In the above locality, supposed by many to be en tre!), occupied by persons of wealth and respectability, ,t was ascer ained, through the London City Mission, that the*** no less than 1.000 -eding in atructioni4#l,that the grr 1, under 14 years drege; . % DO id in one street, calledV.i. • . houses, 19 of those haus: 1 "; -,el This state of things inawied . th tided by several bern.volent iMzitildtu ragged school in Brand-street, which ;_sfully, until it was at length found tereased accommodation, and accori F'reehold grossed was recently purchtn road, to form a site for new echo& mce for the master and mistress. ime was gratuitously supplied by J. 1., archi tect, vvith the further kind ling the erection cf the buildin g, td which was accepted. Yesterday nag fixed for the irnportant ceremony of laying the Lundation stone by Henry Pownell, E , q., the Preeith bt end Chairman of the Middlesex Magistrates, for which the usual preparation of erecting a marques vri•h cents beneath, were made, and above floated a vet eL cf flags, &e. Prier to the c- rcrecny, the numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen alto had attended to witness the same were gratified by an inspection of the ornamental trowel, mallet , snd levels, and also a coloured draw ing of the ittended structure, which will be in the Tudor style, the material red brick, with Caen stone dressings, the whole having ar. sxceedirgly mat, though elegant appearance. The dimensions are, depth 50 feet, breadth 28 feet, and extreme height 48 feet. The in terior is ornamented by what is called an antique open timber roof. It will be capable of accommodating about 600 children of both sexes. ' Shortly before one o'clock the following gentlemen arrived en the grcurd, viz.:—H. Pownall, Esq., Mr Sheriff Nicoll, Mr. Deputy Lott, the Rev. D. Wilson, vicar of Islington; the Rev. J. Kingsmifl, chaplain cf the Model Prison ; as also the Revs. D. B. Painther, D. Magill, J. Branch, and M. W. Lusignan; R. M. Phillips, Eq., treasurer; S. J. Aldrich, E:q , honorary secretary; James Harrison,Etq a bonorary architect; Mr. W. Trego, builder, &c., and took their places around the stone, which bore the following inscription:— " This stune was laid by Henry Pownall, , the President, 28th August, 1850. Richard Marshall Phil lips, Fe q., treasurer; Stephen J. Aldrich, EA., honorary secretary; James Harrison, Esq., honorary arebiteet William Trege ' builder." The Rev. D. WILsoN having invoked a blessing on the undertaking, the steno was raised, the trowel handed to Mr. Pownall, who spread the mortar, and the lowering to its final destination, levelling, &c., succeeded, when it (the stone) was declared to be duly fixed. Mr. PowriALL then addressed the assembly, saying that he had to congratula'e every one present at the happy work in which they had been that day engaged, for whether those present mere contributors to the fund fur erecting the building. or parents of the children about to receive the blessings of that truly Christian institution, all must fee I an interest in the Christian re sults likely to flow therefrom, and in the cons'quent promotion of the happiness and welfare of a great portion of the community, end this feeling would, he trusted, find a lodgment in ti e breasts of the more lofty and wealthy. Tnose vtho had for years past taken an active part in forwarding the education ef the poor must feel truly thankful to the Almighty for the successful issue of their labours; fcr, considering the immense increase of our population, the number of cri minals was comparatively few, and was daily decreasing, anti would eentieue to decrea o the more they called to their aid such schools, together sNith the assistance of ministers c f the go. pd. After showing that children who having grown up in ignorance, and become parents, were incapable of imparting knowledge to their chil dren, and were thus tending to perpetuate ignorance, vic , , and misery, he proceeded to say that now educat , ire; these children might probably reclaim by instruct ' ing the parents, and all, doubtless, were now imbued with a desire to educate those who could not educate themselves. Children must Le taught the duties of religion, to hon Our and obey their parents, if parents ape eta d from their children that solace, affection, and reepe et in their declining years, which proper education !Ilene cculd produce. They might feel assured that these who acre not so irstructed, who were ignorant of their duties as Christians to God and their fellow man, would neither make good husbands, good wives, or dutiful children.