The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday in the Board Room, London bridge, for the consideration of general business. Charles Pascoe Grenfell, Esq., occupied the chair. I, The advertisement calling the meeting having been read by Mr. Buckhorn, the following report (which embodies the subject-matter o f the proceedings of the meeting) was sub mitted to the shareholders : " The present is the second ordinary meeting of the London and Brighton Railway Company, since its late amalgamation with the Lond on an d C roy d on Railway Company has united their interests together. " It was to be expected, that the advantages to be derived from this fusion o f in t eres t s , i n the reduced expenditure of working the t ra ffi c , cou ld not yet be proved; and more especially under the circumstances, that the development of the atmospheric pri nc ipl e ma y be considered as having been incomplete, rendering necessary on the Croydon line the double expensa of locomotive and atmospheric means for the purpose of accommodating one traffic. Your directors have had their especial attention directed to the atmospheric portion of this expenditure; and, from a desire to determine its ammint, and at the same time with a view of testing practically the value of the system, they proposed, and have, in fact, en tered into an arrangement with Mr. Samuda, for working the atmospheric, mode of traction upon a contract for a fixed sum, and a certain period, which will do away, for the future, Frith the necessity of a double wenditur9 1 . 4 camog . o-.it the Rivue oblect: ' • • ff "Your direct ors f ur th er ' ca ll your attention to the fact , that, in the cou rse o f th e l as t s i x months, you have nearly doubled the ext en t of n eT tra iQ; lc i v t ".; the Otiyelepruent your line.

It M a y abe satisfactory here to state, thatcontract batten upon your mks has been entered into for maintaining the permanent way on the main line, on terms which will insure a ve7y considerable redgctlen eipendititie under 'that The' gross revenue'for th`e six mohtha . ending 31st December, including the reserve of - ;;4., 0449 IT 2 WOrking . andothei expenses - ao 036 0 9 Leaving a disposable balance of .... £137 . ,22P 10 5 Which enables your tiirectors to recommend` a‘dieldend of 3i per cent. for the half-year, upon the consolidated stock of the company, and of 28s. upon the Fifth Shares, whereon 401. had been paid up to the 31st December. "In referente tp the lines in progress, the contractor for the Epsom Branch is under penalty to complete the same for opening by the 31it March n ex t. The Portsmouth Ex tensiou, by the report of Orir engineer, will be owed from Chichester to HairanCon'the lstlfareh; to' Coiham the Ist April, and finally to Portimouth it May next.

'Bill to `legalise this arrangement is before Parliament in the . 'present session. t` The Iforehaiu, tieymei , , and #ewhayen lines, are ex pected' to be Completed in the course of the summer. Your directors look forward with Much Confidence to the increased traffic which the two latter branches, in connexion with the Steam Packet Company, will bring upon our main line. " - Your directors have been compelled to enler late a large expenditpre during the past half year, for the improvement and etepiiien cif 'yeur works at Brighton t • and, further, In the increase of the working stock. Thee was rendered necessary in consequence of the great addition to the mileage; and while it is the desire of the directors to limit, as far as possible ; qll additions of this kind ; it is indispensable to your interests, amrtflet of the public, that nothing shonld be spared tp give fit 1 efficiency to this branch of their duties. ' With rftspact to the Kentish lines„ your directors believe that they have a case forilarliament tar superior to that of their opponents ; and although they thought it right to make all necessary preparations, they did not finally commit them selves to the present course, without having first tried every means in their power to effect such an arrangement with the South-Eastern Company as Would combine' the interests of the public with those of the proprietors. having failed in this attempt, they have ; et length, appealed to the county in support of their present schemes, and are happy to say that "A resolution will be sub mitted to the meetin g , for the ftahveoyuhr.ave received an almost unanimous concurrence in their converslen cif the ilith shares into stock. 4 resolution will also be submitted to the proprietors for raising the residue of the consolidated capital of the company, amounting to 807,5251. " Two vacancies have occurred in the direction, one of which has been filled up by the appointment of John Nix, Esq., pns pf the directors of the Portsmouth Direct Line; but it has not been deemed expedient to recommend that before a , Parliament, clsuse rliam ha e v n i t ng , forb been di t n h us e ceir o nt t ge h d e t r hi ne v a on n c u a em n c bo y fe r s a t h h o o ef u l ßt d hi el l b sb e nowfilledard .

