THE EXHIBITION AND ITS RESULTS.

From the 11441, News.

Now that the scene of excitement during the past
summer season is ended and the gathered products of
the wor'd's industry are being dispersed, the cui Bono
i
s demanded with increased urgency. Something
more tangible than prospective advantages to arise
from the intermingling of the people of different na-
tions is friendly rivalry is required. Tell us, ask
the sceptics, what the bxhibition has actually done
towards opening new markets for our goods, im-
proving or cheapening our manufactures, in bringing
to light new discoveries in science, or in any way to
contribute permanently to increase the wealth of,
the nation and to giro profitable employment
to the people ? That it has done good ser-
vice, more or less, in all these ways, it
might not be difficult to show, but we shall for the
present confine ourselves to the practical applications
of science which have been brought into more pro-
minent notice, if not stimulated, by the opportunity
of making them known.

Commencing with manufacturing processes, the
Exhibition has been the means of developing a
plan of producing cotton goods of a fineness of tex-
ture hitherto unattainable, and which imparts at the
same time the additional properties of increased
strength and improved capacity for dyeing. The fact
that caustic alkalis possess the property of contracting
the fibres of cotton had been known for some time, but
the idea of applying it for the conversion of a
coarse fabric into a tine one, is quite recent, and in
the different modes of applying this chemical agent
to the production of raised or puckered patterns, an
entirely new branch of manufacture has been opened.
The new process for preparing and dressing flax
to convert it into "flax cotton, was for the first
time publicly illustrated by specimens in different
stages of manufacture in the Crystal Palace. The
value of the invention yet remains to be proved on a
working scale, but the ingenuity of the process can-
not be disputed; and, though the improvements thus
contemplated remain to be realised, they are, to say
the least, full of promise, and if they accomplish but
a portion of the anticipated results, will produce most
important changes in agricultural as well as in ma•
nutacturing industry.

The applications of centrifugal force have been
made known in a greater variety of practical forms
than were before generally conceived, the same law
of nature that keeps planets in their course having
been shown to be available for creating a vacuum or
for producing a blast of air, for raising immense
volumes of water, or for drying substances saturated
with moisture. The jurors have awarded a Council
Medal to one of the centrifugal pumps; and for
special purposes such a means of raising water
will be found of great advantage, though us
a profitable means of employing power it may be
questioned. There are processes of manufacture,
however, in which the advantages of the application
of centrifugal force are unsuestionable. In draining
sugar, for example, and in drying various articles
which arc liable to be injured by heat or by pressure,
the centrifugal engines present means of accomplish-
ing those objects that had never been otherwise
attained. The wet materials, whether sugar, or
starch, or cloth, are placed in a rapidly revolving
cylinder, perforated with holes, and thus the
tendency of the whole mass to fly off at a tangent
presses it closely to the sides. The solid
matters that cannot pass through the small holes arc
retained within the cylinder, but the fluid particles
arc forced through with great velocity, and in a
short time the articles become dry. This plan, it is
true, was known and had been partially applied to
draining sugar and drying linen before the portals of
the Crystal Palace were opened; but the attention it
has excited by being there exhibited has berg the
means not only of making it more generally known,
but has induced its more extended application to
substances not previously thought of. It promises
to be especially serviceable in bleaching, for expel-
ling the chloride of lime, and for rinsing and drying
the cloth, without injuring the texture by squeezing.
_ . . _

In chemical processes and products there were Fia-
wrens impro,ements made known that will be
turned to profitable account, and magnificent speci-
mens of substances of great manufacturing utility,
made especially for the Exhibition, would nut have
been otherwise produced. The highest degree of
perfection attainable by manufacturing chemists
has thus Wen stimulated, and will be found to
have resulted in improved modes of manufac-
ture. The artificial u.tramarine exhibited by a
French chemist promises to effect an important
saving of expense in dyeing and printing that
hitherto costly colour. In the various preparations
of food, also, the applications of chemical science were
exemplified in manners before scarcely known, par-
ticularly in the preparation of beetroot sugar, by a
process which gives increaied value to the cultiva-
tion of that vegetable fur its saccharine properties.

