"I take for granted," says he, "that a proper cultiva tion of the mind must ensure happiness, both individual and relative. The beneficent Author of our being con templated a purpose in this gift to man, willed it for good, and, I assume, that men only act rationally when they embrace all practicable means which their time and cir cumstances permit, in storing their minds with profitable knowledge--with that which will benefit themselves, and tell with advantage on the many around them." After briefly adverting to the folly of those who thus neglect the gifts of PROVIDENCE—who enfeeble their minds by drink ing, or the giddy vortex of amusements, who finally become a prey to hypochondria, and sink into a state of inanition, he adds :—" How different is the attitude of that mind whose Powers are enriched with wisdom I—breaking asunder the bonds by which superstition and ignorance had enslaved the understanding, and pouring a flood of light, and reason, and comfort, where before darkness, and error, and de spondency • had prevailed." And further on—" I must express my belief that no individual knows the full extent of the resources and riches of his own mind till he summon them to his aid, or circumstances call them into action. Difficulties often indeed form the character, and though num bers sink under them, forgotten and unknown, some enjoy the fruits of a successful issue ; and a sun struggling with the clouds that entangle its progress in the heavens is a spec. tacle that may well command admiration. Let then the waves of truth, the indissoluble, the immutable, and eternal truth, roll far and wide ; they will gladdan and enrich, not desolate or destroy; and, let it not be forgotten, that la exhibiting the fruits of our enterprise we present teals of truth not our own, but which belong to the t First Cause." The great benefits to be derived from ' l " 4 --uunics' Institutes he points out in glowing language, and °t the least gratifying feature in the address is the thorough he of the speaker with his audience — a proof tha t 4 e attends to his duties as a minister, while he inculcates t he lessons of human wisdom. We, therefore, make no a p o logy for this long extract. It combines truth w ith a , `ervent eloquence which none can read unmoved. andlo our times experimental science is accessible to the many. no longer the monopoly of the few ; the hieroglyphics which perplexed their studies are blotted out, and it is the unfettered lan. ha g e of the h o ne s t anti f a i t hf u l treasurers of knowledg e, that t hey iii be happy to see those around them happy.

OPENING OF THE NEW HALL, LINCOLN'S INN, BY HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERT. This monument to future generations, of the munificence, spirit, and taste of the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn, of the nineteenth century, was opened yesterday by her Majesty, her Royal Consort, and some of the first nobility in the country, with great form and ceremony. As we have not hitherto given any account of this mag nificent building, alike creditable to the taste of the benchers and the a rc hit ec t, it may be as well that we should do so before g i v i ng that of its opening byour Gracious Queen. Within two years and a half the whole pile of buildings, more elaborate in design and superior in execution than any of the Halls of the other Inns of Court, has been not only raised from the ground, but decorated and furnished com pletely. The whole building extends upwards of 230 feet from north to south, in a direct line, but not in a uniform range, it being, conformably with the arrangement of the in terior, broken up externally into three principal masses, whereby considerable play of outline and a pleasing diversity of composition are obtained, that carry with them a charm of their own, which frequently impresses more forcibly than mere beauty. The three main divisions consist of the hall at the south end; the library at the north, which is placed trans versely to the rest of the plan, its length being in the direc tion of east and west, while the intermediate portion com prises the council-room on its east side, the drawing-room on its west; with a vestibule of general communication between them opening at one end into the great hall, and at the oppo site one into the library, so that from the latter room a long and varied vista may be obtained, terminating in the great south window of the hall. Although these apartments, consti tuting the whole of the upper part of the structure, are over the floor level with the terrace ; the approach and ascent to them is on the outside, yet not entirely, as there is an inner flight of steps besides those leading up from the terrace. There is, indeed, an entrance also to the lower floor, but it is intended as quite a secondary and private one, except that it communi cates directly with what is called the benchers' room, with a richly ornamented ceiling. The common entrance to the hall is at the south or lower end of it, through the oak screen beneath the gallery. And even before it is entered, or if access into it cannot be obtained at all, a clear view of OPENING OF THE PORTS. A most important rumour circulates in select circles in the City, relative to the terms on which foreign grain and flour are to be admitted for home consumption by the Order in Council expected out to morrow. If we are correctly informed, the following will be the scale laid down : Wheat, 4s. ; barley, 2s. ; oats, ls. ; beans and peas, 2s. per quarter; and flour, 2s. per sack. This order will release about one million quarters of grain and flour in bond in the United Kingdom, 170,000 barrels of flour on the way from the United States, 150,000 barrels from Canada, and 60.000 quarters of wheat from the Baltic, besides other supplies, which may perhaps reach before the winter sets in. The duty to-day is returned at 16s.