f ourthlititton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY—(THIS DAY.) The usual half-yearly meeting of this company took place to-day at the London 'raven:, for the pur pose of receiving the report of the directors, and to transact the other business of the company usual at the half-yearly meeting. Janes Nugent Daniel, Esq , the Chairman of the company, took the chair at twelve o'clock. Tne usual formal proceedings having been gone through, the following report, having been printed and circulated amongst the proprietors, the meeting did not consider it necessary to read it : " Tee statement c f the revenue account for the pact half-year shows that the gross receipts, with the balance of 3371. 133. 4d. from the previous account, amount to 21,61161. 43, and that the expenditure, inclusive of r est on dc.hentu-es, ha 4 been 18 7351. 143., Vie b dance being 2,8701. 10i., which is left at the disposal of the prop tors. `• The comparative pascen7- r traffi c, during the corre sponding months of this andlast year, is as follow?, viz.: 13t0. 1850. Passengers. Amount. Passengers. Amount. January. 136,409 £2,365 14 4 140,Pt33 .£2,117 011 February 111,816 1,958 1 0 151,458 2,210 3 6 a 1 arch t 1,949 13 2 190,511 2,800 15 1 April 167,233 2,924 13 11 213,893 3,150 611 May 217,621 3,775 13 2 255,302 3,684 11 1 Juno 1,010,2t8 £17,558 12 6 1,313,975 £19,147 511 " Upon an analysis of this traffic, it is found that there has been an increase, during the past half-year, of 355,750 passengers, and 2,9681. in the local traffic, and a decrease of 52,043 passengers, and 1,3791. in the river traffic—the total increase being 303,707 passengers, and 1,5891. " From the increase in the local traffic, the directors are disposed to think that the system of day tickets, at a reduced fare, for the double journey, which was intro duced throughout the line at the close of last year, has had a beneficial effect. The directors have strongly ad vised the Gravesend and Woolwich Steam-boat Com panies to adopt a similar system, in the belief that it. would have proved more advantageous than a reduction of the fare for the single journey. The directors are, however, happy to observe that fur the past few weeks there has been an increase both in numbers and receipts, in the river, as well as in the local traffic, compared with this time last year. " The receipts from wharfage are le's than they hare hitherto been, which is ateribataele partly to the falling off in the river traffic, and to the reduction in the wharf age dues, which the directors have deemed it prudent to make, to encourage passenger traffic to the railway. The increased number of wharfs privileged ei land cattle, and the withdrawal of the General Stearn Navigation Com pany's boats, have likewise affected this source of re venue, notwithstanding the conveniences which the Brunswick Wharf affords. "As regards the expenditure, the directors have to observe that the locomotive charges are somewhat more than during the previous ha!f-year, as the mileage of the trains has been increased; they also include the wages of the drivers, for two aditional engines. The following shows the comparative consumption and cost of coke, and the charge. for locomotive power per mile run, during each period:— " July to December, 1849, number of miles run by trains, 103.224; quantity of coke consumed, 1,112 t ,, n..); being 23,0151bs per rale. Total cost, 1,3501. 12s. 7d.• cost, per mile, 2.995 d.; total locomotive charges, 3,6 5 7/ 1 18s 1 Id.; cost per mile, B.llld. " January to June, 1850, number of miles run by trains, 134.457; quantity of coke consumed. 1,228 t.‘ni; being 20,457ib5. p•-r mile. Total cost, 1,606/. 155. 9 , 1.; cost per mile, 2.868 d.; total locomotive charges, 4,38x1. Is. 3d.; cost per mile, 7.832 d. " The only other portion of the revenue account which seems to require notice, is the miscellaneous charges. These expenses were increased by the sum of 797/. tor compensation for injuries sustained in consequence of the accident which occurred on the 7th of November last. Some of tt ore chums were, es usual, exorbitant, and the directors ga , e tuem their lei st at t.mtion, and were enabled in several instances to effect very considerable reductions in them. . " The Bill introduced in the present session of Par liament, fur the purpose of enabling this company to off,r facilities to passengers on the &sworn Counties R always to avail themselves of the City terminus of the railway, received the R..yal atiscut on the 25th of June. By the provisions of this Aet the E ,stern Counties Railway Company are requirel (within three months efer notice by the cue:Tarty) to cony , y by all their trains, except express or mail trains, the carriages and passengers of this company between the Bow Junction and Brentwood, or intermediate stations. And it is also provided that the fates payable by passengers using the Eastern Counties Railways from or to the juncuon, shall not exceed the mileage rate charged be tween Shoreditch a!id the station on the Eastern Counties it , tilways, to or from which the passengers may be conveyed. The notice required by the Act has not yet been given, in cAlitque!nce of negoti.ttions now in progre, , fur a more extensive ani friendly interchange of traffic. " Tne directors have been informed that the East and West India Docks end Birmingham Junction Itai!way Company hare obtained the requisite certificate from the Ci , mraistioners cf . s kr the opening of the t an irnmedidte inerea:e of trbtfia will, therefore, be derive o:n ihii source." The auditors' report wns read, from which it ap peared that they a cre s.itiAed with the Dtne of the accounts. The Cu:us:wee, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that he and his brother directors would have wish?cl that a larger balance, should have been shown than appeared by the report, but it must be remembered that this was what was termed their winter or bad helf-year, during which it was not usual to rn,ke a dividend. The directors had done all they could ; it must be recol lected that they had had a difficult task to perform. They had had the North K-nt line to contend with, and yet they had increased their traffic rather than diminished it. lie was rot one who liked to hold out delusive hopes, but he thought they had now arrived at a point at which the hopes of the directors had been almost realised.