The statement of accounts (of which the following is a seminary) to Ilst Pec., 1546, was then read to the meeting. TWoFlem. _ _ By amount received from various 50urce5....£5,012,680 13 3 EXPENDITURE.

The CITAIRMAN then proceeded:to say that, before he moved that this report be received and ado p ted, he would fel it his duty to make a few observations with reference to what had passed between themselves and another company. The pro prietors would be aware that within the last few days a meet ing had taken place between Mr. Schuster and himself on our side, and Mr. M'Gregor and two of his friends on the other. He (the Chairman) had entertained a hope a s tht ati this meeting would have led to a peaceable and factory termination. (The Chairman then proceeded to detail the result of the interview with the deputation from the South-Eastern Company in the same, or nearly the same, words as Mr. M`Grepor in the meeting of the South- Western Company , (for which see our yesterday's impression). Mr. Schuster, and he begged leave to retire, to consider the suggestions made to them, and they at on ce decliidedne, that that with respect to the rent for the use of the Brig should not be entertained for a moment. They, however, did propose some improvements up on the draft given in the first instance, which did not meet the requirements of the other parties, and the interviews ame to a termination without anything de fi nitely being ttled.) They still entertained every hope that some arrangement would be come to, but if such a consum mation could not be arrived at they had armed themselves for a contest in Par liament, and they thought that a Committee of the House would decide, as would the public, that the y gave to the coui:ity of Kent greater advantages than did their opponents for instance, they supplied the more important towns which the South-Eastern reached by branches with amain line, so convinced were they that their lines were better laid out for the accommodation of the public, that they were willing to leave the entire matter to the arbitration of the Board of Trade. He would leave them to draw their own conclusions from this statement, at the same time doing Mr. M'Gregor the justice to say that he expressed him se lf most anxious to come t o a p eaceful ter mination. It was ne ver t o o late to do a g ood thing; but one thing he could assu r e the proprieto rs, while honoured with his presen t position , nev negect the er duties he owed to them, r fail in furthering the interests of the Brighton Railway. t h a t he l would, o f su pporting a incurred in testing the atmospheric principle was much rftertaavberyy Mr.pro tcraocwteend,sainttdirtgh,e pinrowphriiceyhtthe expenditure de A peca line of steam-packets to the Continent was advocated by Captain Hotham, the following resolutions were put and car ried unanimously : i 1.

THE WRECK OF THE SPIIYNX STEAM-SLOOP. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 19.—The wind ever since last Saturday has been blowing strong from the S.W., with squalls of rain and thick weather. Nothing could lie outside the Wight, consequently Captain Austen, with the Echo, the African, and Monkey steamers, with the yard lighters, were obliged to get shelter inside the island in Yarmouth Roads. The vessels remained there to be ready to take advantage of any favour able change in the weather; but none occurred before the tides " took off." On Wednesday Lieut. Thompson with the Victory's men, returned to Portsmouth in the African. Cap tain Austin, Mr. Bellamy, and all the shipwrights and rig gers have this morning returned from Yarmouth. The lighter and yard vessels and steamers have also come up, and no further attempt will now be made. The Sphynx still re mains in the same state as formerly. It was a mistake that she was driven broadside on. She lies with her bow to the sea, and the recent spring tides, although the rollers come in heavily, have not further injured. Next springs are again spoken of as to another attempt to float her; but we think as the sea does not appear to injure her, that the next at tempt will be deferred till May, when there will be a better chance of fine weather. WOOLWICH, FEB. 19.—. The Undine steam•vessel (late the Ondine) has.been purchased by the Board of Admiralty for her Majesty's Government, and will be employed as a packet. le was naiige.ted to this port from Blackwall yesterday afternoon. - Her power is 106 horses, and her speed' was as certained on the recent trial to be 15 miles per hour. The Cyclops steam 9 Vessel was brought from Sheerness on Wednesday' to'Woolwich, to have her machinery thoroughly overhauled and repaired. The Kite steam-vessel was taken into the basin yesterday to have her engines 'put in, which will occupy-about two months, when she will be brought forward for commission. The Mastiff surveying -vessel, Commander Beecher, is in dock for the purpose of baring her bottom examined, and will be ready to leave this