No. 8, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, jonclon. The distinctive features of the Company embrace, amongst others: Tables of Premiums formed on the lowest scale compatible with security, and constructed to meet the various wants of assurers, and every risk to which protection by assurance can be extended. One-half the Life Premium for the first Five years may remain on credit. Loans granted on approved Personal Security. Assured not restricted in their limits of travel, as in most other Companies, but may proceed from one part of Europe to another in decked vessels, without License, and to British North America, and many parts of the United States, without extra premium, by merely giving the ordinary notice to the Office in London of the intended visit. Whole-world Policies granted at slightly increased rates of Premium, thus rendering a Policy in money transactions a real security. Prospectuses, and every information, may be obtained upon appli cation to the Resident Director- L. HYAM AND TIIE CLOSING HOLIDAYS. HYAM has deemed it expedient to keep L • before the public eye his recommendations as a manufac turer of Children's, Boys', and Youths' Attire. SCHOOL SUITS, SINGLE GARMENTS, SUITS FOR BETTER WEAR, which cannot be surpa.sed in quality of materials, design, or make, are now on sale at L. IlvAar's, at unusually low prices. The probable chances of weather have been provided for in the articles thus an nounced, and every description of this dress will be found suited to the commencement of the autumn season, now so near at hand. SEPARATE DESIGNERS. AND SEPARATE CUTTERS are employed by L. HyAm, in order that the suits and garments for they. ung may bear no semblance to those intended for adults, which arrangement succeeds too well to require further illustration. OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of bust uess carried on by L.

Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has Withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three Years, or any time afterwards, raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as In a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. IVIAY consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from jevenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitflil Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its comequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT shoul first obtain a copy of his work on THE SUCCESSIONS DUTY BILL. ( Front the Times.) Lord Derby's amendments had last night the fate which he probably anticipated, the first being lost by a division of 102 to 68, exactly three to two, and the rest being Legatived without a division. Nothing less could be. expected for proposals at variance with the whole financial legislation of this country. Every mea sure of finance assumes things as they are, and makes no attempt to spare those who may happen to come more within its range than they would have done had they seen it beforehand. It is the business of the Mi nisters ard the Legislature, answerable for the main tenance of government and the credit of the country, to procure what is wanted for that purpose without any compunction for those who are caught unawares. Lat terly, indeed, remissions have preponderated so much over inflictions that the more usual inquiry on the ap pearance of a budget is the benefit which falls to each man's share ; not the loss. If a man is fortunate, he is congratulated ; if not, it cannot be helped, and there is an end of it. The repeal of the corn laws touched, or was supposed to touch, rather severely the holders of leases. What of that ? They had to pay their fixed rents with corn at a reduced price. In the last century, whm a man built a house, he commonly filled it with small windows, half for ornament and half for use. Pitt had no mercy on archi tecture, and left the occupier of a house with a hundred winlows to get out of his scrape as well as he could. The existing state of things, whether con tracts, or leases, or settlements, constitutes a great fact for the operatons of a Minister, and he takes it as he finds it. Haxiships, of course, there must always be, but, if we once begin to recognise a vested interest in any condition or arrangements that happens to be par ticularly affected by a new law, the path of legislation will be so clogged and hindered that we must come to a stand-still. tut, after all, the grievance alleged for Lord Derby's amendmentis not that this or that person has incurred extra damage for want of timely notice, but that he has not been able to evade the coming tax—eva j4Q,D4,Wng t-enamon, At ffeelneYAliat Pailiamtareit to re - cognise the right of evasion, and to give a certain scope, or " law," for the purpose to all ingenious per sons averse to the payment of taxes. Lord Derby's difficulty, however, is rather of a meta physical than a substantial nature. He evidently cannot understand, or does not choose to understand, how the extinction of a charge can be a positive accession of pro perty. Let an estate pass at the death of one man to another, and Lord Derby admits the latter to be so much the richer ; but if the latter has had to pay the former 5001. a-year as long as he lived, and on the death of the former has so much more to spend on his conti nental tour, his establishment, his horses, his pictures, or what not, then Lord Derby will have it he has suc ceeded to no property ; he has only so much less to pay to somebody else. In effect it is exactly the same thing as if the annuitant had derived his 5001. a year from the funds, and, on dying, had left it of his own accord to the present possessor. The whole force of the argument against taxing successions arising from past dispositions of property consists in the appa ren t in justice done to the purchas ers of reversions, who, after taking all