The extensive display of philosophical instruments
contained numerous illustrations of the application of
scientific principles in modes but little known. The
many electric telegraphs, for transmitting lightning
messages in different forms, exhibited, though im-
perfectly, the stages of progress in that important
invention; and brought into notice recently
contrived plans for corresponding on paper,
by means of electricity, as well as dif-
ferent methods of making evanescent signals. The
activity of invention in this department of science
has rendered instantaneous communication between

distant places not only practicable, but affords great
choice of means by which it may be effected. In all ,
the recent improvements in electric telegraphs the
object of diminishing the number of requisite hires
is especially attended to, so as to attain a sufficiently
available speed of transmission with a single circuit ;
and contrasted with these was the original plan of
employing a separate wire for every letter of the
alphabet. The next advance will be to adopt other
and less costly means of completing an electric circuit
between distant towns. Such means, we believe,
are in prospect, though not yet developed.
The most recent application for rendering the
electric light available was to be seen in the Crystal
Palace, and it may have given new ideas and directed
inventive genius in the channel for the perfection of
that means of illumination which is yet, however,
among the things to be. In the same position may
be placed the employment of electro-magnetic agency
as a moving power. Considering the announcements
of the performances of clectro-magnetic engines in
the United States, it was a remarkable omis-
sion in the transatlantic contributions that
there was no specimen of such contrivances.
In the liritish division was exhibited a new
and promising mode of applying the attraction
of electro-magnetism, by which some of the
difficulties that exist in the application of the force
have been overcome, but whether sufficiently so to
render it profitably applicable there were no means
of ascertaining. By the arrangement of causing the
permanent magnets to be attracted into, and repelled
from, the wire coils, the sphere of attraction is greatly
extended: and it may be considered at least as an ad-
vance towards the attainment of a moving power as a
substitute for steam. Other ingenious applications
of electricity were brought into notice for the first
time, among which were simple and effective plans
for alarming a household in the night, in case of
attack by thieves, or of danger from fire; the alarum
being brought into action in one case by the opening
of a door or window, and in the other by the expan-
sion of mercury by heat.
One of the novelties of the Great Exhibition was
the process of electrotyping glass, which promises to
become of considerable practical importance. By
the deposition of a coating of copper on glass
vessels, they are rendered capable of being applied
to all purposes, and may be placed over a fire,
without danger of being cracked, because the heat is
instantly diffused over the whole surface by the
metal covering. This application of the electrotype
process is new in this country, and it indicates a
1 mode of manufacturing copper vessels lined with
glass that may be extremely useful and valuable as
wea for chemical as for culinary purposes.
The objects we have pointed out are sufficient to
show that immediate beneficial results arc likely to
be attained by the exposition of the world's industry.
But it would be taking a very narrow view of the
advantages to be derived from the opportunity it
afforded of seeing all that is new and valuable in the
applications of science to manufacturing arts, to
limit our consideration to immediate effects. The
most important °Weds of the Great Exhibition
were the diffusion of knowledge and the incitement
to improveffient, by placing before the public the
most ingenious, and valuable, and beautiful creations
of human skill and ingeuuity. The results of such

an unprecedented opportunity of gaining knowledge,
the fructification of the ideas conceived by the in-
spection of the numerous appliances, must await the
course of time; and such changes as the progress of
invention will produce during the next half-century
in the social and political condition of mankind
will be greatly influenced by the Great Exhibition
of 1831.

