Co The business of the ordinary half-yearly meeting was then proceeded with. The CHAIRMAN briefly referred to the details con tained in the reprt, alluding more particularly to the gratifying announcement that the total increase on the main line for the last half-year, as compared with the corresponding half of 1849, was 15,657/. ss. 11d., of which 12,6341. 105. sd. was from passengers, and 3,0221. 15s. 61. from goods, &c. Toe directors also anticipated a still further increase in the re venue both as regarded passenger and goods traffic. The amount of balance at the disposal of the direc tors was 113,478/. 14s. 7d., which would allow a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on the consolidated stock of the company, after providieg the guaranteed dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum on the preferential stock issued.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. A somewhat prolonged and irregular discussion ensued, which ended in the report being received. A dividend for the half-year at the rate of 3 Per cent. on the consolidated stock, to be payable after the Ashford and Hastings line was opened, or at such other time as the directors might appoint, was then agreed to. The resolution which was passed at the last meet ing, that a register of the shareholders, with the amount of their stock, should be published annually and sold to the shareholders for a shilling, was then brought before the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said the directors objected to such a return on the ground that it wou ld d eprec i ate t h e value of the company's stock. He moved that the above resolution should be rescinded, and that a return should be published giving simply the names and ad dresses of shareholders, distinguishing such as were competent to hold the office of director or auditor. An amendment was proposed to this, but the reso lution of the Chairman was ultimately carried by a large majority. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

The decrease of 4,4861. 6s. 6d. in the receipts from passengers on the Greenwich branch has evidently been occasioned by the abstraction of traffic from that line to the North Kent.

This latter service accommodated 6 777 pas sengers last half year, in comparison with 4,403 in the corresponding half of 1849, showing an increase of 2,374 passengers. Between Dover and Ostend her Ma jesty's packets and those of the Belgian Government perform a service from Dover to Ostend every evening (excepting Sunday), and from Ostend to Dover every even ing (excepting Saturday), and a service is also performed by the Belgian Government:B steamers, in conjunction with those of the South-Ea , tern and Continental Steam packet Company, from Ramsgate to Ostend, every Mon day, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning, and from Ostend to Ramsgate every Sunday, Wednes• day, Thursday, and Saturday morning, from harbour to harbour.

James Cole, 24, polisher, was indicted for ;stealing two bank notes of the value of 201., a bank note for 51, two cheques of the value of 61/. ss. Bd., and 20 sovereigns and some silver, the moneys of Peter Thwaites, from his person. Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended. Mr. ROBINSON, having stated the case, called Mr. Peter Thwaites, a fruiterer in Covent-garden market, living in Broad-court, Covent-garden, who stated that on the 9th of August, between five and six o'clock in the evening, he went into the Mercers' Arms, Covent-garden, having the money named in the indictment in his pocket in a bag. He called for a glass of bitter ale, and whilst drinking it saw the prisoner and some other men there, and also a woman. One of the men got into conversation with him, and he finally paid for some gin for the party. One of them said he had lost a bottle of wine, upon which he paid for one, but had no sooner partaken of some of it than his senses left him, and he knew nothing until he found himself at home and his money gone. The witness, on cross-examination, said that he had been walking about during the day, but had not taken enough to make him at all drunk. 28,024 12,023 13,299 WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNIsG.—The Royal mail steamer Tay, Captain Chapman, has just arrived here, bringing mails from Jamaica, Demerara, Bar badoes, Trinidad, and the Windward and Leeward Islands, but none from the Spanish Main or Pacific. The Tay has experienced head winds on the voyage home. She brings 16 passengers; and on freight 226 bags of pimento and sundry cargo. Specie, value 1,916 dollars; 191. gold dust; British , corn, 6551.; silver, 618/. ; and 1,114 francs.

The weather in the islands had entirely changed to abundant rains. 8,461 6,760 Cotton cultivation was taken up vigorously. The island was healthy and quiet, with no political news. John Harlow, a lad belonging to the market, said that, seeing the prosecutor, the prisoner, and other men with him, and thinking he was in danger of being robbed, he went round and informed Mr. Isaacs, the younger, the prosecutor's partner. When he came back he met the prisoner running down Long-acre with two other men. When they got to the corner of James-street they jumped into a cab, and upon young ➢lr. Isaacs seizing it, prisoner and the men jumped out at different sides and ran away. Mr. Henry Isaacs deposed to being fetched by the last witness, and said that as he passed along he saw the prisoner and two other men running along; one of the party said, " Is the money all right F' and the answer was, "Yes." They then got into a cab, which witness stopped, and the men then got out and ran away. Witness followed the prisoner, and, seeing a policeman, he beckoned him, and they both followed and finally caught the prisoner, who had run into a water-closet of a house close in the neigh bourhood. 7,915 Sugar was in fair inquiry, at better prices.

