Upon this occasion Hamlet was performed, the last time but one, it is stated, that it will ever be played with Mr. Macready as the representative of the reflective and sententious hero. This part is one of those that he has most frequently sustained, and few performances are better known or better es teemed. As on Monday night, Mr. Macready exhi bited no depreciation either of intellectual sugges tiveness or physical power, and he was applauded to the utmost by an audience of the highest respecta bility. The Laertes of Mr. Davenport, the Gertrude of Mrs. Warner, and the Ophelia of Miss P. Horton were embodiments of great merit, and the tragedy, taken as a whole, was very satisfactorily represented. The calls before the curtain extended to Mr. Macready and Mrs. Warner, and the enthusiasm was not less loud than hearty. BRIGHTON THEATRE. Miss Jane Bennett and Miss A. Kemble made their deblit on Tuesday last, in the play of The Hunchback. We were delighted with the Julia of the former young lady. It was a complete and refined conception of the character. From her quiet, unas suming manner in the opening scene, we were little prepared for the powers she afterwards displayed. In the interview with the Secretary, the struggle be tween pride and love was delicately, but most power fully portrayed. It was worthy of any actress now on the stage. Indeed, throughout the play, she was as perfect a representative of the character as any we have seen. Miss Bennett has a very pleasing and expressive face, a voice of much sweetne4s, and a most lady-like and graceful manner. Mr. Belcour is fortunate in securing so valuable an addition to his company, and we shall look for ward with pleasure to the opportunity of seeing this talented young actress in the whole round of her characters. She is the daughter of Mr. G. Bennett, a gentleman distin guished as a most finished actor, also as an author of great power and originality; in his latter capacity he has proved himself second to none of the present day by his admirable play of Retribution, which was pro duced last season at Sadler's Wells Theatre, since which time it has been played in all the principal theatres in England and America, with the most perfect success. We may here mention that it is stated in the New York papers that Mr. James Wal lack, jun. (who has returned to this country to fulfil an engagement at the Haymarket Theatre), created quite a furore in Blackbourn, a part played with most powerful effect by Mr. Phelps when Retribution was produced under his own manage ment. Miss A. Kemble was an efficient and animated Helen. In the scene with Modus, where she rails against " Ovid's art of love," she was loudly and deservedly applaude I ; she displayed great spirit, but never descended to coarseness. The other characters, were well sustained, and the play went off most triumphantly. OPENING OF THE ITALIAN OPERA IN PARIS. The Th("atre Italian will open on Saturday, the 9th November, with Bellini's opera of La Sonnambula, in which M. Cllzolari will perform the character of Elvino and Madame Sontag that of Amine. With regard to another of the artistes of this theatre, a cause was brought before the Tribunal de Commerce on Saturday last, under rather singular circumstances. M. Frey berg, director of the Italian Theatre of the lisenigstadt at Berlin, had come to Paris to contend with Mr. Lumley for a young and charming canta trice, who, under the name of Mme. Fiorentini, had appeared with much éclat at the close of the last season at her Majesty's Theatre in London. M. Freyberg estimated the loss he should sustain by being deprived of this young artiste's services at no less than 80,000 f., which he claimed as damages from Mr. Lumley. The tribunal decided that there was nothing in the facts of the case to support the de mand of M. Freyberg, and the claims of the Berlin director were non-suited, by which decision this young and brilliant singer remains attached to the Theatre Italien of Paris. THE DAVIS' STRAITS WHALE FISHERY.--The True Love and the Anne, of Hull, arrived at that port on Saturday last from Davis Straits. They bring no news later than that of the Ist of October, the particulars of which have already been published. The True Love has but three, and the Anne but two fish. The fishery has been very unsuc cessful, the ice having been too closely packed to allow the ships to penetrate into the parts most abounding with whales. It is estimated that the whole produce of the fish ing will not amount to one-half that of last season, although the ships engaged are only eight less in number than those employed in 1849. The other vessels belonging to Hull left the ice in company with the two just arrived; they are, therefore, on their way home. The True Love brings official dispatches from Captain Austin, Sir John Ross, and Commander Forsyth, which have been duly for warded to the Lords of the Admiralty, but which contain no information in respect to the missing voyagers. A LADY ORATOR.