In the Press, LIVES OF T HE QUEENS Op SCOTLAND, and ENGLISH PRINCESSES Connected with the Regal Succession of Great Britain. By AGNES STRICKLAND, Author of " Lives of the Queens at England." " The treasures of antiquity laid up In old historic ras I opened."—BEAUMONT. Of the Queens of Scotland how little is known ! and yet•hOw rortant were the parts they played in their day ! The early—and in many instances violent—deaths of the Scottish Kings caused almost every reign to commence with a long minority, during which the struggle for power lay between the affection or ambition of a mother, a stranger in the land, arriving for the guardianship of her son with the po:itleal power which it involved, and a turbulent nobility, always in search of their own aggrandisement, and. , contemp'uous alike of foreign and female domination. Events of such- importance, in. volvimt passions of such lasting interest to human nature, must render these lives not less interesting than those contained in the companion work of this new school of historical biography originated by the Author of the " Lives of the Queens of Englan.i." This Series will he comprised in Six Volumes post avo, uniform in size with tt'e "Lives of the Queens of England," embellished with Portraits and Engraved Titlepages. Vol. i. will be published early in October, containing the Lives of Margaret Tudor, Queen of James IV. ; Magdalene of France, first Queen of James V.; Mary of Lorraine, second Queen of James V„ and mother of Queen Mary. Price 10s. Gd., handsomely bound in cloth. Volume 11. will he published early in 1851. William Blackwood arid Sons, Edinburgh and London. UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. VALE OF NEATIL The half•yearly meeting of this company was held at Cardiff yesterdiiy-4r. Meyrick presiding. The report of the directors set forth ths satisfactory progress which had been inane in the works since the last meeting. The contract for the construction of the viaduct over the river and:mtnal at Neath, connecting this with the South Wales Itlitvray, ,had beCa let upon advantag ,otts terms; and within the original esti mates. The a hole of the works beneath Neath and Abprdare wer,4 now let, and in an active state of pro gress, widaevefy prospect of being open for traffic in the ensuing spring. During the half 7 year large arrears of calls (amounting to 36,5811.) hid been got in, and amongst other arrears were malzy that had been consi dered almost hopeless. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, spoke in kighly stinguine terms of the prospect of receiving an early legitimate dividend. The sum mentioned a re quir.3d to complete the line betweeu Neathoind Abardare would leave a large margin for the purchase of rolling stock. In conclusion, the Chairman said that he could not but think, that looking to the resources which the Vale of Neath Itailw4y possessed for traffic, it would prove ono .ot the lint paying lines in the kingdom. The report was adoiltA non. on., certain shares were ordered to be forfeited and sold,' and the usual resolu tions were passed. NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION. The half-yearly meeting of this company took place yeaterday at the i Lendon Tavern, Bishopsgate.street; Maier W. Beresfird in the chair. The report stated that since the last half-yearly meet ing the directors had continued their efforts to collect the arrears of calls due• to the company. The result cf the trial of an action brought by the company against an influential shareholder for the arrears due upon his shares had set at rest any doubt of the power of the company to recover legally all arrears of the call. The directors had constepently given instructions for pro ceedings to be immediately taken against all defaulters, except in cases where there were strong grounds for be lievieg that such steps would he entirely useles. It would be observed that during the last session of Par ' liament a general Act had been passed for facilitating the abandonment of cf.rtain railways and dissolving the.com • !rallies. The directors had reason to congratulate their shareholders upon the course hitherto adopt-d at the ordi. nary general meetings,of not prematurely, at great expense and wiAl a doubtful prospect of success, attempting to obtain a special Act for this company. The provisions of the' Act were generally applicable to their company, but the director:; were of opinion that some of its causes were of such a character as to demand their especial and deliberate consideration, and that any hasty adoption of its powers would he highly inexpedient; and they there• fore intended to submit a resolution on the subject, which would enable the directors to take with proper caution the necessary steps when safe and desirable. The bal.stice-shect showed tbat the receipts had amounted to 221,5311., and the expenditure to 192 ; 237/, leaving a balance of 29,3441. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said the directors had conducted the affairs of this company with a view to the strictest economy. The balance-sheet for the last half-year was less than on any previous half-year. Th4y were in this position et the present morneet—they had commenced a certain portion of works, and spent a certain portion cf money upon them, and they thought that further expenditure on the works would not be prudent.