AFFAIRS IN CHINA. The following is from a letter dated Hongkong, July 8 : " Lord Elgin has arrived; It was quite time that Eornothing should happen to break the dreary monotony of existence here. The last mail did not arrive, and we have onlyju.t learnt that the steamer was wrecked. . The Shan non, which brought Lord Elgin, brought us no news of anf.descrip ion, except that the Simoom was gone on to Calcutta, with the troops from the Mauritius. 'The sickly season is doing its work. Of the 600 men who now form the - strength of the 59th (a re giment, sent here some eight years ago) there are 150 in hospital. The proportion is still greater among the blare jackets and marines up the river. Happily, however. the Hongkong fever has not re appeared in its old terrible malignity. Although fever, dysentery, diarrhcea, and ague are rife, deaths are not numerous. There is plenty of hospital room, and the eurgeons can hold every case well in hand. Precautions are also mult: plied with a praise worthy minuteness. Every sentry has sherry and bitters given him to fortify his stomach against the night miasma ; the ships are alternately moved down to the healthy islands at the Bogue • and the elpulsion of our old friend, the Mandarin Of Chuen pee, was because his fort wits wanted for sanitary purposes. The few who have escaped, and who are daring enough to go out in the sun, try to escape from themselves by a voyage round the island or a trip• to Macao. I have accomplishel both these achieve- men.s. The voyage round the island was performed in a private pleasure steamer, and, notwithstanding the presence of a well-filled refrigerator, was the hottest thing I ever ditt my lifta S'anley,-ekt the back of the island, is a native village and an English barrack. It stands upon a pretty isthmus, withthe Chinese Sea breathing its south-west monsoon into its face and a tranquil, landlocked bay, rippling against its heels. They say tha't bay is not large enough or deep enough for the fleet of merchant-, men. the China trade employs. It is now used as a bathing-place for the troops, as the shelter of small fishing craft, and as a resource of very hungry pirates, who at night or early dawn have sometimes dashed into the bay and attempted to carry off fishing boats under the eyes of the garrison. It is a voyage of 40 miles round this little Wand. It is scarcely more to Macao, end, although the fate of the Thistle and the Queen has rendered the perils of that passage more notorious, I doubt whether there are more pirates lurking in the archi pelago between Victoria and Macao than in the islets at the back of Hong-Kong. While we gaily steamed along in our little toy steamer several times did some vicious looking junks standdown towards us, their large mat sails looking like the wings of a bird of prey, and heavy cannon frowning mischief from their deck. But they always stood off again when they found that we were a party of eight Englishmen with revolvers in our belts and silks lying close at hand. We grow used to precautions in this land. Some days since I went to dinner at a house high up upon the hill, and, expressing some surprise at seeing all the guests solemnly depositing their revolvers as they entered, was told that a few weeks since a headless trunk was found in the ditch that passes by the wall of the garden. Seven days ago Mr. Chisholm Anstey, Her Majesty's Attorney- General, was at Macao upon some professional bu-i -ness, and, going out to enjoy a swim before break fast, took -his comprador with him to guard his clothes. Coming back to the city, the comprador, who was a native of that neighbourhood, remarked that six fellows, of whose antecedents he had some knowledge, had posted themselves three on each side of a narrow place which he and his master must pass. This fact being communicated to Her Majesty's law officer, he drew his revolver and walked up to affront the danger. The scoundrels retired precipitately, but with -many impreca'ions upon their countryman, the comprador. But ah, Chung, and Cluing, and Wang, and Lin, had you but known how rusty and unserviceable that pistol was, you would have come on boldly with your 15-foot spears ; the bag of dollars would have been yours. Why so faint-hearted ? " Quis desiderio sit pudor ant modes Tarn can carStis I" That head was worth 500 dollars to you and Yeh. The passage boats to Macao are little artnour:es. There are cannon upon deck and revolvers in every belt. But so it was on board the Queen when the cannon was turned round and fired into the cabin upon the pas=engers absorbed in tiffin. Further precautions, however, are now taken. In the Fei Ma the Chinese passengers are put down the hold 12 feet deep, and the