port to resume her duties, about. the end of March. The Terrible steam-frigate, Lieutenant Murray command ing, has a number of hands put upon her, to be made ready for rervice with all dispatch, and she will be completed in about three weeks. The Odin steam-frigate, Captain Williams, of the Ampb ion, when she passed Woolwich yesterday afternoon from Dept ford for Greenhithe and Ireland, had 367 tons of meal on board. Her ports and scuttles have been caulked, being near the water owing to the depth of immersion, although she had not any of her, zuns, shots, shells, or powder on board, and only a small supply of stores and provisions with twenty-eight tons of water on board for her crew. The Odin is a sister ship to the Sidon steam-frigate, and appears as much too deep in the water as the latter was light when she left Woolwich. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley, left Woolwich this morning for Liverpool. Vessels in the Harbour—William and Mary yacht, Am phion steam-frigate, Black Eagle, Minx, Teazer, and Cyclops steam-vessels, and Woodlark surveying -vessel. In the Basins—The Gorgon, Dwarf, Kite, Niger, Charon, Ariel steam-vessels, and Terrible steam-frigate. In the Docks—The Vixen steam-vessel, and Mastiff sur veying- vessel. CuATtram, FEB. 19.—The Antelope, one of the three steam-packets for the lonian Isles, arrived from Woolwich on Saturday, and is forthwith to be fitted for service. She is now lying alongside the sheer hulk. . . The Arab,l6-gun brig, building, is nearly ready for launch ing, and is ordered to be fitted for service at sea ' • therefore the principal fittings will be com pl e t e d b e f ore she leaves the slip. The Rochester, Sedgwick master, sailed on the 18th with stores for Sheerness-yard. A new steam-packet for the Dover station, to be named the Vivid, is ordered to be constructed on the design of Mr. 0. W. Lang, master shipwright's assistant of this yard. It is understood that the Shannon steam-vessel is to be appropriated to the use of this port, instead of the Fearless at Sheerness, for a voyage to Gibraltar. Oning to the crowded state of the barracks at Chatham, and the unusually large number of recruits that are daily arriving from different parts of England, Ireland, and Scot land, it has been found necessary to remove 700 men to the artillery barracks at Brompton. The garrison contains 35 depots, the whole, with the exception of the 2d battalion of the 60th Rifles, form the provisional battalion, and contain ing nearly 4,000 men. This month 500 recruits have joined, and on Thursday a number of young men from the Dublin district arrived for the battalion.

PROVISIONS FOR InELAND, PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 19.—As there are not any men of war, of small tonnage, at this port, which can be made available to take meal over to Ireland, the Admiralty have directed that vessels shall be hired for the purpose, and Mr. Davis, the master-attendant of the Clarence Victualling Yard, has been endeavouring, at Portsmouth, or Southampton, to take up tonnage, of small craft, capable of stowing some thousands of bags of meal for conveyance to Ireland. One vessel is to proceed to Clifden, county Galway, as soon as loaded, and another to Dublin, in charge of Government officers. The Dauntless is taking in stores, &c., for her crew, and goes to Tobermory, in Scot land, directly she is filled with meal; and a small vessel is also to be hired here, to be loaded with provisions to accom pany the Dauntless, and afterwards employed in distributing them on the small islands in the Hebrides and Orkneys, tinder the direction of the commissioner. MONTE VIDEO.—By the William Piele, which ar rived in the Mersey yesterday, we are put in possession of papers from that city to the 16th of December last, but they are entirely devoid of any news political or commercial. It was reported that Riveira was up to Uruguay with a force of 3,0J0 men. In commercial matters there was a stand still. Trade was dull, and very little business of any de scription doing. DREADFUL FIRE AND Loss OF THREE LIVES.— NEWTOWN, UONTGoatKRYSHIRE, -- Early on Wednesday s e h T e ec e n hd s out g onee thecooing of h t premise s e h in l o ea rn d in l g nn la , st an a d fire although b r o ke the North Wales Assurance Company was on the s p ot, under the Shropshire management of Mr. D. Thomas, Jun., the Company's Agent, and every exertion used to stop the progress of the flames, nearly the whole of the premises, together with the furni ture, &c., were consumed. We are grieved to add that Mr. Peplow, landlord of the inn, the ostler, and Mr. Ferry, malt star, of Clunton, near Bishop's Castle (the latter was staying there for the night), were all burnt to death. The furniture and stock were insured in the above-named fire-office, but the loss is considerably grsater than the amount for which they were insured.-- Shrewsbury Chronicle. APPREHENDED FEVER ON BOARD THE IRISH PRO VISION SQUADRON.