BRAINTREE CHURCH-RATE CASE JUDGMENT OF LORD DENMAN. GOSLING V. VELET. In the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday, Lord Denman delivered the judgment of the Court in this case, which has excited considerable interest. The Noble and Learned Lord reviewed at great length all the authorities in similar cases, and went over the whole of the facts with great care and minuteness. The Court held that the meeting at which the rate com plained of was made was duly and regularly called—that the parishioners were bound by law to pay the expense of re pairing the church and every other expense neeessary for the decent and proper celebration of the services of the church—that the proper way to do so was by imposing a money rate, and that that rate should be made in a yestry assembled. In the case before the Court it appeared .i. the meeting had been properly called ; that the proposi tion for making a rate for the repair of the church had been duly put, an was s and that an amendment was proposed, which - su pported by the maj or ity o f th e mee ti ng , object mg to the maki that it was opposed to any compulsory rate, on the ground ings; that thechaeicl to their conscientious scruples and feel.. an refused to act upo n th a t amendment, which was carried fore, the maj • by a large ority l eft th majority; and that there other amendment P r re h P a o t sed, the rate, as originallyproposed, was the course of - e meeting, and there being no was agreed to.

Under all the circumstancesi'ace,as of the case, the Court held that the parish was bound tore pair the fabric of the church, that the proper way to do so was by money rate, and that in the case before the Court the rate had been properly and legally made, and they m us t , therefore, decide in favour of the defendant. The Bishop of London sat on the bench, on the right of Mr. Justice Patteson, during the delivering of the judgment, after which he left the Court. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1847. Prussia must ever regard as one of her most me morable anniversaries the 3d of February, 1847. On that day a constitution was given to the Prussian people by FREDERICKWILLIELM IV., and by the royal ordinance in which that glorious announcement was made the representative system of government was formally incorporated in the Legislature of the king dom. It is with joy and exultation that we publish the twenty-three articles of this constitution—joy in the conviction that it is, perhaps, the most certain means of ensuring the everlasting prosperity of the kingdom—and exultation in this new testimony of the progress of the great civilizing spirit of the age, and of the indomitable advance of the principles of popular liberation. The knowledge of the magnifi cent and substantial boons conferred upon them by their monarch—and conferred upon them, too, not grudgingly in the constraint of an insurrectionary movement, but spontaneously, and even unexpectedly —must impart a generous and beneficent enthusiasm to the patriots of Germany. We confess that the concessions proclaimed in the royal or dinances are wanting in that completeness of applica tion to every social exigency which so peculiarly characterises the constitutions of Western Europe ; we confess that the catalogue of legislative innova tions contained in those royal ordinances are particu larised by many extraordinary deficiencies, and that, beside our own matured and now venerable system of popular representation, that bestowed upon his sub jects by FREDERICK WILHELM is marvellously crude and insufficient ; but, convinced that this unparalleled act of royal generosity is only the starting point of a grand and systematic in provement, we are satisfied with the constitution just created at Berlin, and the Prussian population will assuredly be satisfied in like manner. They will be more than satisfied ; they will imbibe from this testi mony of confidence in themselves an increased affection and an enduring loyalty for a SOVEREIGN, who has himself evinced such loyalty to their inalienable, but hitherto unacknowledged rights. By this noble declaration in the cause of freedom and civilization the King of PRUSSIA has seized a talisman more potent than that of MERLIN and a wand more magical than that of PROSPERO : he has transformed the enemies of his dynasty into its upholders and its guardians : be has solidified the unstable founda tions of his throne into the adamant of national love. Monarchs have