The CHAIRMAN said that since the last meeting, and
up to the date of the last intelligence received from Bom-
bay, no great progress could be made in the prosecution of
the works; but during that period other matters had been
attended to. Their engineer had reported that a.great por-
tion of the works on the line in the islands had been brought
up to the formation level, and other portions of the first
contract were progressing and would soon be completed.
The most important event since the last meeting was the
letting of the second contract on the line from Tannah to
Perseek-point, a distance of four miles, which he believed
was let on satisfactory terms. When these contracts were
finished they would be within eight miles of completing the
first section of the undertaking. The great difficulty would
be in the passage of the Gliauts, and the mode of
effecting it. They hoped to have some useful in-
furtnation on the subject Nitre the next half-yearly
meeting as to the most effectual mode of over-
coming that great difficulty. With respect to the accounts,
he thought they were very satisfactory. The receipts from
the proprietors in England amounted to 270,145/., of which
7.5,040!. was expended, leaving a balance of 194,91.51. in
store for future works. lu Bombay the receipts from pro-
prietors in India amounted to G 1,613/., of which 20,1281.
was expended, leaving a balance of 41,51.;/. iu the hands 01
the government there for the purposes of the company when
required. There was, therefore, an available balance in
hand of 237,430/. for carrying on the works. The expendi-
ture in England during the past half-year amounted to
38,5171., ut which 32,7781. hail been expended in providing
the necessary materials for carrying on the works. It was
very satisfactory that more than three-tourths of tne ex-
penditure in England was for materials necessary for tin-
works, and that the expenditure for other matters during
the half-year was comparatively small. They hail hitherto
preserved prefect harmony with the East India Company,
and there was no doubt that the good understanding be-
wet% them would continue. The government de-
cided as to the ground for the terminus at Bom-
bay. It was understood to be granted on a temporary Mut-
ing, but there was nut much doubt about its being perma-
nent. It was stated to be a very favourable pusition fill' the
terminus of the railway. Ile concluded by moving the
adoption of the report and statement of accounts. (Ap-
-111"!!`0. . ....... . . .

Captain BARBER seconded the motion.
Colonel DICKENSON drew the attention of the directors
to the necessity of their impressing upon the East India
Company the cogency of assisting the comp my with their
engineering staff to survey the district through' which the
extention line passed. As far Wyk as 181.1 and 1816 that
essential point—the passage of the tihauts—was to have
been settled. Hopes were held out is the report of the
directors, u year ago, that the main route would shortly be
decided. The same hopes were held out in the last half=
yearly report, and also in the present report. It was is
matter of great consequence to the inhabitants of the
Deccan and others in the district through which the line
would puss.
The CHAIRMAN thought that the question should be
left to the directors, and said it would be as well to remind
the hon. proprietor that the original project was to carry
the line across the peninsula and was projected by Mr.
Chapman, and of course it was first considered. as one under-
; taking; but the East India Company, having considered
the matter, determined on confining their views to the
construction of the first section of the line, as an exiled- '
mental line, to extend from Bombay to Coition. The
further extension depended on the success of the first sec-
tie'', and, although the works were progressing favourably,
they could not be completed for some time ; therefore they
had not lost any time yet with regard to the extension. In
all probability the surveys were now being proceeded with
at the (Shouts, and lie could state that the East India Com-
pany had agreed to allow the expenses of the survey to be
paid out of the surplus funds of the company. There was
a detailed survey of the district made by Mr. Chapman, and
Mr. Berkley, their engineer, had been user the district, but
had not made a detailed survey. At present the capital of
the company was limited to 500,0001. for the completion of
the first section of the line, 35 miles in length.
The report was unanimously adopted.
Mr. J. G. FRITH, one of the directors, read a letter from
Mr. Willoughby, who had recently returned from Bombay,
to the effect that he had officiated at the cutting of the first
sod of the railway on the 31st of October, 114;50, and that he
expected the line would be opened for traffic in November,
Bag. He considered that satisfactory progress had been
made in the works, and they had withstood one of the
heaviest monsoons that had been remembered for many
years. Ile expressed a strong opinion in favour of the pro.
bable effects that the introduction of railways would pro-
duce in stimulating industry and in promoting commerce to
a considerable extent. The operation of the iailways would
have the good efflfet of causing the common roads of the
district through which they paned to be improved. Ile
attributed the introduction of railways into Western India
entirely to the indefatigable exertions of their noble chair-
man. Ile concluded by stating that he hoped, instead of
spending millions of money, as hitherto, on wars of a ques.
tiunable character, that the money would be spent in useful
works to benefit India, which he was certain would return
a full and ample remuneration for the outlay, as all such
works had hitherto done in that country.
Colonel DICKENSON said that there was no person so
competent as Mr. Willoughby to give an opinion on India
matters, having held a high official situation for many years
in that country.
The CHAIRMAN said he agreed with the observations
contained in Mr. Willoughby's letter, and that no exertions
whatever should be spared in promoting useful improve.
ments in India.