ladder is taken away. A sai lor keeps guard over them with a drawn cutlass. One of the Yankee shias has an iron cage on deck, into which the Chinese passengers are invited to walk, and are then locked up. The Pet:insular an I Orion ttl boat has a better 4at more coil ly precaution, she carries no Chinese passengers. -Easy, cosy l es ple at home, who fear nothing but the gout or an easterly wind, may laugh, or may even, perhaps, be very indignant at these precautions. But two boats out of five have Leen already-taken, and the passengers put to death. Death at the hands of those simple sons of civililation is Dann easy tran sit. The Bustard gunboat only a few days since, on taking a pirate, found two men nailed to planks, each with a stink-pot tied round his neck and slow matches burning. By what torments the prisoners taken in the Queen perished we do not know. She was carried up that very Fatshan Creek where the battle of the Ist of June took place. P.eces of machinefy marked by fire were sten on a point near the fort ; some revolvers were found in one of the junks ; and Captain Corbett obtainecra Por tuguese flag from a mandarin beret which after-1 wards blew up. These circumstances do not abso lutely prove, but they strongly suggest, that some scene of horrors was enacted in this spot, and that the fleet we destroyed were spectators of the tor tures. Every man in that fleet has been a pirate, and there would be no lack of proficients iu the art of producing agony. Such, up to the 2d of this month, were our re sources iu the absence of news from England, and in our ignorance of the wreck of the Erin. With the: rare exceptions we sit in a half torpid state upon our verandah, or, if we have none, then on the club verandah, and wait till the sun goes down and the notables of the place come forth for their half-hour's exercise. The booming of guns gives token that General Ashburnham is exchanging civilities with the French and American navies. General Garrett appears on his Penang pony— strong nerved old man, who alone, of all the new comers, has affronted the first burst of the climate without suffering a day's illness, who tells of Pen insular sieges and Crimean tattles just as an iron column would record them ; their dates a re written in lines upon its front, but it is tough and unworn as when first set up. Colonels Pakentiam and Wetherall are walking together in very good pre servation, and doubtless think this Chinese affair a very small matter after the battles before Sebas topol. Colonel Lugard is meditating deep things about mysteries which 1 attempt not to fathom, for Colonel Lug ard is the head of the Engineers. I wish he would think it necessary for some military puraose to drive a tunnel through :this Victoria mountain and let in the south- west monsoon. Major Macdonald, who so promptly put Balaklava to rights, has been at h's desk all day, and is stretch ing right away for a rapid walk. There are others whose names are scarcely less known to despatches, but quos nunc perscribere longum est. The ladies of the colony are coming forth. sparingly in pala quins or in pony chairs, and some of the residents are dashing by in light four-wheeled match carts, as though they could not get quick enough over their two miles of gt ound. The portico of the club has it groups of lookers-on, and in the hall there is a little crowd surrounding the ice pails—for ices at Hong Kong must be eaten between 6 and 7 o'clock, or not at all. Suddenly from the mouth of the - harbour .comes the sound of guns. We have scarcely applied our selves to count them when the Calcutta opens in a can be no doubt any reply, fires 19 times in measured succession ; then after, a longer—thepause sevengreat man b T a lsieaved. The sun r rri is down and the w ath er has changed, the wind m whistles and the rain descends ; but meet of us wait to catch a glimpse of the topmasts of the Shannon as she steams steadily into port and comes to anchor alongside of the flagship. Lord Elgin has arrived in perfect health. Two days were given to receptions on hoard. On the third he landed under salute from all the ships and from the fort, and the troops were turned out, and there was a gala day, and Sir John Bowring con ducted him through a line of soldiers to Govern ment house, where he now remains a guest, and where dinner parties, levees, and addresses are the order of the day. We have therefore a Plenipotentiary whom all parties hope and believe to be the man for the oc casion ; and we have leaders who, if ordered to do so, would take 10,000 men through China from the Yellow Sea to the Himalaya, but we have not got the 10,000 men. It was very evident that Lord Elgin'a posisiou QUITE NEW.

