FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—It has long been felt in this country, and in every part of Europe except in Germany, that the indefinite prolongation of the sanguinary contest between Denmark and the Duchies of Holstein by the underhand support and reinforcements afforded to the Stadtholderate by its German neighbours, is a gross breach of good faith and an outrage on justice and humanity. There can be no doubt that in pro portion as the German States, and especially Prussia, have abandoned the cause of liberty and improvement at home, and have taken up arms against their own subjects, they have kept open this vent to popular excitement at the expense of the rights of Denmark ; and perhaps they have witnessed without regret the removal of the most turbulent of their own subjects to the ranks of the Holstein army. But this base ex pedient, which has been masked by every kind of dis simulation and treachery, is not the less a violation of the principles recognized by all the independent powers in the protocol of London, and of the direct engagements entered into by Prussia herself on behalf of Germany and under the mediation of England. We have long seen reason to regret that the English Government, from an extreme forbearance to the Court of Be.rlin,allowed its mediation to be trifled with, and did:not showithat it was earnestly resolved to uphold the conditions of peace and terminate this disgraceful war. Perhaps the want of energy shown by this country in this transaction bas led the other great Powers, in our default, to propose a more preremptory course of ac tion, calculated to give effect to that principle of the integrity of the Danish Monarchy which has been formally recorded by the conference of London. We cannot suppose that at the present moment more than a demonstration was actually contemplated by Russia and France on the eastern and western frontiers of the Prussian Monarchy ; and the interference they may have thought practicable could have had no pretence for proceeding beyond the amount of coer cion required to induce Prussia and the rest of Ger many to fulfil their own engagements towards Den mark. The English Government, however, anxious to avoid the appearance of menace to a powerful nation, and to prevent any increased irritation caused by mili tary intervention in so questionable a shape, still adheres to a more lenient line of policy, and still relies on the effect of a renewed remonstrance to the Prussian Court. It cannot escape observation that if any se rious demonstration were to be made on the frontiers of Germany by the neighbouring Powers, that occur rence would at once revive the torrent of national and democratic feeling now pent up in so many discon tented German bosoms—that Prussia would avail her self of such a crisis to play the part of a patriotic cham pion—and that Austria itself would be carried away by the stream of national excitement. A foreign war would be regarded by some of the reckless statesmen who have brought Germany to her present condition as an alternative preferable to the embarrassment and confusion of their present internal affairs ; and it might prove unwise to offer them, on the responsibi lity of foreign Powers, that means of escaping from their own dilemma. But although this country has declined to assent beforehand to any scheme of ope rations which might lead to incalculable conse quences, it is not less inclined than Russia or France to remonstrate in the strongest manner against the double-faced proceedings of Prussia and other German states, which have prolonged, and are still keeping alive, theillolstein war; and we trust that the Cabinet of Berlin will now learn that it has still an opportuniry,of withdrawing from this disgraceful con test. It is notoriously false that Prussia, with her excellent military organization, has not the power of preventing her disbanded soldiery from flocking to the standard of an adjacent insurrection; and, unless she means to carry on by clandestine sympathizers a war she has pledged herself openly to terminate, she is bound to recall every Prussian subject serviug against the King of Denmark, from General Willisen down to the lowest drummer boy who heats the Pots dam March. We are confident that a distinct and sincere intimation of the resolution to use all the means in their power, as a neutral state, to end this struggle, would immediately be followed by the sub mission of the Stadtholderate. She alone is respon sible for that bloodshed and those breaches of faith which have threatened, and may again threaten, very serious consequences in Europe. The remon strances of England, Russia, and France, will not we hope, be the less effectual because they will not be accompanied by any language that could be con strued into hostility against Prussia. No one of those states entertains hostility towards Prussia; but no one will admit that she alone can depart with impu nity from her own engagements to foment civil war in a neighbouring kingdom, that she