—(Hear, hear) Their line to Bow had not yet been opened, but the Dock line to Islington was ready to open, but had not yet been put in traffic. When the Dock Junction Line was opened, the traffic on that line would be all profit to the com pany.—(Hear, hear.) lie was 1 appy also to say that the direeters were now in cordial communication with the Eastern Counties Company, and there was every prospect of a quantity of traffic of two descriptions on the line from that source that would be no cost to the company.—(Hear, hear) The preliminaries of an agreement with the London and North Western had been agreed upon, by which a considerable quan tity of goods traffic would be brought on the Hee.— (Ilear, hear) T, ey were assured to a certain amount, and the directors calculated that bete een 4,0001. Lnd 5,0001. a year net would be insured to the company by the goods traffic which the London and North-Western Company would bring on their line. Of course it would be neces try to have a special meeting to ratify the arrangement, but the preliinineries were agreed upon, and it trfght be considered as settled. They had also good reason to x i ,ect an increase of traffic from the Eastern Counties— (lleur) —hut they were certain of a goods traffic trom the London and North-Western, which would bring them in an in ceme of 5,0001. Their passereeer traffic generally had increased, and notwi'h , tanding the competition of the North Kent line, they were carrying as tn• Any passengers to Gravesend as they were last I ear. — (Hear, hear.) There was a small balance in hand, sod if the proprietors wished it it must be divided.— (Cries of " No, no.") The Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. In answer to a question from a Proprietor, the CHAIRMAN denied that the same offer had not been made to all the steam-boats. The directors had of fered to book through for all the steam boats, at a certain price, but the Diamond Company had other interests, and refused to adopt these terms. He trusted, which he had never stated before, that this was the last time that they would appear at their half yearly meeting without declaring a dividend. After a variety of questions had been put to the Chairman, and satisfactorily answered by him, and after also a lengthened discussion, the report w as adopted. Iu the course of the discussion it was de clared by the chairman and Mr. Tite that the arches of the railroad were as sound as ever they were, and that they had been declared to be so by the Govern ment inspector. A vote of thanks having I;een unanimously carried to the chairman and directors, an- the Chairman hav ing returned thank., the meeting separated. THE LEGITIIVIATIST CONGRESS AT WIESBADEN. The Opinion Publique publishes the following from Wiesbaden, 21st inst. :—" The influx of visitors con-- tinues, _and you will not be surprised when I t e ll y ou that Me:z has sent twenty-five delegates ; that Picardy, Franche-Comte, Lorraine, Lower Brit tany, the Haute Garonne, &c., have also furnished deputations. There is here a centre of attraction, which acts on every point in France. At the dinner given to the Parisian deputation there were seventy at table. On one side was the Marquis d'Epi nay Saint Luc ; opposite the Count de Lsaferonnays, at one end of the table the Prince de Montmorency Robecq, and in the midst of the pell-mell of political confraternity MM. the Marquis Duplessi&..-Belliere, Barthel+ my Sauvaire, j un., De Roug6, &c., placed here and there among the workmen. The table, which was of a loNe.o/tlMm, was laid out in the charrninggallery on ( gram outid'fibbt pf AbAhotel. At the dessert the Prince -.epees Fl'dpis,-,Arill rose. He made the round cf A lffe,44le-f- urfifiehi the middle he asked for a sotrichlie- filled; and, with a deep and vibrating C;voict'o, Aiitt. ‘,.:.ienitlefr n, I give you as a toast : To knee--toxnr4ii,er ntry l' I need mot tell you with *hat enthusoisiut... as received. It came from, the befit, and ill ear& t 8 responded to it ; as our good and Attett4JActt de Fiti.junes taid, ' In spite of all, France is always great France'—she bas come out, and she will come out again from those momentary eclipses which shade ber rays without extinguishing them. This cry To France!' long resounded—every breast was heaving, every eye was moistened. By degrees silence was restored, when one of us demanded permission to reply to the toast, and you may easily divine whose health was given. Our hearts palpitated in our voices, and all our arms were extended towards him ; the Prince was deeply affected, and we all felt the same emotion. He addressed some kind and cordial words to his guests and then retired, and the company soon atter broke up. The brave workmen who were pre- Sent each took away with him the glass in which he had drank to the health of the Prince. They hoped that Providence and France would one day allow them to drink to the health of the Count de Cham bord in the country of his ancestors, and they therefore desired to provide themselves with their glasses."