—(llear, hear.) He trusted that the constant attendance of the children, and their good con duct therein, would crown the elf mts which had been made, and show the success of these schools; and he hoped that, f,r many years to come, the seeds which they had sown, and the plants they had planted, would promote virtue and love to all, and produce in that neighbourhood a happy, iudustrious, contented, and Christisn population. In conclusion, he hoped God would bless all who hai contributed to the funds and assisted in promoting the csuce; and should any of the efileiren eductned therein be destined to go to foreign land{, he hoped they would carry wwith them all the good religious principles which they had received—that they would eve r remember they were taught religion and virtue in the liollewe.y Ragged Schools.—(Hear, hear.) The worthy inagiitrate concluded a long and eloquent speech, of which the ab , eve is but a brief outline, amidst loud checrieg. Mr. Sheriii Nic..LL, in a most effective address, se coLded by II e Rev. D. MAGILL, proposed thanks to Mr Puwnail, which Itia3 carried unanimously, and duly ac knusvledgcd. _ A similar compliment, on the motion of Mr. Deputy ercoed. d by the Rev. J. BRANCH. in a brilliant and eine:ivy addres3, was accorded to R. M. Phillips, E. -q ti,e treasurer, to whi c h th e latter briefly replied. A:t2r thanks to Mr. Sheriff Nicoll, who had come ex pressly from Southampton to honour the proceedings with l.is presence, which the worthy Sheriff duly re sponded to, - Mr. Deputy LOTT highly eulogised the exertions of Mr. S. J. Aldrich, hon. sec., through which this institu tion had been chiefly brought to its present position, pro posed thanks to that gentleman, the committee, &c.,. which was seconded by the R e v. M r . L USIGNAN, and unanimously adopted. Other complimentary resolutions were also carried, the interesting proceedings terminating with a pathetic and appropriate f trewell address by IL Pownall, Esq., when the company departed. ANOTHER BLOODY AFFRAY IN PHILADELPHIA.—. This in.n.ning, about three o'clock, a bloody affray occurred at the house of an Irishman, a painter, named Henry Doug. herty, in California-place, near the corner of the Juniper and Lombard•streets. It seems that there had been an Irish jollifica , ion at the house—a sort of celebration of the siege of Derry—when a fight took place between two boarders there, George Dougherty, a brother of the keeper of the place, and Joseph Smith. Smith stabbed George in the head. At the time Henry Dougherty was asleep. William M'Euen, a guest, exclaiming that Smith had cut George Dougherty, Henry Dougherty was aroused, and he and Smith appear to have intuntly got into collision. Smith began a murderous and brutal assault upon Henry, wounded him in the left shoulder, and newly biting off his ear. Smith also stabbed bi•Euen in the hand. The two Dougbertys and Smith fell into the hands of the south-west watch. The wounded pri soners were attended at the station-house by Dr. Chaloner. This surgeoa considered Henry Dougherty's wounds so se rious as to put his arm, if not his lite, i❑ peril. Smith was covered wi blood from head to foot. This morning Smith was brought before the mayor ar.d committed. No motive is assigned for the outrageous behaviour of the man. He must have been crazy with whisky. The whole party were friends, and had known each other, in the old country and America, for years.—Philadelphia But etin, Aug. 13. PHENOMENA OF THE OCEAN.—During the voyage of the barque Harvest, Captain Lackey, of New Bedford, recently returned from a whaling voyage, the fact was veri fied that the tides about the Polynesian Islands do not follow the Newtonian law of variation. At the request of Captain Lackey, affidavits were obtained from two intelligent indi viduals, who have for twenty years resided among the So ciety Hands, to the following statement:—" That the time of high water takes place between the hours of eleven and one o'clock, without any variation, unless caused by winds. The d:fferent phases of the moon have no effect whatever in changing the time of high water. At the full and change the tides are from six to eight inches higher; the full rise being about two feet." Another interesting result of the voyap was the obtaining of deep-sea soundings in the vici nity of the Bermuda Islands. We quote from the narrative, as published in the New Bedford Mercury :—" Here, in lat. 27 10 N., long. 1;2 45 W., on the 20th of April, 1850, the nearest land being Bermudas, bearing N.W. by N., and dis tant 315 miles, water blue with much gulf-weed, weather ca'tn, no current, the boat was lowered; let run the lead, and found bAtom in 744 fathoms. April 15, lat. 27 31 N., long. 60 3 W., Bermuda bearing N.W. by N., 300 miles, sounded and got bottom in 466 fathoms. April 29, lat. 29 2) N., long. 64 11 \V., Bermudas N.W. by N., 160 miles, sounded and got bottom in 6:20 fathoms. The time occu pied in running out the line varied from 20 to 30 minutes. The line wai constructed thus : First 100 fathoms five parts of shoe-thread; second, four parts; third, three parts; fourth, two parts; remainder single. The lead weighed about slbs. ; the whole wound upon a light reel, and held by hand. In this process of obtaining soundings the lead is not to be hauled up." SHOCKING DEATH FROM MACHINERY.