—The meeting of the Canford Estate Agricultural Show vas marked by the striking inci dent of a speech by the lady of the principal guest—in this instance the Baronet of that ilk, Sir John Guest. The Can ford estate is Sir John's property, and the "yearly agricul tural show" is described as " more correctly th e yearly en couragement given to his tenantry" by the liberal landlord, who subscribes nearly all the prizes offered for competition. The meeting was held on the `z2d, and Mr. Divett, M.P., (lid the chief honours of speech-making ; but after the prizes were awarded, Lady Guest rose from beside her husband, and said—" I am taking an unusual course, but I wish very much to propose to you a toast which lies near to my heart The prosperity of the labouring classes.' From a child I have had much experience of them. I passed some time with and lived among the mining classes ; and certainly a finer body of men does not exist anywhere than the mining classes. In my new home lam less acquainted, per haps, with poorer people; but I hope to be become more ac quainted with thorn day by day. My feelings are strongly in their favour, and I am sure they will be borne out by ex perience. There is no finer set of people anywhere than the labouring classes of this country. Look at France—look at Germany. You go into a cottage in England, and you see every attempt made to be as moral and decent as possible. Excuse me for making these remarks. To raise the condi tion and to expand the mind of the peasantry s h ou ld b e our aim ; for without those advances it is impossible that even the most experienced agriculturist can go on. Forgive me for trespassing thus unduly upon your time, and permit me to propose ' labouring classes'." At so unusu a l b ut so ad mirable an incident, the audience was extremely delighted, and the kind-hearted lady resumed her seat amidst deafening cheers.— Chester Courant. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDIN GS . OF T HE R OMAN CATHOLICS.— For the last few evenings the neighbourhoods of High-street and Union-street in the Borough have been kept in continual excitement owing to the extrao r di nary conduct of some Roman Catholic priests and their assi s t ants, which has naturally caused the gathering together of all th e refuse of the low courts and alleys with which this neigh bourhood abounds. On each evening during the week the windows of the respective occupants of the different rooms have been illuminated with candles, and a priest standi ng on a chair, dressed in canonicals, and having a crucifix held behind him, so as to give the interior of the court as near as possible the appearance of a Roman Catholic chapel during mass, has held forth to the surrounding multitudes on the doctrines and progress now said to be making in England of the Roman Catholic religion. The discourse has principally referred to the late assumption of spiritual power in this country by the heads of the Roman Catholic Church, deduc tions being drawn therefrom that the established religion of this realm will be shortly overthrown, and the Roman Catholic religion assume its place. The crowds gathered not only in the court, but in the streets at either end, hare caused serious obstructions to the neighbourhood, and it is some what astonishing that the police have not interfered to put an end to these exhibitions. PROPOSED PRIZE ESSAY.--A clergyman of the Church of England, with the approbation of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, proposes to give a prize or prizes of 100 guineas in amount for the best essay or essays on the following subject :-1n what manner the union of all na tions at the Grand Exhibition in 1851 may be made the most conducive to the glory of God in promoting the moral wellare of mankind. Last month a warrant was issued against an Eng lishman named I-lorward, alias Parker, alias Garker, 30 years of age. This individual, who was represented to be one of the most practised blacklegs, had lett his lodgings, and the warrant consequently could not be executed. On Saturday, however, some police agents suddenly met him in the Rue St. loch, and, wishing to ascertain his present f o llowed him as f ar as a h ouse in the R ue M ons i eur, he entered. On inq u i ry of the porter, t h ey f ound that he lived in the house, but ne t under any o f t h e names abode , t w l h : ha c hl entioned. On searching his apartments, the police agents found several passports in different names, a case of pistols, so me balls, a number of l e t ters , some l oa d e d di ce, marked cards, and a very ingenious machine for marking them. He was taken to the Prefecture.