RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EAST KENT. The half-yearly meeting was held at the London Tavrrn yesterday, Lord Sondes iu the chhir. The CHAIRMAN having sinaply moved the ado Lion of the report. Mr. LITSIIINGTON (deputy chairman) seconded the motion, and in doing so he said—My lord and gentlemen, in seconding the adoption of the report, I do not think it necessary for me to detain you, as the report itself so fully records the proceedings of the directors during the last three months. You will see from that report, from the bilance-shee, and the engineer's statement, that we have been doing, I can say truly, our utmost to expedite in every possible the operations of the contractors in order to accomplish the opening of the line. We have, however, been impeled at one or two points, as we have stated in the repert ; at ono point, near Rochester, by the state of the embankments, and at another point, near Sittingbourne, by some legal proceedings, which delayed us six weeks or so. We shall not be able, therefore, to open in September as we had expected, but we shall endeavour to open at the earl est possible period. The report refers to the proceedings which have taken place before Parlia ment, and which took place in consequence of the feeling generally expressed at the last and previous meetings by the directors and shareholde's of the company, in favour of the extension cf the East Kent line from Stroud, so as to give us an indepen dent access to London. We were unfortunate in the House of Commons. The committee gave an aml,ignous answer. The chairman said that they had reluctantly passed the preamble of the South- Eastern Bill, but that -at the same time they had exacted a kindly pledge from that company that they would, during the next session of Parliament, bring in some measure which would provide for a Wt st-end terminus in conjunction with the Da , t ford and Lewisham Extension. The bill which, in the report of the South-Eastern ' was called the Dartford and Lewisham Bill, and which was sa'd to have passed, was applicable only to a certain junction at Trowbridge ; all the other portions of the inPasure were rejected by the Lords, so that both companies were in much the same state as they were before they applied to Parliament. There has been a large expenditure of money on both sides. The South-Eastern has gained nothing, and all that we have gained is the recognition by the House of Lords of our right to compete with the south-Eastern, which Parliament deliberately sanctioned in 1855, with a view of securing access, by a direct inland route, from London to Dover. But these questions have been so of en discussed, that I need say no more about them. We shall abstain as much as possible from Parliamentary litigation ; but the objects we have been striving for are of the greatest public and national impor tance, and we ask you to give us the power to take, *Len the proper time arrives, such steps as in our judgment it may seem advisable for the interests of the company. It was undoubtedly the intention of Parliament that we should extend our line to Lou- don, when it sanctioned the line from Canterbury to Dover. The chairman of the South-Eastern m3eting yesterday, said they had " expended 11. millions of money iu providing railway accommo tion," but then that money was not spent for the advantage of the county of Kent ; and yet the Chairman of the South-Eastern urged the expendi ture of money as a reason why they should not have the opposition of new companies. But the Eest Kent is not a new company, it is the scheme which was originally proposed by the in habitants of the county, and which they have ever sir co desire 11 to see carried oat--a scheme, the na tional important) of which the South-Eastern thorns. lves have ever and over again admitted and promised to carry out, but have not done so. I cording) , second the adoption of the report, and I shall be happy to answer any questions which may be put to me. Mr. HARTRIDGE was understood to object to the extension of the line from Strood to London, as being in reality a " new" scheme. He wanted to know what was the nature of the difficulties hich bad been referred to ? Were the contrac to:s unable to complete the purchase of the penes aa• y lands ? What was the amount of debentures tLey were allowed to issue Sir R. W. CARDEN. —The act of Parliament de fines that. Mr. HARTRIDGE.—But it ought to have been in the. statemeirt of the assets and liabilities. Sir R. W. CARDEN. never saw it in such an account in my life. Mr. HARTRIDGE.—Then I have, and I am happy to inform you. A SHAREHOLDER.—Why they do not exist yet, and how could they be either in asset or in lia bility / A DIRECTOR.