payments and all chances into account, give for the reversion just as much as it is worth. The chance of a succession tax never entered their minds, and, according to Lord Derby, they think themselves defrauded. But the purchaser of a reversion, who finds himself relieved from the income tax thereon, partially in three years, and entirely after seven years, does not thank Mr. Gladstone or Parliament for the boon ; and, if the relief more than covers the new tax, he has no right to pretend an injury in one case and no benefit in another. He does not think he has more than his fair right in the one case, and cannot pretend to have less than his due in the other. If he is sensible, he takes taxes, as they take him, just as they come. It is evident that much m isconception prevails on the subject of the bill, chiefly, we suspect, from people not giving themselves the trouble to understand it. To ascertain the real working of a measure is one thing, to make a clever speech against it another, and the second course is all that it has been thought worth while to at tempt in this instance. Lord St. Leopards, for example, made the simple mistake of supposing that a widow would pay duty on succeeding to her husband's interest by virtue of a settlement made by her father, in which case, as he alleges, the father would see his property, while in the hands of his own descendants, paying succepsidir , duty in his own life-time, But the fact is, the widow would not pay duty at all, any more than under the existing legacy duties. We conceive, too, that he must make an equal blunder— for we can find no war rant for the assertion in the bill—when he says that it will exact the larger rate of duty on each succession of a property that has once passed to a stranger. The opi nion is so extraordinary, and so at variance with the spirit of the bill, that we can hardly suppose it to be serious. Certainly there is not one word in the bill to justify or suggest such an interpretation. Each suc , cession can only be by one death, and is rated according to the relationship of the deceased. Lord Derby honestly confesses he has not mastered the bill, and, that he may be at liberty to throw out objections without being an swerable for their soundness, quietly leans on the opinions of nameless lawyers, with just a hint at his own utter indifference to the subject. The truth is, it was impos sible to get up the steam. The objects for whom the sympathy of the public was to be asked were unfortu nately just those who are usually more envied _th4n. otherwise, and whose little disappointments vve all bear with wonderful equanimity. The worst case his lord ship could picture last night was that of a young gentleman who at the age of twenty-five succeeds by the death of a third cousin, or of an entire stranger, to 50,0001. a year. Before the unhappy youth has reco vered from the shock of this terrible disaster, the tax gatherer comes upon him for 85,0001., or about 19,0001. a year for four years and a half. The result is, that for that tedious period, at the most critical period of the young man's career, his miserable pittance of 50,0001. a year is reduced to 31,0001., unless he can sell one twentieth of his property to clear the rest. Another hard case instanced by his lordship is that of the specu lator who has bought a reversion without any idea of pa yi n g duty upon it. The great majority of such rever sions are those of sons, brothers, and nephews ; and the duty will be accordingly one, three, or five per cent. on the life interest of the original successor. But what amount of commiseration are we to bestow on the He brew capitalist who has bought a reversion of 10,0001., and finds, on succeeding to it, that he has to pay rather more than 401., or 101. a year for four years ? If we must be indulgent and pitiful, pray let us have a more ill-used and suffering object. The division, it will be seen, was a decided muster of the forces on both sides ; and the effects of the struggle were as much out of doors as within, for as many were kept away as were induced to attend and vote. Strange faces were seen in the house. Our Foreign Ministers, the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and noblemen who have long retired from the public gaze, for one reason or an other, were there to assist at the triumph or downfall of Government. The whippers-in themselves were baffled in some instances by the unfamiliar aspect of the peers they had evoked. A Ministerial majority was expected, but neither side had calculated on one so conclusive. The bill is now safe, and we have a f a ir prospect of see ing an end to the income tax, which the succession duty will render superfluous as soon as it is in full rpe ration. (From the Morning Chronicle.) As every objection which Lord Derby entertains to the Succession Duty Bill goes to the root of the measure, inexperienced bystanders may wonder why the House of Lords was not asked to throw it out on the second read ing. The reason is si mple, and perfectly intelligible. His lordship held so many proxies that he might have found himself too strong. In committee, however, only the peers who are present can vote ; and, as is shown by the Government majority of 34 against the first amend ment proposed, the result of the mode of attack chosen by the chivalrous ex-Premier was sufficiently certain to secure him against the inconvenience of a ruinous victory. Even the shallowest and dullest members of the party appear to have comprehended and seconded the prudent policy of their leader. It is true that no amendment could reconcile Lord Winchilsea to the provisions of so odious and infamous a bill. Rather than consent to a tax which compels the proud barons of England to bear their share of the national burdens, the conscientious earl would have divided alone against the second read ing, if