A meeting of the registered shareholders of this com pany was this day held at the London Tavern, liisteips gate- street, for the purpose of confirming an agreement made by the directors with the directors of the Great Western of Bengal Railway Company for the amal‘a mation of the two cow pailie-e and of ailopting the mea sures necessary for carrying the same into effect, and also of receiving a report from the directors, The chair was taken at one o'clock by Sir G. Larpent, chairman of the company. The notice convening the meeting' having been read, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to read the report of tll! directors, from which it appeared that the company d been registered under the Act of 7 and 8 Vic., c. 110; that all the necessary conditions had been complied with; and that the directors had brought their negotia tions with the Eaat India Company to a close. The terms upon which the lion. East India Company had previously proposed to sanction the construction of two sections of the great trunk line of railroad from Calcutta to Delhi, through liirzvore, one in the lower and the other in the upper provicces, were:—that the land for the railway should be granted free of all cost for ninety nine years; and that interest a: the rate of four per cent. per annum for fifteen years on :he capital employed on these sections (no. exceed;ng 3,000,000/. sterling) should be advanced by the lion. East India Company, such interest to commence as soon as the contract should be arranged, and the sum of 500,0001. paid into tho East India Company's treasury; repayment of said interest being made when the profits of the line should exceed four per cent. The directors did not consider these terms sufficiently favourable to induce them to propose to the shareholders the adoption thereof. The directors considered the rate of guaranteed in terest too low, the peried too sive% and the sum re quired to be paid down too large. Upon all these peinee the directors were happy to state that the Hon. East India Company bad met them with fairness and libe rality, tn I had agreed to raise the rate of intereat from four to five per cent.; to exetaid tie term f. om fitteen to twenty-five ears; and to require 100.000/. only to he paid upon the arrangement of the contract. The terms, therefore, which the directors had now to sut.mit to the consideration of the shareholders were—that the East Indian Railway Company was to undertake to construct in the first instance, and to keep and work when constructed, two sections of their proposed line of railway between Calcutta and the north western pro vinces in India—one section in Upper and the other in Lower India; and toexpend thereon the sum of 3,000.000/. sterling. The Railway Company was to carry the Govern ment mails free of coat, aad the troops and military stores at the lowest fares charged to passengers and goods. In consideration whereof, the East India Company was to guarantee a minimum dividend of five per cent. per annum upon sums which, in the course of three years from the date of the railway company signing the first contract with the &Ist India Company, should be paid into the East India Company's treasury by the railway company, to an extent nut exceeding 3,000,0001. ster ling. This guarantee was to continue tor a period of twenty-five years, and the payment of the interest was to commence as soon as the pa) ment into the East India Company's treasury should amount to 100.000 L and was to be made in London halt yearly. The East India Com pany was to provide and lease to the railway company, without charg e or exp-r4e, for ninety-nine years. all th e land required for the railway, the land remaining the properly of the Government. When the profits of the railway exceed tire per cent., the excess was to be di vided between tie East India Company and the railway company, until the amount which may have been ad• vanced by the East India Company shall have been repaid: thus, supposing the line to pay 10 per cent., the proprietary would receive 7 per cent., and the Govern raent_2f, until the advances should be repaid, when the whole of she profits would revert to the proprietors.t It was the unanimous opinion of the directors, that these terms were such as they coull most fuliy recommend the proprietors to adept; offering as they did advantages superior to those enjoyed by any railway company at home or on the continent, and remaving the difficulties which, in. times like the present, might otherwise pre• vent the railway company from raising the necessary capital. for an undertaking in so distant a cauntry as India. The gurrantee established the railway payments up to 3,000,060/. sterling on the basis of a Government 5 per cent. stock, and offvred a safe and eligible invest ment for money at a fair rate of interest, payable half yearly in London, for twenty-five years. In addition to this certainty, the proprietors might reasonably indulge the hope of an early participation in the profits of the railway, which had been shown, by the data laid before them in April last, to promise a large addi tional compensation to the persons who might be disposed to embark their capital in the undertaking. Should the proprietors concur in these views, the direc tors hoped that authority would be given to them to close with the proposals of the Honourable East India Com psny. The directors were prepared to take immediate measures for carrying out the undertaking ; and they hoped to be able to make such arrangements as would ensure the commencement of the works during the cahl season of the present year. To accomplish this, a com mand of funds to some amount would be required, and they relied, therefore, upon the proprietors immediately registering their shares; for upon the number of shares registered, every arrangement must depend. The direc tors would receive payment in anticipation of calls, so as to allow parties to avail themselves of the East India Company's guarantee at once; but until the registration