RAILWAY MEETINGS.

YORKINEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK.
NOTICE ON MOTION TO 113-0130•111.1 THE DI
RIC OTZT.
"EWE Tome, JULY 11.
The last meeting of the shareholders in this line of
railway, to restive the firm report of the committee of inverti-
gation, wu adjourned until today ; and it was expected opt°
Saturday lest that the committee would be able to present a
further report on that day. That, however, was found im-
possible, and the meeting was therefore advertised to be
held, merely pro forms, and to be nein adjourned far
a week.
On the present occasion Bosnia Darns, Esq., deputy-
chairman of the company, presided, and the other directors,
the committee of investiiation, and several of the sompany's
officials were present. There were not smear thartheiden
there—perhaps a score.
The SECRETARY (Ms. Close) having reed the adver-
tisement convening the meetther.
The LORD MAYOR of YORK, as chairman of the
committee of investigation, explained why the present meet-
ing must be adjourned. 're. committee very deeply
regretted that circumstances had arisen which compelled
them to ask at the hands of the shartholden a further ad-
immanent, to enable them to submit their second report.
They had fully intended, end would have been happy dam
souk' have submitted this report to them that day; bat
there had been a lees of time, in consequence of circum-
stances which the committee could not control. The com-
mittee were anxious that the shareholders should have some
time between the issuing of the report and the holding of the
meeting, in order that they might make them-
selves conversant with it; and, having found that
if they availed themselves of all the means at their
W, they could not have got the report out
riealMonday, and that therefore the shareholders would
have very little time to read it over coolly sad deliberately,
they thought it would be desirable, and the least evil of the
two to propose a further adjournment to Thunday.the 19th
but. The committee would endeavour te issue copses of the
report not later than Friday evening, and they hoped that
the shareholders would then have time to look over the
evidence which would be placed in their hands, and that by
the 19th instant, they would be able to form their own
?pinions upon that evidence. His lordship moved accord-
ingly that the mating be adjourned to Thursday next, the
19th inst.
Mr. LOVE seconded the motion, which was carried.
A SHAREHOLDER 'Weld if the voting sale had been
assimilated to the Clauses Consolidation Act ?
The CHAIRMAN.—There is no alteration in the mode
of votiug.
SHAREHOLDER.—It is so reported in the proceedings
of the House of Commons, and I beg to direct the attention

of the I;vitaMb; the matter.—
No other question being mooted,
The LORD MAYOR proposed a vote of thanks to the
chairman, and the meeting stood adjourned until Thar eday

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JULY e.
A good deal of apprehension is felt about the con-
duct that will be observed in Ulster to-morrow.
It is feared that there will be some collisions, and that
the old party watchwords will be raised. Lord
Messareene has addressed a strange letter to the
Bishop of Down, commenting on the Bishop's late ad-
dress,
dress, inculcating Christian feeling and avoidance of
insulting boast. Lord Massareene tells the Bishop of
Down it would have been better to have addressed
the clergy exclusively, as they seem to be the great
promoters of Orangeiem. lord Masesreene has
thrown open his park for the gathering of the Antrim
omogemen, at the express request of a beneficed
clergyman. The noble lord's letter is a very curious'
production.
Since the announcement of the Queen's visit,
nearly all the lodgings have been taken at the Cove
of Cork, and demands fur increased accommodation
hare been made by persons of high rank and re-
spectability.
At Multingar Assizes there has been a capital con-
viction of two prisoners for the murder of James
Curly. The convicted prisoners were sentenced to
death by Chief Justice Doherty, and before they were
removed from the court, they uttered the most fearful
imprecations on both judge and jury. Shortly after
one of the jury observed that he was dogged by a
desperate ruffian, and in pointing him out to the
police, they immediately recognised him as one of the
gang concerned in the murder. He was immediately
committed to prison by order of Chief Justice Do-
herty.
Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., is about to give lectures in
Belfast, the proceeds to be applied to extending the
library of the Working Clams Association. It is
very rarely now that an Irish barrister seeks to exert
himself in any sphere beyond the limits of his pro-
fession. There re perhaps more learning, but also
le s public spirit, than was formerly common at the
bar. " All an Irish barrister minds now-a-days is his
brief-beg, " drily observed one of the " fathers" of the
bar not long since.

Thom was a third gentleman entered, but he did not eons

The expectations of a grand race were not disappointed.
It was a splendid start, sad they were oar and oar with one
another for the first three minutes, when the Wandsworth
crew began to peep out in front, closely waited upon by the
Durham. In this order they parsed the committee's barge,
when the winners went to work In gallant style, shot right
ahead, and came in first by a length and a Main advance,
after a struggle of the son gallant and lasting description.

which the Agnes went fa stream with a slight lead up to
the high bridge, where they foaled the Wandsworth crew,
which bad the effect of creating a slight stoppage to the
Chelsea boat.
The Oxford men, who kept a very good course in the race,
then went well in 'dunes, winning by a length and a half.
The gallant Agnes crew were much chagrined at their