may humour the popular party she is endeavouring to repress at home. It may clearly be inferred from the language held by the French and Russian Ministers in Berlin and London, that if the Danes should suffer reverses in their unequal struggle, those Governments will not submit any more than that of England to the dis memberment of the Danish dominions by what is in fact a German invasion ; and although it may be inferred, from the reluctance shown on this occasion to concert measures of apparent hostility against Prussia, that the three Powers are constant to their pacific policy, yet it must be remembered that the future lies open to each of them ; that they have singly and collectively recognised the rights of the Danish Crown ; and that Prussia herself, standing as she does on this question without an ally in Europe, can alone prevent the recurrence of the formidable discussion which has for the present been postponed. It is especially to be hoped that the Court of Berlin will not erroneously infer from the very guarded course which has been pursued in Lon don, that this country is less in earnest than France or Russia in upholding the rights of Denmark, and condemning by every rule of moral and political con duct the rapacity and bad faith of the German party. We have already seen with great regret that this de plorable war has estranged the policy of Germany from our own, and has degraded a large number of German statesmen in the estimation of Englishmen, and this has occurred at the very time when the progress of constitutional freedom had led us to anti cipate a more cordial union between the two nations. The ominous combination of French and Russian diplomacy, tending perhaps to some future concert of French and Russian armies, ought at least to rouse them from their frantic pursuit of illusions and their foolish neglect of positive duties; and, as no ex isting Government or nation can set at defiance all laws and all engagements, we venture to think that Prussia and Germany will find their account in yielding to the disinterested counsels of England rather than in provoking the sterner opposition of other Powers, more able to injure and less willing to befriend them. HER ALD.—A Birmingham paper of yesterday gives us the following piece of intelligence :—" We understand that on Sunday next the Right Rev. Dr. Ullathorne will be enthroned at the Cathedral in this town, as Lord Bishop of Birmingham, on which occasion a Pontifical High Mass will be celebrated by his Lordship, and a sermon preached by the very Rev. Dr. Newman, Superior of the Oratorians. Tne see assigned to Dr. Ullathorne includes the counties of Warwick, Worcester, Stafford, Berks, and Oxford, with the administration of Nottingham." Thus there is no faltering in the Romish enterprise. Upheld himself solely by French bayonets, sure of expulsion from Rome within a week after the withdrawal of the French troops, Pio Nono still, with unabated auda city, claims " the government of the Universal Church ;" and, in virtue of that most impudent of all claims, appoints rulers and governors over provinces and churches which he never saw, and of whose wants and circu ms t ances he knows nothing. The question, though a new and a strange one, must be answered—What should we do if it pleased the King of Naples or the Queen of Portugal to begin conferring all manner of titles, offices, and dignities in this realm of England ? It might be thought very absurd, but would it be allowed to pass off with a smile ? 'Would not her Majesty's Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs soon be instructed by the Government to demand explanations, and to l state that this sort of conduct would not be tolerated? But it may be said that we have already received explanations, for that " His Holiness" has just made known his reasons in his "Apostolical Letter," which will be found in another column, But this document, as sent into England, and published here in contempt of her AI jesty's rights, is itself an insult of the grossest kind. In the recesses of his own Lateran, guarded by French soldiers, Pio Mono may maintain that this globe is the centre of the universe, that the sun is only two yards in diameter, and that he himself is the Sovereign of the earth, with as many other ab surdities of the same kind as he chooses. But it is a different thing when he sends his "Apostolical Letter," as he foolishly calls beginning with these words—" The power of governing the universal Church, entrusted by our Lord Jesus Christ to the Roman Pontiff, in the person of Sr. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, has maintained for centuries in the Apostolic See the admirable solicitude with which it watches over the welfare of the Catholic religion in ull the earth, and provides with zeal fora its progress"—and ending thus:—" We decree that this apostolic letter shall never be taxed with subreptice or obreptice, nor be protested for default either of intention or any defect whatever, but always be valid and firm, and hold good to all intents and purposes, notwithstanding the ge neral apostolic edicts which have emanated from synodal, provincial, or universal councils, the special sanctions as well as the rights of former sees in Eng land, missions apostolic, vicarages constituted in the progress of time—notwithstandin g , in one word, all things contrary whatsoever. We likewise decree that all which may be done to the contrary by anyone, who ever he may be, knowing or ignorant, in the name of any authority whatever, shall be without force. We decree that copies of this letter, signed by a notary public, and sealed with the seal of an ecclesiastic, shall be everywhere received as the expression of our will." About a century and a half ago it occurred to the last of the Stuart Kings, in his exile, to create certain English peers • and he doubtless sent over t o hi s friends in England from time to time letters of in structions. But any one who recognised those patents of nobility, or who obeyed the orders given in those letters, did thereby place himself in the attitude of a rebel, and would have been so dealt with by the Go vernment of that day. And in what does the present case differ from that of King James's time ? We know that the pretext thrust forward will be, that the authority claimed .is " only in spiritual matters." But it cannot be too often repeated, that "spiritual mat ters" encircle and include all temporal matters. When, for instance, has it happened in Pope-ridden countries that any contest has arisen between different claimants of the throne, without the whole power of the Church being thrown into the scale of her favourite can didate ? But the "spiritual claims" of the Papacy are in themselves offensive and insulting. Here is this Pio Nono, sending throughout all England the broad assertion, that " the power of governing the Univer sal Church was entrusted by our Lord Jesus Christ to the Roman Pontiff?' Of course every well edu cated English school-boy knows, that it is scarcely possible to put a grosser historical falsehood into words—but, nevertheless, here is the assumption boldly put forward, implying without the least re serve, that the Queen of England, her prelates, and the whole Church of England, are in open rebellion against the Lord Jesus Christ I And then, to add sarcasm to the insult, forth comes poor Mr. Oakeley, and tells us, that we ought to feel it " a compliment" that the Pope has been pleased to honour West minster with an archbishopric, and to send such a man as Dr. Wiseman to fill it I Another class of persons, however, are inclined to pooh! pooh ! the whole affar, telling us that "it is all very absurd, no doubt; but that it is only a change of names, and that we shall feel no real dif ference." These gentlemen fancy that the whole pretence of a "government," on the part of the Church of Rome, is a sham, and that there is nothing real about it. We recommend to their notice some "Re collections" of the late Bishop Baines, which appeared in the Catholic Magazine of last month. This, it will be observed, is a purely " Catholic" source, and cannot be suspected of "Protestant exaggerations." The writer tells us that in consequence of a quarrel and an intrigue at home, Bishop Baines was suddenly summoned to Rome. lie says : " The following is a literal translation of this curious document:— here, require indispensaily the presence of your Lord shipotsrte ated seriou s of aff : irs sl c o o s Le l r ll n u i s n t g rio r u el s ig a io n n d t ß ha e t v. hu L v o e rd t , o — b ikr e yourself thither with all eagerness; since th e ear l ier be take l the more agreeable it will be to the h o ly your arr iv al in Rome.

It might be necessary to appeal to the English Catholic public, or even to the Governmf-nt; and he left it to me to act in his defence as circumstances might require." This will be seen to be something more than form. Observe Dr. Baines's own view of the case. He is alarmed at " the excessive friendliness" of the Italian ePstle. He fancies that he may be " detained" (a la eet in n d a him dy by or an t w s o p , p ea l, if necessary, to and will endeavour Achilli) at Rome ; and h e l eaves it to his friend in England Lord Palmerston against th e P ope !

Russia is to take Sil e sia, we are told, and France the Rhenish provin ces o f P russ ia, unless that power shall prove able to pr event G erman sympathisers from joining the ranks of the defenders of Schleswig- Holstein. We must own that we cannot quite credit the fact of so brutal an insult having been offered to Prussia and to Germany. The conduct of Prussia and the Germans, with respe c t t o H o l ste i n, i s s omewhat ana logous to the condu c t o f th e F renc h, a fter 1830, with regard to Belgium.

