Her Araj,sty's first day's journey was completed within
ten or twelva minutes of the expected time, the whole
journey of 399 miles, from Kings-cross to St. Margaret's-
station, having been accomplished within ten hours and a
half.

The way from St. Margaret's station to Holyrood was
lined by the sth Dragoon Guards,' the Royal Artillery,
and Rifle Brigade, the Artillery exhibiting in the park a
battery of six guns, with full equipment of horses and
carriages. An immense throng lined all the way to Holy-
rood. Her Majesty is proverbially fortunate in getting
good weather here, but never did she enter Edinburgh on
a finer evening, or meet a-_happier reception. The hills
were still illuminated by a dazxling sunshine, while the
parks and slopes were animated by a large and loyal
assemblage, and dense lines of faces gazed at. and cheered
the royal party as they passed along
,atidittle more than
walking speed.
The Palace of Holyrool 'was reached in about ten
minutes. Outside, the splendid band of the rifles played
the anthem, and a guard of honour presented:arms. The
High C mstab'es were ranged on both shies of,the portico ,
and within it her M sty was receive Iby the Duke cf
Buccleueh, S'r Benjamin Hall, the Lord Provost, &c.
After a short interval her Majesty and Prince Albcrt
left their apartments,' awl' proceeded in company with
Sir B. Hall to inspect the improvements that are bring
made around the palace, awl :with which her Majesty,
we believe, expressed herself much—gratified A large
extension being made to the palace garden, and various
improvements are likewise being effected within the
palace. p
The dinner parry 'in the evening- only included Sir
Benjamin Hall, in addition to the royal suite.
On Saturday morning her Majesty, Prince 'Albert, and
the royal children left Edinburgh, en route for Balmoral.
About a quarter past nine o'clock the royal party,
attended as they were on Friday, left Holyrood Palace,
and at half-past nine the royal train left the station amid
the cheering of the spectators. The train reached
Sterling about 10.40, Perth at 11.40, and the railway
journey to Blairgowrie was completed at half-past
twelve; the royal party proceeded in post carriages
thence to Balmoral.

The Emperor Napoleon left Paris on Saturday, and

The twenty-third ordinary general meeting of this
company was held in the Clarendon rooms, South John-
street, at twelve o'clock yesterday. The Mayor, Francis
Shand, EEci , presided. Among the shareholders present
were—Messrs. Charles H -Hand, Ale Lander Shand, Edward
Bsnner, Lupton, Byrne, &e.
The Secretary, Mr. Cochrane, read the following
REPORT: 0
Your directors, in their last repo •t, intimated the intention
of the Newry and Enniskillen Company to apply, in unison
willt this company, for ParLatnentary powers to' extend their
line to Armagh, and to form a Sunction of thesarne with this
lin?. Your directors havo now tbs,3 satisfaction ro, report that
such Parliamentary powers have been fully obtaincl, enabling
the Newry and Enniskillen Company to elftend tlltrir line to
Armagh, and this cempany to j rin it, and also to l'ay rails
along the Warrenpoint ffr,ck. Your cotuent will In aa-weci to
an agreement with the Newry and Enniskillen Rills:my for
working your line upon terms and conditions which will be
submitted to the ravenng, Tiro whole of the 5,000 pre-
ference shares, issued artier the resolution If 28t1 February,
1855, hating been taken up, your directom, propose to takes
Powers to convert an additional sum ref £lo,Ctoo' of the out-
standing debenture debt into similar preference shares. _