GENTLEMEN, —A telegraphic message, announcing the re ti,ement of Lord R. Grosvenor, reached me in Germany, and has caused me to return to Engtan I with all possible expedi tion, and at once to declare myself a candidate for the high honour of representing that great and important constituency with which my name and family have been associated for up wards of a century. Let me, however, rest my individual claims for your Support upon the principles and voi - es which I 11 .ve maintained and given during the five years I have sat in Parliament. During that period I have supported the Re moval of the Jewish Disabilities, the Total Abolition of rch Rates, the adoption of the Vote by Ballot, the Ad mission of my Dissenting fellow-subjec s to the advantages of our University Education, and all measures tending to promote and secure, in its best and highest acceptation, the great principle of Civil and Religious Liberty. The usual limits of an address would be exceeded were I to express at auy length my views upon the all-imports - t question of Par liamentary Reform. lam most anxious that the Franchise slionki be fairly and honestly extended, commensurately with the growing intelligence cf the people ; and any well-digested scheme, having for its object the removal of existing anoma lies in our representative system-shall have my warmest sup port. Under this head I may class the property qualifica tion now required; of Member • of Parliament, the repeal of which, as proposed this session by Mr. Locke King, I cor dially supported. The engrossing topic of the day is, however, the unhappy state of our Indian Empire. All classes of politicians must unite in one comm n feelb4 of horror and grief at the recital of atrocities almost unparalleled in the history of mankind ; and I shall, if returnml by yon to Parliament, most heartily support Lord Palmerston's Government, or any Administra tion, in such prompt and vigorous measures as may be deemed• advisable to quell the existing mutinies, to punish the guilty perpet , ators of those deeds of blood, and to re-establish our authority and dominion upon a firmer and more du•able basis. I shall, however, watch with a jealous eye the public ex penditure, and rigidly scrutinise every proposal which has reference to the burdens of taxation. - No one can feel more sensibly than I the weighty responsi bilities which must attach to him who is selected to represent the various and important interests of the Metropolitan County, and if the trust which I seek is committed to my care, I will devote my time and talents to its faithful and conscientious discharge. In your bands I leave the issue of acceptance or rejection. tho honour to he Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, • GEORGE BYNG. Wortham Park, Barnet, August 27, 1857; . MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

The favourite theory is that he is going to Japan, and it is not impossible that we may see the c'eishs of that mys terious island. The course really resolved upon, however, is this. A few days after this mail has been dispatched the Calcutta, the Shannon, the Pearl, the Inflexible, the Hornet, and two gun boats will proceed northwards, to rendezvous at Shanghai, and to proceed thence to the mouth of the River Pei-ho, on which river Pekin stands. Arrived at the nearest point to the capital, Lord Elgin will dispatch to the authorities, for trans mission to the Emperor, a letter requiring the Emperor within a specified time Tither to re cognise or to repudiate the acts of his officers at Canton. If the Court of Pekin repudia' e Yeh and pay compensation for past injuries and give security against their recurrence well. If, Las is most probable, either no notice be taken of the letter or a disposition be shown to entangle the ambassador in questions of cetemenia ! , Lord Elgin will declare war and thus relieve the relations of the two Powers from their present anomalous posi tion. Canton will then be occupied, the trade of the northern ports will not be uunecess trily inter fered with, but such further proceediega will be taken as may be necessary to bring the Court of Pekin to reason. Such is, I believe, the intended policy. Under other circumstances I should question it most hos tilely. It is full of risks. It seems to give autho rity to the mischievous notion that a Power which refuses to be one of the comity of eations is entitled to all the courtesies and forms of intercourse which civilised nations maintain among themselves. It affords an opportunity for the exercise of diplo , matie cunning, which may compel Lord Elgin either to fail in his mission or to adopt a tone of decision which may be readily represented as a rudeness. It affords a looplede for e , cape from a position which will not recur. The answer to those considerations, however, is this—We mmt do some thing, and we have not force to do what wa ought to do. Lord Elgin, therefore, will ether go direct to Pekin and conclude a treaty or he will come back and occupy Canton. In the iw(rest of a durable peace all the Europeans here hope that the latter will be the course whhih events will take. Many people think that there could be no diffi culty in carrying on our corrective measures in India and our war with China at the same time. There are doubtless Sepoy regiments which, al though not openly in revolt, are not trustworthy in action against their co-religionists. Why not send them to