—The sum is 233,0001. Mr. HARTRIDGE wanted to know also how many al areholders had not paid their calls ? They not only ought to forfeit their shares, but also to have tI eir names stated for the benefit of the rest of tl e shareholders. Sir P. W. CARDEN—Certainly not. That is n ver done. They never publish the names of the parties. - Mr. HARTRIDGE—Nay, they do. Sir R. W. CARDEN—WeII, I never saw it. Mr. HARTRIDGE—Then I hope you will take my word for it. Sir R. W. CARDEN—Why neither the Gazette n( r any other paper would insert such a thing. Mr. HARTRIDGE then said it was of the utmost importance that the shareholders should know wliat the directors intended to do ; the report con fined itself to the past, and even if the past found it ( on venien t to overlook some matters, how would th y raise the necessary capital? At present it was impossible to_get people to take their ghat es, and the sooner they came to some arrangement with the South-Eastern the better. Well ; then, if they were disposed to continue an independent company let them inform the shareholders which course they intended to pursue. The opening they wt re most anxious about was that from Strood to Canterbury. Before he sat down he also wished to ask whether the five per cent. allowed by the contractors was likely to be long continued ? Mr. D. STARLING said there was no line to be built from Strood to London,' it was from Strood to Crays, and this appeared to him the vitality and prosperity of the Fast Kent line. It seemed to be received with some alarm, but to his mind it was of the utmost importance ; in fact, it was the. only thing which induced him to become a shareholder. When completed the line from Dover to the West end would Le a very valuable pieze of property. All they had to do was to construct sixteen miles of railway ; and, in fact, such were his hopes that he confidently expec ed 10 per cent. He objected to advertising the names of the parties who-had not paid their calla. It would have a very injurious effect. As to the contractors' five per cent ' they wa,i'd pay it w hil e t h e l i ne was i n progress but no lob ger. Mr. HARTRIDGE—Are you a director, sir ? Mr. STARLING--No, sir. Mr. HARTRIDGE—WeII, then, I asked my ques tion of the t oard. Mr. STARLING—I thought it would come better from me. - The SECRETARY said it would have been inad visable to have entered publicly into matters which were the subject of legal controversy. The difficulty to which allusion had leen made was now, how ever, settled. It arose from the vexatious inter ference of a gentleman through whose lands they had to pass, and who, it was thought, wished to obtain money from them. They had now, l ow- • ever, defeated him. With respect to thedehen• ter `-!s, they had power to issue to the extent of 23::,00D/. The arrangements of the directors for raiuirig capital had been such that neither the coa ti ar;tors nor the landowners had yet had to wait for a single instant for their money. The dir.!ctora had raised 150,0001. during the past half-year, and there as uo necessity wha•ever for tlr non-proprietors' c!-:inot,dency ; for gentlemen who bad overcome the tt_ jct.:cultic s through which the dirdaors had p-ssoo, 19 "3 Tint likely to succumb to any which would Prt - /Ably arise in the suture. It would, however, be host da rn , , 111 gin , , to give the honourable propri, , tor publicly hot ,e d I,r thefoirxileiutz means by which the directo-s to rake their money. As to the issue of last meeting that it was stated at the 2s ? csoi lee d n done to the ex entef 6,000& When thin oul.l not e a h little better he saw DO reason why the rde la i n ' der however, h s e iisued. Tly.y would not, h eme stock, without the :reissued as pre,- r -4Utt W I of the Eh % ri ho:r Jere. li'he report was then adopted. C 1. IZAINns moved a resolution auther'sinc, the dir~etors t , .) go on with the Pa rliame arY in tinch manner as they might think best for the -)rests of the company. STARLING sec Aided the motion, which, after few obser.-ati ns from Mr. Hartridge and oilers, wto agreed to. The DEpuTv-CHAIRAISN said, with respect to the deberitu• es that up to June 30, 32,400/. was placel,- but/ now the sum had r, ached 100,000/. Sit R. W. CARDEN moved a resolution empow,r-, in/-" the directors to deal with the forfeited shares as they thought proper. Sir J.- M. TYLDEN seconded the motion, and in a brief ipeech disclai me d a ll id ea o f b e ing an oPP aition company to the South-Eastern. The resolution was then put and agreed to. Mr. DENT asked whether Mr. Qoleschild was pow 014aver.had been a shareholder of the company ? The SECRETIL&Y replied in the negative. Mr. DENT said he hoped the pros would take a TWE S N, O"NMON, SAT URDAY note of that, as the contrary had been stated to be the case at the South-Eastern meeting. Sir J. TYLDEN said he heartily wished Mr, Coles~ child would take some of their shazeg, WELLS AND FAKENHAM. The half-yearly meeting of this company wag held on Tuesday at Fakenham, Mr. H. W. Keary in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. Hutt) read the report of the directors, which st ited that the line, stations, and works were completed, with the exception of the Wells Harbour branch, now in progress, and a tramway proposed to be constructed along the quay. The opening of the main line was now only delayed for the completion of a junction with the Eastern Counties and Norfolk railways at Fakenham, and the necessary arrangements for station accommo ' dation there and for working the line. Negotia tions were being actively carried on to effect these objects. The accounts showed that 73,8091. had been re ceived, and 71,5971. expended, leaving a balance of 2,2111. WARRINGTON AND STOCKPORT. