LADIES.—The high and universal celebrity X which ROWLAND'S KALTDOR continues to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the Skin, Is, during the period of Spring, most pleasingly evinced. This preAratioa, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invigorating, is equally distinguished for safety in application, as for unfailing effi cacy in eradicating all redness, tan, pimples, spots, trickles, discolo ration, and other cutaneous visitations. The radicat bloom it im parts to the cheek, and the softness and delicacy which it induces on the hands and arms, render it indispensabf e to every toilet. To ladies during the period o nursi g, and as a wash for infants, it cannot be too strongly recommended. Gentlemen, after shaving, will find it allay all Irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Its purifying anef re freshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe. *** Beware of spurious " KALTDORS" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health.

This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Iler bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in , his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of Killian Orimstone, Merchant, Nerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846.

I'll tell youths cause —the universal use of Gemstone's Eye Snuff and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, :;atar..ct, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to Mr. William Gemstone, bearing date 16th February, 1525. This was en account if its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach ef every peer family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

Matriculated Member of the University ef Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Mentber of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains ait accurate and aomplete account •f the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a tear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistanoo where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest m edical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great exte n t o f his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

BIRMINGHAM, MARCH, 28.—At Gloucester and Worces ter markets on the 23d inst. wheat ruled dull at the currency of that day se'nnight. Barley of all descriptions was again very difficult to quit. Only retail parcels of oats could be dis posed of. Beans and peas less pressed for sale, but the turn on both was in favour of the buyer. During the present week rather higher prices have been obtained for English wheat, but we have heard of no transaction in foreign. Some barley has been forced off at a reduction of Is. per quarter. A few oats have been taken at a decline of 6d per quarter. At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat from the farmers, which sold readily at an improvement of Is. per quarter, but foreign was no higher. Fine barley 6d per quarter dearer, whist other qualities were as much lower. Oats again rather cheaper. On English beans, owing to some speculative inquiry, the turn was in favour of the seller. Very little doing in Egyptian. We had sarcely an inquiry for peas.

The commission for the county . of Surrey was opened on Wednesday, and thin morning business was proceeded with in both courts ; Chief Justice Wilde presiding on the Civil Side, and Mr. Justice Maule in the Crown Court. The gaol calendar contains the names of'3o prisoner;, but most of the offences are of the ordinary character. On the Civil Side 69 causes are entered, 12 of which are special jury cases, but a great many of the common jury cases are un defended. CIVIL SIDE. PENTECOST V. MEEEINGS. This was an action to recover damages for false im prisonment. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Hawkins were for the plain tiff, and Mr. Sergeant Chadwick Jones for the de fendant. It appeared that the defendant and the plaintiff earry en the business of milkmen in the neighbour hood of Larkhall-lane, Wandsworth, and it would seem that there had been some unfriendly feeling be tween them, which was increased from the circum stance of a customer of the defendant, named Cullen der, having dismissed him, and engaged the plaintiff in his stead to supply him with milk. It appeared to be the custom to leave a quart can of milk upon the lawn in front of this gentleman's house every morning, and when the servants had emptied it the can was replaced in its position, and taken away either by the plaintiff or his servant. One day, however, by some accident or other, which was not explained, it appeared that a can belonging to the defendant was upon the lawn in the usual place, and the plaintiff, thinking it was his own can, took it home with his other cans, and the next day the defendant went to his house and gave him in charge for stealing it, and he was taken to the police-station, where he was admitted to bail by the inspector. The parties went the next day • before the magistrate, who, after hearing all the facts, dismissed the charge, and the present action was brought to re cover damages for the illegal arrest. Mr. Sergeant JONES, in addressing the jury for the defendant, admitted that he • had acted illegally in giving the plaintiff into custody, and that;there was not the slightest pretence for the charge of felony that was made against him. He at the same time urged that the affair had originated, not from any malicious feeling, but that in the heat of the moment the de fendant had acted too hastily, and he said that the character and reputation of the plaintiff might just as well have been vindicated in the County Court, without resorting to the present expensive pro ceeding. Chief Justice WILDE summed up; and The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 101. