IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The ordinary
half-yearly meeting of the Irish South-Eastern Railway
Was held yesterday, at the Offices, King's Bridge-termi-
ntl3, J. E. Redmond, Esq., in the chair, when the di-
recton' report and statement of accounts were submitted,
ned after some disettision; received and adopted. The
Chairman stated that ho hoped for the strenuous exer-
tions which would ba used by the directors on behalf of
the company
.in order to develop its resources, that an
investment of- capital in its shares would not prove
always unproductive; but would in-the end become highly
profitable. The arrangement with the Great Southern
and Western Company was only to last for one year, and
at the expiration of that period they would be able to
form a better opiniotrof its SUCCOSP, and to adopt such
other measures as might appear best calculated to ad-
vance the interests of the proprietary.
GREAT NORTH (1:?• SCOTLAND RAILWAY.—We un-
derstand that Mr. Anderson (uf Messrs. Adam and An-
derson, Aberdeen) is now in the north, with the view of
forwarding this Great North of Scotland Railway. We
are much gratified to learn that in this county he has
been ifird6essful beyond expectation in the disposal of
stock, a large number-of our most' enterprising farmers
and others:having-taken sbares. We can only express a
hope that the like or even greater success may attend
his exertions throughout his tour, and that ere long the
necessary capital will be subscribed, and the speedy
commencement of this important line of railway ensured.
Oar flitureprosperity depends in no small degree upon
increased and more speedy means of cOmmunioation
with the south. To.all classes and interests this is im-
portant, butto none more so than to agriculturists; and
thcirincredsed interest on behalf of this line is indica-
tive at once of their sagacity and enterprise. We trust
we shall soon be able to say that we are -at least within
sight of the commencement of the Great North.—Elgin
Courant.

opportunity daily to inspect this vessel. The workmen
commenced taking down the coffer dam on Friday after-
noon, in order that the ways which have already been
laid the entire length of the vessel may be carried into
the river, and over which she will be launched. The
,rudder has been hung at her stern, and the whole of her
bottom and sides caulked, and the latter painted. The
decks have been payed with marine glue, and are strongly
put together, and altogether the vessel is constructed in
a superior manner and of the best materials.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Master• Commender IL
W. Allen, left the river this morning for Portsmouth,
for the porpose of being in attendance on the heads of
several of the departments who are about to visit the
ha►bours end defences on the coast and Channel islands.
Tha Black Eagle atesue-vessel, Master-Commander J.
Petley, has been placed under orders to hold herself in
readiness for Thursday next, when it if expected she
will proceed to the other naval ports to be iu attendance
on his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, and other
members of the Board of Admiralty, who intend paying
their official visits to them during the time of the vaca-
tion of Parliament for the Easter holidays.
The following are the vessels of the Royal Navy at

session. Governor Barkly on this occasion delivered a
speech in Which, although he did not conceal the diffi-
culties with which the colony has to contend, owing to
the uncertain and unsatisfactory position of its staple
production, he announced the pleasing fact that the or-
dinary revenue for the latlt year had considerably ex-
ceeded the expenditure of the colony, notwithstanding
extensive reductions iv the tariff sanctioned last year.
The Combined Court had adjourned till the 9th of
March for the purpose of framing a reply to the Go-
vernor's address. A vacancy in the Combined Court
for the representation of Georgetown was being filled
up. The weather had been very favourable to the plan-
ters, but exceedingly sickly for the general com-
munity, many deaths having taken place among the
skipping, the Portuguese, and the newly-arrived
Europeans. The Demerara Royal Gazette announces
the arrival of the barque Lord George Bentiuck and
the Soubadhar, with nearly 600 Coolies from Cal-
cutta. It was understood that eleven vessels had been
engaged on account of the colony for the conveyance of
Coolie immigrantv, and that the number to arrive from
India in the present season will be from 2,500 to 3,000.
Messrs Hyde and Hodge had made proposals to the
Governor to establish a depci on the Kroo Coast of
Africa for the supply of immigrants to the colony, pre-
vided the bounty were raised to 71, a head.
From St Lucia we learn that petitions to both Houses
of Parliament were being prepared by the leading pro-
prietors of the island, praying that a stop may be put to-
further reductions in the duty on sugar the production
of slave labour. Her Majesty's sloop of war Persian
arrived at St. Lucia on the 15th ult.
The Barbadoes Mercury gives the following news from
that island:—

less than 10,000 hogsheads
"From the intelligence we can ascertain, there are
scarcely of -sugar already
manufactured. • The canes in many places are very
green, and it is stated that no less than from 80 to 90
oto improve. An estimate of the crop

Sir John Campbell opened the Legislature of St. Vin-
cent's on the 27th of February, and stated that the usual
term of six years for the administration of colonial go-
vernments having expired, he had received instructions
to continue in office pending the appointment of a suc-
cessor. A Bill was before the Assembly to encourage
the growth of free labour produce, by admitting into the
island, duty free, refined sugar the produce of British
colonies.

working expenses to 7,2971., and, after deducting the in-
terest on borrowed capital, there would be a balance of
12,6561., out of which the directors recommend a divi-
dend of 225. per share. This would leave a sum of
1,2351. to be added to the reserved fund. The revenue
account for six months ended the 29th of February,