—An inves- tigation took place yesterday before Mr. Payne, the City Corcner, at Guy's Ho pital, on the body of William King, aged 17, who died of lock-jaw under the following melan choly circumstances :—The decessed was in the employ of Messrs. Miller, the extensive horse hair and flock manufac turers, in Lant-street, Borough. On Thursday week he • was engaged in roiling some horse-hair, but having put too much into the niachine, seine pertion of it got over the cog wheel, which the deceased went to get back, when three of his fingers were pulled in between the cogs of the wheel. Having called out loudly, the engine was stopped, and the three lingers were apparently hanging to the band by a bit of skin. He was attended liy a surgeon until last Saturday, when it was thought desirable to remove him to the hospital. 0.1 Sunday, however, tetanus, or lock jaw, set in, of which he died the same night. Since the sad occurrence Messrs. have had the cog-wheel covered over, to prevent future accidents. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

CATHOLIC LAW AND. • GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY.STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE , LONDON. The FOURTiI ANNUAL G ENERAL ME ETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'cl.ack precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : • During the pasryear neclaimi hare arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland —one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—making together 700/., which have been pal t. This Isfar below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number pf lives assured between the Ist of June, 1843, and the 31st of Vey, 1850, was more than double the number Issued In the twelve months preceding.

Another ground of apparent increase was to ba accounted for by the charges iur repairs of rolling stock, which the directors were determined to keep up in the highest state of efficiency. There was alto a large item f.r law expenses, which was taken at an estimate of 1,000/. 01 this cum only 250/. had been incurred daring the last half-year, the remaining 7501. being ar rears of former half•years, including the cf , arges con-' nected with 801113 expensive appeal cases on rates. The arbitration with Mr. Crawshay was still in suspense. With regard to the suit agsinst Mr. Hudson, it was making progress in Chancery, and the question ha I been put why the directors should not accept a certain sum down, or refer the case to arbitration. He had no hesi tation in saying that as long as they considered the di rectors able , to manage their affairs, they ought to allow this matter to remain in their hands. This was a demand for restitution, and not a case for arbitration. He had formed a strong opinion of what ought to be required f.om Mr. Hudson, and would not consent to take less. With respect to the claims against two other of the late directors (Mr. Davies and Mr. Richardson) the directors had made a conditional arrangement, receiving from them half the premiums which the shares were worth on the daythat they were appropriated to them. An item on land purchases of 3,443/. IEO. 61. had bean paid for interest, on the completion of conveyances, which sum in most companies was placel to capital account, but they thought it better to carry it at once to revenue. With reference to the Electric Telegraph Company, ne gotiations were going on; and he trusted that arrange ment' would be effected, giving to this company a fair remuneration for the capital which they had laid out in telegraph works. The arrangement with the Air and Calder Company was a bringing together of parties who had looked on each other as natural enemies. He - hoped that this arrangement, whilst it secured a fair rate _of toll, would not prevent that healthy competition which was essential for the protection of the public. With re ference to the affairs of the company generally, al though they were not met under prosperous circum stances, they had much better prospects than existed six months since, and he hoped that the various changes and reforms which were being effected would tend to in creased receipts and decreased expenditure. He then moved the adoption of tho report, which was agreed to unanimously. Mr. RAMSEY then moved that counsel's opinion be taken with a view to legal proceedings against Mr. Hud son and the late directors, and such officials as had been instrumental in falsifying the accounts of the company; but the motion was negatived nearly unanimously. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of a resolution declaring a dividend of ss. per cent.. without deduction for income-tax; which was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN observed that last week their receipts were 10,6181, being the highest amount (with one ex ception) that the company had ever received. The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution, agreeing to accept 1,250/. from Mr. James Richardson, and 1,0001. from Mr. Davies, in respect of shares received by them as directors end subscribers to the Whitby Building Company, such arrangement not in any way to prejudice the claims of the company against them in respect of any other liabilities as directors of this com pany, either solely or in conjunction with other directors. The resolution was carried. Mr. R4IIIBEY enumerated somo defalcations which had occurred from time to time, and asked if bonds had been taken from the clerks? The CHAIRMAN—They had in all new appointments, and in the case of old servants such was being done. Mr. BULL moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and direct - me, and in doing so, stated that he had, the last two d•l3 s, gone over the main parts of the line and found everything in a most sAisfactory state. The vote was seconded, and carried unanimously. Mr. STEVENS again wished to speak, but was pre vented by The CHAIRMAN, who said he should feel it his duty to conduct the proceedings in a regular way as long as he was in the chair. Mr. Stevens having spoken before, he could not again hear him. BATLY again remarked .on what he hal to say at the next mu( ting; and the question was then put by the chairman and immediately careed. The meeting then separated. In Penny Weekly Numbers, and Sixpenny Monthly Parts. Now Ready, Part 1, price 6d., in Wrapper, THE LATE SIR R. PEEL'S SPEECHES.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SIIIIZL. The half-yearly meeting of the above company was held in the Exchange Rooms, Manchester, at noon yes terday; the Earl of Yarborough in the chair. The CHAIRMAN very briefly addressed the proprietors, alluding specially to the canals, which he said were st - 11 losing concerns, though be believed they were not the sources of so mech loss to the company as they would. have been had they been in the hands of competing companies.—(Hear.) During the present half year the losses upon the cauals appeared much greater than they had done on previous half year!, which was partly owing to a severe frost, which Isste I upwar is of a month. The company had a considerable quantity of goods t) deliver on the line of the canals, and during the continuance of the frost they had to incur a great expenditure fir cartage to places where the canal could not be navi gated, and where the railway did not reach. He be lieved that the accounts of the present half-year were the worst that woull ever have to be lad before the shareholders.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Their ex penses had hitherto been necessarily very heavy, but now that the line was so far completed, a considerable diminution of expenditure would take place; in fact, a system of reduction had been commenced by the manager, the efiset of which would be farourably per ceptible at the text half-yearly meeting. At a subse quent period of the mpetzug the chairman stated that asay platers, foiit s a t — 0. 2 , twchlocsrekteservliceBss. had weekly;tnis reduction 6 2 guards, been dispensed with 601. per week; and boat hire, 6/. 10 e w With reference to the canals, it was considered desirable that the directors should impress upon Mr. Ricardo, M.P., the propriety of having carried out the policy which he had Loins time ego stated be should recom mend. It was con ,idered by some parties that the works at Great Grimsby should be suspended for a period, and upon that point the opinion of Mr. Stephenson, an indee pendent engineer, had been taken, and he had expressed a decided conviction that it was for the interest of this company that the works should be carried on.—(Hear, hear.) The Homier Ferries business bad been placed in the hands of Mr. Carter, solicitor, of Birmingham, who wrote to the different individuals connected with the Humber Ferries purchase, and they had decided not to refund any of the money which they had received, unless so far as there had been a miscalculation of interest in the secretary's office.—(llear hear, and Shame.)! The report having b een ta k en as rear], The CHAIRMAN proposed that that, together with the accounts, should be adopted. Mr. TURNER, of Liverpool, seconded the motion. Mr. MORT3N said he understood that at the last meet ing it was decided that every individual who had been connected with that "job," should be dismissed from the company's service. So far from that having been done, one of them, th e eng i neer, ha d actua lly be e n pro moted.