—(Hear.) It had been suzgested that they should get an Act specially to au thorise the company to dissolve and distribute the funds in hand; but the wisdom and propriety of that course appeared pestionsble while they expected a general measure to pays which would eeable them to effect that object. He th,n went into the machinery to he made use of under the Act to carry out the abandonment and dissolution of railways, and proceeded to show that it would be inexpedient to apply it to the position of the Northern Celuities Railway, inasmuch as there were many outstanding transactions in connexion with this company. Then there was another consideration, that of entering into Egreement3 with other companies for the purchase of their line; and, looking at all these circurn stances, the directors thought that they could not on this side Christmas prTeed under the proposed Act. He concluded by moving the acio?tion of the report. Some discussion arose as to the salary of the secre tary, and Mr. Smith moved that it bs reduced from 5001. to 3001. per annum; but subsequently withdrew his resolution. The motion for the adoption of the report was then carried unanimously, as also a resolution confirming the forfeiture of 265 shares, and that the directors ba requested to ascertain what terms can be made for sale of the portion ( f the line already constructed, and, as soon as they may deem it advisable, to call a menting under the Act, to sanction the abandonnaerit of all the remaining parts of the railway which the company was now authorised to construct. After a vote of tho.nks to the chairman and directors, ,he meeting separated. AMBERGATE, NO rIN GUAM, AND BOSTON. The half•yearly meeting of this company was held at Nottingham yesterday; Mr. W. Fletcher Norton Norton, of Elton Manor, presiding. Alter the SECRETARY had read the report, The CHAIRMAN briefly proposed its adoption, Mr. KING asked the precise meaning of the word "en gagements" in the following paragraph: "In reference to the balance-sheet, your directors beg to state that they do not intend to make aoy further call until after February next, prior to which every exertion will be made to recover the amounts now in arrear, as also to ascertain the precise sum that may be required to fulfil the engagements of the company." He liegged to Move, in order to put the matter beyond question, the addition of the following clause:—" Both as regards the c )mpletion of the railway and the canal pu , chasea, and than thry also be prepared to suggest to the proprietors the means of meeting such engagements." He thought it was quite time the subject should be taken into consideration. Mr. WILSON, of Grantham, said that he had never heard that they were bound to take more than one of the canals, and objected to the amendment being in the plural term. Mr. HUGH ORENHAM, of London, moved as an amend ment that they should not pay for the canals unless they were Mr. HIBLEY wished to he informed how many of the directors were canal proprietors. The CHAIRMAN replied that some of the directors were also canal soareholders. Mr. KING wished a modifying clause to be inserted in his resolution, but he ultimately withdrew it altogether. In answer to Mr. MARTIN, it was stated that the pas senger traffic alone was equal to the expenses of the railway. The total receipts were, on au average, about 2401. per week. The report was then adopted. The following out-going directors were then unani mously re-elected:--Air. Robinson, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Durham, and Mr. Thornton. Mr. John Swann was also re-elected an auditor. No few, r then 10,582 shares, on which a sum of 33,392/. 12:,. 6 bad been paid, were then forfeited. The total sum paid on shares forfeited by the company now amounts to 38,533/. 2s. 6d. A vote of ttlaaks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. LLYNVI VALLEY. The half-yearly meeting of this company took place yesterday at the offices, 449, West Strand; Mr. W. Mattliewa in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that no material change had taken place in the comnany's affairs during the last six months. The South Wales line had been recently opened from Chepstow to Swansea. , but as no arrangements had been made to accommodate the mineral traffic, and the connexion of this line was not completed, no estimate could be farmed of the effect which it was likely to have on their traffic. The antici pations of an increase on the revenue had been realised to a small extent, and though the traffic had not equalled what the importance of the district had led them to expect, as a gradual revival of the mineral interests appeared to be taking place, the railway seemed likely to prOgress, so as to give them the increased revenue which they anticipated. The profits of the half year available for dividend amounted to 1,5611., out of which the directors recommended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital, amounting to 1,509/., leaving a balance of 521. to be carried to the next account. The claims of the holders of the new paid-up stock, under the provi sions of the Amalgamation Ac:, to be reserved as before. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that he considered the incr ease of traffic most satis factory, though they had not yet realised all that they had expected. During the last half-year they had car ried over their line 239,634 tons of goods, against 200,977 tons in the ettfri , ,pottdin g half of last year, heing en inere ;se of about 39,003 tons. Th e money receipts in the :-e me period have increased from 6,682/. to 7 9391. Af . L:r a short discussion the rapart was adopted, and the dividend, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, de clared. A special meeting was then held, at which a com mittee was appoint' to LAT.° into considt ration the affairi and prospects of the c flaptany. Thr olecling thc:a teparatcd. [PRICE SD. the company, at 50, Old Broad -street. Mr. Aglioeby, M.P., was in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report as follows: " Mr. Stephenson, the managing director, and Mr. George Turnbull, the resident engineer-in. edef, en - barkud for Lena on the 20th of March last, wriving h t Calcutta the latter end of April. " The directors have received a very interesting report from Mr. Turnbull' ae ,to the line of railway which, in nis opinion, should be first constructed; and the directors have the gretfication to state that the report entirely confirms the views already taken by the board on this question. "The board understand that the Government, engi neer has also made a report to the Government of India on the same subject, and that the views of this - officer and of Mr. Turnbull, upon all essential matters, are in per fect harmony. " The board further understand that the report of the Government engineer has been forwarded by the Legis lative Council of India to his Excellency the Governor- General for eanction. In the meantime. Mr. Stephenson has received, through his Excellency's Secretary, ' his Lordship's assurance that his best and constant atteetion will be given to the undertaking, and that he entertains an anxiuus desire to facilitate, by every means at his command, the operations of the East India Railway Company, and to secure the successful conduct of an en terprise in which both the Government and the share holders have so great an interest.' "Pending his Lordship's decision, the board confider that it would be premature to print Mr. Turnbull's re port, but it is open for the inspection of any shareholder who may wish to see it. " The statements which have appeared in some portion of the Indian press, and thence copied into the home journals, anocuucing the abandonment ot, the under taking, are totally untrue. " The directors think it right to correct a misappre hension which has been industriously circulated, to the effect 'that the capital of the company is limited to 1,000,0001. sterling; and that, in consequence of such limitation, and of certain proposed details of construc tion, the experimental line to be laid down by this com pany must terminate at such a point as to prevent its euieg reenuttere tise.',. The iin.e &tat to be made is to be a fair experiment, and is to be carried to "'hitch' a deli-rale point as, in the opinion of the Government of India, will render it sure of being so. If the million of capital be insufficient for this object, new capital is to be raised under the guarantee of the East India Coinpany, on pre cisely similar terms as the original capital. " In a return presented to the House of Commons, in July last, on the subject of ' Railway Communication in India,' is a copy of a dispatch addressed by the Court of Directors of the Supreine Government of facile, on the subject of the contracts between the East India Company and the railway companies, and coateius, in explanation of this particular point, the following extract— "'Clause 17 provides for the excess of capital which may be required above the respective sums of 500,000/. and 1,000,0001., in order to complete the exact length of line which may be determined upon. In the first place, our guarantee extends only to those sums, but as it is impossible exactly to define the cost of the under taking beforehand, and more especially as in neither case is the exact route fixed, and in the case of the East Indian Railway the point of its termination is not even fixed, it was necessary that some provision should be made for any margin either of excess ur deficiency of ca pital necessary to complete these experiments. In the ease of the Great Indian Peninsular Company, the two points of. Bombay and Callyan are determined, but in the case of the East Indian Railway, the starting point (Cal cutta) only is fixed. You will not only have to deter mine the exact route of this line, but also the point to which it would he most expedient, with a view to a fair trial of the experiment, it should be carried, always hav ing reference to the sum which is contemplated to be expended. And you will have to determine„ in the event of the sum mentioned in the contract (1,000,0000 appearing sufficient only to bring the line to some inter mediate point, at which it would be undesirable to stop, whether you will make your terminus at a nearer or more distant point, and to that ,extent increase or de crease the capital as the7case may be, and the surplus or deficiency will be dealt with as provided for in the 17th and 27th clauses of the contract. In the one case, the capital will be increased on the same terms as the original capital; in the other case, the excess will be retuned to the