The half-yearly meeting of shareholders was
held yesterday at the offices, 27, Greet George-street. Mr.
13cuuterae in the chair. The lullowing is an abstract of toe
torn
s' The progress made with the *erica of the undertaking
since February last has been very satisfactory, es opposes
from the annexed report of the eng seer. The directors ere
still cootklent that the line and station will be ready for
public traffic by the let of Jane, 1860. The large
expenditure already incurred le owing to the greater pert
of the land having been geld for, possession being ne-
oeseary for the prompt exuatioit of the works. Of
the several schemes which were brought forward in par-
liament this year for connecting the Great Western and
London end North-Western systems with the Victoria ate-
, lion, that for the extensional*. existing Wet London line
across the Thames, having received the signora of the Great
Western, London and Bath-Western, Bngliton end South-
Wasters companies, who have jointly undertaken to fled the
capital for Its construction, has pawed both honer of the
legidatnre, and is Intruded to be corded out u rapidly as
pourable. An arrangement has been entered into with the
Brighton Company, subject to the approval of the share-
holders of both companiee, under which the Brighten Com-
pany will become entitled to the tolls receivable by this cons-
ca.. ,on a guarantee by the Brighton Company to the there-
in this company of five per cent. per annum on their
share capital, commencing from the Ist of Juse, 1860.
An agreement to carry out the arrangement will have to be
submitted for the formal unction of the shareholders at a
future meeting. "
The engieeer's report states tint tt The progress made with
the works under contract to Mr. Kelk is everything that
could be desired. The bridge across the Thames is suffi-
cleedy advanced to remove all anxiety of Its being any cause
of delay to the °peeing of the railway. In two of the three
plash& the river the foundations have been put in, and the
is considerably advanced towards the springing of
rhe..=. In the third pier the piling for the oeffer•dam is
completed, and in about ten days preparations will be made
for the commencement of the masonry. In the two &bat-
men% the coffer-dams have bees finished several weeks,
and the excavation for the north abutment Is wall edvanted.
The work generally is now receiving the benefit, in ex-
pedition, of the elaborate preparations which have been
made by the contractor in carrying the gantries and tempo-
rary staging completely acme the river. With a trifling
exception. all the maionry required for the colistroction of
the bridge is on the ground sad reedy dreamed. The earth-
work is all completed except a small quantity at the earth
end of the Thames bridge, and part of tee filling of the canal
basis. The retaining well for the canal is oompleted. All
the works are being oarried.ont of sufficient dimensions to
enable the broad gauge to have aeons to the Victoria station."
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which,
having been seconded by Mr. Etc tit, was agreed to.

