The twenty-first report of the directors, to be submitted to the annual general meeting on Tues day next, contains the following passage. " The East India Company having agreed to raise the rate of guaranteed interest from 4i to 5 per cent. on a further stun of 1.500,000/ of the capital, the board have been enabled to offer an allotment of new shares to the pro prietors, in the proportion of one sharefor every 1001. con solidated stock, or one share for every five shares of their existing investments. This capital is issued on precisely the same terms as foi suer issues, and when fully paid up can be consolidated into stock. The directors regret that they have not received information to so late a date as they could,bave 'wished as to the state of the works on the di vi,ion of the line from Calcutta to the river Km umnassa. By thelAst letters it appears that Mr. Turribull'had com pleted his tour of inspection, but his report has not come forward ' • it may be expect e d by th e nex t ma il, and will then be open for the information of the share holders. [The line from Calcutta to Ranegtinge, ]214 miles, was opened for traffic on 3d Feb., 1855. The line con• structed by the company's engineers through the South Beerbhoom district, about 45 miles, from the junction near Burd wan to the river More, was at the last date in a very forward state.] '" Mr. Evans, acting chief engineer in the upper provinces during the temporary absence of Mr. Purser, having recently inspected the works • on • the line from the river Kurumnassa to Delhi, furnishes the board with the particulars of the progress made to the 13th Feb. The works from the Kurum nesse to Mogulscrai, near Benares, about 50 miles, are proceeding with the expedition necessary to insure their being ready by the time the permanent way mate rials can he delivered to the contractors. From Benares to Allahabad, oh ut 95 miles, the contractors have not advanced the wen ke so steadily as was expected. From Alla.habad to Cewupere, 126 miles, the wore s generale , are progressing satisfactsriiy, and the rails are hid for a distance of 23 miles. The Cawnpore district line, 26 miles, has been taken out of the contractor's bands, and together with the Etawah, Agra, and ,Delhi district lines, is now being carried on by the company's engineers. The directors say, with reference to the works of the line from Allahabad to Delhi, in their present state, there seems to be no reason why, if it be found practic able to get the permanent way materials up, the whole distance whould he opened by the end of 1858—and the board will give directions that every exertion be used to accomplish this object. During the year ending the 31st of December last 65,000 tons of these materials were shipped at favourable rates' of freight, notwith standing the fact that, from one cause or other, there was a general scarcity of shipping. ,The steadily increasing traffic on the line from Calcutta to Renegunge, as exhi bited by the following facts, cannot fail to be highly gra tifying to the proprietors. The number of passengers carried between the Ise July and 31st December, 1856, was 465,121, showing an increase in this branch of the traffic over, the half-year ending June, 1856, of 32,800 passengers, or "as compared with the corresponding half year iu 1855 of 107,486 passengers. The tonnage in goods and minerals; exclusive of parcels, carriages, and live stock, from Ist July,'lBs6, to 31st December, 1856, was 44,695 tons, giving an increase of 11,685 tons over the half-year ending, 30th June, 1856, or 24,675 tons over the corresponding half-year of 1855. The traffic receipts for the year ending 81st Dec., 1856, amounted to 95,1831. 16s. 41., against 58,5871. 16se 10d. for the year ending Dscernber, 1855; and in March last they bad reached 3,5001. per week. The payments made to the East India Company, being the balances of receipts over expenditure on account of revenue, and in dimi nution of their advances for interest, will further illustra'e the satisfactory progress of the working of the opened lne. They have been as follows : For the half .year ending June 30, 1855; 10,6311. ls. 7d. ; ditto, De cember 31, 1855, 20,6211 lls. 2d. ; ditto, June 30, 1856, 27,791/. 3s. 3d. ; ditto, December 31, 1856, ac counts no; received. The board are mesh disappointed at not being able to publish the revenue accounts to the 31st December. They are informed that the accounts will arrive by the text mail, and, in that case, may be in the hands of the board in time to be communicated to the shareholders at the meeting. If not, they will be open to their icspection at any time afterwards. The board have giv,n such directions as they trust will pre vent a recurrence of any delay in transmitting the ac counts necessary to submit to the shareholders. The working expenses for the half-year ending June 30, 1856, have been brought down to 40.56 per cent. of the re ceipts ; and the manner in which the locomotive and traffic departments have been conducted reflects the highest credit on the officers of those establishments. The details of the proposed contract with the East India Company for the Mirzapore and Jubbulpore line_ are not yet comphred. -At the suggestion of the Government of India the couApany's engineers are taking 'borings of the River Sirtitj, with a view to determine the most eligible point for crossing that river; this will be the mast pertain work ou the line from Delhi to Lahore. As an agent to succeed Sir 111. Stephenson at Calcutta, the board have appointed Mr. Edward Paimer, late of the Great Western and Great Northern Rail way Companies, who ;eaves this country for India by the mail of the 4th May. The agency in the meantime has been conducted by Messrs. Stokes and Boyle ; the former the locomotive superintendent in Bengal ; the latter the accountant of the company in India. The consolidation of the shares into stock under the resolutlon of the general meeting of 30th Oct. 1 tSt Was carried out under the immediate and personal direction of the board, and the examination into the share and transfer department has only tended to as sure the beard of the accuracy with which the business has been con ructed. The followin4 directors retire :—Mr. James Braum•.nf, Mr. J. D. De Vitro, Mr. Alexander Nairne, off, r themselves for re-election. Mr. C. Far- Tillarson, andi , or, retiree, and offers himself for re-ehc• tion. Mr. F. W. Simms, who has been acting as auditor for the la-t ten months, offers himself for election.