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY.—ThIS company,
anxious to concede to the public every possible advantage
of their useful line, opened, in the very centre of Dudley,
some months ago, an office for the reception and dispatch
of parcels to all parts of the United Kingdom, under-
taking more especially, however, their more speedy tran-
sit to Birmingham. The extreme liberality of their
charges, coupled with the punctuality attending their de-
liveries, induce cur present remarks. On inquiry, we
learn that a parcel of half a hundred weight, within two
hours of its delivery at the office, arrives at its destina-
tion in any part of Birmingham, including even the dis-
tant localities of Edgbaston, &c., for the comparatively
trifling charge of sixpence, no farther charge being de-
manded for booking, delivery, &c. Parcels of the weight
at their
of 281bs. each are conveyed at the rate of 4d. each, and
the still greater advantage is that " factors' orders" are
received. at Dudley, conveyed to Birmingham, delivered

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.
On Tuesday (James M. Rendel, Esq., President, in
the chair), the paper read was, " An Account of the
Drainage of the Town of Richmond, Surrey, under the
authority of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers,
in 1851," by Mr. George Donaldson, Asscc. Inst. C. E.
Tho drainage of Richmond, extending over an area of
about 320 acres, was undertaken by the Board in the
year 1849, on the application of some of the principal in-
habitants; when the author was appointed to report on
its then state, and to propose some general plan for its
improvement. At that period, all the sewage was col-
lected into cesspools, the liquid contents of which were
allowed to drain into the earth, causing offensive exha-
lations from its surface, and contaminating the water in
the adjacent wells, from which a large portion of the
house water supply was drawn, whilst the cesspools
themselves were seldom emptied. In many of the
streets, however, there were brick drains, which had
been from time to time constructed, for carrying
1 off the surface and storm waters; but these were not
'deep enough to receive the house drainage, which it
was determined to effect by means of tubular stoneware
pipes, entirely independent of, and separate from,
the brick drains, thus practically carrying out a
system on which very different opinions had
been entertained. At present the outfall of
the sewerage was into the Thames, near the railway
bridge; but eventually a main outfall sewer was to be
constructed to connect Richmond with the general
system of sewerage of the metropolis. The pipe sewers
were about 50,000 feet in length, executed at a cost of
about 7,5001., rather more than half consisting of minor
or branch sewers. The branch pipes, as far as the kerb
of the foot pavement, were laid down at the same time
as the main pipes, each junction being formed at an acute
angle, and so arranged as to receive the drainage of
three houses. Before being laid in the trenches, the
pipes were fitted together and marked, and afterwards
packed solidly round with earth. In some of the wet
sand beds it was considered advisable to lay the pipes on
2-inch deals, four inches deep, fastened to stakes. The
joints were made with well-tempered clay and cement,
-and it was very important that they should be water-
tight, for otherwise one of the chief advantages of pipe
sewers over brick drains would be lost. After their com-
pletion, the pipes were proved, by allowing a flash of
water to pass through each separately for about fifteen
or twenty minutes. All the inlets to the house drains
were trapped with syphons, or bell-traps; and the works
generally had been perfectly successful.
In the discussion which ensued, the comparative
merits of the systems of separating the storm water
from the house sewerage, and of combining them in
large sowers, were argued at great length. It was ad-
mitted that the separate system had not yet been tried
for a sufficient length of time to arrive at definite re-
sults; but, as far as experience had hitherto gone, there
was a general impression in favour of the combined
system in main sewers of brick, not less than four feet
high, in order, not only that men should pass easily up
them, but that they should be able to work in them.
The pipe drains, even of 21 to 24 inches diameter, were
liable to be choked by deposit, and their areas had been
so reduced, even where the separate system had been
employed, that stoppages had continually occurred; thus
proving that the exclusion of road-drift was not entirely
efficacious. It was shown, also, that whenever it was
necessary to cut into the pipe drains, there was great in-
jury from breakage, and they were ultimately more ex-
pensive than brick drains.
Attention was directed to the inaccuracy of ththeepdoibs--
lished experiments of the Board of Health, "

PLYMOUTH, APRIL 3.—Major-General Sir John Rolt,
K.C.B , having been appointed to tho command of the
troops in the western district, and to act as Lieutenant-
Governor of Plymouth, Lieutenant. General the Hon. H.
Murray, C. 8., issued the following district order:—
" In relinquishing the command of the Western Dis-
trict, Lieutenant-General Murray returns his thanks to
the officers, noncommissioned officers, and soldiers for
their good conduct. His acknowledgments are more
especially due to the commanding-officers of corps, and
to the heads of departments, and to the staff, for the
assistance that they have given him in carrying on the
duties of her Majesty's service. There is, however, no
description of troops that have been placed ender his
orders—whether of the Royal Artillery, the Line, the
Royal Marines, the Yeomanry Cavalry, or Enrolled
Pensioners—which has not, according to its opportuni-
ties, discharged its duties to his entire satisfaction. It
cannot be expected that the merit of troops can be seen
in the same conspicuous point of view on the home ser-
vice as it would be on foreign. But there have been
times when the troops in the Western District have been
called upon for the discharge of important duties in the
maintenance of the public peace and the preservation of
public and private property. Upon such occasions not
only have they obtained the commendations of their
military commanders, but have also elicited the un-
qualified praise of the civil authorities for their zeal,
discipline, and forbearance. The Lieutenant-General
has, to the best of his power, promoted the welfare of
those entrusted to his charge, and he takes leave of them
with deep interest in their future success."