heretofore endeavoured, with a few L illustrious exceptions, to perpetuate their power and , Mille lAL Au nerepnartr mi .! , nn by 11v stresn the chains of their authority, and by extending the - bounds of their several dominions. In the increased dimensions of their territory, and the profounder exercise of their despotism, they have seemed to recognise the only means of ensuring the reverence of the million, and of rendering their empire perpetual. Heretofore the nations of the earth have only emancipated themselves by the most terrible .exhibitions of their wrath and of their strength Hitherto, in all ages, and in all countries, liberty has been baptised with blood. Before the genius of freedom could be appeased the people have invariably been compelled to pour out the libations of battle. The republic of America was only raised under the protection of the sword of WASHINGTON. The thraldom of the Bourbons was only dissipated by the storms of a revolution such as the earth had never seen before. The petty dictatorship of Holland was only destroyed by the revolt against the Stadtholder. The liberal constitution now enjoyed by the Grecians has been bought by butchery and insurrection. BOLIVAR had to maintain the independence of his country by the fullness of his bodily courage and the excellence of his strategy. SANTA ANNA is compelled to guide his fellow-countrymen through a similar ordeal. And England herself, the favourite of fortune, was necessitated to realise her own - emancipation by the subjugation of JOHN, by the decapitation of CHARLES, and by the expulsion of JAMES. It is because history tells us that these bloody and horrible catastrophes have been hitherto inseparable from the progress of liberal opinions, that we conceive Prussia is entitled to such deep and cordial felicitations. In the con stitution granted to Prussia by the reigning SOVE REIGN a representative legislature is per manently establishment. The people are hence forth to have a voice in the fabrication and administration of the laws by which they are governed. All the members of the eight provincial Diets are to be assembled at the option of the Monarch in one grand United Diet of the kingdom. An upper house, entitled the Chamber of the Herren stand, will consist of all the Princes of the blood royal and of all the nobility of the empire. A lower house, entitled the Chamber of the Rittersiand, will comprise the delegates, or rather the representatives, of the various classes and provinces of Prussia. To their wisdom will be submitted, excepting in cases of singular emergency, the propriety of any novel impo sition of taxes, and of the regulation of the national exchequer. By this means the sceptre will here after be virtually in the keeping of the people. It is more than a consolation to see in these ordinances of FREDERICK WILHELM, that the lever of civilisation is already acting upon the absolute monarchies of Northern Europe. To reflect that France possesses a Legislature which fails to represent the sentiments, the honour, and the interests of her people, is a melancholy truth ; and that this should be her actual position, sixteen years having elapsed since a revolution was effected to protect her liberties from the encroachments of regal sway and to remove the fetters which restrained the free expression of popular sympathies, seems quite an anomaly. Yet, such is the fact. How ever glorious and sudden may have been the efforts which France has made from time to time to secure a state machinery which should faithfully represent the interests, desires, and honour of the great body of her people, and however satisfactorily they have seemed for the moment to have accomplished their national hopes, the vices of her rulers have invariably sufficed, gradually, to undermine and stealthily to deprive her of the blessings of constitutional liberty. Year after year, since 1830, have the Chambers of her Parliament by degrees more faintly reflected the morality and intelli gence o f t h e French nation. If con viction of this were previously wanting, the beneath a recent proce e di ngs i n their Legislature in connexion with the M ont p r e o n o s t i e e; marriage mu s t by thi s ti me neighbours. it s in th e m i n d s o f our con tinentalhave comp l etly disgust th em with nin uch a conv i ct i on i s enough to come restless and, discon tented wonder that they formshouldenf g b a e rchical present s , ove rnment which, d es pit e institutio ns .

