P., the chairman, who opened his speech by giving a short history of the operations of the company since its formation, and also of the revised plan upon which the directors, in conjunction with the Government, purpose in future to conduct the services of the steam-packets. He had, he said, every reason to hope that the reduced scale of operations which the plan, lately circulated to the public through the medium of the press, exhibited would be so re gulated as to secure the patronage of the trade with which they were identified, and firmly establish the line of commu nication sought to be matured. The directors had bad great difficulties to contend with, from the disappointment oc casioned by the non-performance of the voyages in the spe cified time, and also from the opinion which had gone forth respecting the management of the affairs of the company. On this subject. lie could only say one thing—the directors, with himself, were prepared for the fullest investigation, but , he hoped some indulgence would be granted them for the manifold difficulties they had had to encounter, and if this were conceded, and party prejudices were not allowed to overreach reason, he should rest satisfied, that when the shareholders heard the report, which it would now be the duty of the secretary to read to them, they would not find the position of the company in that state of disorganization which they had been led to anticipate was in reality the case. Captain D. Chappell, R.N. (the Secretary), read the re— port, which was as follows : " REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY TO THE PROPRIETORS ASSEMBLED AT THE FIRST GENERAL MEETING, HELD AT THE LONDON TAVERN, THE 21ST OF SEPTEMHER, 1842 " The directors have delayed ca:ling the proprietors toge ther till the present time, because, although at the time the company was established it was contemplated that the ser vice contracted for with her Majesty's Government would • have been commenced in the year 18-U, so as to have made it desirable to have a meeting of proprietors in that year, yet as the service was not commenced, in consequence of un avoidable delays till January, 1842, the directors had nothing to communicate to the proprietors in the previous year which could render a meeting necessary ; and they considered, un der all the circumstances, that it was expedient to postpcn.e the meeting until they had some experience of the working of the undertaking. "As soon as the company was organized, the necessary contracts were entered into for the building and equipment of 14 steam-vessels, and as the directors were desirous that the company should have the best vessels and machinery that could be supplied, they invited competition from all parts of Great Britain. In the result, contracts were made for building four steam-vessels in the river Thames, the engines for which were contracted to be supplied by two of the most eminent engineers in the metropolis, seven vessels were con tracted for with builders in Scotland, where the engines for six of them were also constructed, the engines for the other vessel being made by an engineer of Liverpool, who also sup plied the engines for a vessel built at Cowes, and the remain ing two vessels with their engines were contracted for at Bristol. _ " In spite of every possible exertion on the part of the company, it was found impracticable to get a sufficent num ber of these steamers in readiness to commence the service before the end of the year 1841. The two vessels, however, contracted for at Bistol, were not in a state of readiness, and it appeared to be so uncertain when they would be completed, that the directors considered it important not longer to delay the commencement of the service, and therefore purchased two smaller steam-vessels, which it was arranged should take the place of the two Bristol steamers until they should be in readiness, and the service was at length commenced on the Ist of January, 1842. _ " In the original contract, Samana, a safe and commodious harbour in tile eastern portion of St. Domingo, was fixed up on as the principal pivot of the combination and the point of departure for Europe with the return mails; the Haytain Government, however, notwithstanding an application from her Majesty's Government, would not admit foreign vessels into that port, and a new combination became necessary. After some consideration and discussion, a modification of the plan was arranged with her Majesty's Government, and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, who by the con tract have power from time to time to vary the route of all or any of the steam and sailing vessels employed in the per formance of the contract, signified their assent to its trial ex perimentally for six months. " It has been a source of great regret to the directors that the service at its commencement was not performed with the regularity that could have been wished. This may be con sidered in a great measure as incidental to the commence ment of a new, extensive, and complicated undertaking ; but arose partly from an undue interference exercised by the authorities at some of the foreign ports. Arrangements were, however, made to obviate such difficulties, and latterly the ships have performed their respective services with regularity, and have satisfied the directors that they are well adapted for the work they have to perform. " The directors regret that after a few months' trial it ap peared that in the anxiety to embrace a large field for secur ing the benefit of the most extensive passenger-traffic, and to provide for the convenience and accommodation of the colonies generally, more had been undertaken than could be properly accomplished by the number of steam-vessels con tracted for, and that the plan involved more expense than would be remunerated by the pay m e n t from Government for the mail service, and the return that could be expected from passengers, freight of money, &c. The - directors, in consequence, represented the circum