FRANCE. At the sittinz of the Tribunal of First Instance yesterday, M. Denten.l, notary, presented to the President the will of the ex-liin3 . Louis Philippe, and the President decreed that M . Dentend should retain possession of it. This document is written by the King himself. By another judgment the President, M. Breton, was charged to translate the register of the death of Louis Philippe. communi cated by the registrar of the di.ttrict of Esher, county of Surrey. This he did, after taking an oath to translate fsitbfully. The Ordre has the following on the attempt made by certain parties to bring about a fuliuu of the two branches of the Bourbons : " A violent act destroyed the Charter of 1830, and overturned the throne of the Orleans family. But, amongst the citizens, who in presence of the present ex perience of republican forms, do not despair to yet see a constitutional monarchy, many preserve the same feeling with respect to that family. They think that if the national majority one day decided to restore that monarchy, it might be led, as in 1830, to apply to princes whote character it esteems and whose ser vices it appreciates. Why do they persist in that idea? Because they believe, right or wrong, that the royalty of tha Honse of (Means, with a regime liberally and sin cerely represi-ntivive, would be the best term of applying the principle the national sovereignty, and because it is the ssrious, useful, and political maintenance of that principle, which they desire before all. But, if the Orleans family abandoning that principle of national sovereignty, of which it was the expression in 1830, should go and range itself und-r the flag of legitimacy, %bat would it have done? It would have renounced the eventualities, which may be reserved to it by the position which the country spontaneously gave to it in 1830. It would thus separate from France, but it would draw France after it? That would be too much to suppose. France, with the Orlsaes family, would not the less remain power fully, and immovably attached to the supreme principle, which by its determined desire will henceforward pre side over its destinies. What, then, would in definitive be the result of the fusion, or of the submission of the Princes of the younger branch to legitimacy? The Count de Chambord would reckon some subjects the more in the person of those princes, and of some friends and servants who are personally attached to them. But the principle of national sovereignty would not be diminished. France whilst regretting the desertion of those whom she once called on to represent her, would know how to find other means of maintaining it at the head of her Government. The fusion, contrary to an opinion pretty generally disseminated, would really have tais consequence; that the citoyems who desire to con ciliate the principle of the national sovereignty with the conditions of a stable Government would rally in great numbers either to the republic or to the present President. It wuuld he M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte and not the Count de Chambord that the fusion would serve." PORTUGAL. Advices have been received from Lisbon to the 29th ult. by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Na vigation Company:-s ship Montrose. The country was tranquil. The Montrose made this voyage a very short run from Lisbon to Gibraltar and back, having spent in it something less than four days, including the usual stoppages at Cadiz and Gibraltar. She lett at anchor in the Tagu4, on the 29th, the Prince Regent, 92, L9ander, Phaeton, and Arethusa, 50-gun frigates. The Conflict steamer, having left for Rio de Janeiro on the 26th ; the Encounter, to get stores at Gibral- , tar, on the 25th ; and the Arrogant, 46, steam-frigate, also for the Rock, on the 27th. GERMANY. The Constitutionnelle Blatter aus Batmen have letters from Salzburg, of the 26th ult., anLouncing the arrival in that city of the Austrian Premier, Prince Schwarzenherg ; of the Austrian Secretary of Legation, Baron Zwirsina ; end of the Russian diplo matists, Count Nto Baron Mayendurf, Counts Severip, Chreptowitch, and Matzoff. B-rlin letters of the Ist instant, in the Kaner Zeitung, state that Lord Palmerston has addressed another note to the. Prussian Cabinet, with a view to induce Prussia to join and assist in the execution if the protocol of the 24 of July. We find it asserted that this request too has been met by a peremptory refuial on the part of Prussia. Baron Schleinitz, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, has left Berlin fur Wend, and the duties of his de partment are at present discharged by Baron Sydow. ITALY. The Croce di Savoia of the 30th ult. contains the following from Naples : " I have been credibly informed that the demonstra tion of the army in favour of the Constitution, majors, captains, and about 100 non-commisaioned officers, have been dismissed the service. Passports have been given to several, who will in all probability proceed to Genoa by the steamers. These arbitrary measures have pro duced a deep sensation in the army." AMERICAN NEWS. PuILADELPHIa, AUG. 20 —Political matters at the present moment are dull and uninteresting, if I ex cept . - Mr. Hunter's motion in the Senate, that the protest of ten southlrn senators against the passage of the California Bill be received anti recorded on the minutes. After three days' discussion, the protest was hid on the table; and thus ends one branch at least of southern and disunion agitation f.r the nonce. Tne Bill to establish a territorial Government in New Mexico has passed through all its stages, and the next struggle between the North and South will probably occur upon aßill now before Congress to amend and strengthen the laws for the recovery of fugitive slaves. The appropriations are passing gra dually, although some of the Hotspurs of the South had declared that they would oppose the civil and military appropriations to the last. Important intelligence reached us on Sunday from Brazil, to the effect that four Brazilian vessels had been burnt by a BritiA steamer. According to our evidently imperfect accounts, her Britannic Ma jesty's steamer Cormorant was going into the port of Paranagua, taking with her several Breadian vessels, which she had captured as slavers, when the come wander of the fort opened a fire upon the steamer, and killed one of the British sailors. The fire was instantly returned, and with spirit ; after which