The CHAIRMAN, at the coecludoo of the report, said
that they would perceive, if they adopted it, they would ob-
tain pommies et their has at the sad of the year. Under
these eireametaates, probably some one woad cone that
the report be reale= and adopted, in accordance with the
views of the diraters.
Dr. COWAN. of Carlisle , did not approve of the Une
teeing gias Yea bramo to Mr. Hudson, on behalf albs dines-
owe etas Yed‘lffeweentle, and Berwick ReliweaCesepesy,
sail that Isom hod gent received the unman of the beard.

Hudson at the ad of the year 1819, whether it wee in the
power of theahareholders to concur in that object I And the
mond was whether Mr. Hu ,son or the York, Newcastle,
and Berwick Railway Comp any were bound to them ?
The CHAIRMAN could assure Mr. Edison that the
directors intended to pane quite an independent
want. There was a qucs.ion eked respecting whether
any additional capital would be required to Stab
all their undertaktup ; and he would jot math
that the three bridges they bad to build bad cost them a
great deal of money, as well as •he approaches to that town,
which had been raised a: a great elevation to reach it, but
notwithstanding that he wee satisfied that the rental of the
arches in Moe approaches would realise 10 per cent. for the
capital expended. The director did not intend to follow the
example of the parties at Carlisle, for what part of the station
Wry occupied there would is. rented. They, however, were
hound by agreementat Newcastle, but, notwithstanding, the
directors had it in contemplation to make an effort to modify
it, so far as it affected the ornamenting of the town. A great
deal ut ornamental work thew knew tad already been with-
drawn, and nothing would be retained cunt that which was
really useful.
Dr. CO WAN then easel when the dividend would be paid ?
Th. CHAIRMAN—Oa the let of Jay and January re.
spectively. The lest halnyeat's rental they knew had set
been pad until a month after the time, but that arcs. le
give • little seconiatodatfm to parties on account of the
peculiar praisers of the times. He bad, however, no ream
to doubt bat that the dividend would be paid in January ;
for with respect to the scone of the lii a before Mr. Hada=
got it under his management, realised 150,8251.85. Id. That
return justified the directors in saying that the current year
would reach that sum 11 not exceed it, al:hough the podgy
; wooed by the York and Newcastli Company was pater
ties. That, however, would not be the case in ashen time,
and the consequence would he that by a greater diffusion et
trade, and by increased traffic from passengers, the revenge
it wee anticipated would be more dila than last year.
Mr. ADAMSON then read the following report :
" The highest amount ever received in any one year by the
Newcastle and Carlisle Compute, before the line came into
Mr. Hudson's hands, was 115,8251. Be. ld. ; the returns up
to this time justly me in saying that for the current year the
receipts will reach, If not exceed, that seam, although the
policy pursued in the management of the line is exclusively
of a protective character to the York, Newcastle, and B
Company's tiadc. The falling off in the passac
traffic has also been severely felt up-n that line.
receipts have also suffered materially from the present
state of Ireland—the carriage of Irlh provide= Into
this district haricot been a very important item in the
accounts; this traffic will again return with returning pro•
sperity in that counter ; but with these adverse circum-
stances to matted with, and the receipts reaching the high-
est point ever attained in any former year, must be deemed
conclusive that, with a reined of trade in this district the
traffic w:11 largely increase upon this line. A large and
nee source of Ira*: Is daily developing itself upon the Cu.
lisle line, namely, tee carriage of coal and cake to Meryport
and Whitehaven fur shipment to Ireland. It is now pretty I
well ascertained thee the coke made in this district is
mere suitable for railway purposes, and can be supplied
cheaper than from any other part of the kingdom, and the
Carlisle line must ultimately monopolise the supply to the
Irish markets. The English and Scotch railway compa-
nies also find its use advantageous to their interests, and
the supply to Carlisle for further transit both north and
south is increasine. A large contract has lately been com-
pleted for the supply of 30,000 tons per annum at Carlisle
—others will no doubt follow. The carriage .f coal and
coke to Maryport and Whitehay.ii enables us to bring back
the brrmatile iron ore which is found in great abundance
near the laver place, many II award tons have already been
broueht during the present year to the various iron works in
this district."
Tee CHAIRIdAN, at the conclusion of the report, put
the motion respective; the directors' report, when it was
carried unanimously.
The misting then separated, after passing a vote of thanks
to the chairman.

WEST FLANDERS.
T.e eighth half.yeariy graeral meeting of propriston of
this railway was held yesterday at their offices. 11, King
William.street, W. P. lticeittame, Esq., in the chair.