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) George Sawyer, 24, blacksmith, was indicted for burglarmusly breaking and entering the dwelling house of Isabelle Marie Sacristan, and stealing a paintbox, her property. Mr. Bagley prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock de fended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutrix, with her sister, occupied a house at Betchworth-green, near Dorking, and on the night of the 11 th of February they were alarmed by hearing a noise at the window of their bedroom, and on getting up to see what was the oc casion of it, the prosecutrix saw a man standing upon a ladder, in the act of endeavouring to get into the bedroom window, and a second man was behind him. She tried to push the first man off the ladder, but was unable to do so, and they both eventually forced their way into the room. One of the men had a stick and the other an iron bar, and they both threatened to kill the prosecutrix and her sister if they did not give them money. After a short time had elapsed they went to another part of the house, but upon an alarm being given, they decamped, taking with them only the article mentioned in the indictment. The prosecutrix expressed a confident belief that the prisoner was one of the men who entered the room -- in the manner described, but she admitted that she was very much alarmed and excited at the time, and was not, therefore, likely to make very accurate ob servations: and there was no evidence of a material character to confirm her statement, or to show in a satisfactory manner the guilt of the prisoner. Mr. CIIANNOCK addressed the jury, and contended that the identity of the prisoner had not been euffi• ciently made out to justify them in finding him guilty upon so serious a charge. The jury 'returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Both Courts, at their rising, were adjourned over Good Friday until Saturday morning, at ten o'clock. WESTERN ClRCUl7.—Bodmin. March 26. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MILE) William Lee and William Weekly were indicted for having commuted a burglary in the house of John Solomon, at Penryn, on the night of the 25th of December, and stolen therefrom eight silver spoons, a pair of boots, a waistcoat, a pair of trousers, 11$. in silver, and other a r ti c l es , t h e proper t y o f John Solomons. There was a count for receiving. Mr. IL T. Cole was counsel fbr the prosecution ; and Mr. Collier was counsel for Lee; no one ap peered for Weekly. This case showed the desperate character of the parties by whom the burglary was committed. The usual evidence was the first given of the house having been fastened up on the night before the robbery. The family went to bed about 12 o'clock. The next morning the first person who came down found that some one had made an entry into the house by means of one of the windows, and that many things had been taken away. Upon looking about the house it was found that a large carving. knife had been placed upon the table with the handle outside, so that it might easily be laid hold of in case resistance should be necessary, and a poker was placed near one of the doors, so that it was clear the persons who had been in the house had determined not to be taken without making resistance. The prisoner Lee had been seen at Penryn at eight o'clock on the night of the robbery, and on the morning of the 26th Lee was offering the trousers which had been stolen at the town of Lost withiel, which was 36 miles froni Penryn. The stolen boots were also found in his possession. On the 3d of January the other prisoner, Weekly, was seen at Truro. lie went to a silversmith's there, and asked him to purchase some broken silver spoons, which he produced. The silversmith, however, having heard of the robbery, immediately sent for a police man and had the prisoner taken into custody. The prisoner Lee called his landlord, who swore that he lived at Truro, 10 miles from Penryn, and that he went to bed about 10 o'clock on the night of the robbery. Lee did not deny that he had the silver, but be said he was a knife-grinder and umbrella mender, and had given Weekly two umbrellas in exchange for the silver. Mr. Justice Ear having summed up the case, The jury found Weekly Guilty of the burglary, and Lee Guilty of receiving the silver knowing it to have been stolen. A former conviction was then proved against Weekly ; he was; therefore, sentenced to be trans ported for fifteen years. Lee was sentenced to be imprisoned for nine months. A. true bill has been found against Sir Samuel Spry, the late Member for Bodmin, for an assault upon the editor of the West Briton newspaper. