45,7191. 64., as against the nun of 46,1791. 16s. 114. for the
coerespooding half-year ending 30th Juno, 1862 ; a decrease
on the receipts amaantag to the slim of 420 i. 10a Ild., has,
therefore, takes place. The balance available for dividend,
as shown by the accounts', only amounts to 7701. 9e. 5d.,
and the directors, therefore, regret that they do not feel
themselves in a position to recommend the payment of
any dividend on the present occasion. This sum will be
added to the Wanes of 4,9781. 16e. 3d. in favour of re-
venue et the end of the preceding half year, making a
total of 5,748/. lfie. Bd., and will be divisible amongst

corresponding period of 1862. The proportion of the
South Junction receipts accruing to this company from

WAT.—This ordinary half-year y meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the Euston Station. Mr. Henry
Tootal in the chair. Mr. Mansell, the secretary, having
read the report, which him already beau published, the
chairman, in moving its adoptieo, congratulated the 'Wins-
holders upon the position of the undertaking. The traffic
was increasingly progressive, and all circumstances tended to
show the stability of the line. The workings expenses had
been slightly increased from the necessity for placing the
permanent way under repairs, it hark.' bean in constant use
for nearly twelve years, and there had been some special
expenditure in enlarging the station accommodation at Ac-
ton, ;blowing two bridges over the Great Western line,
and erecting additional signals at the junction, but he
thought the money had been well laid out, as all chances of
accident were much lessened by the alterations. Having
referred at some length to minas items in the accounts,
he concluded by expreasing his entire satisfaction at the
result of the working operations of the line for the past
half-year, by which the directors were enabled to pay a
dividend of 5 per cent. fairly out of the earnings, more than
many lines with much greater pretensions were capable of
doing. Mr. Mangles seconded the adoption of the report,
which after a brief 4:Damsons was agreed to ; and a divi-
dend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was declared
payable on the 28th last.

DRESDEN, Aoauer 25.

TheDrewkiierJourna/ of today mays that telegrams
have been received from Frankfort, denying that
the King of Saxony had summoned the Crown
Prince, but stating that an agreement of the Con-
gress upon the composition of the Directorate
might be considered as certain.
The assertion that the Congress will close on
Thursday is premature.

BERLIN, Ammer 25.

The Nationa/Zeilung of today publishes a letter,
dated the 24th, from its Frankfort special cor-
respondent, stating that the 3rd article of the Aus-
trian project of reform, relating to the Directorate,
has been adopted with modifications.
The Directorate will consist of six members,
Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria, having each one
vote ; Saxony, Hanover, andWartemberg, together,
will have the fourth vote in turn ; Electoral Here
and the seven Grand Duchies will choose the fifth
member ; and the remaining German States will
elect the sixth.

As regards the sth article of the project, re-
lating to the Presidency of the Directorate, it was
proposed that Austria and Prussia should preside
alternately, but decided to leave those two great
powers to oome to a mutual understanding.
The 6th article, establishing the general prin-
ciples of the privileges of the Directorate and
Federal Council was adopted.
Baden has entered a protest, pointing out that
the acceptance of the Austrian propositions as fit
bases of reform, amounts to a binding engagement
to interpret important points in the sense laid
down by Austria.
Articles 8, 13, 14, 16, and 18 were to be taken
into consideration on the following day.

STRATFORD-ON-AVON RAILWAY.

The report of the directors states that the amount
payable to the Great Western Railway Company, in respect
of uncompleted weeks, ►nd the cost of the lunatics and
sidinp at Hatton has been arranged, and charged I. the
accounts for the peat half-year. All other amounts now
due on account of construction, which can be ascertained,
have also been included, and the directors consider that
500/. will be amply sufficient to meet any future claims,
until the time arrives for making the fork line at Hance
(whenever the receipts from tralbc amount to 25f. per
mile per neck), and the completion of the purchase
from the corporation of Stratford•on-Avon of hod,
taken for the purpo a of forming the junction of
Stratford-cm-Avon with the West Midland Railway. In
the amount of 5004 abovs•meotioned is included a portion
of the coat of a telegraph between Hatton and Stratford-
on-Avon, which is now nece•ry to enable the Great
Western Company properly to conduct the traffic: two-
thuds of the out have to be defrayed by the Stratford-on-
Avon Company and one-third by the Great Western
Company, and the whole of the receipts analog from
messages sent by the public are to be pieced to the credit
of the Stratford-on-Avon Company. At the termination
of the working arrangement the Stratford-on-Avon Com-
pany will bare to pay the amount advanced by the Great
Western Company, that company maintaining the tele-
graph. The supplemental agreement with the Great
Western Company has been completed, and it is satisfactoorryy
to report that the increase of traffic during the past ha-
year lose principally arisen from through traffic brought
upon the line u contemplated by such agreement. The
amalg►mation of the Great Western and West Midland
Companies has been sanctioned by Parliament, and takes
effect from the let of the prosiest month, and at the
same time the agreements (which have also been
sanctioned by Parliament) between those amalgamated
companies and the Midland and London and North•Wes-
j tern Companies come into operation. By these agree-
meats routes for traffic h►ve been defined, sad sidings and
junctions are to be made at Leamington, Banbury, and
Oxford ; and the directors feel assured that from the
natural position of your railway, and the lines tot railway
on either aide being under ou system of management, •
further increase of traffic, arising from the stations on the
amalgamated system of the Great Western Railway, as well
as to and from the east and west. may be fairly relied upon.
On reference to the accounts sad the comparative statement
of traffic, interest., and expellees. it will be sees that there
has been an increase in the traffic of 417 f., and • set in-
crease of 169 f. upon the past half-year as compared with the
correspoodieg half year of 1862. The balsams to the credit
of the revenue, after paving all charges, amounts to 3751.
9s. 3d., which would permit of • dividend being declared at
the rate of 2s. 3d. per share on the ordinary shares • but the
directors recommend that the declaration of a dividend may
be postponed until the next half-yearly meeting.

