RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER. The half-yearly meeting of this company was con vened to take place yester..ay at the company's offices, York-road, Lambeth, but there not being a sufficient number of proprietors present to form a quorum, it was adjourned. Mr. WooLmErt said, that although there were not a sufficient number of shareholders present to constitute a meeting, s till he should be very happy to give any pro prietors any information they might require, and he had no doubt that Mr. Chaplin, the Chairman of the London and South-Western Railway Company, would also state the views of that company with respect to their present position. They required some money from the South- Western Railway Company to enable them to pay the five per cent. which it was understood had been guaran teed to them during the construction of their line. Mr. CHAPLIN said he did not feel himself justified in promising any funds under present circumstances. They had taken counsel's opinion on the matter, and it had been brought forward at t h e i r l ast general meeting on the Sith of August. Be thought the best plan they could adopt would be, to appoint a committee on their part to look into the opinions of the counsel, and see what was tnoar, expedient to be done. They could do nothing until they had called a special meeting of their proprie tors (which they intended to do this autumn), for the directors had pledged themselves not to take any steps without the sanction of me proprietors at a special meeting to be called for that purpose. The point would then be set at rest. Ater some further conversation the proprietors separated. COLCHESTER AND STOUR VALLEY. Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at their new offices, Church-street, Colchester, Mr. T. L'Estranee Ewen, the chairman of the board of directors, presiding. Mr. G. BAWTREE, the secretary, read the report, which was as follows: " Immediately after the period for the intended half yearly meeting in February last, your directors obtained the opinion of counsel as to the possibility of legally convening an ordinary general meeting of the sharehol ders in place of the one which ought to have been held, but that opinion being decidedly against the legality of such a meeting, it called, it was convidered more prudent to abstain from assembling the shareholders under cir cumstances which might have thrown suspicion on the validity of their proceeding. No practical difficulty, however, has been found to result from the want of such ordinary general meeting, because the di rectors could at any time have called a special meeting of the shareholders, and nothing would have given them greater pleasure than the exercise of this power had the circumstances of the company re quired such a proceeding. But the directors regret to say that at present such circumstances have not arisen, for although so long ago as February last they hoped that a few weeks would enable them to ascertain . all the existing claims on the company, events had proved, notwithstanding all their perseverance and assiduity to effect it, that the intervening months have not been sufficient to furnish that result. The shareholders have already become acquainted with this fact from the cir cular which has been sent with the accounts; and what ever degree of disappointment may be felt, that in that respect the directors have not been able to redeem their promises, they can assure the shareholiers that the pre sent delay has been anything but prejudicial to their in terests. The directors are still endeavouring to bring about a satisfactory settlement with the contractor, and they feel so strong a belief that that will soon be eff-cted, that they intend to propose the adjournment of this meeting until Thursday, October 3, pledging themselves that in the meanwhile they will use their best efforts to present to the shareholders, seven days before that date, such an account of the entire expenditure of, and claims upon the railway company as was promised in February last. The Eastern Union Railway Company at once met the request of the directors for the payment of the sum on account of rent due to this company; and you will see by the published statement of accounts that the sum of 2,0001. was paid by them, which your directors lost no time in appropriating to those shareholders who have paid up their calls to June 23, 1849. The directors hope soon to receive a further sum on account of rent due. In the prospect of soon meeting you again, your directors have only to repeat the expression of their anxiety to close the capital account of the company with as little delay as is consistent with a due regard to the interests of the subscribers." Appended to the report was a statement of the receipts and disbursements, from December 31, 1849, to June 30, 1850. The total amount received during the half-year had been 6,9881. 6s. 9,1., while the expenditure during the same period had been 6,918/. 7s. 6d. The revenue account stood as follows:—Dr. To interest to warrants paid, 757/. 1 ls. 10d.; balance, 1,242/. Bs. 2d.; total, 2,0001. Cr. By cash, of Eastern Union Company, on account of rent, 2,0001. The following were the arrears on calls up to June 30, 1850:—First call, 6401. 19s. 3d.; second call, 1,348/. Os. 11d.; third call, 1,670/. 10s. 11d.; fourth call, 2,1901. 12s. 2d.; fifth call, 1,687/. 16s. Id.; sixth call, 2.5571. 10s.; seventh call, 3,204 L 14s. Making a total of arrears on calls of 13,300/. 3s. 4d. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said, that many shareholders who were at present absent would have attended the meeting to-day had it not been for a circular which Mr. Bawtree at the re quest of the directors had sent to the shareholders, ex pressing their ;regret that they were not able to for ward that statement of the entire liabilities of the com pany which they promised in February last, owing mainly to the fact that the negotiations with the con tractor bad not yet been brought to a close, and infor ming them also of the directors' intention to propose the adjournment of the meeting. Personally he (the Chairman) telt mess deeply the circumstance of not being eble to present the accounts to the present meet ing. The directors hoped, however, to meet their constituents in October, when everything regarding the state of the company should be laid before them. — (Cheers.) All that was necessary for him to do now was, to call upon the shareholders to adopt the report which had been read. _ Mr. C. HAWKINS seconded the motion, and the report was accordingly agreed to. A motion tor the adjournment of the meeting to the day recommended by the directors was carried, and the meet ing separated after awarding a vote of thanks to the chairman of the board. sent meeting had no power to go into the question: It had been fully discussed at the board, and there could by no doubt that the point was fully settled. Mr. ASTON thought it hard upon the Stour Valley propri,loTS. . Mr. P. %VILLIAMS contended that it was the interest of all parties under present circumstances to content them i,el,es with low dividends, with the view to reduce the amount of money borrowed at high rates of interest. Ultimately, the shareholders in the Stour Valley line would b , :t gainers by this mode of proceeding, for they would partake proportionately in the profits of the Lon dolt and North•W,,stern Company. After some uuitnpoittnt conversation the resolution was carried, and the meeting separated. BANQUET TO THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON AT .SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON. AUGUST 27.—The brief account of the festivities at Southampton yesterday, in honour of the visit of the Lord Mayor of London to that ancient borough, having been dispatched by the six o'clock P.M. train, I was unable to give any particulars relative to the banquet. The guests arrived in rapid succession soon after six o'clock, and as ea c h v i s i tor ' s name was announce d h e was introduced by M r . A ndrews, the " Mayor, to his Lordship—a cerem on y w hi ch occupied some li tt l e t i me , as hi s Lordship courteously entered into familiar con versation with many he had some previous acquaintance with. Although the dinner was to have taken place at half-palt six precisely, it was past seven before the guests were ushered into the banqueting-room,. in con sequence of the non-arrival of the Lord Mayor of Dublin (who had signified his intention of being present) and the Solicitor General, Sir Alexander Cockburn; the latter of whom, however, made his appearance soon after the guests were seated, and took his place to the right of the mayor. The Mayor was supported on his right by the Lord Mayor, .Lord Dudley Stuart, Sir John Barker Mill, Bart., Captain Mangles, M.P., W. Chaplin, Esq., M.P., Dr. Wilson, &c.; and on the left of his Worship were Lord George Lennox, the Dean of Winchester, Colonel Freestun, M.P, Thomas Chamberlayne, Esq., Charles Brett, Esq., &e. The banquet was one of the most recherchg descrip tion, and reflected much credit upon the liberal caterer, Mr. Fisk, of the High-street. There were no less than six bucks killed for the occasion, besides a profusion of every delicacy of the sea son, including a plentiful supply of grouse. The wines placed on the table were Moat's Cham pagne, Lafitte Claret, Hock (still and sparkling), Moselle (ditto), Burgundy, Bucellas, Port, and Sherry. At the conclusion of the repast, " Non nobis Domino" was effectively given by Messrs. Cross and Co., of Win chester, who also in the course of the evening sang se veral beautiful glees. Amongst the company present, we observed Lord Dudley Stuart, Lord George Lennox. Hon. Arthur Arundel, Major Colt, Captain Mangles, M.P., W. Chap lin, M.P., E. I. Hutchins, M.P., Captain Lacey, Sir A. J. Cockburn, M.P., B. M. Willcox, Esq., M.P., Captain Yolland, Sheriff Nicoll, Sheriff Lawrence, Dean of Win chester. Sir J. B.

Buller, Dr. Clark, Dunn, Esq., E. Hornison, Esq., Bulpett, Esq., W. H. Newman, Esq., T. H. Edwards, Esq., J. H un t, Esq., C. E. Deacon, Esq., town clerk, Captain Norton, F. Patterson, Esq., J. Warner, Esq., C. Sea grove, Esq., the Mayors of Christchurch, Newport, Portsmouth, Romsey, Salisbury, Winchester, Newark, Basingstoke, Lymington, Yarmouth, Cambridge, and Hereford, and the whole of the Aldermen and Coun cillors of the borough, with one or two exceptions, &c. At the lower end of the room, over the entrance, a spacious gallery was erected, hich was filled with ladies, who evidently were much pleased with the scene. The MAYOR, in giving the first toast, said that he did so With extreme pleasure and satisfaction, knowing that around him was gathered so large a number of the prin cipal authorities of the kingdom, inclusive of the Lord Mayor of the chief city of the world.—s(Applause.) They were at present privileged by living under a Monarch whom all alike respected and adored, and who truly lived in the hearts of her people. The time was gone by when the Sovereign could not visit the Lord Mayer of London without an escort for his protection from personal danger. Our present beloved Queen could now visit the most distant part of the kingdom, free from, difficulty or apprehension of danger. Ho called on them to drink " The health of the Queen," which was drunk with enthusiastic rounds of cheering, the band playing the National Anthem, and the whole company joining in the chorus. The MAYOR said the next toast was one to which he felt confident they would do equal justice. He was proud to have the opportunity of proposing the health of " Her Majesty's Consort," who had, by his various acts done so much to promote and encourage the arts and manu factures, the commerce and agriculture of this country. —(Applause.) They owed him a lasting debt of grati tude. Ile had won for himself the esteem and good wishes of the whole British people; he had kept aloof from the hotbed of polisis; he had get them all an ex ample, as a husband, a father, and an employer, which they would do well to follow, It was gratifying to him (the Mayor) to witness such a gathering round his festive board as was then assembled in that hall—that being the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Albert.