After some further observations a resolution was paged
confirming the foal iture of 273 shares.

In reply to questions it was stated by the CHAIRMAN
that the question respecting the extension of the first sec-
tion had been entertained by the directors of the Etat
India Company so lute as lust April, at which time they
expressed their readiness to go on with it, and to extend
the guarantee to an additional capital of 500,000/. (or that
purpose. Of course every one was aware of the difficulties
of the country and the nature of the seasons, but there was
no diubt that the line would he completed to Callian at
the time specified. With regard to the extension there was
a perfect understanding with the East India Company on
the subject.
On the motion of Colonel I)ICKENSON, a vote of that'll.
was passed to the chairman and directors fur their valuab:e
ervicest

Ile CHAIRMAN made a brief acknowledgment of tls
compliment which had been paid him and the board, in.d
the meeting broke up.

DENIERARA RAILWAY.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company
took piece at the London Tavern, Bishopsigate-street.
ltesav DAVIDAON, E-q., took the chair in the absence
of Mr. M'Chler7, who was unwell.
The SECRETARY read the following report and ac-
counts:—

"The directors beg to inform the shareholders of this
company that since the la.t half-yearly general meeting
they have considered it advisable to sanction the construc-
tion of a further portion of the line of this railway. At
that meeting the shareholders were informed of the strong
conviction entertained by the committee of management in
Demerara that the interests of the company would be ma-
terially advanced by the line being pushed on without delay
towards the terminus at ?Chaim', and their sulisequent ad-
vices informed the directors that they had applied for and
received the last in.talment of the colonial loan (5,000 t.)
for that especial purpose. Thus circumstanced, and the
faith of the company having been pledged to an immediate
advance, the directors decided at once upon sanctioning the
continuance of the new works which bad been begun by
the engineer. The embankment has been accordingly
thrown up for the entire distance between Vieturis
and Greenfield ; the rails, when the last advices left
the colony, were ou the point of being laid down, and
this additional secti m of the line will he completed
without delay. It has been found impossible, under

the foregoing circumstances, to close, u had been
intended, the capital account of the company.
The shareholders will remember that, at the last general
meeting, they, were informed of various arrangements
which were in progress for re-modelling the company's co-
lonial establishment; and the directors have the plce.ore to
state, that these arrangements have been since fully and
satisfactorily carried out under the management of Mr.
Manifold. The colonial committee still continue to render
valuable services to the company, by auditing the accounts,
which are periodically remitted under the certificate of the
chairman of that board. Great care has been taken to re-
duce the expenditure to as low a point as possible in all
branches of the undertaking; and a further saving will
hereafter be effected in the item of wages of the European
workmen, whose contracts of service having expired, have
not been renewed, the native labourers being found per-
fectly efficient for these duties. It having been found im-
possible to obtain payment from a considerable num-
ner of defaulters whose names wire in the arrear
list at the last general meeting, their shares have
been declared to be forieittal; and there are now
2,205 of such shares at the company's disposal.
The directors have much pleasure in pointing the atten-
tion of the shareholders to the report from the general
manager, dated on the 11th ult.), which shows the excellent
condition of the rolling plant, stations, bridges, and per-
manent way, and the satisfactory state of the truffle. It is
gratifying also to observe, that the proprietors of large
estates who have hitherto transported their produce and
atort s by water, are now gradually availing themselves, as
had been anticipated, of the superior advantages of the
railway; and the directors see nu Teasel' to doubt the cor-
rectness of Mr. Manifold's opinion, that ere long the com-
pany will have the entire carrying trade of the district
through which the line passes. Equal confidence they
also think may he placed upon Mr. Manifold's judgment as
to the future extent of the passenger trattie,based upon the
present returns, and the gradual increase of the population
on the east coast. The directors beg to submit to the share-
holders a statement of the financial position of the com-
pany to the 30th ult., and to state that, although difficulties
which they have been unable to prevent still rema to be
overcome, their confidence in the ultimate ❑nd complete
success of this undertaking remains unshaken."
From the accounts it appeared that the total receipts of
the company were 2'23, it I/. Ws. Id., and the total expendi-
ture 220,9771. 7s. 2d., leaving a balance in hand of
2,5371. 2s. Ild.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
stated that the directors thought it would be advisable for
the proprietors to agree to a committee being appointed to
met in conjunction with the directors with a view to see
what arringemi nts could be made to complete the railway
as quickly as possible.
Mr. RIDGWAY seconded the adoption of the report,
and alluded to the important position which the colony of
British Guiana occupied at the Great Exhibition.
The CHAIRMAN said the warehouses in George Town
were crammed with goods waiting to be carried on their
railway, and that on the completion of it there would be
no doubt of a speedy dividend. (hear, hear.)
Mr. SANDBACII then moved that a committee be r.p..
pointed for the purpose of conferring with the director, on
the present state of the company, and on the bast means to
adopt to complete the railway ut once.
Mr. RIDGWAY seconded this, nut because he had any
doubt of the ability M the directors, but because he thought
it would lead to greater confidence on the part of the
shareholders. (Hear, bear.)
The report was then adopted, and also the resolution fur
the committee, who were to make their report to a future
meeting.