—The same journal adds, un der date of 10 o'clock Saturday evening : —" We have just seen one of the delegates of the deputation of the workmen who arrived in Paris from Wiesbaden during the day. He confirms all the details which we have given above. The three delegates cf the Parisian population fixed on by that deputation to be received in a private audience by Henry of France were Al. Petit, a pasteboard-box maker, M. Mathias, a saddler, and M. Salat, an employe. The three delegates had a long con versation with the Count de Chambord on the situation of the working classes, and the Prince himself treated the question in a manner that showed he had deeply studied. He spoke with the greatest emotion of the women and young girls who were exposed by their misery to fall into snares laid for them, and pointed out institutions which might be established for their assistance. He entered with great feeling into the situation of the workmen who were prevented from earning their bread honestly from want of employment. He also spoke of the means which might be adopted to give em ployment to, liberated convicts, and to bring them back to the paths of honesty. He left the three dele gates deeply impressed with gratitude for the solici tude evinced towards the working classes. We asked M. Sale, one of the three delegates, whether, accord. ing to the version of the Siicle, there was any one present at their interview with the Prince, and he re plied in the negative. In all the private audiences the Count de Chambord was always alone." A complete rupture has taken place between the Ilerryer and the La Rochejaquelin sections of the Legitimatists. It is thus described in the Ordre : "M. de Larochejsquelin, whose monarchical devoted ness does not exclude a certain republican frankness, and who has a strong feeling of his personal value, showed a pretension to play a principal part. After the arrival of the Prince he held a second rank. Apartmentt; had been reserved by order of the Count do Chambord in the Hotel Durringer for M. Berryer and several other leading mem bers of the Legitimatist party, but M. deLarochejaquelin was overlooked. This gentleman afterwards wished,with out waiting for the advice or the convenience of the Count de Chambord, to proceed to prescribe the conduct which the Legittmatist party should adopt. He was given to understand that he showed himself too impatient. A short time alter the Count de Chambord formed a s, rt of privy council, with whom he proceeded in lung and private conferences to that examination on which M. de Ltiroch(jsquelin pretended prematurely to bring on a discussion, This privy c,uncil was cem voted of M. Berryer, General de Saint Priest, M. de Vatimesnil, M. Benoist d'Azy, and the Duke de Noailles. M. de Larochejaquelin did nut firm a part of it. Th4t gentleman was deeply hurt at this exclusion, and abruptly left Wiest) Wen, without taking leavo of the Prince. After his departure, the Count de Chambor said before several persons, 'I regret for M. de La• rocqej•Aquelin's sake that he Las left in this manner.' I have dwelt on these facts because they explain the state of tnings declared by the Glint de Cbauab rd. The Prince has loudly declared himself, both by his acts and by his words, in favour of tee prudent, circumspect, and conciliatory polity of M. Berryer, and against the azgrssive one of M. de Larochv jaquelin, and the Gazette de France. Conrrire to the opinion of the ultra- Legiticeattsts, the persons engaged . in the conferences at Wiesl - a - len asserted that hcfore all it was necessary to defend and save material ()H ()Her. It was to that work that, for the last two years, Mrsl. Berryer, de Vatimes nil, and Benoist d'Azv have devoted themselves, and their conduct has met with the entire approbation of the Count de Chambord.'" THE I'I'AL Y. A letter from Naples of the 14th inst. says, " You have read the account of the Italian flogs which have been hoisted in several places of Sicily, but you are doubtless not aware that political demonstra tions have been made at Coz'nza, Potenzl, and other places in Calabria. In the first of these towns abaut fifty young men assembled, crying, ' Long live the Constitution and the King !" Others sncn joined them, and thus formed an imposing mass. The troops then were ordered out, and made several arrests, but the most singular part of the affair is, that Nunziante, informed of the affair, ordered the pri soners to be set at liberty, saying that the cry of " Long live the Constitution !" was not an offence. TUItKI Y. Letters from Trieste of the 18:h inst., in the Al/gemeine Zdiung state, that the last advices from Bulgaria grinounce the complote pacification of that province. Ali Rizi Pasha, whom the Most High Porte comm:ssioned eiter to subdue or to satisfy the mal contents of Bulgaria, assembled the chiefs of the country round him ; he listened to their complaints, and he assured them that the just wishes of the na tion should have a mature consideration. He advised them to send a deputation of trustworthy men to Constantinople. Tnese pacific measures told upon the insurgents, who disbanded and returned to their homes. From Bosnia we learn that Omer Pasha and his army are still at Seraj -ro, where he expects a rein forcement of throe divisions, which are to be quar tered at Mostar, Niksitsh, and Trebigne. The inha bitants of the Herzogovina have petitioned against this extraordinary concentration of troops, and the population (both Christians and Turks) are preparing to oppose their entry into the u,untry.