he had only been present. But he was not pre sent on that solemn occasion ; and, cons id er i ng the faci lities for locomotion which exist in all parts of the country, we may fairly assume that any peer who was not in his place stayed away on purpose. Lord Win chilsea, after all, acted with as much sense and honesty as the eloquent leader of the Opposition. Lord Derby utterly denies that, during his own Ad ministration, any scheme for a succession duty was under consideration ; but he can scarcely dispute the fact that his Chancellor of the Exchequer made, without contradiction, an exactly opposite statement. It is highly probable that both ex-Ministers have spoken the literal truth, except that the intentions attributed by Mr. Disraeli to the Cabinet ought to have been repre sented as confined to the breast of one individual mem ber. The ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer may have made up his mind to try some fresh experiment in finance, without thinking it necessary to consult the ill-informed colleagues who were certain, at the proper time, to fol low his direction. The subject may not have been dis cussed in the Cabinet, yet the late Ministers may have been practically pledged to a course utterly inconsistent with their present arguments. Lord Derby has no quality of a good party leader, except an entire absence of scruple. Uniformly timid, and generally rash, he rarely fails to compromise his character for judgment, at the same time that he carefully guards himself against the possibility of obtaining a seri ous advantage. Having rendered victory impossible by refusing a contest on comparatively favourable ground, he gratuitously publishes to the world the selfish policy which his party would follow if their power seconded their wishes. It might, in a certain sense, have been worth their while to make an effort which would have embar rassed the Government, rendered new combinations neces sary, and displayed the formidable power of the Opposition. But what advantage could under any cireumstanees result from the avowal of impotent injustice, it is for Lord Derby and his followers to explain. The proposal to exempt vested reversions from the new tax was infinitely more iniquitous than would have been a refusal to ac cept any portion of the bill. The division was taken on the amendment because it was certain not to succeed ; yet it would, perhaps, have been more prudent to pledge the party to a smaller measure of injustice. It is time for the more•serious politicians of the Upper House to review the character and conduct of their ostentatious, make-believe leader. When the House of Lords prac tically supports the prudent policy of the Government, it is at least unnecessary that it should incur gratuitous unpopularity merely because Lord Derby wishes, from time to time, for an opportunity of displaying his un doubted rhetorical powers. The most cursory reader of last night's debate will be struck by the feebleness of the arguments against the general principle of the bill. Without descending to Lord Winchilsea, we may refer to Lord St. Leonards for a proof of the enfeebling influence which faction may exercise on the astutest intellect. " Suppose," says the ex-Chancellor, " a person denudes himself during his lifetime of property, by transferring his estate to his child. Hitherto the law had looked with great favour and approbation on such conduct, but now the feeling was to be completely changed, by a measure which he could not but characterise as confiscation." Yet Lord Malmesbury himself could explain to his lordship that, in the case supposed, the succession duty will not attach at all. The son who receives a free gift from a living father cannot be said to take a benefit by reason of death. The more plausible portions of the noble and learned lord's speech were sufficiently answered by the Lord Chancellor ; and, in truth, the justice of abolishing the preference hitherto allo wed to settled property can not be better demonstrated than by simply stating the case. If a commutation for a property tax is to be levied on the occurrence of death, it is sufficiently clear that the devisee who succeeds by will ought to be placed in exactly the same position with the remainder man under a settlement. Great landowners tie up their property—the middle classes leave their resources free ; but in both cases the children succeed to the father, not bar reasop.4 parc*ment arrangements, but by the rule lof nature, confirmed or recognised by law. Lord Derby's assertion, that " men of small revenues derived from settled property would feel the hardship of the tax more severely than large landed proprietors," in volved an entirely false assumption. Men of small revenues have not, for the most part, their property in settlement, and they would, therefor e , have derived no benefit from the success of the amendment which was ostensibly supported by the Opposition. Lord Cran worth said, and with truth, that the popularity of the measure arises from the perfect comprehension of its character by the bulk of the community. Lord Derby seems to think that the injustice of a tax increases the ratio of the amount which it produces —or, in other words, in proportion to the property assessed. An estate, he says, of 50,0001. a year, passing to a stranger of a certain age, will involve a payment, on the part of the successor, of 85,0001. in four years. The example would have been equally intelligible if the rental had been assumed at 5001., and consequently the tax at 850/. ; but trifling incomes and petty contributions excite no sympathy in Lord Derby's mind. There is a sufficiently simple answer to the grievance complained of. All fiscal injustice consists in inequality ; and the hardship suffered by the heir of a great estate is to be measured by the excess of his payments as compared