The Court of Policy, after pass. ing the Emigration Bills, bad adjourned till the 13th September. The Trinidad journals contain no news.

The police•constable said that when he found the prisoner he was very much out of breath, as if with running. He denied that he was the man they wanted. A lad named Gilbert proved that on the same evening as the robbery was committed he picked up the two cheques in the street near where the prisoner had passed along in his flight. Mr. PARRY contended that the case was merely one of identity, and not sufficiently clear against the prisoner. _ In Antigua the Legislature has voted 3,0001. to encourage the introduction of Portuguese emigrants. In Montserrat several estates had been sold at ruinous prices. A severe gale visited Barbadoes on the 16th cf August, and did some damage to property in the in terior of the island. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. The prisoner, who is a well-known character, was tried at these sessions in July, and acquitted on a charge of stealing a gold watch from the person of the well-known pugilist, the Tipton Slasher. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The following is the official report presented to the Holstein Chamber of General %Villisen'a re cent unsuccessful attempts to force the Danish litres on the Schlei : " The day before yesterday (the 12th) a division of our army undertook a reconnoisance against the left wing of the enemy, by which the object proposed in the movement was fully attained. " The left of the enemy's position, who held Ko chend9rff and Osterbye and the vicinity, as well as Eckernforde and Fieckerbye, with a force of about 6,000 men, was attacked by our avant garde and our first brigade- ' and driven across th e S c hl e i a t Missunde. The enemy, by this movement, abandoned all their field works in front of Eckernforde and near Holm and Missunde, and retired across the bridge at the latter point with precipitation, and not without consider able loss. Here a conflict began in the afternoon by a heavy fire of artillery from both banks of the Schlei, which continued till six o'clock. Th e enemy, l ate i n the afternoon, brought out a strong force of artillery on the north bank opposite Missu n d e , f rom w h ence they could command the whole of th e groun d on t h e south of the passage (the H o l s t e i n position). A s it was not the intention of the General to force the pas sage of the Schlei at this point, towards evening he ordered the firing to cease, and withdrew the troops to Osterbye • and Hurnmelfeldt. The Danish garrison of Eckernforde had retired to the north without making any resistance. Our troops, who had advanced to the Borbyer Mill, were not allowed the water. Only a few i t to totakea possession bombardment of the r place, om patrols were sent through the town, by whom many of our soldiers who had been lying in hospital there were liberated. Yet, notwithstanding the town was not taken, the enemy with useless cruelty fired on many of the houses. The Gebion frigate, held by Prussian troops, was also fired on, and a timber-yard in its immediate vieinity was set on fire. " All the troops that were engaged in the operations have won the approval of the General. All the huts, field-works, and block-houses of the Danes south tf Missunde are destroyed ; about 50 prisoners have fallen into our hands. " was yesterday again in the possession of the enemy. Danish The town shipsof in tbe Eckernforde, which is commanded by theharbour, " Of our loss in killed and wounded, which appears to have bees' not insignificant, no official list has yet been published. We have lost no prisoners. The loss of the enemy is, according to the estimate of the General, much greater than our own. " The army has gained fresh confidence in its strength, and eagerly anticipates a renewal of the conflict." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 20, 1850. Michael M‘Donald, John St. Leger, and Martin St. Leger, who were convicted before Mr. Justice Tal fourd, on Wednesday, upon two indictments for as milts upon police-constables, were brought up for judgment, and the first-named prisoner was sentenced to be kept to bard labour fur ten months, and the others for one year. Robert Archer, 21, and Francis Davis, 20, were indicted for stealing 357/. 145., the property of Alfred Greenland. Mr. Parry prosecuted, Mr. Robinson and Mr. M. Prendergast defended the prisoners. The circumstances of this case have been given very recently in the police reports. The prosecutor was in the service of Messrs Sanders and Co., cheese mongers, Collingwood-street, Southwark, and on the 15th of August he was sent to the Southwark branch of the London and Westminster Bank with a large sum of money, consisting of notes, gold, and silver, which he was to pay in on their account. As he was going through a passage near St. Saviour's Dock he was assailed by the prisoners and another man, and, after using a good deal of violence towards him they succeeded in getting the bag from him and then ran off, Archer carrying the bag. An alarm was raised, and the prisoners were taken into custody after a chase for some distance, and the bag and its contents were fortunately recovered. The third man succeed in making his escape. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners, and they were sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. EXPERIMENTS at PORTSMOUTH. Captain Clads, C B , of her Majesty's ship Excel lent, at Portsmouth, recently made a series of experi ments which proved satisfactorily that shot could be made to take a considerable diverging course than going in a direct line to the object they were directed against, and that the result could be depended upon with great certainty, by adopting certain simple means to effect the intended divergence. The expe riments were made with 32-pounder and 68-pounder solid shot, the shot being prepared for the purpose by having a hole bored on one side of about an inch and a half in diameter, which is afterwards filled with a plug made of wood. The extraction of the metal from one side of the shot alters the centre of gravity, and the direction of the shot, when fired according as the wooden pluggc d side is placed upwards or down wards, or to the right or left when loading the gun. The result of the experiments with 32-pounder shot, plugged as described, showed that when fired with the usual service charge of gunpowder, 10Ib., with the plug placed to the right of the gun, and the piece of ordnance directed against a target in the usual way, the shot when fired diverged to the extent of 50 yards to the right of the target ; and when the plug IN as placed to the left side of the gun, the divergence when fired was 50 yards to the left of the target. On placing the plugging side of the shot downwards in the gun, the shot when fired fell 400 yards short of the target, and when the plugged side of the shot was placed up wards in the gun, the shot when fired ranged 400 yards beyond the target. Nearly the same result was obtained in a number of experiments. The ex periments with the 68 pounder shot, bored and plugged in a similar manner, gave more extraordinary results, as the plug when placed downward in the gun tell 600 yards short of the object aimed ; and when the plug was placed upwards in the gun it went 600 yards beyond it. When the plug was placed to the right it diverged betwixt 60 and 70 yards before it reached the distance of the target, and the same distance to the left when the plug was placed to the left. Several members of the select committee left Woolwich yesterday morning for Shoeburyness, to carry on experiments at that range with the shot prepared in the same manner as the experiments were made with at Portsmouth. Thirty-six of the 32- pounder shot to be fired at Shoeburyness have holes made on one side 1 I inch in diameter, and to such depth as would withd raw one pound weight of the metal of . the shot. Thirty-six shot have been pre pared by boring holes two inches in diameter, and extracting two pounds of metal from each, and a num ber of 68-pounders have been prepared by boring holes 2i inches in diameter, and extracting four pounds of metal. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. We have stated that orders have been issued for the re-commissioning of the Bellerophon, 7s, Captain Baynes, C. 8., on paying her off, on arrival at Devon port from the Mediterranean. She bill be re-com missioned by Captain the Right lion. Lord George Paulet (1833), and manned with an advanced com plement of 300 officers and men. Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott proceeded to Spithead yesterday morning in the Portsmouth yacht, with the gentlemen of the pay office, and paid advance to the Fox, 42, frigate, Commodore Lambert, and Dragon, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard. Tne Apollo was paid " down." No orders are yet down for the sailing of these vessels, but it is supposed that the Thetis for Lisbon, the Fox for the East Indies, and the Dragon for the Mediterranean, will sail either on Saturday or Sunday, as we have already stated. Apollo, troop-ship, Commander Rswstorne, was towed out of harbour to Spithead, and afterwards was paid six months' wages. As she cast off her moor ings a man fell overboard, but fortunately caught hold of a rope thrown to him and was hauled on board. Adventure, transport, Master-Commander Wil. lington, baying embarked stores for Plymouth yard, was towed out by the Echo steamer, and proceeded; it is said she will be paid off at that port after dis charging her stores. _ _ Black'Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Master-Commander Cook, arrived at Portsmouth, from Queenstown yes terday morning (the Admiralty having proceeded from Holyhead to London by rail) ; she coaled and proceeded on to Woolwich. Caradoc, Holy head steam-packet, is lying in Ports mouth Harbour, waiting Admiralty orders to be paid off. Itinribution, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, is at the buoy off the King's stairs, Portsmouth. The day for her going to Spithead is not yet fixed ; she is having Captain Crispin's engine -room telegraph fixed ; which we hear is also to be placed on board every war steamer, and is a most useful, simple, and necessary appendage, especially where the noise of the engine working, the steam blowing off, &c., en tirely prevents the human voice from being heard. We hope to see, also, before long, the method of blowing off the sham through the bottom of the vessel, as adopted in the Victoria and Albert, and Fairy, carried out on board all Government steamers. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICIJ, SEPT. 19.—Chief Engineer—John Vickers, to the lt:tribution steam frigate, at Ports mouth. Mate—George W. P. Edwards (1850), to the Re ribution. Second Engineer—John Cowley, to the Dragon steam-frigate at Portsmouth. Midshipman—George flughe,, to the Albion, 90. Tne Apollo troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, after embarking the two companies of Royal Artillery at Portsmouth to-morrow, will proceed to Cork and embark detachments of the line at that port to fill up the vacancies in the head-quarters of the regiments at Jamaica and Barbadoes and other stations in the West Indies. ITALY. The Conserratore Costituzionale of Florence quotes letters from Rome of the 9th, from which it appears that the organic laws foundtd upon the motu proprio of September are to be published on the 20th inst. at the latest. The same correspondence says that Chevalier Pinelli had a private audience of the Pope on the Gth, but that his reception was very cool. It adds, however, that when Signor Pinelli was about to leave Rome, despairing of being received in his official character, he received from his Holiness an invitation to defer his departure. The Commune ltaliano of Milan, of the 13th, on the contrary, says that Signor Pinelli is on his way back to Turin. The Concordia of Turin of the 12th states, on the faith of a traveller from Verona, that at a late ma noauvre executed by th e t roo ps of the camp n ear th at city, the Croats, whether from mistake or otherwise, fired with b a ll upon the officers of their staff, and killed a captain of engineers. The Opinione also mentions the fact. The King of Naples has ordered his Court to go into mourning for two months on account of the death of Louis Philippe. The Court of Florence has gone into mourning for a fortnight for the same reason. CORONER'S INQUEST.--OnWednesday Mr.W. Payne, the coroner, held an inquest at Guy's Hospital on the body of Alexander Duprez Denning, aged 16, a son of the drill master belonging to the Royal Ordnance School, Carshalton, who was run over by one of the fire-engines belonging to the London Establishment whilst proceeding to render as sistance at the disastrous explosion which occurred on Monday last at Spitalfields. A great number of witnesses were exa mined by the Coroner, from whose evidence it appeared that whilst the engine from Watling-street station was proceed ing along the Poultry towards the scene of . the late explo sion, the deceased, whilst in the act of crossing the road towards the Mansion-house, ran against the pole of the engine, and before the driver could pull the horses up the wheels of the heavy machine passed over him. He was immediately placed in a cab and removed to the above hospital, where he died from the injuries received. It was clearly proved that neither the driver of the engine nor any of the firemen were to blame, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." VORACIT. EXTRAORDINART.—OR Saturday last, as the c. ok in a family, residing in the parish of St. Leonard, was preparing a duck for the spit, her eyes were considerably dilated on seeing a large Mining mass, of a golden hue, ern bedded in the contents of the duck's gizzard, and no doubt visions of "treasure trove" passed through her mind. With a great deal of anxiety the unexpected, but welcome, some thing (the cook could not tell what) was released from its coating of small stones, barley, &c., and sans ceremonie sub mated to " analysation" by the heads of the family. After mature deliberation it proved to be nothing more nor less than a brass tip belon g i ng to a cow's horn.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Downes and James Brown were charged with the following offence : Joseph Smith, of Leigh, in Lancashire, cotton factory operative, at present stopping at Sparrow's coffee-house, Euston-square, said on Wednesday, about half-past eleven o'clock, he saw the prisoner Brown near Pimlico Palace, and asked him the way to London-bridge. Brown said he was going that way, and would show him. When near Westminster bridge complainant was about to take a boat to Lon don-bridge, when the prisoner Brown said he would stand a glass of ale for goud fellowship's sake. Com plainant went into a house and had some ale. Downes came in and drank with them. Downes and Brown pretended to toss for a dinner, and afterwards they invited complainant to a skittle-ground. Brown asked him if he had any money. Complainant replied, he had none to spare for skittles, but at last he pulled out some money, and was induced to play at skittles with Dowries, and he lost the money. Brown then said he would play Downes, and win all the money back if complainant would find more money. Com plainant took several 5/. notes and a 101. note from his pocket. Brown then offered to toss Downes for 101., and the challenge having been accepted, Brown lost. Trio two prisoners then took him to another ,house, and Downes and Brown pretended to toss for 201. Dowries won, and Brown got 151. from him (complainant), telling him that he owed Downes Si. Downes and Brown afterwards left the house, and complainant followed to look for them, but could not find them, and he then told the police what had occurred. The complainant