—Galignani. NEW MUSIC. SONGS OF A STUDENT. By Edward Francis Fitzwillianz. The Poetry selected from the works of Byron, Shelley, Coleridge, Leigh hunt, Bulwer Lytton, 6-c. 6-c. The Hsi: olsubscribers to this elegant volume, amounting to nearly a hundred in number, and in cluding among them some dozen or more of the most distinguished titles in our British aristocracy, bestows on the whole a larger amount of commendation on the merits of the work than the unknown critic could dream of effecting, even though applying to it all the eulogistic expressions a just admiration would suggest. Admitting this, we feel our province in the present case to he that of simple mention, rather than of cri ticism. The name of Fitzwilliam, moreover, is al ready too popular with th e d ramat i c an d musical world to require a noisy introduction. Suffice it to be said that Mr. Fitzwilliam is the son of the fasci nating actress who has for so many years attracted a London audienco, and brother to Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam, the accomplished pupil of one of our choicest English composers. The book opens with " The Ocean Pearl," the poetry translated from the Persian of Hafiz. The story of the pearl is a grecs fill conceit : a rain drop falls fi m a cloud into the sea, and, overcome with shame at her comparative insignificance, exclaims " Sure it were better that I die in this immensity !" A "shell," however, receives and welcomes it, and nourished there the " drop" b‘comea "a pearl for royal eyes." Fanciful as the idea is, Mr. Fitzwilliam has proved no less happily fanciful in his arrangement. There is no set melody to the song, but an appro priate alternation of the scherzo, " sotto" and "fuoco." "If while my Passion I impart," Coleridge's celebrated words (so full of love's enthusiasm), in the hands of the composer, are made more than ever famous. The melody is conceived in all advisable fervour and gusto, and hence we have a love ditty worthy of the days of Rizzio. The song is short, but, like a bon bon, is the sweeter for being condensed. "The Virgin's Cradle Hymn " forms an agreeable contrast to the preceding airs. The Latin words, " Dormi Jean I Mater ridet," &c., are purely devotional, and, to our thinking, infinitely better adapted for music than the translation, even though that t rans l a ti on b e the work of Coleridge. There is a poverty o f t one i n the latter that has fairly surprised us. Mr. Fitzwil liam has, in this little morceau (for it consists of only one verse), presented us with a no unworthy compa nion to that lovely cbaunt, the " Sicilian Mariner's Hymn." " 01),:Love me Less, or Love me More :" there is, perhaps, a more decided akin this song than in any the book contains. The soave accompaniment to a pe tition so expressive of tenderness and pa ss i on i s effectively select e d. It h as more simplicity of design in it than most of the others, and for this, as well as for the reason given above, it is likely to become more generally popular. " Come over the Wave with Me" is all grace and delicacy. The embellish ments are original, and wonderfully chara c t er i st i c. They seem to sp ar kl e w ith the " spray," and the "treasures of ocean," w hi c h form the burden o f th e song. "True Lo vbea, ballad a words each by J. B. . 13ucksto concludingne , Esq., is a with the charming lines with which th e song o pens : " The wide world, the wide world, Is all I have before me— But though my sky is overcast, Hope's light is shining o'er me." There are many others also of equal merit, but too numerous for notice. The concluding song, " Cham pagne," composed and arranged with unquestionable zest, is the beau ideal of the strain that should echo over the luxuries of the banquet,. and from the lips of the bon vivant. The People's Anthem—" God Save the People!" The Poetry by Ebenezer Elliott, the Music by W m . Thorold Wood. It is long since we heard a more striking, effective, or inspiring anthem than the above. The noble words with which it opens— " When wilt thou save the people ? Oh, God of mercy, when? Not kings arid lords, but nations, Not thrones and crowns, but men! Are given in chorus con gravita, and are solemnly religious in expression. The key throughout is that of B major, the time "simple common." " When wilt thou save the people" should become, as it is called, a national anthem. Gather ye Rose Buds while ye May. The Poetry by Herrick, the Music by W. Thorold Wood. The air of this delightful madrigal is as felicitously melodious as the title. It is one to hear and love the better at each repetition. The Sisters. Two Waltzes. By W. Thorold Wood. We give the preference to the first of these waltzes (the " - Caroline") ; perhaps because it is less compli cated than its companion, or because the " Camilla" is, so to speak, less faithful to the motivo. They are, however, both genuinely original, and contrast well together. We may say of the one we like it for its quaint steadfastness of character, and of the other we cannot help liking it in spite of its capriciousness.