the Brazilian barques, four in number, were burnt. The fashionable and theatre-going circles of the large cities here have had something in the way of alleged aim. con. to talk about, in consequence of Forrest, the actor, having made his " declaration" or "complaint" against his wife, as the beginning of a suit for divorce. This document reads as follows : " TO THE HON. THE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OP PHILADELPHIA. " The libel and petition of Edwin Forrest respectiudy represents: That on the -- day of --, A.D., 1837, he was lawfully joined in marriage with Catharine Sin clair his present wife, and from that time bath lived and In all respects demeaned himself as a kind and affec tionate husband, and although by the laws of God, as well as by their mutual vows, they were bound to that chastity which should be inseparable from the marriage state, yet the said Catharine Forrest, in violation of her marriage vow, bath far a considerable time past given herselt to adulterous practices, aad has been guilty of adultery with a certain George Jamison, at Cincinnatti, in the state of Ohio, to wit, in the county of Philadel phia aforesaid, and within the jurisdiction of your ho nours; and also with one N. P.W ails , at the city of New York aforesaid; and al., with one Samuel Marsden Ray mond, at the city of New York aforesaid; and alto with one Richard Willis, at the city of New York aforesaid; and also with one Calcraft, at the city of New York aforesaid; and also with one John B. Ricb, at the city of New York aforesaid; and also with one Henry Wykoff, at the city of New York aforesaid; and also with one W. H, Howard, at the city of New York afire said; and with divers other persons whose names are at present to this libellant unknown. Wherefore your libellant, further showing that he is a citizma of the com monwealth of Pennsylvania, and has resided therein for more than one whole year previous to the tiling of this his libel, prays your Ilonours that a subpoena may issue to summon the said Catharine Forrest to appear in this honourable court at September term next, to answer this complaint; and that a decree may be made divorcing this libellant from the marriage bond aforesaid, as if he had never been married, ur as if the said Catharine Forrest were naturally dead. " And this your libellant will always pray, ite. " EDWIN FORREST. " Edwin Forrest, being sworn, says that the tarts set forth in the foregoing libel are true to the best of his knowledge and belief, and that the said complaint is not made ou; of levity and by any collusion bttween him and her, the said Catharine, and fir the mere purpose of being freed and separated from each other ; but in sin cerity and truth fur the cause mentioned in the said libel. " EDWIN FORREST. " Sworn and subscribed before me, an alderman of the city of Philadelphia, this 7th day o!' August, 1850. " JOEL COOE, Alderman. " The subpoena issued to Mr. Forrest is male returnable ou the 3d of next month. It w ill be se e n that several literary gentlemen are named in this "declaration"—more than one of whom is knpwn in Ragland ; one, especially, by his agree able volumes. Still it is only justice to say that the public here, or at least a majority, believe that Mr. Forrest is mistaken in this matter—that his ear has been abused with inuendos and gossiping reports against Mrs. Forrest, until he has convinced himself that she mu3t have dishonoured him. There can be no doubt that he believes so ; but people have great faith. in the innocence of Mrs. Forrest, and hope that on trial it will appear. The latest arrival from Cuba states that there has been an emeute at Puerto Principe, but gives no further particulars, except that the troops fired upon the insurrectionis?s, and killed or wounded about thirty. Perhaps the whole affair is doubtful —a rumour got up to stimulate a new invasion. It is singular that in connexion with this matter several Washington correspondents state that the United Stites Government has po.4itive intelligence of the formation of a new expedition against Cuba. One would have thought that the warm reception given to Lopez and his band would have cooled the adventurous ardour of men who desire to rush into piracy, under the pretext of interfering with the affairs of foreign nations, which latter they have not the shadow of a right to do. But I hardly think that the United States and international laws, and the faith of treaties, will again b. br..ken in that way, at least so far as may relate to Cuba. The Indians appear to be committing terrible de vastations on the Texan frontier, many houses having been burnt and planters murdered. The savages are said to muster 6,000 strong, but this is probably an exaggeration. We hive an account from the south to the effect that the Texans have raised 8,000 men for the purpose of taking possession of New Mexico, and in defiance of the laws and Government of the United States. If this be really so, the men had much better be sent against the Indians who are vio lating Texan homes and firesides. But then people here are apt to believe that these 8,000 men are all moonshine. 3,203 immigrants have arrived at New York in one day, on Tnursday last. I am sorry to recor I that, on Wednesday last, fourteen women and children belonging to a pie-nrc party were drowned by the upsetting of a boat at Lynnfield, near Boston. Mr. George Nicholls, of England, destroyed him self at Albany, a few days since. Mr. Barnum now offers a premium of 200 dollars fur the best national song, to be sung by Jenny Lind as an introduction on her arrival in America. A letter informs me that there are 508 ves4els now lying in the harbour of San Francisco, California, and 100 at Benicia and Sacramento. The mortality is still great from the cholera in the western cities ; yet there is reason to hope, from the latest accounts, that the pestilence is subsiding. The sunstroke has been very fatal—thirteen deaths from this cause in a single week at new Orleans, and as many perhaps in New York and Philadelphia. Eu ropeans are very liable to this affection in July and August, before they become acclimated. It is, there fore, unwise to leave their native shores at such times as must ensure their arrival here in the hot season.— Chronicle. CANALS. d' Names of ' Diviend " Dividend Price.