They must look with f - wonder and envy upon the different results which attend the operations of our Constitution. In England, whenever the people at large have resolved upon the expediency and reasonableness of any change in her tlfairs, external or internal, her system of representa tho n is found to be in that healthy condition that the teration desired is certain of being effectuated ; and were our representative system ascertained to be imperfect for the object coveted, we should set about widening its foundations, as we did in 1830. In France, the bearings of the political machinery are quite the reverse. There the will of the KING is omnipotent, that of the p eople a cypher. Hence it would be a great error to c. 3nfound the character of that enlightened country w ith the acts of the Government. There is no cor respondence between the one and the other. Louis 12 HILIPPE is, in fact, the perpetual Prime Minister of the State, and filling this anomalous position in con tsexion with the possession of sovereignty, it follows, from the infirmity of human nature, that extensive personal interests take precedence in his Imind over those of national consideration. The 'fact that Louis PHILIPPE sent for M. THIERS with the view of inducing him, as the chief of the Opposition in the Chambers, to abstain from .discharging his duty as a representative, by forbear ing to raise a discussion upon the Spanish marriages, is strong evidence of the direct influence he does not ihesitate to exercise in matters where legislators ought Ito be left free and unbiassed to deliberate upon points ~of intrinsic importance to their country's welfare. :In our time such an unconstitutional act as this 'would never be dreamt of or attempted by our Sove :Thign. Such an endeavour would never have been made "by the holder of the French sceptre, had M. GUIZOT'S ,conduct, to which he was instigated by his wily master, been honourable and worthy of the dignity .of France, instead ofhaving been tortuous andflagrantiy -unjust. But as this was not the policy of his Minis •terial dupe, Louis PHILIPPE, when no credit could 'be gained, was only anxious, in the interview which ,he insidiously commanded from M. Tnisns, to screen GUIZOT from merited disgrace, and himself from ;national censure. Fortunately, the regal manmuvre :failed, and the fulness of the treachery of the French Court has been rendered glaringly manifest by the ample debate which has since ensued in the Chamber of Deputies. M. GUIZOT may, and no doubt will, re main in power with the aid of a packed majority, ewhilst France herself must continue to suffer humi- Riatien. Neither do we see how the French nation .can in future be spared the repetition of similar and :indelible acts of degradation on the part of her public servants, except by effecting a radical change in the Constitution. The number of iplacemen in both Chambers, particularly among ?the Deputies, is notorious, and an outrage 'upon national liberty. This horde of bribed dummies of the State must be expelled, or reduced ;within decent limits, numerically commensurate with the chief offices of the Executive. Moreover, when ever our neighbours shall succeed in carrying this essential reformation, they must vigilantly guard Against and control any subsequent attempt to in crease the patronage of the Crown, more especially within the precincts of the Legislature. Till this be accomplished, and rigidly adhered to, France must remain a stranger to the benefits and blessings of constitutional independence. We are well aware that many intelligent and well disposed gentlemen have looked upon a large and ex tensive system of emigration as a panacea for the ills tof Ireland, as the sole means of alleviating per manently the distress in that country, while others, actuated by less amiable motives, see in its adoption a way by which they may escape the odium they would ,otherwise incur should they attempt to carry into execution their darling project of clearing their estates, and turning their unfortunate cottier tenants from the spots where they were born and brought up, and banishing them from their native land. The advocates of the system wilfully shut their eyes to its many objectionable points, and to the enormous ex penditure that must take place if the measure be adopted to the extent demanded, and which would be absolutely necessary in order to create the result they do‘rire—a sensible diminution in the amount of labour len drones that are invited to seek their fortunes on a distant shore. It is not those who press as a dead weight on the property of the country, and are burdens on its resources, that are to be expatriated, but the strong, the active, the intelligent, the indus trious labourers—persons who, if any opportunity j was afforded to them, can readily earn daily bread for themselves and families by their own exertions and the Sweat of their own brows. It would be the greatest inhumanity to export any other class, to banish those who should perish by a miserable and lingering death, if abandoned to their fate unregarded. It is a wilful casting away of the real strength of the country, of the producers of national wealth, of the consumers of exciseable products, and the contributors to the public revenue, to deprive us of those who could alone with justice be assisted to emigrate. Those persons may now be unable to obtain a profitable employ ment_for their labour. The money of the State should be employed in opening favourable channels for their industry, and not in driving them from our shores. At best, emigration can afford but a temporary benefit; the reduction thereby occasioned will speedily be filled up by the annual increase ; a continued drain equivalent to that increase must be kept up, and even