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO IV. STREET. A WIFE KILLED BY HER HUSBAND. .Alexander M o i r , w h o carr i e s on th e b us i ness o f a baker at 24. Bryd ges - street , C o vent-gard en , was p l ace d at the bar befor e M r . H a ll, c h a rged with h av i ng cause d the death of his wife, Susan Moir. The court was crowded with visitors. •It will be recollected that a verdict of manslaughter was found against the prisoner by the coroner's jury which sat upon the body. The prisoner is a man of thin stature and very meagre appearance. John Johnson was the first witness called—Ho said I am a journeyman baker, in the employ of the prisoner. Ou Friday night my master called me at eleven o'clock to go to work, and shortly afterwards I heard my mistress screaming, and my master speaking in a very loud and angry manner. I did not hear any blows, but I heard a " tusselling" on the floor. The noise lasted more than half an hour. The noise was similar to that of oue person drag ging another across the room, and it continued up to three o' c l oc k. I li stene d on the stair to the noise, but did not he ar an ything distinctly, At th a t h our I knocked on the ceiling to call toy master down to the bakehouse. The occurrence I speak of took place in the parlour above me. On Saturday morning I saw the deceased and art: prisoner together in the parlour, but I did not hear her make any charge against him in my presence. At six o'clock in the evening of the same day she was taking some bread out of the window, and while doing so fell down in a fit, and I and her niece helped to pick her up. The prisoner was present, and he said, " Let her wait there and be d—d, until she recovers herself;" or " Let the d—d b— lie and be d—d." I saw my master next day, Sunday, and I asked him how Mrs. Moir w as, and he said he was astonished it had not happened before now. That was all that passed. I was examined before the Coron. , r, and this is all I know of the transaction. When I saw the deceased the morning her eyes were black and cut, and her head very much swollen. Cross-examined by Mr. J. Robinson, who appeared for the prisoner —I never saw my mistress drunk but once. I cannot say whether she was tipsey when she tel down on Friday. She spoke very sensibly to me, and to the best of my belief she was sober. I had been in the service of the prisoner about a week, and when I first went I noticed that sho had a black eye, but no cuts such as I saw in the morning in the parlour. By the MAGISTRATE—I did not say before the coroner that I saw the prisoner strike 1 er on Saturday afternoon, Mary Anne Bryant, wife of Charles Bryaut, of Middlesex -street, S oeters Town, called on the deceased on Saturday from one to halt-past in the afternoon. I was her resond cousin. I saw Mrs. Muir in the parlour, and shortly after I entered the prisoner came in. She appeared to be very poorly, and asked me to request the prisoner, whom I call uncle, to let her lie down, adding she had not been to bed all night, and if she had an hour's sleep she would be better and fit for the shop. I asked the prisoner, but I did not say that she told me to do so, and he said " This is Saturday, and she must mind the shop." She remained about the place after that and did not lay down, and I left her about half-past three. I saw the prisoner box her ears; be said the reason he did taewas because he found a bottle containing about half a pint of gin under the pianoforte, which he knew had been hid from him. He then said, addressing himself to me, that his wife said to him the night pre viously that she was glad ho had come in, as she had got some soles for his supper, and immediately after wards he discovered the bottle, and asked her where she had got it from, and she replied the " Cheshire Cheese." He then said be asked her why she had not shut up the shop as he had requested her, to which she replied she had tried but could not. He also added that ho had been out two hours, and was very vexed at finding the shop not shut up and the goods in the window. This was said in the presence of the deceased, and she denied having got the gin from the Cheshire Cheese, but said she got it from Middle-row, Holborn. I said, "You could not have gone there for it, therefore you had better admit who did bring it to you." She said she was positive she had got it from there. I said my opinion was, that a Mrs. Dow had brought it in with the soles. The prisoner was in a passion at the time, and I saw him box her ears. He then pushed her and kicked her behind. It was not done in a gentle manner, as he was very angry. (Wit ness was here cautioned by the magistrate to speak the truth.) After that she went into her room to dress herself, and I went with her, and saw several bruises on her head and face. She was black and blue, and sore all over, and said her head was very painful. She asked me to wash her head, and Icalled the man to bring ap a quart of water fur the purpose; I gave her the water, and