—(Cheers.) It was also pleasing to know that the great industrial exhibition of 1851, which was conceived in tho mind of Prince Albert, and communicated to the Lord Mayor of London, was the means of bringing them together that evening, and it nothing more resulted from the project than the opportunities which had been given to the dif ferent municipal authorities to meet in fraternal inter course, as they had had the pleasure to do that day, much good would attend it. " The health of Prince Al bert. the Prince of Wales, and the other members of the Royal Family." Drunk with great cheering. The Mseroa next proposed "The health of her Ma jesty's Ministers"—a body of men to whom they were much indebted for the services they had rendered to the country. 'One member of that Ministry—a Noble Lord who had kept this country in peace and tranquillity for many years, when they had seen other countries torn to pieces by rebellion and discord—(Applause)—he had hoped to have had the pleasure of greeting at that festive board; but he had been in constant communication with him (the Mayor) till late that afternoon, and important business alone prevented his attendance at the last. He hgearvematjheesmty,sthiveiintoisatsetro s. f„_"S u ir int Al e e n x s a e n e d h e e r e C ri o n c g k .) burn and Sir A. COCKBURN, her Majesty's Solicitor-General, briefly responded to the toast. In common with the Mayor and his guests, he regretted the absence of the Noble Lord (Palmerston), who he knew, from personal communication with him, was anxious to be present that seemed rallying t o v a, value so round f a r its a s worthy ll e could with i evening, not only as an i n h a bi tant of the county, but be cause he saw with infi n i te pleasure the town of South ampton Mayor— parommaontewthhe had been the architect of hi s own fortune, t which he only good of his fellow-creat ures. so of great a e n r com merce, e exalted, a tl d t o a advancenation.

The MAYOR next gave the toast of " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese and other Ministers of the Gospel;" which was responded to by the Rev, the Dean of WIN CHESTER. The MAYOR proposed " The Army and Navy," two services to which the nation was greatly indebted. No one was more grateful , than he was to those Ito whom honour was due; and no doubt many would remember the unkind expressions that bad been uttered towards him for the course he had taken when Lord Gough arrived here from India. He was sorry that the Noble Lord was not with them that day._(gear, hear,) A communication had been held between him and Lord Gough, and, had he been able, the Noble Lord would have been present to confut e the charges which had been made against him (the Mayor). The army and navy bad done much good; but when members of those services endeavoured to supersede the civil authorities, the latter ought to be careful to preserve their rights.—(Hear, hear.) In the case in question, certain members of the army and navy endeavoured to supersede the civil authorities of the town, and to cast a slur on him as chief magistrate. He hoped the services of the army and navy would never again be required; but for what they had done they were deserving of gra titude, and he hoped they would, cordially drink the healths of the two services. The toast having been enthusiastically received, Lord GEORGE LENNOX responded on behalf of the army, and Captain YELVERTON, R.N., on the part of the navy. The MAYOR called for a bumper for the next toast, which he might call the toast of the evening, They had been honoured that day by the presence of the Lord Mayor of London, and he should be wanting in grati tude if he failed to express his sense of the ki n d ness and honour which his Lordship had thereby conferred upon him and the town. lie gave them, therefore, the health of the Lord Mayor of the city of London.—(Tre mendous cheering, renewed again and again, the whole company rising.) That was the most gratifying day he had ever experienced, and he believed that in saying that be was uttering the feeling of nine-tenths of the inhabitants of Southampton.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor had cheerfully responded to his invitation, and the peop le of Southampto n bad g i ven his Lordship such a reception, that he trusted that the Lord Mayor's visit would become an annual o ( ne.— Applause.) The toast was received with tremendous applause, which continued for several minutes. The LORD MAYOR, on rising to return thanks, was again warmly cheered. He said that if anything would tend to make a man dumb, or to prevent him f rom g i ving expression to his feelings , it was t h e manner in which he had been received that day by the p eop l e of South ampton. He really coul d not ex p ress in words hi s feel ings on that occasion. He had been elected Lord Mayor of the chief city of the world—(Applause) —and if he did but do his best, and work in a way by which the honour of the city and the office would b e maintained and justice supported, he should do his duty as well as he could. As to the show of the office, he put that on one side, and was only anxious to do his duty to his fel low-citizans.—(Cheers.) They would permit him to say how pleased and gratified he was at his reception, and the whole proceedi ngs o f th a t d a y. I t a l most made him a proud man. At all events he should return to London 'a greater man in his own consideration, for to receive the applause of his fellow-countrymen in the handsome manner in which toe people of Southampton had ren dered it that day, was indeed a gratifying thing. He again expressed the pleasure and gratification he felt, and thanked them all most heartily for the honour they had done hire. The MATE next proposed "The hPalth of the Mem bers for the borough of S.q.itharnpton," which was briefly responed to by B. M. Wria.cox, Esq. • The LORD Maxon again rose, and said he was about to propo,e the health of a gentkman to whom the people of Southampton looked up with pleasure, to whom they all owed suit and service—" The health f tn, it worthy Chairman."—(Great applause.) He was sure that it was only necessary to mention his name, and they would ex press more in their approbation than he could do were he able to address them fora fortnight. They had done so, and he would therefore only say how thankful they ought to be for the happiness they had all enjoyed under his auspices that afternoon.