stances to her Majesty's Government, who expressed a wil lingness to modify, the services contracted for in such a way as might make it remunerative to the company, provided the mail service between the colonies and Europe should be sa tisfactorily performed. After some discussion a new com bination was adjusted, and the Lords Commissioners of the . . Admiralty have signified their assent to its being tried expe rimentally for six months, from the Ist of October, without prejudice to the contract. combination at first acted upon involved a steam . service of 684,816 miles in the year, and though it was tried with 1-1 vessels, yet the directory became satisfied that it could not be performed with certainty without one, if not two more steam-vessels. The plan now to be employed in volves the employment of only 12 steam-vessels, and a steam service of only 392,976 miles in the year. The proprietors will, therefore, perceive that this is a very important im provement in the position of the company, the payment from the Gouernment continuing the same, and the directors trust and believe that the contraction of the work will not be attended with a corresponding .or any essential diminution of the income from passengers, freight of money, &c., whilst the expense of conducting the same will be reduced. " A: plan of the substituted service is before the meeting. " Ha . ving entered so far into the past proceedings and future prospects of the company, the directors will now call the attention of the proprietors to their financial position, and in doing this they are desirous that the proprietors should have fully before them all the information it is in their power to furnish as to the expenditure of the capital that has been raised, and the result of its operations up to the latest period to which the necessary returns can be obtained. " The capital of the company under the charter consists of 15,000 shares of £lOO each ; 14,840 have been subscribed, and upon which calls amounting to £5O per share have already been made, and the sum of £725,645 has been re ceived, leaving £16,355 in arrears, £9,000 of which is due upon shares which are the subject f litigation. Besides the £725,645 thus actually received from shareholders, the di rectors have found it necessary to raise by way of loan the further sum of £26,000 (expressions of surprise and a few hisses) ; and there still remains to be paid to builders and others, about the sum of £20,000 (expressions of surprise repeated), and they estimate the amount expended in the nature of capital at rather more than £1,000,000. (Cries of " Oh, oh !") " The statement marked ' A,' which will be submitted to the meeting, will show how this sum has been expended. " With the exception of the Medina, which was unfortu nately lost, and upon which £40,000 was insured, the whole of the assets appearing in this statement may be considered as available for the purposes of the company. " The next subject for consideration is the actual working of the undertaking from the Ist of January up to the 31st of August in the present year. " By the statement marked ' B,' which will be submitted to the meeting, it will appear that the cost for working for that period amountino. to £209,489, and that the e arn i ngs during that time were £214,296, namely,— Contract money to August 31 .. Passage money and freight received in this country .. . • • • .. 39,696 Ditto received in the colonies .. .. 12,000 Due by the Government for coals supplied 24,600 leaving a balance of only £6,807 towards providing for cost of insurance, wear and tear, and return on capital. " It will also be seen that the sum expended on account of capital exceeds the amount raised upon the shares by about £275,000, which latter sum it will be necessary to provide, and it is intended forthwith to make a call of £lO per share, by means of which and by the sale of such of the vessels as will not be required for the reduced service, the directors confidently hope that the undertaking can be satisfactorily carried out without making further calls upon the share- Z 160,000 holders. " Before the directors conclude their report it may be ex pected that they should express their opinion on the pros pects of the company under the plan of service which is to be experimentally tried, for six months, to commence on the Ist of October. The directors have already stated that the difference in distance is 291,810 miles, and the work will only require ten large and two small steamers, from -which it is obvious that there must be a great saving of expense. They may add that the expense of working the entire service under the old system would have amounted to upwards of X 360,000 per annum, exclusive of insurance, wear and tear, and inter est on capital ; whilst the charge under the restricted system is estimated at about £235,000. The ultimate income must at all times be uncertain ; but the dir ec t or s are of opinion that their receipts from passage monies and freight, together with the £210,000 (which will be continued to be received from Government,) will be adequate for a dividend on the future operations of the company. " The directors further express their strong conviction that the new system will be worked with such regularity as to re commend the service to the favour of the Government and the public, and satisfy both of the i m p or t ance o f the under taking in a national point of view, in which case, should they be disappointed of gain, they would have g r ea t c onfidence in expecting the honourable consideration of the Government in support of those who have embarked their capital in an undertaking which will be then proved to be highly beneficial to the country." Captain CHAPPELL then read the following accounts, A and B, alluded to in the report The following is a statement of the Receipts and Expen diture of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company to the 31st of August, 1842, inclusive : " RECEIPTS Amount of capital paid up . . .