— Evening Paper of yesterday. it may be enjoyed through the screen itself, the latter consisting of open compartments, each of which is filled in with a single sheet of plate. glass. Whether it be entered from this, or the upper end, upon the dais, the coup d'ceil is splendid. This banquetting room is a truly noble and worthy specimen of the magnificent class to which it belongs—we might safely pronounce it the most magnificent specimen of that class of modern date, for if it falls short of them, and earlier ones, in some particulars, it surpasses them in others, and is of more uniform excellence throughout. Its dimensions are 120 feet by 45, increased at the north end to 60 by the two spacious oriels at the extremities of the dais, which cause that part of the hall to become a kind of transept. A fine open roof of oak, somewhat similar in design to the celebrated one of Westminster Hall, produces a powerful degree of character as well as magnificence. Its windows, which are filled in with a profusion of painted glass in their upper half, exhibiting armorial bearings and a variety of devices, give the new hall an air of finished grandeur and richness which cause it to eclipse nearly all other structures of the kind. After the hall itself the library is the most important part of the interior, both for its size and its architectural character. If is 80 feet in length by 40 feet in width, and 48 feet high ; and terminates at each end in a lofty, spacious, and deeply recessed oriel, whose window forms three sides of an octagon, while the ether two sides, or embrasure in the thickness of the walls, are richly adorned with shafts, panels, mouldings, and other architectural details. The same, or even an in creased degree of decoration is bestowed upon the ceilings, which are framed in by an arch, forming the head of the ge neral recess. The windows themselves are of unusually rich de sign for their kind, their heads being filled with tracery ; and the mode here adopted for the glazing generally is singularly tasteful and happy in effect. Instead of being of the usual lozenge form, the quarrels consist of small circles, or paters of moulded glass and their interstices, whereby the appearance becomes that of delicate network; and, diapering also, the light is in some degree refracted, in consequence of the surface of the glass being embossed. Besides these two beautiful windows, there are three others on the north side, in the gallery over the bookcases, which are not only against the walls, but are made in the lower part of the room to form seven recesses. We must not pass over the vestibule between the hall and library, for it is a very interest ing, piquant, and scenic bit, the centre of it forming an octagon with open arches, carried up as a directory or spacious lantern, with windows on its sides, partially filled in with painted glass. The adjoining rooms right and left, the council and drawing-room, are, though rather plain, in excellent taste, without anything to strike in description , yet with much to captivate by effect. One thing, however, there is for notice in them, which is, that their ribbed ceilings are of painted deal, which would hardly be supposed by those who have never before seen any specirnent of that wood when brought to perfection, by being slightly stained and polished, whereby it acquires a depth of tone and a lustre rivalling those of the most expensive woods. The preparations for the reception of her Majesty and her Royal Consort, and the distinguished guests expected to .grace the inauguration of this splendid building, have been going on for some time past, and were not concluded till late on Wednesday night. Although it had been announced that her Majesty was not expected to arrive before half-past one or two o'clock, long before that hour every part of the Inn from which a glimpse of her Majesty could be obtained was occupied. Her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort, escorted by a de tachment of Life Guards, arrived at the hall soon after one, and were received at the south entrance by the Treasurer, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, and most of the benchers of the Inn, who attended her Majesty through the centre of the hall into the vestibule. Her Majesty, who looked extremely well, was dressed in a blue bonnet with blue feathers, a rich Indian shawl of scarlet and gold, and a white lace dress. Her Majesty was accompanied through the hall by her Royal Consort, who wore a field-marshal's uniform, by some of her ladies in waiting, and by several of the Officers of the Household. Sometime previous to the arrival of her Majesty, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who appeared in excellent health, the Lord Chancellor, Sir James Graham, the Earl of Aderdeen, the Duke of Richmond, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Lords Cottenham and Campbell, the Vice-Chancellor of England, and Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce and Wigram, entered the hall, which was at this time filled almost to suffocation by barristers and students, who cheered her Majesty and her Royal Consort most enthusiastically as they proceeded up the hall. The Queen and the ladies in attendance upon her having retired to the Council-room, the Treasurer, the Duke of Wel lington, and the other personages of distinction remained in the next drawing-room until her Majesty left her retiring room, when the Treasur er con d ucte d h er an d hi s R ,y a l Highness Prince Albert to the library, accompanied by the visitors and benchers. The Queen being seated on the chair of state, with his loyal Highness Pi ince Albert on her left hand, the Treasurer, a ccompanied by the benchers and the deputation of barristers and students, read the address from the society, and presented the same to her Majesty on his knee; after which, as we understood, her Majesty conferred on him the honour of knighthood. The ancient book, recording the names of the illustrious visitors in the time of his Majesty King Charles the Second, was then placed on a table in the library, for the inspection of her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, both of whom, as we understatid, inscribed their names in it. The Treasurer then conducted the Queen again through the vestibule to the centre of the table at the north end of the hall, and placed her Majesty under the canopy of state, with Prince Albert on her right h :nd. During this ceremony the barristers and students remained standing in the hall. Grace having been said, her Majesty commanded all present to be seated. Her Majesty, during the dejeurer, wore her bonnet, and repeatedly laughed and chatted with the Treasurer And the Prince, the Litter of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNUNG-_ OCTOBER 31, 1848 i, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - - SIR,—My name having been placed on the Provisional Committee of the New London and Birmingham Railway without my knowledge or consent, I have written to the sclicitors, Messrs.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were received by the Master of the Horse, Lord George Lennox, and Captain Francis Seymour. The Queen and Prince Albert left Buckingham Palace at one o'clock for the new Lincoln's Inn Hall. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were attended in their carriage by the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Lady in Waiting, and the Earl of Jersy, G. C.H., Master of the Horse. The royal suite followed in three carriages, and consisted of the Hon. Miss Stanley and the Hon. Miss Dawson, Maids of Honour in Waiting, Hon.