EXPULSION OP THE POOR-LAW IN SPEoTOR FROM' THE MARYLEBONE BOARD OF GUARDIANS. -C.- Yesterday, in consequence of it having been an nounced by Mr. Farnell, poor-law inspector, that it was his intention to attend and take his seat at the Maryle bone Board of Guardians, .there was not only a full at tendance of members, but the space appropriated to ratepayers behind the bar was completely filled. Mr. BEETOR 'occupied the chair, and shortly after 12 o'clock Mr. Farnell, the poor-law inspector, entered the room, on which several guardians rose and called atten tion to -the circumstance that a stranger was present. Mr. Farnell was then asked who he was, and having ex plained, he was asked if he was a ratepayer, to which he replied in the negative. Mr, SALUON then moved that all ratepayers be re quested to retire behind the bar, and those who were not ratepayers and strangers be required to witlitlraw. Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT, amidst much dissent, main tained that Mr. Farnell was not a stranger, and that, as the officer of the Poor-law Board, he bad as much right to take his seat there as any of them.. He called on the clerk to read the clause of the act of parliament which gave him that right. (Loud cries of "No, no.") After considerable discussion, • The CHAIRMAN read the 20th section of the 10 and 11 Vint., cap. 109, which gave poorllaw inspectors the power of attending every board of guardians or other local meeting held for the relief of the poor, and to take part in the proceedings, but not to vote. Mr. FARRELL did not consider himself a stranger, and was about to address the board, but several members protested against his being heard, and called for a vote. The motion was put and carried on a' division by 21 to 4. Sir JAMES HAMILTON wished to move that Mr. Far man *ltfidraw biiiattendancetill that day fortnight, and that in the meantime the board take the opinion of the most eminent counsel as to bis right to be there. This was met with the most determined opposition and ca'ls upon the chairman to enforce the resolution already carried. The CHAIRMAN bad no doubt if some gentleman would move that Mr. Farnell be requested to withdraw, he would do so. (Hear.) Any future step of the board could then be arranged. Sir JAMES HAMILTON said, as the readiest way of carrying out what he bad previously proposed, he would move " that the gentleman attending as the representa tive of the Poor-law Beard be requested to withdraw." (Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Rev. J. T. PELHAM seconded this re colution, and it was carried with one dissentient- (Mr. Morrison). Mr. FARNELL said be should of course comply with the resolution, but the question would now have to bo tested between the Guardians and the Poor-law Board in a court of law. He then retired. A resolution was read from the P.-litical and Parochial Association of the borough of Marylebone, denouncing the interference, and offering their co-operation in resist ance. It• was ordered to be entered on the minutes. The board, after other business, separated. SPOR,TING /TOTES. THE TWO THOUSAND. The great coming event at Epsom will cast its sba dlsys somewhat plainly before at Newmarket next week, when much that is looming dimly in the future will be rendered distinct and clear. The racing at Newmarket will be Most important, for it will bring out the princi- pal Derby horses, whose merits or demerits will be soon ascertained and determined. At York on Tuesday and Wednesday last the ranks of the favourites were won derfully thinned. The running of Skirmisher almost turned the current of speculation, and showed that the tide of fortune sets in steadily towards Lord Zetland. At present my fancy for the Two Thousand paints towards the leading favourites—Vedette and Kent. I do not profess to understand the suspicious movements with reference to Loyola and Sydney. Anton must have greatly improved on his last year's form if he. be the " flyer" that the partisans of the Danebury stable uphold him to be. In accordance with my usual custom .I shall despatch ,my Notes on the Two Thousand from Newmarket in time for publication in Monday's Sun. I will, however, now briefly refer to the events set for decision on the opening day, as they will be run off before I again address the reader. The esta:Aishment of the Spring Oatlands will • be an additional inducement to turfites to assist at the inaugu ration of the meeting. The race is likely to bring out a lsrge ficl I, and aff.,rd some brisk "post betting." Kestrel, Bubbk, and Admiral Lyons seem to me the most attractive names, and I do not fancy the Admiral will find an opponent formidable enough to, make him strike his colours. The Match and the Sweepstakes I shall pass over without comment. More scandal is likely to be brought on the turf, for Quinton, the jockey, has commenced an action against Bell's Life fur libel. "Bell" will plead a justification, and the public may, after al', be let into the mysteries of pulling and roping. I really hope Quinton may clear his aaracter, for he is a clever jockey, and so far as I am all.: to judge, he always appeared to me a civil and well-conducted young man. A FRESH MAN. April 26. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY. Owing to many of the leading members of the rooms being at Malton, the betting here is of less importance - than it otherwise would be. For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes the odds, at the rate of 100 to 30, was taken freely about Vedett.. Kent was in demand at 4 to 1. 6 to 1 was offered against Loyola, and 7 to 1 was t-kken and offered against Anton. For the Derby, Skir misher was hacked at a shade over 14 to 1 to win up wards of 1,0001. For the Chester Cup Commotion was supported at 20 to 1 rather freely, and Turbit had friends at 40 to 1.

A IiVEIV CU OPINION OP THE RUSSIAN RAILWAYS: The Siccie has a long article upon the subject, summing up in this way : "The whole matter is stamped with Russian despo tism : thus, of the 18 members of the Council of Admi nistration, 10 are Russians, and are attached more or less to the suite of the Emperor; 2 are natives of Holland, 5 are Frenchmen, and England is only represented by 1 member. In every deliberation the Russian opinion will always prevail, and the foreign administrators will more over rarely be present, at the sittings of the council ; it may bo affirmed, without fear of fatting into error, that their names only figure as a matter of form. The admi nistration of these railways will be entrusted in the most absolute manner to Russian functionaries. Now, with out wishing to recall all the accusations of corruption and venality long since brought against all Russian officials, we will say that a man must be a decided optimist to find in this organisation all the guarantees that are gene rally expected in great enterprises. Moreover, does the financial and industrial position of France favour the project ? Have we completed our branch lines, or even all our principal lines? Does not Algeria wait for the commencement of her network? Shall we not be called upon shortly to establish the transatlantic line of steamers, so long adjourned? Does not the actual rate of discount still weigh heavily on trade, and would it be wise, or even patriotic, to incur the risk of creating another monetary crisis by burying hundreds of millions in the steppes of Russia It is said that only a hundred millions will be asked from the Bourse of Paris; but is it not to be feared that the shares, once created, will be sett to our market for negotiation and exchanged against our capital ? We distrust great enterprises that commence in a petty man ner ; they are like those black spots, almost impercep tible, that are observed at sea in tropical regions, and which infallibly extend into the most terrible hurricanes. We repeat that these Russian lines are simply strategi cal, that the most important commercial points are ut terly neglected ; that the civil and commercial state of the nation does not yet authorise the establishment of railways, for nations do not at once attain the level of modern iprogress, and Russia has much to effect be fore her population can travel, manufacture, exchange, or even consume with freedom. Not only will the line obtain little traffic, but they run the risk of being very badly directed, and we do not see what remedy would exist for shareholders in Western Europe. Finally, our monetary position is not sufficiently well established, our wants are too considerate to permit us to lend to our neighbours, without danger, a portion of the wealth without which we can create nothing at home." FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A man was killed on Saturday on the line of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Woodside, near Dudley, by a train passing over him. The deceased was crossicg the line at a point where a public road crosses it on a level, when a train came along the line from Dudley, and at the same moment another train proceeding in a contrary direction approached. The deceased saw only one of these trains, and was looking a t it with his back turned towards the other when he was observed by the driver of the train, who blew his whistle. The man, a miner, named Millington, did not hear the alarm, and was consequently knocked down and cut to pieces. At the inquest, since held, the jury returned as their ver dict—" That the deceased came by his death accidentally ; at the same time they must reprobate in the strongest terms the conduct of the directors of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company in not properly protecting the public." The jury also expressed a hope that the company would compensate the widow, i and we understand they have forwarded a sum of 15/. ' to the widow.