that, expensive as it would be, will only keep things in statu quo, and not improve our condition in any respect. The real remedy must be in the in creased productiveness of the country. The only thing that could possibly justify the wholesale deportation desired would be the fact, that the land of the country was inadequate to produce a sufficiency for the support of its inhabitants, and most assuredly this is not the case at present. Let us just look to the actual cir cumstances, to the enormous quantities of live stock, of oxen, sheep, calves, pigs, of wheat, oats, barley—in fact, of every description of agricultural produce usually exported from the Irish to the British shores. Are these evidences of a country un able to provide for the food of its inhabitants ? Let us examine its capabilities. Fourteen mil lions of acres nominally in tillage, but the pro duce of which, it is calculated by competent persons, might be quadrupled by the proper application of that surplus labour that exists in the country ; four million acres of land as yet unreclaimed and un cultivated, untouched by the spade or the plough, but which might be converted into arable and pas ture land, to pay 10 per cent. on, the necessary outlay. Surely, with such opportunities for the profitable employment of the entire population, the Commissioners of Public Works were justified in saying, "It may be doubted whether the country does contain a sufficient quantity of labour to develop its resources." Sir R. KANE was rather below the mark when he stated " that Ireland might be made to produce sufficient for the support of seventeen millions of inhabitants." And the calculations of the celebrated OLIVER, in his work on population, founded on statistica tables drawn from official returns, are little, if at all, ex aggerated "That the resources of the British isles was sufficient to provide labour and subsist ence for six times the amount of the present popula tion." Away, then, with the idea that a wholesale trans portation must take place. If there must be a system of colonization, let it be a home colonization, and let the parties be engaged on the reclamation and improvement of the millions of acres now lying waste and unproductive, in extracting the hidden wealth from the soil, and converting the barren heaths and the trackless hogs into rich and fertile holdings. The same or a lesser expenditure than that which would be required for emigration would accomplish this magical transformation. Madrid papers of the Ist inst. have arrived. It is stated that the QUEEN has refused to accept the resignation of General PEZUELA, the Captain• General of Madrid. The Minister of Marine hes not yet been appointed. The documents relating to the Montpensier marriage are to be laid before the Cortes in a few days. The QUEEN has ordered a considerable sum of money to be placed at the disposal of the authorities of the Maeztrazgo to relieve the sufferings of the population.

The Commerce says— " We find in a letter from Vienna an expression Prince do Metternich made use of in a conversation with a young diplo matist, who appeared greatly alarmed at the consequences of the con fi scation of Cracow. We are threat ene d with war,' said the latter. By whom?' as k e d t h e Prince. By France,' replied the diplomatist; the act of the three Powers seems to have greatly irritated her. Has Austria sufficiently calculated the consequences of her conduct?' ' Sir,' answered M. de Metternich, with one of those smiles which are peculiar to him, you calumniate the French Go vernment; at its head is placed a courteous Minister, who insults nobody, and its never offended by the insults of others.'

THE WEATHER. TUESDAY, THREE O'CLOCK. The severity of the frost continues, and with more in tensity to-day ; but the snow has ceased, and the weather is beautiful—the sun shining brightly on spire and house-top, glittering with snow ! The contrast is withal refreshing, compared with the dull, foggy at mosphere we have had for the last ten days ; and the only wish now is, that as we hare had a good fall of snow, it may remain a few days longer.

BalmsEts, FEB. 4.—The Chamber of Representatives voted to-day a project of law relative to the export duties on tali - 115 - g unaffested an apprehension that thrGeZern=t might make use of a prohibitory vote of the Legislature on this insignificant object, as a precedent to obtain in the sequel a law prohibiting the exportation of flax, the Minister of Foreign Affairs positively declared that the Government will not propose any law containing measures prohibiting or restricting the exportation of flax. The Government, said the Minister, believes that the cultivation of flax might re . ceive a mortal blow by prohibiting the exportation since at present the cultivation of flax is so considerable that it has been necessary to have recourse to importation. The Chamber will discuss to-morrow the project of law re lative to the cultivation of waste lands. A deputation of the principal persons of the town of Most waited to-day on the Minister of Public Works, to urge him to hasten as much as possible the preparatory works for the construction of the railway from Ghent to Brussels by way of Alost. lieutenant The first ball given yesterday evening at Court was very brilliant; the number accompaniedo personsf regiment m v e e n r t y cr g E r i e i a te t : and the Count of Flanders in the Duke of Brabant, e persons, : I T ,T h ho e King wore t a h n e d u Q ui u fi e )r e m n, of a li ebj at half-past eight o'clock. eunifonrnoimbr of ns of lea G er u s d w ith many superior officers, arrived The young Princes were the Their Majesties conversed with a great object of general attention. and the ball did not break up till two o'clock in the mor n i ng .