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at Warrington, Mr. W. C. Fos berg in the chair. The report which was adopted stated that the total expenditure was 285,936/ , in which was included 8,2501. forfeited to the Board of Trade, through the non-completion of the extension to Stockpor', and 3,500/. of accounts due. To meet the out ley the paid-up capital amounted to 169,510/. ; the loans on mortgage to 62,700/. ; loans by the directors, 15,000/. ; other loans, 23,969/. ; leaving a balance of 14,806/. to be provided for by new loans. The directors intended to apply to Parlia ment for powers to raise 33,786/., winch, with un issued stock amounting to 20,4901., would legally provide for all unsecured loans and liabilities at present existing. The revenue account showed an income of 6,224/. for the half-year against 3,841/. for the pre vious half year, leaving a profit of 525/., after pay ing all interest upon loans, mortgages, &c., and various arrears of ground rent. The 525/. bad been used in reduction of a deficit of 850/. on the previous half-year. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. IPSWICII RACES-FRIDAY.

Jean Baptists Vavaseur, a tall and r ! spectably dressed foreigner, wi' h black whiskers and mous taphes and gray hair, described on the police sheet as a coram;ssion agent, carrying on business at 22, Harp-lane, Tower-street, was placed at the bar be fore Alderman Hale, charged with conspiring with a man named . Riviere to obtain six pieces of alpaca, value 241., and other goods to a lirge amount,' with intent to defraud Messrs. Milligan Son, and Co., stuff merchants, of Newgate-stre e t, London, and Bradford, in Yorkshire. Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the prosecution, and said the charge against the prisoner was for conspiring with otherpersons not in custody to de fraud Messrs. Milligan of a large quantity of goods, a portion of which were obtained, and immediately after disposed of to a pawnbroker, whose name the prisoner had given as one of his referees. Alfred Dowson said—l am in the employ of Messrs. Milligan and Son, of 38, Newgate street. The prisoner came to our warehouse on Teesday - morning last, and said he wanted some goods to send off to Belgium. He selected 14 pieces of black alpaca lustre, value 491., and asked me if our terms were one month's creit. I told him they were for cash. He did not take any goods with him then, but on the fol lowing morning a person of the name of Riviera came from the prisoner for the goods. I told him I could not send them then, and asked him how I much he wanted, upon which he said he would go back and inquire of the prisoner. Witness—The prisoner came again yeAerdly afternoon about three o'clock, but having received instructions-how to act, I locked the door, and put the key in my pocket, and then showed the pri soner a large quantity of goods with ihe view to de tain him until one of the principals came in. Mr. George Davis, an. auctioneer and estate agent, of 6, Little Newport-street, said, on Satur day last the prisoner cane to me and said he had bought a large quantity of goods for b lls of ex change, and that he should Want advances upon them ; and on Wednesday last he came again in a cab, and said a friend of his, named Riviere, who was waiting in the cab, had six pieces of alpaca, upon which he wanted an advance of 161. or 171. I toll him I could not make any advance upon . them, and offered to take him to At t'nborongh's, in Greek-street ; Soho. We accord ingly went there in the cab, and I saw the prisoner carry the six pieces of alpaca froin the cab into At tenborough's shop, where he obtained an advance of 141., and, after paying the cabman, the prisoner walked away with Riviere. I asked the prisoner if it was an upright transaction, and he said the goods had been purchased for bills, arid offered to show me the invoices. Alderman Hale—What is the value of the six delivered pieces a t 2 alpaca 2, ? ' Mr. Lewis—About 241. s i r , an d th e y were pledged for 141. within t w o h ours a ft er th e y were Harp-lane.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Sheffield yesterday ; Dr. Dymond in the chair. The directors' report, of which an abstract ap peared. in the Times of Monday, was taken as read. The Chairman congratulated the shareholders on the steady increase of the traffic as shown in the accounts. The increase during the last half-year had been a', the rate of 24 per cent. The am , ,unt pail in dividends during the corresponding half year of 1856 upon the ordinary and preference stock was 11,3171., and the amount payable for the present half-year 15,5001., so that there was a con siderable increase in the gross amount. Mr. STANIFORTH said the increase of traffic had been satisfactory, but he was disappointed that the dividend should have fallen from 4 per cent. last to 2i per cent. this half-year, though the net traffic receipts were about the same. He complained that the working expenses were 54 per cent., while the maximum of well managed lines was from 40 to 45. Mr. Webb's Eardrop, by Conyngham, 4 yrs, 83t bib (I. Hughes) 1 Mr. H. E.