of the shares be completed, the directors could not state positively what amount per share could be so paid; they were prepared, however, to take the responsibility of re ceiving 15/. per share, expecting that the whole amount required would not exceed 20!. out of the 50!. share. The proposed amalgamation with the Great Western Railway Company of Bengal would be upon the follow. ing terms 1. That the subscribed shares in the Great Western of Bengal Railway Company be exchanged for an equal number of shares in the Consolidated Jompany. "2. That the relative expenses of the two companies be equitably adjusted by mutual arrangement. "3. That three of the directors of the Great Western of Bengal Railway Company do join the Consolidated Board. •• 4. And that the claims of the officers who may be displaced by the amalgamation, be considered by the Consolidated Board." The Hon. Baronet then went on to say that no time had been lost in laying the result of the nego tiation with the Board of Control before the share holders. He always considered it necessary to have a subetantial proprietary; that had been ootaine4 by the company to their fullest satisfaction. It was most im portant to know the setual amount of shares registered, because if the shares were regist+ red to any consider able extent the calk would of course be considerably less. For the present year no larger sum would be re quired than 100,000 L, which would be sufficient to corn mence proceedings at once in India ; but it must be borne in mind that 5 per cent. would he paid to the shareholders upon that sum. With respect to the amalgamation referred to in the report, he felt that they would be adding strength to their concern by taking these parties into the management with the present direction. Proposals of amalgamation had been made by other companies, but, under existing circumstances, the directors could not recommend them, to the proprietors; but, as this undertaking was clearly understood to be the first to w hi c h the sanction an e d influence of the Hon, East India C ompany would b hoped that all parties desirous t•f n, the directors companyrailroads in India would unite in giving thatcaaraltnotthTst upon the success of which the future extension of the . system of railway communication i n I n di a depended. It the great line connecting the metropoli s of India. with the north-western provinces were accomplished, there could be little doubt of similar undertakings in other parts of India being ultimately adopted. If the present opportunity be lost, it was problematical whether this improved mode of communication, off: ring such adv . antsges to British India—such additional security to • the Government—and such benefits to the whole empire—would not be delayed for many years, to the serious loss of the present generation. It was intended to send Mr. S•ephenson, C.E., out to India with the staff of the corr pan; ; that gentleman possessed the fullest confid. nce of the directors, and he had rendered moat 4.-ffiaent services, hitherto, to them. With air. Stepheroon would also be sent out other persens con nected with the whole machinery of a ailway comp ail, s. I was the intention of the company to e •ucate the natives of India in the use of the machinery connected with rail way matters.—(Re hear. ) was one of tne geesater't He felt that this subject s had a Governor-iportance.

Mr. ANDERSON wished to know whether the pro. prietors would be held liable for any amount beyond the 3,000,000/. stated to he the eapital of the company, to be expended in any Pxtetbion of the proposed railw a y.

W. CtrsOin, E q., .I.p. tor Salisbury, presided. A vast numb, rof *llan-holders were present. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the seal affixed to the r: glitter of proprietors, and the previous minutes confirmed, The SECRETARY (Mr. Laurentz Campbell) read the folk:wing report, which, as it is of an important charac ter, we give as submitted to the shareholders:— •" The Directors are happy to state, that notwith standing the very great reduction in the fares of this railway, the long continued winter, and the general commercial depression, the result of the half-year's traffic enables them to recommend the same dividend as was paid at the corresponding period of the last year. The gross income of the past six months amounts to ... £192,432 17 0 The grow expenses, including interest on borrowed capital, amount to ... 105,488 17 3 Showing a balance of £86,943 19 9 of w tech after the payment of the divideed ot 1/. 17s. Gd. per snere, subject to income-tax, there will remain 39(3 4s. 9d. applicable to the revenue account of the current half year. " The directors also recommend, in conformity with the notice cenveyed in the last half yearly repert, the payment of 6 0001 to the holders of old 401. shares (con solidated eighths), being at the rate of 51. per cent. p r annum on their capital, from Ist Janu iry to 30th June last, from which day the 401. shareholders will be entitled to dividend rateably with the proprietors generally. " The Salisbury and Bishopstoke Branch, 22 milts in I. length, was opened lk traffic in March, and the South ampton and Dorchester Railway, 61 miles in length, was opened in June last, but a failure in the tunnel at Southampton, which has interposed a break between that line and the main railway, has prevented the new line from being worked with all the convenience which could have been wished. The directors anticipate that this obstruction will be shortly removed, and that a large accession to the traffic will then ensue, " The directors of the Southampton and Dorchester Company have hitherto not felt at liberty to acquiesce in an amalgamation between this proprietary and their own, but this difficulty no longer existing, and your directors considering that such a course mu: t be mutually beneficial, will at the present meeting request your authority to perfect an arrangement for the complete union of the two companies. " With reference to