THE " WEDNESDAY EVENING" CONCERTS. - IN THE MATTER OF JOsEFII STAMMERS. This was an application by Mr. Stammers, who described himself as a" Musical Director of Concerts" in his schedule, to be liberated, on sureties, from the Queen's Prison until his hearing. The schedule filed:showed debts for which considera tion had been received from July last, to 3,4721., with no credits on the other side. There were vari ous losses set forth, including a capital of more than 6001., with which the Wednesday Evening Concerts were commenced. The result was the present ap plication, the insolvency being attributed to the re reipts of business being insufficient to meet his ex penditure. The creditors numbered 131, and there were many " professionals" in the list for balances of services rendered. Nearly 1,0001. had been paid as rent for Exeter Hall. The receipt from the concerts, from July to the end of 1849, were 1,4501., and in the present year 2,2261. The expenses were consi derable. There was one item in the account of 3,153/. as having been paid to "artistes." In answer to the questions of the Learned Com missioner, the insolvent said he was2a musical director of concerts, and also a musicseller in Duke -street, Bloomsbury. He had petitioned last month, under the Private Arrangement Act, the Court of B ink ruptcy, and as his debts were the present amount Mr. CommiFsioner Fane had dismissed his petition. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER remarked that the debts for which consideration had been received were 3,4721, and there was not a single debt owing to him. The insolvent said such was the case; his businesss was a ready money one. The CHIkF COMMISSIONRR, referring to the ba lance-sheet, remarked that in th e p resent year 2 , 226/ . had been received from concerts. He inquired whether the insolvent had any musical instruments. The insolvent answered that he never bad any. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER wished to know what was meant by an item of losses sustained by concerts which had not taken place. The insolvent explained that he was to give a series of concerts, four of which did not take place, hut as there were expenses incurred on them, he had esti mated the loss sustained. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he perceived that he had borrowed a good deal of money. The insolvent replied that he had done so. CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Have you no property at all ? Insolvent—None. I lost it all by the specu lation. To further interrogatories he said he had 6601. in money and property in October last, all of which had gone. His furniture had be( n seized and sold by Nathan, the Sheriff's officer, fur money advanced, and his father-in-law had purchased the furniture and al lowed his family the use of the same. He had made out his schedule from his cash-laJok, which was the only book he kept, and about 200 receipts for money, which receipts he had filed in the court. He was a married man with five children. There were three detainers against him at the prison. His Hozioun said the Court would expect, on the hearing, proof to be given of the sale and purchase of the furniture by the father-in-law, as the same fur• niture had belonged to the insolvent up to March or April het. The proposed bail were examined. Mr. Simmonds, a silversmith, in Southampton-row, Bloomsbury, was one, and Mr. Palmer, a hat manufacturer, the other. They proposed to jiisify, hi the sum of 1,0001., for the appearance of Mr. Stammers ou the day appointed for his hearing. In reply to the COURT, Mr. Simmonds said he was a creditor to between 1001. and 2001. Ihe CHIEF COMMISSIONER asked him whether he held any property belonging to the insolvent ? Mr. Sim:wilds said he h,d some fittings in his p,,s session. He had fitted up Exeter. hall fur the con certs, and was now a creditor. The value of the fit tings was 51. or 101., and he had a lien of 1601. His HONOUR called the attention of the proposed sureties to an omission in butb their affidavits as to the period of their residence in the places of business. There was a blank iu bath the affidavits. Mr. Simmonds acknowledged that he had omitted to fill it up. He had resided twenty-six years in his present residence ; and Mr. Palmer said he had looked more attentively to the other part of the document. The COURT said affidavits were serious matters, and under the circumstances they might pass on being re-sworn. The proposed sureties amended their affidavits, and signed the recognizance in the sum of 1.0001. The discharge was ordered until the Ist of Novem ber, when the hearing will take place. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Howard Augustus Styles, of Camden-town, chemist, was brought up in the custody of fiuggett, the officer, for final examination, charged with. having forged two bills of exchange, one for 200/., and the other for 3001., upon the London and County Bank, about four months ago. The following is the addttional evidence : Mr. Charles Bailey, of Swanscombe, in the county of Kent, said I know the prisoner. He had not about the month of May sold any land to me. I am sorry to say I did not give my ace, ptances for the amount of 700/. to him or to any other man. The accept ance to this bill for 3001. is not in my handwriting. I did not authorise him or any other person to accept it for me. I never heard that there was any other gentleman of the name of Bailey in Swanscombe than myself. I keep an account with the Graves-2nd branch of the London and County Bank. The prisoner said he wished for legal assistance, awl hoped the Alderman would remand him. Ile had no idea of shirking a ses.,ion, but he b e li eve d th a t a solicitor would obviate the neces*ity of a committal. Alderman GIBES—I cannot think of remanding you, except you show me good reason for such a course. The Prisoner —I did not expect to be brought up to-clay, and I require the pre=ence of an attorney. Alderman Guans—The evidence is complete, and whatever your attorney might say upon the subject could not have the effect of inducing me to dispose of the case otherwise than by sending it to the Old Bailey. The Prisoner —I consider it is within the range of possibility that if my attorney were present I might not be committed up on this charge. Alderman Grinns—Do you wish to ask Mr. Bailey any question? The Prisoner —No ; I cannot ask oquuresrtehl)antsivwhich my osi tion s. Thatattorney will night dep a e s a k considering d , upon what my attorney might urge. Alderman G113133—1n such a case what he might urge would not