—(Great cheering.) The MAYOR, in a few remarks, acknowledged the compliment, and thanked the Lord Mayor and his other distinguished guests for the honour they had conferred upon him by their attendance at the proceedings of that day. He hoped the Lord Mayor was pleased with the picturesque scenery in the neighbourhood of Southarep ton which he had that day seen, and with the whole proceedings. He hoped he Should 'see many more such assemblies before the great exhibition of 1851, and for many years afterwards.—(Applause.) , G. LAISHLEY, Esq., in a neat speech, proposed " The Worshipful the Mayors who have honoured the banquet with their presence , and the municipal instit u ti ons o f th e kingdom.' The Mayor of WINCHESTER responded to the toast, which was warmly received. Mr. Sheriff TUCKER, in a few complimentary remarks, proposed " The healthy of the Sheriffs for London and Middlesex," which met with a most hearty reception. Mr. Sheriff .LAWRENCE returned thanks on behalf of himself and his colleague, Mr. Nicoll. They felt highly honoured and pleased by being permitted to be present at that festive board; and, if any one thing gave him more pleasure than another, it was the hope that this first assembly in the provinces of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London with the mayors and municipal au thorities in the provincial towns would hereafter go on from year to year.—(Cheers.) By this interchange of compliments, and these fraternal assemblies, they were doing great good, and whenever this example should be followed by the worthy gentlemen whom he saw around him, he hoped that the sheriffs might be allowed to put in their claim.---(Laughter and cheery.) With refs. rence to the exhibition of 1851, he augured much good from the noble undertaking. People in a small locality were too apt to faney that they were at the top of the tree; and it was only when they put foot to foot and measured their lengths together that they founthhow de ficient they were.—(Applause.) The Mayor had al luded to the festive hospitality of the Lord Mayor. Be was sure they could all, in return, compliment him on the generous hospitality of which they had that even ing been the partakers. He had never spent a pleasanter evening; and, in return for the honour they had done the sheriffs, he begged to tender them their warmest ac knowledgments. Lord D. STUART next gave the toast of " The People," which was drunk with much enthusiasm. W. M. TRAeHERAY, Esq., proposed " England and America, may Peace and Commerce long unite them,"' which was drunk with• much fraternal feeling, and ac knowledged by J. R. CROSKEY, " The Exhibition of 185 t, may success attend it ; " " The Commerce of London, the chief city of the world ; " " The Press," and 'several other toasts fol lowed, and the festivities were protracted till long after midnight. The Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs were loudly cheered on their departure. The illuminations of the Bar-gate were very pic turesque. Jets of gas surrounded the singular battle ments, arches, and windows, so that the shape of them was seen. A dense crowd lined the High-street during the whole of the evening on Monday, watching the Bar gate, the Banqueting-ball, and the carriages as they se; down the distinguished company. The state carriages of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, and the state liveries of the servants, excited the greatest curiosity amongst the poorer classes and the country people, who had evidently never seen such magnificence before. In several in stances the servants were literally obliged to open the carriages, and let the crowd peep in and feel the cushions and ornaments inside. The floral decorations of the Bargneting•hall were most superb, and all present declared they had never seen anything resembling it. A great portion' of the exotics and the moat rare and beautiful plants from Page's nursery —one of the finest in the south of Eng land—were made to contribute to the decorations of the hall. The whole of the decorations were kindly super intended by Mr. Page himself, who is renowned as an artist in these matters. THE PEACE CONGRESS. FRANKFORT-ON-ME-MAINE, Ana. 24. Notwithstanding the , unfavourable state of the weather—and it has been an autumnal pour from an early hour—the meeting was well attended to-day, and the proceedings closed with considerable eclat. I will not say that the impression was quite so favourable as that of yesterday; though the speakers are many, the topics are comparatively; few, and somewhat of tedium is the natural result. The resolutions remaining on the list are the follow ing, viz., the fifth and the sixth:— " 5. This Congress, acknowledging the principle of non-intervention, recognizes it to be the sole right of every state to regulate its own affairs.; " 6. This Congress recommends all the friends of peace to prepare public opinion in their respective countries fur the convocation of a congress of the repre sentatives of the various states, with the view to the formation of a code of international law." A great sensation was created by the appearance in the tribune ot, the Ojibeeway Chief; whose oration has, from the first opening of the Congress, been anticipates; as an extraordinary morcectu. Ile was, dressed in a dark blue frock, with a scarf across his shoulder, after the old French Republican fashion, and the metallic plates round his arm gave a peculiar character to his costume. He began to talk something after a style which may be called " Cooper-ish," and was abundant in his allusions to the "Great Spirit"—his " pale-faced brethren," and so forth. Soon, however, he dropped the purely national style, and launched out into general morals and literature, stating how, while walking round Frankfort, he had reflected on the miseries of war, and linking together as eminent men of mind the German poet Schiller and the American poet Longfellow. His oration was deliver: d in a grandiloquent style, but its effect was rather upon the eye than the ear, the great point being the unwrapping of a mysterious implement which he had carried about him, and which. in the eyes of the peacemakers, looked marvellously like