The time is well marked, the airs are well sustained, lively, and adapted to the dance ; while they are, at the same time, neither too difficult fur the young, nor too simple for the proficient. The one will find no graver obstacle than an occasional double flat or sharp, while to the other they present scope for the display of touch, execution, and finish.

We know of few among the modern waltzes, since the best efforts of Johann Strauss, that would bear comparison with this brilliant composition. It is de cided in its character, arranged chiefly in octaves, and is, to our thinking, irresistibly inspiring. And this is saying not a little, considering we utter it not in the days of thestately at a premium, butin the goo d o l d year 1850, when, from the aristocratic at mosp h ere of " Almack's, " to pavane, w h en nove lt y was the democratic air of ",Cremorne," sweet airs are float ing past, new and sufficiently varied to eli c it the praise of individual listeners, be their taste what it may.

"I never said it was possible. I only said it was true." M. G. LEWIS. " Le vrai n'est past toujoursvraisemblable."— FONTILNILLE. Lord Stanhope having, in the first instance, sealed up two papers at my lodgings, during my absence from the room, cis:livered them to me on my return to it, inform ing me that one contained something written by a friend of his, the other something written by himself. I gave them that evening, while in my box at the opera, to two ladies of my party, who had often been placed by me in a state:of waking clairvoyance, and had read in nut-shells and boxes, but never in sealed packets. One of them, after I had made passes over the paper, said that the words (which she wrote in pencil), "Be• lieve not every spirit, but try* whether it be good," were written on it; and that after the last word of the sen tence, there was one which she could not make out — that it did not appear to belong to the sentence—that it began with a capital letter like a D. The other lady informed me that she could make out the following words only, but that there were others wlateh she could not. "If you j much good." She_ thought that the word berm en "you" and "this" was " read," but not feeling sure she would nit write it. On tie 4th, the Earl brought with him into my car- I riage two packets of motto nuts sealed up, informing me that he had purchased them in different shops, ono in Bruton street, the other in the Strand, and that they had not been touched by any person but himself since they were purchased. lie tools from OMR of the packets a nut, which, at my request, he marked with a We, nod gave it to a lady, who stated the words of the motto. His Lordship opened it and found the words were as stated. The same was done with three more nuts and with the like success. No passes were made over my face or over the nuts. We called on two more ladies, and found them in company with their mother and two military officers. The lady who had read in the carriage read three more while iu the house, without passes being made. One of the other ladies, three; the other, two. They required passes to be made over my face, as well as over the nuts, and all the nuts were previously marked, and afterwards opened, by Lord Stanhope. One of them was read while in his hand. One lady told us, before the out was opened, that it contained one perfect motto, excepting that part of the word " think" was wanting, and on the same paper one line and three words of a second line belonging to a second motto. All this proved correct. The following were read in the carriage:— " The sight of my fair, makes joyful my heart, 'Tis only when absent that I p feel any smart." "Aim to acquire talents, for they will last When thy present charms shall all be past." " Bless the hour, name the day, Haste to church without delay." "Your faults are odious in my sight, And ne'er can give my heart delight." The following in the house, taken from the second sealed packet by Earl Stanhope:— " Is there on earth a joy so great, Blest with a fond and faithful mate?" " A person with a wooden leg, Will come your favour soon beg." " In search of joy some cross the sea, I'm only happy when near thee." " Of all the pn ; .“B the greatest pain Is to low.; and love in vain." " Think not too much of form or grace, The mind's more noble than the face." " Let the hours be swiftly fleeting, Till they bring " Love, they say, on sweets reposes, And took your lips for his bed of roses." " Life is a bark o'er which dark fates eft hover, As a pilot sure let us take our lover." " Inere there is no sincerity, There cannot be infidelity." Old Bond-street, Aug. 6, 1850. VT. BUCKLEY. The above statement is perfectly correct. I must observe, that neither my friend nor myself was at the Opera when the above-mentioned papers were read.