If, in 1830, Prussia or England wa s t o h ave menaced France with the invasion of Alsace or of Normandy , unl e s s she de sisted, how would the French have felt t he insult, i a lia s n e s t- and how would they have answered i t? Or suppose that, as ic institutions,having aided Rus.d Spaniards orSicilians to hv l ibe a ra sia were to have threatened to disembark an army in the Wash. Such is the nature of the threat made not merely to Prussia, but to Ger many. Such is the intelligence that this day's post will bear to the populations on the Rhine and on the Oder. The Ministerial Times, in treating of this, the greatest and most outrageous insult that has been offered to an independent nation since the days of Napoleon, seems to admit that it is justified by the conduct of Prussia in Holstein, and that it has been occasioned by the profound interest which France and Russia feel in the subjugation of Schleswig - Holstein. As to Louis Napoleon, what on earth are Denmark or Hecuba to him ? We will be bound to say he values them not the rinsing of a champagne bottle except as affording an opportunity to ingratiate him self with Russia, and to offer the Czar a bribe to favour his dynastic claims. And Russia! Wh y, if Russia was really so anxious to settle the Holstein war, the active interference of her fleet, or of a few troops on the Eyder, would have se ttled the dis pute at once. But the settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein war is not the great object of the reactionary p owers. The great object, especially of Russia and Austria, is to force the King of Prussia out of the constitutional attitude which he has taken, both with regard to his own kingdom, and to the minor powers who have adhered to its union. If the reactionists could force Prussia to submit once more to the old Frankfort Federation, and share with Austria the despotic management of Germany, the ultra-Tory and anti- Constitutional party in Prussia could alone be the Ministers to steer such a course. And with them in power, every remnant, not only of the freedom gained in 1848 by Germany, but in the fifteen pre vious years, would be totally swept away. T o bring back Germany to what Aletternich made it iu 1825, with the popular element suppressed, that is what Russia aims at, as the requisite preliminary to bring back Western Europe, France, and Spain to the political livery of despotism. Schleswig- Holstein is a mere stalking horse to them, and when Russia decoyed our English Minister to sign the pro tocol f)r restoring Holstein to Denmark, she did but trick him into an alliance against the political and re ligious freedom of Germany. To explain the aim and nature of the present combined menace, we must re vert to intelligence forwarded by our Frankfort cor respondent many days hack, and indeed corroborated by the Augsburg Gazette. That active agent gave us information of the congress of Sovereigns at Bregenz a meeting at which Count Nesselrode was pr e s en t. The object of their deliberations was how to overhear the support which Prussia gave to Constitutionalism, especially in Hesse Cassel. To effect this purpose, the Monarchs signed a protocol, which was approved and countersigned by Count Nesselrcele, as represent ing the great Suzerain of European kings, the Czar, pledging themselves to raise an army of 200,000 men, 150,000 to be found by Austria, and the rest by the other monarchs ; this army to be placed at the disposal of the mock Diet cf Frankfort, whose de crees it was to enforce. The attitude, however, which Prussia assumed in opposition to these threats, and the determination of the Court of Berlin to uphold the Hessians, and at the same time to keep aloof from the Frankfort Diet, suggested the necessity of aid from other powers. The unfortunate London protocol furnished precisely what was wanted. England and France were parties to that protocol. If one or either could be brought to enforce it, Russia with France might threaten Prussia from east and west, at the same time that the alliance of Bregenz menaced it from the south. The whole is a mere trick to force Prussia back into absolutism. And it is quite evident from the very tenor of the joint remonstrance, which, we believe, is not such as the Times represents it. The partitioning powers menace Prussia with vengeance, not unless it withdraw Prussians from Schleswig, but unless the Frankfort Federation proves able to restore peace in North Germany. Russia and France, in pursuance of the London protocol, come forward, not to give peace to Schleswig, but to restore the old Frankfort Confede ration. Thus, out of a question which is purely Ger man—that is, what k;nd of a government or a fede ration Germany shall have—Russia and France have made a European question. And this question they have inflamed, and tortured, and vexed, until it has produced a menace so outrageous that, whatever be the immediate result, it cannot but lead to the bit terest and most inveterate of wars. That in the year 1850 the French should have actually menaced a seizure of the Rhenish provinces, and Russia at the same time menaced an occupation of Silesia—these are not merely words, but events, which will sink into the military as well as into the popular mind of Germany ; and we must confess that we shudder to think what must sooner or later be the terrible result. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir,—The only Roman (or, as he describes himself, Catholic) Bishop in England must think but mode rately of the intellect of your readers. I can only suppose that W. B. Ullathorne with a cross prefixed conceives that by affecting simplicity he can beguile the simple. He is good enough, in his concluding remarks on the late Papal Bull, to express his approbation of it, and that he has 6 . no fear or alarm for consequences." Probably not; but we of the Church of England may be allowed to think differently, or we have read the history of the world to little purpose. We do not desire to see the establishment of this local episcopacy; we are unable to see a boon in what we feel to be an aggression, and we pay to Mr. Ulla thorne's expressed assurance that "no political ob jects are contemplated in it " just as much respect as such an asertion from such a quarter deserves. I agree with " A London Clergyman" that the trumpet should sound in every parish in England, and that the voice of her millions should speak With the unity of one against this insolent and arrogant assumption ; and if it be really true that these Bishops are no longer revocable by the Pope, so that we can not act upon his fears, there is nothing to prevent our obtaining a short Act of Parliament to put an end at once to the whole scheme. At any rate, it is high time for all Churchmen, or liberty-loving Eng lishmen, to follow your example—take the bull by the horns, and speak out. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A LAYMAN. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ABERDEEN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, yester day ; Mr. Pirie in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, and the seal of the company affixed to the register of proprietors, the report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN having apologised for the absence of Lord James Hay, the chairman of the company, called attention to the fact that this was the first time they had been enabled, under the power of their amended Act of Parliament, to hold their ordinary meetings in London. Their line was now com pleted, with branches to Montrose and Brechin, and a station at Aberdeen, not, as originally proposed, at the market-place, ut within 600 yards of that spot, at Ferryhill. The Bill which they had brought into Parliament last session had met with considerable opposition from the southern companies, which, had it been successful, would have entirely deprived them of their independence or the control of their property. The inquiry which had taken place before the Commit tee of the House of Lords had proved the advantage of the policy adopted by the Aberdeen Company to de velop the northern traffic. In the report the directors had laid before the proprietors, they bad given an ap proximate estimate of the amount which would be re quired to complete the line, which, he believed, would be found to be correct, within 1,0001. or 2,0001. when the directors met the committee of investigation they had several claims against them from contractors for works uncompleted, which, having been since sub mitted to arbitration, had proved to very much exceed what was really due to them. There was also a large claim against the company from the law agents which the directors denied to fairly exist. In April, 1849, the law agents were changed, and the late law agents claimed a sum of 3,987/. as a balance of account due to them. The directors disputing that claim, there only remained one of two courses to pursue, either to go to law or arbitration, and the latter course was adopted. The law agents then made a further claim of 67,0001., which, had it been previously tabled, the directors would never have consented to arbitration. The arbitrator agreed with the directors that they had nothing to do with that claim, and awarded the law agents 1,0471. in settlement of their first claim, and 7,000/. for business charges. The law agents stated that they still had a claim for 61,0001. for share trans actions, which the directors denied, and the point must be left for a legal tribunal to determine, if the law agents thought fit to appeal to it. Messrs. Blakie had objected, by a letter published in a newspaper, to the statements of the direc tors with regard to their contract. The fact, however, was not denied that, while Mr. Blakie was chairman, a contract was entered into, in the name of his nephew, at 81. 10s. per ton, being 2/. or 21. 