A very cursory study of the natural history of society might assure us that it has a political economy of' its own, which requires no help from human legishnion, which is only hindered and bur: by artificial laws, which inheres, indeed, in human instincts, and is above and be yond our reason, or " the fantastic tricks, which man, most ignorant of what he's most assured, plays before high heaven." When the Freach merchants answered Colbert's offer of help by King's orders, or promulga tion of ordinances, with the entreaty, " Let us alone," they enunciated one ef the most subtle and significant of truths. The doctrine of Free Trade is, in a word, only " Let us alone." "No Corn Laws" means merely no meddling with buyers and sellers. Open and unre stricted navigation is but a convertible term for the as sertion, ' We understand our own interest better than rulers can administer it for us." These are truths which will bend to no exigencies of sate. Justice and right are, heaven be thanked, ieflaxil le, inexorable, relentless. Violate them. offend them, and they will " have the due and forfeit of their bond, till it is paid according to the tenor." It is in vain that men plead on behalf of psi mogeniture and entail, that "a tt rritorial aristocracy is part of the Constitutional policy a this kingdom." What does nature care for Constitut'ona or polices? What signifies De Lolme, Runnymede, Magna Charts, or the glorious Rev: 'mien of 1688, to truth, right, human instinct, and the elementary tendenc:es of so clot) ? What if the Grand Jury of reason and justice, sitting in Heaven's retributive Chancery, should ignore all those fine Bills of ours—send them back as trumpery and rubbish—say "Hang 3 - our precious British Consti tution—who the devil is Blackstone or Pitt, or Macau lay, that they should expect us to interrupt or reverse the wbote decrees of . Providence t o su i t t h e i r mo d e l Constitutiens? The ingenuity of nitre human apehood mar self-magn!fy its sagacity on the invention for fat mime a few pigs called squires and Peers, and starving and grinding all the rest by laws of feudalism, policy of privileged orders, or eldest sons—generally the fools of the family. But the elementary principles of soci. ty cannot sustain such a theory — away w i t h i t. If Mo narchy cannot otherwise live, then Monarchy will one day go away, let the whole world conspire to ru'e it otherwise." Not that sovereignty is incompatible with a simpler distribution of property. The small prop ie tary of Frarce are the Conservatives—it is they who murmur " Vire l'Empereur!" as the President passes them—it is they who have quashed by the ballot-box the Red Republicans. It is they who, in the United States, are the back-bone of authority, and the staff and stay of legal power. We ourselves begin to discern the danger of concentrating the tenure or occupation of our soil in a daily contracting number of hands. We see that it drives the mass of our population into a state of de pendence upon trade and manufactures, the most pre carious, dependent, and fluctuating of all sources of em ployment. We begin to be alive to the ominous signifi cancy of the fact, that the proportion of the number of cur people living by wages and salaries doled out by capia talists to thetn dailyincreases, and that thatof the master, or self dependent class, hourly becomes less. Mr. Locke King, has ably handled the question in Parliament. A powerful association has been established in Scotland, where the operation of the large estate and firm system has most extravagantly developed itself and run to seed. At the beginning of the Year the work entitled " The Naot her Country ; or, the Spade, the Wastes, and the Eldest Son," presented a collection and digest ut the literature aid facts of the subject. M. Passy's work on small tarns followed. Mr. Laing has again returned to the question by a contribution of new and very valuable illustrations of the views he originally enunciated, Mr. Mil, in the more recent editions of his invaluable work, has largely added to the evi fence and reasoning by which he ori ginally advocated his sound and striking views; and now Mr. Kay, finding that the distribution of property and the laws regulating succession, lie at the root of all na tional culture, has devoted the chief, and certainly the most interesting portion of his treatise on National Edu cation to the demonstration of the obstructions offered to the development of human virtue, and to the healthy progress of society, by those extant barbarisms of a feudal age which time has aggravated in place of miti gating, and which, according to his authority, found 250,000 freehold estates in the hands of single families in 1770, and had, in 1815, with population doubled, re duced the landed proprietary to 32,000, or to about one eighth of the former number, in the lace of a large in crease of the cultivated land, and the enclosure of mil lions of acres of waste and common in the interval. As the sale of encumbered estates in small lots to resident yeo men and smaligentry is gradually forming an independent and intelligent constituency for the sister kingdom, who will send, rot crazy demagogues or venal parasites to Parliament, but statesmen and patriots from Island, so if Britain would nit fall behind her sister in the pro gress of trite civilization, she must, especially when Free Trade presses so hardly on rent and averages, demand to be emancipated from the shackles of feudal iem, and to be suffered " to do what she likes with her own," without asking the charnel-house;or set king leave from the dead. Why should he " who died o'.Wednesday" dictate to us now how we shall live? What has he now to do with earth but to be buried in it? " May not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander till he find it stopping a bung-hole?" and, if that is all tba'. nature and Providence make of him, shall we resign the inheritance of this goodly frame of things, and leave the possession of this fair earth to the arbitrament of the parchments of dead men's charter chests? Let us hope that the world has grown wiser if statesmen have not, and that society will rise up, and, with one voice, protest against the further sufferance of the operation of primogeniture and entail.

(From the ittceh,'y Dispatch.) We have been driven back to our former meditations upon the aubject of the inveterately feudal spirit of our legislation by the gossiping curiosity of the public, end the alacrity with which it has been supplied with the pfsbuiuna of its prurient wonder by the gentlemen who make themselves omniscient on a penny a line, and om nipresent in the way of business. Society at large has, legitimately, nothing to do with the will, legacies, or property of Sir Robert Peel, except, perhaps, to ascer tain, as it is about to erect a monument to his memory, that he bat incurred no debts which he had not means to arswer, and that the means were his own, not those f the nation. Of all his numerous relatives and con• flexions by blood or marriage, we know of not one quartered on the public. A colonel and a captain or two of the Lame paid hard cash for their commissions and steps; but, as if resolved to have nothing to thank his country fir, and to leave her his debtor in every thing, he spent upon her welfare out of his private means ten times the.amount of his official salary, and probably only accepted that, not to orignate a precedent to the injury cf poorer statesmen. But every act of that man was a lesson from which all might derive instruction. He would have no public funeral—not even an ostenta tious private one. He would accept of no titles—he prohibited his family from deserting their own order to stick the tinsel of nobility upon the sterling gold of his simpler, but truly greater class. We examine his will, as the Romans did Comes—we regret to say it has somewhat disappointed IP. Socrates, ere he quaffed the hemlock, sacrificed a cock to Esculapius; and Peel, at his departure from among us, seems to have directed an oblation to the political superstitiens of his nation. Throughout the testamentary disposition of his estate, there is a strong leaning to the magnification of the eldest son, and an equally marked preference fur en riching his sons. to a degree totally disproportioned to the comparatively moderate provision made for his daughters. This document, which may strictly become historical, is dated in 1842, before his cinversion to Free Trade principles. The tendency of his later measures we need scarcely say was totally destructive of a feudal policy. His more recent speeches, as well, indeed, as those of Lord John Russell, express the gravest doubts of the truth of the assertion, thitherto treated by Whig economists as a truism, that small holdings were inju rious either to the progress of agriculture or to the prosperity of society. A reaction from the economical gospel according to Mecculloch is steadily setting in. The Encumbered Estates Ireland Bill is effectuating a practical agrarian law for the whole cf the sister kios;dom. A wretched, face-ground, and hunger bittena tipdaitorriCeltic tenantry are clearing out fir America by l the remittanc br e ee s elao o mti f v ' ee t sb h , : or ir dre rn anrs o e r u e pc f loc o na rt r : hd n e a p t o e uu , bt l ib e i ia rd i a l : s tse e :sr e .a s it r ß l i i n e ug r t these proprietors are themselves being stripped of their borrowed leath ers b y f orec l osures, and the newer process devised by the rceor.t legislation of the law officers of th, Cross's'.