Mr. 13 OUCH moved a vote of thanks to the chairman
and director.. A. to their position, it was quite satisfactory;
they were going on making a regular income. and, if they
could only pay their dcbts, the shareholders would ..u.)11
participate in a dividend. (Hear, hear.)
The motion was seconded and passed unanimously, when
the meeting adjammod.

SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY

Yesterday afternoon a special general 'fleeting of
proprietors if the above cotnistny, was held at the Royal
flute!, Chester. Wu. Weatuett, chairman t.f the
board, presided.

Mr: hAILICIN, the secretary, rend the notice convening
the meeting, which was for the purpose of authorising the
calling in of 27,000 shares, upon winch U. per share had
been paid, and to issue in lieu thereof 1,300 new enures of
.01. each, one of the new shares representing 20 of the can-
celled stock ; and also to empower the directors to raise dm
sum of 07,260/. by the creation of new shuns of the utost
convenient amount for apportionment among the msent
holders of the company's stock, and to guarantees dividend
on the proposed new stock, not to exceed .6; per cent. per
annum, either for a limited time or in perpetuity.

The CHAIRMAN said that the notice whirls had been
read sufficiently mph • sl the objects for which the present
meeting had been called It would be seen that in piant of
fact the whole of the ordinary 10/. shares were to be can-
celled, in terms of the act passed last session of parliament.
In fuluition to those 27,600 shares, upon which 1/. each had
been paid, the capital of the company consisted of 6,000
shares of 261. 13s. 44. 20,500 shares of 201., 15,000 shares of
13/. 6s. fid., and 17,540 preference shares of 101. each, thus
making the total share capital of the company 072,0004
The only effect or the cancelling of the 101. ordinary shares
upon which 11. each had been paid, and substituting new
stock, would be to increase the number of 201. shares
from 20,400 to 21,1380. Hut it was a different matter
with regard to the other item mentioned in the
notice convening this meeting ; and although most
of the shareholders would probably have been already put
in possession of the liabilities and requirements of the com-
pany, it would not be out of place to refer particularly on
the present occasion to the plan proposed by the directors
to meet the circumstances. The liabilities of the company
had been divided into tour classes, which would be oistin-
guished as A, 13, C, and L ; unitedly amounting to the
sum total of 173,4001. But, as the elas.es C and D were
nut immediately pressing, and formed 76,110/. of the imwro.
gate amount, it was proposed by the directors to seek the
sanction of the shareholders fur raising the reinaimier only,
amounting to 97,2601, by creating prekrence stock, fur
which a guaranteed dividend was proffered of 5 per cent.
per annum. The directors also recommend that this new
preference stock shall be issued in shares of 101. each, ono
of such shares being tillotted to every 1001. of share ea: ital,
and be made redeemable at any time after the expira-
tion of tire years on payment of a beaus of
ten per cent. (Hear, hear.) It must be Immo
in mind that more than half the amount which would he
required fur dividend upon the protioset4 new le/. skates
Kiel already been paid half-yearly out of the revenue, in the
shape of interest, commission, and other charges
parable from renewals of obligations to bankers and others;
the raising of the additional sum upon the propos* d new
preference stuck could not, therefore, seriously &Hist the
position of the company's clear revenue, while at must un-
doubtedly tend to strengthen and improve its financial posi-
tion. (Cheers.) The directors would thus be enabled to
liquidate many outstanding simple contract debts, which,
besides that the creditors had a right to expect a settle-
ment of their claims, would become chargeable with into-
rest, and greatly prejudice the company's future operations
and contracts. There were also some claims udder refer-
ence, which had been estimated, and for the works in pro-
grew, additional plant, and contingencies, the sum now
proposed to seek the sanction of this meeting was consi-
dered by the directors as at once ample and consistent with
tree economy and the best interests of the company. (Loud
cheering.)
After some conversatior,