53. more than was being paid by neighbourieg companies ; which, upon 3,000 tons, would make a difference of upwards of 6,0001. The whole amount of the contract would have been about 25,0001. or 30,0001. The contractors had nearly received that amount, and yet they claimed 1,7001., 1,0001., and 10,0001. for breach of contract—amounts which, the directors were convinced, never could be recovered. The revenue account for the first eleven months of the working of the line showed a surplus of 22,551/. ; but the accounts would also show them that the di rectors had debited against that sum the interest which had been paid on the six per cent. preference shares to the Ist of November, 1849, 5,178/. ; de benture interest from the opening of the line to the 31st of July, 1850, 6,025/. ; rent to Arbroath and Forfar Company to the 31st of July, 17,975/. ; and other charges, amounting to 29,6161., a balance of 7,6111. having beeen taken from the general balance account to make up that amount. Therefore the six months' interest on the six per cent. preference shares, due on the Ist of May last, remained unpaid, for which the directors proposed to ask the share holders permission to issue deferred dividend warrants as well as the dividends falling due on the Ist of No vember next. The revenue of the last four months, being the first since the line had, been completed, had produced them a clear surplus of 3,4231. after paying debenture interest, and one-third of the Ar broath and Forfar rent, which would give them about 10,3001. per annum to meet all preference dividends, present and prospective, of about 26,0001. There was one good thing in the reserve account, viz., that the expenditure, which had hitherto been very large, had been reduced to 42 per cent., every expense hav ing been brought against them except the mainte nance of way of 34 miles of line, which at present re mained in the hands of the contractors ; and if they had any increase in their traffic, the 42 per cent. ex penditure would not be increased by that item. A working arrangement with other companies was now in course of negotiation, which, if carried out, would so reduce the expenditure per train mile as to meet all depreciation of stock, which was not at present allowed for. The directors, sir. their report, had placed before the shareholders a statement of what was required to pay certain dividends upon the va rious classes of shares. They found that 1,5591. per week, or 1401. more than they had received per week during the last four months, would pay the interest on the debenture debt, the Forfar and Arbroath rent, and the dividends on the six per cent. stock. That was provided they raised the 150,0001. new capital to meet their present obligations. It they did not do so they must continue to pay interest on their obligations, which, at 5 per cent., would render it necessary that the weekly income must be 1,891/. before the shares he had alluded to could get their 6 per cent. At the same time, however, he wished it to be clearly understood that the old preference shares must be paid interest before anything could be paid on the new capital to be raised. The directors were disappointed with the traffic, they having expected that on the second six months' traffic they would have had a revenue sufficient to pay the first pre ference dividends cf 6 per cent., which was not the case. From the Ist of July last their traffic had ave raged 1,6081. a week, which, however, would be re duced as the winter mo n th s approached. He, how ever, had not lost confidence in the line, as he was convinced that they had not hitherto been able to develop their traffic owing to the disputes of the dif ferent southern companies with regard to the northern traffic. When in the corresponding week of last year their line was opened only thirty-three miles, their receipts from goods were 3871., while this year, with thirty-nine miles additional line, their receipts from that source had only been 4871., or 1001. additional. They bad, however, recently en tered into arrangements with the London and North Western Company, which would enable them to com pete with the steam-boats, and carry cattle to London at rates as remunerative as t'. -y ever expected to ob tain. They were opposed for the thorough traffic by the steam-packet company between London and Aberdeen, that company baying a revenue of 54,000/. or 55,0001. per annum, a great portion of which he believed, with proper management, could be brought over the line. With regard to their western traffic by Glasgow, they were opposed by steamers, by the Leith and Glasgow Railway, and by sailing vessels; and, looking at what had been going on for the last two years, he believed that a great portion of that op position would shortly cease. Arrangements were also in course of completion by which a great portion of the traffic between Aberdeen and Hull, and through that place with the midland counties, would be brought over their line.—(Cheers.) By the last Bill they had been able to put an end to the amalgama tion with the Great North of Scotland line. That line, he believed, would be made by independent parties, and would prove of great importance to that company, though be was glad they bad been released from their obligations with regard to it. In conclusion, he begged to move—firstly, that the report be received and adopted ; secondly, that in the event of the additional share capital authorised to be raised under the Act of 1850 being created, and two• thirds actually taken up by the shareholders, the directors be empowered to issue de ferred dividend warrants to the holders of the existing 81. 