Archdeacon Hale has addressed the following letter to the clergy of the Archdeaconry of London : " Reverend Brethren,—The illness which during the preceding week rendered me wholly unable to make a reply to a requisition which was forwarded to me to call a meeting of the clergy of the Archdea conry of London, necessarily prevents my attendance at the meeting of the Fellows of Sion College, which has been convened for Thursday next. lam thankful to be now sufficiently recovered to take this means of expressing my cordial approval of the general object of the proposed meeting, us well as my regret that I am precluded from taking part in its proceedings. These are indeed times in which every one who values the Protestant faith is bound to stand Up in its de fence, and no longer to conceal his alarm at the dangers which environ our Church and country from the establishment of the Papal jurisdiction in this king dom, and the announcementby a Papal bull that England is become an Archiepiscopal province of tiie:'See of Ron.e. Great as were the usurpations of the Popes of Rome upon the rights and liberties of England in the times prior to the Reformation, it may be doubted whether any act of the Popes ever surpassed in violence that of which the present Pope has been guilty in annihi lating two most ancient provinces of the Western Church, those of Canterbury and York, forming them into a single province under Dr. Nicholas Wiseman, and substituting the Jus Commune of Papal Rome for the constitutions and canons of the Anglican Church, however rncient their date. It can hardly be sup posed that our statesmen will tamely submit to this invasion of our Church and country by a foreign Prince and Prelate, or that they will violate that so lemn pledge, by which every one who takes the Oath of Supremacy is bound to resist such an attack upon the Queen's authority, as the supreme governor over all persons and in all causes ecclesiastical as well as temporal within her dominions. Much less can we imagine that any will have the hardihood to renew the doctrine of a dispensing power, or to assert that the Sovereign can dispense with her own supreme authority—can allow a foreign Prelate to exercise jurisdiction in England according to the common law of Rome, and permit the internal state and condition of every county in her Majesty's dominions to be continually subject to the cog nizance of the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide at Rome. If, however, these evils are to be averted, it must be, under God's blessing, by a combination scarcely less powerful and united than that which in 1688 prevented James 11. from carrying into effect hi s wishes for the conversion of England to Popery. It is not by mere protests or remonstrances that the Papal power can be expelled but by the authority of the law, by the exertion of honest zeal in defence of the Protestant religion, such as actuated the statesmen of former times, and by faithful adh erence t o t h ose pr i nciples of the Eng lish Constitution for the defence of which the House of Brunswick now sits upon the . throne of this realm. That our Bishops, and specially our Reverend Diocesan will, both in and out of Parliament, do their duty in endeavouring to deliver our Protestant country from papal aggression we can not doubt. Our Church is assailed by her ancient and implacable enemy from without, she has been basely deserted by many of her sons, but our Bishops well know that the Protestant faith is dear as ever to the people of England, and that the voice of the coun try will .be with them in every resistance which they shall offer to the establishment of the Pope's jurisdic tion in England, and to the recognition, either secret or avowed, of any of the emissaries of the Church and Court of Rome who may be sent to this country by virtue of the recent bull for the establishment of a Papal hierarchy in this flourishing kingdom of England.'

