The Directors have pleasure in submitting to the Proprietors the First Report of their proceedings, detailing the progress they have already made towards a commencement of the works. Immediately after the Act had obtained the royal assent, the Di rectors instructed their engineer, Mr. Lanyon, to prepare the working plans, to advertise the contracts, separating the line into three di visions, being a distande of 35 miles, exclusive of the branch to Ran daletown, as follows : First—Belfast to King's Moss, including branch to Carrickfergus • • • • • •• • • • • • • ...... 15 miles. Second —King's Moss to Antrim .• ••• • • 9 „ Third—Antrim to Ballymena ...• ••• • • • .. 11 „ 35 miles. It must be equally satisfactory to the Shareholders, as to the Di rectors, to find that Mr. Lanyon, at so early a period as the begin ning of October, was enabled to complete the whole plans. The Directors arc happy to state that the contract for completing the entire line has been let to Mr. Dargan, the well-known con tractor, on satisfactory terms, and the Directors confidently hope that the line will be opened to the public within two years. Steps are at present being adopted to obtain possession of the land required. Contracts have already been entered into for the quantity of rails and sleepers required at present. The Directors have also entered into contracts with the respectable , firms of Messrs. laury, Curtis, and Kennedy, of Liverpool, and Messrs. Sharp, Roberts, and Co., of Manchester, for supplying lo comotive engines, on the most approved principles. A. first call of 21. 10s. per share was made, payable on the Ist October last. The Directors find that it has been responded to by Shareholders holding stock to the amount of 5,488 shares, up to the 31st October, and. since that date, on 1,650 shares ; making in all 7,138 shares ; leaving 562 outstanding, which, the Directors have no doubt, will be immediately paid up. On reference to the subjoined statement of accounts, it will be observed that the expenditure in obtaining the Act has been upon the most moderate scale. Three vacancies have occurred at your Board, viz. :—John Thom son, George Joy, and Andrew Gihon, Esqs., and the Directors, in pursuance of the power conferred on them by the Act, have elected the following gentlemen in their stead :—George Macartney, Esq., of Lissanoure Castle; Thomas Verner, Esq., Ormcau ; Benjamin Cle ments Adair, Esq., of Loughanmore. Notices have been given by a highly respectable Company for a line of railway from Ballymena to Ballymoney, where it will form a junction with the projected Annagh and Portrush lines, by which means the connexion between Derry and Belfast will be completed ; and your Directors entertain the confident hope that Acts will be obtained for their construction at an early period of the next session of Parliament. GEO. HANDCOCK, Chairman. The Balance-sheet is appended. The report and statement of accounts having been read, William Coates, Esq., rose and said, he had great pleasure in moving That the report and statement of accounts now read be received, approved of, and circulated among the Shareholders." He could not help congratulating the Company on the comparatively small sum which had been extended in obtaining their Bill, survey ing the line, &c. Ee considered the whole expense exceedingly mode rate. Double the sum had been sp ent by other companies, while several of the items were a great deal loss thou those for similar pur poses in another railway with which he was connected. For so far, everything connected with the line had been satisfactory, and he had, therefore, much pleasure in moving the adoption of the report. (Hear, hear.) Samuel Green, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. Major Rowan, of Merrille, moved, and it was seconded by John Given, Esq.— " That the Company's seal be affixed to the list of Proprietors laid on the table." The Secretary then, in compliance with the Act of Parliament, affixed the seal of the Company to the list of Shareholders, in the pre sence of the meeting. John Young, Esq., then moved the following resolution: — "That the meeting feel gratified to hear the progress already made in entering into the necessary contracts, and that a vote of thanks be given to the Directors for their services." Drummond Anderson, Esq., had very great pleasure in seconding the resolution, which, having been put from the chair, was carried Unanimously. The Hon. 0. Handeock having vacated the chair, it was ken`tak by Nath. Alexander, Esq., M.P. and on the motion of the Rev. . Bland, seconded by Thos.