with those of a millionaire of equal wealth. A landed estate in fee of 50,000/. a year is worth at least 1,500,000/. ; and on that sum a stranger in blood would be charged 150,0001., not in four years, but in a single sum. It would be easy to vary the illustration indefinitely ; but a single instance furnishes a sufficient reply to Lord Derby. The Lords have acted wisely, both in avoiding a col lision with the Commons and in preferring the public good to their own seeming interest. Having done their duty, they may now, in their individual capacity,lfairly balance the gains of their order against its losses, even in a finan cial point of view. The Duke of Argyll was amply jus tified in saying that the late Government made the new impost necessary by their factious and dangerous proposal of a differential income tax. So great an excitement had been created in the country by the countenance which a Cabinet gave to popular fallacies on that subject, that even the strength of the present Ministry would probably have been unequal to the task of efit'ablishing a just, equal, and - permanent income tax. As Mi." Gladstone was determined not to sanction, •under any temptation, time first inslalment of confiscation which Mr. Disraeli had reckldssly afe'red, there was no practicable alternative except to limit the duration of the tax ; and it was necessary to find some means of replacing the deficit which would be created by the relinquishment of so large a proportion of the revenue. It would have been imprudent, if not impossible, to raise the necessary amount by any new impost on commodities. Property offered the only taxablg.snbject-matter, and the existing legacy duty supplied-b44.ajnecedent to be followed and a crying grievance 1 2 0., jtB . : Sedressed. A just financier could only choose betwe'6n the abolition of the legacy duty, and its extension ; and a Chancellor of the Exche quer, in search of a revenue, necessarily preferred the only course which could supply the sum required. The landowners will pay a proportion of the new burden ; but they have in prospect the reduction of the income tax, and they have been saved for the present from the principle of confiscation which is involved in every scheme of a graduated tax. The aristocracy may be assured that the Marquis of Lansdowne speaks advisedly when he tells them that the present bill- places-the-landed in- terest in a far better position than they held when they enjoyed an unpopular exemption.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, for the general purposes of the undertaking, and also to determine upon the consolidation into a 5 per cent. stock of the 5 per cent. 501. shares of the company, lettered F, to be thenceforth denominated "Five per Cent. Stock No. 3 ;" Mr. S. Laing, M.P., in the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared in .The Sun of Monday, the 18th inst., was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN commenced by alluding to the arrange ments made by the board which enabled them to hold the first railway meeting every half-year. There was some inconvenience in this, but the Brighton being the first railway company to hold its half-yearly meeting, of course it had some effect on the tone adopted by other railway companies, for it struck the key note, as it were, to which the proceedings of the others were attuned. The general result of the half-yearly meetings was, on the whole, discouraging, as compared with that of the corresponding period of the preceding year. The general result of the traffic of 1852 showed a larger amount than in 1851, although that was an exceptional year ; but on going back to 1850 the result of the receipts on all the railways showed a con siderable increase of traffic in 1852 over that of 1850. But there was also an increase in the expenses, and no doubt the increase in the traffic of 1853 would be attended with increased expenditure. The Brighton report now submitted showed an increase in the receipts, and also an increase in the expenditure. The increase of traffic in the half-year amounted to 23,0001. over the corresponding period of 1852. This was a very large increase indeed for the first half of the present year, as every one acquainted with the Brighton traffic knew that the traffic in the first half of the year was al ways smaller than in the second half of the year ; while the standing expenses of both half-years were nearly equal. The increase in the working expenses during the half-year amounted to about one-half the increased re ceipts. Among the items of increased expenditure in respect of the increased traffic was 2,0001. for interest on increased capital, leaving 9,0001. available for divi dend on the ordinary shares, being an increase of 4s. per cent. for the half-year. He considered that the in crease of revenue had been very satisfactory in all de partments. The increase in the traffic was obtained from the natural development of the traffic on all parts of the line. The seeds they had sown, by accommodat ing the traffic of the various districts, the running of express trains, and other arrangements, were now bear ing fruit on different parts of the line. The greatest in crease was on the Croydon line ; the value of land had increased in the vicinity of the railway, and he hoped that a large accession of traffic would also arise from other parts of the line. The increase in the annual ex penses arose chiefly from two causes, the working expenses in consequence of the increased traffic, and interest on t he increase ofcapital expended on works of a permanent nature required to accommodate the traffic and to insure public safety. The increase in the working expensesreif re solved itself into an extra length of train mileage, and they were to increase the traffic it must be by increased accommodation to the public. givingt ier n w l i y th