An adjourned general meeting of the associated shareholders of this railway company was held yes terday, at two o'clock, at the King's head Tavern, Poultry. Mr. POULSPOIID occupied the chair, and amongst the gentlemen present we observed Colonel Sir William Verner, M.P., Mr. William Parry Richards, Mr. J. Dorrington, Mr. A. Hadley, Mr. Charles Joyce, Mr. David Powell, Mr. J. A. Gallini, Mr. Septimus West, Mr. Nash, Mr. Willen, Mr. F. A. Lewis, solicitor, Mr. Humfrays, and several others. Colonel Sir WILLIAM Vazucan, M.P., rose to address the meeting. He said he felt it to be unnecessary to occupy their time for more than a few minutes, be cause he concluded they were all acquainted with what had recently taken place in Dublin with respect to this company, and the result of the meeting which was held therein August last. In compliance with the wishes expressed by several gentlemen connected with this company as shareholders, and having taken also a very prominent part in his place in Parliament with regard to the circumstances connected with the company and the transactions of its directors, he felt himself called upon to attend that meeting in Dublin. lie went there, and, to his astonishment, he found the meeting was appointed to be held in Dublin, contrary to the rule with respect to all the meetings of the company that had been previously held, except• ing the very first. He and his friends conld not understand, in the first instance, why the meeting was to take place in Dublin in pre ference to the company's office in the Strand, where its meetings were usually held.—(Hear, hear.) They very soon discovered the object, however, of holding the meeting in Dublin, w hi c h was , if he might ex press himself as an Irishman, to hold no meeting at all.—(Laughter.) They thgn discovered that those gentlemen, the directors, who were there as both judges and jury, and were the people who were to decide everything, had prepared themselves previously to declare that the meeting was not competent to act, inasmuch as there was not a sufficient number of shareholders present and eligible to constitute a meet ing.--(Hear, hear.) The meeting, which was ap pointed at one o'ctack, took place at half-past one, and when two o'zifock arrived the chairman intimated that the meeting was put an end to, on the ground of there not being a sufficient number of shareholders present. Under these circumstances he (Sir Wm. Verner) determined, if possible, that the directors Should hear him, and those who acted with him ; and when the Chairman (Lord Courtown) announced that the meeting was dissolved, he (Sir Wm. Verner) re quested that he would not leave the chair until he heard what they had to say—(Hear)—and that be (Sir Wm. Verner) in particular, having taken the part he did in reference to this company in his place in Parliament, wished to make some explanations to the gentlemen who were then present. The chairman said he could not hear him (Sir Wm. Verner) and be would not hear him, and that he must leave the chair.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir W. Verner) replied that if that was his Lordship's determination they had no other alternative but to move some other person into the chair; and he (Sir W. Verner) immediately moved that a gentleman present should take the chair, on which Lord Courtown, the chairman, and some other directors with him, immediately left the room. Their solicitor, Mr. Kane, then took the head of the table, and addressing him (Sir W. Verner) and his friends, said they could not, nor should they, hold any meeting in that room ; he further said that room was his (Mr. Kane's), a n d he had paid for it, and they had no right to hold any meeting in it. He (Sir W. Verner) then asked Mr. Kane if he would state to the gentlemen then and there present by whom the charge for the room was to be borne, and whether it was not to be entered in the accounts of the company. Mr. Kane replied he could answer no questions in the absence of the directors.—(Hear, and laughter.) Mr. Kane continued to say they must leave the room, that they should not hold their meeting there, nor should they remain there; that he was very sorry to be discourteous, but they could not remain in that room. In this state of things he (Sir William Verner) apprehended that the police would have had to be called in. —(A laugh.) Eventually, however, he (Sir W. Verner) and his friends put a gentleman into the chair, and they then expressed their opinions as to the trick which had been played by the direc tors to prevent the shareholders holding any meeting. There was a very able statement made by the gentle man who occupied the chair of the affairs of the com pany and its history from its commencement, which he (Sir W. Verner) regretted did not appear in the newspapers. Mr. Nash also addressed the meeting, and his speech was tolerably fairly reported. Ulti mately it was thought the best thing they could do was to adjourn the meeting to London. With what had since taken place the present meeting was tolerably well acquainted, and he should not, there fore, detain them by relating it. Ile was not well acquainted with the hour or the place of the subse • quent meeting, and he was not, therefore, able to at tend it, but he had endeavoured to make up for the omission by appearing at this present meeting. Mr. NAsn then read the further report of the asso ciated shareholders end committee. After referring to the meeting held in Dublin in August last, and the circumstances attending it as given in the speech of Sir W. Verner, the report proceeded as follows : '• We now