—(Hear, bear.) He was glad to have heard the chairman deny that the accounts were "cooked," for rumours were abroad that some of the traffic receipts, as they appeared in the report, were artificial. Mr. Mor ton complained of the mode in which the South Junction line was worked by this company, as it only yielded this year a dividend of about three-quarters per cent.; and also of the position in which this company stood with respect to the Groat Northern Company. No two railways could be found which ought to be more closely and naturally allied, whereas they were at com plete enmity, this company doing its utmost to obstruct the traffic on the Great Northern line by a variety of expedients which railway managers only could have re course to, instead of cultivating friendly relations, and making every interchange of traffic which they possibly could. He also complained of the heavy working ex penses of the line, which amounted to no less than 65 per cent. of the traffic receipts; while on the Eastern Counties they were only 48 per cent.; on the Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 46 per cent.; on the London and Brighton, 43; and on the London and North- Western, 38 per cent. Under all the circumstances, he could not vote for the reception of the directors' report. of Birmingham, defend e d th e Mr. CHA.RLES LEACH, directors. From elaborate calculations which he hid made, founded upon sound data, he was convinced that in 1854 the receipts would be at least 10,0001 per week, which would yield a dividend of t h ree per cent. upon the original shares, and every additional 1,0001. p er week would yield an additional 0113 per cent. up to six per cent., which ho had no doubt they would ultimately arrive at.—(Cbe rs.) The CHAIRMAN ststed the directors bad made various overtures to the directors of the Great Northern Com pany, but on, all points they had met with great diffieul tes on the part of that company. Lie hop e d, h owever, that some satisfactory arrangements might s h ort l y b e decided upon. With respect to the Humber F err i es transaction, and the position of their engineer, he did not think that Mr. Fowler had done anything improper; he had been a most useful man to the compaey, and filled the office with advantage to the shareholders. After a tedious and uninteresting discussion, the mo tion was put from the cha ir, and only four hands were held up against it. A dividend of 71 per ce nt. p er an num upon the No.l Quarters was agreed to, payment to be deferred to a subsequent period. The resolutions of a routine character were passed, and the ted, a vote of th an k s having been warmly accorded to the Noele Chair man . proceedings termina YORK AND NORTiI MIDLAND.

PLYMOUTH, Atro. 27.—The ordinary half yearly tar e log of this company was held at the Royal Hotel, PI) mouth, this afternoon ; Mr. Thomas Woolcornbe, the chairman of the board of du ectorP, presiding. Amongst the directors present were Sir A. Buller, David Derry, J. W. Bailer (chairman of the Bristol and Exeter), Ralph Cole, Mr. Morgan, F. P. Barlow, and Hr. Beal, Mr. W. Cain, secretary, and Mr. C. C. Whit ford. There was also a full attendance of shareholders. On the moti.n of the CUAIRMA.N the notice for con vening the meeting was read by the secretary, and the seal was attached to the register of shareholders. The report, which had been previously circulated amongst the shareholders, was then taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, after soma lengthened observations upon the state and prospects of the undertaking, moved that the report be received and adopted. M. W. PRANCE having seconded the motion, Mr. C. STEVENS then rose, and snid he had a resolu- tion to the effect, that an extraordinary general meeting should be called on Wednesday five weeks, for the pur pose of considering and determining whether any and what measures should be adopted for the reduction of the expenditure, improving the working establishment, and maintaining the credit of the company, and for gene ral purposes. He then proceeded to state that, as re garded the forfeiture of shares, the shareholders of the company ought not to firfeit people's property without due c insideration. They could riot tell what circum stances of monetary pressure prevented them from pay ing, and he therefore 13,gged them not to forfeit th. ir shares without it was by request. He then referred to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, which was indebted to the South Devon Railway Company in the sum of 10,000/4 aed in the month of April, 1847, notwith standing the shareholders of the South D,von paid 40 par cent., the Bristol and Gloucester Railway bad not paid one farthing. He contended, with regard to the contract for locomotive engines, that the shareholders h td a right, every one, of reading and perusing the con ditions and provisions of that