The royal party took their departure by a special train on their return to Windsor Castle. Mr. Fortique, the Venezuela Minister, died suddenly on the morning of Tuesday last, at his residence in Wimpole-street. The result of a post-mortem examination, conducted by Mr. Erichsen, of Welbeck-street, assisted by Mr. Benjamin Phil lips, F.R.S., proves that the immediate cause of his Excel lency's decease, was the bursting of an aneurismal tumour of the aorta, of large size, into the left side of the chest. Lord Wharncliffe, Lord President, arrived in town last night, from Wortley Hall. Sir James Graham arrived in town on Wednesday evening. Lord Stanley arrived in town last evening, from Knows ley Hall. Dispatches from the Goverrors of Hong-Kong and the Cape of Good Hope were received yesterday at the Colo nial-office. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. --- The ballet of Le Diable a Quatre was produced here last evening, with great and deserved success. It is, in truth, a very splendid affair, and boasts of that of which few ballets indeed can boast, an intelligible plot. It is, in fact, a ballet version of the old farce of The Devil to Pay, the plot of which, from the days of Queen Elizabeth to those of Queen Victoria, has kept uninterrupted possession of the stages of England, Spain, and France. In Le Diable a Quatre the wife taming cobbler of the original farce is made a basket maker, and this is almost the sole difference between them. Mr. Gilbert was the basket-maker ; and Mademoiselle Me lanie Duval, his wife, who, in the ballet, is made quite dancing mad. She adores the Mazourka, and even while seated at her work of basket-making cannot, for the life of her, keep her feet still. Her acting in this scene, in the characteristic pas of the Dansomanic, was admirable. Nothing could be more joyous than her manner throughout. Then when the change has taken place, and she finds her self transformed into the Countess—(by the by this change of beds from the chateau to the cottage, and vice versa, is very cleverly managed}—there was something quite fascinating in the naive simplicity, the hearty honesty of her want of re finement; and in the dancing lesson her awkwardness was delightful. If we may be permitted to compare a cheo graphic with an operatic effort—the bad dancing of Melanie Duval in this scene was quite equal to the bad singing of Grisi in "La prova d' un' opera seria." In her grand pas de deux, however, with M. Adrien (the Count), which immediately followed, she proved that, however well she could assume awkwardness for the nonce, she was still the same Melanie Duval who, two years ago, esta blished herself at the Princess's at the head of her profession, and at the same time made the reputation of the theatre in that department. She dances even better now than she did before her visit to Madrid, and right glad are we to see her back again at the Princess's. The s hrewish Countess was represented with great spirit by Miss Ballin. The taming scene in the basket-maker's cottage was a fine piece of pantomimic acting, and the danceforcee and Polka a coups de batons, was given with a mingled energy and grace that quite took the audience by storm. The plaudits were enthusiastic ; bouquets were showered from all parts of the house, until the stage looked like a parterre. Mr. and Miss Marshall, who appeared as the attendants on the Count and Countess, danced a Mazourka and a Polka with great spirit, and were deservedly encored in both. The ballet concludes with a grand Mazourka of sixty, the effect of which was very bril liant. The scenery and costumes are superb, and the piece has been excellently put upon the stage. At the falling of the curtain the principal dancers were called for, and the ballet was announced for repetition amidst the enthusiastic applause of a crowded house. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Live►pool yesterday were 2,560 bales, including 500 on speculation. Buyers had an abundant choice, ou easier terms. 100 Pernains, 64d. to 6 1 A t d.; 150 Bahia, 6d.; 20 Egyptian, at 6%d. ; and Ws rest American, to sd, per lb. In Shares, the business done was more limited; but the market was rather firmer. A greater degree of confidence is observable in the City to .day, especially in the Railway Share Matkets, where the apprehensions of many failures felt in many quarters yester day have very much subsided. The accounts from Liver pool came up rather more favourable to-day, although there has not been much doing there for the last day or two. The settlement of the Share ACcount is, however, likely to be an extremely heavy one, and no ques tion there will be some] difficulty experienced in the adjustment. Money in the City generally is pretty plentiful fur general purposes, but on the Stock Exchange it is tight. That there will be one or more failures on or before the settlement is considered to be a certainly. The firm named yesterday as being in difficulties has not succeeded in making an arrangement with its creditors, and will in all probability be shortl( declared as defaulters. The sooner the went comes, however, the better, should, as is certainly not anticipated at the present moment, parties of influence be compelled to suspend operations. Many anxious inquiries were made in Mark-lane and in the City generally this morning to ascertain whether any information had transpired.on the subject of the terms upon which foreign grain Is to be admitted, to provide stocks of bread stuffs as a set-off against the failure of the potato crops and the short yield of the harvest. Up to the present hour there is nothing current that can be relied upon. We have accounts from Ceylon to-day to a late date. The chief information is as ,respects the coffee crop. Upon this interesting point the Colombo Herald observes : " As the time approaches for collecting the coffee crop the anxiety of the planter naturally increases on its behalf, and . per haps there never was a season in which mere cause for anxiety was given than in this present one of 1845: what the consequence will be of the long and protracted drought which has prevailed from the time of flowering to the present month must soon be ascertained, and the most gloomy anticipations are formed from the unpromising appearance of many extensive districts in the in terior; when we consider that the greater number of those plan tations situated below an elevatioa of 2,000 feet have scarcely been refreshed by a single shower since April, the prospect is any thing but cheering. Laden with an unusually heavy crop, the 'lees have been deprived of the necessary supply of nourishment during the most important period of the year, and the drooping and shrivelled leaves suEciently show the extent of injury sus tamed, 7 " But let us leave the dry and parched districts and ascend the mountain sides—attaining an altitude of 2,500 to 4,000 feet. The contrast is pleasing—the occasional showers which have there fallen, although neither so heavy as usual, have done all that was neces sary for estates thus situated—the crop has advanced steadily throughout, is, on the most favoured pieces, large and generally of the best quality ; picking has commenced, and some forty or fifty bushel a day are finding their way to the store." Consols fur Money and the Aecount have both improved to-day, and the market may be said to look well. The Account price is 97 1 A %, and for Transfer 97 %. It is clear, therefore, that the desire to sell Stock that has lately existed is on the decline. The premium on Exchequer-bills has ruled from 88s. to 40s. Bank Stock is up to 206, and the New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. to 98 1 4 lA. Indian Bonds have re mained at about 545. premium. _ Much business has been transacted in the Foreign Stocks this morning, and generally at good prices. Spanish Three per Cents. have reached 37% ; the Portuguese Four per Cents. rose from 575. to 595. ; Bra zilian 83, and Mexican, after having opened at 3l lA, has re ceded to 30%. Many of the Railway Shares have been in improved re quest to-day, especially those of the constituted lines. For the corrected prices we must refer to the official list.