Freeholds of all "to suit int, riding purchasers" are daily offered in the market at prices which enable a practical hthbsud wan to become a landowner with profit, and to clear his head of as future speculations about tenant-right, and the myth called the law of Ulster. Out of the dry dead trunk of Irish ruin is coming the g reen wood o f rege neration and rejuvenefcerce. It is even our believe that from these facts is to be drawn a more confirmed hope of the ultimate and even early dawn cf the brighter days of a secoud Ithty . ybutfi for Ireland, than We dare yen tuft to expect in the case of England and Scotland. It is only by an application of the same remedy that we can Lic: Ige the anticipation cf any genuine improvcalent George and Alexander Meehan, ttsorespretable look ing brothers, were brought up before Mr. Llimmill, charged with disorderly . conduct, and obst ruc ti ng t h e fficers of the Eastern Counties Railway, under the fol lowing circumstances Stephen Badgery, inspector of the railway police, and Molloy, a metropolitan constable of the Li division, stated —the former, that while on duty on the departure plat orm at half-past two o'clock that afternoon, just as one of the Stratford trains was proceeding on its journey and had g it clear of the station, the prisoner George Meehan ran down the platform on to the line t f rails, and open ing one of the carriage doors, attempt e d to f orce hi s wa y inside.

The prisoner's gross misconduct exposed them ell to the greatest danger, as the passenger train WAS going at l east at t h e rate o f tour miles an hour, a goods train, which had just come in, was standing en the line of rails to which she passenger train bad to be shifted, and but for its being signaled to the engine-driver of the latter to stop his train, the in terval between the two was so trifling, they must some of them have been forced off the step between the car riages and trucks, and most probsbly crushed to death. Molloy gave a similar account of the transaction, and added that his posiiion,was 53 perilous that it was only with the greatest difficulty he had sav e d hi mse lf f rom injury. The or some very serious The first prisoner denied having struck the officer as described, and Alexander said th at h o was not . aware there was no room the carriage or he would not have attempted to enter it himself or help his brother in, which was the only part that he had taken in the matter. Mr. Hemm.L commented upon the o u t rageous nature of the conduct displayed by the prisoner George Meehan, and, having ordered Alexander to be discharged, sen tenced the former, under the provisions of one of the company's by-laws, to pay a penalty of 405., or in de fault to stand committed to the House of Correction for three weeks, for resisting the inspector in the exe cution of his duty, and then to undergo a further term of a fortnight's imprisonment for his attack upon the constable.

SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUG UST 27, 1850. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SHEFFIELD, ROTHERHAM, BARNSLEY, WAKE- FIELD, 'HUDDERSFIELD, AND GOOLE. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Wakefield yesterday. Mr. E. B. Beaumont, the chairman of the board, presided. The line is leased to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company at five per cent. in perpetuity, with half surplus profits. The re port stated that the total cost of the railway would not exceed 3,2531. over the amount of the rent guaranteed by the lessees. The liabilities had been reduced to 16,0001. The rent from the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company would be payable on the Ist of Sep tember, and the dividend warrants would be issued imme diately afterwards. Two directors had been nominated to seats at the Lancashire and Yorkshire board, who would act without remuneration. The statement of accounts rave the following results:—Total receipts up to tho 301 h of June, on the guaranteed stock, 256,071/ 16s. 3d., which sum had all been expended except 352/. Bs. 2d., which remains in the banker's hand. The receipts on the shares for the southern division of the line, which is not guaranteed, amount to 69,7871. 7s. 7d., and dis bursements to 66,3521. 188. Bd., the balance in hand being 3,434/. 9s. 4d. The CHAIRMAN said he had great confidence that the line would eventually yield more than 5 per cent.; and after alluding to the various matters in the report, he moved its adoption, which was carried. The dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent., was also agreed to, and af.er acme discussion the meeting sei a rat..d. ways displayed in the views I have been called upon to express in reference to the structures; without this con fidence the task would have proved much more difficult than it has proved; but I assure you the value of this confidence is much enhanced in my estimation by the fact that you gave it when the balance of opinion was de cidedly against me." CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD. The following report, will be submitted on Friday next, at the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders • ... "It ail' be in the recollection of the shareholders that at the last half-yearly meeting your directors obtained their approval of a 13111 authorising this company to lease their line to the London and North-Western Rail way Company, or to make other arrangements with that company for its working. They hoped that long befure this time they should have been placed is a position to convene a special meeting, to which, after receiving the formal sanction of the measure required by the House of Lords, it would have been their duty to submit the plans by which the scheme then contemplated might, in the judgment of the directors, be most beneficially carried into execution. They regret that they must now an nounce to you that these expectations have been entirely frustrated. " Parties haying interests at variance with those of the London and North-Western Company, and seeking to encroach upon its traffic, took occasion, from the pro motion of the Bill in question by this company, to urge upon the Committee of the House of Commons the intro duction of a clause giving to those parties powers and pri vileges quite incompatible with any practicable arrange ment between this company and the London and North- Western for the completion or working of the line; and, in spite of the earnest remonstrances of your directors, they succeeded in effecting that object. The