a sword. When he deliberately took off the linen wrapper, and discovered something which looked rather like a cat-o'- nine-tails, and which he declared to be an Indian banner of peace, the acclamations were tremendous. This was his grand scenic effort. Lie should have stopped here, but he did nut, and produced an anti-climax. A very wholesome regulation, published by the Congress, limits the time during which a speaker is allowed to "keep the floor" to twenty minutes, but the " stoic of the woods," luxuriating iu the sound of his own voice, doubled the time. This prefte-ion of words caused a reaction, and the venerable Dr. Jaup, the most urbane President in the world. mildly limited every future speech to a quarter of an hour. Two Germans, 1)r. Bodensee and Dr. Weil, gave in their speeches an official confirmation of the opinion I formed from the previous aspect of the assemblies. I said in my last, that the meeting was not really held in the face of Germany, but that a body of English men, Americans, and Frenchmen were talking among each other with comparatively little action on the Germans. The two German gentlemen to whom I have alluded spoke, one in French, the other in English, in order to be intelligible in the midst of Frankfort. This is a striking fact which needs no comment. The President, Dr. Jaup, is universally respected as a man of learning and integrity, and Ger mans keep dropping in from hour to hour ; but any one who watches their faces can see plainly enough that they are merely idle gazers, with little practical in terest in the affair, zeal being most conspicuous in the portly English Quakers, the sharp-visaged Americans, and the smartly dressed Frenchmen. Dr. Bodensee held in his hand a commission signed by several persons, including Dr. Grimm and the Ministers of Schleswig-Holstein, which threatened to hurry the Convention into an inconveniently rapid applicatio n of its principles. The doctor confessed he was not an ambassador, but still he seemed to hold some diplomatic office, which qualified him to refer to the Congress the whole settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein question. The Congress shrank from the practical display of its powers of amicable arrangement. Dr. Jaup blandly pointed to a regulation which prohibited political allu• sion; and Mr. Cobden, though he had no doubt what ever that the question at issue betvreeß Denmark and the Duchies might be very cleverly settled by those pre sent, suggested that action would be premature unless both parties were adequately represented. The " Com mission" which would at once have made the Congress equal to a great destiny was therefore " burked," to the evident disappointment of the gentleman who brought it. Mr. Edward lliall well-known as the opponent of Sir Molesworth at Southwark, distinguished him self by taking a new tack. From the first the orators have been uneasy at the appellation of " Utopians," " Enthusiasts," and the like, and various attempts have been made to show the inappropriate nature of such names. Mr. Mail, instead of adopting the defensive in this respect, boldly declared war against practical men," who he said ought to be reduced to their proper level. Practical men, so called, mistook difficulties for impossibilities. Those he loved not, but he liked real practical men, such as him who said, that if he had the writing of the national songs be would not care about the Peers. The practical working of the peace principle should be the diffuiing of congenial sentiments. This distinction between the true practical man and the sham practical man was cleverly laid down in a hard dry man ner, and the military condition of Frankfurt was de4ig lotted the dark background to which the group in the I'aulakirche was the bright picture. But whatever the other orators may do, or however clever they may be, Mr. Cobden is the favourite. Peo ple ask which is Mr. Cobden, make up their faces for his jokes, and are anxious to get out of the church when his discourse is over. He evidently sees his hold on his hearers and is not a little gratified, but wields the power with infinite good humour. To-day, when the all-im ' portent hour of one o'clock drew near, Dr. Jaup foresaw :hat a rwtt eat was at hand, ar,d stopped the movement by declaring that Mr. Cobden would speak after the gentleman who was then occupying the tribune, and who was thus admonished of his own lesser power of attrac tion. Mr. Cobden felt that honour was thrust some what violently upon him, and raised a roar by el« elating that he intended to disappoint his hearers by making a very indifferent speech. The principle of non-interven tier!, laid down in the fifth resolution, had been previ ously treated by M. Girardin in his favourite fashion of seizing on one idea, and working it in all its bearings. This he had said was the great principle on which the chief edifice of peace was to be built. Mr. Cobden ad mitted this position, but hinted that the doctrine had created a little difficulty even in th• minds of the Peace Committee. Some of his French colleagues had sug gested that this point of "non-intervention" should not be urged too much, and he therefore detected something like the old system still lurking in the hearts of the chosen. Elihu Burritt came out for the first time in this dis cussion. - His speech', a history of the progress of the peace theory, in which he was particularly anxious to show that the idea did not originate with America, but was borrowed from France and Germany, was delivered with gravity and eloquence, but without that flashy quality which has such an effect on audiences like that in the Paulskirehe. The project for a perpetual pease, which is one of the smaller works of the great Imma nuel Kant, and which proposes a sort of arbitrating Congress, had previously been referred to by Dr. Kreutx oar, a Hebrew gentleman who acts as a German inter preter to the meeting, and this gave Mr. Burritt an op portunity for a German allusion. Some of the orators went off dully enough, but the audience was actually astonished into applause by the speech of Mr. Chipple, of New York, who with his strong American twang began in a most unpromising manner, but made one of