Yesterday the lulf-yearly meeting of share. holders was held at the Waterloo Terminus—Mr. Mangles in the chair. The report, the abstract of which has already been published, was taken as read. It states that the half-yearly accounts to the 30th June, 1868, show the net revenue for the six months, after de ducting interest on loans awl all other preferential charges, to be £156,263 2s. Id. ; add the surplus at December, 1867, £10,303 9s. 10d.; balance avail able for dividend, £166,566 11s. 11d. From the above sum the directors recommend that a dividend be declared at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, payable on the Ist September, amounting on £7,772,886 6s. 7d. of paid-up capital to £155,457 14s. 61, leaving to be carried over to the current half-year £ll,lOB 17s. 51 Tile CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that he hoped the accounts and report would be considered satisfactory. They were the only company in the metropolis, he believed, that increased its dividend in the past half-year. The question between capital and revenue met with the greatest consideration, both from the board and the auditors, and they adjusted as fairly as they could the interests of the present and future. (Hear, hear.) The steel rails were now paid out of re veaue. The capital expenditure this year was only £38,000, as compared with £139,000 last year, being a saving of £lOO,OOO. The board would do all they could to keep down the capital account. The works in prcgress would, he hoped, be finished by next November, except the Aldershot line ; and there was no intention of engaging in any new works. The net revenue for the half year available for dividend wos £166,000, out of which they proposed to distribute £155,000, carrying over £ll,OOO. This would give a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The net increase of traffic in the half-year was £22,697. The chairman proceeded to explain the different items of the expenditure ac count. He was happy to say that there existed a good feeling between them and the Brighton and the South-Eastern Boards—(hear, hear)—and as a consequence of that he hoped that the Charing cross and Caunoq-street stations would be acces sible to passengers arriving at Waterloo from all parts of the company's system. The company was released from the obligation to make the Ilfra combe Railway, and the Parliamentary deposit had been released. With regard to the future he thought their prospects were good. The motion having been seconded, the report was adopted. THE MOORS. The opening day on the vast range of moors between Sheffield and Manchester, and extending into Derbyshire and Cheshire, was far from being so successful as was anticipated, and, as a rule, very moderate bags indeed were made. There were plenty of sportsmen out from an early hour, but as the birds generally were very strong on the wing and wild shooting them was far from easy. It may be said that on some of the most extensive moors, such as those of Mr. Stanhope and others, extending for miles from Dunford-bridge, they are so far un touched, and likely to be so, so as to allow for stocking after the devastation of last year. On the grounds of Sir Lionel Pilkington, near Hazlehead, there were several guns shooting, and at the close of the day there was a very poor bag made, seven brace being the highest obtained by any gentleman of the party. On the Midhope moors Mr. H. Lonasson was stated to.have killed nine brace, Mr. Garsett seven brace. On the Mickledon moors, in a few hours, Mr. Peacock killed over four and a half brace, and Mr. Wright three and a half brace. On the Wessenden moors, in the neighbourhood of Holmfirth, Mr. Clarke and party had very mode rate sport, and the same has been the case on the Strines, Mosear, Bradfield, and other moors. Yes terday up to noon there were not very many birds killed, and the rain in some parts rather interfered with the sport. The prospects so far are rot so encouraging as they appeared some time since, and the course adopted by many of the owners of moors to allow them to rest for another season, or to only partially shoot over them, appears to be generally ac luiesced in. Grouse were offered at from 7s. to Bs. a brace yesterday. LADTERTISEMENT. 1 —HoHoway's Pills and Ointment. For all skin diseases, however inveterate, these medicines are a sovereign remedy. While the ointment passes through the pores of the skin as water saturates the soil, or as salt penetrates meat, the pills act upon the blood, which they correct and purify. The whole physical ma chinery is thus rendered healthy, regular, and vigorous. The cure thus effected is not partial ant temporary —the disease is entirely and for ever driven from the system, and the patient need not be apprehensive of its return. As these medicines have no violent action they do not neces • sitato any interruption of ordinary avocation. They aro composed of rare balsams, and may safely bo given to young children and delicate females. SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &c. ADMIRALTY, Bth August, 1868. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the arrangements for the ADMISSION of persons, not already in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering as ADMIRALTY PUPILS, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 or more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engine - 6ring establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected w th shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practice thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and cumbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows : Marks. Pure mathematics, including arithmetic mensura . . • . tion, geometry (plain and — descriptive), plane tri gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics ... , 1,000 Practical shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) ... ... 