contract. He believed the whole of their 6 per cent. bonds to be illegal, and com plained of the sum of 6,4001. having been spent in law charges. He snbhaitted his amendment for the purpose of calling an extraordinary meeting, so that these things should be inquired into. Mr. Mormi. seconded the motion. Mr. W. Fox expressed regret that another meeting should be called, and a committee appointed to inquire into the affairs of the company, as it would be the means of bringing discredit upon the company, and perhaps do them a deal of mischief. With regard to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, they had paid part of the money, but its being withheld from them proved a benefit to the company, for they had paid five and six per cent. interest, whereas if the money had been in the bank they would have had but two or three per cent. He complained that the traffic in goods was not more; but he could tell them, without mentioning names, that parties were in London who contracted with whirs at Exeter for goods to be sent there, and instead of the goods being sent on the South Devon line, they were conveyed by van here. If a steamer was on the point of sailing from London to Plymouth, goods were shipped on board her, and the railway was thus cheated. Ile trusted that the company would come to an a rrangement with the opposing shareholders, otheraisa they would never be able to get ou well. Mr. D. DERRY, one of the directors, explained that, with regard to the forfeited shares, the greater number of the owners had requested them to be forfeited, and as for the others, they were dead. He defended the cm duct of the directors, and stated that they were trying to renew the debenture bonds again; and with regard to the law expenses, he thought those gentlemen who com plained of them were doing that which would involve them in greater costs. Mr. T. STEVEN, was of opinion that an arrangement ought to be effected previous to an o th er sess i on o f Par- liament arriving. - Mr. S. DERRY thought it would be unwise to enter into a contract for a lug period, inasmuch as seine power might spring up in the course of tea years which would be less expensive. The CLIAIRMAN said they should have a contract with the power of relinquishing it to a certain extent, but parties lending money knew full well the value of it, and, therefore, they could not expect to have it all their own way. Mr. lia.YLy asked a question relative to the branch to Sutton Pool, on which The CHAIR MIN replied that they could not go into detail on that matter. The slAreholders might rest sa tisfied that the directors had provided such a sum as would be considered amply sufficient to discharge the engagements they had made. BAIL; aiter stating that he held very little in terest in the company, spoke in favour of the amend ment, and concluded by saying that he should propose to lay before the•next meeting of the company a state ment of operations, including idle, profligate, and waste ful expenditure, which he believed would surprise and astoLish the shareholders of the company. The CHAIRMAN then asked if there was any other gentleman who wished to speak on the motion, and as there were none, the questions were put; when there appeared— - For the amendment ... Against it ... ••• In favour of the original resolution Against it ••• ••• The original motion was then declared carried. Mr. STEVENS essayed to speak, but The CHnaaaAN would not allow hire to be heard. Mr. STEVENS persisted in claiming to be heard, on the grounds that they were partners in a mercantile company. He was not, however, allowed to speak. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the forfeiture of the shares, which was secondel by Dr. DERRY, who said he wished his were being put to the vote as well. Mr. STL7ENS a:;•ain spoke about having an extraordi nary general meeting, observing that if the directors refused to call one, th e y wou'd the:ll3,4v° ;, as he had a suffi..nent number of shirelioldere latinr:S on the re quisition. Mr. W. MOORE knew that the directors had the per- Let control of the company, and it was a mere matter of form for the shareholders to come the re. The CHAIRMAN, after the last remarks, said the di . - rectcza had the i n t eres t o f t h e company in v i ew as ouch as the shareholders themselves. They had no interest in laying out th e money i n law charges; hut if they were to lay down in the dirt they would neither have law nor justice. The directors were as deeply alive to the misery and mischief which would be in volved by any liiigious proceeding as any shareholder 1 mild be. ... 41 ... 