China ? Sepoys have already been upon the heights above Canton and behaved admirably. The sun of China, under which our ruddy English recruits grow feeble, as flies in frost, would deal tenderly with the Hireloo. So it was when Gough took Cautoe and Elliot sold his conquest. So it would be again. I believe the only objection to this obvious and ready expedient is the expense. If you bring Indian troops. here you must put all the Queen's troops upon Indian allowances. Since the days of General Gough the Cantonese look upon us as robbers and booty seekers whom it is right to exterminate when they can ; whom they could thrash if they pleased, but whom they can always get rid of by tossing to us a heap of silver. So they pointed derisively at us whenever they saw us ; they called out after us "Tab" (" beat them"), and "Shat" (" behead them") ; they encouraged each other to acts of violence, and they wrought that iutolerablo condition of things whi , :h tea,kes it necessary for us by more imposing force and by higher conduct to take an attitude of dignity—to show thee Cantonese tkat we are not peaty pirates and plunderers like themselves, but a mighty necez.sity for g)od and for evil which to them is irresista.ble as natural death. We must do wrong violence now, because we have been weak ant foolish in time past. But what we do we must do thoroughly. A single re verie and we should have either to withdraw from these shores or to overrun half the empire. lam not resting a feather weight upon my own judgment when I affirm that with our present force we could take this city in six hours. But I clunot resist the weight of the autiv city which says that we could not hold it as we ought to hold it. Great genius might doubtless multiply small means. I have heard it said by men whose deeds give them right to talk, that 500 men relieved once a f srtni,gist ought to hold the city for six montrs. Perhaps the ships could find occasion for keeping the in habitants of the 96 villages at home ; it was thy who a , ticked General Gough upon the heigles, and do terrible threat of a boiubardmnt is always open. The probabilities are that after the first slay the city would be as tranquil as this city of Vic toria. The Chi.,,ese shopkeers here say, " You cotchee citee ; we open shop halt hour after." But this is only a psobability. Were it not for the danger of the insurgents being beforehand with us precipitation would be madness. Evan with this danger impending it would not do to run the risk of finding ourselves in Canton with an in adequate force daily dwindling from overwork and disease. JULY 10. The following is Lord Elgin's answer to the ad dress that has been presented to him : "Gentlemen,—l amn muoh gratified by the welcome which you are pleased to proffer to me on my arrival at Hong Kong. " I am aware of the deep interest which you have in the re-establishment of a solid peace, and of the weight which deservedly attaches to your opiuion,—not only on the points specifically adverted to in this address, but also on the larger question of the r,-atijostment of our relations with the Chinese Empire. I shall therefore at all times listen with attention and respect to any repre sei.tations which you may see fit to make to me on these subjects, although the interests of the public service for bid that I should di,cuss the instructions with which, our Sovereign has honoured me, or the 13. - iurse which, in pursuance of tinge instructions, it is my intention to pursue. " Without, however, departing from the reserve which a sense of duty prescribes to me, I may ventura to state that I concur with you in the opinion that no settlement of our present difficulties will be satisfactory which shall fail to teach the Cantonese a wholesome reipcct for the obl gations of their own Government in its relations with independent Powers, and fur the ltws of hospitality to wards strangers who resort to their shores for peaceful purposes of trade. "The powerful fleet already assembled on these coastP, which will soon be supported by an ad,qnate military force, is a pledge of her Majesty's determination to afford protection to her faithful subjects in this quarter, and to maintain the rights to which they are by treaty entitled. " It is essential to the permanence of pacific relations with China, and to the security of trade, that the C,iurt of Pekin should be apprised that an arrogant refusal to treat with other Powers on the terms pi e,cribed by the comity of nations, or the alleged wiifu!ness of provincial authority, will no: henceforth be held to release it from the re,ponsibility of faithfully alheritig to (ngagements contracted with independent and sovereign States. "You refer in language of much force and justice to the difficulties which beset the mission on which I am en. tering. I ern not insensible to those difficulties. But knowing as I do that the Government which I serve is pursuing no selfish objects, that we may count on the c.rdial sympathy and active co-operation of other great and generous rations, interested with ourselves in the spread of commerce and the extension of citeli , ation —knowing, moreover, the valour and discipline of the forces, both military and naval, which, under able and experienced cominantere, are prepared, if need be, to support the honour of our country's flag,—l see no reason to doubt that, by prudence and patience, modera tion and firmness, tbey may be overcome.