proce(d to communicate what has been accomplished since our last meeting. We have secured (as we believe) a ' dissolution of the company, and abandonment of the scheme, after we bad taken legal proceedings, &c. After the signal failure of the last desperate effort in the House of Lords' to defeat, or discredit, this opposition, (then pressing closely Upon the directors personally,) over tures were made by the directors to us to suspend pro ceedings in England and Ireland on both sides,' to which we assented, having only one object at heart ; subse quently, on Ist June, we obtained a written pledge to dissolve the company.' " The ' actions for calls'—which were threatened in 1848, and again in 1849 and 1850—have been stayed. Agreements to try only three actions against the as sociated shareholders have been made, and farther stayed by injunctions up to November term. " The further calls' threatened have also been stayed, and ultimately the intention abandoned. An injunction has also been obtained restraining further calls for the present. " The works (which were estimated to take seventy years to finish at the rate at which they were progress ing) were stayed by injunction, and ultimately stopped altogether. " The directors have not ventured to proceed with their Bill' in Parliament—for which every opposition was prepared by us. " The Bill as framed would have cast upon the solvent holders a positive liability to raise among themselves half a million at least.' "We also watched 'other measures' affecting you. Although the endeavours to obtain a Committee of In vestigation in the Commons' were for the time do feated, owing to the lateness of the session, and the mis statements made, to which a direct contradiction was publicly given by Mr. Nash, yet various returns' were ordered, end documents printed by Parliament, and can be bought for a trifling sum, illustrative of the manage ment of this company, preparatory to renewed ef forts in the next session, to which your assistance is solicited. An inspection of the' works' confirms our previous statements of the delusive and reckless character of the scheme—not three miles of line (on the sea side of Kil liney and Brayhead rocks—round and through desolate roeksandprec one the other) es—overh have angingthbeeestrabonove half cut with mountains and finished. The boasted • gift of land' (part of said rock) has cost us about four and a half miles of solid wall five feet high—te roadway fifteen feet wide, with another solid protecting wall, averaging five feet depth for three miles—all round the rock—overhanging the sea—above the proposed line of railway.

" Better and more speedy results might have at. tended this perseverance, with an ordinary consti tuency; but by an early and economical ' winding up' (after settling some preliminaries), the loss to the share holders will be trifling compared with what it would have been if the delusions disseminated by every halt yearly report had continued to mislead the share holders, and to make them the laughing-s:ock 'of Ireland. "Iu effect one grand object for the shareholders has been accomplished, namely, a stoppage of expenditure, an abandonment of the project, and if we were to close here our labours would not have been unproductive; but it is necessary to have the cordial co-operation of the shareholders with this association to ensure a proper ter mination, with that spirit of fair play and absence of personal feeling which we have ever desired.

"In an interview with the Solicitor-General he pro mised an amendment of the Abandonment Ac: next session, if it were found not to work. The printed' accounts for the last half-year (audited by Mr. Codd. who has transferred his shares to a window-cleaner!—(Laughter)—and by Mr. Slade, the company's counsel) offered no real information on the state of affairs. " An inspection of the books of the company has been had, and the directors hare been compelled to exhibit a balance sheet,' and a statement of debts, liabilities, and assets of the company,' under the statute. "It appears thereby that the directors had only cash in hand (in June) of 2,1441.,' but according to the answers of the directors in Chancery it was only 6001. in September. That the debts due by the company,' as admitted by the directors, are— For land purchases, assumed at For works expenses, engineering expenses, law costs, office expenses, &c., assumed at ll,OOO Interest due to shareholders Calls paid in advance 27,500 579 210 £28,289 But it is believed that these items do not include com pensation to the Kingstown Company, to contractors, to landowners, &c., for loss of the line, inasmuch as in their answers in Chancery the directors state that there will be other claims, autountinz to, it is supposed, 75 0001.' " To meet this debt of 28,289/. the directors state the credits and property' to be— ' Land, cost' (including, we assume, the lands for which 16,5001. is to be paid, and 10,5004 has been already paid. . £27,021 ' Works, in course of construction, cost' (in cluding Kelliney, tunnel contract,' on Kingstown side of Bray, 19,1654, and Bray Head. the other or Wicklow side of Bray, 29,8800 Balance cash in hand .

" Assuming the directors' own accounts and figures, it thus appears that the existing debts (if legally charge able against the shareholdors) are 28,289/., whilst there is 79,698/. assets, besides the 84,889/. arrears of calls. However no shareholder can or will object to contribute an equitable proportion to the fair liabilities of the com pany upon a wind-up and dissolution, which would legally exonerate him from further liability.