32 YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The report of the directors, to be submit - cd to .the proprietors on Tuesday next, states that the receipts for the half year ending the 30th of June amounted to 351,886!., and for the corresponding period in 1849 to 323,964 Z Nearly the whole of this increase has been produces during the last quarter. The working ex penses for the half•year ending the 30th of June amounted to 135,0631., and fur the corresponding period in 1849 to 132,189/. The charges against revenue other then working expenses amounted in the formcr period to 1.51,6101., and in the letter periA to 118,9121. The amount of debenture capital has been increased since the 30► h of June, 1849, to the extent of. 215,0001., entailing a corresponding additional burden fur •interest. In the former half-year there was a large sum for interest charged to capital account for unproductive works, and during tho present half year there is no such charge in the accounts. Tho directors propose to carry to capital the sum of 35,4021., the balance appearing on the Great North of England purchase account; but a sum of upwards of 10,0001. arising from unpaid dividends on and calls re ceived in respect of shares which will have to be for feited, will then be carried to the credit of that account in reductigo of that sum. Since the last half-yearly meeting the directors have received a further sum of 10,0001., making 50,0001. of the amount agreed to be paid by Mr. Hudson in settlement of the claims of the company upon him; but the sum due from him in re spect of the Sunderland Dock has not yet been paid, al though the directors had expected when they made the arrangememt with him. that the whole amount would have been received before this time, and have used their utmost exertions to obtain payment, but without s c ffect. The directors, however, hold securities for the amount. The net divisible balance out of the proper earnings of the half-year amounts to 62,212/, which, added to the net ba lance, 1,500!, from the last account, increases the amount to 63,713/, out of which the directors propose to pay a dividend at the rate of 2i per cent. par annum, leaving a balance of 2,239/. to be carried to the next account. The purchase debentures to be delivered to the Great North of England Railway share holders are in active preparation, and the purchase will be completed in October next. On the Ist of July, 1853, 796,571/, will be payable; on the Ist of January, 1855, 1,062,095/. will be payable; and 796,571/. on the Ist of July, 1856, unless otherwise agreed. upon by those en titled to them. The Sunderland Dock w as openei on the 20th of June, and m us t l ea d t o an important increate of coal traffic on the Durham and Sunderland branch railway of this company. The directors have taken steps to close the capital account. The amount expended on capital account to the 30th June amounts to 6,667,5071.; due to the corporation of Newcastle, 15,000/.; estimate of works to complete the railway, 131,6221.; Great North of England purchase, 3,732,9021. ; total, 10,547,0311 . The capital account will be closed by a sum of 10,550,0004 NORFOLK. It appears from the statement of receipts and expendi ture on capital account for the half year ending 30th of June, that 53,075/. had be-n received, including 10.0001. temporary loan, and 37,5001. on account of rolling stock or stores transferred to the Eastern Counties Company, and 50,1471. expended, including 49 000/. mortgage bonds paid off, leaving a balance of 2,927/. The Lowestoft Railway and Harbour account shows that 344,673/. had been received on capital account, and 316,216/. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 1,5421. The revenue account for the half•year ending the 4th'of July states that 5,495/. had been received, including 2,8581. from the harbour, and 2,084/. from the railway, and 3,846/. expended, leaving the balanei of profit 1,648/. LEEDS AND THIRSK . The directors of this company have issued their-half yearly statement, from which it appears that the receipts on calls to the 30th June last have been 1,527 ; 9991.; miscellaneous receipts, 14 535 Z ; loans, 471,2051.; making a total of 2,013,740!.; besides which there is an item of 22,4291. under the head of " other advances," which appear to have been made to the company prior to the 31st December last. The total amount expended up to the 30th of June, including 34,8581., the Ripon Canal purcb4se, was 2,000,1561. leasing a balance in hand of 13,581/. The total share capital authorised under the company's Acts is 2,243 ; 0001., and the balance due or remaining to be called up is 815,1801.