Montague seconded the proposition. After a few remarks from the Chairman, who assented to the proposition, again repeating the desire of the direction to accord with the wishes of the meeting, this resolution was put and unanimously carried. A long and desultory conversation followed, in which Mr. Liggins, Dr. Bowring, Mr. Montague, the Chairman, the Deputy-Chairman, Mr. Maynard, the solicitor to the com pany, and other shareholders, took part. It chiefly con cerned the code of by-laws, which it was contended exhibited many inconsistencies, and bore with much oppression on the class of shareholders who held below five shares, containing a provision stipulating their exclusion from all meetings. In answer to questions put by shareholders, The Chairman stated, that at present it was impossible to tell with any accuracy the position in which the co npany stood with respect to Messrs. Acraman, of Bristol. The vessels were registered in the name of the company, and the assignees had never attempted to dispute their right to them. (This latter statement elicited loud expressions of applause.) The meeting adjourned till Wednesday next at one o'clock p.m. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE (From the Times.) It is a remarkable fact, connected with the disasters re cently encountered by the British troops in South Africa, that the late ministry were distinctly forewarned by Sir B. D'Urban, then Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, of the consequences that would follow the orders given for the change of boundary. This fully appears from the official despatches of the ex-governor ' published among the papers relating to the Caffre war, laid before Parliament in 1837. But the whole question is so little understood by the British public that it may be useful previously to give some account of the events which have led to the expatriation of the Boers, and converted them from peaceful subjects and colonists into the bitter enemies of the English. These they have them selves set forth in a manifesto issued so far back as the 21st of February last, and addressed to Sir George Napier, the present Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. Their dissatisfaction arose in the first instance, from the losses to which they were subjected from the eman cipation of their slaves. They have complained also of the absence of laws for their protection, from the evils of uncontrolled vagrancy, and from the depredations of the swarm of vagabonds with which the colony is infested, but, above all, of the insecure state of the eastern frontier, and the inadequate protection afforded them by the English Government against the Caffres, by whose incursion their best farms had been laid waste and hundreds of them reduced to ruin. In their manifesto they declare that the Government first gave them the right of property in slaves, and afterwards deprived them of it, promising them full compensation, but putting them off with only one-third of the value to which they were entitled. They charge the government with employing them without remuneration in the defence of the frontier against the depre dations of the Caffres, and then denying them all compensa tion, on the ground that the boers, by their own encroach ments, had justly brought upon themselves the wrath of the aborigines. The cause of all the evils, including that of in sufficient protection, they allege to be the absence of a repre sentative government, which ought in justice to have been accorded them. Under all their sufferings, they say that they have behaved most peacefully. that they have not taken up arms, like the inhabitants of the Canadas, and that, having sold off their farms at low prices, and even notified to the government that they were going to leave its jurisdiction, they were allowed to depart. After their departure they de clared their independence, made war and pesce on their own account with the natives, negotiated for tracts of land and took possession of them, and all this time the colonial go vernment neither notified to them that they could not re lease themselves from their obligation as subjects, nor afford them any assistance when in danger from the native tribes. The latter, on the contrary, were most befriended by the go vernment, as the exportof ammunition which were requisite to the defence of the Boers was prohibited. For these reasons they declare that they cannot look upon themselves as rebels against their lawful Government, and express a strong doubt whether they would have been interfered with had they gone into the heart of Africa. With respect to their designs upon the Caffres, which were made the cause of military occupa tion by the Government forces, they state that their reasons for removing them are founded on true philanthfopy, since hostility and bloodshed would be the inevitable consequence if they allowed the Zoolahs and other nations to leave their old residences, and take up their abode among them in large numbers. Having become strong, they think the first act of the natives would be to exterminate them, to keep possession of their cattle. Hence their measures have been to ward off such dangers in time. As to the government taking posses sion of the territory acquired, they declare that such territory would then immediately become valueless to them, as they would be in the same state of insecurity as before. They say there is every reason to believe that the government only sympathizes with the uncivilized native, and that they (the Boers) might be butchered in their sleep, while the philan thropists of the day would invent accusations against the Boers to excuse the aggressions