A special general meeting of the Shareholders of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, was held this day at one o'clock, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, G. Hudson, Esq., MP., in the chair. As this was the first meeting of the Company since Mr. Hudson has joined the Directory, and as it was also Mr. Hudson's first public appearance in London, great curiosity was excited, and long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the proceedings the large room in the London Tavern was crowded in every part. Precisely at one o'clock the Chairman, accompanied by the officers of the Company, entered the room, and was re ceived with' the most vociferous cheering. On taking the chair, he called upon the Secretary to read the advertise ment calling the meeting, which having been done, The CIIAIRMAIi said, that on this the first occa sion of bia presenting himself before them, he would commence by offering them his grateful thanks for the confidence which they had been pleased to repose in him by presenting to him a requisition, signed by a large number of shareholders, requesting him to join their Com pany.—(Cheers.) He begged leave also to thank his col leagues, by whom he was surrounded, for the kind and hand some manner in which' they had received him— (Cheers)—and he felt it his duty to do them this justice, to assure the Proprietors that he was convinced that their only anxiety was to develop the resources of the line so as to add to the dividends of the shareholders.—(Loud cheers.) He was now sufficiently acquainted with the position of the Company to be able to assure them that there was no line in the kingdom which before long would yield a better dividend than the Eastern Counties' Railway.—(Loud cheers.) They only hadto exercise proper energy and exertion, by giving to the public those proper conveniences and facilities which every railway company ought to give—(Loud cheers)—and traffic would flock to the line in such a manner, as to prove that it would be one of the best railway investments in the coun try.—(Cheers.) He would say for himself, and for those gentlemen who acted with him, that no exertions should be wanting on their part to give the public all those con veniences to which they were justly entitled, and all those facilities which they had every right to expect from railway companies in return for those great privileges which had been granted to them by Parliament, and by doing this they would be not only supplying the wants of the public, but be benefiting the Shareho'ders likewise.—(Cheers.) They had assembled there to-day thus early for the purpose of having an opportunity of developing their plans for the extension of the line to York, and he hoped before he left that his plans would be honoured with their approba tion, that he should lay before the public such a scheme as they ought to adopt, and at the same time offer such terms to the London and York Company as would induce them to join in the plan.,--(Cheers.) He was sure no person would wish to see money expended in public works without it yielding a return, and he was satisfied, after care ful reflection, that if the London and York were constructed to-morrow, it would be a most severe infliction on the share holders ; and if they would accept the terms which he would that day offer to them (and he hoped the shareholders would take it up if the directors did not)—if they would do that, so as to enable them to go to Parliament as a united body, they would obtain the means of submitting to Parliament the best and easiest means of opening a communication be tween London and York. He would first have the resolutions read which he was about to submit ; after this he would offer some observations on the subject, and after that en deavour to explain his scheme for uniting with the London and York for the construction of the best line between Cam bridge and York. He called upon Mr. puncan to read the resolution. Mr. Dusciat then read the resolution, which was to the effect that application should be made to Parliament to au• thorise the Eastern Counties' Company to make an extension line from Lincoln to York, and also from Tottenham to Par ringdon-street, with such branches as might be necessary ; that the capital should be 4,500,0004 to be called Eastern ICounties York Extension shares, to be raised in shares of 20/. each, a deposit of 21, each to be paid on the 10th of January; such capital to be apportioned in the proportion of 944,240 shares to the Northern and Easton Company, 1,500,000 to the Cam • bridge and Lincoln, 200,000 to the York and North Mid land, 1,120,420 to the Eastern Counties' Company, and the remainder to the landowners, and capitalists, andothers along the line, reserving to the directors authority to make any alterations, or to enter into such arrangements as they may deem expedient. Mr. Hunsos again rose and said—Now, Gentlemen, if you will allow me, I will make some few observations upon the reesol Mien which has just been read to you by Mr. Duncan, and first, with respect to the Northern and Eastern Counties' Rail way Company. It was quite clear that we could not go to Parliament with the extension of this scheme with such an agreement as had formerly existed with the rival company. I therefore submitted the plan which is now contained in this resolution to the Directors of that Company, and they in the most handsome manner recommended its adoption to the shareholders on the terms now proposed. They are to receive two 20/. shares for each 501. share in the Northern and Eastern. These gentlemen have been waiting for some time to come into this nice snug third, and they have never yet been able to obtai❑ it. It was stated that the Eastern Counties gentlemen had been rec.:iving, by the issue of ne, .; shares, a large premium on the original stock. That being the case, it was necessary to give some compen sati: 0 for the abandonment of that agreement. It was' most important that that agreement should be abrogated, because you may remember that- it was one of the greatest objections last session, that this tract of country was not under one mangement. But we can go to Parliament with the Northern and Eastern as an entire and uncontrolled scheme from London to York. That is the reason why I wished to conclude terms with the London and York, and I must say that I was met in the most handsome and liberal spirit by those gentlemen.