motives l'o those landowners and residents in the
locality who co-operated with the South-Western.
It could not be denied that the line to Exeter would
bring a considerable addition of traffic, passing as it did
through ten towns, giving a direct communication with
London, and connecting the important towns of Salis-
bury, Portsmouth, Southampton, and B righton with the
west. (ILL ar.) Of course, as a large expenditure would
have to be incurred by the South-Western Company, it
~as not unreasonable to take in a partner on moderate
terms, who should assist in making the extension to
Exeter. It was proposed, as he before said, that the in-
dependent portion of the capital should take the first
share of the new revenue up to 4 per cent., which was
the ordinary rate of interest. There was really no ground
fur elarin at the risk attached to their part of the under.
taking. Then as to the question of aggression. Did
not the Great Western go round by Swindon to aeo.,m-
modate Cheltenham, Gloucester, arid the other towns in
that locality, end had they not by so doing left the fifty
mates across to the southern coast altogether un-
provided fur ? The South-Western, adopting the
lilac principle, had marked their course to Basingstoke,
their intention being to include Salisbury and that other
portion of country which remained open to them. Be-
sides, Parliament had already conceded the district to
the company, and all that remained to be done was to
get it into their possession. Having given the subject
some attention, he was convinced that the line would
pay a clear 6 per cent., which it was proposed to add
to the joint concern from Salisbury to Exeter. If he
took the revenue at 1,0001. per mile a year, which was
not an extravagant calculation, the result would bo that
a clear 81. would be added to the exchequer 'of the
company. On referring to the weekly returns of all the
railways in the kingdom, he found that only five yielded
less than 201, a week. The chairman concluded after
some further observations in regard to tho defensive
policy pursued by the board.
Atter a slight interruption,
The Cuantatata moved a resolution sanctioning the
proposed scheme.
Mr. Rain seconded the motion.'"

:,,•

The question was then put by the chairman, when a
very small number of hands was exhibited in favour of
the proposition of the directors, and at least four fifths
of the meeting voted against it. Amid the cheering
with which the result was hailed General Aitchison de-
manded a poll.
Thanks having b2en voted to the Chairman, and also
to the directors, on whose behalf Mr. Serjeaut GazAce
retuned thanks, the meeting separated.
The poll, which waa kept open for two hottrs after the
termination of the meeting, will be resumed this (Wed-
nesday) morning at 10 o'clock, and will finally close et
4in the afternoon. The result of the polling will be
declared on Saturday, at noon.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.
TO THE EDITOR or THE sUN.
SIR,—I was prevented by the outcries of several share-
holders at the special general meeting held to day at the
London Tavern, from stating certain figures which I was
called upon to do by the chairman, which figures were
essential to an understanding of the point under the con-
sideration of the meeting. I therefore consider it my
duty to the proprietors who pay me, and whom I have
the honour to serve, to state what those figures were.
The questions I was ordered to answer were two,-
1. Was there ever laid before the board a statistical
computation of the traffic which the proposed central
tine, if made, would subtract from the present Dorchester
and Southampton line?
2. What is the annual amount of the traffic at the
Salisbury and Dorchester stations which would bo placed
in jeopardy by the plans of the Groat Western Railway
Company now in active progress?
The reply to the first question is,—
That the traffic on the present line from Dorchester
and Southampton, now taken at the Dorchester station,
is 40,0001, per annum.
That this will be reduced by half, and thus reduced to
20,0001. per annum, by the Great Western Company's
‘V ilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, about to be com-
pleted. _