[ PRICY 41). STAMPED RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTH-WESTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Morecambe on Friday. The Secretary read the report, from which it ap peared that the gross receipts of traffic, &c., for the half year had been 23,1491., being 90/. in excess of the amount received for the corresponding period of the year 1856. The expenses amounted to 12,7701., leaving a balance of 10,3791. The charges for interest on debenture debt, preference shares, uncompleted land purchases, bank balance., and a half-year's income-tax, amounted to 9,7131., being an increase of 5661. upon similar charges fur the corresponding period of the previous year. After payment of all preference charges there remained a ba!ance of 7061., which the directors recommended should be carried to the next half-year's account. The sum of 1,029/. had been paid on account of the expenses of the recent applicatson to Parliament, when they were defea - ed by the Lancaster and Car lisle Company ; anlthe directors congratulate the shareholders that the object they sought would be secured to the public without the necessity of their pledging their present undertaking for the large additional capital which would have had to be raised, inasmuch as their line would now form a connecting link of the shortest route between Lon don and Scotland. The directors concluded by ex pressing a hope that the Castle DouglaS and Port patrick and the Lancaster and Ulventone Railways would prove of considerable advantage to the com paoy by improving the trmfli.c upon their railway. The CHAIRMAN, after explaining the proceedings in Parliament diving the last session with reference to the Tub ly and Ingleton branch, moved the adop tion of the report, which was seconded by Mr. Hare, and carried. There was no kividend dec!ared, and after some discussion the proceedings terminated. THAMES HAVEN. The half-ye Lay meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Royal Exchange-build ings ; Mr. Pocock in the chair. The report stated that the directors regret having again to meet their shareholders wit hout being able to hold out the prospect of any immediate com mencement of their works. Fully believing that the time for active operations cannot be long de layed, the direcors yet think that they cannot with prudence do hiLer than wait the course of event-2. Some expenditure, however, will be necessary for the repairs of that port:on of the seawall which was not repaired on the late occasion. They will take care, however, that in this necessary work every economy is observed, and Dolling done that is not strictly required. The receipts during the half year ending the 30th of June amounted to 1,2871., and the expenses to 7221., leaving a balance of 5651. The CuArmstazi - , in moving the adoption of the report, stated that all their liabilities were settled. There were no debts, and in futura their expenses would be of :quill amount. _ In reply to (plea ions, it was stated that the cost of repairing the seawall might possibly amount to 4001., but it was expected that 1501. would be suffi cient for some time to come. As regarded the sde of the property, they had no power to sell it, even if thoy had the opportunity. They had engaged to make a - d. ck, whi , th they believed would he a good property, and unless their powers were allowed to expire by lapse of time they would not be in .a position to dispose of their assets. The report was the❑ adopted and the meeting separated. AMB ERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON. The half yea-ly meeting of this company was held at the Ne m Station, Nottingham, on Monday ; Mr. J. Wyles in the chair. The repor', an abAract of which appeared in The Sun, having keen taken as read, ThaCnAntmAN moved did it be adopted, and re gre tad that the station, owing to unavoidable cir cum4tance4, had not been opened at the time they an' icipated. Mr. T. C. BEASLEY seconded the motion. Mr. BURLEY, of Leicester, expressed himself very much gratided with the observations of the chair- The report was then adopted, and a resolution deAaring adi vi , lend of 9d. per share for the half year was a'so pa=s9d. Messrs. Wyles, Barblge, and Beesley were re elected directors, and Mr. Hollins was re-appointed anditlr. The proce3dings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. WHITEHA.VEN AND FURNESS JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Whitehaven on Friday, the Earl of Lonsdale in the chair. Mr. H. COOK, the secretary, read the report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun. The CHA.IIIMAN, in proposing the adoption of the report, congratulated the shareholders on the ac complishment of the event to which they had all along looked forward as a means of making their property remunerative. He alluded to the opening of the railroad from Ulverston to Lanca-ter, which gave them a direct communication with the south. Their revenue fir the last year or two had been gradually increasing, and there was every probabi lity of its continuing to do so in consequence of the great prosperity attending the iron trade in all its branches. That part of the country was peculiarly favoured with iron ore, and there seemed to be every prob tbility of that species of traffic increasing. They had obtained a new act of Parliament to enable them to raise 70,0001. on preference shares to discharge exiting liabilities. By looking at the