not only combustible things, but even br.cas, stonnkand iron were
burnt up and fused. Safes of the ordinary tried, iron doored strong

They say that before the sending off of the last cir-

was desirous of satisfying herself further upon the
four points before despatching the circular. M.
de Bourqueney will leave Vienna for some weeks
at the end of August. After the end of this month
no more grain will be admitted without duty from
Russian Poland by Snazovra. The Minister of

THIS DAY'S NEWS

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)

The balf-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this
c.Tpany was held this morning at the London Tavern,
Btshopsgate-street ; E. Denison, Esq., M.P.; in the
chair.

The notice convening the meeting was read by the
Secretary, Mr: J. Mowatt. The report and accounts
were taken as read.
The .CHAIRMAN said the number of the proprietors
was less this year by 30) than last year, which showed
the stock was getting into fewer hands, and that the old
proprietors had still confidence in the undertaking.
There were at present 5,843 shareholders. In drawing
up the report in the hands of the shareholders, the
Directors had endeavoured to give all the information
they possessed on every subject connected with the
railway, which rendered it unnecessary for him to de-
tain them with a lengthened speech. :Nothing had been
kept back, nor had they indulged in any high-flown ex-
pectations as to the future state of the traffic. The
Directors were of opinion the property was in a safe
state, and in a sound position. The future prospects
of the company must to a certain extent depend on the
trade of the country, and on the negotiations now going
on with other companies, but of which he could not then
say more than he sincerely hoped and believed they
would be of a beneficial character to the shareholders of
this railway. As soon as these negotiations were brought
to a fixed point it would be the duty of the directors to
call the shareholders together, and inform them of the na-
ture of them. Their dividend, like that of other railways,
was unfortunately smaller than Twiny anticipated,
which arose from the increased price of coke and the in-
crease of interest accumulating against them. He
thought, however, the lowness of dividend was a cir_
cumstance that need not affect their calculations or ex-
pectations as to the value of their property. At the
summer half-year the dividend had always been consi-
dered as an instalment only, and he hoped at the end of
the next half year they would receive as good a
dividend as the last, but he would not pledge
himself to it, because the increase of expenses
complained of would be still accruing against them. He
moved the reception and adoption of the report and
accounts.

FRANCE

. PARIS, FRIDAY.
The Moniteur says :—" The Queen of England
has just. presented the Prince Napoleon with the
Grand Cross of the military Order of the Bath.
Her Majesty has also conferred the same honour•
on General Canrobert It is well known that this
decoration, which is the first order of England,
can only,. be :conferred on foreigners for eminent
military services. Her Majesty has desired, by
this favour given to the Prince and General o:la-
mbert, to testify her appreciation of their services
in the common cause."

His Imperial Highness Prince Jerome Napoleon
whose health haS prevented him from being present,
at the entertainments given by the Emperor to the
Queen of England, will come to Paris on Sunday
to pay his respects to the Queen before her de-
p irture. _ _

- A letter from Boulogne says :—" It appears
to be decided that the Queen of England will
not embark at -this port on her return. The pretty
tent which had been erected for her reception on
landing, and in which she stopped before she got
into the magnificent carriage which the Emperor
had sent -for her, has been removed. It is, how-
ever, said that Queen Victoria will revisit Bou-
logne to be present at some military manoeuvres
which are to take place between Marquise and
Calais. Her Majesty will embark at the latter
plave.'r .
_

We read in the Constitutionne/ :—"An order of
the day of General Pelissier, in announcing to the
troops that, by Imperial decree campaigns will
be reckoned as double for the army of the Crimea,
adds : -

" Soldiers,—ln the midst of the ardent prayers
offered up for you by the country, in presence of the
immense interest which the civilised world takes in the
great mission of the allied armies, these fresh proofs of
the incessant solicitude of the Emperor far his army
of the Ea,t will strengthen your persevering courage in
those glorioti.. works which lead you every day towards
speedy success.' ". _ _ _

The Ist Regiment of the line, fully complete,
has just left Lyons for Marseilles, to embark for
the Crimea. An immense concourse of people
assembled at the railway station, and hailed the
departure of this fine regiment with the most en-
tnusiastic cheers.

The Byzantin and Marocain left Marseilles en
the 21st for. Kamiesh with troops and military
stores for the army of tho East.

LL 4.NIDLOES AND NEWTOWN.

On Thursday the half-yearly meettug of this com-
pany was held at Llanidloes ; Mr. G. H. Whalley in
the chair.

The report congratulated the shareholders on the fact
of an act having been obtained in the last erasion of Par-
liament for the construction of a line from Oswestry to
New-town. The directors were informed that great pro-
Tess had been made in the formation of a line from
Newtown to Machynlleth; and which wou►d secure to
this line the traffic of the South and North-West coasts.
"rhe ilireetors were ansinus to commence the works on
the Llani floes and Newtown line,as soon as possible, but
r hey could not do so until about 15,0001. adlitinnaj'shares
were taken ; and, with the view of facilitating the corn-
menceiro-nt of the works, the direct ,rs proposed shortly
to submit to the owners of land require] for the line•
that they should take out the price f the -anise in share.,
.r accept an annual renteharge in lieu of purchase-money.
The probable local traffic likely to pass over the line was
estimated at nearly 7 per cent. per annum on ,the autho-
rised capital.
The CIIAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
explained the views of the directors with regard to an
extension of the line to. Llandovery, so as to complete
the chain of railway eommunication between the north
and Milford Haven.

The report was then adopted.
Mr. HOPKINS, the engineer, said he estimated the cost
of constructing the works at 48,9001.,, which was only
4,000/. a mile, including bridges, stations, &c. ; the land
was valued at 12,000/. The gradiefits were easy, and
no engineering difficulties whatever would be experienced
in the f,rmi,t'on of the line.

Mr. B. PIERCY explaired the views of the Oswestry
and Newtown Company in reference to the extension of
their Lne from Welshpool to Shrewsbury, and tbeir de-
termination t i proecute the Llarillnes and Llandovery
line, so as to complete the link to Milford.
The proceedings t-rminated with a vote of thanks to
the chairman and directors.

DEARNESS VALLEY.

The first meeting of this company wa; held at York
on Thursday; Mr. Pease in the chair.
The report PtAted that the act of incorpbration received
the royal assent on the 30th of July last; and that it had
been obtained at comparatively little expense and with-
out any Parliamentary contest. The length of the line,
as authorised to be made, is about five miles and five
furlongs, and will cost about 40,000/. The line will pass
over a valuable coalfield,

On the motion of Mr. Leeman, seconded by Mr.
Plews, the report was adopted, the retiring directors
were re-elected, with one exception, and the proceedings
terminated.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The Kars correspondent of the Danube writes
that Schamyl has made another bold stroke with
his usual success. The Russians had lodged nearly
all their prisoners in Tiflis, and at some time in
last month (not stated) they were sent from thence
into the interior of Georgia, but Schamyl attacked
the convoy on the way, and released the whole of
the prisoners.
We learn from Bessarabia that the Russian army
there has been recently considerably reinforced,
and that the troops from the north make a perma-
nent halt at Ismail and Reni. Prince Menschi-
koff has ordered the stoppage of reinforcements,
the armies in the Crimea being already very short
of provisions. It is also rumoured that an expedi-
tion will be sent from the Sulina mouths to attack
Ismail.

The probability is that neither the one nor the
other of these reports contains a word of truth ;
but it seems very likely that the Russians will
make another foray in the Dobrudscha when the
weather will allow of it.