The report, whieh was given in the Daily Naos of yes-
terday, wes read by the &oratory.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
etc., said that th• most important matter it contained was
the wonunt of ff ceipt and expenditure, but that wee so fully
set forth he thought it unnecessary to dwell upon it. The
reports u to the state of the line and tt e rolling stock were
extremely satisfactory. It would be seen that their position
was somewhat improved, but nevertheless he could not e tn.
gratul tte them upon it, for it almost lash. I like • burlesque
to tell gentlemen who had laid out their capital
in the expectation of receiving • fair interest on it,
that they were to melee may the paltry dividend of ls. 3d.
per share. It was evident that they had been grossly do.
ceivsd, and had been led to expect an amount of traffic whisk
could not he realised. No one had more reason to
fact than hie etlf, but, as it was so, all they could de was to
make the best of their condition, and not waste more maw
in useless litigation. He could safely appeal to the way is
which the directors bad carried out their promises of eco-
nomy. (Hear, hear.) They were now working the Mae at
1501. a mile, and had been working it at that tate forth t last
half year, while every tufa of ten carriages only
a mike, which took into fleolslo% every expense. By a repent
arrangement mitered into by the Belgian government with
•he North of France Railway, • portion of the
ecirls hitherto brought by that lin% woald now
come upon theirs and be of service, though he feared
not much benefit. By another
_arrearmist of the
government their railway would be brought MIN to the
Canal of Bruges, o• which goods could be shipped at venue
from the railway. He might observe, too, that the esaill.
lion of Flanders itself was slowly improving; and all is
circumstances werranted him is the expectation that the
receipts of the line would increase, although, after so many
disippointenente, he was yowl/Jag to ems& kimerff to any
lifret&d amount. With respect to the Chassmy solo he bed
only to express • wish that the ohmmeter of the sompialicar
might come out of the investigation as unblemished as that
of the die, etnre.
Mr. BLUNT having seconded the mode* for the adop-
tion of the report,
Mr. LINDIeIi raised a disenrioa en the paragraph re-
lasing to the Chancery snit, by observing that it was ea
action value the director, si.h whirl the company had
nothing to do, and of which they bad been kept in ig-
norence.
The CHAIRMAN denied that there had boss an
eco-
malaria. He bad on the contrary always boasted of the
muss be had adopted in referee.* to that snit; and he
bartered still it was the beat act he hod done dada( his
tenure of president.
Mr. Buena Dir. Cloonan Lao° RCIIMILL, and other
proprietors having expressed it as their op• ion that the
repot t would be more aeoeptable to the shanlolden without
the paragraph in quickie, the chairmen consented to its
beiog expunged ; and the report so amended was nnani-
mottely agreed to.
Resolutions approving of the dividend of le. 3d. a afar,
of thetas to Mr. Chantrell for his sueserfal efforts to redoes
thr expenditure, and to the direct re generally, having been
adt pted, the meeting broke up.

holders the representation of Dengue= was fiercely
contested en several °coulees by the great families of
Cavendish and Brantford. The latter had more load
interest at one time, bat the liberal principles of the
former enabled it to prevail, until at Le* the Duke of
Devonshire came to be regarded as the main influence
of ptingarean polities. But that influence was sorely
strained when it bad to encounter the enthusiasm of
the first repeal agitation in 1832, when the popular
party succeeded in triumphing fuse many aristocratic
strongholds. It is now matter of history that some
of the triumphs of O'Connell's tail were by no means
creditable to the Irish liberal party, or, in the long
run, serviceable to real liberal interests. Dungarees
was one of the places where, at the general election
consequent on the Reform Bill, the efforts of the po-
pular and repeal party were tried, in that instance,
without avail.
At that time the Hoe. George Lamb was the
member nominated by "the Duke," and in oar notices
of our Irish boroughs, es we shall have occasion to
speak of " the Duke" again, our readers may here be
cautioned that we mesa Devonshire, and not Wel-
lington, by " the Duke" Mr. George Lamb is doule-
leas still remembered by some of our readers as a
good-natured, agreeable, and rather insouciant man--
a virtuoso and affected connoisseur in art, literature,
and politics. He had one of those natures which
affects the artist, but cannot, for want of natural
force, go beyond the amateur. He wss brother to
Lord Melbourne, and did succeed to some extent in
obtaining a literary and political celebrity.
On Mr. lamb's death, in 1833, O'Connell, then at
war with the wbig ministry, made a push for the seat,
and some very extraordinary conaequences malted.