—We are glad to state, with reference to a report which has prevailed, that the famine fever in Ire land had made its appearance on board her Majesty's ships on the coast, and to ascertain the truth of which report Dr. Lindsay, R.N., Deputy Inspector of Hospitals, was dis patched by the Government on Sund a y l ast to Ireland, that dispatches have been received in London from the naval Commander-in-Chief at Cork, assuring the authorities that a strict investigation has taken place, and there are not the slightest grounds for apprehending so direful a calamity. The crews of the ships are healthy, notwithstanding their incessant and arduous employment, night and day, in the humane task of conveying provisions to the distressed popu lation on tse coasts.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of February 19 ) SUGAR.—Te-day . an improvement took place in the value of nearly all descriptions of raw Sugar, the demand being active, and the quantity on offer not so large. There was a good desire shown to operate in all sorts of West India, and the rates offered were fullypial b to those of Friday last; but business was much checked the scanty supply at market, and only 130 hhds were SOII REFINED.—To- day further reduced rates were taken for Refined Goods. Bonded Crushed Sugar is with difficulty to be had under 36s for first quality. MAURITIUS.—Thin afternoon the the quantity of Mauritius Sugar offered at public sale was very large, and amounted to 11,387 bags and 125 casks, the chief part of which consisted of the better qualities of yellow. Refiners and grocers were desirous to operate, and the whole sold at a rise on Tuesday's rates of 6d to la per cwt. EAST lxma.—This afternoon 48; bags Bengal Sugar were offered at public sale, and sold at stiffer rates. Privately several parcels of all sorts of Bengal were sold, and, in most cases, at rather higher rates. Foastax.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar; and the chief operations in Java for the week are two floating cargoes of about 1,000 tons on account of the Dutch Trading Company, at 33s in bond, the buyers paying bond ing charges, and supposed to be taken for refining. To-day 190 cases of brown Bahia sold at 24s Gd. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind of Coffee; and privately the home trade operated with much caution. There are sellers of Native Ceylon of good ord. clean quality- at 41s to 42s per cwt. COCOA.—For British plantation further advanced rates being insisted upon, operated materially against business, and 259 bags of Trinidad at auction, were nearly all taken in at high prices. CORN.—Flour moved off slowly at Monday's rates. Oats were the turn lower. Rics.—To-day there was less desire evinced to operate in all descriptions of Rice by private contract; but in prices lit tle variation took place. At public sale 70 casks Carolina were sold. This afternoon tke large quantity of 1,350 boxes of Cassia Lignea was sold at 23 per cwt advance; first pile fetched 63s 6d to 655, second pile of good quality 60s to 60s 6d, third pile, low middling 55s 6d to 565, mouldy 55s 6d to 58s. spin/v.—The demand has been extremely limited for all descriPtions of Jamaica Rum this week, and holders are more inclined to sell, East India met with little attention, End proof Calcutta with certificate was offered at 3s 9d. For Leeward Island the demand has been •trifling., Demerara of strong quality is held for 5s 2d to 5s 6d, but little has been done. Brandy is not cheaper, but the demand has fallen off.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.--Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary, his Serene High ness Prince Frederick of Hesse and suite, honoured this ele gant plies of amusement last night with their presence. The boxes were filled with fashionable company, and the pit and gallery crowded. Bellini's beautiful opera aerie, Norma, commenced the performances; the singers were in excellent voice, and gave immense satisfaction. The beautiful duet in the second act was given in admirable style by Miss Anne Romer and Miss Bassano ; the former, by her sweet simpli city, won the hearts of all her hearers, whilst Miss Bassano gave a truly impressive feature to her portion. The Hem ming Family pleased the royal party excessively ; the grace and ease with which these talented artistes execute the dif ficult feats is truly wonderful ; we have seen nothing ap proaching them, excepting the Risley's, and it is difficult to say which would bear away the palm. The grand panto mime wound up the evening's entertainments; it was repre sented for the last time, but notwithstanding it has been per formed forty-seven nights, it seemed to delight the audience as much as the first week it was produced. The entire per formance reflected the highest credit on the taste and libe rality of the lessee. kali, OF AN ANCIENT HOUSE IN RATCLIFF.—On b T o h u u r r h s o d o a d y- o af f t ß er r n o oo ok n .