influence me. You must go before another tribunal ; I have no alternative. The prisoner was then committed for trial. Ann At Garay, Jane Hales, and Betsey Batsyan, were brought before Alderman Gibbs, charged with having robbed a gentleman of five sovereigns and some silver. _ _ _ The case excited much interest, in consequence of the belief that the complainant had been thrown into a state of insensibility by the sudden applicAtion of chloroform. The complainant said—Yesterday fortnight I met Ann M'Carthy in Whitechapel, and was induced by her to h h e o usseeo second n n d S ti o o m o r e saentd i n I u c t h e a s r gelapsed atbefore foundl wit h ha v h i e n r g h r a o n b d b e i nd hales. aclcvoomwpaennyt intoher taoroaocmoffoene n street, kept, as I am given t o un d erstan d, b y J ane m ve y ry p o fe c w ke m t. me, and opened the door and called for assistance. I then heard footsteps on the stairs, and I saw M'Car thy swallow a sovereign. At that moment Jane Hales, who is, I am given to understand, the landlady of the coffee-house, came up to me, followed by the third prisoner, and put her hand across my shoulder. The effect of the movement was instantaneous. I be came at that moment insensible, and I continued in that state until six or seven o'clock next evening. I then found myself at home at Stepney in bed. I had lost five sovereigns and 12s. in silver, and a white pocket-handkerchief. Alderman Glass—Had you been drinking? Com plainant—l had supped in Surrey, and had taken but one glass of brandv-and-water with my supper. Alderman GIBBS—You are sure that the prisoner Hales is the person who put her hand across your shoulder ? Complainant-1 have not the least doubt of it. It came upon me like a clap of thunder. Alderman Ginns—Who took you home ? Com plainant —I was found lying in a state of insensi bility, as I have been told, in a place called Lady Lake's-grove, which is near my residence, by some persons who had some knowledge of me, and con veyed me home. The spot where I lay is between two very high walls, an d extremely dark. I found that my pocket-b oo k had been examined, for all the papers in it were turned topsy-turvy—none of them were missing, for they were not convertible into money. Alderman Grass—How do you know that Ann McCarthy is the fen - tale with whom you went to tha house ? Complainant—l have been ever since en deavouring to find out the woman who induced me to accompany her. At lust I met her last night. I was in diqgniso at the time, and had communicated upon the subject with a police serjeant, who advised me how to proceed, and was at hand to assist me. When I spoke to her she asked me to go to the very coffee house in Sonaerset•street wher ? she had robbed me, and when we went into the room she appeared to be very anxious to go for some tea, and no doubt she meant to administer something calculated to make me insensible. The sergeant and another policeman made their appearance, and took the three women, who were all in the house, into custody. Alderman GinnsWbat did the woman of the house do when she was informed that you were the gentleman who had been robbed there ? Complain ant—She was so much agitated that she sunk down on the bench, as the policeman can state. Th 3 prisoner M4CArthy sail—Why, I never saw the tr.P.n before list ni f 4ht in all my life, aril then he came up to me and asked me to have something to drink. I wanted him to go into a public house, hut ha refused, and he then brought me to Somerset street to the coffee-house, wbeie I hid rn-vtr been before, and we had not been there a tnioute when the policeman came into the house And he gave me in charge. Jane Ilsles, the landlady, said solemnly that she never bad seen the gentleman before he walked in on the previous night, and then he spoke of having been robbed of only one sovereign and some shillings, but she knew nothing of him or any robbery. The' police-sergeant said the complainant had pointed out the landlady as the person who hid put her arm round his shoulder before Ann M Carthy was found by him, but it was considered desirable to wait till both could b secured together. The coffee house was No. 37, S tmerst-t•street, and w,, , ,ess re collected that about two years ago a robi)ery wio committed upon a gentleman there. The prisoners were rerwinded BOW-STREET. Joseph Murphy, aged 15 years, and Jeremiah Hen 71,ss?y, aged 14 year•, wore charged with stealing a quantity of coals from the barges of Messrs. Smith and Sharp. _ _ Falconer, one of the constables of the Thames po lice, said about seven o', - ileck on Tuesday evening he saw the two prisoners lurking on the shore, near the coal barges belonging to Ales,rs. Smith and Sharp. He watched them, and saw them fill a basket with coals, which they took- -out of one of the barges. When they sa w witness they threw the coals into the mud, and ran away. Witness caught them, and picked up the coals, which weighed 128!b.. The clerk said the barges were always swarmed with boys, and they were robbed of coals to an enormous extent. Mr. lIALL said the coals were always exposed, and it was a temptation for thieves and for poor people generally. The barges ought to be constantly watched ; and if he hal the power he would fine all owners of property who did not have that property secured to prevent robberies. The clerk said it was impossible to prevent rob beries of these descriptions. If one barge was watched the others would be robbed by boys who conc?aled themselves under the barges, and were not observed by the men. Mr. HALL said he had power to have the pri soners whipped for this offence, besides imprisonment. As they had not been in custody before, he should only commit them for seven days ; but if they were brought before him again he should certainly exe cute his full power. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Abraham Simmons, landlord of the Surrey Coal-hole, Blackfriars-road, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick, to show cause against an order of affiliation applied for against him by Alice Hughes, who alleged that he was the father of her illegitimate child. Alice Hughes, who stated that she was a single woman, but had passed at one time as a married woman, swore that an intercourse had formerly sub sisted between the defendant and herself, the result of which was the i n f an t s h e t h en h a d in her arms. Mr. Clarkson, who attended for the defendant, cross-examined the complainant, and elicited several discrepancies in her evidence. The complainant called a woman named Reynolds to prove that the defendant had admitted intercourse on one occasi.w, but the witness denied that any such admission had been made by the defendant to her. Mr. HARDWICK dismissed the case. The complainant, who appeared half distracted at this decision, swore that she would destroy herself and the infant also. She had no mans of supporting herself, and with the tie of the child it was impossible she could get either work or a situation. The complainant then suddenly precipitated herself •m the defendant and seivfd him by the hair, struck him violently several times about the head, declaring she would do him some mischief, for he well knew he was the father of her child, and if any further proof were wanting it was only necessary to look at the infant's features to see the Jew lineaments of the father. The complainant was put out of the court, and Mr. Simmons waited a short time, and then left. He came back almost instantly and complained that he had again been assaulted, and now he asked for pro tection. He was the father of a family, and the complainant threatened to come and annoy him in his business. Mr. Clarkson said his client must have protection from the violence and threats of the woman. He must observe he was prepared with evidence not only to prove who was not the father of the child, but who was the father. Mr. llartuwicK would be ready to afford the de• fendant any protection he might need, in case the violence was repeated. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. Toe 28th half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Manchester 'yesterday. There was a large attendance of proprietors. Mr. Henry Houldsworth presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business ( f the meeting, said he felt that there could at the present meeting be but one question upon which any con siderable difference of opinion could exist, and he hash such a vivid recollection of the circumstances of the last meeting, when considerable irregularity took place, that he should, so far as he could as chairman, insist upon a greater degree of order being kept. Mr. DUNSTAN, the secretary, then read the report, which stated that the amount received on calls to the 30th of June was 7,558,3621 ; 6 per cent. iireference stock, 793,265/. ; loa ns covere d by shares, 1,299,9451.; loans not covered by shares, 1.575 6101. : total re ceived, 11,227,183/. ; calls in arrear, 293,6831. The amount of capital expended and chargeable to re venue on the 30th of June was 9,700,0001., being an increase of 1,000,690/. during the past six months. The total receipts on revenue account during the half-year amounted to 330,9171, and the disburse ments to 146,1921., including 10,9101. for rates and taxes. The effect of the opening of new branches, in increasing temporarily the proportion of working ex penses to receipts, adverted to in the last report, still operates to some extent, but will diminish in the course of next veer; and the advance in rates, authorised by the Act of Parliament obtained in the last session, will all tend to lessen the proportion of working expenses for the future. The directors are glad to report that the Bill which they introduced into Parliament for an in• crease of rates has received the Royal assent. When the company decided, in 1844, to promote and take part in those extensions which occupied so much of their time and attention in subsequent sessions of Par liament, they proceeded on the understanding derived from the reports of Mr. Gladstone's Committee of that year, that the Legislature would act on the prin ciple therein recommended, of discouraging the outlay of double capital for one and the same object, by which course the traffic would have been less subdi vided, and the then existing companies enabled, through the concentration of the business on a smaller number of lines, to work at lower rates. But since the wise suggestions of the Committee, and the en larged views of the Board of Trade, under Lord Dal housie, were altogether disregarded by Parliament, and the undue multiplication of parallel lines has not only restricted, but in too many cases swept away profit, the directors thought they could appeal with justice to Parliament to rectify, to some ex tent at least, by a partial restoration of rates, the error committed. In this hope, notwithstanding the adverse report of the R alway Commissioners, they have not been disappointed, and they feel satisfaction at the result, not alone because of the benefit the pro prietors may derive from the measure, but also be it may be taken as an evidence that Parliament at all events is no longer of opinion that so great and successful a ey stem of intercommunication, costing hundred of millions of money, altogether the result of private enterprise, and far surpassing the united public works of all preceding times, should continue unremunerative through restrictions imposed under erroneous views of what the railway system could afford. The great desideratum towards closing the capital account—viz., the completion of the works in progress—is nearly arrived at, the whole of the works which the company had in hand, with the ex ception of about two and a half miles between Halifax and Sowerby-bridge, being now open for traffic. The portion of unfinished line alluded to, together with a diversion of two and a half miles of the Preston and Wyre line, now making by the London and North- Western Company and this company at Fleetwood, comprise all that now remains to he opened, and will be completed within the present year. Under these circumstances, it is proposed, that from the present time the total capital shown to have been ex periled at the commencement of each half-year shall he taken as the capital chargeable against the revenue of such half-year. Thus the amount of capital for which the revenue of the current hill-year will have to provide, will be 11,122,000/. The length of line, constructed exclusively with funds now included in the capital, will be 198 miles ; company's proportion of guaranteed leased lines, 441 miles ; making to gether 242 k miles. Tile weekly published traffic for the future will include the gross receipts of the above 2424 miles, and two-fifths of the receipts of the Bol ton, Blackburn, and Clithero line, 25/ miles in length, on which the coml. any receives 40 per cent. of the gross