said I could not wash it, as I could not bear to see such a sight, and I asked her to do it herself. I then weet to the prisoner and told him of the wounds, and he said; " Oh, go and look at her, for I am afraid I have hurt her." I said to her you ought to let her lie down, but I don't recollect if he gave me any answer. When I was going away she said " Oh, don't leave me." I returned between 5 and 6. and found her, as I supposed, most dreadfully Lip se y. I saw th e prisoner go in about a minute or two before me. He said to her, " Here's a dreadful thing —a lot of bread has been brought up, and none of it has been put in the window or sent to the cus tomers." I saw hi m t h en b ox h er ears two or three titres with his open hated, and tell her to put the bread in the shop window, but in attempting to do so she fell down. As she fell she cut her eye against some brass in the window, and the blood gushed out dreadfully. I asked the pri sener to pick her up, and he said he would not, and that she might lay there. She recovered for a few moments, and said, " I am in a fit, and a very bad fit too, and far God'6 sake do not leave me Marianne." I then left her in the parlour, and did not see her again until a short time afterwards when she was standing by the sink. I saw her fall gently down by the side of it, and rest her head on the ledge. She remained in that position about two hours. It struck me that bed would bo the best place for her, but I did not say to to the husband, as they lived so unhappily, and I did not think it advisable to interfere between them. She was then placed in bed in the kitchen, but Ido not know who assisted her to it. I remained till near one o'clock on Sunday morning, and she remained insensible during the whole time. I saw her the next morning about eight o'clock. I was sent for, and I found her in the same insensible state. I asked the priso ner if any medical man had ;been to her, and he said no. A Mr. Watkins or a Mr. Wilson was a'terwards sent for, and he came and looked at her and then went away. I remained all Sunday with her, and called again on Monday morning about eleven, when she was dead. The prisoner seemed very much cut up, but he did not speak to me about her. The deceased was 39 years of age. Cross-examined—l called at the shop for the last six weeks by the request of the prisoner, as his wile was very much given to drink. At the time she fell in the shop my opinion is that she cut her eye by filling on an upright brass rod. Elizabeth Meudes—l am a cousin of the prisoner, and lodged in his house. My husband is a general dealer. I was near the parlour door between time and fire o'clock on Saturday morning, and in consequence of something I heard, I was induced to stop there and listen. I heard Mr. and Mrs. Moir making a noise; she was screaming and saying, " Ohl you'll kill me!" and I heard him say, " Yes, I will murder you be fore I have done with you." I heard one of the children scream out, "Father, fattier, you'll kill my mother." I did no: strike at the dour, or give any alarm, because I had heard similar noises frequently before. I have had no communication with the prisoner about the death of his wife. I heard no blows, but I did hear some scuffling in the room. Cross-examined—l can't say that she was a sober woman. I have been in the house two months, but I never saw her intoxicated during that time. Thomas John Muir, aged seven, and son of the pri soner, said—l remember being in the room with my fatter and mother on Saturday. They quart ailed, and he took hold of her with the one hand, and with the other thumped her on the back and face, and kicked her be hind. Before he commenced to beat my mother, he said wicked words—one of them was "ll you." My mo ther, on being beat, screamed out " Oh." I cried when I saw her beat. My mother did not strike him, but kept crying. Before they went to bed he beat her again. Cross-examined—l never saw my mother drunk. When a medical man was sent ter, my littler assisted my cousin to put some leeches on my mother's head. Mary Ann Bryant (re-called)—Said the last witness and his little brother were present when the prisoner was beating his wife on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Joshua Watkins, surgeon—l live at No. 11, Chan dos-street. I was called in to ace the deceased on Sunday morning, when I found her in an insensible stare in bed. Iler head, face, and neck were greatly awoken, and her features were very much distorted. The prisoner was looking on when I examined her, and I told him her case was a very serious one, and I feared it would terminate fetelly. I applied the necessary reme dies, but death supervened. I afterwards opened the body, and it was perfectly healthy with the exception of the contusions on the neck and back, at the lowest part of which there were marks, as if blows and kicks had been used. They did not appear to have been pro duced by a fall. On opening the head, and removing the skull-cap, I found considerable extravavation of blood, and on the outer covering of the brain, and on the right hemisphere of it, there were five or six ounces of coagulated blood. There was not