6s. Bd. preference shares, for thcreamount of inte rest due thereon in May last, and also for the divi dend coming due in November next; and the di rectors be empowered to fix the time by the warrants for the payment of such dividends ; and thirdly, that Lord James Hay and the other retiring directors be re-elected. Mr. FRENCH thought it desirable to have an infu sion of new blood into the direction, and begged to propon the election of Mr. J. Spicer in the room of Captain Fraser, who had resigned. The CHAIRMAN had great pleasure in supporting the proposition, the board having previously requested Mr. Spicer to join the direction. It being suggested that one motion only should be taken at a time, it was arranged to prpcced with that only for the adoption of the report. Mr. SPICER declined the honour proposed to be con ferred upon him. _ _ Mr. WILsoN urged the propriety of at once closing the capital account, and letting any surplus they pos sessed go towards the reduction of the liabilities of the company. He would, therefore, move that no further sum should be expended for the extension of the line to the harbour, and the 30,0001. assets, when realised, be applied to the reductiOn of the debts. After a short conversation, in which it was under stood that Mr. Wilson's motion should be allowed to stand over for a time; that the directors should put a statement in print, showing the amount of dividend due which the company had not the money to meet, and which would come as a charge against future re venue; and that the directors would not take any steps to extend the line from Fernhill without the consent of the proprietors, the motion for the recep tion and adoption of the report was put to the meet ing. Upon which, WILLts moved that the reception of the report should be suspended until the capital account was completely closed. Mr. Lzwlrt seconded the amendment, which was negatived by about 8 to 1, and the original motion carried. The CHAIRMAN then moved the second resolution, for the issue of the deferred dividend warrants. Mr. SPICER could not see how they could issue those dividend warrants without placing them in their books, and thereby making them a debt against the company. The CHAIRMAN said, of course the amount would be shown in their books, but only as a debt against the revenue. Mr. DAVIDSON thought that, if it was desirable to issue dividend warrants at all, the carrying out of that measure ought not to be made contingent on the raising of the new capital. He would therefore move that the proposed dividend warrants should not be issued. Mr. SPICER seconded the amendment, and con tended that the creditors of the company were not en titled to so much consideration as the chairman seemed to think, they having obtained the contracts at very high profits. He thought that if these new shares were issued they might be deposited with the contractors as security for any money due to them. Mr. ERRINGTON (the engineer) explained that, un der the law of Scotland, and the arrangements en tered into with the contractors, the debts due to them must be paid in money. After a short conversation, the amendment was withdrawn and the original motion carried, with two dissentients, omitting the words " by the shareholders," so as to leave the shares to be taken up by any party. The retiring directors were then re-elected ; the Chairman explaining that the directors had not filled up the vacancy caused by the retirement of Captain Fraser, i❑ consequence of the recommendation of the committee of proprietors for the reduction of the board. Mr. Smith was re-elected as an auditor. Mr. Wilson having, on the pledge of the directors, withdrawn his motion relative to the non-carrying out of the extension of the line and the application of the 30,0001. assets, the half-yearly meeting was ad journed, to allow the business of the special meeting to be proceeded with. The meeting having been made special, The Chairman proposed, in order to pay off the debts of the company, that a new capital of 150,000/. should be raised by 51. shares, bearing a preference five per cent. interest and eight per cent., under cer t lin circumstances, to be allocated among the various classes of shareholders—th e eight per cent. to be only paid upon those shares not originally taken up—and the said shares not to be issued unless two-thirds were taken up at five per cent. He believed that nothing so depressed the value of the stock of the company as it s b e i ng borne down by debts, without the prospect of their being paid off. The directors had endeavoured to make arrangements for getting off the stock so as to press as little as possible on auy class of the shareholders. He believed, look ing at their present revenue, which if they were clear from debt w ou ld immediately pay the preference in terest on the six per cent. shares, that those shares