the works of the comp iny, now under execution, the directors are happy to report that the extension to 'Waterloo-bridge is in a most satisfack try state of forwareness. " All the branches and extensions sanctioned in the session of 1846 are in progress ; and the directors see no cau.e to doubt that the branches 'rem Wet bridge to Cnertsey, and 'rota b'areham to Cosliato may be opened in the spring, and those to Godalming and Alton, in the summer of next year. The line between Basingstoke arid Salisbury being of 1-eavier character, its completion must not la, anticipated before the spring ot 1849. " Several purehsses of land have been made on the London-bridge Extension and Hampton Crum Branch, and beth will be shortly under contract. " Having thus brit fly noticed the operations of the company und-r their existing posers, the directors are confident that the proprietors will feel satisfaction in reviewing the important proceedings in Parliament during the session which has just terminated. " In the metropolitan district the company have pro- cured powers to widen the main line between the Rich mond Junction and Nine Elm , and to take adch tional property for enlarging the site of the proposed station near Waterloo- bridge. " In the Richmond and Windsor districts, Acts have been passed for making extensions from Richmond by Staines to Windsor (including a lcep, passing by Chis wick, Brentford, and Hounslow), and from Staines by Egham, to the main line near Farnbrough,with a branch to Chk-rtsey. In the capital of these undertakings (amoueting to 800,000 L) this company hold 520,0001. An agreement for a perpetual lease of these lines has also 1 been entered into, and powers of purchasing them have been obtained. " In the Portsmouth and Brighton districts an Act has be-n obtained for effecting arrangements between the Brighton Company and this company for the joint ownership of the Brighton Company's line between Cosham and Portsmouth, and for giving the Brighton Cempany powers of running on the South-Western line between Wandsworth and Waterloo-bridge. This company have also acquired powers for making an in dependent line from Cosham into Portsmouth. With re gird to the larger question of furnishing further railway accommodation in the country lying intermediate between the South • Western and Brighton main lines, no progress has been made, but the directors deem it right to take this public opportunity of emphatically denying all in tention or desire to thwart the public requirements in this respect. In entire consistency with their repeated opinions they have certainly urged, that to execute the direct Portsmouth line would not be the beet course for fulfilling those requirements; and they trust that the time is at hand when arrsneements may be complt ted fir perfecting the railway accommodation of this district in a manner more likely to serve the public interests. " this company have o btain e d the sanc t ion o f Parlia ment 'for making a railway from Andover to Soutearep ton, and power to purchase the Andover and Redbridge Canal, on which the proposed railway may be, to a great extent, executed. Arrangements have also been made with the promoters of the Manchester and Southampton Railway, by which (iii the event of their procuring an Act, in the next session, for the execution of such part of their line as lies between Andover and Cheltenham), they will, on contributing half its cost, become joint owners of the Andover and Southampton line between Andover and Romsey, and will hate rights of running over the remainder of this company's line, by Romsey sod Redbridge, to Southampton, and of using this corn panv's stations there, on term s o f reciproca l advantage. " - Of the branches promoted in connexion with the Southampton and Dorchester line, three, namely—to the Southampton Water at Eling, to Lymington, and to Weymouth—have been sanctioned by Parnainent. The Bill for making the branch to Blantiliird has been prose cuted successfully through the Comm-me, but owing to its being heard by the Committee to whom the lines west of Salisbury were reterred, it was necessarily so delayed, as to prevent its being pass. d into a law during the late session. It will be resumed !text session, when, the op position to it having been already fully heard, no doubt of its si.ccess need be entertained. • With respect to the great extension lines from Sal sbury, westward, although the directors are unable to report final success, they believe that it can be no longer doubtful. The necessity of Waiting tor the re• port of the commissioners 01 railway* upon the financial positioe of the company, led to considerable delay in the first instance, and the inquiry itself, conducted as it was before a committee quite unexampled in the patience and care with which they investigatel the subject, was protracted to so great a length (fifty-three days), that it was only on the 2d of July that the Committee unanimously decided in favour of these lines. These Bilis have, therefore, been suspended under the older* of the Houses until the next session, and after the un paralleled examination by three Committees in the last and present year, and their unanimous decisions in favour of the execution of such lines by this company and their allies, any further attempts to oppose the opinions of the district, and of Parliament, can scarcely succeed even to the extent of causing further delay. " The Bill for extending the period for executing the Exeter and Exmouth Railway, and for authorising this company to subset the towards its capital, and lease or urchase it on the terms which nave at a former meet trig been sanctioned by the proprietors, has received the Royal Assent. "West of E xeter, the directors thatr s e t, gre r t epor the opposition refer re d to in their la was submitting the Pl y mouth sod Truro ruro unsueeesAll, - and ,the compwereline,pretvoentthetel consideration of Parliament on their meeurniiti.derUdndeir these ciacutnstar c es , the Directors tie .