The sampliirs-gathover se m= no bigger than his
head as we rue upon him balf-voy down the dizzy
etitf ; and the Seer who is always ball-way down
some tremendous abyss which he calls the Fawn,
plies his awful craft almost at a vanishing distance
from ordinary sight ; but as his head is an unozaa-
wooly big one, and is irrupt in perpetual mist, it
looms prodiotionsly in the mid-air of unfulfilled
events. Should it ever be our misfortune to en-
counter an enterprising young man, of lively imagi-
nation, SC bolla to go into the Apocalyptic line, we
should earnestly insist on his sticking to
the supernatural branch of hominess as at
once the sahst and mint lucrative. Gives a tole-
rably advantageous personal appearance, • reason-
able amount of self-esteem, and that pet-alias oiliness
of manner which holy men call " unction," mid we
think we can promise to the fortunate pesomeor of
these qualifications a brilliant career in the pulpit,
and an unusual share of social consideration and
esteem, in feminine circles more especially. There
is something particularly seductive to the " better
" half" of • congregation in the sensation of sitting
under a sleek and curly prophet, who knows the day
and the boor when according to his unerring inter-
pretation of a certain chapter and verse this world
of balls and bonnets is to be burnt up, sad
all things are to pass away. With a liberal discre-
tion he relegates the catastrophe to • date when
the world most have long sines some to an end for
his hearers and himself, sad se the veracity of his
visions is never put to the ineenvonient test of en
engagement falling due. This is easy enough where
the prophet is soaring above the sublunary sphere,
and dispensing mono to which no one but himself
possesses the key; but the political prophet pretends
to none of these advantages, and his preaching is far
more perilous because he is far more liable to be
found out. In politics a taste for prophecy is like
a taste for pickles, and demands ever hotter and
stronger condiments. M. Nfazzirti has been in the
habit of peppering and palling the public appetite
for many years with all sorts of highly spiced cata-
strophes, and, to say the truth, the public digeetiom
is incurably used up, aid Sirs to simpler and more
wholesome food in sheer despair. This is why we
cannot promise to the solemn admonition which we
had the satisfaction of publishing in our yesterday's
impression all the snots, it might otherwise de-
serve. The Brompton Oracle is listened to with
pleased attention, as we listen to the fitful intona-
tions of Big Ben, because of the beauty and solemnity
of the sound, but it has ceased to convince, or even
to alarm.
A letter from M. SlAzzimt is always welcome st
an evidence that the writer is within the London
pest delivery, dreaming dreams in the security of the
subarbs. Hisdevice is Pewaiero ed /slum, and we
cannot but be glad to know that Peaaiero is the
part of the programme which is just now occupying
his leisure hours. As • thinker, and we may joatly
add as a writer, he is so remarkable, and so well
worthy of the hospitality of the English press, that
we could wish he were content to leave Emperors
to justify his maledictions, and statesmen to earn
his contempt, without ever troubling himself in any
other manner to anticipate the verdict of history on
their follies and their crimes. With this proviso we
need sot hesitate to own that he has chosen the ince
meat well for saying his say on the state of Europa,
We cannot at this hour accept the responsibility
of bowing in credulous dismay Loan the terrors he
evokes. Sufficient unto the day ie—we will est My
the evil—but the preparation for the evil, thiceed.

There are certain pimps is H. NI intst's letter
which will not fail to comenand the reluctant assent if
many sober-minded and conservative people who re-
gard the writer as • visionary and dangerous se-
thosiast ; so profound is the 'meanness, so deeply
rooted the suspicion which • sodden war and a Cleft
sodden pesos have created. There are others, as far
example the revelation of what passed at Plomhdrest
which demand a fuller explanation. M. Mstruti
relates in so many words what passed between the
Emperor of the Fitroca and Coast Cavot'a in their
private interviews and coovernatkma last autumn;
sad the upshot is =thing less than the 's-