— (Cheers.) It was in contemplation by the York and North Midland Company to make a line from Doncaster to Lincoln at a valuation of about 200,000/. We gave that up to you, but still we have a right to claim in return the amount of stock. There was another Company that we thought had some claim upon us—l refer to the Midland Counties; but on further examination we find that they have no claim, as we do not engross any part of their line.—(Cheers.) To this measure I think Parliament, after a careful and unprejudiced consi deration, cannot object. lam aware that the London and York have got a step in advance of us, but we all know that the Committee which decided in the House was a divided one, and the value of their opinion may be estimated when we hear the reason assigned by one gentleman in his place in the House of Commons for his vote was, that one indivi dual was in possession of 600 miles of country.—(Great laughter). Was this a proper reason for any man to assign? If there ever was a futile reason this was one. I hope to see some sound principle laid down by the Legislature for the guidance of members of Committees. When we consider that they are to adjudge upon millions of property, millions invested at great hazard, property which contributes to the good of the country, as well as of the individual shareholder—is it right, I say, that this property is to be trifled with and wasted because one individual is entrusted by others with the management of so many miles of railway. But Gentlemen, what does the country get by the passing of this measure? It involves only an outlay of four millions of money, and gives larger accommodation than the London and York. By the passing of our Bill, however, you protect four millions and a half already expended, and you save the expenditure of six mil lions, besides hundreds of persons from ruin, who might. be silly enough to invest their capital in the London and York. They would thus secure all that was valuable in the district. between York and London. It will secure the traffic north and south of a most important town, Cambridge. On the other hand the London and York line passes through many little towns. I will not call them little towns, but they are, at all events, towns that are already well supplied with inde pendent branch lines. The traffic cf such towns as Newark, which the London and York proposed to accommodate, is very small, north and south. This traffic is with the west, which are the great consuming districts. I have now explained my views on that part of the resolution just read, relating to this branch of our present meeting. Never theless, though such a proposition may be considered an ar rangement as should not be agreed to by an old established company like the EasteruCounties, yet it is one which, in my opinion, will best serve your interests, and secure to you future advantages. It is a proposition that should be taken up by you with the best spirit. It is one which I commend to the adoption of the Directors of the London and York Hallway Company. It was received in evidence that that line will require at least 8!-, millions for its construc tion—(llear, hear) —and taking the present price of work and material, I am quite sure it will require at least 10 mil lions. The Directors have had their Subscription Deed signed for five millions, which was only equal to half the completion of the line. What I propose is, that the 501. shares shall be reduced to 201. shares, and the shareholders be allowed to come and take 20/. shares in the extension. If the Directors are so pledged to press forward their scheme, then your next course is to look to the shareholders themselves—(llear, hear)—to those who have embarked capital without the least chance of its realis ing them any benefit. Offer to them the olive branch—the boon—and leave them to act for themselves. As far as the Directors are concerned, it may not be so easy to arrange with them, as some one of them may be desirous they should take the line through Bedford, while another may want them to go by Doncaster. Let the shareholders of the London and York ponder well over the arrangement I propose, and not attempt to carry out an un dertaking which was not backed with a single esta blished line in the kingdom, e.nd the directory of which did not contain a single gentleman of experience in railway affairs. I would not have proposed those terms did 1 not think it would be for your benefit as shareholders, and also for that of the country at large. You must take the proposition on the broad principle, and though you are shareholders of an old established line, you must consider that on the alliance and terms proposed you will be sure to get as much dividend as the circumstances of the country will allow.—(Hear, hear.) By taking a liberal and wise view of the question you will do that which will realise your permanent interests as pro prietors. Though you may not get 10 per cent. of a dividend, you may at least secure a fair return for the i.uvostmente you have made.—(Cries of " Hear t hear.") This proposition would meet this inequality, and your stock being rated at 14/. 165., when the line is completed, by pay ing 11. 45., you will be reckoned at 201. per share in the united, companies. Thus it is evident that your stock will advance while the London and York line will be in a position to de rive great benefit. The company is better without this line. Our scheme is a little longer. It takes in Lincolnshire and Doncaster. It is, I repeat, a little longer than its competitor; but we must measure railways by time, and not by distance. If you take the line between Grantham and London—and it is evident that we must dwell on the time which it will take to construct, as a matter of far greater importance—for it was a position which no sophistry could subvert, that the line which took the least time to form must be the preferable line. - The line we propose to construct has no tunnelling, with the exception of three-quarters of a mile. The London and York has long gradients of one in a hundred. If gentlemen will sit down calmly and consider the question, there can be no doubt, at least I entertain the hope that there will be no difference of opinion on the matter we ' are now discussing. We must then perceive how deeply our interests are affected, when there has already been expended no less than 4,000,0001. of money, and this might,' if matters were not wisely