BRUSSELS, FEB. s.—The Chamber commence d to-day the general debate on of Representatives re l a tive ito the `clearing of the waste lands. At the the project of l aw com mencement of the sitting the Ministe r o f Vira r pr pro ject of law for g rantin g a p en sion of 1,,000f. to presented a ajor Bo rgne , as a civic rewar d ; it was refereed to the central section on the b u dget of War Department, with a request to make a speedy report. Messrs. de Haerene and Rodenbach called the attention of the Government to the 1 deporable condition of the indigent class in Eas t Flanders, where In some com munes, out of 15 dea ths 13 are poor people,and where the d ea ths are double or triple the number of births. The Mi. n i s t er of the Interior replied , that the Government direct s its most serious attention to the question of pauperism f n Flan d ers , and that it has employed extensively pru dently the resource which the Legislature has placed and at its disposal, that it has performed its duty, and will continue to perform it with the most anxious solicitude. In answer to a question from Rodenbach, the Minister of the Interior an nounced that the benefits of the projects of law would be extended to all the uncultivated lands in Belgium, and that he has applied to Mr. Hamner, the engineer, for a report o the cultivation of the Vee Gerve y de, near Licht erwad 1 12 , i n West Flanders. The Chamber, proceeding to the general debate, received several amendments, which the Minister of the Interior pro posed to the original project. It then heard several Members in favour, and others against the proposed law. Mr. Shoffschmeett declared that the project of law was unconstitutional, being in direct violation of the practices of the communes, by the right of expropriation which it grants to the Government. The debate adjourned till to-morrow. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—VIENNA, Jiti. 30. 5 per Cent.

The body of the unfortunate man, whose name was Thomas Smith, was conveyed to t h e J olly S a il or , near w h ere the acci dent occurred, to await the result of a coroner's inquest.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of last night.) In the Liverpool market yesterday the sales of Cotton were 7,000 bales at about previous rates. There was abundance of new Cotton on show. Railway shares were without any material alteration and dull. The sale of Railway Shares to-day, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., was rather flat, and prices were a shade lower.

In the meantime we may safely calculate on a very large expendi tureoinf the eder hard eN-en sttrouggdleelay wh ich - h t ic h h e ere the United States can accomplish its ends, and if this is to be made good by the vanquished state, there will, indeed, be a sorry prospect for the foreign creditors. We should infer, however, that, as usual, brother Jonathan will be chiefly anxious to extend his territory, and conse quently, that California, or some other equally large addi tion to the overgrown states, will be the " compensation" accepted from the ill-used republic of Mexico, an easy prey, as it has been, to internal factions, and for that reason also to its foreign assailants. ' In the West India colonies, whence the accounts received reach to the middle of January, the weather had been very favourable for the crops, and a continuance of seasonable weather was expected to favour an abundant return to the planter. In Grenada and St. Lucia the weather had been very wet, and at St. Christopher's there had been fever prevalent ; but Jamaica, Trinidad, and the other islands were improving in their gene ral position. There is a striking instance of negro longevity adduced, a man named John Crawford Ricketts, having died in Spanish Town at the extraordinary age of 142 years, and having been in good health up to within about a fortnight of his decease. The Funds are weak again this morning, and there is very little disposition to support the market. Consols have re ceded to 90% % for present transfer, and to 90 3 ,( % for time.

The medical report stated that during the past year upwards of 7,000 out-patients had been relieved, and upwards of 100 patients had been received into the house and operated upon with the most gratifying results. The expenditure for the year was nearly 900/., the donations and subscriptions amounted to 312/., dividends on stock 221/. At the last annual meeting there was a balance in hand of 838/. 15s. ; but which, at present, in consequence of the great increase of patients, is reduced to 574/. The re port was adopted.