2,500 Practical marine engineering (for enginner candi dates only) 2,500 French ... ..• •.. 500 Ekments of physic and chymistry ... 750 English grammar and composition ... 750 Geography and History 750 • No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks iu the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either fOr practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the compe tition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. Gd. per day for • six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the S.;hool or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining five months to actual work and the acquirement orpracti cal knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in theirsubsequentcareer. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to. that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, not later than the Ist September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or i-hipwrights. The examination will take place on the 28th September and three following days. By command- of their Lordships, HENRY GORDON LENNOX. • ~F oPIRIT?NrM TTATOMITINLL-Ec. The Times remarks that the ruling principle of Mr. Stevens's life may have shortened his days, yet it seemed at the last to have brought some compensation with itself ; for the man who spent all his vital power in enforcing the objects he had at heart was apparently able by the same agency of determination to keep death at bay after he had grasped his victim. The spectacle of Mr. Stevens in the Capitol thus became almost painfully impressive His cavernous eyes and hollow cheeks told their tale. Unable to walk to the House of Representatives, he was equally unable to speak for more than a minute or two at a time when taken there. Yet he appeared day after day in his place, and up to the last attempted to direct the course of the debate by a brief sentence, in which he concen trated what he deemed the essence of the question. He spoke in this way on the very eve of adjournment last month ; and he persisted earlier in the session in appearing at the bar of the Senate as one of the impeachers of Mr. Johnson, though he was compelled by sheer debility to abandon the attempt to read the long indict ment lie had prepared against the President. His leading principle was that of equality as held by the revolu tionists of 1789, and it was this principle which led him to the proposal to pay off the nation's creditors in greenbacks, because the salaried officers and furnishers of supplies were paid through the same medium. He was by birth a "Green Mountain Boy," and in Ver. mont he imbibed such little education as he ever received; but, in truth, he never was, and probably never could have been, a well-educated man. He was too impatient in expression and too narrow in intelligence to receive lessons of modeiation and comprehensiveness. Whateven subject claimed his attention, he spoke out on it without doubt or heiitation, and, as he never weighed his words, he was continually convicted of inconsistency. Stevens was fanatical, self-willed, and most bitter in his. animosities, but there was neither meanness nor deceit in his nature. And it must be remembered of him that be was almost the last of a class of Americans who have left no followers. While everything conspires to efface the individuality of each member of the younger generation, and they resign themselves without resistance to the limits prescribed by party discipline, Mr. Stevens preserved his own opinions and enforced his own will, yielding neither to " caucus" nor to " convention " when they violated the law of his own conscience. The Daily News tells us that the death of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens takes away one of the most prominent figures from the stage of American politics. Although he had outlived his leadership of the Republican party, and had forfeited much of the enthusiastic confidence he once inspired, he passes away at a time which gives almost dramatic completeness to his political life. The period of his greatest services has long past, and all the results of those services have been rendered secure. The principles for which Mr. Stevens contended with an almost fanatical energy and zeal have been fully established in American legislation, and the return of nearly all the revolted States to Congress under conditions which he did so much to shape, renders his work tolerably complete. But Mr. Stevens was not the man for leadership in reconciling times. He was more a revo lutionary leader than a statesman. He had that firm grasp of great principles and that enthusiastic confidence in their application which leaders of great national move ments always possess ; but he had none of that power to understand and appreciate a policy other than his own, which is so necessary to a statesman. This uncompro mising spirit, supported as it was by an uncon querable will, which for years fought death with one hand and secession with the other, gave him his wonderful power at the time of the war, and was his weakness afterwards. He could not change with circumstances, but played the crusader when the crusade was over, and kept sounding the trumpet of battle after the victory was won. For a year or two past he has been the stormy petrel of politics. His weird look, his wonderful energy in triumphing over manifest phy sical decay, and his excited oratory, made him the most remarkable figure in the House of Representatives. But his influence over legislation was but small, and his sway over the popular mind had departed