le t f h t e on r e e : sporuiereceofof materials increas e a d nd ex w p a e g n e s e e aorfoslaehfer;(llthoeeanrri.thsee whole, he e h u e it th ; o a u n g d ht if th ev ey ery ou nd gh d t it t i o en b t e o t wellhe revenuesatisfind increased the a sed amountcapital available expenditurefor to dividendaccommodate o d d ate interest th e for increased capital ex penditure to accommodate the in creased traffic, the result would be highly satisfactory to the proprietors. The working expenses for the t wo half years were nearly equal in amount, but for the first half thelfeeadtx:rh et e eoo q u u n i requirements board mabnuednt hadatistt of the year the working expenses averaged about 48 per cent. of the receipts, and in the second half-year about 35 per cent. of the receipts, owing to the latter zo b t;f e , eu i t n hno g eil greater in amount during the second half of the year than in the first half of it. The average expense year was 42 per cent. of the receipts, which w en as di capitalf un favourable. ura forble . p e r T n li m e n y e n hadpermanent o t h o j e incure tobjects to a large meet of the increased traffic.

The constant necessity for outlay on permanent improvements was, of course, a great obstacle to the closing of the capital account. His opi nion had not changed with regard to the closing of the capital account ; but it was not a question whether it was desirable, but whether it was possible under existing circumstances. If they were paying a fair dividend to the shareholders, and enabl e d to lay- by a surplus every half-year to meet those i ncreased charges on capital account, they would be in a condition to close it • but [PRicz SD. the facts of the case were different, and there was a con stant pressure upon them to meet events that could not be foreseen. With regard to providing for the public safety, that had entailed a considerable expense and additional outlay of capital. Every accident that oc curred on their line, or on other lines that may occur on their own, involved expense with a view to adopt remedies for the prevention of like accidents in future. With an increased traffic increased precautions to avoid accident were necessary ; for instance, their goods trains were now much longer than they were a few years ago ; they were too long for sidings, so that they had to shunt one-half of the train at one side of the line, and the other half at the other side of the line. This, of course, in creased the chances of danger from accident, and there fore it became necessary to lengthen the sidings suffici ently to accommodate the goods trains. This involved considerable expense at some places, as they had to exca vate steep places to make room for the sidings, or to carry them on embankments, The directors had duties to per form to the public as well as to the shareholders, and it was fortunately the interest of the shareholders that the directors should do their duty to the public. It would be bad policy to multiply accidents, and thus get a bad name with the public. The result would be that they would have some competing line started to take away the traffic, to say nothing of the loss the company would sustain by compensation for the accidents, and the awk ward position in which the directors would be placed by the verdicts of juries. The fourth line of rails which they were making to Croydon was absolutely necessary for the public safety, and to accommodate the traffic on the line between half-past 4 and half-past 6 o'clock every day. At that time o f th e d a y th ere was a constant suc cession of trains, and it would be impossible to continue them on a single line, because they would have to im pede the quick trains and hasten the slow trains, by which means they would endanger the public safety. In consequence of the increase of traffic they had to increase the station accommodation, stores for goods traffic had to be built, waggon sheds erected, and, in fact, they had to provide accommodation for more than three times the amount of their former goods traffic, as it had increased from -1,0001. to 3,0004- per week. He-than entered into a-variety of details with regard to the necessity and ad vantages of increasing the accommodation for the traffic, and placing the property in greater Security. From the state of things in Parliament during the present session he thought that the shareholders must trust to them selves to secure their property, as th ey were not lik e l y to receive much protection from Parliament. Consider ing the nature and extent of their traffic, it would be necessary to enlarge their station accommodation at London-bridge very considerably, so as to allow of sepa rate entrances for the Crystal Palace and short traffic, and to separate it from the long traffic, as was done by the South-Eastern Company with regard to the Green wich, North Kent, and Dover traffic. All those things would involve expense. They would have to expend 150,000/. for the accommodation of the Crystal Palace Company, upon which they were to be guaranteed 4 per cent. out of the receipts. They would have to expend 200,0001. beyond that sum, making a total expenditure of 7,670,0001., of which they were to be guaranteed 4 per cent, on 150,0001. He might state that 75,0001. of this sum was purely applicable to Crystal Palace pur poses. All the rest would be expended on the fourth line of rails and in the enlargement of the London-bridge station. These were improvements which could not be delayed for six months longer, had there been no Crystal Palace. With regard to the additional sum of 200,0001. required to be expended, 50,000/, was for the enlarge ment of the London-bridge station beyond the sum above stated, 70,000/. recommended by their engineer and superintendents for additional sidings and other works, 40,0001. for warehouses at Brighton, Bricklayers' Arms