( A laugh)—are d Courtown and Sir Thomas Esmonde have ventured to say, that they would not attend the celebrated February, 1849, meeting for fear of violence from the shareholders; that they never heard of any resolutions of censure' by the shareholders; that they have no information, knowledge, or belief as to the buying up of shares, and hiring of shareholders, by Carden and Whitehead,' or by Kane or Symes, the company's solicitors—nor of their letters or indemnities to shareholders: whereas such letters have been read to them publicly, and the resolu tions of censure also sent to them. " In conclusion; if our endeavours were to stop here, we might fairly congratulate the shareholders on the re sult of three years' arduous struggles against strong and powerful interests unfairly pressed against this opposi tion, which was seeking to cfftct a legitimate, and now conceded object, and having only one desire, namely, the protection of the shareholders against delusions and iniquities of an extraordinary nature. It remains now to carry out those results by an economical course of winding up the company. (By older) " Criss. DE LACY NASH', 52, Parliament -street. " Acting Hon. Secretary." In reply to a question put by Sir WILLIAM VERN RE, Mr. NASH said there was an injunction stopping all proceedings for the present, which would come on for discussion next week. He then moved that the report as read be adopted. Mr. J. A. GALLTNI seconded the motion. Mr. RICHARDS suggested the omission from the re port of certain passages and terms which the directors might construe as offensive to themselves, and which it was desirous to avoid, inasmuch as the meeting hoped before long to be in friendly communication with the directors. He alluded to the paragraphs in the reports referring to the opposition of the Great Western direction and of Mr. Hayter, late a director of this company, and to indictments which counsel had advised against the directors for maladministra tion and for statements in their answers in Chancery. The rest of the meeting seemed unanimously to coincide with the suggestion of Mr. Richards ; the objectionable passages were then struck out, and the report so amended was agreed to unanimously. Mr. lirmeAN -asked what was the form of the present bill in Chancery ? Mr. IsTasu replied that it was a bill for an account. On the motion of Mr. NASH, seconded by Mr. FRED. AUGUSTUS LEWIS, Solicitor, it was then una nimously resolved—" That this meeting disapproves and rejects the directors' report and accounts sub mitted to the meeting on the 31st August, 1850, and authorise the acting shareholders to investigate, and take such proceedings to investigate the smile, and to continue the existing prcceedings, as they think fit." Mr. RICEARDS moved that the services of Mr. Muggeridge, as secretary, were no longer uecessary, and that his services and salary be forthwith discon tinued. Mr. lIADLEY seconded the motion, which was carried nemine contradicente. On the motion of Mr. Nash, seconded by Mr. Powell, it was also unanimously resolved, that the as sociated shareholders be authorised to communicate with the Railway Commissioners and the Attorney- General, as to the Railway Abandonment Act and the position of the company. Sir William Verner moved and Mr. Richards seconded a ♦ote of thanks to the Chairman, which that gentleman briefly acknowledged. Mr. RICHARDS, in moving the thanks of the meet ing to Sir William Verner, paid a well-merited com pliment to the Hon. Baronet, for the great exertions he had made, both in and out of Parliament, to see justice done to the shareholders of this company. The CHAIRMAN seconded the motion, and adverted to the great inconvenience to which Sir William Verner had put himself in order to attend the meeting in Dublin. Mr. NASH also bore his testimony to the exertions of the Hon. Baronet. The motion was carried unanimously. Sir WILLIAM VERNER said he was happy to find that his humble exertions had met with their ap probation. He very seldom took any part in meet ings of that kind ; he had frequently attended them, but he abstained from taking any part in them. Having, however, attended on two or three occasions the meetings of this company, and having found the conduct of the directors, in his opinion, highly objec tionable, as well as the propositions made on the part of the shareholders who were connected with the directors, he really felt that he could not held back any longer from taking part in the proceedings, and he was very happy to find that the humble part he had taken had been approved of by the shareholders. On the motion of Mr. Nash, seconded by Mr. Willan, the meeting was then adjourned to one o'clock on Wednesday, the 11th December next, to be holden in the same place. PUBLIC BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.—The Wor shipful Company of Mercbant Tailors, at a court held on the 24th instant, ordered that fifty guineas should be granted in aid of the funds of the committee for promoting the estab lishment of baths and washhouses for the labouring classes.