from him. His work was done when the battle was won and the Congressional policy firmly established, and his departure from the scenes of his triumphs will leave a personal void, but cannot be said to leave any important place unfilled, either in the leadership of his party or in the counsels of the nation. The Standard says of him : No community ever had a more pitiless enemy than the South found in Thaddeus Stevens. Had he lived he might have weakened his own friends by his " greenback " policy:—the South he could scarcely have brought lower. General Butler is the nearest approach to him in character, and he will probably par tially cccupy Stevens's place. His life extended back to the first of the Presidents—sixteen of them he saw come and go. Whether he left any records of his experiences behind him we know not, but of late years he was unable to write much. He had few friendships; but being tho roughly cynical, lie cared nothing for the enmities which constantly sprang up beneath his feet. Altogether he has left a memorable mark upon the history cf his country, and it is for posterity to decide whether the later actions of his life were for good or evil. The Telegraph compares Mr. Stevens with his asso ciates. Charles Sumner was a man of far higher culture, but he lacked the fire of his well-known colleague, and his influence was weakened by constant exhibitions of a feminine irritability and vanity. Butler commanded no personal respect, and was regarded even by his friends as a ruffian and a jobber. Wade was deemed, rightly or wrongly, to be personally greedy of power. But at cynical Stevens none of these charges could be levelled. There was something grand in the very ferocity of his anger. He hated the Southerners as Cato did the Carthaginians, as William 111. hated the French. Their friends were his enemies, their foes his friends. Extreme old age, failing strength, and mortal pain never softened the fury with which he bunted President Johnson down from the hour of his defection. He was neither good, nor wise, nor generous ; but in his time he did signal service, and, with all his faults, we may apply to him the famous phrase " that was a man." With his death we may fairly expect wiser counsels to prevail in the Republi _ can party. It is clear, by the selection of Grant as the Republican candidate, that the era of extreme men and revolutionary measures has passed away ; and with the failure of the impeachment trial Stevens himself felt that his day had ended. The Post says that Sir William Hutt at Gateshead anti Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer at Tamworth have given us each from his particular point of view a Liberal manifesto of considerable value, as shewing the tendencies of the rank and file of the party which expects to be in the ascen- dancy upon the meeting of the next Parliament. Sir William, an old and tried politician, who has been tried in many positions and acquitted himself well in all of them, but who has now made up his- mind " that nothing whatever" shall again tempt him to undertake the " fatigue and irksome responsibilities of office," speaks to us almost as a voice from the political tomb—and with so much the more authority, of course— in the language of warning and friendly admonition, to bid us be wise in time ; while Sir Henry Buiwer, a fresher and more ardent politician, addresses us in the language of hope, generosity, and faith in the future. Differing in their manner of presenting things, and apparently also in their estimates of the relative importance to be attached to each of them, they yet are found upon the same road, travelling towards the same end, and will, it may be predicted, never be found in different lobbies in the Parliament where it is to be hoped they will soon meet. Sir William Hutt attaches himself more especially to the party aspect of public affairs, and produces with consi derable force the considerations which make in favour of ;he party with which he is identified. He strongly advo• cstes the total abolition of the Irish Church Establish ment. Sir Henry Bulwer agrees with Sir William Hutt upon this main question of policy, and we need not there fore repeat the arguments in its favour ; but he goes more into general politics, and is especially strong upon th e status and claims of the people at large, of whom so many have now become electors. He is a strong advocate for the ballot as a necessary defence to the dependent classes now admitted to the franchise, and in a sound speech he has placed in a new and strong light the national advantages he expects from their admission. The Herald draws attention to the change of tone in the Times on the rumoured appointment of Lord Mayo to India, and reminds its contemporary that the time is past for it to exercise any exceptional influence in this matter. A stronger pressure is brought to bear upon it since it dis. cussed the subject, the result, no doubt, of a party move. India wants a nobleman, and she wants a statesman—one p e A r i e n n d c e h , e r and i e t e h r e oy i n s s l t l i o n u e l t d s b a e nd no l t ia o b n it ly s of a a w d it o n l a of rai I .ut one with the conventional attributes of i ffi sja ia ti l m e e x 1 Jrder ; ‘..no w ill personally command respect, and be recognised everywhere as the man that he is. She requires a safe man, who has no prejudices in the way suasions, which are the first difficulties that her rul er of policy, nel who will be superior to partisan per. has to encounter. Had Lord Auckland possessed this apparently negative, but in practice very active quality, we should never have had the Affghan war, which first lr . oke down our prestige in India and prepar e d the way ft r :hi mutinies.