The object of the proposed undertaking is to unite the city of Exeter with the towns of Yeovil and Bridport, as forming a part of the great integral scheme for making the best direct railway cemunica don from the metropolis, through Exeter to the important seaports and harbours in the British Channel, as well as completing the chain of south coast communication from the ports of Dover, Portsmouth, and Southampton, to Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth. Between Yeovil and Westbury, the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth Railway will form the main line of communication, at which latter place it will join a proposed extension of the Berke and Hants Railway from Hungerford, carried through the Palmy Valley, as shown more distisetly in the accompanying plan. The Berks and Manta, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Bills have already passed, and those lines are under construction. The Great Western Railway Company will apply for the extension from Rungerford to Westbury, only thirty-five miles, in the approaching session. The line of the Exeter Great Western Railway is intended to com mence at a distance of about three miles from Exeter, by a junction with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Stoke Canon, and proceed ing thence by Ottery Saint Mary and Honiton, will pass into the Talley of the Axe at Axminster. From that place, the main line, in one direction, will continue along the same valley, passing within about three miles of Chard (which town it is proposed to connect with the main line by a short branch), and through Crewkerne, to wards Yeovil, near to which town it will join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, is the other direction, will proceed near to . Lyme Regis, and thence to Rridport, where it will also join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, leading towards Dorchester and the *oast line to Soda ampton. It is agreed that the line shall be worked by the Groat Western Railway Company, under a lease, as in the case of the Wilts, Somer set, and Weymouth Railway ; in consideration of which, the Great Western Railway Company have undertaken to guarantee to the proprietors four per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital, with an increase of one-half per cent., in proportion to any dividend of one per cent. upon their own stock, exceeding eight per sent., which in 'roue shall be payable to the proprietors of the Exeter Great Western Railway Company, in addition to the guaranteed rate ; and all the preliminary expenses, in case the Act shall not be obtained within the two next sessions of Parliament. The capital will be raised in 26,000 shares of 101. each, upon which a deposit of 51. per share will be paid upon subecriptions, and no further call will be made Previously to obtaining the Act of Incor poration.

(Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a London Common Jury.) MASON V. FLETCHER. This was an undefended action of assault, the defendant allowing judgment to go by default, and the only question for the jury being the amount of damages. The assault complained of was committed when the de fendant, who is a medical student, was in a state of delirium tremens, represented to be the result of intemperance. The defendant, it appeared from the statement of Mr. Nair, a medical gentleman who had attended the defendant during his illness, was under a delusion, the result of his illness, fancying that all who attended him were conspiring against his life. The plaintiff, in whose house the defendant lodged at the time (in July of this year), was in the habit of sitting up with defendant, as well as the witness himself, and an object of the defendant's especial animosity. The plaintiff interfering in a scuffle which took place between the defendant and Mr. Nair, when the former was making an attempt to escape from the room, received a kick in the lower part of the abdomen, the result of which was a rupture, from which he has not yet recovered. Several surgeons, who had seen the plaintiff while under the effect of the injury, were examined to prove the extent of his sufferings, and also the expense to which he was put, viz., surgical attendance and medicine. The LonD Cities . JUSTICE having summed up shortly, The jury found a verdict for plaintiff—Damages, 801. HOLIES r. THE FOUNDERS' COMPANY. This was an action to recover compensation for an injury done to plaintiff by an accident, which occurred in conse quence of the neglect of the defendants. Damages were laid at 500/. Mr. Sergeant Talfeincl and Mr. Lush were for the plain tiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles for the defendants. Before the swearing of the jury, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD inquired whether any members of the Founders' Company were on the jury? The Ceurt having ascertained that there were not, the jury was sworn, and Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated the case, the facts of which .are as follows :—The plaintiff is a publican and eating-house keeper, in Grocers' Hall-court, Poultry, and on the 28th of May last was passing by Founders'. court, which is a passage between the Founders' Hall, on the one hand, and the Commercial Bank of England, the Church of England In surance Office, and the Founders' Arms public-house, on the other. This court is blind, but as it is lighted at the public expense, he (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd) did not conceive that it could be asserted that