The SECRETARY mid the resolutions seriatim,
in conformity with the arringentents above ,tateil, width
were r.specurely put from the chair, seconded by the Mayor
of Chester, and other sharvholdets, and unanimously
adopted.
The CHAIRMAN said, the businew for which the meet-
ing was specially convened was concluded; and atated, in
reply to a question front Mr. LiAell, that by the agree-
ment entered into with the Great WeAcru and the two
Shrewsbury companies, the Birkenhead Company were
guaranteed 3 per cent. on the capital of 2,000,9001, sa't ling
for the first two years, 31 percent. for the third, and 4 per
cent. for the fourth ; but at the same time they way to
have the option of amalgamating before that time at their
fixed capital.
Mr. ROY said that it simply meant that there was to be
no abatement on any portion of the capital of the company.
That would be taken at the amount of 2,000,0001. sterling.
The meeting then separated.

THE Citot's ON THE CONTINENT. - Our Vienna
correspondent writes, on the 24th lust. England has
good reason to be thankful for the Imuntiful harvest in the
present year. From the partial information published in
the provincial journals, there is eve-ry reason to Mimi that
the grain crops throughout the empire have turned oat
very small in quantity and very light in quality. Much wheat
and rye his been extensively damaged by the continued 'wet
weather during the months of August and September. The
potato disease has ravaged the chief article of food of
the poorer classes to en enormous extent. The vine has
somewhat recovered under an unusually warm and genial
October sun, but the wine will be poor and small in quan-
tity, the fruit having suffered from a disease similar to that
of the potatoes. Prices of grain are rising slowly but
steadily, notwithstanding the increased railway facilities of
transporting grain from Hungary. A good deal of Hun-
garian wheat is already consumed in lluhem 1, and the trade
is increasing. It cannot he questioned that the rise in
price is partly occasioned also by the continued
depreciation of Austrian paper ; but the ignorant among
the consumers am raising a loud cry agai mot the corn
dealers. It is roundly asserted that the spoculatori
in grain are purchasing in order to hoard until the price
shall have reached a point sufficiently high ta gratify their
avarice. As in France at the cominmccmcnt of the revolu-
tion. a loud clamour is raised, aud government is called
upon to interfere. Magistracy and common conneils, whine
office it is to control the privileged bakers, butchers, &c., of
the city, sit in solemn conclave, debating the monthly prices
which shall be paid by the consumers. They are accused In
the press of undue leaning towards the dealer. The oared of
the city increase* the confusion. The grower in the vicinity,
unwiliang to pay the duty at the barrier, finds a purchaser
where lie can beyond it. A fair open market is impeded,
competition is impossible, privileged monopoly and unpri-
vileged unscrupulous capitalists doubtless make the most
thin: y can of the confusion. Government is spec 'led to on
all sides, but always to do more than it does at present.
Protection is to be carried out still further. The machinery
at the disposal of the Austrian bureaucracy must speedily
break down under the endless burdms which iguoraat peo.
plo endeavour to their own disadvantage to impose upon it."