House, how. ever, threw out the clause, and when the same . parties made an attempt to reinstate it, it was again rejected. But the same short sighted hostility pursued the Bill before the Committee of the House of Lords, although it was certain that with such a clause the Bill would be valueless for any public or private object, because the London and North-Western Company would refuse an alliance coupled with the conditions imposed; and the issue proving unfavourable, the me isure has been ne ce3sarily abandoned, to the serious detriment of your interests, and without a particle of benefit to the parties whose opposition to the London and North- Western Company led them to strike at that body through this company. _ _ •' the; result is a matter of deep regret to your dim tors. Their best hopes of improving your posizion were founded on the possibility of combining your interests with those of the London and North-Western Company, and of rendering it safe and profitable f.q. that power ful body to aid in extricating you from your embarrass ments. But your directors could not, of course, expect that that company would undertake so arduous a task, under the additional pressure of an Act of Parliament, which proposed to deprive them, in favour of a third party altogether without rightful claim, of a large share of the legitimate advantage of the projected en terprise. _ _ Nor is this the only disappointment which your di rectors have experienced. In March last you were ap prised that they were in communication with her Ma jesty's Government, having for their object such assist ance as would enable the company to complete the un dertaking at the earliest reriod;' and they continued their endeavours to this end until a very recent date. They urged upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with all the force which they felt to be warranted by the justice of the case, their claim to temporary aid from the public press, on the ground-Ist, that the contract for the mails having been granted to the company, be fore it broke ground in its works, for the avowed reason that the traffic was insufficient in itself to afford recom pense for so great an undertaking, the loss in that re spect resulting from the vi-itation which had desolated Ireland ought not to be thrown exclu,ively on the com pany, without any contribution from the Government, so greatly benefitted by the opening of such an import line of communication; and, 2dly, that the peremptory requisition of the Admiralty, backed by a Parliamentary Committee, in regard to the mode of crossing the Menai Straits, having imposed on the company an additional and unlooked-for expense of nearly halt a million ster ling, it was equitable that the Government, thus re lieved from all share of the cost necessary ti recoucile two public objtcts (to wit, the free navigation of the straits, and the continuous line of railway from London to St. George's Chancel), should afford some assistlnee, by way of a loan, to enable the company to complete its works, in order to its reimburseMent. "Your directors are sorry to state that, whilst they have been personally treated with every consideration and courtesy, the Government has refused to entertain these reasonable and moderate claims for a contribution in the shape of mere temporary aid, althoueh it was shown in the clearest manner that no risk could be in volved in the transaction. The only concession msde to the company—at the same time that i!s success in over coming not merely the vast natural difficulties of the un dertaking. but the impediment thrown in its way by a public department, was used by the Prime Minister as a cogent argument for the abolition of the Lord• Lieut enant of Ireland—has been the abandonment by the Go vernment of its claim for a contribution of 200,0001 to wards the new harbour at Holyhead. The directors feel, however, that such a demand for a contribution to a public refuge harbour is one which never ought to have been made. In the same spirit c.f inditft rencu to the difficulties of a company eng eged in camiog out an en terprise of pre-eminent public importance, the contract for the performance of the mail service between Holy head and Kiegstown was given to parties who have a direct interest in diverting the traffic to the route by way of Liverpool. And this was done notwith standing that a Select Committee of the House cf Com• mono, of which the lamented Sir Robert lisel was chair man, after considering the question whether this com• piny should be permitted to own steam-boat., had ex pressed a deliberate opinion with respect to the advan tage of placing the management and control of the whole line between London end Dublin in the hands of a single party. " Under the heavy discouragenaents briefly described in the foregoing paragraphs, endiabourieg constantly under the pressure of the pecuniary difficulties with which the company has had to struggle, your directors have exerted themselves to the beat of their ability to accomplish, at the earliest possible date, such a comple tion of the line as may fit it fir general purposes of use fulness. In furtherance of this end, the last tube of the Britannia Bridge has been raised to its intended place; and your directors hope that that wonderful structure will be filially completed during the month of October nest. "In their last report, your directors stated their in tention to open a separate revenue account from the lit of January last. That course has been taken, and the net proceeds have been applied towards the payment of the half-y ear's interest on debentures due on the 10th of July last, which, amounting to 24,5491. 10s. 5d., haves a balance of 8,5211. 16s, 7d. chargeable against the earnings of the current halt year. " The proprietors will observe that the gross traffic of the six months under review has yielded a return of 38,6521. 