it was not a public thoroughfare. In this passage there were some altera tions going on, in the course of which a deep hole had been dug in an arched recess at one side, which hole had remained there for a long time, and ought to have been removed by the company. Mi.. Mason had occasion to go into the court, and, though it had been represented that he went there for an improper purpose, lie (Mr. Segeant Tal fourd) thought that such a pretence could not be supported, as there was a sink there with a gutter; and, indeed, al though the defendant had given in pleas of, first, " Not guilty"—second, that the plaintiff entered the passage for an immoral purpose, and must therefore take the consequence of the injury, the passage not being a thoroughfare—yep; the latter plea had been withdrawn, and the only plea was not guilty. The plaintiff on entering the court for the purpose previously intimated, went .to the recess, and was going into the place, not perceiving the hole, when his foot slipped, and lie fell to the bottom, where he lay in a state almost of insensibility, till he was heard groaning by an old woman who was passing by, and who gave the alarm to Mr. Cutby, the manager of the Commercial Bank of England, who was going in at the private door of the bank, which is 'in the court. Mr. Cutby, also hearing the groans, called a policeman, who having got down into the hole by means of a ladder, he, with the assistance of other policemen, who were brought to the spot by the old woman, got the man out, and took him to the public-house. A surgeon was then sent for, and, it was found that, falling on his feet, he had suffered a compound fracture, and one of the bones of the foot had been forced out of its place so as to in jure the leg. He was indeed so much injured that he kept his bed for a period of ten weeks, and after that time lie was obliged to go about on crutches, and would, probably, be a cripple for life. He had applied for compensation to the Founders Company, who said they were very sorry for the accident which had happened to Mr. Holmes, but that Messrs. Burton, the builders, were the responsible persons, and that the Company had nothing to do with it. Now he (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, thought no such defence could be sustained, if intended, as every one is responsible for the conduct of his agents, and indeed it would be impossible to maintain an action against the builders in this case. Mr. Cutby, manager of the Commercial Bank of England, Mrs. Gummer, landlady of the Founders' Arms public-house, and City policeman 170, gave evidence as to the facts stated by Mr. sergeant Talfourd in his address. Mr. Elliot, a surgeon, stated that he was called to the assistance of Mr. Holmes on the night in question. He found a compound fracture of the leg, and dislocation of the ancle. The plaintiff was confined to his bed for ten weeks, and after that time he was obliged to use a crutch. He was not yet thoroughly recovered, nor would he be for some time. He might, perhaps, recover the use of his leg by next summer ; but it was not certain. Witness's bill for attendance and instruments was 27/. 3s. 6d. Mary Jane Holmes, the plaintiff's daughter, spoke to the injury done to his business by his illness. Ile had before the accident a good business, capable of supporting himself and his family, but that after he had been laid up in consequence of the accident, the busi ness had so declined,: that they were obliged to give it up. He was now engaged to manage a beer-shop for a brewer. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant BYLES addressed the Court on the part of the de fendants,and raised three objections to the plaintiff's declaration First, it was stated that the defendants had made a hole in a certain archway, and opening into a certain public highway. Now the court in question, which the hole opened upon, was not a public high way. It was a private passage to the four buildings on either side, namely, the Founders' Hall, the Cosranercial Bank, the Insurance Office, and the public-house. He (Mr. Sergeant Byles) contended that this court, being a eceul-de-sac, could not be a public way. Secondly, the action lay, if against any one, against the builders, who were not the servants of the Company and the Company would not be responsible unless they were their servants. Thirdly, even if the court were a public thorough fare, and if the Company were resposible for what was done by the builders, they were not bound to cover an opening which was entirely on their own property, and not infringing the public property. The LORD CHIEF JusncE said he would reserve the point, if necessary. After a desultory discussion, Mr. Sergeant BYLES having addressed the jury, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE Summed up, and The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 150/. Mr. Sergeant Bvt,Es, having handed in a pill of excep. tions, asked leave to abandon it at a future time, if he should think fit, and move for a new trial. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD objected to his friend taking this double course; and after some discussion, The LORD Cum . Junto,: said that the Learned Counsel could not have leave to move, unless he abandoned the bill of exceptions at once. Mr. Sergeant BYLES preferred to adhere to the bill of ex ceptions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. "Yesterday Mr. Chapple, newspaper agent, of Lombard street, appeared before the Lord Mayor, to make a complaint against Mr. Farance, the secretary to the Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railway Company, under circum stances which are said to exist in a great variety of cases. Mr. Redpath, solicitor to Mr. Farance, attended for that gentleman, who was not present during the investigation. Several geutlemen who had paid upon shares which were allotted, but never received, were in the justice-room, and, as might be expected, a great deal of curiosity was excited and expressed. Mr. Chapple said—l applied, by letter, to the Provisional Committee of the Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southamp ton Railway, for shares, and received a letter allotting me forty shares, and desiring me to pay the sum of 84/. deposit upon them on or before the 7th of November, at the London Joint-Stock Bank, in Prince's-street. I accord ing paid the money required, and received a receipt from one of the cashiers. Upon the following day I received a printed circular from the offices of the Provisional Com mittee, in Exchange-buildings, signed by Mr. Farance, the secretary, informing mel that the committee of management had decided upon limiting the deposits to 10s. per share, and stating that the remaining IL 12s. would not be re quired till January next. I naturally applied as soon as possible, upon getting this information, to Mr. Farance for the balance of 11. 12s. per share, but he said the committee of management had no notion of adopting that course. I then asked for the scrip to which I was entitled, but Mr. Farance said it was the intention of the committee to issue no more scrip. The LORD MAYOR—Then you want your scrip or your I money? Mr. Chapple—l want my money. They had con tracted to go to rarliament and they have been unable to accomplish I that object, and demand that my money be re turned. Mr. Redpath, :elicitor to Mr. Farance—Was any reason assigned by Mr. Farance for not giving you the scrip? Mr. Chapple—The only answer I received was, that the commit tee of management had come to the resolution not to issue any more. I heard a gentleman say that he had received scrip after I had been refused. Mr. Redpath—Have you signed the Parliamentary . con tract? Mr. Chapple--Certainly not. I have neither signed the deed nor received the scrip, and I had no satisfaction at all of any kind. ' Mr. Redpath submitted that his client, Mr. Farance, had nothing whatever to do in the matter. The committee of management had instructed him that, under existing circum stances, there being no time to get before Parliament in the ensuing session, it was advisable to issue no more scrip. The committee had, he supposed, a discretionary power, and Farance had no authority to pay back the deposits or to in terfere with their decision in any way. In act, there H e no reasonable pretence for summ onin g the secretary. (Mr. Redpath) knew nothing whatever of then mpany. H on had not even known before h e attended the jtice-ropm the occasion that Mr. Farance was the secretary._ It ap d however that Mr. Chapple could now get the scrip peare ~ by signing the deed. Th e L oh p mAyea—who is thechairman of the company? Mr. Redpath protested that he was wholly ignorant of any of the matters connected with the company, but he knew the cti ono of the there was was nothing objectionable n uponinstru the part of his client, w ho had acted un iforml y upo mittee. H er e an applicant, whose name was not mentioned, ad. dressed the Lord Mayor. He said that he had a complaint of a similar kind to make. He did not want the scrip,m hich lie considered of no use. What he wanted was the amount of the deposits which be had paid. Mr. Redpath—l only appear for Mr. Farance, and I cannot Fee that the Lord Mayor has any jurisdiction in the question. It was merely from respect to the Lord Mayor that any no tice was taken of the summons. If any dispute exists be tween the partners in this concern, this which it can be settled. is not the place in The applicant said, he did not cons id er th a t M r .

The Committee of Direction beg to inform the shareholders that the Plans and Books of Reference of the line were duly lodged with the Board of Trade and with the Clerks of the Peace on the 30th ult., but in consequence of the fraudulent abstraction of twenty sheets of the Sections from the premises of tke Lithograper (a fact which the Committee are in a position to substantiate, and for the discovery of the perpetrator of which felonious proceeding they have taken the most decisive steps), the Sections, though deposited at the Board of Trade, were a few hours too late at the offices of the Clerks of the Peace ; they were, however, deposited before office hours on the following morning. The Committee feel confident that no impediment to the progress of the Bill will arise from this delay, the case of the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway last session affording, from the exact similarity, a decisive president for insuring the safety of the Rill in the standing orders. With the exception of about 500 reserved shares, the full deposit of 10 per cent. has been paid on the capital, of which 100,0001. have been invested at 34 per cent. interest, and 19,0001. at 3 per cent. The Sections will be found, on inspection, to show an excellent line, with favourable gradients, and very little earth-work or tun nelling for the length of the line. The landowners, whose property the railway traverses, are all but unanimously favourable, and the Committee feel undiminished confidence in the ultimate success of the un dertaking.