the smartest displays yet heard. He took the ordinary common-plsc s of the Peace doc trine, but he worked ►hem in a new way, with a most effective mixture of Yankee humour and fervid elo quence. The steam-engine he called the great shuttle, which was to unite nations together. Then he quoted the words of a Transatlantic statesman, whose motto was, " Be sure you are right, then go a-head." Then came the exposition of works of industry in 1851, and Government are challenged to exhibit the horrors of war as • their works of industry. The style and the metaphors, were novel and striking, and so admirable was Mr. Chipple's management of his sonorous voice in a place where loudness is almost synonymous with indistinctness, that an old German, in my victnity, said with delight, that though he did not understand a word the gentleman had said he felt he was a good orator. Mr. Chipple had moreover- the disad vantage of coming in late, and had been preceded by M. coquerel, a good speaker, who by an effective anec dote had illustrated the horrors of war. When the resolutions on the list had been carried, an additional one against duelling was passed, on which M. Cormenin tied M. Girardin both spoke, the latter being received on , this occasion with marked applause. Then came a vote of thanks to the municipal authorities of Frankfort for their kind reception of the' peace-thakers; and Mr. Cobden caused infinite delight - and astonishment by act ing as fugleman to an English " Hip, hip, hurrah 1" demonstration of gratitude. Most of the Germans stared with•great eyes to see the portly pietists of Great Britain wave their hats and handkerchiefs and utter such strange shouts, while Cobden beat time a la Jullien. One youth, who anticipated every word of Cobden's as something• eminently droll, said, enraptured by this exhibition, " He is always full of humour." A resolution to publish the proceedings at three kreutzers (say twopence) a copy, and a vote of thanks to Dr. Jaup, accompanied .by new Cobdenish fun and additional English " honours," terminated the third and last session of the Congress; which, as a good humoured meeting, where a number of worthy lite-en joying persons say civil things to each other o is a decided success, but which the uninitiated, including some grave disbelieving soldiers, who stalk in and stare, evi dently regard with silent wonder. The meeting next year is to be held in London, and the peace-makers hope that, the Germans will attend numerously. May they not be disappointedl—Tinies Correspondent. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

REVIEW OF THE FRENCH FLEET AT CHERBOURG.— PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.-111 consequence of an applica tion from the senior naval officers now studying at the Royal Naval College, the Admiralty have granted them permission to go over to Cherbourg to view the French squadron assembled there; the Admiralty have also granted them the use of a steamer to convey them there and back. Neither the steamer nor time has yet been decided on. HALlFAX.—Letters dated the 19th inst.. from the Wellesley, flag -ship of the Right Hon. the Earl of Dun donald, state that she was to proceed, in company with her Majesty's brig Sappho, Acting Commander the lion. A. A. Cochrane, to the coast of Newfoundland, on a tour of inspection. Archer screw-sloop, Commander Strange, left Ascen sion for Whydah, July 2d. This new vessel left Devon port May 9th, made Madeira, May 17th; St. Vincent Islr.nd, May 26th; San Medas Island, May 27th; and Sierra Leone, June 6th. Having watered and coaled there, she sailed for Ascension on the 10th, and arrived on the 26th June. The Archer sails well, going some nine or ten knots on a wind in a good stiff breeze, but steams no more than 8.6. She has a splendid lower deck, clear fore and aft, and well ventilated by small ports, which she can keep open in a good sea; her stow age is, however, bad, carrying only three months' pro visions and water under hatches. Henry Willis, AB., died at Ascension, June 27, of pleurisy. Bonet% 3. Lieutenant-Commander Forbes, sailed frogs Sierra Leone, from Ascension, June 2, with boiler-tubes fur the Centaur, and left June 28, for Whydah, where she was to pick up the commander, who, with Mr. Bee croft, has been on a mission to the King of Dahomey, Mr. Gray, mate, having been in command during Lieu tenant Forbes's absence. The Bonetta is t o meet t h e commodore at Princess Island, and then to sail for Eng land, as we stated on Saturday. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Fox, 42, Commodore Lambert, hauled off into the stream to-day. The Termagant steam-frigate is being masted. The St. Lawrence, 44, American frigate, Captain Paulding, anchored in Cowes Roads last evening from the Tagus, and this morning weighed and proceeded through Spithead fur the Baltic. She saluted the Port Admiral's flag on passing. WooLwicti, AuG. 2 7.—The Tartarus steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Sir Godfrey Webster, Bart., ar rived here at 330 P.M. to-day, from the Mediterranean station, and is to be paid off at this port. Immediately on her arrival Mr. Trickett, assistant to the chief engi neer, went on board to ascertain the state of her engines and boilers. The Wasp steam-sloop was taken out of the west-end dock to-day, and the Geyser taken in to have her bottom examined. The Geyser has all her rigging up, and is nearly ready for sea. The Firefly steam-sloop has a number of men em ployed in putting up her rigging, and will soon be ready Nor commission. The troop-ship Resistance, Master-Commander Brad shaw, which lett Woolwich with two companies uf Royal Artillery on board on thu 3d of June last—Captain Bean's company for Newfoundland, and Captain Wright's Company fur Canada—arrived at Quebec on the 3d of August, with Captain Wright's Company, having pre viously landed the other company at Newfoundland. Captain Wright's company were transferred from the Resistance to tha Lord Sydenham steamer for convey ance to Montreal to relieve Captain Stace's company, ordered' from Montreal to Quebec to do duty at that station in place of Captain Dacre's company, ordered home to head-quarters at Woolwich. A gunner of the Royal Artillery was drowned on the Monday afternoon af'er the arrival of the company at Quebec. He had g ue on board the Resistance to visit a brother, and in deseeudirig the side of the vessel to return to town met with his uekth. The boat into which be was about to step for that purpose shoved out, and the unfortun.ll. man went into the wwor. THE BRITISH BRIG FROLIC AND THE UNITED STATES SHIP WASP. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—You impression of Tiluredsy, August 22, oou- ~' ' tains A 2 extract from the Phi?arWplria Amer:can, re cording the death of Commodore Jones, of the United, States navy, and also giving a short (Americana) account of his celebrated naval victory, viz., his capture of the British brig Frolic, when in command of the United States States ship Wasp. This, like all other American versions of the different actions in which their vessels were engaged with those of Great Britain, is in every particular incorrect, and, I am sure that, in justice to the memory of Captain Whin yate and the officers and crew of the Frolic, you will - agree with me that the true account should be given. The particulars extracted from James's " Naval Occur rences" ars as follows:—It must first be mentioned that the Frolic had been absent from home fur nearly five years on the West India station, and with a crew short iu complement, and debilitated from the effects of so long continuance in a hot eiirnbte!, was on her voyage to England in charge of a small c,,evoy. During the passage the Frolic and her convoy en countered a violent gale of wind, in which they sept sihettlil jnadi t er ba m d it ly inyard b ro k en i n two p l aces, and her and an her na damag,s. Th e morning toil l',F:ru witi ti g g. tt id g:i s le o , th w er hirs r t i t li b u e s Frolic's men were busy at work repairing the mainyard, the Wasp hove in sighs, and soon afterwards the aciou cumnueticed.

The Wasp's crew consisted of 137 men, and never was a finer crew seen, and one boy who was 18 years of age. A great number of Irishmen were on board, and several deserters from British vessels. The Wasp had also four lieutenants and twelve or thirteen midshipmen, rated as such, bat most of whom had been masters and mates of merchantmen, stout able men, and all able to take charge of a ship. The Frolic had only one midshipman, and he a mere boy; she had also in addi• tion to her crew one passenger, an invalid soldier. With one exception, which in fact is nothing at all, viz., the Frolic's having 61b. extra in broadside weight of metal. the American had a very great superiority. " Fair play is a jewel," of which the Americans know very little about, or else they would not parade this action as a proof of their superiority over English men.—l am, Sir, yours most obediently, Halifax, Aug. 26. AN ENGLISHMAN. ELECTRO-MAGNETISM AS A MOTIVE. POWER. Professor Page, in the lectures which he is now de livering before the Smithsonian Institution, states that there is no longer any doubt of the application of this power as a substitute for steam. He exhibited the most imposing experiments ever witnessed in this branch of science. An immense bar of iron, weighing 1601 b., was made to spring up by magnetic action, and to move rapidly up anu down, dancing like a feather in the air, without any visible support. Tt:e force operating upon the bar he stated to average 300:b. through ten inches of its motion. Ho said he could raise this bar 100 feet as readily as ten inches, and he expected no difficulty in doing the same with a bar weighing one ton, or a hun dred tons. He could make a pile-driver or a forge ham mer, with great simplicity, and could make an engine with a stroke of 6, 12, 20, or any number of feet. The most beautiful experiment we ever witnessed was the loud sound and brilliant flash from the galvanic spark, when produced near a certain point in his great magnet. Each snap was as loud as a pistol, and when he produced the same spark at a little distance from this point it mad.. no noise at all. This recent discovery is said to have a practical bearing upon the construction of an electro-magnetic engine. truly a great power is here; end whore is the limit to it? He then exhibited his en gine of between four and five horse-power, operated by a battery contained within a space of three cubic feet. It looked very unlike a inat,netic machine. It was a re tiprocating engine of two feet stroke, and the whole en gi,le and battery weighed about one ton. When the ower was thrown on by the motion of a lever, the on gtne started off magnificently, making 114 strokes per minute; though, when it drove a circular saw, ten inches in diameter, sawing up boards an inch and a quarter thick into laths, the engine made but about 80 strokes per minute. There was great anxiety on the part of the spectators to obtain specimens of these laths, to preserve as trophies of this great me chanical triumph. The force operating upon this great cylinder throughout the whole motion of two feet was stated to be 6001 b. when the engine was moving very slowly, but he had not been able to as certain what the force was when the engine was running at a working speed, though it was considerably less. The most important and interesting point, however, is the ex pense of the power. Professor Page stated that he had reduced the cost so far that it was less than steam under many and most conditions, though not so l ow as th e cheapest steam-engines. ith all the imperfections of the engine, the consumption of 3ib. of zinc per day would produce one-horse power. The larger his en gines, contrary to what has been known before, the greater the economy. Professor Page was himself sur prised at the result. There were yet practical difflcul iies to be overcome, the battery has yet to be improved, and it remains yet to try the experiment on a grander scale—to make a power of 100-horse, or more. Truly the age is fraught with wonders, and we can now look forward with certainty to the time when coal will be put to better uses than to burn, scald, and destroy.—National lntelligencer (American paper). THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN DOVER AND CALAIS. DOVER, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.