The 57% 289 171% 108 NEWSPAP.F.it • .14 . ..4 • 4 +-A*te THE NEUCHA •• (Franz the Tithe itai S The King of Prussia has driven a bard bars in a very hard bargain—with the Swiss iu the Neu chatel affair. We confess, certainly not with shame, that we had completely gone astray, upon the mat ter. Four or five months back we had not the int telligepce to discern that this As a mere question ; of s. d. ; that the Prussian Sovereign' was not in reality solicitous about the honour of his double , eagle and his ancestral blazonry, but that his real object was to drive a sharp bargain, in the most pecuniary sense which can be attached to that phrase, with the Swiss Confederation. How often do similar cases occur in real life We suppose that our friend Captain O'Rafferty is standing upon the point of honour, when in reality the-divine wrath of that gallant individual is only to be assuaged by halm of a far more prosaic description than an which is usually appli e d to sent i mental sores ! Th e Conferences which have been recently held at Paris on the Swiss affair hare been for all the world like a mosk auction, •in which the Envoy of the King of Prussia acted the part of auctioneer. " What shall we say for Neuchatel t Beautiful Swiss Canton, near the lake of that name ; pictur esque castle ; healthy situation ; swarming with tourists in the summer season. Shall we say 100,000/.1 No bid ? Gentlemen, consider the clocks. Let me say 70,000/.-50,0001. The feel ings of the vendor and the honour of the HOMO of Brandenburg ought not to be lost sight of altoge ther. I am not only disposing of a flourishing Can ton, but of the credit of a most respectable Monar; chy. Say 45,000/. Why, gentlemen, really this is a mere trifle-40,0001. No bid ? Lower than that figure I cannot go ; at that price I am instructed to buy the lot in. The chivalrous feelings of the vendor will not allow him to accept a lower price." This is really no exaggeration of the course of the negotiations which have been going on in Paris for the last few weeks. Dr. Kern bas been sent back to Switzerland with an ultima tum for 40,0001. Below that point the Royal chaps man positively refuses to deal. Some trifling ad ditions are attached, -such as that the King of Prussia is to retain the name of "Prince of Neu chatel"—he might as well bargain for the title of "Prince of Abyssinia"—and a guarantee for the proper administration of the chart tble institutions of Neuchatel. This last condition is a matter of course—the former one too ridiculous to deserve even passing discussion.. The real point is as to the 40,0001. It was for this that at the conclusion of the last, and at the beginning of the present year, all Europe was set in commotion, and the world; scarcely recovered from the throes of the Ru.siart war, was startled with the announcement of another and, it might' be, A more terrible struggle. The dead were removed, the sand- was scattered-on the arena, the trumpets sounded a fresh alarm, and a fresh pair of gladiators stepped into the arena. Prussia and Switzerland had taken no share in the battle of the nations, but now they were to exhibit their untried prowess on a field apart. The greatest apprehensions, however, were entertained that this contest could not go on far without attracting into its area other champions and 'mere powerful in terests—so strong are the sympathies of policy and war. Alas ! we were all mistaken—Sovereigns, Cabinets, statesmen, writers, and politicians— here was no question of a European war, but of 40,0001. We are sometimes inclined to think that, after all, the King of Prussia is one of the cleverest men in Europe. From his retirement at Potsdam he contemplates with a genial smile the jar of human passions and the play of human interests. The European drama is to him not a performance in which he himself is called upon to take a share, but an excithig`exhibition, of which he is to be a mere spectator, with the privilege of turning an horaeht penny as be best can. WTben the world is in King Cambyses' vein he will applatid the ex pression of chivalrous emotion ; he will lead a stately measure round his .Ritter-Saal with an enormous wax candle in his hand, and then go, not to war, but to bed. He will review his t roo p s , and almost weep over them, and then dismiss them to their . barracks. He will listen with the most profound emotion to choral strains of so exttemely exciting a character that they'would almost inspire an oyster with the emotions of a dragoon ; but nothing comes of it.' When all is said and done, you will find the Prussian Bayard at a later period of the evening disputing with his own, particular set over some theological or metaphysieel inanity ; or, as we now find, working out in his head EOOlO little sum in which his own private interests are more immediately concerned. This was just the result, we will not say that it was altogether the nee tive of the Prussian policy throughout the Russian' war. While England and France were pouring out the blood of their bravest children and expending the resources of their treasuries—while Austria bad assumed an attitude which has drawn upon her the permanent hostility of her powerful neighbour, and even the little kingdom of Sar dinia sent forth a gallant band to do battle in the cause of European freedom—it