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company was intended to have been held on Tuesday at York. At the appointed hour the chairman, Mr. George Leeman, and Messrs. Courtenay, Gray, and Audus, directors, tiok their seats, but only about a citzni share holders attended, and the number present were insuffi cient to constitute a legal meeting. The CHAIRMAN entered into a full t xplsnation If the Railway Abandonment Act, and it probable effect if put into execution, when the whole of the shareholders pre sent cordially agreed with him in the opinion that it was not desirable, for the present at all events, that the company should place itself within its operation, coupled as it is with the notorious and much condemned Wind ing-up Act. 7 111; directors expressed their intention of forthwith paying to the shareholders 2s. 4d. per share, being a year and a halt's interest at the rate of a fraction less than 4 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital, pur suant to the powers of their Act. This announcement was received with much satisfaction, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting adjourned. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. The 25th half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday in Glasgow ; Mr. P. Blackburn, of Ktllearn, chairman of the directors, in the chair. The report was then read. The CHAIRMAN stated that the report and accompany ing sheets ezplaiced as fully as the directors ste , re able to do it the financial position of the company. The board regretted most sincerely that they bad ti present that most objectionable feature—a reduced dividend. The board was equally ieterestcd in this matter with the shareholders, and nothing could give them greater plea sure than to see an extended traffic-table and a large di vidend, but so long as the expenses had not increased the board could not take any blame to thrms lees on ac ' count cf the diminished returns from traffic, for over this Mley had no control. As to the competition with the Cale donian, which commenced in the beginning of the year and lasted two months, he was glad to say that an ar rangement had been entered into. The Caledonian direc tors had mat the board in the fairest spirit, and though siAlous to make the best terms possible, matters had been so settled that they would do nothing injurious to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company which did not be nefit themselves. There was one point to which he would allude, in the hope that every shareholder would exert himself to provide a remedy. He alluded to the extreme pressure of the rates and taxes charged upon all rail way companies. In this respect he conteaded that they wero unfairly treated by Government, and quite unable to help themselves. Of these rates this company paid no less than 4,600/, which amounted to 15 per c..?nt of their not dividends. This was a vast item, and if Government treated them fairly it would take off the passenger duty, and pass a measure defining the _mole in O rated timef or ? p v o e o r r y , police,wh e h andral railway c P a a l u r t rates. In e r l e n to the b mean parish thought it right to grasp as much from railway g Includin the income-tax, this company paid away no less titan 18 per cent. c f its revenue. He might mention th a t s i nce t h e l ast y they ymake had paid off d e b entures to the up for thi s th e b oar d h a d amount a I f•ea o r I f y Bo meetingooo T borrowed 25,000/. upon other terms; but as compared with last half-year there was now 55.000/, less debt ow ing out of the company than there had been. The Edinburgh and Glasgow had now all its liabilities before ir, with the exception of the Wiltontown and Batbgate. The S . terlingshire Junction would be op ene d i n t h e ceuree of a few days, and after this the preference would be payable out of revenue. This would amount to 8,000/. a year; but 4e hoped the increased traffic would make it up. They wer e aware that a dispute existed with the Stirling and Du n f erm li ne l i ne. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Co mpany declined to take it, for the reason that it was not the line for which they originally har getned, and had now no access to the town of Stirling. He had no doubt the justice of their ease would be main tained in a court of law. Mr. T. HILL then addressed the company at great length on the claims of the Edinburgh and Bethgate to an ama l gamation with the Edinburgh awl Glasgow at 4 p,r cent., instead of 24 per cent. as now offer..d. Mr. G. W. MUIR asked if any progress lied been met) towards the ainalgametion with the Caledonian. The CHAIRMAN replied that some meetings had been held, but no real progress bad been made. Tne Cale donian board, since it aas formed, had been so much taken up with its own difficultie3 that this subject had been left over in the mean time. He retained his ()pi ' mon as to the desirableness of the duaslgiviza,•ion. The CHAIRMAN thee propose I the usual resolutions, including the pay meat of a dividend of 21 per cent. on the 16th of Sef,ternter, which were agreed to. SUNDAY TRAINS. Mr. Cux, of Edinburgh, then move l that a morning and evening train to run along the litt , ?, en Sundays, which WAS seconded by Isir.