"'lice Bill for improving Sutton Pool, the great com mercial harbour of Plymouth,. and tor authorising this company to subscribe towards it, aid to assume an ade quate share in its management, bas passed into a law, and the directors believe that the company have thus obtained a position of the utmost value in Plymoth , where the strongest feeling in favour of the extension thither of a railway, on the national gauge, continues to prevail. • " .11e Bill for authorising the lease of the Taw Vale Railway by this Company, was referred to the Commit teeo which had charge of the Bills east of Exeter, and from this circumstance could not be brought under dis time the Taw in,, . n i ,i )n before the 9th of July last.

Lured plans. " With respect to the capital intended to be raised under the resolutions of the special general meeting held in November lust, the proprietors are probably aware, that through the suspension of some of the company's Bills, the directors have failed to acquire powers to create so large an amount as was then contemplated " The sums authorized to be raised in shares by the Company's Acts of the present Session, are For subscription towards and purchase of the ( Windsor Lines £Boo,ooo „ The-Andover and Southampton-Line ... 300,000 The Widening of the Main Line and En large went of the York road Station ... 150,000 „ Furthkr Subscriptif.n towards the Mr chester and Branches „ The New Works conneeten with the Portsmoulh and Faiehani Line Su'osaiption towards the Exeter and Ex moo. ti Itailwav he Sutton iiarti atr Improvement (irly month) ..... 15,200 Total £1.775,200 " la consequence of this limitation of the capital to about one third of the sum intended in November last, the directors propose the issue of Third• Shares instead of integral shares of 50/. and 40/, and as Parliament has prohibited the payment of in•erest out of the new capital, the directors recommend the following plan, which will give the holders of the new Stock, at lea-t a just equiva lent fbr the proposed modificatio 1 of the terms of their subscription, and will be, wider the circumstances, the most convenient for the present shareholders, viz.:— " That there shall be immediately created such a number of thirds of a 50/. share as shall be sufficient to give each holder of a 50/. scrip certificate the option of taking one such third, and each holder of five 40/. scrip certificates the option of taking four such thirds. " That the deposits already paid shall be treated as so much paid up on the third shares, and that the remainder of each third shall be called up iu seven payments of 11. 13s. 4d. each, at intervals of three months, the first of such payments to be made on the 30th September next, and the last on the 30th Alsrch, 1849. " That dividend on such thirds shall accrue from the Ist July, 1848, upon the amount which shall have been then paid in respe ct of calls thereupon, and upon all sums paid subsequen'ly to that day from the time of their respective pa) ments, rateably with the other divi dend bearit g shares in the company ; but no interest shall be payable in respect of any sum paid on calls pre viously to the Ist July, 1848, but paymeuts in advance of calls, if tendered shall be received, and interest at 51. per cent. per annum allowed. " Should the proptietors adopt this recommendation of the directors, the ready acquiescence of the scrip. holdere may be confidently anticipated. "The attention of the directors has been called by various holders of 401. shares to the inconvenience arising from the existence of this description of share, and the directors have therefore determined in framing the above terms, to avoid anything which m.ght hereafter increase their number ; but the holders of the 401. scrip may rely that every facility will he tiff 'riled them in the conversion of their scrip, should the terms above suggested to the proprietors be sanctioned at d acted upon. and as regards the existiug 401. shares, the difficulty felt by the holders of them will be removed by the conversion of all the fully paid up shares in the company into transferable stock in the c urse of the present autumn, and by adop ing the same process as regards all the other shares so soon as full payment shall have beet• made upon them. " In conclusion, the directors feel called upon, after a mature review and consideration of all the circumstances riffecti•oz the prey-nt position and future prospects of the South Western Company, to express a very decided opi nion char its affairs were ties r at any former period in a c .ndition so promising; and they feel confieh nt that tim-, and perseverence in the course which the proprietors have commenced with so much spirit, are alone neces nary to prove the correctness of this opinion."