Lord Anglesey's government was then vainly tryit g
to encounter at all p Ants the Irish demagogue. Mr.
?eine George Barron, of the innumerable elan of the
Waterford Barrows, was then high sheriff of the
county. He was a whig in politics, a catholic in
weed, and was very popular, having a certain dashing
off-band style. The Castle revolved that he should
be put forward for the seat rather than surrender it
to an O'Consellite ; "the Duke" offered to back
the popular Pelmet George ; but O'Connell and
the repeaters resolved to seize the seat,
and just then the whigs were very unpopular
under the influence of the Coercion Bill and
the Stanley-phobia. A Dublin gentleman—one Mr.
Ebenezer Jacob—was started as a candidate. He
had no local connexions ; but a thundering letter
from the Irish agitator introduced him to the electoes,
and bola sides prepared for the tug of war. On the
popular side there were displayed all the resources of
agitation, the whip even asserted that there was in.
timidation ; and on the government side the-, was a
resolution to employ the arts of corruption. That
the government were ready to employ money in
" liberating " the Dangarvan fishermen was proved
beyond all doubt by a letter being reed in the House
of Commons, which brought home the case to the
Castle. The letter was addressed to the late Mr.
Galway, then M.P. for Waterford, and gave him in-
structions in the regular elenioneering style. The
writer of tee letter was no less a personage than Mr.
Solicitor-General Crampton, now one of her Majesty's
Justices of the Queen's Bench of Ireland. The letter
wuresd in the House of Commons by Mr. F. O'Connor,
then M.P. for Cork, and caused a great sensation.
We will refer to evident* on this point as follows :
The hon. and learned gentleman (Mr. F. O'Connor) read
a letter from the Boliedor-General of Ireland to Mr. Gal-
wey, M P , in which the hon. and learned gentleman (the
Solicitor-Gen.rel) said that he transmitted a draft for 2001
towards opening the bereiteh of Dungarees, and that 3001
would be ready to be mot fie the NMI purpose when mess-
eary.—(Vide " II Award," vol. 24, 3rd series, p. 840 )
How such a letter got into the hands of the repeal
party nuzzled everybody at the time. The fact was,
that Mr. Barron, while sojourning at a hotel in Dun.
preen, received the letter from Mr. Galway at
breakfast time. He read it, and threw it
into the fire, where it was soon in a blaze, and
he thought no more of it, as in the hurry of
an electron bustle, his attention was sp edily di-
rected to something else. The letter was only half
burnt, and fell into the ashes, where it was found by
a waiter who came to clear the breakf est table. Off
went the waiter with the prize to a certain popular
supporter of the repeal candidate, and from him it
passed into the hane.e of Mr. Romayee, M. P., who'
sent the letter to a member of the House of Commons.
Lord Chancellor Plunket refaced peremptorily to lend
himself in any way to the promoters of Mr. Romayne,
who was at the time looking for an assistaut-barris-
terthip, and that learned gentleman sorely suffered in
consequence of the use he had made of the letter from
the Solicitor-General to Mr. Barron.
But despite the exertions of the officials of Dublin
Castle, and of Lismore Castle (" the duke's" It eft
seat), the repeal candidate was returned, and for the
time "the duke'." influence over Irish politico
seemed at an end, as members had been returned
despite of his opposition at Dungarvan and Youghal,
and the whig influence in the county of Cork bad
been entirely destroyed. In honour of the triumph
of the Dungarean fishermen over the castles of Debits
sod Lismore, and in the reran of Mr. Jacob, the
repeal candidate, a facetious pie, almost as wag-
gish if not so learned as Father Pont, wrote an

iplgram :
'Phis the men of Dungarees with greet acclamation,
Oa the base +biggish new vent their just indignation ,
And oft having weathered the billow and pie,
Now plant Jacob's ladder, and moist far repels."
So wrote Casey, " the bard of Ballythomas."