receipts for working the same, 104 ; nicking in all 252.1 miles. The balance of revenue for the past half-year applicable to dividend and interest, amounts to 177,229/. The directors recommend that a divi dend at the rate of 2/. per cent. per annum, less income-tax, to be . declared, which will leave a balance of 18,8281. to be carried forward to the next account. The legal decision affecting the fifth shares has not yet been obtained. The direc , ors are penuaded that the chief source of improve ment will be found in the progressive development of the traffic. Reviewing the amalgamated or leaved lines seriatim, it may be justly stated of the Barnsley line that until the communications now making by coal owners are complete, the full measure of traffic cannot he known; that the thirty miles between Manchester and Preston already yield a higher re turn than the parent line, including its brunches; that the Liverpool and Bury line is rapidly improv ing in income, and after the Huddersfield line was sanctioned by Parliament stood in so important a re lation t the Liverpool and Yorkshire traffic as fully tojustify the arrangement. The Preston and Wyre line was not expected at the time of the arrangement to remunerate the company fur some years ; but the loss, so far, exceeds the directors' anticipation,; but in considering this loss credit should be g yr n for the circumstance that an amount of traffic of from 15,0001. to 20,0001. per annum would have been di verted from the company's lines if the Preston and Wyre line had formed part of a neighbouring system. The engineer's report states that the only remaining portion of the unfioished4works, viz., that part of the West Riding Union Railway between Halifax and Sowerby-bridge, will be completed within the present 3ear. The CHAIRMAN, after answering one or two trifling objections to the statement of accounts, said the re duction of the dividend to two per cent. must be a matter of regret to ell the shareholders, but he hoped they might be able to look back upon it at a future time as the turning point i❑ the history of this rail- ' way. They had approached that point in the history of their riffairs when it would begin to wear a more satisfactory aspect than it had hitherto done. It had been said that the directors were chargeable with the present condition of the line, and that to causes under their control was attributable the present depreciation of the company's property. But many causes operated to reduce the dividend which were entirely out of the control of the directors. He did not make that assertion with the view to lessen in any degree any amount of blame which might fairly and justly be placed upon their shoulders, for the re sults of their management had not shown them to I . e very successful hitherto. The chief causes which had operated to produce a reduction of dividncl - were the abstraction of traffic by the multiplication of competing lines, and the reduced tariff. At an early petiod he (the chairman) saw the injurious effect of the reduced tariff; and called the attention of the shareholders to the fact that unless they had higher rates of remuneration for the work which they did it was in vain to look for profit, and the directors, acting under the some impression, applied to Parliatnent last ses sion, and succes•.fully carried a Bill by which the rates were partially restored.—(Hear, hear.) Ano ther important consideration was this—while the ca• pital chargeable to revenue had been increasing half yearly at the rate of 1,000,0001. to 1,500,0001., their gross receipts had been almost statio❑arv.—(Hear.) In four half-years their gross receipts had only ad vanced 15,600/. The accountant had made calcula tions which showed clearly the effect of reductions in the rates, coupled with the abstraction of through treffie, which had reduced their annual income 60000/.—(Hear, bear.) Another reason for the ree duction of the dividend, arising from a very natural cause, was that when this company paid an 8 Fer cent. dividend the capital was 3,400,0001., 1,800,0001: of which was borrowed at about 4 per cent. They had not paid up one-half of their capital.—(Hear, hear.) Now that they had paid up the whole amount, that fact alone was sufficient to reduce the di vidend to one and a half per cent. He trusted the shareholders would see that the causes time operating were of a very temporary nature; and that a little time—though not sa early as might orig►i n.ally have been supposed—would revive the value of their property. At the last meeting a long discussion took place upon the form of the constitution of the board ; a committee bad been appointed to confer with the directors upon the subject, and the matter would be taken into consideration at a subsequent period.. He would now move— " That so much cf the , r..port of the directors as does not relate to the question of the reconstruction of the board be ra calved and adopted, and that the accounts up to the 30'h of June be passed." Mr. lIARPER seconded the motion. Mr. I). PRICE objected to the enormous salary paid the engineer, and charged him with having received a sum of money for services reedered to the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Company, which money, he considered, ought to have gone to the credit of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company. He proposed that, following the example of the Midland and Cale donian Companies, a list of all salaries paid by the company over 1001. per annum should be printed. The resolution was seconded by Mr. MOWATT, M.P , and carried. Mr. aonEltTs, of Chester, said that he thought that SD long as the company found work for lawyers and engineers, there would be no end to the exhausting of their capital. He moved that the services of the en ginoer-in-chief should be dispensed with, and that a re,ident engineer should ba appointed at a salary nct exce , ding 500/. a }ear. Mr. HAwxsnaw, the engineer, said many of the gentlemen near him on the board knew that his opi nions were quite consonant with those of Mr. Roberts. After the completion of the works at present on hand, they would not requiere an engineer in chief.— ( Ipplaus9..) He would then, having a large interest in the concern hitnself, be glad to wind up the con tractor's account, and get rid of the great responsibi lity which had laid upon him.