—The long promised experimental operations for establishing a continuous telegraphic communication between Great Britain and the continent, by means of wires sunk between Dover and Calais, were commenced this day at Dover. At one O'clock the General Shipowners' steamer Goliath was in readiness, and steam up, in Dover Harbour, to start across the channel, with all the necessary apparatus on board, and a crew of about thirty men, consisting of pilots and sailors, superintended by Dr. Reid, of the House of Commons, Mr. C. J. Wollaston, C.E.. Mr. T. Crampton, C.E., Mr. F. Edwards, and others. Between the paddle-wheels, in the centre of the vessel, was a gigantic drum or wheel, nearly fifteen feet long and seven teet diameter, weighing seven tuns, and fixed on a strong frame-work. Upon it was coiled up in careful close con volutions about thirty miles of telegraphic wire, encased in a covering of gotta percha. The point proposed to be reached, Cape Grinez, the nearest landmark to the English coast, and between Calais and Boulogne, is a distance of twenty-one miles, so that a surplus supply of nine miles of wire was held in reserve fur the purpose of slackening. The intention was to steam oat at five miles an hour, to pay out progressively the whole extent of telegraphic tackle, and to imbed the wire by means of leaden clamps, of which there were sem! hundreds on board, or weights of 20 and 25 lbs. weight in the bottom of the sea. The vessel vas provisioned for the day, and Captain Bullock, cf her Majesty's steam-ship Widgeon, caused the ti rick of the navigation to be marked in as direct a route as possible by placing a se ries of pilot-buoys with flags on the route, besides being prepared to accompany the experimental cruise with his own vessel as a tender. The connecting wires were placed in readiness at the Government Pier in the har bour, and likewise at the Cape. where they run up the lace of the acclivity, which is 194 feet above sea mark. The necessary batteries and manipulators were all oa board, but as the gale and roiling sea unexpectedly sprung up over a previously comparatively calm sea, it was deemed unadvisable by the experimenter to venture out, end the Operation was adjourned until four A.M., to morrow (Wednesday) morning, when it is expected that wind and weather will favour the expedition. Some interesting► experiments, however, were made upon • small scale, to show the practicability of the plan. A mile of wire was paid out off the deck from the pier to Shakspere's cliff, and the sinking process was proved to be a practicable performance. A communication to the following effect was also sent through twenty four miles of wire:—" Printed by electric telegraph, on board the Guliah steam-boat." NARROW ESCAPE.—On Friday night last an acci dent, very nearly attended with fatal consequences, occurred in the harbour. Three young men, who had been a short distance 4 , own the river in a two-oared boat, were returning through the basin about ten o'clock on the evening in ques tion, when they ran their frail barque against a hawser that stretched from one of the buoys to a vessel lying at the south quay, near Springfield. From the peculiar manner in which the boat struck the hawser, the former was lifted partly out of the water, and turned over keel upwards, jerking the crew unexpectedly out of their seats, and leaving them to struggle for their lives. The whole of the party fortunately retained sufficient presence of mind to cling to the keel until their cries brought to their assistance Mr. Mur ray, mate of the schooner Intellect, of Montrose, who over heard them from the quay, and put out with a small boat. into which the three dripping navigators were received all safe.—Glasgow Chronicle.

BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held in Birmingham yesterday. Mr. J. F. Ledsam presided; and the following report of the board of directors was read by Mr. Morgan, the secretary:— " The first payment of rent from the London and North-Western Railway Company for the half-year end ing the 30th of June last, is at the rate of 31. 6s. Bd. per oent. per annum, being two-thirds the dividend of 5 per cent., which was declared by the lessees (the North- Western Company) at their last half-yearly meeting, held on the 16th inst. The directors expect to have the amount this week (although it is not dne until the 15th of next month), and the dividend warrants will therefore be issued forthwith. With the view of en abling the shareholders to know the exact amount of liability in respect of the expenses which will be in curred in carrying . on the business of the company now that the line is in the possession of the London and North-Western Company, the directors have made an arrangement by which the half-yearly expenses will be limited to a sum not exceeding one halfpenny per share, which will be deducted from the dividend warrants accordingly. The directors pave experi enced great difficulty in getting possession of some plots of land, which has considerably delayed the com pletion of the railway. They have expended, however, during the half-year the sum of 25,4121. 103. 3d. on the works, and there now only remain between two and three miles of permanent way to be laid. The road sta tions have been let, and are now in course of erection, and the directors hope that no impediment will be met with to prevent the opening of the line in a few months." From the statement of accounts it appeared that a ba lance of 9,150/. 9s. remains in the banker's hands. The CHAIRMAN moved, and Mr. SPARROW seconded, the reception and adoption of the report. Mr. ASTON wished to ask whether the London and North-Western Company did not possess a very large surplus, from which they could have declared a much higher dividend? The CHAIRMAN replied that there was a larger sur plus than that which covered the dividend announced by the London and North-Western Company, but it was with the proprietors themselves to declare what amount of surplus they would divide. Mr. ASTON said it was of great importance that the shareholders i n th e S tour V a ll ey li ne s h ou ld h ave , ac cording to their agreement, a fair proportion of the London and North-Western profits.
