A movement is on foot under very encouraging
auspices to provide railway communication for the district
lying between Exeter and Launceston.
NORTH LONDON RAILWAY--The report of the
directors, to be presented at the thirtieth belf-yearly general
meeting on the 13th instant, states that the traffic of the
railway for the pet half-year has been satisfactory. The
receipts, compared with those of the corresponding period
of 1860, show an increase, as follows :—Passengers, 1,582/. ;
goods., 7081. • coals, 106/. Total increase, 2,396/. The
balance available for dividend, after providing for interest
on the debenture debt, is 26,718/. 6s. 11d. The directors
recommend the declaration of • dividend at the rate of five
per cent. per annum, for the six months ending 30th Jane.
The sum of 472/. Is. lid. will remain, after such payment,
to be carried forward to the current half-year. The total
expenditure is very nearly the same as that incurred in
the corresponding six mouths of 1860, whilst the works and
rolling stock have been maintained in • state of thorough
efficiency. The bills promoted by the coronary in prim-
mest, for the construction of a branch railway from Kings-
land to Broad-street in the City, and for widening it found
necessary • portion of the existing railway, have both
received the royal assent. The mode in which it will be
expedient to raise the capital for these undertakings is
now under the careful consideration of the directors ; and
they propose to submit for the sanction of the proprietors,
at • meeting to be called specially for the purpose as woo as
circumatanoes will permit, the conclusions to which they
may come upon this point. But they avail themselves of
this opportunity to express their strong conviction, that
the position of the company bas been greatly strengthened
and improved by the powers which parliament have con-

Mg testimonial has been made to the captain and crew of
an Italian vessel for assistance rendered by them to an
English vessel ilia ease of emergency:—" We, the ciptain and
crew of the Venilia, of Yarmouth, desire to give publicity,
through your widely-circulated journal, to the gallant conduct
and valuable assistance we received from Captain N. Repetto
and crew of the Italian barque Anisette (now at Liverpool),
under circumstances of most imminent danger. When about
300 miles from the River Plate, the Venilia was thoroughly
disabled, pumps choked, with five feet of water in her hold,
in consequence of being caught in a hurricane and other
stormy weather, and in • foundering state, when we were
rescued by the Austell*, and this was effected not without
some danger, and some damage to the latter vessel. We
hereby beg to tender our sincere and heartfelt thanks to
Captain h. Repetto, his officers and crew, for their kind and
humane reception stud treatment on board the Austell& for
upwards of two months, as, besides food, we were also pro-
vided with clothing, he., by our generous preservers, the
Venilia having foundered before our clothing or anything
else on board could be saved. For self, owners, and crew,