3s. 3d. contrasted with 31,983/ Bs. Id (irre spective of the mails in both cases), earned during the same period of 1849; and your directors are using all the means et their command so to increase their power of meeting the demand for accommodation for minerals as to afford all the desired encouragement to that im portant branch of business. As an instance in point, they are now engaged in arranging for the construction by private parties of several sidings and short branches, for the purpose of bringing upon the line the produce of adjacent quarries and the like, with the stipulation that the expense of the work shall be repaid to the construc tors from the proceeds of the toll. A resolution will be submitted for your approval, giving your sanction to ar rangements of this description, which cannot but con duce to the advantage of this company. " The attention of your directors has been earnestly given to the cost of working the line and its adjuncts, with a view to every practicable and prudent reduction of expenditure, in respect especially to the packet service; and they have now so organized the system of managing the steam-boats that they have good reason to expect that, taking into account the rarnings of those vessels, and of the express trains to which they are exclusively attache:l, and which would be useless without them, the proceeds will more than counterbalance the expenditure. It may be added that, finding the payments on account of insurance to be ex tremely heavy, amounting in the aggregate to 6 497, from the Ist August, 1848, your directors are of opinion that it will be expedient that the company should become the insurer of its own steam-boats, setting aside a certain sum annually to cover the risk of loss, and they request your sanction accordingly. " The arrears of calls due at the last half-yearly meet ing amounted to 40,6661. 103., since which 2,8161. 103. has been received. Your directors have declared the forfeiture of 65 shares, which requires the confirmation of the present meeting." The report of the engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, says— " It affords me very great satisfaction to report to you that the whole of the tubes of the Britannia Bridge are now safely deposited in their final positions. Nothing now remains to be done but to complete the junctions between those composing the second line. " A fortnight will finish the junctions in the Britannia Tower; three weeks more will complete the junction with the Carnarvun email tutee; and by the end of Octo ber I have no doubt all the remaining preparations for the opening of the second line will be broupat to a satis• factory conclu-lon. " this will probably be the last report I shall have the honour of addressing to you in reference to the works ot the Holy head Railway, I deem it only proper, ef, er sereral years of intense anxiety respecting the Conway and Britannia Bridges, to return you my sin cere thanks for the unwavering confidence you We al- EAST INDIAN. The report of the directors, to be s ubmitted to the proprietors on Thursday nest, says— " Mr. Stephenson, the managing director, and Mr. George Turubull, the resident engineer-in -chief, em barked for India on the 20th of March last, arcving at Calcutta the latter end of April. " The directors have received a very interesting report from Mr. Turnbull as to the line of railway which, in his opinion, should be first constructed; and the directors have the gratification to state that the report entirely confirms the views already taken by the board on this question. " The board understand that the Government engi neer has also made a report to the Government of India on the same subject, and that the views of this officer and of Mr. Turnbull, upon all essential matters, are in per fect harmony. " The board further understand that the report of the Government engineer has been forwarded by the Legis lative Council of India to his Excellency the Governor- General for sanction. In the meantime Mr. Stephenson has received, through his Excellency's Secretary, his Lordship's assurance that his best and constant attention will be given to the undertaking, and that he entertains an anxious desire to feciUtate, by every means at his command, the operations of the East India Railway Company, and to secure the successful conduct of an en terprise in which both the Government and the share holders have so great an interest.' `• Pending his Lordship's decision, the board consider that it would be premature to print Mr. Turnbull's re port, but it is open for the inspection of any shareholder who may wish to see it. "The statemcmti which have appeared in some portion of the Indian press, and thence copied into the home journals, , announcing the abandonment of the under taking, are totally untrue. " The directors think it right to correct a misappre hension which has been industriously circulated, to the effect 'that the capital of the company is limited to 1,000,000/ sterling; and that, in consequence of such limitation, and of certain proposed details of construc tion, the experimental line to be laid down by this com pany must terminate at such a point as to prevent its being remunerative.' The line first to be made is to be a fair experiment, and is to be carried to such a desirable point as, in the opinion of the Government of India, will render it sure of being so. If the million of capital be insufficient for this object, new capital is to be raised under the guarantee of the East India Company, on pre cisely similar terms as the original capital. " In a return presented to the House of Commons, in July last, on the subject of Railway Communication in India,' is a copy of a dispatch addressed by the Court of Directors of the Supreme Government of India, on the subject of the contracts between the East India Company and the railway companies, and contains, in explanation of this particular point, the follotving extract:— " Clause 17 provides for the excess of capital which may be required above the respective sums of 500,000/. and 1,000,000/., in order to complete the exact length of line which may be determined upon. In the first place, our guarantee extends only to those sums, but as it is impas,ible exactly to define the cost of the under taking beforehand, and more especially as in neither case is the exact route fixed, and in the case of the East Indian Railway the point of its termination is not even fixed, it- was necessary tbat some provision should be made for any margin either of excess or deficiency of ca pital necessary to complete these experiments. In the ease of the Great Indian Peninsular Company, the two points of Bombay and Callyan are determined, but in the case of the East Indian Railway, the starting pint (Cal cutta) only is fixed. Yon will not only have to deter mine the exact route of this line, but also the point to which it would be most expedient, with a view to a lair trial of the experiment, it should he carried, always hav ing reference to the sum which is contemplated to be expended. And you will have to determine, in the event of the sum mentioned is the contract (1,000,0000 appearing sufficient only to bring