said, he had come up to London to receive a legacy, and the money he was sharped out of was what he had received. When he first met with B own he had 281. ss. in his possession. He had only drunk a glass of ale or so, but after drinking the ale he felt quite bewildered. Police-constable Mould, 123 C, apprehended Downes at the George skittle-ground, Drury-lane. Downes had three 51. notes and other money in his possession. Brown was also taken into custody, in the Broadway, with four sovereigns in his possession. The prisoners were both well-known "skittle sharps." They were remanded till Thursday next. LAMBETH. Daniel Good, a smartly-dressed youth, the son of he notorious Daniel Good, who was executed a few years since for the inhuman murder and burning the body of Hannah Jones, at Roehampton, was brought before Mr. Elliott, on a summons charging him with misconduct as an apprentice. Mr. James Wheeler, a ladies' shoemaker, deposed that on the 28th of October, 1845, the defendant had been bound to him as an apprentice.by the officers of the parish of Lambeth, to learn his trade. For some time the youth went on exceedingly well indeed, until he had acquired an excellent knowledge of his busi ness; but latterly his conduct became intolerable. It was his custom to leave his (Mr. Wheeler's) house soon after he left off work, at 8 o'clock at night, and proceed to a public-house, and remain there until 11 or 12 o'clock drinking and smoking, and when he remonstrated with bim on such conduct he became very insolent. The complainant mentioned Monday morning last as the particular occasion on which the defendant had misconducted himself, and said that on that morning he visited the public-house. The defendant said that on the morning last spoken of he was suffering from a severe affection of the chest, which was brought on by the number of hours which he was kept working for his master, and had gone to the public-house for something to relieve him. He worked, he said, early 'and late for his master, but finding that his health had become injured, and that the hours which he worked were too much for him, he agreed to allow his master 12s. a week out of his earnings, and this he regularly kept up, but his master was not satisfied with this, and wanted 14s. a week, and his (defendant's) non-compliance with this was the sole cause of the present complaint. The complainant in reply to the questions of Mr. Elliot, admitted that he had agreed to let the defend ant work his own time, on the understanding that he was to allow him 12s. a week out of his earnings ; but added that he was quite capable of earning at least a guinea a week, if he chose to work. • Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that, according to the com plainant's own showing, he had agreed to the defend ant's working at any hours that suited him, provided he paid him the 12g. a we€k, and asked how many hours he wished the defendant to work ? The com plainant replied that from six in the morning until eight at night were the usual hours in the trade, and those he should require. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that fourteen hours were too many. Twelve hours were quite as many as an apprentice should be asked to work, and, in fact, they should not be more. The defendant said the whole grievance, as he had before stated, was in his not allowing his master 14s , and not 12a. a week ; but he was willing to allow even the former sum, provided his master in the first instance permitted him to get an additional suit of clothes. It was, however, ultimately arranged that the 12s. should be paid, and the defendant was advised to keep a way from the public-house and abstain from late hours. • IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.—Mr. Monaghan has been appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, at the reduced salary of 4,0001. a year. Mr. Hatchell is the new Attorney-General, and there is little doubt that Mr. Sergeant O'Brien will be Soli citor-General. The promotion of Mr. Hatchell will, as a matter of course, compel him to resign his seat for Windsor, for which he will be again a candidate. PROGRESS OF EMIGRATION.—The tide of emigra tion still flows as vigorously as at any period during the spring or summer, from Cork, .Waterford, and various other ports. Cork seems to be the great port of departure from the south, and there is really a species of mania for emigration. Daily sailing vessels, freighted with emigrants, chiefly of the better class of farm ers , t ra d ers, and country shop keepers, are leaving for the United States or Ca nada. One large vessel left Queenstown on Saturday morning with 370 passengers, many of them fami , lies who had been in the rank of small gentry or opu lent traders, and other vessels are taking in passen gers at Cork. Meantime the steamers of two rival companies, plying between Cork and Liverpool, are generally crowded with emigrants of an humble class, who intend to take shipping at the latter port for America, and on some occa.ions the applicants are so very numerous that the masters of the steamers are under the necessity, from motives of prudence, to refuse many of them a pas-age across the channel. When we consider that emigration has been in progress on a gigantic scale since the dis astrous potato failure in 1846, it is difficult to account for the vast numbers still flying from the country, even at this advanced period of the season, and en countering the hardships of a winter passage across the Atlantic. THE IRISH CATTLE TRADE.