Mr. MORTIMER said it would be remembered that a;
the last meeting he mentioned that Mr. Locke had been
to the Great Western Railway Company and offered the
proposed line to them, and that they had refused it.
Mr. Locke had since pronounced that statement to be
untrue, but he believed Mr. Locke was now ready to
admit that he had the authority for making his state-
ment. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LOCKE said that was so. Mr. Mortimer had the
authority of Mr. Saunders for making his statement,
but Mr. Saunders was in error when he made the re-
presentation complained of.
Mr. HEREPATH wished to know if it really was true
that the Great Western Company had been in the field.
Mr. LOCKE repeated that it was. The Bristol and
Exeter Company, he was informed, were preparing their
plans for it. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. MORTIMER then proceeded to address the meeting
in opposition to the resolution, believing that in hurrying
atter this shadow of a line, they were going in a fair
way to lose the substance of their old line. (Hear, hear).
The heart of the old lino was Southampton, and
the line to Dorcester and Salisbury, were merely
taken as tributaries, and if the prepared line
were made it would benefit the branches, but not the
main line. (Hear, hear.) Now a line of that nature
was not worth the expense of making it; and he warned
the shareholders that if they were wise they would con-
flue their attention to accommodating the overgrown
traffic of Southampton. (Hoar, hear.) Make this line,
and they would put the Great Western Company in a
portion to get at the South Western Southampton
traffic; but if they ought to extend their main line
at all they ought to turn their attention to extending
the Dorchester line to Exeter. (Hear, hear). That would
bring traffic over the whole of their main line, but if they
adopted the Salisbury and Exeter scheme, it would be
tantamount to introducine a competing line to the South-
ampton line, as between Southampton and Basingstoke
(Hear, bear) He complained of the letter which the
Chairman had issued to the shareholders ; it was con-
trary to etiquette to issue such a letter. But, besides,
the letter contained inaccuracies ; and he was afraid
that as many proxies had been given on the strength of
the letter. He was very much afraid the letter would do
them a serious injury. (Hear, hear.) It led the share-
holder to believe that this proposed new line would yield
6 per cent.; but that calculation was based upon erro-
neous data. (Hear, hear.) As the arrangement now
stood, the landowners would get 4 per cent., even if the
line did not pay its working expenses, and he could not
help feeling that the letter was a most fallacious docu-
ment. It was the custom of the Board of Directors not
to record the protests of the minority on the board in
the journals of the Company, and as he was in a mino-
rity in this question at the Board he had no other alter-
native but to protest against it now. (Hoar, hear.) He
complained of the conduct of oertaia of the directors, in
lending their names to new,themes, and, called upon
the shareholders to discruntenatee the practice, because
it brought them into unfriendly contact both with the
Great Western, and the London and North Western
Companies, who had already remonstrated against it.
(Hear, hear).
Mr. REID, a director, contended that it was a false
policy for this company to stand still or withhold its
support from a scheme which, if carried out, would act
as feeding branches to their main line.
Mr. CASTLEMAIN wished to know from the Secretary
deny table had been prepared showing what would be
the effect of these new lines upon the Dorchester Line.
The SECRETARY replied in the affirmative.
Mr. CASTLEMAIE asked what was the result of that
calculation.
The SECRETARY said the present traffic from Dorches-
ter yielded 40,000/. a-year. When the Wilts, Somerset,
and Weymouth Line should be opened, it would abstract
20.000/. of that; while, if this proposed Central Line was
carried out, it would have the effect of drawing back
10,000/. of that 20,0001. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CASTLEMAINE spoke at some length in support of
the extension from Dorchester to Exeter. He referred
to the various agreements entered into since 1844 be-
tween the South-Western and other companies, and ob-
served that he thought some amicable arrangement
might be made between the South-Western and Great-
Western Companies, to the advantage of both. He be-
lieved, from information given to him by officers of this
company, that before long they would have to expend
some 200,0001, upon the station at Southampton, and an
expenditure of at least 250,0001. would be necessary to
render the Waterloo station suitable for their traffic. If,
then, they had to go into the market to raise 1,000,000/.,
instead of 500,0001., upon what terms were they likely
to obtain such an amount? Mr. Castlemaine concluded
by proposing, as an amendment, a resolution declaring
the opinion of the meeting that the proposition of the
directors ought not to be carried out, but that measures
should be taken to complete the coast lino from Dor-
chester to Exeter. This amendment was, however, sub-
sequently withdrawn
Mr. WOOD believed the proposed line from Salisbury
to Exeter would not pay its expenses. The Brighton
line, with all its advantages, only paid 4i per cent., and
was it likely that this projected new lino would yield 6
per cent.? (Hear, hear.) He did not believe it would
return more than 2 per cent. Mr. Wood then proceeded
to advocate the extension of the line from Dorchester to
Exeter, and stated that the as so little traffic on the
,issa
proposed line between Salisbu nd Exeter, that he did
not think it eossible any railw y in that district could
prove remunerative.
After a desultory discussion, in which Mr. SNELL,
Captain Moonsose, Mr. HERAPATII, and Mr. EAGLES•
FIELD took part,
General AITCHISON observed, that he thought they
were consuming time very unnecessarily, and suggested
that the meeting should at once proceed to a vote.
(This recommendation was received with much applause.)
Mr. HELPS said, that no new scheme could be forced
down the throats of the shareholders unless it was ap-
proved by three-fourths of the persons who voted—
(" Hear,' and cheers)—and he wished to asked what
number of proxies had been received for and against the
proposition of the directors?
The SECRETARY replied that the number of proxies
received was—in favour of the line from Salisbury to
Exeter, 11,237 votes; against it, 10,563 votes. (Loud and
continued cheers, and slight hissing.) The majority of
votes in favour of carrying the line from Salisbury to
Exeter, was therefore 674. (Renewed cheers.) Tho
number of voters was—for the line from Salisbury to
Exeter, 784; against it, 725; majority for the Salisbury
and Exeter line, 59. (Cheers.)
A PROPRIETOR (to the Chairman).—Well, after that
statement, how can you expect the bill to be carried?
(Laughter and cheers.)
Mr. LOCKE then rose .. the body of the room
to address the meeting 'tit was met by a storm
el' groans and shouts of " Divide," which completely
drowned his voice. After endeavouring, unsuccessfully,
for some minutes, to make himself heard. the chairman
interposed, and, with great difficulty, restored something
like order. Mr. Locke having propitiated the clamourers
for a division by stating that he would not trespass
on their attention for more than two or three minutes,
proceeded to say, that some eighteen months ago, he, in
connexion with a body of landowners, had applied to
the Souths Western Company to undertake the con-
struction of a railway between Salisbury and Exeter,
offering such securities as be would answer to say had
never been tendered before in any part of England.
They had offered to sell their land at agricultural
prices—even at less than agricultural prices (laughter,