station, and at Deptford, and 30,000/. for plant. On looking at the items, they would perceive that one-half the proposed expenditure on capital account was to in sure the public safety, and the other half to accommodate the increase of traffic^ With regard to the reserve fund and sinking fund' estarshed some years ago with a view to enable the coin ny to close the capitalaccount, it was found that they ere not adequate to effect that objeet ; and unleis they i F re prepared to set aside out of revenue 50,0001. a-year or that object they could not close their capittl account. That sum would amount to 1 per cent. of their dividend, which, out of 4 per cent., would make a large 'deduction, and which they would be salled upon to give up so long as the traffic continued to increase at the present rate. If the property belonged to one or two individuals, they would probably expend what was required on capital account out of rev e n ue , b u t it was a very different matter when it behinged to 3,000 Sr 4,000 individuals, many of them obliged to pa r t w ith their property at the market value, arra as the latter de pended on the amount of dividend the loss would fall heavily on those who were ol)11.to part with their shares. To the few who can retaNthem for a nitmber of years the difference would not be so serious.NThe directors could not recommend a measure for the adoption of the proprietor, which would take away one fourth of their dividend for several.years, with a view to keep down the capital expenditure op t to close the capital account. He might not appe),E,Fnnsistent in OA. course now recommended, but he thought some 4 or 5 years ago, that 4i per cent. would be arrived at by another course, partly by an increased traffic and partly by a de crewed expenditure, and that by means of the funds they now proposed to abandon the capital account could be closed. But the traffic had gone on expanding considerably, involving many unforeseen expenses, and the only course now left them was to charge the ex pensea properly to the capital or to the revenue as they occurred. (Hear.) He then alluded to the necessity of promoting the construction of branch lines in connec tion with their railway, to accommodate the various districts and to keep competing schemes out of the field. They were bound to assist the East Grinstead, the Bog nor and Chichester, and the Steyning lines, and also one from Bognor to Petworth and Midhurst. By con structing these lines at from 6,0001. to 8,0001. per mile, there was a probability of paying their expenses and accommodating the districts. It was better they should pay 3,0001. or 4,0001. a-year in the shape of rent, or guarantees, on the capital of branch lines made at a cheap rate, than to suffer competing lines to be made in the district, which might cut up their traffic root and branch. It was better to adopt a popular policy, to keep a good name, and to give all the accommodation they could to the public and the district served by their railway. He concluded by moving that the report and accounts be received and adopted. Mr. SCHUSTER seconded the motion. Mr. TITE wished to know from the chairman, as a member of the House of Commons, whether be knew what result Mr. Cardwell's committee had arrived at in the report respecting railways and canals. The CHAIRMAN said that is was generally understood that Mr. Cardwell's committee had recommended that a committee of the House of Commons should be appointed to deal with railway matters in the same manner as that adopted under Lord Dalhousie some years ago, and to report from time to time on the policy of railway mea sures or schemes that might be submitted to Parliament. They also recommended the introduction of facility clauses, on the ground that the line of a railway com pany was open as a highway, subject to certain regula tions for forwarding traffic ; power of reference to the Board of Trade, in all cases of dispute, was provided. Amalgamations could not be santioned, but working arrangements might be entered into for a certain num ber of years, and which would probably require the sanction of acts of Parliament to carry them out. The result was, as far as the present session was concerned, to recommend the appointment of a preliminary com mittee of the House of Commons to examine and report on railway bills which might be submitted to Parlia ment. Mr. MAUDSLEY thought they ought to have waited to see whether the traffic of the Crystal Palace would pay before they went to the expense of laying down a line of railway to it. Mr. Alderman WILSON regretted that the board had de termined on abandoning the reserve fund and sinking fund established with a view to close the capital account. He could not see the advantage of an increase traffic if they were to be called upon every two or three years to add 200,000/. or 300,000/. to the capital account. He lhWest -end and Crystal Palace line would t a k e a e arge a mount of the traffic to the Cryst a l P a l ace, and that the Brighton Company would be able to accomo date their portion of it without difficulty or the neces sity of much expense. Mr. TITE pointed out the necessity of doing every thing in their power to accommodate the various dis tricts through which their line passed, by means of the construction of cheap branch railways. Mr. HERAPATII wished to know how it was that the amount of increased traffic on the line as compared with the corresponding period of last year, had caused an increase in the expenditure equal to 50 per cent, of the increased receipts, instead of 25 per cent., as esti mated on a former occasion. He also wished to know how it was that the increase in the traffic would require an additional expenditure of 50,000/. a year, instead of 12,000/. a year, as estimated about two years ago. He believed it was then estimated that in the course of 10 