the slightest moll of spirits in the stomach. The lungs were highly congested, but ' teerwie free from disease. I do not think she could have been a drunkard. The immediate cause of death was compres sion of the brain. The brain itself was perfectly healthy. The compression of the brain must no doubt have been produced by external injuries. Cross-examined—l think the compression would not have been produced by a fall. Police-constable F 17 said, be 'apprehended the pri soner at his own house about half-past four on Monday last, hut he said nothing. This closed the evidence. After the usal caution was given to the prisoner by the Magistrate, he said—All I have to say is, that the whole ut the evidence is false. An application was made to allow the prisoner to give bail for his appearance, but Mr. Hall proremptorily refused the application. He was then fully committed to take his trial at the next Old Bailey sessions for murder. Throughout the proceedings he evinced the utmost coolness, and did not appear at all affected by his perilous situation. [We regret to state that owing to the manner in which the evidence was taken it was impossible for the reporters to hear it with any degree of accuracy. In a case of so much importance we should have thought that the too-frequent custom of examining the witnesses in a low, conversational tone, intelligible only to the ma gistrate and clerk, would have been dispensed with, not only for the aid of the reporters, but for the satisfaction of the public who thronged the court.] INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. On Tuesday, March 26, 1850, William Cubitt, Esq., President, ,in the Chair, the, first paper read w a s a " Description of the Chapple Viaduct, upon the Col chester and Stour Valley Extension of the Eastern Counties Railway," by Mr. P. B ruff, Assoc. Inst. C.E. This viaduct was thrown across the valley of the Colne, at Chapple ; it consisted of 32 semicircular arches, each of the span of 30 feet, the total length being 1,136 feet, and the extreme height from the foundations to the rail level being 80 feet. The aver age height of the piers from the foundation to the springing was 45 feet ; they were 27 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 10i inches thick, at the under side of the impost, and tapered downwards to the plinth, with a batter of 1 in 36; twenty-three of the piers only had plinths, which consisted of a set-off of 2} inches, making the dimensions of the base of those piers 29 feet 6 inches wide, by 7 feet 1 i nc h thi c k. Th e piers . were solid below the plinth, but above that level there was a centre opening 6 feet in width, arched at the top and the bottom. The whole of this via duct was constructed of bricks made in the district, being chiefly set in mortar, but the arches for a die tance of 4 feet 6 inches above the springing were set in cement. • The viaduct occupied about twenty months in construction, and cost about 551. per lineal yard. The next paper read was " On the Manufacture of Malleable Iron, with the results of Experiments on the Strength of Railway Axles," by Mr. G. B. Thorneycroft, Assoc. Inst. C. E. It was stated that malleable iron might be dividfd into tcso distinct classes, " red short" and " cold short ;" the former being generally produced from the rich ores, and the latter from the poorer or leaner ores. The pig iron made from the rich ores (under the cold blast process only) was not so fluid as that from the lean ores, but whe❑ converted into malleable iron it became tough and fibrous, though it was troublesome to work at less than a white heat, which bad caused it to be denomi nated " red short." On the other hand, the pig iron produced from the lean ores possessed greater fluidity, but when malleable it was unfitted to support sudden shocks, or continuous strains, and was hence termed " cold short." It was furth'r stated, that in the manufacture of malleable iron very much depended on the quality of the fuel used in the smelting fur nace, and in the sub qaent processes ; also that iron became chrystalline from two causes; first, in con sequence of being made from naturally euld short pig iron, and secondly, from a peculiar manipulation during the process of " puddling." The introduction of hot blast fur smelting iron, rendered necessary a careful investigation of the com parative use of hot and cold blast pig iron, in the manufacture of bars, from which it appeared, that if the same quality of materials was used in both cases, equally good bar iron would be produced, though it was more difficult to convert hot blast pig iron into "number one" bars, and the waste was greater. It was certain, that whilst good grey pig iron could only be produced, by cold blast, from the best mate rial., iron of apparently excellent quality could be made, by hot blast, from the most sulphurous ores and fuel : indeed to this alone must be attributed the bad reputation of hot blast iron, for certain purposes. _ As it had been asserted, that the peculiar charac teristics of malleable iron were to be attributed to the ore from which it was produced, and not from the different nature of the processes