THE EAST ANGLIAN RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The half-yearly meting MIA held this afternoon,
at the London Tavern ; Mr. H. BRUCE in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report
(which had been previously circulated, and was taken as
read), congratulated the meeting on the improvement which
had taken place in the prospects of the company ; but corn-
plaiued of the high amount of the working espouses. During
the past half-year the mileage run by the Eastern Counties
Company had shown an increase of 010.000, or 11 per cent.,
whereas the increase of receipts had only been 4i per cent.
The increase in the weight of goods and coals carried
hail been 14 per ceut., whereas the increase in
pawner receipta had been only per cent., proving
thus that the company had suffered much from the un-
favourable state of the weather, which bad had so injurious
an effect upon excursion and pleasure traffic. He regretted
also to say that the nest of thieves and vagabonds
about the Eastern Comities line seemed to be yearly
getting worse ; for the amount the company had
had to per by way of compensation for article. loot
during the half-year had been no less than 3,3150/. (Hear.)
The subject of working expenses was, however, occupying
the earned attention of the directors, but the investigation
that was going on had been for the present suspended on
account .f the ill-health of the chairman of the
&Meru Counties. Mr. Bruce then proceeded to discuss at
some length the proposals which had been made with re-
gard to the Hunstanton project.

THE EARL or DEBIT AND THE KNOWSLEY RE-
Keowsley Review Committee, representing the
volunteers of the county, have received the following letter
from the Earl of Derby Knowsley, September 4, 1860.
Dear Colonel Psourne, -I cannot allow the proceedings
connected with the Knowsley review to come to •
close without begging of you to accept for yourself, and
to offer ou my part to all the members of your committee, and
to their malousand efficient secretary, my wannest thanks
for their anxious and persevering exertions in arranging the
multifarious details which had to be considered and
settled. It is mainly to your and their efforts that we
are indebted fur the complete success which I think
I may venture to ray has attended this brilliant county
gathering ; but I ant sure you will moonier voaroelves more
than mita,' for all the trouble you have taken if the result
shall be, as I confidently believe, nut merely the momentary
gratifitatiou of • successful pageant, but an additional
'annulus to the great and important national move-
ment which has already added es greatly to the
military strength of the country.—l am, yours
taithfutly, DERBY. —Lieutanant-Colouel Bourne." The
committee have resolved -" That this committee con-
gratulate the Earl of Derby on the perfect suovas of the
review on Saturday last, and beg to thank his lordship for
11/11 courteous hospitality. That the committee cannot
separate without acknowleelging the valuable assistance
rendered by Captain Humby, R. N., to whew) judicious
arrangements the success of the gathering mail in • great
devee be attributed."
THE CHKINTIANS IN MADAGASCAR. Another
dismal record of persecutions of the native Christians of
MliglapaCar has reached us. The bloodthirsty Queen, who
been tLe scourge of the island for thirty years past,
and has in vain put forth all her power to root out Chris-
tianity from its 001, seems to have renewed her energies in
that Leal cause within the last few years--40411 without suc-
cess. By • @triage self-controliction, she has just put to
death such of her relatives and great officers an would have
perpetuated her diabolical policy towards the Chrietians,
and has thus seemingly secured the sueesinion to her own
sun, who for yearn past has Woe an avowed disciple of the
persecuted religion.—Lredelfereorg.

" EXellaStON TO N A " Yesterday
Captain Hampton came to Mancheeter from Liverpool, and
trade up his quarters at the Clarence Hotel, Spring
Garden", where he had previously announced that
he woeld „receive the names of those gentle-
men who were desirone of joining an • excursion
to Naples.'" The gallant captain was more successful
than his highest Lopes had led him to anticipate, fur
between the hours of ten and live o'clock he enrolled
47 excursionista • greater number than he obtained in
Liverpool during a whole week. With one or two *seep-
twee, the excursionists are Ride Volunteers belonging to
Manche...ter regiments. Claptain Hampton refused all
pplioationa from persons who were not 'ideates, except
in eases where the applicants had undergone a military
truing elsewhere. Several petrol, we believe, applied
to he taken, but were rejected in conmeimence of their
want of military knowledge. As in Liverpool, so in
Malachi-4er, the gallant captain is iu want of foods
for the equipment of his excursion party ; but he trusts to
the libendity of the merchants and manufacturers of
Manchester for the means wherewith to send the Volunteers
to Naples, where Ganhaldi is by this time waiting to wel•
amore them. Captain Hampton leaves Manchester by au
early train this (Tuesday) morning, and redeems to LIM.