The CHAIRMAN then proposed: the adoption of the I report and accounts, and addressed the meeting. He said he had always thought that a well digested report should supersede a speeeh of the chairman of a com pany ; but so many revolutioes—such extraordinary chan2es had recently taken place in the property of the company—thet he felt some remarks from him were necessary. Their affairs were in a most satisfactory sque.—(Cheers.) By the end of 1848 their lines would have stretched out as far as London-bridge, and would of accommodation to the throngs of people passing at ail times over Southwark, Bllckfriars, Waterloo, %lest minster and other bridges, and no doubt their line would be selected as the best means of getting to the coast-- more preferable than the route through Isleworth (by the Great W. stern), and the passengers would have sufficient accommte ation, excellent carriages— wire binds and woolen-wheeled carriages —which neither created noise our threw up the dust.—(Cheers.) The traffic had immensely increased, and the number of people now travelling on the roads was greater than be fere the line was made—at least the duty paid by coaches had much increased. The traffic at Slough was immense, but when their Windser line was made what a vast number of people would avail themselves ' of the line, because it would carry them directly on to I.e ndon-bridge. It could not be looked upon other than as a successful projt , ct.—(Cheers.) Then the Richmond line was equally important ; the South-Eastern had pes o ntb people e e pe other et ba. visitedrr..iwdag fa an;nanthde thdeirelettichromnotendblitnwee,nt saslected that as the route for getting their passengers from the west of the metropolis to Hungerford and the Lothnedopniettuoreßsriignhtthoen.couTrshee of th: Hampton y;e Court line nhetyhewfausihdiorne-- line would also be a fruitful source of tre 170 , 000 besides, the trade or the locality was consider4blear'. Guildford line bad new a double line of : e and the tra ffi c of that district had increased, and was increasing. The lines between Guildford and Godalming were heavy, but they were in a very forward state, and they might anticipate that the traffic to the coast by that route would be considerable. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the other lines men tioned in the report. At all the stations, with the PX ception of the Andover road, the traffic had greatly increased. The traffic of the docks at Southampton bad also materially increased ; 63 packets departed from the port in the course of a mouth. The distance between Havre and Southampton had recently been accomplished Joy one of their boats in six hours and quarter, and 163 packets passed between the pert and the Isle of Wight in the course of a month. The Dorchester line had just been re opened, and the mail train ran along it yester day. The people of Salisbury had testified their respect fur him in electing him as their Member, and he biped they would appreciate the kindness, especially as he bad polled more votes than any person did on any former occasion. —(Cheers.) The line which had recently passed the House of C. , rumons—between Exeter and Salisbury —would bring them a vast accession of traffic from the west. They proposed to erect large works at Salisbury, which would be a most convenient point for the Exeter as well as the old line. They had not derived a vast stun from the parent line during this year, owing to the reduction of fares, but they had the elements of prosperity in the Whole dis riot, especially as it was in creasing. He believed that their new line would yield a dividend of seven per cent. Dlr. Suusvii oecouded the adoption of the report r Mr SMITH required an explanation of the item 4,1641. I for " sundry petty disbursements." The CHAIRMAN said the expenses extended over a period o' the a yearn, and related 'tn the various new lines. To other questions he stated that 240.000/. was paid on the fifty shares-50,0001. or onet.fitth remained unpaid. The time was only three weeks past, and it would not be well to allow the names of their friends to be exposed for the gratification of any shareholder. The 'meeting, he was sure, would agree with him.— (Cheers.) The traffic frosts the west of England would, he believed. be satisfactory. The tariff in the new Bill was more than they were now taking.—(Cheers ) Mr. Sergeant GAZELER entered his protest acreinst the name of one shine defaulter not being made known —they ought to know who paid, and who did not pay -their calls. Mt. Strutt's Bill would have obviated this, and if he wanted an argum-nt in favour of that Bill he should find it in the general opposition of all railway companies to it.—(Applause.) It he had been the Hon. Member tor Salisbury he should not have opposed it. He gave the directors credit for not adopting the plan of other companies, and not increasing the fares as sums as Parliam , nt rose. They wanted no argument to strew that the Windsor line was a most important one. The Central Devon had bi en thrown out by the standing orders. He wished to know whether this was caused by the Honourable . Member for H.,niton (Mr. Locke, the engineer), and whether he intended to imitate the example of Mr. Stephenson, the engineer of the Manchester and Seuthampten, who had off. red to carry the line through the standing orders at his own expen-e.