For about six weeks past important alterations and improvements have been in progress on the grounds surrounding }lolyrood House, and, to some extent, within the Palace itself; in order to bring both more into snformity with modern ideas of the requirements of an occasional ro al residence. It is understood that her Ma jesty's principal objection to making any lengthened so journ at Hulyrood arose from the absence of all means of grounds attached to the Palace, and priitiveaacnyZyitahoicn the esb she had to endure from being stared at, as soon as she appearPd In the garden, by every pas serger, as well as by the crowds who assembled round the railings and in the Falk fur the express purpose of watching her motions. The principal improvement will consist in restoring to the private precincts of the Palace a large portion of the demesne anciently pertaining to it. Tire whole o f t h e grounds on the north side, known as Queen Mary's Garden, and the corresponding space to the south, occupied by St. Ann's.yard, Miss Mil ler's houses, recently acquired by Gov a er dn' andnernent, ar a e djo ul in t ing the course of being enclosed, and laid out as pleasure -grounds. O n t h e nor th ern side, the massive and elegant iron railing, which constituted the former c'renmscribed boundary, runs from the corner. of Queen Mary's wing to the gate erected towards tee North Back of Canoneate at the visit of Geotge IV. to this city in 1822. From this point, a wall eight feet high is carried round by Croft-an-Righ, and passes behind the Palace twenty-five feet to the east of the former boundary, running down nearly to the new carriage-way in the Park, and then westward until it is mat at the south-west corner of the enclosure by the other division of the ornamental railing, proceeding from the more modern wing of the palace. Within this enclesure the ground has been lowered about four feet, so that per:oris walking through the gardens will be visible to those outside fern all pouts, except, of coulees, the hill side at a considerable distance, and even from it the view will be intercepted by trees and a serribt2ry. Twenty-five feet from the wa'l to the inside, however, a grassy t , irrace rises to within three feet of the top, and will be crowned by a graveled or turf covered walk twelve feet broad, running round the whole cir cumference of the wall. By this contrivance, the Royal residents may at pleasure command a view of the park and city from almost every point, or may ram: le about the grounds wholly secluded from observation. A serpentine carriage way, entering from the Regent road by George I V.'s Gate w It also traverse the grounds, passing behind the Abbey alai Palace, and, after several will have its exit by another gate at the south; nearly opposite the commencement of he Radical-road, and leading directly to the Qieen's Drive, Sir Benjamin Hell is expected in B linburgh o n Thurs day (the day before her Majesty's arrival) to inspect the works, and give instructions for further improvements; and various details, as to the disposal of trees, the laying out of' the grouride, &e., are left until her Mejesty, after a personal inspection, shall as eke known her wishes respecting them. l_lovzaTismilNr.l—The great injury inflicted ou many in valids by drugs increases the interest the public take in Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, which cures without medicine indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liVer complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility.

IMPORTANT CAUTION against the fearful dangers of spurious imitations : —The 'Tee-Chancel lor Sir William Page Wood granted an Injunction on the ; 10th March, 1851, aga i ns t Alfred Hooper Nevid, for imitating -Wit carry's Revalenta Arabica -Food."• The prosecutrix stated that she had lived with the prisoner for three or four month 4, and had supported hiai until compelled by his ill-usage to part from him. She had since gone to lodge in Lincoln-court, Drury-lane, and was returning home by Clare-court, at about eight o'clock on Thursday night, when she was suddenly stabbed. Two' witneFsas, H. Lea, dairyman, of Clare-court, and Charles Hesley, a printer, deposed to having seen the prisoner's violent attack upon the woman. He got the knife out of his hands, but he swore that he would do for her yet. Neither the pro secutrix nor the prisoner were drunk. The prisoner said the woman's goings on had driven him to such a pitch that he cound not con trol himself, and he meant at the time to kill her. She had spent money of his and pawned his clothes, and he been driven to the workhouse in conse quence. Mr. Henry committed him for trial. CLERKENWELL.—ROBBERY. —Andre w To rry and G.