The CHAIRMAN then said that it would now be his duty to propose that the accounts which had just been read should be printed and circulated amongst the subscribers. Mr. PERRY said he felt pleasure in seconding the resolution they had just heard, but at the same time be thought it right to call the attention of the meeting to one circumstance; before doing so, however, he would say that they would not have many difficulties in winding up their affairs in future. Their directors might, in the opinion of several of the share holders, be fairly and safely reduced to three. The SECRETARY explained that it would be necessary to have live, and he believed that the three directors cuuld not, by any possibility, discharge the affairs of the company sa tisfactorily. Mr. Pity, as an individual, was perfectly satisfied. There was no person, from the circumstance of his having been an auditor, who had had a better opportunity of knowing how the affairs of the company had been conducted; but he had brought forward the present question upon the sugges tion of some of the shareholders. It might be necessary to carry out the affairs of this company effectively, that there should be five directors; but then three of the present di rectors might remain in office, and two others be appointed, honorary directors. These directors might be paid a small fee for their occasional services. The Cimia:stax, in a few words, acknowledged their re election, ar.d held out a strong hope that the traffic would still go on increasing, and, under the exertions of the board, he was convinced they had nothing to do but to go on and prosper. SPECIAL MEETING. The shareholders then resolved themselves into a speci..l meeting. The CHAIRMAN ,said he was ashamed to say that there were no less than thirteen Bills.—(Hear and Laughter.) The first was a Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from Woolwich to Spalding, and to construct docks at Wisbeach in connexion therewith. It would be twenty-one miles in length, and the estimated cost was 325,000/. The Bill was approved of. The CHAIRMAN said the next Bill was to make a liRO from Spalding to Newark, thirty-eight miles in length. The esti mated cost was 620,0001. A PROPRIETOR asked what was the aggregate capital of the thirteen Bills ? The CHAIRMAN replied, five millions.—(oh !oh !) A PROPRIETOR wished to have some explanation upon the manner in which it was intended to dispose of the York Ex tension shares. The CHAIRMAN replied that all the A shares would be called up before April, for the construction of the St. Ives and Wisbeach line, and B would be devoted to the p ur p oses of the Maldom and Witham line. C and D would be ap plied to the purposes of such lines as Parliament might grant in the present session. The shares would carry divi dends so soon as the lines to which they were applied came were into working operation.

Mr. SIeADBOLT, president of the company, . • chair, said that there would be no report submittea the meeting, and that all that would be done would be to lay the accounts before them. Mr. LEVY said their object should be to have a few re spectable gentlemen to manage their affairs. He thought that five was as small a nnmber as they could have to do that properly. Now, Considering the small amount those directors demanded for their labour, he thought that such could not be reasonably objected to.—(Hear, hear.) It might be supposed that because the Eastern Counties Railway had leased the line that there was nothing for their directors to do ; but they should recollect that circumstances and difficul ties might arise which would render necessary the active in terference and superintendence of directors.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. PERRY said he should repeat what he had already stated was merely the opinion of others, and not his own, and also that, as an individual, he was perfectly satisfied with the management of the company. Mr. MAUBERY stated that, looking at their accounts, they found that the directors had acted as bankers to the com pany, and that they (the company) could not carry on a concern like theirs at a smaller expense than had hitherto been incurred through the able management of the directors. The resolution was then put from the chair and carried unanimously. Messrs. Wilson and Deputy "Corney were then re-elected directors, which was acknowledged by Mr. Corney on his own behalf and that of Mr. Wilson. Mr. PERRY then proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded and carried unanimously, and the meeting separated. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern„ in Bishopsgate-street; Mr G. Hudson, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The meeting was made special,i-for the purpose of agreeing to certain new lines and extensions. In their report the directors announced a ilivideed, for the half-year, ending the 4th of January last, of 10s. per Aare of 14/. 16s. each on the consolidated stock of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and in proportion on the share capital of the Northern and Eastern Company. The gross receipts from traffic showed an increase over the correspond ing half of last year of 69,946/. 