of the natives. The grievances of the farmers are thus pretty fully set forth, and the communication of Sir Benjamin D'Urban to the then Secretary of State shows that they were known to the government. He predicted an extensive abandonment of Albany and Somerset, on the ground that the farmers had considered themselves left without protection for several years previous to the Caffre war in 1834, and that they were much excited by the emancipation Act, but still he said they remained in the hope of some remedy of their grievances, and the war bad the temporary effect of allaying their discontent. The proclamation annexing the country between the Keiskamma and the Kye, had removed all thoughts of emigration for the time, and they waited in hopes of receiving additional compensa tion. But no sooner was it asserted that the change of boundary would not be confirmed by the government, than the disposition to emigrate revived ; and it was from observ ing the disposition that Sir Benjamin predicted that when they had once ascertained that the new province was to be renounced, they would again prepare to go away, and no legal power would restrain them against their will. These predictions have been accurately fulfilled, and the troubles that have resulted are now at their height. When such warnings had been given, and such results to have taken place, it is no wonder that the colonists accuse the Government of mismanagement to the most culpable degree. Of course, by these remarks it is not intended to take the part of the emigrants, whose justification for throwing off their allegiance from the Government is still far from a com plete one. UNITED STATES The packet-ship Cambridge, Captain Barstow, which sailed from New York on the Ist instant, arrived in the Mersey yesterday morning. She has brought news from New York and Washington one day later than that received by the steamer, the Britannia. The proceedings in Congress had been rather interesting. On the morning of Friday the 30th ult., the President sent a message to the House of Representatives with a notiffcation that he had approved and signed the Tariff Bill. He also sent another message with a protest against the Report on the Veto-Message made by Mr. Adams and adopted by the house. The President requested that the Protest be entered on the journals of the house. Mr. Adams excused himself from making any motion on the subject in consideration of the delicacy of his situation. Mr. Botts read to the house some extracts from a speech made by Mr. Webster in the Senate on resolutions toddling the protest of President Jackson, for which resolutions Mr. Tyler voted. These re solutions Mr. Botts now offered for adoption. They are to the effect that the'President has no right to make such a pro test, that his doing so is a breach of the privileges of the house, and that the clerk of the house be directed to return it. All the resolutions were agreed to, save that embodying the last sentence, to send the message hack, which was lost. The Loan Bill, reviving the Distribution Clause, omitted from the Tariff Bill, had passed the Congress and been sent to the President. It was expected that he would not notice it. No change had occurred in the Markets since our last. INDIA MAIL.—The departure from London of the next Indian mail, via Falmouth, will, it is said, be on Friday, the 30th instant, and that via Marseilles is fixed for Tuesday, the 4th of October. Accounts from Valencia, Spain, present a melancholy pic ture of the ravages committed over a part of that province by a hail storm on the 29th ult. Stones fell for 19 minutes, of unprecedented size and weight; some were pieces of ice weighing from 1 lb. to 8 lb. ! The entire harvest of rice, oil, wine, mulberies, oranges, pomegranates, and fruits of all kinds are destroyed, valued by the provincial authorities at 5,460,000 reals, above £51,600 sterling. BUENOS ArREs.--The Buenos Ayres papers of the 16th of July, allude to the escape of the Revistera squadron, seen off Martin Garcia, out of the reach of Admiral Brown, whose flag ship had got aground, and prevented his proceeding. The three vessels, it was expected, would take an uninter rupted course to the Parana, and there co-operate with the troops on its banks. The British Packet gives the particu lars of the interview of the new Brazilian envoy with Rosas, who had received that delegate with the hono u r necessar il y due to his character and station. A slight reaction in the quotation of the exchange would lead to th e suppos i t i on that business was not so brisk as it had been : the last quotation was 3d. per paper dollar. There were 61 vessels in port at the latest date. The Ausburg Gazette of the 15th instant has the following, under the head of Brussels :—" During the negotiations for the treaty of commerce between Belgi um an d F rance , two notes, one from the Prussian Cabin e t, th e ot h er f rom t h at o f England, were transmitted to the Belgian Government. The English note contained menaces; that of Prussia observed that the King of the Belgians and his Ministers would under stand too well the interest of their country to draw upon it the hostility of the rest of Europe by an exclusive adhesion to the interests of France, and the Prussian Government would see with pleasure the Belgian Government contributing to the modification of the Bel g i an d ut i es on t h e P russ i an frontier. The Belgian Government did not allow itself to be intimidated by the note of the British Government, and I re ferred acting in the sense of that of Prussia." . .., ~. ..? ..V = -; a -4 a. 4 -s ,,,4 .0. ~..,„ 2 . ). -s 6 ,3 .C) 0.) 4 -. .4 '6 C ( 8 C.) .....