The eibtattNlA,r said the directors might hay that they
were something in the position of the ancient sculptor,
who, when he was reproachedifor not making [vnter pro-
gress in his work, pointed out that the very eicety of his
operations prevented his progress from being visible and
acknowledged. They had from,an early day bier. engaged
in removing many troubles and difficulties fom the
concern, They found it in the firs; instance crearladen
with chancery suits, of which he believed they had three.
It was weighed down with debts which they had then no
means of aijusting, and he believed money ditEcnities
were harder to get rid of than any other circumstances.
However, he believed they might now, that they had
overcome those difficulties, and so, far adjusted their
affairs that they were in a position to make somethingelike
progress. It had been always the idea in his mind that
their railway was something of an Irish character, for it
seemed to- be centre without terminations. It had ends,
but they were rot practically effective for the uses of the
company. They had now, he veal glad' to say, passed a
bill in Parliament which gave theta full facilities for
working upon the quays of the docks at Warrenpohat, and
enabLd them to join themselves with the railway which was
laid to Armagh He believed this would be highly bene-
ficial to the company. They had, in feet., so far antici-
pated it as to be able to make an agreynent, to which
allusion had been made. with the Newry and Enniskillen
Company, and when they came to read that part, he
thought the shareholders would be fully satisfied that they
were now in a position to expect some return for the
labour and anxiety to which the shareholders had long
been subjected. He did not know that he had anything
further to say, except to congratulate the shareho'ders upon
the progress they had made. Ho therefore moved that the
report just read should bs received an I adopted.
Mr. Lueroe seconded the motion, which was confirmed.
Mr. HoLLAVD moved that a dividend cf 6 per cent, less
income taxf upon the preferential shares be declared.
Me Beater: seconded the motion, which was also
agreed fo.
This concluded the general business, and the meeting
then became special.
Mr. E. Beeresa moved that the directors be empowered to
raise the sum of £lO,OOO, beiog the balance of the sum of
£20,000 authorised to be raised by the resolution of the
company bearing date the 28th February, 1855; by the
creation of 5,000 preference shares at .f2Ter share to be
offered in the first instance to the existing proprietors-
The etatIRMAN observed that this would enable the
directors to absolve the debts of the company and release
them from that pressure which they felt by the renewal of
debentures held by parties who had no other interest in
the coral- any.
. Mr. A. SHOD seconded the tmotion, which was unani-
mously adopted.
Tne SECRErARY (Mr. Cochrane) then read the heads
of agreement with the Newry and Armagh (late tha . New-
ry and Enniskillen Company), they are as Lilo ws :
Tye first agreement provides-
1. That the Enniskillen Company shall immediately bring
down their line to the edge of the Newry Canal.
2. That the cost of constructing the bridges shall be provided
in the first instance by the Enniskillen Company, who shall
take from the Warrenpoint Company, fur one moiety of such
coat, a debenture, payable at two years from the opening of the
junction, with interest at 5 per cep'..

3. That all alterations and extensions at Warrenpoint, and
other improvements of the line,-made svi h the sanction of the
Warrenpoint Company, shalt iu the first instince be paid for
by the Enniskillen Compmy, and, at the expiration of the
proposed lease, taken over by the- Warrenpint Company at a
valuation to be then made.

4. That all expenses incident to the appliceion to the
parliament for the bill, shall be paid by the two companies in
equal moities
The second agreement provides-
1. That the Wafrctipoint Company shall make a- lease of
their lino to the Enniskillen Company, immediately after
parliamentary sanction has btcn obtained by the passing of the
act.

2. That the lease shall be for twenty-one years after the
completion of the Unction, with power to the Tinnilkillen
Company to return the same at the end of fourteen years, on
giving twelve months previous notice.
3. That the rents to be paid.are as follows :—..93,130, first
year; £4,160, second year ; £4,680, third year ; £6,220,
fourth year ; £5,720, fifth, sixth, and seventh years ; and.
£5,733, with half nett pr• fit beyond that sum, for the remainder
of the term. Tie Enniskilen Company dining the term to
keep the rails and all the works connected with the company
in efficient repair, and so to deliver up the same at the expira—
tion of the term. •

4. The Enniskillen Comp'my eff,!etivtlly to work the line
during the term, and to do their utmost to extend the traffic
up,n it.

5. The Enniskillen Company not to underrlet the line without
,be consent of the Warrenpoint Company.
_ _

The CHAIRMIN moved that the dirocws be authorised to
carry out the agreement. _ _ _

Mr. C. HOLLAND seconded the motion. He said it was
evident that, not only would their company be very mach
benefittei by this junction, which would give a certain fixed
dividend to the proprietors—and which he trusted to see
soon completed—but it would likewise very much bens& the
Newry and Arma2h Company. There was every prospect
of Newry becoming what it ought to be—ono of the most
important ports on the east coast of Ireland—and this

lease, he doubtei not, would be the beginning of a new
era for the town of Newry. Their property had now as-
sumed a valae which enabled them to look fc)zward to a
moderate dividend on the capital invested in the line, and
to its assuming in the market the value, which ought to
attach to it.

Mr. LUPTON said, that he could cc,rrobonte all that
had fallen from Mr. Holland in regard to OA advantages
to be derived from the amalgamation: Theo was nothing
in fact for them but it, and when caripleted it would be one
of the best lines in Ireland.

The motion was unanimously adopted..
A SHAREIIOLDEIt asked what divilend would the lease
admit of on the old shares?
Mr. COCIIILANR replied, that they could not state cor-
rectly until they knew the expense a the junction. Trine
would be a dividend the first year, and in the fi 'th year it
would be 15s. on the old shams, and after that also a
participation ilia nrit profits.