used in its conversion, which the author had always believed to be the true cause, he had, at his works near Wolverhampton, made bars of the finest crystalline and of the strongest fibrous texture from the same Yorkshire pig iron. Another cause which induced great changes in the texture of iron, when cold, was compression, or im pact, which would completely alter its texture from a fibrous to a crystalline character, as was well exemplified by the "gag" and the puddling tools used by forgemen, and in several parts of different kinds of machinery the same effect was observed. The author then proceeded to draw attention to the best shape for railway axles, so as to combine the greatest strength with the least material, illustrating his views by the details of a series of experiments made for determining the question. It would appear, that railway axles should be made parallel, from journal to journal, without any shoulder and with just ►uflicient strength to prevent any vibration in ro tating. The experiments showed, that an axle with out a shoulder was better able to resist impact, than one with a shoulder, in the ratio of 155 to 55, and by leaving the axle parallel, its strength compared with the same sized axle reduced in the middle was as 5 to lf. Ttie discussion on this interesting subject was an nounced to take place at the next meeting, of Tues day, April the 2d, when the monthly ballot for mem bers would take place ; and the following paper would be read, " Description of a Lift Bridge on the Thames Junction Branch of the London and Brighton Rail way," by Mr. R. J. Hood. M. Litt. C. E. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. - - The usual half-yearly general meeting of the pro prietors of the Caledonian Railway was held )eiterday in the Frcemasona'•hall; th" Honourable Captain E. Plunkett, R.N., chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, and the minutes of previous meetings con firmed, the report of the directors, which has already appeared in The Sun, was submitted to the proprietor,. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report and accounts, but before he made any observations upon them he called upon Tie SECRETARY to read the following note of the au ditors, which had only been received this morning:— "The time allowed by the statute will only permit of a very superficial examination if these voluminous ac counts, but the balance-sheet truly representa the whole of the ledger balances, both capittl and revenue. I❑ the course of auditing the accounts my attention was at tracted by the large sums paid by the treasurer to the share-office for stamps, the vouchers of which are very imperfect. The periodical movements in the purchase end division of stock, as recorded in the share trunstcr• book, for the purpose of voting in the mearii,g, would also appear to demand the attention-if the shareholders, and the adoption of some resolution to limit the votes for .rock only, which has been in tie hands of the possessors three months." The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to observe that it was due to the reputation of the board to state what really did happen with r fereece to the amalgamation of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, which bad recently formed the subject of a discussion in the House of Com mons. The overture for an amalgamation came from the chairman of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, iu a letter addressed to the chairman of the late London comnitte, and when this board came into office, it saw fit to adopt the principle of the proposed amalgamation, which was that the gurantee stock of this concern should be so reduced, as to place the company in a solvent condition. He should mention, however, that the board were in perfect ignorance of the provisions of the Amalgamation Bill, so far as they re lated to the manner of dealing with the preferential shares. They could not have approved of these provi sions any more than they could sanction a manifest fraud, but though it was not right to force the holders of pre ferential stock to abandon some of their claims, that end might be attained by negotiation, and it was to be re gretted that the doors of Parliament bad not been left open to the company. In the language of a celebrated Fretob diplomatist, had th e b oar d agree d to t h at Bill as it stood they would have committed something worse than a crime—they would have committed a blunder; but that Bill, if it had been carried to a further stage, might have paved the way to a settlement of this much vexed ques tion of preference shares. Many of the remarks of Honourable Members upon that occasion were most un just as reflecting upon the existing board, and in parti cular the speech of an Honourable Member who was attached to the defunct board displayed very bad taste, knowing as ho must have done that many of his former colleagues had not only:advocated but practised re pudiation. With regard to the question of amalgama tion, the directors were decidedly of opinion that it was for the interest of this concern that they should be on good terms with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, and, accordingly, in