—(bear.) After a long discussion upon some minor matters in the accounts, in which Mr. MOWATT, M.P., de preca•ed the system of share -purchases which the company had pursued, that gentleman move-I for a return of the shares so purchased and held by the company. The CHAIRMAN said no new purchases had been made since November, 1848, at which time a list of the shares held by the company was published. Mr. Placa chlrged the board with having, at various times, pocketed the dividends upon those shares, and said it was only at the time when they depre ciated in value that they were thrown on the hands of than company. Tne CHAIRMAN, and other members of the board, indignantly denied the assertion of Mr. Price. Mr. MO WATT said there was only 52,0001. applica ble to revenue, and he thought, when that was considered, the self-glorifying terms of the directors' report were an insult to his understanding.—(Hear.) The report was subsequently adopted. The resolution declaring the dividend having been proposed, Mr. COATES (of London), on behalf of the Fifth shareholders, entered into a lengthy statement of their case. lie said he would not insist upon the legal view of the case, though ha was well ac quinted with the strong foundation which they bad in law ; and so soon as the question came before a public legal tribunal, where no proxies could be used —(flear, hear)—and it must do so unless justice were previously done to the Fifth shareholders—their right to a dividend would be affirmed, and the com pany during the progress of the case would be sub jected to great inconvenience, to say nothing of a most expulsive litigation. The company had now 18,8001 of a balance, out of which they could pay the Fifth shareholders a dividend at an equal rate ith the general shareholders, which he proposed, therefore, should be done. Mr. SCOTT seconded the motion, but The proceeding was condemned by Mr. LEEMAN and other shareholder), on the ground that tie matter had been referred to the Attorney-General for his opinion, and it was suggested that, should it not be decided by that high authority, it should be n ferred to a few commercirl men. The CHAIRMAN declined to put the motion of Mr. Coates, considering it would be necessary to convene a special meeting for such a purpose. Mr. Mow Arr joined in the opinion that the best mode of settling the question would be to refer it to the decision of some four or five business men. Mr. LEEDIA.N sugg:•sted the reference of the case to the chairman of the B;►nk or England and the chair men of the London and North-Western and Great Northern Railway Companies. MANCHESTER, BUXTON, MATLOCK, AND MIDLAND JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Derby yesterday (Wednesday) ; the lion. G. H. Cavendish, M.P., in the chair. A long discussion arose at the onset on an objec tion being made by-Mr. Preston, of London, to the affixing of the seal of the company to the registered list of shareholders, until he was permitted to inspect the list. The Chairman said that, in accordance with the advice of their legal instructor, they must refuse the application. Honourable proprietors might see the list of shareholders' names, but not the number of shares held by each. The directors themselves had no objection to any shareholder seeing how many shares were held by them. The discussion closed by Mr. Preston stating that he wanted a decision " aye" or " no," in order that he might try the question. The report was then read by the Secretary. It stated " That the gross receipts to the 30th of June last had been 3,0351. 11s. , and the expenses, in cluding Government duty, 2,338/. 13s. 5d., leavinz a balance in favour of the company of 6961. 18s. 2d., which, addei to the sum of 1,5351. 15s. 5.1., brought forward from the former half-year, made 2,232/ 134. 7d. at the credit of the revenue account of the com pany. This sum would pay a dividend of 6.1. per share (free of income-tax), and leave 1941. ls. Bd. to he carried forward to the next account. The traffic fa. the current half-year had been 1,9971. 18s. to the 25th of August, as compared with 1,6771. fur the corresponding period of 1849." On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, who stated that the traffic had increased 3201. during the last three A PLEASANT COMPANION. A laughable story is current in this city about Cal craft, the London hangman, who passed through here on Thursday week, having " a retainer" which re quired lain presence It Monmouth. In the course of the morning one of the Monmouth coachmen was ac costed by a tall, decent-looking man, bearing a carpet bag, who wanted to learn whoa the coach started for Monmouth. The knight of the road informed him with all the suavity due to a customer. " Ah," said the strainger, "it is a long time to wait ; I should like to take a glass of ale." " Well, sir," replied the obliging coachman, "my house is the —, and you will be well served there ; I will go with you. Sup pose you leave your carpet bag at the office ?" "N o, no," said the stranger hastily, clutching the handle firmly, " I would rather not part with that." To make a long story short, the improptu friends lunched together, afterwards dined together, doubtless enjoying each other's conversation, and then took a friendly pipe together. Whilst so engaged, a brother R hip joined the party, and after the usual greetings the discourse turned upon business. "1 say," said the new corner, " I shouldn't wonder if one of us has Calcraft to take down to-day." "Blow me," was the reply, " if I take him. I drove that cus tomer before, a year agone, and a shabby customer be is, too. He nevergives nothing to nobody,' he don't, and he shan't have the opportunity with me." And then the two friends joined in a full, true, and particular account of Master Calcraft and his doings, and his looks,;habits, manners were confidently, if not accurately sketched. " Ab," said one, " he sold fire ropes as that which Rush was hung with"—" and five suits of clothes as the one he was hung in," chimed in the other. The stranger meanwhile said nothing, probably having too much taste to be so personal ; but a keen ob server might have noticed that his visage grew a shade darker, and he puffed his smoke rather more fiercely as the epithets of his companions grew more racy. At length, the coachman and his stranger friend started for Monmouth, and chatted pleasantly on the road, whereat some brothers of the whip passing up, seemed to stare, though the pace was too fast to give or seek explanation. The de nouement occurred, we believe, at Ross. The coach man, to his chagrin, discovered that though he was determined not to carry such a scurvy rogue, yet that he had actually lunched, dined. and smoked with Calcraft himself, and to make matters worse had abused him before his face. "Never mind, my boy," said Calcraft, tipping a shilling as he got down at Mon mouth, and a wag of a friend declares that the fellow added, "we shall meet again." The carpet bag con tained the " materials" for the execution, as Calcraft delicately styles the haltar and other small matters of his craft. He was paid 151. for hanging the two Irishmen at Monmouth, and was to have had, it ie said, 101. for executing Hannah Curtis in this city.