This morning Mr. Peake, the Chief Clerk in g:

to inspect the books and papers of this company at the :
instance of a large number of shareholders whom they Is.
represented. 10

THE LATE DR. WARDER AND HIS CHILDBEN.Iet.

PROCEEDINGS IN CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) rt.
An application wee made to Mr. Peake, the at
chief clerk of Vies. Chancellor Stuart, this morning, to ft.
appoint Miss Gunning guardian to the four children of the to
late Dr. Warder, who committed suicide at Brighton, sad
who had protented to Miss Gunning a large sum of money to
for his children. Si.
The Chief Clerk asked the urgency of the application. S,t:
It was stated by a gentleman from the office of Messrs.
Palmer, Eland, and Nettleship, that a memorial would be
presented to the crown, that the property left by Dr.
Warder, and which bad become forfeited by his family, &-
might be restored to his children. The crown had already
wi
given up its claim to the sum handed over to Miss Gun-
ning, and it was hoped, under the painful circumstances, is
that the whole property and sums now involved in the io
chancery suit would be given up.
The Chief Clerk expressed his desire to render all the too
assistance in his power, but on learning that three of the 9,
children were abroad, stated that the court had no juris-
diction until they were brought over to England. toe
It appeared that one of the daughters was engaged to be Si.
married. Dr. Warder died intestate, and property left Sf.
could give a fortune to each. It woe said that Vice Chan- 3t.„„
cellor Wood had appointed a guardian to the children top
abroad. too
The Chief Clerk said be would mention the cue to the we
judge next week. too

SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.

The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of uu
proprietors wee held at noon to-day, at the Bridge-houes
Hotel, London-bridge; Mr. E. W. Warms, M.P. (chair. zit
man of the company), presiding. The meeting w. (
chair. thinly ft,
at
attended, not 50 shareholders being present.
The repo., an abstract of which has already appeared, !.(1
was taken asread. It stated the income for the half-year WI
at 658,6961. (including 290.1VA1. , the receipts for steam-boat
tW
traffic), as compared with 630,4341. for the oorresPolkding ro
period of 1865. Out of the available balance of 111,1601. os
the directors recommended a dividend at the rate of
21. 17s. 6d. per cent., leaving a balance of 1,3961. 19s. 21„
to be carried forward.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. He St*
observed that there was an increase of traffic on the half lop
year of 23,01-4.. and in the working expenses of 5,2661. reo
The increased traffic had been earned, therefore, xpon an Bt.
expenditure of 25 per cent —that was to say, that every 11. M
received had given a net profit of 15s. (Cheers.) And it
must be remembered that there hadbeen various Mff names at sr
work to moderate the traffic, the continental war and
the apprehensions and disturbance preceding it, the severe
pressure in the money market, and the existence of
cholera in London. Nevertheless the company, had been -
able to make up in the short and excursion traffic
for the diminution in the long traffic. There had
been a satisfactory increase in psasengers goods,
and, indeed, in every department. The increase
the price of labour and materials had also operated un-
favourably agoinst the company. The whole of the com-
pensation arising from the accidents of last year had now
been settled, and they had cleared off that enormous drain
upon their resources. The question of the claims
arising from accidents reciulred the attention of every
shareholder and some joint action on the part
of the railway companies. On the lit of September
the Cannon-street line and station and the Dartford line
of 11 miles would be opened, and reckoning the
working expenses at 25 per sent., he calculated
that these additioas would earn a dividend of
4) per cent. allowing for compensations and all
contingencies. The whole of the reeewale and restora-
tions and improvements of works had been debited to
revenue. A very large increase in traffic had resulted from
their being able to bring pluralists to one of the beat
positions in London at Charing-cross,, and they might
anticipate a similar effect from the opening of the Cannon-
street station. As showing the value of the Cannon-
street station he mentioned that the South Western Com-
pany had proposed to pay them a minimum
rental of 30,0004 for its use, bat be was glad that no
arrangement of the kind bad been oome to. The two sta-
tions at Charing-cross and Cannon-street could not, in
consequence of the enhanced value of property in their
neighbourhood, be doubled ; the South Eastern Company
held, therefore, a monopoly of these important pwitrons,
and when their value had been practically illus-
trated would be the tins, to negotiate with
other companies who desired access to them. They
were in an infinitely better position than the Brighton
Company, which had been deseribed aeons of the soundest
of railway undertakings. As to the new line to Brighton,
be believed that it ought to be made, and would pay when
it was ; but the directors thought that the company re-
quired rest, and that it would not be fair or pru-
dent that they should enter upon the work for
another year. The subject, however, would then
be brought before the shareholders with a recommendation
from the board as to the manner in whichthe line should be
vigorously proceeded with. The directors had the most
anxious desire to promote good feeling with the London
and Brighton Company, and a negotiation had been en-
tered into which lied resulted is a draft agreement,
dated the 27th of the meant month, and signed
by himself and Mr. Laurie (the chairman of the
Brighton Company), to the effect that neither comvny
should give notice of application to parliament next
amnion for any new line which would be hostile to or pre-
judicial to the interests of the other. (Cheers.)
The motion was unanimously agreed to without any dis-
cussion. and the dividend was declared payable on the 6th
September.
The meeting was then made special, to eon/rider the
heads of agreement between the South Western Company,
the London and North Western Railway Company, and
the North Western and Charingaross Com and also
an agreement between the London and North pa Western and
South Eastern Companies for an interchange of traffic
between their respective systems of railways.
The agreements were approved and the heather eon-
eluded with a cordial vote of thanks to the Chairmen.

Lairs-HOUSES IN ENGLAND. --Sped*" places of
refuge for the sufferers from leprosy were provided through-
out England by the abounding dimity of the middle ages, at
which period this terrible disease appears to have reached
in Europe its culminating point of intensity. Lazar-houses
sprang up on all sides with marvellous rapidity to meet
the necessities of the time. In moat of the principal towns
of the kingdom there was one or more of these institutions:
in Norwich there were five ; in London, six ; all of them
sppefring to have been subject to the heed of the great
hospital of Berton Users as their ehiel.—fferiffeinan's