a single hour's good-humoured chat with that board, they had attained more than their pre decessors had done after long and tedious contests, and an expenditure of a million of money. An agreement bad been made with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Com pany, by which the passenger traffic was to be divided fairly between the trvo lines, the one taking the north and south, and the other the east and west traffic. They were still, however, to compete for the goods traffic, but upon equal terms, and he need not assure the meeting that everything would be done on the part of the directors to secure the faithful and effectual carrying out of that agreement. Now, with reference to the existing state of the company, ho was rather afraid the report would be considered as too candid, but he was one of those who thought that there ought to be no concealments between the shareholders and the directors. The position of affairs, then, was really very serious, and much caution would be required to get the company out of its difficulties. The pressing debts of the com pany were estimated at 800,000 L, of which 137,000/. was represented by debentures. and it was greatly to be regretted that the only r eme dy w hi c h cred i tors of rail way companies had for the nonpayment of their debts was that ruinous one of killing the goose which laid the golden eggs. AR interview had therefore been sought and obtained with the Board of Trade, on the subject of placing the debenture holders upon a more equitable footing than they were at present, and from the manner in which they were received he had no doubt that something would be done for the relief of railway companies in that respect. The invested capital in railways amounted to 300,000,000/., of which the deben tures covered a third, or 100,000,0001., and it was clear from these figures that it was of the utmost importance that the interest of the d e b enture holder should be more assimilated to that of th e ordinary shareholder. Nevertheless, the directors had made such arrangement as an empty treasury would admit of for meeting the debentures as they became due, upon terms that would be advantageous to the company and preserve good faith with the creditor. He came next to guaran teed lines, and at once he had no hesitation in , telling the meeting that all the guarantees could not be main tained. He did not mean to saylihat repudiation would be the order of the day, because there was a difference be tween returning'a man the money or property he had surrendered anu denying to him any participat ion i n i ts benefits or any right to reclaim it. The holder of Pen sylvanian bonds would not consider it an act of re pudiation to have his money flung back into his lace, and yet that was precisely what this board pro posed to do with regard to several of their guaranteed lines. They proposed to restore them into the ssf,l keep ing of their original holders, and when they looked at the manner in which the transfer had been male to this company, the original holders ought to feel themselves lucky that they could recover possession of their property on such terms. Many of the leases and guarantees were carried by the creation of shares one day to be cancelled the next, and seeing that these guaranteed lines must sink or fall with the Caledoe a i m line, it wise clear the b es t p o li cy f or them to adopt i was to fall n with the ideas and t Tins proposed by the Caledonian Board. Most of the guarantees were grossly exorbitant, and whatever parties might say about the threats of litigation which the Caledonian Board held out to these guarantees, there was no blinking the mate ter, parabola' as it might seem, that it was their duty to resist just and undeniable cl)iitne. They could not give one creditor a preference over4nother, and if any one of them attempted to enforce his claims with the machinery og the law, the attempt must be resisted, its order 1,4 Ow* a fair tied equitable distribution of the assets. );1' 'the company. To come, then, to a practical solutio‘uf then♦ difficulties, it appeared to him to be hardly likely that an arrangement satisfactory to all parties could be entered into by those who were personally We tereated in arty of the lines, and he would'''';' ____ suggest that some disinterested party of influence artike___ station, and h av i ng no interest %titterer in the 'disputei'S "et; should be c a ll e d i n to act as an ar bi trator between all the parties. If this plan did not succeed, then the matter would become a very proper one for legislative inter ference, and indeed their would he no ether alter native but to institute a Parliamentary investigation. It was ridiculous far debenture holders or guarantee proprietors to think of eeforcing their extreme rights, as such a course of proceeding could only result in further lo.s to themselves, and utter ruin to the Caledmeion Railwey, while, if the matter were fairly and tempe rately treated, elements could be found which would ul ttenteely yield a return to all parties. Ile sat down by stating the simple tact that the Caledonian line pos. bessed