THE ENGLISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders held in Liverpool yesterday for the purpose of winding up the company under the provisions of the Joint Stock. Company's Act ; Mr. Crosby oc cupying the chair. The CHAIRMAN explained that the resolution which was about to be submitted bad already been unanimously adopted .at a numerously attended meeting of the shareholders under an Act which was then imperfect. A supplemental Act bad been passed this session, and it therefore became neces sary that the resolution they bad previously carried should be again come to. Mr. PARKER then moved, and Mr. JONES se conded the following resolution. " That the Eiglish and Irish Magnat:c Company be wound•up voluntarily wider the provisions of the Joint. stock Companies Act 1856.57." [The affairs of this company and of the British Company have been merged into One company called " The Magnetic Telegraph Company."] Mr. T. D. HORNBY moved the adjournment of the meeting. Mr. CONNELL seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN said the directors bad c)me to the determination that whatever the arrangement was between them and the patentees it should be carried out honourably, fully, and fairly. The amendment was lost, and the original mo tion carried by 14 to 3. The CHAIRMAN stated that the income for the quarter ending the 31st of March last was 15,2001., in round numbers, and their expenses 8,8001., leaving a net profit of 6,400/. ; in the quarter end ing the 30th of June their income was 19,3801., and their expenses 10,4081., leaving a net profit of 8,8701. against 6,4001. on the previous quarter ; so that their income for the half-year was 34,0001. and their expenses 18,0001., leaving a net profit of 15,4001., which had given to the English and Irish company 5 per cent., and to the British 4 per cent. as arranged, after paying interest on pre ference shares, &c., leaving 1,0301. as a reserve fund for the next half-year. He did not pledge himself to any promise, but had no doubt that their dividend for the current half-year would be 6 per cent., and ofthe British 5 per cent., with a further surplus added to profit. (Cheers.) This terminated the proceedings, and the meet ing separated. - - GEELONG AND I3ALLARAT RAILWAY. S. J. Cooke, Esq., Managing Agent of the Gee long and Melbourne Company, writing to a con temporary, says : "Sir,—Refering t o several , notices which have appeared in your journal and other daily. papers within the last nine months respecting the Geelong and Ballarat Railway Com pany, recently formed in London, and which, by a meeting of its shareholders yesterday was Unani mously resolved to be wound up, I beg to offer a few remarks for the satisfaction of those persons interested in the ult;mat3 extension of the Geelong and Melbourne Railway from Geelong to Ballarat. The colonial parliament has yet to determine the system by which the main trunk Fnes of the colony are to l‘e provided, and the large expendi ture which has been incurred by the administration, under a vote of the all governm?nt, fer general surveys, estimates, plant, and rolling stock, has rendered it necessary to oJtain the sanction of the present legislature before the works of the. Ge-long and Ballarat line can be commenced. For this purpose two bills were, by the latest advices, to ba ;introclleed into the Legislative As sembly, one "for raising a loan," tho other "for construct'on and management of railways." It is, however, still doubtful whether the colonial Parliament may not rzverse their former declared policy in reftr4te to the government scheme, in which case t'le Gee.lon,g and .13allate, as well as other trunk li nes, w , ll - iu all probability be thrown open to priva' e enterprise, with a minimum interest puc has been gu i t t ra w n i t l e l e b l e Ou r e t frequently cautionedd—against subscribing to Aus tralian projects ,without authority from the local government or a propcily constituted colonial com mittee, and there is no doubt Whatever that the execution of such works,. if committed to companies at all, will in all case 3 be conceded to the co l on i s t s k' alone the actual in the first inst4lnfe, . . ~horn •re quirement'colonies can be accurately known, of the furnished. and reliable estimates HEREFORD RACES-FRIDAY.