S.—DEARTH OF FOOD.—In this place, as io well as in all others, the want of provisions begins to be severely telt, and there is every appearance of things becoming worse, for, except in the case of the larger pro prietors, there are few agriculturists who will be able to draw their supplies of bread even from their own stock until next harvest. The majority of thQ.se are already compelled to purchase rye, and in larger preportions than would have happened bad not the potato crop failed. General relief committees have therefore been formed, and the States- General have themselves recommended the ministry to devise proper measures to meet the calamity, = WRECKS on the RIVER THAMES. Since Wednesday last the weather has been universally boisterous. Strong gales blowing from the west by south west have kept the Thames in a state more resembling an arm of the sea than a river, and the immense quantity of land water out bas caused it to overflow its boundaries in all directions. The damage effected was, however, Alfling compupd.witilittifdtKrAl,ayekl44 npon. the • , in * . that took place lietwaen-Tonr .and ' five o'clock y morning, it being then nearly high water. Barges were driven from their moorings, hundreds of sticks of timber drifted here and there, and the lashing of the waves threw down several embankments between Vauxhall and Putney bridges, and between Battersea and Putney no less than five sailing barges were sunk. In three cases the crews succeeded in reaching the shore in safety. In the fourth there was a very narrow escape of life ; and in the last case, the men having charge of the barge are believed to have been drowned, as nothing had been heard of them up to last evening. The two most serious occurrences were those of a sailing barge belonging to Mr. Mulcock, a lighter man and coal merchant, of Norwood, near Houslow, laden with coals, which went down off Cremorne-gardens, about five o'clock ; the master swam asho re , an d t h e ap prentice, who coud not swim, held on by one of the barge oars, trusting to the surge washing him ashore. Wh en nearly exhausted he w as pi c k e d up by Forsdyth, an appren tice to Wingate, a waterman at Battersea. Both he and his master were taken aboard a barge, where in a short time they recovered. At about half-past four o'clock, a sailing barge, having on board 70 tons of;coal, and belonging to Mr. Tharington, of Windsor, sunk in the channel off the Feathers, at Wandsworth. Several persons living at the water side were awakened by cries of " Help I help !" but we could not learn that any one put off. The cries for assistance ceased in a few minutes, and when daylight broke, all that was seen at the spot from whence the cries were supposed to proceed was the upper portion of the mast of a barge sticking out of the water. One of the barge oars, as alto a hitcher„ were found floating off the shore, and the missing oar is sup posed to be the same one seen floating in a perpendicular position through Battersea-bridge about six o'clock. As it would be impossible for an oa but too probable that ono to float in such a manner without a weight attached, it is of the unfortunate men belonging to the barge had clung to it and not released his hold. The hurricane has been almost as disastrous on land. In the nursery grounds around Clap ham, Balham-hill, and Battersea, immense mischief has been done .by the uprooting of shrubs, &c. And in Wimbledon, Richmond, and Bushy-park, many trees have been blown down, and some hundreds lopped of their branches. Great damage has also been sustained by the rare and valuable col lection of plants in Kew Uard(ns. sday, death The lying clang' iding a the hie Pro' r9oxi, D sos nen of 1 ..._ .