That the proposed central line from Salisbury to
Exeter by whomever 'it is constructed, will probably re-
duce the remaining Dorchester station traffic by one-half.
So that the Wilts and Somerset line having reduced the
present traffic of this company at Dorcester from
40,0001. to 20,0001,, the central line would reduce this
20,0001. to 10,0001. per annum ; the whole reduction at
Dorcester, would probably be thus from 40,0004 to
10,0001, per annum, or a loss of 30,0001. per annum.
This is the reply to the first question.
The reply to the second question is,—
That the traffic in and out of the Salisbury and Dor-
cester stations together, for the 12 months ending the
30th of June, 1852, was 80,9551.
Of this amount that portion which was from traffic to
and from London is 53,4291. Of this 40,0004 would
probably be subtracted by the Great Western Railway
Company's line entitled the Wilts and Somerset line,
now in operation, if this company remain passive.
Having now discharged what I consider to be my duty
to my 4,000 paymasters, the proprietors of this line,
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,

rections which may be'given in any particular case.
27. The priginal examination and depositions of par-
ties and witnesses taken by or before the chief clerk,

chief clerks or registrars are to be entered in the same
manner and in the same office as orders made in open
court are entered.
29. Where any account is directed to be taken, the
accounting party is, unless the judge shall otherwise di-
rec, to make out his account and verify the same by
salavit. The items on each side of the account are to
be numbered consecutively, and the account is to be re-
ferred to by the affidavit as an exhibit, and to be left at
the judge's chambers.
30. Any party seeking to charge any accounting party
beyond what ho has by his account admitted to have re-
ceived, is to give notice thereof to the accounting party,
stating, so far as he is able, the amount sought to be
charged, and the particulars thereof, in a short and suc-
cinct manner.

not to be annexed to it.

32. W hen a receivership has been completed, the book
containing the accounts is to be deposited in the Record
and Writ-office.