Mr. Jacob was unseated before a committee of the
House of Commons, but was again returned by the
electors, on which occasion Fearges O'Connor acted
as chief agitator. The popular and repeal party had
made great way. and it was not without satisfaction
that the Cavendish party saw a means epee to them by
which they might without dishonour compromise the
matter with the Dungarvan repealer.,
At the special instance of the Marquis Wellesley,
the late Sir Michael O'Loghlen was made Solicitor-
General for Ireland in place of Mr. Crampton, pro-
moted. A seat was wanted far the eminent catholic
lawyer, and Danger= seemed jest the place fit for
O'Loghlen, as his friend O'Conneil would offer him no
oppcstion and " the duke" would, of course, assist
the official lawyer of the whip. O'Loghlen accord-
ingly stood for Diingervan on the Cavendish and po-
pular interests, but experienced some opposition from
local parties, headed by Mr. John Matthew Gahm,
once for a brief space one of O'Connell's tail, and
in that capoity M.P. for some months for Water-
bed. Mr. Cialwey was a bustling, pushing,
native man, and though not a great man was a
very big one. Mr. Galwey was a kind of com-
bination of the Irish catholic squire and a general
isalw in trade. He was agent at Deegan= for the
lotuoCork porter brewery of Beamish and Crawford.
*lda gave him a considerable spirituous influence
own some of the electors. Mr. Galway was a climb.-
dientjoint of O'Connell's tail, and the operation of his
excision Iron caudal connexion was performed with
the rapidity of a Dapuytren is amputation. Soured
at his treatment, Mr. Galway resolved to make a
fight against the arrogant agitator who had cut
him off, and started against O'Loghlen in the punch
and porter interest. The priests sided with the
agitator; a struggle in the borough took place
between the spiritual influence of their reverences and
the spirituous interest of Mr. Galwey. Much bicker-
ing and indecorous conduct was the result, and in
patting down Mr. Galwey It is certain that the
priestly influence was carried to a most dis-
graceful length, with high-handed insolence of
authority. Mr. Galwey showed considerable
nerve, bat woe to the Irish catholic who has a fight
with " the clergy." Backed by the influence of the
two castles (blin and Limnore)—of the agitation
—and of the priests, Mr. O'Loghlen (though a native
elClare) showed in a most triumphant manner that
bo was a jut the man to do for Galway." He polled
in 1634 nearly 4 to 1 against the prodigious Mr.
Galwey, and on the 191 of September,
1835, O'Loghlen stria Vidmphed over Mr.
Galway by 316 to 163. From that time the whig
party looked on Dengue= as &harbour of refuge for
their catholic candidatele

The DITSIDIXT, In UN MUM of Inaugural address es-
entered upon the plan en whisk the government of the college
was ewes. Jutted and the guard tutus of the course of study
in the several departmenta. It was right that the usedl of
the college should meet the °midget* which had been
shown by the public, by a similar °prone,' on their
own part ; and it was the mere desirable, as he felt confideat
that the principles upon which the colltge was esmblished
only required to be known to secure general soquiescenos
and approval. He skoaldfi-st mention that it was to be con-
stituted • member of the Unseal's Univ. rdty. That would
be so, because those statesmen to whom had bun (*remitted
the great task of organkieg the education of our 'matey,
and who were new %high% their labours to so glorious •
consameastion,hed deemed it indispensable that the new in-
stitution should enjoy the fullest privileges of University
sanction, that Its degrees and honours should be derived
;run no less than maticeal authority. Hence it had been
resolved that the several colleges should be aggregated
into an university from which students should receive de-
grees, and at which, previous to graduation, their rela-
tive mutts should be finally ascertained ; and thus that the
different delineate of our population, now so widely
separated, should be brought into • companionship
of study, and that by the result of honourable competition
fur the rewards of merit they should learn to respect each
other, and by the experience of andealie conflict they should
be diicipined foe cadial co-operation in the affairs of public
life. The Wiese was yet, at the same time, and in • more
remarkable degree, to be considered as an independent insti-
tution. By its charter it was meld. dto found rewards for
superior scholarship, and by the same charter the president
was bound to render every year an account of the institution.
which should be laid before parliament, and thus its admi-
nistration submitted to the public. The President then ad-
' versed to the general plan of education, and the various degrees
elbechelor and mutes of arts,aad doctor of law and medicine.
As regards these, the college coateined withia itself all the
imulties of a university. Bat it would be observed that in the
bailey of arts their course of education differed essentially
from that of the older colleges, in the introduction of ex-
w:
ental and natural berme., and of modern languages.
had not forgotten that they should educate yam'
ors, not for the retirement of scholastic or ecelesiastleal
life ; but for the actual requirements of the age is
which we lived. With the countless forms of life with whisk
natural history made u• acquainted existing around us,
and while every day's existence depended on the laws
of natural philosophy and chemistry, it were abated
to call that education which should omit those sciences.