shareholders.' " Upon a requisition from Mr. Turnbull, the board, with the sanction of the East India Company, have sent out by the steamer of the 20th of the present month three additional engineers, and have authorises the ap pointment of a fourth on the spot. The services of these gentlemen will, therefore, be availstde at the commence ment of the ensuing cold season in India. "The board adopt this medium of acknowledging and communicating to the shareholders the liberality of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company in reducing the passage money of the engineers and others who have proceeded to India in the service of the company. " The accounts are made up annually, and, conse quently, are not submitted, at the half-yearly meeting; but it will be satisfactory to the proprietary to know that the interest guaranteed by the East India Company is now accruing upon the sum of 354,567/. 55., being the amount paid into the treasury in London up to the 30th June last, and upon 2,4241. Is. 8d , the amount raid into the Government treasury at Madras. "Pending negotiations for carrying out the details of the contract in India, the company's funds in Calcutta were invested in Government' loans. The last mail brings intelligence of arrangements baying been con cluded with the Government for the transier of these funds to the treasury, in accordance with the terms of the contract." Tho CHAIRMAN said the report so fully explained the position of the company's affairs, that he had only to congratulate the proprietors on the prosperous progress of the undertaking, and the point to which it had now arrived. He wished, however, to correct a misrepresen tation which had been very extensively circulated by the Indian press, and caught up and propagated by a portion of the press of this country, to the effect that the capital of the company was limited. This notion was quite erroneous; it was true that the sum of 1,000,000/. had been fixed in the case of the Madras Company, and 500.000/. in that of the Bombay Company; but this was merely for the preliminary operations and the portion of the line to be formed in the first instance, &c. The di rectors were quite prepared to raise 3,000 Oeo/., if ne cessary, end he had no doubt the money would be very easily obtained. He submitted that the report should be adopted. After a few words from Captain BARBER and Captain ANDERSON, the report was adopted accordingly. Mr. ildoceterTA expressed the entire confidence felt by himself and the shareholders generally in the present direction; and moved a vote of thanks to the directors for the fidelity, zeal, and success with which they had promoted the interests of the company, which was agreed to. FLEETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST RIDING JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Preston; Mr. T. B. Addison in the chair. The CHAIRMAN read the report, which stated, that the junction of the company's line with that of the Preston and Wyre Company has been completed, and is attended with a considerable and progressive increase of traffic. Agreements have been made with neighbouring com paniei as to the rate of toll, and other arrangements are in progr2ss for extending the market for Longridge stone, an article 'of traffic which alone may be expected, before long, to clear the annual payment to the Preston and Longridge Company. The present liabilities on capital account may be taken to amount, in the %hole, to 17,156/ ; and to meet them there is owing to the com pany for arrears of calls, which may be considered good, 13,2891.; surplus land unsold or not paid for, 1,6501.; and stock in hand valued at 3,3351. The directors trust that the shareholders will place it in their power to dis charge these liabilities forthwith by paying the calls al ready made, which, unless some uolooked•for default should be made, will, it is expected, be sufficient to place the company free from debt. The directors have come to a resolution to relay the line of the . Preston and Longridge Railway from Grimsargh to Longridge, from the company's stock la hand. The old rails and sleepers have now been in use above ten years, and were not adapted for a traffic worked by locomotive engines. The report was adopted. The CHAIRMAN stated that he hoped, on an early oc casion, to meet them to declare a dividend. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting terminated. DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION. The half yearly meeting of this company was held at their offices in Dublin, on Wednesday; Mr. Barlow, the vice-chairman, presiding. The report of the directors contained the following passages:— " In submitting to the proprietors the accounts for the half-year ending the 3Cth June, the directors have the satisfaction of being able to announce that there are now thirty-two miles of railway finished —that portion of the line from Dundalk to Wellington Inn, ton and a half miles, having been opened for tho onnveyance of piasen gers and merchandise on the 31st of July, and that since that period the improvement in the treffil has cxceeJcd their expectations. In order to increase it as much as present circumstances will allow of, a contract has been entered into with a respectable coach proprietor, by which travellers going to and from Belfast are expedi tiously conveyed beyond Wellington Inn station, near Newry, and Ported° wn (being the northern terminus of Your railway), by omnibuses, at a moderate charge. . . The result o f the half-Seat's traff i c, ending 30:h June,. is as follows: Passengers' Ist Class, 8,673; 2d Class, 17,166; 3d Claw, 1801 Merchandise ... Mails ...