July, 1828, to 14 years From the first of these tables it appears that, from the 28th of April (when the new scale came into operation) to the last week in August, a period of eighteen weeks, no less than 2,457,931 quarters of corn were entered for consumption, a! an average duty of Bs. 4d. per quarter, thus contributing to the revenue an aggre gate amount of £974,024, during these five months ! During the whole of this period the fluctuation in prices has been, without precedent, slight, ss. 6d. per quarter being the extreme variation during the entire period. In the last week too, after the admission of this vast quantity, it will be perceived that the average price of wheat remained nearly two shillings per quar ter higher than at the beginning of May. By the second table it appears that, in the previous 14 years, under the old scale, we imported, on an ave rage, one million quarters per annum, at an average duty of ss. 7d. per quarter, producing an average an nual duty of something less than £300,000, the annual importation being much less than one half, and the revenue produced less than one third of that derived during the past 18 weeks. Out of the total importa tions, however, amounting in the 14 years to 14,914,547 quarters, between nine and ten million quarters were imported in the last four years ; in 1833, the importa tion was only 1368 quarters; in 1834, 294; and in 1835, 141 quarters ! The extreme fluctuation in price has been in these fourteen years 31s. 4s. per quarter, the average in 1835 being 395. 4d.,. and in 1839, 70s. Bd. Upon these tables the London Times of Tuesday last has endeavoured to erect an argument in favour of a further modification of the Corn-laws--the total annihilation, in fact, of the principle of a sliding' scale, and the adoption of a low fixed duty. From the fact that in the face of a fair harvest—(the Times calla it " an abundant " one, which we can scarcely take to be its correct designation)—the average price, notwitlP standing our large importation, is still maintained at 61s. iod. in the beginning of September, our contem porary suggests that the protection afforded to the farmer by duties upon the importation of foreign corn is proved to have been greatly over-rated, and that be may dispense with that protection to a greater extent than at present, with ou t susta i n i ng i n j ury. O ur co n' ,temporary takes it for granted that importation has not reduced prices. Arguing upon the state of the aye' rages as shown upon the face of the above tables, be says, " the fact is most extraordinary—but hitherto such is the fact," that importation " has not produced the cheapness of corn, which might have been pre' dieted ;" and when we see that by reduction of duties an abundance of the staff of life has been placed within our reach, we are urged by the Times to " par' sue to its legitimate limits a course of so great pro' mise and open to so little objection." With all deference, however, to our contemporary , we must deny the correctness of his premises. It sd not true that corn has not been cheapened by the late extensive importations, although we admit that the reduction in price does not appear upon the face of the corn inspectors' returns. Free trade philosopher °, such as the Times, should know something of the sub ject upon which they write, before giving to the wor ld their crude conclusions ; and had the Times made th e inquiry from any intelligent factor in Mark-lane, or elsewhere, he would certainly not have ventured upon the extraordinary doctrines which he has founded uP° l2 , his want of conversance with the practical bearings 01 the question. Either the Times and its correspen den ! s have been agitating, for weeks past, for a reduction in the price of the loaf, which the baker and the d our dealer cannot afford, or the price of wheat has fall en ' a nd that considerably ; an d we s h ou ld lik e to hear th e Times explain, whether that agitation has been "II 59 0,14,914,547 4,164,800 5 7 1