THE EMPEROR OF MEXICO.

The Vienna Ptvise says :

With regard to the acceptance by the Archduke Maxi-
milian of the throne of Mexico, we are informed, on good
authority, that the Archduke is personally inclined to accept
the crown, and that he confidently believes the negotiations
on foot will lead to practical results. It seems that be is
already occupied in making arrangement' in regard to the
persons who are to accompany him, and that he
confidentially spoken to several persons on this
subject. But we are informed from the name source
that the Emperor is leas favourable to the acceptance, and
that he has distinctly notified to his brother that he must
not calculate on the support of Austria In ease of any diffi-
culty arising out of the affair. Notwithstanding this decla-
ration on the part of the Emperor, the Archduke has
resolved to accept the crown.

SERIOUS NEWS FOR TH'A WRENCH

FROM MRXICQ:

Our Paris correspondent, wr;Aing late last even-
ing, says I learn from t h ority which I im-
plicitly rely upon, that the government has
received most embarrass:mg news from Mexico.
General Forey despairs .of taking Puebla without a
much larger army than the one which he at present
commands. He says the fortifications are very
strong, and have been much improved of late. He
could get round Puebla and march upon Mexico,
but would not answer for the result of that measure.
He testifies gnat the universal feeling of the popula-
tion is moist hostile to the French, and that the
government of Juarez, whatever may be its faults,
is the best that Mexico has had for a long time.
In conclusion he recommends his government
either to send very large reinforcements or to take
the earliest opportunity of getting out of the
business. From another source I learn that the
Emperor tells General Forey that, in the present
state of Europe, he cannot spare more troops for
Mexico."

ACCIDENT ON THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY

Yesterday evening an accident, which, though of
an alarming character, was happily unattended with loss of
hie, occurred upon the Metropolitan Railway, within a very
short distance of the Farringdonstreet Terminus. At that
end of this line there is only one platform for arrivals and
departures, and this neceesitateethe employmeat of a points-
man to work the train leaving the station on to its proper
line. It appears that yesterday evening, upon the 7 p.m.
" down" train leaving Farringdon-street, the pointsinan by

some mistake turned it oo to the " up" line, and it had
scarcely reached the entrance to the first Mei when it
came into collision with the 6.45 " up" trek from Padding.
ton. The shock was violent ; passengers were thrown
from their seats, and the greatest alarm and confusion pre-
vailed, but it was soon discovered that no fatal, and but
very few severe, injuries had been sustained. The driver of
the " down " train, as soon as he discovered that he was
upon the wrong line, shut off his steam, and took measures
to stop the engine, which had not had time to attain its
speed, and as the "up" train was nearing the station its
speed had also been slackened. The consequence of this
was that when the two trains met, though the collision was
of sufficient force to bend the buffers and buffer boards of
the carriages, it was not sufficient to damage them in any
other way or to throw them over, and the injuries to
the passengers were confined therefore almost exclusively to
cuts, contusions, and bruises. The only mess of really
severe injury, so far as we scald learn, were the following :
Mr. Best, collector to the Royal Hospital for Incurables,
was much bruised, and wthstill lastnight in a very lowstate ;
Mrs. Charlotte Shortland was also severely bruised ; a gentle-
men,
who received a compound fracture of thence.; and the
gaud of one of the trains received a severs cut on the temple.
Immediately after the accident the ptheengers jumped out
of both trains, and meet of those who were injured were able
to reach the platform without assistance. Mr. Tanner, the
chief superintendent of the line, was immediately tele.
graphed for from Paddington, and Mr. Adys, the station
master at the Farringdon Station, lost no time in sending
home in cabs those of the injured passengers who wen in a
fit state to be removed. There were in all about twenty-five
persons hurt, of whom five or six were able at once to go to
their homes, and the remainder were in every case con-
' veyed to their homes after having their wounds attended
to by Mr. Browne, surgeon, of Kensal-green, who hap-
pened to be travelling in one of the trains which came into
collision, and Mr. 0. Monday and Mr. C. A. Monday, of
Snow-hill. None of the injuries are reported as of a dan-
gerous character.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

The Danis and Siede of to-day, mentioning the
fact that 30,000 Russians have just crossed into
Poland through the Prussian territory, and that
those who have been put to flight by the insur-
gents have been re-armed by the Prussian authori-
ties and sent back, call upon England and France
to interpose.

The liberal journals of Prussia protest against
the conduct of their government in this matter.
"The Prussian Chamber," says the Cologne aurae,
"will not give a crown for this object, and we need
not say what are the sentiments of the country.
Theoonntrydemands that a mod rigorous neutrality
be observed towards Poland, and that it be remem-
bered that a constitution has no other object than
to prevent a people from being governed contrary to
its own wilL "

Austria continues to preserve an impassive and
almost indifferent attitude. The cabinet of Vienna
are resolved, it is said, to adhere only to the con-
ventions already in existence. The Austrian jour-
nals declare that Prussia has flagrantly violated the
laws of neutrality.
The Poles hope much, it is stated in letters from
Warsaw, from a revolution in Russia.
A letter from Heidelberg (Grand Duchy of
Bavaria), in the Swabian Mercury, states that the
greater part of the Polish students at the university
of that town have disappeared since the late events.
The same has taken place at the university of
Berlin.