— Gloucester Journal. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian) MANCHESTER, TUESDLY.—Three muds reaching us in one day—from the ETA Indies, the West In dies, and the United States, the latter showing that an advance of a quarter of a cent, per lb. in the price of cotton had taken plac at New York— have not only supplied no stimulus to our market, but have failed to sustain matters in the position which they occupied during the latter half of last week. Extremely little business has been done in good. of any kind, whether for shipment or fur home con sumption ; and the general tendency of prices is against the producers. The Greeks appear to have had a principal hand in the small operations of the day. The India merchants have held more d-cidedly aloof than they did before. As regards yarns, there has been, on the one hand, an increased desire to sell, especially warps and cops ; and, on the other hand, a further di minution of confidence, particularly among the buyers of warps and cops. The consequence is, that the quotations for these articles have again suffered some ' reduction ; while, with but partial changes in the nominal rates of the lower and medium counts of mule and water, in the bundle , concessions are made where sales are ffected, though not in the same degree as in the first-named articles. There can be no doubt that the failure of a large manufacturer of domestics, and the unsatisfactory character of the accounts of our staples in the Calcutta market have contributed to the state of things here described ; but this state of things is, in a much greater degree, to be regarded as a subsidence of that upward movement which, a month ago, a ided id. to fd. per lb. to prices in Liverpool ; and, though not in en equal degree, raised them in Manchester also. For that rise no solid reason could be assigned. It sprung out of a mere speculative impulse, and was sure, therefore, to be followed by a reaction. Such impulses and reac tions have occurred several times within a few months ; and their ill effects are deserving of serious attention, and ought to be productive of increased caution. 'Whatever may he the probability that the value of cotton is not likely to be permanently lower for some time to come, it must certainly happen, with so high a range of prices, that, after every rise, suddenly effected by artificial operations, there will be a speedy rebound, to the great injury, not only of' many individuals, but of the trade at large. The confidence with which, but very lately, a progressive advance was inspiring our customers, as to its perma nence, has been sadly shaken by recent recoils from undue and unreal starts, and especially by that, which commencing about three weeks since, has more de cidedly manifested itself today. Tnis is more particu larly the case abroad, where the spirit of our market is but very slowly caught. The continental merchants in this town are almost paralysed from this cause. ROCUDALE, MONDAY.—So brisk was the demand for fi innels to-day, that the pieces were all cleared out by eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The wool market is much the same as it has been for some weeks past, both as regards prier- and demand. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had a fair trade doing to-day. The market begins to wear a better aspect. New patterns for the corning season meet with ready purchasers. Low woollens and fancies continue to have'the best sale. ahe trade of the week has been an average one. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—AIthough there was but a glen ler attendance of buyers in the Piece Hall to day, yet there is no material alteration in the general state of the worsted trade, which is steady and healthy. The demand for yarn has suffered no di minution, and prices are without alteration. Wools are rather quiet, and the quotations show considerable firmness. LEEDS, doneTulastnithre.— Cl A ot l h th H ott a g li h s t t o ll -d er a e v, hsatsillnothte de liveries so much . liveries of wooll en ends to order continue very large ; and, in consequence of the lowness of stocks, and the advance in the price of wool, prices are looking up. Business is good in the warehouses, both for the home trade and for shipping. ACCIDENT ON TUE SOUTII-WESTERN RAILWAY; An accident occurred on the above railway on Tuesday night. Tne 7 r.st. down train left the Waterloo road station at the usual hour for Guildford, and proceeded onwards without meeting with any interruption until it had arrived about midway between Esher and Weybridge. Shortly after pass ing the first-nam , d station the engine-driver espied some moving objects on the line; he therefore shut off .he steam and sienalf d to the guards to apply the breaks, but before they had sufficient time to do so the engine came i❑ contact with the obstruction in front, which was dashed to pieces, and in an instant portions of flesh and blood were scattered over the driver and stoker as well 8.9 over several of the car riages. It was then ascertained that a great number of sheep had strolled upon the line from one of the adjoining meadows, but owing to the train not being impeded in its progress the driver proceeded on its journey, leaving word as he went by the different stations for hiquiries to be made as to the extent of mischief done- Yesterday morning it was clearly a>certained that from 20 to 25 sheep had been cut to pieces, and their mangled remains were found scattered in sundry directions on the line. They were picked up by the driver of the goods train, and conveyed to the nearest station. The animals, it seems, had obtained an entrance upon the line owing to some defect in palings which sur rounded the meadow where they were at pasture. MISCELLANEOUS.