years the 12,000/. a year would pay off the 120,000/. required to accommodate the increased traffic, and that the capital account could be closed • but now it ap peared they required to expend 470,0001. beyond the 7,200,000/. at which it was proposed to close the capi tal account. It was true the 470,000/. included 150,000/. for the Crystal Palace, but it seemed a large additional amount. After some further observations the report was re ceived and adopted, and resolutions were passed autho rising the directors to borrow 45,9301., and to take 5,0881. from the reserve fund to pay for renewals of the permanent way during the half-year, and to expend the balance in the renewal of the permanent way and other renewals, and to add nothing more to that fund. On the motion for discontinuing the reserve fund, and expending the amount on renewals, an amendment was proposed by Mr. STERRY for its continuance, and allow ing only the expenditure of 5,0881. out of it. This amendment was negatived by the meeting, and the motion of the directors was carried. Resolutions were passed declaring a dividend at the rate of 1/. 16s. per cent. for the half-year, and autho thorising the directors to convert the 5 per cent. 501. shares into 5 per cent. stock No. 3. The proceedings concluded with vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. our market 3. I BEANS.

FRANCE. The speech of Lord JOhn Russell in the House of mimons on Friday is commented on by several of the 'aris journals. On the whole, it is not regarded as hay [rig a very cheering character. The Constitutionnel ad mits plainly that nothing of a positive nature is known to warrant the very sanguine expectations that have been entertained of the prompt and satisfactory solution of the Eastern question, and the Pays expresses less confidence than it did, although it professes still to believe that it is impossible that the Emperor of Russia should refuse to accept the propositions that have been made to him. It will be noticed, however, that the Pays declares, as if from authority, that there is nothing in the propositions that have been made or may be made to the Czar, that could bring dishonour on the French and English Governments, or fall short of the promises that have been made to secure the integrity and in dependence of the Ottoman Empire. If we had not been assured that no answer had been given by Rus sia to the propositions that have been sent in, we should almost suspect that the energetic declaration made by . Lord Joh n R usse ll i n England, and by the ministerial journals here, had been caused by some communication of the unwillingne ss o f th e C zar to treat upon the only bases which can be allow e d b y two great countries de sirous of maintaining pea ce , b ut unwilling- to purchase the maintenance of it by co ncess i ons which'would dishonour them, and merely patch up the dispute for the moment. But nothing of this kind has taken place, and we are still led to hope that the solution will be satisfactory and honourable to all parties. It will be well to entertain this hope as long as it can b e en t ertained reasonably, and to wait patiently for official communications, in stead of attaching faith to accounts in German journals, or to private telegraphic dispatches, nine out of ten of which are founded upon mere gossip. There is an article in the Assembles Nationale, which means evidently more than it says, for whilst it professes to approve of the support given by E ng l an d and France to Turkey, it dwells very forcibly on the . embarrassed position of the latter power, as for the purpose of showing that it must fall to pieces, and become the prey of Russia, in spite of all that can be done to preserve it. It is but too true that Turkey has added materially to her pecuniary embarrassments by the efforts that she has mad e , an d i s still making to put herself into a state of defence ; but if the Assemble Nationale had been since re i n th e a pp r obation that i t has recently given to the attempts made by England and France to induce the Czar to adopt a more equit able policy, it would have reprob a t e d w ith severity the causes of the embarrasslzent which has been brought upon the finances of Turiee7 Atr a-nuunentr-whonlerr vernment was endeavouring to improve her resources in the interest of civilisation. The Emperor gave a private audience to General Don Manuel Blanco Encelada, and received from him his cre dentials as Envoy-Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary of the Republic of Chili. Another political trial will take place on the 10th of next month, before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. The prisoners are MM. Jeane, Blazy, Barbotte, Sicard, Dapatie, Bouquin de la Souche, Rabier, Alvarbs, Salvat, Bataille, and Junet. There are eleven others accused, who have fled, or are at liberty on bail. The charges in the indictment are—being members of a secret society ; introducing into France prohibited journals ; being in illegal possession of arms and ammunition ; exhibiting for sale prohibited engravings, and distributing printed works without authorisation. A Montpelier journal states that M. Arago, the astro nomer, left the south of France on Friday last for Paris, accompanied by his niece, Mme. Laugier. Yesterday was the anniversary of the commencement of the works at the Louvre, and such has been the rapidity with which they have progressed, that already a portion has attained the elevation of six yards ; the expense, up to the present time, has not been quite 4,000,000 f., and the number of workmen employed amounts to 2,000. A fall of 40c. has taken place in the Three per Cents. for cash, and of 60c. for the account ; whilst the Four and-a-Half per Cents. for cash have given way 20c., and for the account 40c.