would be hard to say what the Prussians were about, save making their profit t out of the general calamities of mankind. While other nations were fighting and suffering they were buying and selling ; while Fiend) and Enalish, and Sardinians and Turks, on the one side, and Russians on the other, were sole diem, the Prussians were but carriers and chap men. They refused to take any share in the com mon exertions and common glory. These things , passed away, and a time of profound peace suc ceeded. It has just been broken tier a fixed resolu tion on the part of tile Prussian Sovereien to put the armed forces of the monarchy in motion to ob tain payment of 40,0001. for the goodwill and fix tures of the canton of Neuchatel. It would be idle .to recur to the old protestations about the dignity of the Prussian Crown, and the implied promises that, if once the point of honour were saved by the unconditional release of the prisoners, the King of Prussia would pass lightly over all other conside rations. The prisoners were released, and we see the result. The question, after all, was merely one of thalers and ready money. There is no plaister for outraged honour like a bank-note. The condition, as far as the Swiss are concerned, is undoubtedly a hard one ; still, we trust that, as a shrewd and discreet people, they will have the sense to smile at the extortion, and to submit to ia, for the sake 'of peace. There is scarcely a pri vate individual, in this country at least, who is not obliged twice or thrice in his passage through life to submit to some extravagant charge, or to pay some bill twice over, rather than incur the discom fort and perils of litigation. A claim of this de sciption may, no doubt, be occasionally resisted with success, but the cost 'of the successful resist ance will far outweigh the evils of resignation. A sum of 40,0001. is, after all, no great amount of black-mail when the charge is distributed over a numerous and thriving population. We doubt not that the charge incurred since this outbreak began, or even the cost of calling the forces of the Con federation together in the course of the last few months, has far exceeded the price named by the Prussian agent for the stock, fixtures, and good will of the Canton of Neuchatel on the part of his principal. Better pay the sum once for all, and have done with a litigious, troublesome claiinant, from whom nothing is to be expected but annoyance and strife. The transaction is one which will reflect no great glory on the Prussian Crown in the pages of history. Had the Prussian King chosen to act in his capacity of a private per son, and dispose of a property in a foreign country to which he might have a title more or less satis factory, there would not have been a word to say. The King of Prussia has as good a right as Paul or Peter to receive the value of any farm or farming stock he may be inclined to sell. In the pre sent case, however, he has called into action the forces of the Prussian. Monarchy in a caase with which the Prussian people were not at all concerned. He bas called upon the Cabinets of Europe to arbi trate upon his private rfghts. The best thing under the circumstances is to pay him the 40,0001. which he does not disdain to claim, and to leave the Royal Trapbois of Potsdam to the judgment of Europe.— Times. PULPIT PRONUNCIATION.—Why is it that so many of our curates in the reading desks of our various churches so far depart from good pronunciation as to continually o-press us with the o-pression, of the o-pressor, and almost upon every o-casion that may o-cur, seem to be po-sessed with a spirit of incorrectness, that certainly produces an eject, but unquestionably a very bad one ? Several other words could ue mentioned as being often made subject to this mutilation, but these are perhaps the most frequently presented to the attention of the hearers. Now, most assuredly, if we are to continually look up to " the senate, the pulpit, and the bar," as our standard of right and wrong in the matter of pronuncia tion, it behoves those who take up a position in either of these guiding influences to keep that standard pure, and not, at least, to misguide the many who have to follow the lead of the few. Let aught of wrong in the system, of hov:ever long tenure, give place to the pro gression of intellect and knowledge, but let no partial stretch of over-refinement lead them into what must be considered as at once an affectation and an error ; for the evil will not be confined to them selves, but will gradually, but surely, pass into common use, and thus, not only the standard of our own day become vitiated, but an unnecessary difficulty created for the next generation to overcome. The evil, such as it is, is decidedly a growing one ; and therefore it is essential that attention should be directed to it without delay, for, to all who love the fulness and free dom of o u r beau tiful and expressive language, it cannot be a matter of indifference that its force and vigour should be thus idly frittered away.—Ath,mccum. 5,741 22,501 7,041 24,706 5,345 21,3,3 56,703 1,447, 12,052 14,610 707 9,005 763 821 29,468 3,474 4,702 7,007 834 1,448 2,433 818 2,268 16,256 5,965 2,222 3,739 1,531 989 598 302 2,028 GOP o f of bold. autos one, 01►04 fall' , Tate° a t to d, of 'call , 0: ;C. it,