elements of a far greater traffic than it already possessed, and all that was wanted was increased accommodation for developing it, but, if some of the threats of litigation which had been held oat to them were carried into effect, he very much feared that the working stuck would be so reduced that the tradto must be rsbavaioned altogetber instead of increased.. Mr. Comsteuoust entered the following protest agWinet the proposal for dealing with the guaranteed atock:— " We, the undersigned members of the London come mittee of holders of ' Caledonian Railway (Clydesdale Junction) guaranteed shares,' for ourselves, and those whom we represent, as well as fur all those who may adhere to us, hereby declare— " Ist. That with reference to the directors' report es by nu means acquiesce in, but, on the contrary, strongly protest against, the adoption by the meeting of the statements contained in it respecting the Clydesdale Junction line and Clydesdale Junction guaranteed stock, as well as the adoption of elks leading principles on which such report is founded. " 2d. With re'erence to the resolution in which it is proposed 'To empower the board of directors to nego tiate and enter into interim arrangements fur such modi fication and reduction of the preferential and guaranteed dividends as shall bring them within the limits of the company's annual free revenue, pending application to Parliament,' we do hereby protest against the basis on which that negotiation is proposed, and although we do not object to the directors being empowered to nego tiate, it must not be understood that we thereby assent, either directly or impliedly, to any modification or re duction of the dividends deliberately guaranteed by the Caledonian Company and sanctioned by Act of Parlia ment, nor to any application to Parliament for such mo dification or reduction. " 3d. With reference to the resolution in which it is proposed, ' That the expenses incurred by the London committee of Caledonian shareholders be defrayed oat of the company's funds,' we hereby protest against the application of the company's funds in payment of expenses not being debts of the company, and especially at a time when the Clydesdale dividends and us* un doubted claims are due and undischarged. • " London, March 28, 1850." (This protest was received with derisive cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman assured the meeting that Parlia ment would never sanction the abandonment of the guarantees upon a basis of force, but if the Caledonian proprietary were prepared to make an amicable arrange ment, which should secure the interest of all parties, he for one was not opposed to it. In that state of things let the matter be referred to the Board of Trade, to settle the principle and decide the basis upon which that arrangement should be made. Before, however, they could be in a position to go to the Board of Trade the directors must reduce the working expenses., and intro duce economy into every department of the company. Mr. Deere insisted that the principle which ought to actuate all parties interested in this concern watt that of co-operation. Mr. SMITri doubted whether the pressing liabilities amounted to as much as 800,0001. Mr. Bono'', a preferential shareholder, thought the best plan to go upon, now that the facto were before the world, was that a deputation Iron) all parties should be ap appointed to confeawith the directors oualle present diffi culties of the concern. Mr. Wienieters understood that the defunct direction had purchased shares for 359,000/. which were now net worth 10,0001., and he called for some explanation on that subject. He was for enforcing the parties to refund. Mr. Deputy Coutar was ready to join any other shareholders in trying the right to recover. It was quite clear that a good deal of the money borrowed on the preference shares was raised by fraud; the late di rectors knew at the time that they never could fulfil the terms of the contract, and he therefore maintained that the contract was invalid. Mr. HAIG reminded the meeting that the Chairman had told them that the books of the company contained proofs of the guarantees having been carried by means of fictitious shares. Fraud, therefore, had been practised by the late directors, and they ought to be made amenable for their malpractices. Morally and legally their shareholders were entitled to a thorough investigation into these preferential and guarantee con tracts, and he called upon the meeting to support him in demanding it. Mr. MACKMICKAN gave the following results of the earnings of the guaranteed lines:—The Glasgow, Gana kirk, and Coatbridge line earned 51 14s. 2.1. per cent. per annum; the Par/tarnentary guaraattee was 8 per rest. Th e Wishaw and Coltness earned 31. 13a. 7d. per cent.; the Parliamentary guarantee was 104 per cent. The Clydesdale Junction earned 3 Bths per cent. without making any allowance tor the use of the rolling stock of tee Caleduniun Company; the Parliamentary guarantee was 6 per cent. In reply to a quei , tion, The CliAinmAN stated that since the present board had comae into office they had reduced the salaries by 3,0001. per annum.