Tea wary Sootchman who now bade the Great
Beg ie probably the last man in them realms to be
cartied away by an enthusiastic passion for an ideal
standard of human virtue. At hie time of life the
heyday of the blood is cool, sod waits upon the
judgment. The hoary lawyer, who his risen by
shrewdness and perseverance almost superhuman to
the dignified office of watching the sonerience of his
Sovereign after the labour of four score years, is
me the fort of person likely to commit himself, No
dant the pinion for popularity is in some men ex-
sessive, aad the atmosphere of a crowded court in
the provinces is very debilitating, even for the most
vigorous common sense. It is indeed melancholy
to reflect that the elevation of a successful
lawyer to the Bench does not always raise
him above mortal weakness. But still it is pro-
verbial that there are always two aides to a case, and,
therefore, to find • grave Judge of long experience
taking away a respectable man's character on • one-
sided statement is a carious illustration of the maxim,
that even Hones sometimes dozes.
It seems that there lived at Warwick Dome years
ega a solicitor, Mr. EDWARDS. He belonged to •
Ism which, in 1837, failed for the enormous sum
of 143,0001. For their debts the moderate com-
position of one shilling in the pound was paid.
But besides this, the gentleman in gesetion
bad private debts to the amount of MOM
Under these circumstances he retired to Postheill,
where for fifteen years he lived within the precincts
of Holyrood—undistorbed by erediton. Whilst is
Scotland he seems to have met with a rich lady
sawed Woo[., whom he married, assuming her name.
By her death he came into considerable property, and
then returned to Warwickshire. There he employed
himself in managing his property, and amongst
other persons he employed Mr. BATEMAN 110
surveyor. To him he incurred • certain &Mb
which at first he declined to pay, but presently
satisfied. Mr. EDWARDS-WOOD employed the sem
man • second time, and a second dispute WWI&
Again after some difficulty he agreed to pay
this debt, and in fact transmitted the amount as
London, bat by some mistake it never reached the
hands of Mr. BATEMAN'S agent in town, or Mr.'
Willi:467'oN, his solicitor in the country. The slim
was not large, for it did not amount to 901.;
but gill Mr. BATEMAN, WALLINGTON'S client,
wee • poor man, and Wauswarow seems to have
had his doubts about the solvency of Mr. EDWARD& ,
WOOD. WALLINGTON, however, it should be air
sieved, appears to be • highly respectable lawyer
in Warwick. For move than twenty years he hes I
been engaged as a solicitor in that county ; he filled
the office of nader-sheriff during the shrievalty of,
Mr. Lrre, of Shakesperean memory ; and in abort,
be MIL to be a man of the highest professional
character. Amongst other things he told the jury the
other day that be had never issued a writ of copies
seta he did so in the owe of MT. EDWARDS-WOOD.
On that occasion, however, be certainly did so; and
this step was in fact the first which led him into the
disagreeable position from which be has just
escaped.
The money due to BATEMAN not having been psi&
WALLINGTON determined to arrest the debtor. For
this purpose he put the writ into the hands of a
Sheriff's officer, and himself followed Mr. EDWARDS-
WOOD to the Warwick Arms, where he was stop-
ping. It was late at night, and it was therefore diffi-
cult to obtain the money. Mr. EDWARDS-WOOD
exhibited his bsnker's book, which showed •
balance of near 2,0004 He offered a cheque
for the amount of the debt, bet Mr. WALLINGTON
declined to accept it. He said, "If you'll do what ie
"fair to my client I will do all I can to help you
" it appears as though you bad paid the money to
" your agents"—and so he had—" bat it has not
" been received by mire; but if you will do what is
" right to my client, who has been put to consider
" able trouble and expense by the delay and in en-
" deaeonring to find you, I will do my best and take
" your cheque." Mr. WALLINGTON proposed, in
short, that in addition to the debt Mr. EDWARDS-
WOOD should pay 101. to cover the expenses
sad trouble to which BATEMAN had been put.
The memorandum which was to accompany the pay-
ment of this 10/. could not be agreed upon, and nig.
manly Mr. Et•w iens•Woonspent the nigh t iu prison.
Now it was alleged that in insisting upon the pay-
ment of this 10/. and the signing of the memoran-
dum Mr. WALLINGTON had been guilty of extortion.
On the trial at the last assizes some months ago, in
which Mr. Et:mazes-Woof) tiled his attorneys for
this neglect in sot paying to Barmesx the
money transmitted for the purpose, these
facts transpired. Lord CAMFBILL, who tried
the cause, with • natural abhorrence fee everything
that savours of injustice, at once denounced this
.smug attempt to extort money. Mr. WALLING-
Tote, who was in court, and was probably surprised
et the indiscreet zeal of the judge, requested to be
heard in his defence, though, indeed, he was no
party to the Mahe. He was heard—at least partially
—for he was not allowed to tell his whole
story. Bat having told as much as he woe per-
' suited, the LORD Crater JUSTICE of ENGLAND
than delivered himself :—" As a very grave impute-

However, Mr. EDWARDS-WOOD did not fail to
take every advantage of the extra judicial opinion of
the Loan Catty Justus. As soon as the trial was
over, he published a pamphlet, with an account of
the proceedings, and " disclosing," as its title alleged,
" the disgraceful arrest of the plaintiff (RDw.P.D•-

He distributed handbill. and placards throughout the
county of Warwick ; and, in short, did all in his
power to damage the character of Mr. WALLING-
TON. That gentleman, it owns, could endure the
persecution no longer. He brought an action

presiding. After two days' investigation the Judge
summed up. The Jury came to the conclusion
that the allegations of Mr. EDWARDa-WOOD were
malicious libel., and that Mr. WALLINGTON in send-
ing Mr. EDWARDS-WOOD to prison had been actuated
by no vindictive motives. Indeed Chief 'natio'
Erie declared that had be been in Mr. WALLING-
TON'S position be would have followed preeindy the
same course. The result is that Mr. EDWAII:O3-
WOOD has been condemned to pay 7001. by way of
damages.—So expensive seems to be the rani luxury
of a character from one of the highest judicial offi-
cers in these realms.