The di rectors d o not ant i c i pate that your traf f ic will be fully developed until the junction with the Dublin and Drogheda BatlWay Comp.toy's line, by the formation of the viaduct over the river Boyne., and that Of the northern portion of your . line is completed.

The third h Ilf-yearly general meeting of the proprie tm of this railway ivat hold yotorday is the °Mos of z' .. ! 7' '— Months, to 30th .June, amounts to 9,3697, 1 Out of this sum the directors consider &ems(' rasted in declaring a dividend, and therefore a tat ten shillings per share be allocated for pose ..... . . Renewed application. been made to Government for assistance to enable - the directors to complete the line, they have now the pleasure of stating that a loan of 120,0004 hairteese, i. granted by the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, at an -; interest of 5 per cent. This amount, together whir the •aa • calls already made, and to be made, together i4A the _ _ - ) further loans which the company are empowered3cii effect, will, the directors trust, enable them to prosecute to completion the works with vigour. It appeared by the statement of accounts that the total sum received, - under the head of capital account, up to the :60th. June, 1850, was 722,7214 Bs. 10cl.; expenditure, 696.6924 10s. 10d.; revenue account receipts for ten and a half months to 31st December, 1549, and half-year ending 30th June, 1850, 25,3721. 19s. 2d.; expenditure for same period, 16,0034 04. 3:1.; leaving a balance iu favour of the come , pany on the firmer account on the 30th June, 1850. of 26,028/. 18s., and a balance on the same day in favour of the cornpaiey, on the latter account; of 9,3691. 18s. I li;d: After some discussion on the subject of publishitig the names of defe,ulting shareholders, the report was adopted, and the engineer's report was then read. Mr. Fneeicet observed that the contract for the Boyne • viaduct was for fifty er sixty thouised pounds, and no -one would apply for it but a person who was perfectly ' competent to carry it out properly. The specifications were sometimes made out for favourites and certain parties. He had been allowed to go over the plans, and by the next meeting he would be in a position to prove what he stated was the fact Sir JOHN M'NEILL (the engineer) then said that the meeting had heard the observations of Mr. French in re ference to the mode in which the specifications had been got up,•namely, to suit particular parties. He stated • that he had seen those specifications, and he (Sir John M'Neill) called upon him to mention the specification to which he referred. He had made a gross and unjustifi- • ab!e charge.—(Hear, hear.) • Mr. FRENCH—I will never shrink from what I state. I asked two months ago to see the specifications, as I wanted to fortify myself with them, and they were then refused to me &r JOHN M‘NEILL—You stated that yon saw :the specification. Produce it. What is it? Mr. FRENCH—How can I produce it now? Sir J. WNEILL—You have stated a wilful untruth. Mr. FRENCH—Any accusation I make I will maintain. I have been granted liberty to inspect the specification, and perhaps I will be able to do what I say at our next meeting. Sir J. M`NEfix—That wiil not be for six months. You say you know the specification, and I call upon you to name it. Mr. FRENCH—There is no use in talking about it. I have one in toy possecrion. -Sir J. M'NErax.—What is it? There mot be.ss copy _ of it in the office. Mr. FRENCH—Lot the matter drop. Sir J. M'lsleix.a—l will not let it drop; and you should be ashamed of yourself, sir. —(Hear.) Mr. FRENCH—lndeed I am uot. Sir J. APNEILL—Name - the specification, or • I will say yen have stated what ie a wilful untruth. Mr. WRIGHT condemned Mr. French for making such an unfounded charge. Mr. FRENCH retorted by saying that Mr. Wright was in arrear, and was not entitled to be beard at all. The SECRETARY stated that Mr. Wright had paid up , his calls upon Monday last. The CHAIRMAN—I think that it is very unjustifiable to bring forward a charge which implicates not only Sir John M./sT, ill, but— Mr. FRENCH—I did Lot mention the names of any parties. The CHArnmAs —There could not be any mistake. • Every one must know that if anything were done that was incorrect it was done by the engineer by whom the specification had been drawn up; therefore it could not be denied that their engineer-in -chief had been impli cated in the charge.—(Rear, hear.) Sir John M c Neill was quite right in saj ing what he has said; and upon the part of the meeting I must soy that it was a very un justifiable attack upon him, and had been made by Mr. French without being in a position to prove what he asserted.