transacted, lead to a considerable further outlay in a most unfortunate speculation. I hope the London and York Company will feel that this is the wisest course, namely, to acquiesce in the view I have taken, and that nothing but ruin can result from the continuance of the contest in which unfortunately INT have already been engaged. They will have another lu.. from London to York, entirely divested of the difficulties that encumber the present line, and affording the advantages that were required, and which, they must be satisfied their own line did not offer. It will cause the remodelling of the whole of this scheme. According to my proposition, considerable advan tages will be conferred on the people of Cambridge and Lincoln, and that is, that a million, instead of a million and a half, should be appropriated to that line, or, in other words, that they should have two shares in the new creation for every three in the existing company. By this arrangement the proportion which the Eastern Counties' Railway would receive would be less, but in the course of time we shall get as fair a proportion as any other company. Another benefit that will result from this will be, that we shall put our stock in a position that rail: render us unassailable, for we shall be enabled to obtain a com munication with thenorth of England. The public will thus be considerably benefited. I have now brought before you the whole of the scheme which, as the organ of your Directory, it devolved upon me to submit to your consideration. In doing so we have been actuated by a desire to discharge, to the utmost, our duty, and to render ourselves, in the position which we occupy, as acceptable as possible to you and the public.—(Hear, hear t ) No person could have witnessed the state in which railway property was placed, subject to all the unfortunate circumstances with which they were familiar, without the deepest anxiety. When they recollected the variety of schemes, the multitude of projects that were brought forward, in which figured the names of persons who hitherto had never been associated with railways, all who were really honest in their speculations must be glad that a period had arrived when these rash undertakings had experienced a check. I, for one, am rejoiced to see this, no matter whether it results from the agency of the press generally, from the admonitions of the Times, or from any cause whatever.—(Hear, hear.) No, gentlemen, I am surprised, deeply surprised, how people could subscribe to them. You see the names of Right Hon. Gentlemen and Aldermen—(Hear, and laughter)—lending their names to schemes with which they have no earthly connexion, and in which they can have no personal interest. No, they have really no connexion with the district through which the line is intended to pass. Nor were they in fact known personally to any: of the local authorities, or to any of the landholders who may be supposed to have some immediate interest in the scheme—(Hear)—and yet you see their names blazing forth in advertisements relating to schemes running through various localities, and proposed for accommodating, forsooth, various interests, and various dis tricts, and sometimes half a dozen in one day.—( Hear, and a laugh.) No, gentlemen, I do not know what these gentlemen can be thinking of; for it can neither reflect honour on their names, nor credit on their judgments; and I for one, Gentlemen, shall ever strenuously- and stoutly de nounce the system as pernicious and unjust.—(Hear, hear.) I will never lend my name to a scheme, or schemes, which I have not fairly and legitimately inquired into, or which I believe will not eventually prove a public advantage and of public utility, and which will not in the end fairly and adequately benefit the shareholders, who may be disposed to embark their capital in promoting the the scheme or schemes.—(Hear, hear.) I hold in the highest contempt all who lend their names to these fictitious projects; for by lending their tames to them they induced men of standing and respectability to apply for shares; and what is the result? Why, ruin follows. It is gambling in its worst possible shape. It may be that it can not affect the monetary system of this country, because the money is merely passing from one hand to another, but you must remember that it will ruin the little, and in all pro bability exalt the great. I say, therefore, those who are playing at this game of railway scheming ought to be cautious—the public ought to be cautious. It is perfectly marvellous the letters which I have received from all parts of the country allotting me shares, or applying for shares; but I make it an invariable practice of putting them one and all in tte fire.—( Hear, bear.) And at the same time I am constantly and continually receiving applications, asking me to lend my name to such undertakings as those I have just denounced. Yes, the number is perfectly astonishing to me even, and I sometimes say to some of them " You must think me mad to fancy I would lend you my name for such a purpose."—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now brought before you everything which appears to me likely to affect your interest, and having made these few observations, allow me again to repeat that your undertaking bids fair to become a sound railway property, and I am sure it will sooner or later become a sure and safe medium for in vestment. And here let me remark, what a great advantage to the country it is that property of this description should exist, in which parties can with safety invest their money, and be content with receiving some three or four per cent. upon their capital.—(Applause.) Well, then, is it not of,national impor tance that such property should be protected by the Legislature from the hands of unjust and worthless invaders ?—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Be fore I sit down, give me leave to mention that I had the pleasure of going down your line, and I hope to have the pleasure of spending another day or two upon it. The result of this inspection justifies my stating, that on the com pletion of the change we aro making, we shall be enabled to work the traffic as well as any line in England.—(Applause.) It only wants a little resolution to enable us to accomplish this. That resolution we are prepared to give, and I confidently hope you will ere a few days are passed, be enabled yourselves to perceive a change.