33. Where advertisements are required for any pur-
pose, a peremptory and only one is to be issued, unless
for any special reason it may be thought necessary to
issue a second advertisement or further advertisements;
and any advertisement may be repeated as many times
and in such papers as may be directed.
34. The advertisements are to be prepared by the so-
licitor, and submitted to the chief clerk for approval, and
when approved, are to be signed by him, and such sig-
nature is to be sufficient authority to the printer of the
Gazette to insert same. _ _

35. Advertisements for creditors or other claimants
are to fix a time for the creditors or claimants to come
in and prove their claims, and to appoint a day for the
hearing and adjudicating thereon, and may be in a form

orders, with such variations as the circumstances of the
case may require.
36. Claimants coming in pursuant to advertisement are
to enter their claims at the chambers of the judge in the
" summons and appointment book," for the day ap-

notice thereof, and of the affidavits filed, to the solicitors
in the cause, within the time specified in the advertise-
meut for bringing in claims.
37. The claimants filing affidavits are not to be re-
quired to take office copies; but the party prosecuting
the cause or matter is to take office copies, and produce
the same at the hearing, unless otherwise ordered in
chambers.

38. If on the day appointed for hearing the claims
there are any then not disposed of, an adjournment day
for bearing such claims is to be fixed; and where further
evidence is to be adduced, a time may be named within
which the evidence on both sides is to be closed, and
directions may be given as to the mode in which such
evidence is to be adduced.
39. Any claimant who has not before entered his
claim may be heard on such adjournment day, provided
he enters his claim and files his affidavit four clear days
prior to such day, and no certificate of debts or claims
shall in the meantime have been made.
40. Creditors claiming debts not exceeding 5/. need
not attend on the day of hearing, unless required to do
so by notice from some party.
41. After the time fixed by the advertisement, no
claims are to be received except as before provided, in
case of an adjournment, unless the judge at chambers
shall think fit to give special leave, upon application
made by summons, and then upon such terms and con-
ditions as to costs and otherwise as the judge shall think
fit.
42. A list of all claims allowed shall, when required
by the judge, be made out and left in the judge's cham-
bers by the party prosecuting the order.
43. In cases where the court directs any computation
of interest, or the apportionment of any fund, which is
to be acted upon by the accountant-general or other
person without any further order from the court, the or-
der to be made by the court may direct such computa-
tion or apportionment to be made by one of the chief
clerks attached to the court of such judge, and may
direct the certificate thereof, signed by such chief clerk,
to lx) acted upon accordingly, without the same being
signed and adopted by the judge.
44. Where an account has been directed, the certificate
or report is to state the result of such account, and not to
set the same out by way of schedule, but is to refer to the
account verified by the affidavit filed, and to specify by
the numbers attached t,) the it, ms in the account, which,

if any, of ouch-items have been disallowed cr varied, and
to state what additions, if any, have been made by way
of surcharge. In any case in which the account verified
by the affidavit has been so altered, that it is necessary

ficates may be approved and signed by the judge without
delay, and upon being so signed are to be filed and forth-

THE FRENCH EMPIRE. —lt IS now certain that
Louis Napoleon will be very shortly Emperor of the French..
What course ought England to take on the completion of
that event? It must be admitted that sho is in a position of
no ordinary difficulty. We are bound to treat wi us
th Rsia,
Austria, and Prussia, not to allow any one of the family of
Bonaparte to be the supreme ruler of ra3nce.. Nevertheless,
we have recognised Louis Napoleon as 1 resident of the Re-
public. A President of a Republic can hardly be considered
as " supreme ruler " of a. state. Not so the Emperor Or
Sovereign of a people. It is earnestly to be hoped, that our
present Foreign Secretary may be able to prevail upon our
allies to waive the obligations of the treaty ; nor, after the
declaration of the PreiTolent, that " L'Empire c'est paix,"
would it probably b 9 difficult to obtain from him such an
authoritative recognition of the validity of the treaties of
Vienna, as would go far to persuade those antics to put aside,
for the present, the enforcement of this peculiar obligation.