—(Hear, h.ar.) He wished to suggest that there should be a refreshment room on the line, or that one should be carried along with the trains.— (Laughter ) The CHAIRMAN repeated that the 50,0001. was but a small amount ; money was scarce, ani three wt eks had but elapsed since the time of payment, and the parties paid 5 per emit. interest. The Waterloo bridge line would be opened in July. 1848, and the London-bridge one as soon aftt r as p ,ssible. They had bought the shares held by the public in the Dorchester line, subject to the approval of the awed" g. They hail fee it their duty to give Mr. Cockbern a dinner at Richmond for his exer ti,ess.—(Cheers.) Mr. L. ;CRE, M.P., explained that he had employed most able men to survey the Cornwall line. But one or two es e-nld be blamed, and the errors ferretted out 6/ tr. Jchn Brune I were only such as had been passed by other committers without objection. If the directors wished it he would carry the line through the standing orders (No, ne)—but would 5001. com pensate him for guaranteeing 10,000/.—(Herir, hear.) They should recollect that this was but one of eight lines which the company had before Parliament la-t session. He was not the engineer of the Southampton and Dorchester. and was not therefore responsible for the tunnel. He had never charged the company for any thing but for his own •eivices. He never made a profit out of any one he employed. It was too much to ex pect him to be responsible tor the acts of those who were employed by the company.—(hear. hear.) In reply to two guestimate the CHAIRMAN replied that the Weeds and Forests had net expressed any dt sire to salter the Statism agreed upon by agreemet.t at Windsor. It was true the Greit Western in tended to reduce their fares, but he did net think they were entering into a ruinous competition with that. line. Even with the contemplated reduction of their fares, he believed that they should be enabled to pay 71 per cent. The GENTLEMAN who elicited these replies, said the Great Western would no doubt next year get their line to Windsor ; and by the lines they had obtained thy would be ► nabled to cross the river to join their line, tD get to flutigertorcl and aho to Lond..n-b r i, "_gf.. —(cries of "No, no.") Th.. gentle man admitted that h.- was a broad gauge propri. tor, but he held a greater stsko in narrow gauge lines fi e doubted much whether . tho lines to the west would be productive. The CHAIRMAN said they had 230 miles of railway, and 21,0001. a mile shire capital, and surely they could compete with the Great -Western. They certainly would t ,, ke a c ,, n , iderahle portion of the traffic of the Gnat Western b-tween Exeter and Lo,dan, Mr. BIRCIIAM explain d that the Great Western bad not yet reduc, d their fares, and it was competent for any one to site them for the difference mentioned in their Act. Bat the fares os the two companies would ulti mately he The CHAIRMAN stated, in reply to another gentleman, that the receipts of the Richmond line for the last six months amounted to 9,4721. Three quad ters of the Windsor line belonged to them, and they had money to buy the other quarter. Mr. CHADWICK, deputy chairman of the Staines line, stated, in reply to the gentleman above referred to, that the Great Western could only come to Vauxhall bridge. The cataracts of the Staines line had been taken at 8,0001. a mile, including bridges; and surel. at such a rate they could defy competition. fir he defitel the Great Western to get to Waterloo bridge under 1,000 0001.; but it the Great Western did carry on the line to Water loo-bridge, they would take two churches, besides im portant works, and•interferieg with Lambeth Palace. The CHAIRMAN said the Great Western line to Bat tersea would bring them a great accession of traffic. The report was then received unanimously, and a dividend of 11. 17e. 61. per share was declar, d, and also a resolution to pay 11. per share to the hAders of the consolidated eighths. A resolution was then pros used empowerinz the directors to purchase 9,000 shares in the Dorchester line. The CHAIRMAN stated that they proposed to buy these share;, with some 10ih shares, which had not been issued, and the market premium would be the value given for those shares. The resolution was agreed to. A resolution was next proposed for purchasing the Winds Staines, and South-Western line, at a pre mium of 41. Mr. OwEs . considered the proposition a job, and one which would merely bent•fit the holders of the 13,000 shares. The CHAIRMAN said the directors had no objection to wait for a short time to see what the line would produce, but they were so confident of the importance of th , line that they had no doubt on the matter. They simply wished to have the option-of doing so. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE moved that the agreement be entered into; which was s , conded by Mr. H. vs. • Mr: BIRCHAM said the directors simply sought the shareholders to confirm an ugreem, lit tutu which they had entered with the Windsor hne. The purchase of the line was quite optional. Mr. TITS, as one of the shareholders in the Windsor line, hoped the South Western would not exercise their option, as he believed, instead of being worth a premium of 41., it would be worth many 4 / 7 premiums. He had great difficulty in preventing the shareholders from with. drawing from the agreement. Mr. LACY, M.P., the chairman of the Windsor line, corroborated the statement of 2vir. Tite. Mr. LocKE, M.P., as a large sharele.lder in the South- Western, urged the • hareholders not to lose a day in perfecting the agreement. This was the first time he had ventured to offer an opiekn ou the affairs of the Company, not strictly of all engineering character. After considerable discussion, six hands were le Id up for the amendment, and the remainder in support of con firming the contract. The other resolutions mentioned in the report, those with respect to the Andover Canal and the Manchester and Southampton Railway fur the construction of the works of the Windsor and other lines, obtained during the last session, for completing arrangements made with the Exeter and Yet vil, Taw Vale, and Other lines were agreed to. To the last, Mr. Hove proposed an amendment, that the company having as much on their hands as they could manage, that they should not be allowed to carry out any arrangements with lines west of Exeter, but only two hands were held up in tavour of it. Some minor business having been transacted, and a vote of thanks having been awarded to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated shortly beture five o'clock. EAST SURREY ELECTION.

A special general meeting of the members of this corporation was held to day at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's street, for the purpose of electing a president and - council ie the room of the present pre sident and council, who had resigned, and for the trans action of other business, Admiral Bowles, G.C.8., the President, took the chair. The mimic. s .1 the I.lst general meting were read and confirmed, and, after the other preliminaries, Mr. GILLET moved that the present council be re elected. The 'notion having been seconded, Dr. WRTHERHEAD said, that while he was anxious that the present president and council should not resign their office, he could not agree as to tne propriety of the mode they suggested for improving the fiscal condition of the• school, by the admission of civilians, the oppo sition to which had led to their resignation. Lieutenant WALKER, R.N., stetted that, though he was opposed to the views of the cJuncil, he would still vote for their re- electi,,n, The CHAIRMAN having put the motion, Captain litcxsox said, that while he was opposed to the measure proposed by the council, he wits still desirous that they should return to their office. He was aware of the difficulties with which the council had to contend. He thought that the resources of the society might be augmented eey other means.

They had built a school calculated to contain 600, while the profession could only send to it 150. The coureql, however, wes ready to receive any suggestions that might be offered by any member of the corporation. Lieuteusut WALliza here produced two letters which he bad addressed, one to the editor of the United Ser vice Gazette, and the other to the Right Hon. the Earl of Auckland, in which the gallant writer ch precated strongly the admission of civilians into the school, which he contended was vially at variance with the object of the institution.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 6.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of Raw Sugar were not in clined to make any further concession in prices, but there was no increase in the home or export demand for any kind, and there was a less quantity on offer. Ot W. st India Muscovado the private Sales were only 420 hhds and trcs at the rates of yesterday, or at prices 6d to Is under those of Friday last. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods met with a dull demand from the home trade, although brown grocery Lumps could be obtained at 555 to 55s 6d, and Standard Lumps at 56s 6d per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar former rates are asked, hut there was little passing. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon a public sale of 2,985 bags Mauritius Sugar went at about former rate. In the private market little business was done. FoREIGN.— Although importers of Foreign Sugar have been desirous to sell upon previous reduced terms, and in some cases rather under, still exporters mani fested less elisposition to operate, and privately they have only taken 600 chests fine dry white Havannah at Is. and 3,000 chests yellow at 23i 6d to 25s ; 4,000 bags brown Pernams 12s. Tae demand from our refiners working under hoed has been trifling., whilst the home trade have been cautious in their proceedings, and the purchases made privately by them are not worth enumerating.