— (Hear, hear.) I am fortunate in having obtained theas:istance and co-operation of such gentlemen as my friend Mr. Wadding ton, for it enables me more properly and more effectually to work the line; and I am also under the greatest possible obliga tions to the whole of your Directors for the friendly and kind manner in which they have received the proposition which I have the honour now to submit to you. It has, I may add, their entire and cordial approbation. Gentlemen, the resolution having been read to you, it is now before the meeting; but before it is put, I shall have great pleasure in answering any questions or giving any information which any shareholder may require, and be most happy to hear any ob servations which any gentleman may think proper to address to the meeting. The matter is now in your own hands. An HON. PROPRIETOR—WiII you allow me, Mr. Chair man, to ask what proportion of the new capital will be at the disposal of the Eastern Counties proprietor}. The Citantatals-Xertainly. 1,120,420/. 600,000/. is reserved for various purposes. 200,000/. will be at the disposal of the York and North Midland, 1,500,000/. of the Cambridge and Lincoln, and 044,244/- of the Northern and Eastern. I may as well mention that there are extensions of the Eastern Counties which will have to be brought before you at a future meeting. Mr. SHAW participated, he believed, in what must be the general and unanimous approbation of the meeting, of the large and liberal schemes which the Chairman had laid before them. lle was quite sure, whether they looked at the national importance of the schemes, or involving the public interest and convenience, or the benefit they were likely to confer upon the shareholders in the Eastern Counties Railway, that they must meet with general and universal support. The propositions which the Chairman had laid before the meeting were of so clear and distinct a character as hardly to require explanation ; but there was one question in connexion with them which he should be happy to have answered, and which he was certain the meeting would be glad to hear. It was with regard to the proportion of shares which would be distributed amongst the Eastern Counties Company. The Chairman had mentioned the number shares they were to have, supposing the London and York Company did participate in the scheme. Now supposing they did not, which he hardly thought would be the case, what was the proportion they would be entitled to ? The CHAIRMAN—Perhaps the simplest way to put it, will be to say 10s. for every 20/. capital.—(Crios of " No, no," from three or four of the Directors.) "%VOL : then, the capital of the Eastern Counties Company is 2,820,0001.; you have 1,400,000/. to divide amongst 2,820,000/. In reply to several gentlemen, shareholders in the London and York Line, the CHAIRMAN remarked that this is a great and important question. You receive, he said, 201. stock by paying 11.4 a. If you get 301. instead of 201. shares, it will surely be better than taking new 201. shares.—(Cheers.) The amended re►olution says that so many shares shall be divided so and so. If the shareholders of the London and York are not satisfied they may revert to the old resolution which is that 420,000 shares be divided amongst them. The Bill cannot be in Parliament before February, and no money will required to be paid till January. D. W. HARVEY, Esq., rose in the body of the meeting, and said, that as he had on more than one occasion taken what might appear to many an inconvenient part against the old government, he seized this occasion to ex press his admiration of the new dynasty, and in the warmest terms to approve of the judicious manner in which the Chairman had formed the new Cabinet. That he would merely throw out one word as to the enor mous power he had wielded in harmonizing an immense mass, a compound of materials which had always been to him an object of reverence. He would just call the new coalition the government of all the talents. Now, as to what our ease might have been—we were at an advanced stage of the dis ease—far gone in a decline. At the eleventh hour we called in :a skilful, a judicious physician ; on examining the patient he had found him chargeable with will and loose habits, and that to these was to be traced the foundation of the disease, but that the medical gen • tleixian is convinced the patient may yet recover himself. He must describe to them the position of their Chairman. Hestands with a flag of peace in the one hand and a bank of wealth in the other. He is prepared, judiciously prepared, before entering into the contest for fighting over again the war of the House of York. He has seen the ground, and is con vinced, before entering on it, that it will yield him a certain advantage. Such harmony has he now procured, that we kave one common object, a common stock, and a common interest. It matters little what shares be given, because, if we receive no advance, we have an enormous return of wealth. Now, along the North-Eastern Company's Grand Trunk line the whole traffic will pass. If he might say any thing in his position, their own Directors have not been fergetful of their interests, and their position will be better in the House of Commons. If the London and York agree, then there will be a division of 4,500,000/. in shares. fhe Cambridge and Lincoln Company are interested in this consideration. Ile might possibly have proceeded to show how their own Directors bad appreciated their own interest. and understood when the occasion made for them - selves.—(The Chairman remarked here, that they 'had not known anything of the scheme, till it had been developed by himself at the Board.) .Mr. Harvey proceeded to say that that only confirmed what he said, that when anything good was laid before them they were too wise to refuse. (Mr. Hudson here said they had at first objected to the scheme.) Mr. Harvey proceeded to congratulate the directors and the meeting on the very favourable position in which they were now likely to be placed. He had formerly been a grumbler, but he had now great pleasure in tendering his cordial allegiance to the new autho rity.— (Cheers.) The resolution was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN announced that there was no other busi ness before the meeting, but he would make an observation in reference to something which had fallen from Mr. Her- vey, on the subject of the Northern and Eastem shares. Now, ho thought it was a most unfortunate thing that they should know anything about Northern and Eastern. He wanted to see the Companies one, and with one Directory.