—(Hear.) I will afford every opportunity to bring forward against any person connected with the undertaking any charge that can bo substantiated, but in justice to all parties permit me to say that it is very un fair to bring torward so serious a charge without proof. , Mr. FRENCH—I believe that when I brought forward charges heretofore they were to a great extent true. The CHAIRMAN—To a great /extent they were true, but your press nt charge is quite unjustifiable. Mr. FRENCH—I will maintain what I assert, and prove that I am right. Sir J. M'NEILL—It is absolutely necessary that some thing should be done as regards this charge. Mr. GARTLAN—I rise to order. Mr. French has made an assertion to which Sir J. M'Neill has given as positive and flat a denial as any man could give to an other. He has called upon Mr. French to bring for ward his proof; and he has not any to produce; and I state in the hearing of the chairman that that charge should be aithdrawn.—(Hear, bear.) If Mr. French has the feelings of a gentleman and a Christian he will withdraw ia—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WRIGHT—But he has not those feelings. Mr. FRENCH—I came here, Mr. Gartlan, to protect my property, and have never been paid for making • speech. Mr. GARTLAN—It is false that I have been so. The CHAIRMAN—I have already stated that Mr. French was not justitit d in bringing forward so grave a charge without al - 4 proof to sustain it, and I hope the matter will now drop.—(Hear, hear.) A resolution recommsnding that 103. per share be given to each preprh - trl., in the manner specified in the report, was th,-n adopted. Mr. WRIGHT stated that he was one of the original subscribers; he held fifty 51-area. He paid up all he owed with the exception of the last call. He bad been out of town, and when he returned to it he paid the money. Lie would not hare attended the meeting if he had not paid everything that a as due by him. Mr. Barlow then left the chair, and Mr. Wilson being called thereto, the meeting was dissolved. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH. The ninth ordinary meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of hearing a report from the directors as to their proceedings in endeavouring to break up the com pany; but long after the hour appointed there was an insufficient attendance of proprietors to constitute a legal meeting, and the chairmen (William Arthur Wilkinson, Esq.) said that he would merely explain how they were situated. It had been found impossible to carry on the line, and accordingly a Bill was prompted in Parliament with the view of dissolving the company. The winding up Act, however, being under the consideration of the L. gisleture, the Bill was not pressed. It was now found that this Act was defective, and to make it available for an incorporated company, such as theirs unfortunately war, would entail g:eat expense and cause much delay, and the directors were earnestly considering how they could avoid both, end wind up the company by private consent. The chairman then read several clauses in the Act, to show what' numerous forms had to be gone through, and stated that other companies were in the same predicament as them selves, and it was to be hoped the Act would be amended next session to render it more useful. The report stated that " the attention of your directors during the past six months has been wholly given to the means of speedily dissolving this company. The proprietors are aware that it was with this view alone your directors applied to Exhalent in the last session for powers to abandon the undertaking and dissolve the company,' and that the progress of this all was stayed on the introd uc ti on i nto the House of Lords of a general measure of relief, in tituled An Act to facilitite the Abandonment of Rail ways and the Dissolution of Railway Companies in cer tain cases.' This measure received the royal assent on the 14th inst., at a period too late to enable your di rectore to lay it before you for your decision thereon at the present meeting; but it is their intention to convene a special meeting for that purpose as soon as it can be conveniently dom." In conclusion, the Chairman said he hoped they would be enabled to save something from the wreck.—Thanks were then voted to the board, and the meeting adjourned. WATERFOitO AND LIMERICK. After struggling f.ir three years with the difficulties into which this company has been plunged by previous mismanagement, the present directors have succeeded in riming it from all its embarrassments. The Public Works Lean Commissioners are about to grant a loan, and Mr. Wm. Diagan undertakes to supply the remain der of the money required to extend the line to Fid down (within eight miles of Waterford), to which point the river Suir is navigable for large vessels. The direc tors estimate that the entire cost of completing the line to Watelf.ird %ill not excaed 400,0001., and that the total sum expended from Limerick to Waterford will be un der 950.0001. Shares have b*en forfeited which give a bonus of 40,6001 to the present proprietors, which will reduce the cost to 910,0004 When completed, the capi tal account will stand as nearly as possible-10,000 share—stock, 500,0001.—10 an, 410,0001.—total, 910,000 L —Evening Mail. THE LATE DRIVERS ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. On Monday the late drivers on this railway ad dressed the following letter to the chairman and di rectors : " Gentlemen,—lt is with deep regret on onr part that a dispute should have arisen between your superinten dent, Mr. Gooch, and us, which has made a great sacri fice both of the interest of your property and of our la , boor.