accounts they would find that they were in debt 46,000/., which was not a large sum. At present they only ptoposed to obtain the sanction of the shareholdera to raise 50,0001., which would entirely clear them of debt, and the remaining 20,0001. would be available in case any new work should ba required for the increased traffic. He hoped that the remainder, if it should be required at all, would be sufficient to enable them to give the public all the advantages which would be required, and which might be necessary for the line to pay a fair dividend to the shareholders. Mr. J. B. WILSON had great pleasure in second ing the adoption of the report. He concurred in everything which the noble lord had said. From various circumstances which had come under his own observation he thought there was great proba bility of increases local trade in addition to the ge neral traffic. The proposition was agreed to unanimously. Mr. LIMB proposed that a dividend of 5i per annum, Iss income-tax, be paid to the preference shareholders. He believed that was the first time they had been able to pay a dividend even on the preference shares, at the full rate of preferential in terest. Mr. J. W. FLETCHER seconded the motion, which was agreed to. The Earl of Lonsdale, Mr. W. 0. Gore, and Mr. C. Hopkinson, three of the retiring directors, were then re-elected; and Mr. Sandmere and Mr. Walker wet e elected in the room of two directors, who re signed. Mr. George Buckham was elected a direc tor in order to increase the number of directors from 15 to 16. Mr. E. C. Bourne, the retiring auditor, was also re-elected. The inciting was then made special, and a reso lution passed empowering the directors to issue pre ference shares to the extent of 50,0001. to bear in terest at the rate of 5i per cent. per annum, and be re leemable at the option of the directors at any time aftt.r the expiration of 10 years. Mr. G. KNOX said the income of the companrivas now sufficient to pay the interest on the additional preference shares they were about to issue. pro A ce v e o d t ing eo s. f thanks to the cha irman terminated the _ --.....

Gib son, having been re elected, the proceedings terminated. ST. ANDREW'S AND QUEBEC. Tha half-yearly meeting of A shareholders in this company was held yesterday at Whitehall—Mr. Fry in the chair. Mr. Byrne, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the bill introduced in the late session of Parliament by the New Brunswick and Canada Railway and Land Company, having for its object shareholders. The several liabilities referred to iu the schedule at the foot of the said agreement have been fully discharged out of the funds supplied by the New Brunswick and Canada Railway and Land Company, which they were bound to do under their contract. The slatement of receipts and expenditure from the 31st of Dec., 1855, to the transfer of the property in October, 1856, showed that 11,2761. had been received, and 10,3841. expended leav ing a balance of 892/ , of which sum 857/. wn claimed by the Receiver-General, leaving a balance of 35/. at the bankers'. On the motion of the CHAIRMA-V, the report was adopted, and the retiring directors, Messrs. F. Ed wards, H. U. Chilton, and R. Fry, wore re-elected, and also Mr. Groves, the retiring auditor. The meeting then separated. HEREFORD, ROSS, AND GLOCESTER. The general half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday ; Col. Vaughan, the chairman, presiding. The report was adopted, and, after some discus sion on the subject of the present inconvenient postal arrangements, the meeting separated. NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROS TREVOR. The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at Liverpool ; Mr. F. Shand presiding. The report stated that the parliamentary powers have been fully obtained, enabling the Newry and Enniskillen Company to extend their line to Armagh, and this company to join it, and also to lay rails along the \Yam npoint Dock. The whole of the 5,000 preference shares issued under the re solution of Feb. 28, 1855, having been taken up, the directors propose to take powers to convert an additional sum of 10,0001. of the outstanding de benture debt into similar preference shares. The report was adopted, and after passing other formal resohttious the meeting separated. WATERFORD AND LIMERICK. The 24th half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at Waterford ; Maj , r H. Massey presided. In their report the direc'ors regret ex tremely that their hopes of increased traffic have le?n disappointed m the last half-year. The re ceiptg, however, are better than those of the cor responding half-year by 4021., while the working expens"s are considerably less than the outlay for the period named. The state of the accounts is such as to preclude the directors from recommend ing a dividend to the original shareholders. The resolution adopting the report was unanimously adopted, as was one declaring a dividend of five per cent. to preferential shareholders, and six per an'. to the 101. preferential shares subsequently issued. FUND FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SOFFERERS BY THE AIUTINY IN ENGLAND. Yesterday the committee recently appointed at the meeting at the Mansion-house for the purpose of devising means for collecting a fund for the relief of the suffers by the mutiny in India assembled in the Egyptian-hall, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor.