— (Cheers.) He hoped he should never more hear of Northern and Eastern interests as distinct from those of the Company generally. They were an united:company, The effect of the proposed arrangement would be to snake them part and parcel of the Eastern Counties' Company.-- (Cheers) There would be no more division of interests. He would state, that when he first made his proposition, they lied strongly contested the principles he had laid down, but, for the sake of peace, and to promote the general interests of the Company, they bad given their consent to his scheme.— :Here Mr. Ward, M.P , made some communication to the Elon. Chairman, who, after a pause of a few seconds, conti• nued ]—His Hon. Friend, Mr. Ward, had reminded him that the Northern and Eastern had 5 per cent. guaranteed to them. He was quite aware of that ; but whenever they paid more the Northern and Eastern would participate with them as a matter of course ; and so sure was he that they would'pay more, that he did not look upon this guarantee Of 5 per cent. as a matter of any great consequeroce.— (Cheers.) He was sure they would pay a great deal more than that.—(Cheers.) Mr. Scorr said, that as he bta taken a prominent and active part in those proceedings of the Com pany which had led to the invitation to Mr. Hudson he felt bound now to call upon them to express their thanks to that gentleman.—(Cheers.) Nothing could have given them greater satisfaction than to see the chair occupied. as it had been that day.—(Cheers.) When times were dark with them and they had little prospect of benefiting them selves, they had appealed to Mr. Hudson, and he had satisfactorily responded to their call, and nothing had afforded the Company so much satisfaction as to see their prospecta represented and their interests protected by Mr. Hudson.-- (Loud cheers.) He was the pilot under whose guiftanc• they were to weather the storm. He it was who Opened to them a brilliant prospect for the future by his manner of reconciling conflicting interests under his able manage ment, and they would be enabled to pay a satisfactory divi dend, and to emerge from their difficulties.—(Cheers). The best guarantee they could have for this was, the expe rience which they had had of Mr. Hudson's success on other railways. (Cheers.) He was certain that Mr. Hudson would do all that man could do. They could desire no man to do more ; and ho was sure they would receive no less —(Cheers.) The railway public had reposed the most unbounded confidence in Mr. Hudson, and that confidence had never been disappointed. When Mr. Hud son had been first asked to join the Eastern Counties• Company, he had declined, but when he saw the requisi tion of the shareholders, and was aware of the num ber of names attached to it, and of the large amount of property represented by those names, he at once responded to the appeal, and in doing so he had agreed to forego every personal consideration.—(Loud cheers.) For this they ought to thank him.—(Cries of "We do thank him.") He would not detain them longer, but would at once move that the thanks of the meeting be presented to George Hudson, Esq., M.P., their chairman.—(Cheers.) Mr. RUFF seconded the motion. The Shareholders ought to feel grateful for the readiness with which Mr. Hudson had undertaken the arduous duty imposed upon him. For himself he could only say that he was highly gratified at the result. Mr. CROSBY put the resolution, which WAS carried amid enthusiastic cheering. A gentleman in the gallery rose to move an amendment, but was put down by the cries of " too late," &c., from all parts of the room. Mr. Hunsort then rose, amid renewed cheering, and said— Gentlemen. I am sorry that I am so unworthy of the kind expressions used towards me by Mr. Scott, and so feelingly responded to by the unanimous ♦oic• of the meet ing.—(Great cheering.) I can assure you that I am deeply sensible of the compliment you have paid me. It is quite true that when first re quested to act with this Company, I did hesitate, for I felt that I was about to undertake an important task; and 1 knew that my time was very limited already, that I was nearly overwhelmed with busi ness; but then I felt, also, that I had no right, after the expression of your wishes delivered to me through Mr. Scott and his colleagues, to hesitate any longer. I felt that I bad no right to consult my own ease, when the inter ests of so many persons were at stake, and when they thought that I could render them assistance.—(Cheers.) We may now flatter ourselves that we are going on smoothly, but it is necessary that we all exert ourselves in carrying out this great measure ; and if we are successful, as we ought to be, for by this time the delirium that was at first felt by some of the Legislature is nearly exploded, and I have no doubt that we shall re ceive full justice from that portion of the Legislature, which induced a certain Noble Lord to say, " Thank God that we have a House of Peers."—(Laughter.) I say I have no doubt that we shall carry our Bill, and that by the House of Lords the London and York will be rejected.—(Cheers.) It has been said by some Hon. Members, and the principle has in a few cases been acted upon, that it is no matter whether a line of railway pays its promoters or not, if it le required by the district which it is intended to benefit. I say that this is a fallacy; there can exist no doubt that it would be a great national evil to have a line existing which would not benefit its shareholders. I have already said that there was no fixed principle to guide the Parliamen tary Committees in the last session, so that this opinion was acted on in some cases, but we are progressing I hope towards improvement.—(Cheers.) But if they still act on the same principle, then I say let them give us our Bill, and we will soon make it a productive one.—(Great cheer ing.) I again thank you, and I hope that we may meet again with the same feelings of unani mity, and it shall be my study, as it is my duty, on all occasions to look after your interests, as by so doing I ata also forwarding the public good. Mr. Hudson sat down amid loud cheering. The meeting then separated.

Of course, therefore, the usual proclamation will be made, and the nomination of a candidate or candidates will follow in a few days.