At a MEETING of LANDOWNERS, held November 10, 1545, at Eullsay Castle Ina, the following resolution was adopted " We, the undersigned,landovrners on and near the line of railway proposed to be made by a Company calling itself the Newcastle-on- Tyne, Edinburgh, and Direct Glasgow Railway, with a branch to Ilexham, having considered the proposed line, and explained with Mr. Monck, the Chairman of the Managing Committee of the said Railway Company, are of opinion that the proposed line of railway, both in its main line and in its branch, will be beneficial both to the line of country through which it will pass, and to our own estates, in af fording the shortest and easies n- t communication between Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Newcastle-upoTyne, and in opening ou t t o use the, lime and other minerals which may be now lying unwrought theni our lands. We are of opinion, therefore, that the projectors of po_ posed line ought to have our consent and support, subject to such re servations in regard to all private and personal interests as is usual in such cases."

Mr. Fa rance's solicitor now said that the scrip would be forthcoming, and that was the answer to the complaint. Mr. Redpath said it was evident this business was brought forward for the purpose of influencing the committee of management. If the Lord Mayor would consent to listen to complaints of this description, his Lordship would be inces santly occupied. The Loin, Maxon—l certainly think I shall be over whelmed with complaints about these transactions. In this case there can be no question as to the obligation upon the committee of management to pay back the difference be tween the first deposit required and that which was subse quently described as all that was considered necessary. Per haps the best course for me to take is to let the summons stand over for a week, and, in the interval, the committee of management may see the necessity of coming to a settle ment. Mr. Redpath—l do not ask for an adjournment for my client, my Lord. He has nothing to answer for. The applicant—The secretary suggested to me to write to the board. I did so, but the board returned no answer. At length the secretary told me the board had come to the determination to return no money. Mr. Redpath—The committee have a duty to observe to wards all who have been concersed in the Company, and Mr. Farance has to act according to their instructions. Here the Lord Mayor consulted Mr. Goodman, and imme diately afterwards said to Mr. Chapple and the other appli cant, " Why not go at once to the Mayor's Court, and attach the money at the banker's? That appears to me to be the most ready and effectual course." Mr. Chapple said, he would gladly adopt any oourse which the Lord Mayor might suggest. He thought Mr. Farance ought to attend upon the next occasion in fader to give an intelligible answer, forthat which Mr. Farance's solicitor had given was really no answer at all. The LORD Maxon.—l dare say, if you are not settled with before this day week, Mr. Farance will attend here himself to explain everything.! The summons was then adjourned till next Friday. We have been given to understand that already a great number of attachments have been issued from the Mayor's Court, attaching railroad money deposited in the hands of the bankers. The LORD Mimi said he had received the following re markable letter, which certainly was calculated to excite compassion for the sufferers : " Dec. 5, 1845. " Mr. M., of the Old Jewry, employed me to survey on the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. He took me and several others to Doncaster on Monday, the 10th ult. We were engaged till Saturday, the 22d, and when we went on Saturday evening to the Angel Inn for money, we found a letter, which I produce, stating that we were not to proceed with the surveys, &c., as the company were about amalgamating with some other line. Mr. M.'s party had left the town without leaving a penny either for us or the men they ordered us to employ, who wero poor, and wanted their money. Thus were we left 200 miles nearly from home with tavegn bills to pay, labouring men clamouring for money, and Without the means,of leaving, or paying their expenses. We were obliged to apply to our friends for money to discharge our bills, and part of the men's wages, calculating, bin arriting in town, on being im mediately settled with ; but we have not been able to get one farthing or any portion. I therefore request your Lordship to interfere on my behalf, as mine is a matter simplv of wages, and, I beg humbly to submit, in your Lordship's jurisdiction. Ido not wish to injure the parties; if Mr. M. will pay me a few pounds at once, I will let the balance stand over for his convenience. There are several in the same state, and our instrumeats and luggage are left for our bills, so that we are unable to accept any other engagement until we get the matter arranged. " Hoping your Lordship will pardon this long intrusion on your time, I beg permission to remain, your Lordship's most obedient servant, t• HENRY ENGLAND, Spa-road, Bermondsey." The Donn MAYOR apprehended that there were a great many cases parallel to that which the letter he had just read recited, and he trusted that the provisional committee would see the Immediate necessity of relieving the miserable dis tress which was beginning to show itself.

PERILOUS SITUATION.—On Saturday evening last Maria Whatley, of Wilton, a single woman, was rescued from a watery grave, at Laverstock, by two men, named Lambert and Teyborn, who heard her piteous groans. She was much intoxicated, and it is generally supposed, from the position she was found in, that she must have been dragged across two deep Water-carriages to the rapid stream where she was found. She is now very ill.—Sherburne Journal.