the line to some inter mediate point, at whit:hit would be - undesirable to stop, whether you will make your terminus at a nearer or more distant point, and to that extent increase or de crease the capital as the case may be, and the surplus or deficiency will be dealt with as provided for iu the 17th and 27th clauses of the contract. In the one case, the capital will be increased on the same terms as the original capital; in the other case, the excess will be retarned to the shareholders.' Urn a requisition from Mr. Turnbull, tho board, with the sanction of the East India Company, have sent out by the steamer of the 20th of the present month three additional engineers, and have authorised the ap pointment of a fourth on the spot. The services of these gentlemen will, therefore, be available at the commence ment of the ensuing cold season in India. " The board adopt this medium of acknowledging and communicating to the shareh, lders the liberality of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company in reducing the passage money of the etigiLeers and others who have proceeded to India in the service of the company. " The accounts are made up annually, and, c:mse que.ritly, are not submitted at the half-yearly meeting; but it will be satisfactory to the proprietary to know that the interest guaranteed by the EnF.t India Company is now accruing upon the sum of 354,56 n. 55., being the amount paid into the tr( usury in 1., , ,nd , )n up to the 30th June last, and upon 2,4241 ls. , the amount raid into the Government treasury at Madras. "Pending negotiations for carrying out the details of the contract in India, the company's funds in Calcutta were invested in Government loans. The lust mail brings intelligence of arrangements having been con cluded with the Government for the ttans'er of these Rinds to tl,e treasury, in accordance with the terms of the contract." EASTERN UNION. The report of the directors, to be submitted to the shareholders at the half-yearly meetieg on Friday, states that the net revenue of the company, which amounted, at the corresponding period of 1849, to 9,9261, has grate on increasing, and now, in the least favourable hal year of 1850, amounts to 26,5021. The directors concur entire's , in the belief expressed by Messrs. Webb and Head, the auditors, that the shareholders during the current half-sear may look forward to a further een siderable inert ase of revenue. The liquidation of the liabilities, which are the main causes of the preference stacks being at a discount, demands the earliest consi deration of the directors. The proprietary, if they are united in a resolution t) clear away the outstanding debts, might do it, not, only without any sacrifice what ever, but with a certainty of raising every portion of the company's stock. The Act which passed in the late ses sion has enlarged the time for making the Harwich line; and the Eastern Counties Company havine admitted that it would b.:: a great advantage to chi inselves as well as to the public, and having shown a willingr ess to co-ope rate with this company to insure its construction, the di rectors hope, before they:need expend any further money upon the undertaking, that the arrangement of 1846 may be etitered into between the two companies to pro tect the shareholders from any unremunerative outlay in carrying a hue into Harwich. The directors have referred all unsettled professional accounts to Mr. Dax, the senior Taxing-Master of the Court c f Ex chequer. They trust it will be a means of reducing some of the demands against the company. With a view to stimulate the local traffic, several excursion trains are now running and carrying great numbers of the inhabitants of Norwich, Bury St. Edmund's, and the vicinities towards Harwich, and of those of Colches ter, Ipswich, and Bury, through Norwich to Yarmouth. This traffic, it is belt( ved, will tend to improve the present halo-year's revenue. The report of Mr. P. Bruff, the engineer, states that the working expenses continue to diminish, being now 2681., per mile, or 49 per cent. upon the receipt , . The rolling stock, permanent way, and works continue to be maintained in excellent condi tion. The Trowse branch to connect the E 'stern Union line with the Norfolk line at Norwich will undoubtedly be of great service in facilitating and economising the traffic arrangements of both companies; the estimate of cost including land and every expense is 16,000/. The line is set out, and the works can be commenced forthwith upon the land being given up to the contractor. The au ditors state in their report that the liabilities of the company are in course of reduction, and they see no reason why the whole amount should not be easily c'e frayed from the powers possessed by the company; that it would greatly improve the value of the whole stock of the company if the preference and ordinary share holders were to go-operate in assisting the directors in some scheme by which the simple contract creditors of the company should be satisfied by the issue of the fur ther preference stock at a moderate late of interest, and the re-issue of debenture bonds as they fall due at a lower rate. The preference stock, as well as the ordi nary stock, would rot then fail to acquire an increased value, whilst the company would be placed in a sound and proper position. The capital account to the 30th of June last shows that 2,104, 640/. had been received, and 2,098,6381. expended, leaving a balance of 6,001/. Tbo company are authorised to raise 1,860,0001. on shares, and 620,000/. oft loans, total 2,480,0001. The amount of shares issue -I, and loans raised, is 2 ,115,979/., leaving powers to raise 364,0211 unexereised. The loan account shows that 523,5741. has been obtained on mortoge bonds, of which 56,600/. was borrowed at 6 per cent. per annum, 441,7681. at 5 per cent , 20 6551. at 41 per cent., and 4.550/. at 4 per cent. The amount falling due in 1850 is 221,7591., of which 198,553/. is at 5 per cent. The revenue account for the half-year ending June 30 states that 52.321/. had been received, and 25,575/. ex pended, including 880/. for Government duty, and 6161. rates and taxes, leaving a balance of 26,746/. to pay in terest on borrowed money, 12,395/.; on 6 per cent. stock 8,9361., interest on 10 per cent. stock, 2,2741.; rent to Stour Valley Company, 2,00/ ; rent to Stowwarket Navigation, 535/., and rent to Lark Navigation, 1861.; making together 26,327/, and leiivieg a balance of 4181, of which 183/. is appropriated to the renewal fund.