" The Ambassador of France, F. DE PERSIGICT.' Upon the In .tion c f Alderm%x WIRE, seconded by Col. HENDERSON, this letter was entered upon tl,e luinu es.

ARCHDEAO3NIDENISON'S CASE.—The appeal in the celebrated Ecclesiastical case of Ditcher v. the Arch deacon of Taunton, will come on for hearing before the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, early in Novem ber. When the case was before the Arches Court, where it was taken by appeal from the Archbishop of Canterbury's Court, at Bath, Sir John Dodson, the Dean of Arches, decided that the proceedings were not legally commenced, according to the provisions of the Clergy Discipline Act, within two years of the commission of the alleged offence, and that therefore the whole of the proceedings were null and void. Against this decision Mr. Ditcher appeals to the Privy Council. Dr. Bayford will open the c as for the appellant, and the Archdeacon will be represented by Dr. Rolzort Phillimore. As the case rests eutirely upon technical grounds, the argu ments will last several days, and it may be some time before a final judgment is delivered. In the event of that judgm nt being in favour of Mr. Ditcher, the case will Lave to be re-argued again upon the importiint point , of doctene which are involved. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE TO INDIA.—We ale in- formed that the European and American Steam Ship ping Company, who are now the owners of the fleet of ships built for the India postal service via the Cape, by the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, have mado a proposal to the chairman and East India Board to establish a monthly line of steam trans ports from Southampton, overland, to Bengal, or such of the Presidencies as may most require imme diate reinforcements. The fleet possessed by the con tractors consists of eight powerful screw steamships, already most favourably known durlng the late war, and fully capable, as we are informed, of carrying out the proposed service. Fou r of these vessels have been already chartered by th e East India Company, the Golden the Lady Jocelyn, 2,250 tons ; the 2,250 tone; and the Hydaspes, 2,250 The other four now em p lo y ed u p on the B remen a Fleece, Queen o f 2, t 7 h 0 . ostootintsi) : N e w York , trade , of equ al size and similar cttounds. accom modation, it is sugg ested, shall be withdrawn from that t rade and p laced at the dis p osal of the East India Board i o c a a r t d i 0 n w in the it h course Indi a. T o he first f the of months the ho f i October a nd November , so as to give a perfect line of steam ober s c ,mni a d e spatched to India could discharge her troo ps psa lready and reach Suez in sufficient time to receive the regiments forwarded from Southampton in the month of October, be they draughts or reserves, while she could also deliver at Suez such of the British troops invalided as had reached Calcutta or the other presidencies by the end of September or October. The ad vantage of this arrangement shortly stated would be a direct and regular communication with India monthly, or more frequently, if necessary, by ships withih the absolute control of the board, with the Power to forward to Bombay, within 45 or 50 days from England, such reserves or reiuforceinents as may be required, and with a speed and certainty of despatch which has tot as yet been 'attempted. One of the peculiar features of the service 's tl at the four ships on the Indian side of the Isthmus being of precisely the same character in point of size and fittings with those on the European side, the troops em barked in England, on reaching Suez from Alexandria, would find the same accommodation prepared them there as that from which they had but a few hoo.ra be fore disembarked ,— advantage which those who are familiar with the transport of large bodies of men ca n alone entirely appreciate. We announce this proposal simply as it is communicated to us, but we must say not unaccompanied with some in terest in its success, and perhaps we should add armietY, in a public point of view, as to the manner in which it will be received by the authorities in Leadenhall-street. In any case we think it but just to all parties that the public should be informed as to what is in progress in connexion with a question so full of painful interest' to many, and of such deep moment to us al!.--Observer.