12s. 6d. The past season had been unusually trying to the permanent way and works, notwith standing which, their state throughout was very satisfactory. The cost of maintenance for the past half year, included in all 184* miles, 136 of which were now in the com pany's own hands, and the remaining twelve miles were maintained by contract. The increased length of road main tained during the last six months amounted to fifty-nine miles, viz. from Stortford to B ran d on, and from Stratford to Blackwell, besides the second line of rails from Broxbourne Junction to Hertford. Taking this additional mileage into consideration, it would appear that a clear saving of 4,035/. Is. 7d. had been effected, as compared with last year. The double line of the Hertford branch had been completed at a cost of 1,500'. under the estimate, and the double line of the Stratford and Thames Junction Railway would be ready for opening in the course of a few days. The new station at the Stratford Junction was now completed and might be opened in the course of a few days. The stock of engines on the line on July 4th, 1846, was fifty-eight passenger and thirteen goods engines. Received during the last six months, four teen passenger and five goods engines, making the pre sent stock amount to seventy-two passenger and eighteen goods engines ; sixty-two of these were in working condition, and twenty-eight under repair. The branch from Ely to Peterborough was not opened for general traffic until the 14th of January last, owing to slips having occurred at two points, that required the greatest energy and a large additional expenditure upon the part of Mr. Peto, the contractor, to conquer. Notwithstanding this Belay, the line had been delivered up for traffic in very com plete working order ten months earlier than Mr. Peto was bound to do by his contract. The construction of the lines between Cambridge and St. Ives, and St. Ives and Wisbeach was let, in September last, to Mr. Peto, and was proceeding with rapidity. The directors confidently anticipated that the portion of the latter line between March and Wisbeach would be ready for opening on or before the Ist of May,. and that the remainder of these lines would be completed in the autumn of the year. A direct communication would then exist with Huntingdon, by means of the Ely,and Hun tingdon Railway. Th e North Woolwich Railway and Pier would be completed for traffic early in the ensuing summer. Sins the last half vearlp MaVt i o n n', r - and i A artit ' ;eZ Railway, a short but valuable line. connecting the rising port of Maldon with the main lines of this company and the central portions of Essex. The works would be let on the 17th of this month for completion in the early part of 1848. The company was in possession of the greater part of the property required for the enlargement of the Bishopsgate station, and the contract for its construction would be forthwith let. In consequence of the increase of traffic, both in passengers and goods, which has lately taken place, the directors bad resolved to seek for powers in the ensuing Session of Par liament to obtain four additional lines of railway between the Mile-end and Bishopsgate stations. For the purpose of carrying out several objects, it was intended to make payable the first call of 21. 10s. per share upon the B. quarter of the York Extension shares in two instalments, of which one would be due on the 18th of March, and the other on the 18th of May next. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he felt it was unnecessary to dwell at any length upon the present affairs of the company, because the report supplied every information upon the subject, while the shareholder. were well acquainted with the topics connected with their future prospects. He could hold out no hope of a reduction in the working expenses but there was every prospect of their traffic increasing, without adding to their working expenses. He had found, since his connexion with the Eastern Counties Company, that a line with a metropolitan terminus could not be worked so cheaply as the lines of the north, but still it was gratifying for him to know, that although the expense was greater than that of any northern line there was no line under his mana gemen t b et t er or more efficiently worked. With these few remarks, helbeg - ged to move the adoption of the report, and that the dividend be paid on and after the 23d inst. A PROPRIETOR said he had seen it announced in a provin cial paper that their London terminus was to be extended on to the site of the Middlesex House of Correction. He regretted that this subject was not alluded to in the report. The CHAIRMAN replied, that when they came to the special business of the day he should be ready to give the Hon. Proprietor every information upon the subject. The resolution was then agreed to. Messrs. Hudson, Gibbs, Harrison, and Hood, were re elected directors. • 16% 1 % P 14U 4% 1% 12% 7% 27 Railway. The length was a mile and a half, and thee capital a million and a half. Several shareholders objected to the last Bill. The cost was too much. The CHAIMVIAW said the directors were prepared to with- , draw it. They took the opinion of the shareholders on those Bills in accordance with the standing orders, but they did -t bind themselves to proceed with all the Bills should for withdrawing any of them. reasons The Bill was •vitladrawn, and the two following Bale wer , agreed to : A' Bill to authorise the purchase, by the Eastern Coin .. ties Railway Company, of the Maldon, Withatn, and Braise tree Railway. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties. Railway Company to make a railway from the Great Northern Railway, near Spalding, to the Nottingham and Lincoln Branch of the , Midland Counties Railway. In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN stated that the A shares would be allow to carry dividends from July next, payable in the following January, and after the former month the A. shares would be divided from the B. In reply to another question, The CHAIRMAN said there was no truth whatever in the statement which had appeared in cue of the railwaY his thas it was his intention to resign owing to A the being unable to agree with his colleagues f 4O subject of the management of the line. .I , i" 'I A , that his character and reputation were bound 11P the prosperity, and should any event happen requiring retirement, which he did not for a moment anticipstey'd would take care that the shareholders should be inib rin t s . the fact by himself.