While by securing the full and critical study of the ancient
lugusges as well for the sake of the sublime r‘ mains
of oratorio and poetical genius which they con-
tained, as font their being the languages of thus
countries from which the civilisation of modem
nations sprang, they made modern languages an
essential part of the course of study, the interchange of
ideas at the present day being as important as familiarising
with the ides' of days which were pest They had first
admitted only the French language ; but as the course ad-
vanced the other modern languages would be introduced.
Another point in which the plan of education in that college
presented some special features was in the option admitted
in certain cases as to the course whieb each student should
pursue. Their wish above all %biogs was that the student
'mould really learn. The real knowledge of some one
thing was worth • world of smattering and surperficisdi
ties. They were, therefore, resolved to enable the stu-
dent, according to the bent of his dispositiou, to dis-
embarrass himself of subjects which he did not seta-
toady want, and to concentrate his attention upon thou
departments which he did really require. Thus in the
second year of study they enabl. d the student to omit the
higher mathematics or him who proposed to pursue a
steno course to omit clessies. Instead of frittering away
attention by the compulsory study of both subjects together,
they would have students who were thoroughly versed in
ace or the other. The President then referred to the
amount of preliminary education required from students
desirous to matriculate. Their object was to carry in-
es ruction in the several faculties to the most advanced
and eminent position. Bat for this purpose they would
require students to enter within their walls possessed of a
eenderable knowledge of mathematics and the Baldish
language. They appealed. upon this subject to those
honourable persons to whom the task of preliminary edu-
cation was entrusted in this city and county. lie bad fre-
quently occasion to know bow much the country suffered in
character from the deficiency which existed of an accurate
knowledge of literature and science. The President next
adverted to the different distinctions to be conferred on
students for superior merit, consisting of scholarships, honors,
and prise*, and stated that in order that those who had ob-
tained scholarships should be induced to continue their el-
ution+, it was intended that the tenure of that rank should
last only a year, when the stedents would be again admis-
sible to examination for the same distinction. There re-
mained. however one claim which they possessed to the ap-
proval end confidence of their countrymen which he had not
noticed. That claim was based on the excellent arrange-
ments that were made for securing the morals and religious
discipline of the students. (Cheers.) The statutes of
the college had been prepared under the advice and
honoured with the approval of the most learned, mast pious,
and most excellent personages. Dr. Lane then referred
at length faro the question of the standee, and contrasted
the securities which they afforded for the pregervatloa of
faith and morality with thou presented by Trinity College,
by Cambridge or Oxford, and by the various educational
institutions of Germany.

TSB FITTS AT DOLLY'S BRAE. —The Belled
Chronicle Stye :--The Orangemen have kept quiet here to-
day, The police occupied Dolly's Brae from an early hour,
end the catholic., in obedience to the advice of their elergy,
did not amiable in parties in the neighbourhood ; but there
is so doubt that they determined to defend their houses and
unmade. with the utmost energy and courage should the
Orangemen 'adulate in their savage prop.nsities of burning,
robbery, and murder. There is one thing that you would
do well to remember, that ea the last 12th of July the ca-
tholic party had as istentiou el attaellne the Orangemen,
and that the firing en their part ommenced ia reply to that

DRAMA.
LYCEUM.
If there is a lack of dramatists at present, there is
no lack of playwrights ; an indentions mat, who
supply the thrums with wares that abundantly sup-
ply the demands of the playgoers of this metropolis-
A new play, at all worthy of the tame, soneely
I appears owe in twenty year', while we have
new comic dramas, melodramas, sad frees, two
or three times a week. Trifling es them things
an, they have seldom the merit of being ori-
ginal; oar good-natured public having penally the
satisfaction of feasting on crass& recoota—Anae ;tale
dish already served op at the Vatietes, i r the Pone
Bt. Martin. Everything gees down, too; the Mute
of a new piece is a thing unheard of. If the play-
wright only has the tact to lying oat the hutment' or
peculiarities of some favourite, his piece is sure to be
applauded for a cmnfortable number of nights, though
it peones neither plot, character, wit, nor any other
feature of a good drama.
Such a piece was that which was produced hat
evening at the Lynam, under the title of "Methinks
I see my Father. Its plot was so void of common
sense, so destitute of the caherence and consistency
necessary to render even the broadest farce enter-
taining, that we cannot waste the time of our readers
on such childishness. But Charles Mathews, in the
character of a certain Felix Flightly, skipped about
and rattlel away, through two acts, with such un-
flagging vivacity, and uttered the few good things
that were put into his month with such point and
spirit that the audience applauded loudly, and the
curtain fell with the mud signs and tokens of com-
plete success.