now at 2 discount would at once be at par, and be therefore called upon the preference holders to take up a portion of the new stock—the more particularly as it would enable the company to reduce the in terest on their debenture debt. He also believed that it would be to the advantage of the original share holders to take up the new stock, and he trusted all parties would go hand in hand in endeavouring to put the company in a good position. The Chairman concluded by having a long series of resolutions read to carry out the proposition of the directors ; one of these resolutions was to the effect that the deferred dividend warrants should be received in part payment ' of calls from the preference shareholders taking up new shares. This was objected to, on the ground that it would he paying dividend out of capital ; but the Chairman explained that it would net be so, but it would only be creating a debt against the revenue due to capital, which the future revenue would have to meet. After a long technical and uninteresting dis cussion, a division took place on the subject, which resulted in the proposition of the directors being ap proved by a majority of 21 to 19. This decision ap pearing somewhat unsatisfactory to both parties, d to a further discussion, which resulted in the directorsl consenting to the withdrawal of the clause, which, howev was ultimatelyer,wasojected to by y lve som2 w o i f th th t e h p re r e opr d ie is t s o e r n. proprietors, and it [PRICE SD. z t.-' i i /~ . - enti) to allow the resolutions to pass in their original form. The special business being concluded, the original meeting was resumed, and Mr. A. THOM,ON (one of the directors) submitted a resolution, of which he had given notice, to the effect that no railway systematic traffic be carried on upon the Aberdeen Railway on the Lord's day. He con tended that it was the interest of the company, as well as that of the persons employed on the line, that the latter should have rest from labour on the Sabbath. Major CHRISTIE seconded the motion ; and, in doing so, protested against the employment of the ser vants of the company on the Lord's day. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, stated, that the receipts from the Sunday mail trains during 26 weeks amounted to 5291., or 201. per week. He said he held a large amount of proxies against Sunday trains. Mr. REDDISH contended that the Sabbath was ranch better kept in England than in Scotland; and, with regard to the question itself, he w as prepared to argue it upon its merits, but he would refrain from doing so. He believed the system of confining people to their houses in Scotland during Sundays had a very injurious effect on their morals. Tnere was more drunkenness on that day than during the whole week. It was found that great advantage to the working classes in England had resulted from Sunday trains, by which persons were enabled to go to church at a distanci, from the town in which they resided and toiled during the week-days. It required but little labour to convey a large number of passengers on a railway a considerable distance into the country. After some observations, an amendment was carried to the effect that the two mail trains be run as usual on Sunday for the accommodation of first, second, and third class passengers. Mr. THOMSON renewed his motion for the next meeting ; in consequence of which Mr. REDDISH gave notice that he would move, at the next meeting, that excursion trains be run on the Sunday to accommodate the public. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. GREAT WESTERN. —This company's excursion train on Sunday conveyed 600 persons out of Lon don to Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham, and other places ; and the same day's excursion train from various parts of the west of England brought 1,350 persons in wards. The continuance of these trains is taken all a practical reply on the part of the directors to the me morials from Oxford, Cheltenham, and Bath, and other places on the subject of running excursion trains on Sunday. DEESIDE.— A committee of the landed proprietors of the district has just been formed to make a preli minary inquiry into the expediency of constructing this line, for which an Act of Parliament was obtained in 1846 from Aberdeen to Banchory. The committee have received a report from Messrs. Locke and Erring ton, the engineers,who state that they have examined the line, that considerable saving may be effected in the pro posed original coat of construction, 300,0001., that the earthworks may be reduced, and several bridges be dispensed with, and that landowners for eleven miles out of the sixteen to Banchory, the entire length of the line through Kincardine being twenty-nine miles, are disposed to give the land on favourable terms. LONDON ♦ND BRIGHTON. —The excursionists by this company's pleasure-trains from London to Brigh ton on Tuesdays have averaged between 400 and 500 during the last six weeks, and those on Sundays be tween 600 and 800.