—A letter from Ar magh mentions that on Friday last several droves of cattle, from one of the great fairs of Connaught, passed through that town on the way to Belfast, hr shipment to Liverpool, and that the cattle seemed generally of a good breed and in tolerable condition. The extensive — clearances of the small occupiers in some of the western counties, and the emi gration of many of the farmers, have left large tracts without a human occupant, and the owners have placed herds of cattle and sheep to graze on the pastures. This change has led to a con siderable increase of cattle breeding, and hence the new traffic in the shipping of cattle for England by the route to Belfast, from the north-western cou )- ties. In Galway, Roscommon, and other pa r t s o f Connaught, tillage farming o f ! a superior kind h.a latterly made decided progress ; but more generally mere grazing, which affords no employment what ever, has been adopted; and a more pernicious sys tem, as regards the welfare of the country, could scarcely be devised. Some few stock farmers in the west, wbo possess capital and intelligence, raise green crops for winter-feeding, thus giving fair employ ment whilst adopting the only mode of securing a good profit on their business. ATTEMPT TO BURN A CHURCH IN THE COUNTY OF WEXFORD.—The Dublin Evening Post has the fol lowing from a correspondent in Gorey :—" On Sunday night the church in Lord Curtown's demesne was entered by some evil disposed person or persons, and set on fire in several places. Happily the fires did not take effect, as the church, though greatly dis figured, was not seriously injured. It is the subject of wonder to all the neighbourhood why such a ma licious act should have been committed, for his Lordship is universally respected and beloved, and devotes his whole life to the good of the people. It must be considered that no disrespect could have been intended towards him by this outrageous act." REDUCTION or RENTs.—The Earl of Meath las given a reduction of 20 per cent. to his tenantry, to be applied to the improvement of their farms. CARRYING AWAY CROPS.—The Cork Constitution contains the following :—" On Saturday night, twelve o'clock, about forty men, with horses and carts, as sembled at Alonehawn, on the estate of G. S. Barry, Esq , la tween Watergrasshill and Milleton, for the purpose of removing the crops, Ste , belonging to a tenant named Michael Mantle, which had been seized and in ebarge of keepers for non-payment of rent. 25,00 11,363 1,527 11,508 13,369 38,245 26,605 15,991 2,803 15,475 30,333 31,835 6,657 16,057 75,260 9,071 pleted, and this route will then, the directors confidently believe, be adopted as ti o general one for the Mediter ranean, the East, and for the Overland route to India. " The division of the joint station at the London bridge terminus took place on the 2d of August, in ace cordaece with the Act of Parliament regulating it. The directors expect all the works, buildings, and platforms connected with the terminus will be completed within two months from the present time, and it is certain that great advantage will then accrue in the management of the traffic. The lease of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway was sealed by both companies and ex • changed on the 15th of March last; the rent payable by this company, of 41,000/. For annum, being at the rate of Si. 2 , . 6d. per cent. per annum on the capital of 800,0001., commencing from that date. The directors anticipate a growing traffic on this line, and they trust that, although some time may elapse before it prove re munerative, the proprietors of the South-Eastern Com pany will obtain that credit for promptly maintaining chat engagement to which their good faith entitles them. The improvements that were required at the Brick layers' Arms Station for the goods department are rapidly approaching completion, which is the case also with the accommodation required to be provided on the North Kent and Reading, Guildford, and Reigate lines fir the like purpose. " The directors think the proprietors may safely anti cipate a gradual and satisfactory increase of revenue from the goods traffic. The traffic at Folkestone, in merchandise from France, is increasing; the Customs duties received at that port, which were 4,0084 in 1817, 8,218/. in 1848, and 42,260/. in 1849, amounted in the last six months to 41,3161., which affords satisfactory evidence of the preference which the port of Folkestone will obtain when it can present equal facilities in all other respects, as well as the advantage of speedy deli very. The South-Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company are making arrangements for a daily steamer for the carriage of merchandise between Boulogne and Folkestone. Hitherto there has been one on only three days of the week. Conveniences will be provided at the London-bridge terminus for the examination of valuable goods as soon as possible. The establishment fur the repairs of carriages and waggons has been removed to the new buildings at the station at Ashford. The JOINT-STOCK.