—the tendency being downwards. At the close of business, the following were the prices quoted :--For cash : Three per Cents., 78f. 10c. ; Four and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 20c. For the account : Three per Cents., 77f. 65c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102 f. 80c. Bank Stock remains unchanged in value at 2,740 f. The Northern, Paris and Orleans, Paris and Strasbourg, Rouen and Havre, and Bordeaux and Cette, have each fallen 2f. ; the Paris and Rouen, 7f. ; and the Western of France, 10f. The Paris and Lyons, Lyons to the Mediterranean, and Caen and Cherbourg, remain unchanged. The following are the closing prices : Northerns, 873 f. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,132 f. ; Paris and Strasbourg, 927 f. 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 925 f. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,093 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 765 f. ; Western of France, 740 f. ; Rouen and Havre, 500 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 635 f. 50c. ; Caen and Cherbourg, 620 f. TURKEY AND RUSSIA. A private telegraphic dispatch has been received from Berlin, dated yesterday, which states that an Austrian Cabinet courier left Vienna for St. Petersburgh with important communications addressed by the Porte to the Russian Government through the Austrian Go vernment. They were to the effect that Turkey would yield on the principle of the Russian demands, but that their form should Le changed ; and that. the Porte, unwilling to expose itsaf to take a useless step, desired t) know previously whether Russia was disposed to ac ,cept the project of arrangement, and if so, that a Turkish Ambassador would be sent to St. Petersburg►. The statement of Der Lloyd, that ships of war had entered the Dardanelles, is contradicted. Not a single vessel of war, French, English, or American, had passed the straits on the 12th. The foreign papers an iving at Warsaw and St. Peters burgh are almost entirely cut to pieces ; and the public can only receive the news through the Russian court papers. Advices from WarsaW represent Prined Paskiescitell - to be in so bad a state of health that, in the event of war, he would be unable to take a command. Dispatches from Constantinople of the 12th inst. con tradict the statement that the Caradoc was the bearer of an order to the fleet, or part of them, to enter the Dardanelles. Russian ships were cruisng in the Black Sea ; a frigate is at Synope, and another six miles from the embouchure of the Bosphorus, observing the movements of the Turkish fleet. The Bucharest German papers of the 11th inst. state, that the Russian army of occupation arrived on the 7th at Fokschani, on the Moldo-Wallachian frontier, and ore the 10th at Busseo, half-way between Folk sc h an i and Bucharest. The ussians were to enter Bucharest on the 15th. The Press of Vienna, of the 21st says :—" We learn that two projects of mediation—one of the Cabinet of the Tuileries, the other of the C a bi ne t o f S t. James's— have been submitted to the Government of St. Peters burgh, relative to the privile ges an d i mmunities of the Greek Church. The reply of the Government of St. Petersburgh to the projected mediation of France left on 9th July for Constantinople, addressed to the ambassador of France, to be communicated to the Divan. This is why the reply of the Divan cannot be known at Vienna before the beginning of next week." The Press gives nothing to confirm its account of five ships of the line having been ordered from Besika Bay to the environs of Constantinople. Dispatches received from the head-quarters of Gene ral Prince Gortschakoff announce, says the Press of Vienna " that the Turks have not yet made any pre parations for effecting the passage of the Danube. They, however, were continuing to concentrate troops at Schumla, and begun fortifying Pravad between Schumla and Warna." - is Caacbtiinveetsof the an ex change of notes "" iceo7diTg to the tak L i l n o g yd p s la o ce f b V et i w en e n e a n , London and Copenhagen, relative to the E as t ern ques tion—England being, it says, desirous to persuade Den mark to conclude a treaty with her for all possible eventualities. The Frankfurter Journal contains a letter from War saw, which states that the Emperor of Russia is to ar rive in that city towards the end of the month, to close the operations at the camp Powowsk. A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 16th, in a Ger man journal, says :—" The present state of the Turco- Russian question is a Cabinet mystery, and absolutely nothing is said of it to the public. However, an active exchange of dispatches with the Cabinets of Europe is remarked. Count Giulay, Envoy of Austria, has daily conferences with the envoys of the powers, and if the assurances of the Prussian envoy can be believed, peace will not be troubled." GERMANY. Au ex-lieutenant of artillery named Usener, who played a part in the affair of Kossuth's rockets at Lon don, was arrested at Coblentz on the 24th. He had a false passport, and came from Switzerland. He alleged that his intention was to go to Turkey, via Marseilles. Intelligence of the arrest was immediately sent off by telegraph to Berlin. He took part in the insurrections of Schleswig-Holstein and Hungary. The Augsburgh. Gazette contains a letter from Vienna of the 21st, which states that some political arrests have lately taken place in Austria. Amongst the persons taken into custody are the sons of several persons in high station, and amongst others the son of M. S-1, member of the Council of the Empire, and the drawer up of the programme of the Dec. 31, 1851 ; the two sons of M. Trombetta, and those of some high Italian families. DENMARK• The Boersenhalle of Hamburg contains the following from Copenhagen :—" The draught of a fundamental law for Denmark, presented to the Volkething at its last sitting by M.
