PUBLIC ADVANTAGES OF A GREAT TRADE.
MOSES and SON'S business is the surest
E. illustration of the above ;at the present time they are in
possession of an immense Stock of MATERIALS, embracing every
novelty of the season, ordered from the earliest samples produced
by all the famous manufacturers in the world, and supplied to E.
MOSES and SON at prices on which considerable advances have since
been made. From this circumstance the Public will derive the advan-
tage of CIIEAP WINTER CLOTHING. From the magnitude of E.
MOSES and SON'S trade, the Public is also presented w th every
novelty in style, and every invention, associating Elegance and
Comfort, amongst which is the CLIFTON • WRAPPER, excla-
tively the production of E. MOSES and SON.; This neat and gen-
tlemanly., article of attire may be worn as a COAT or OVERCOAT ;
the peculiarity .of its cut renders it easy, and other admirable ar-
rangements entitle it to rank with their other conspicuous novelties

motives 1:o those landowners and residents in the
locality who cooperated 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, end Brighton with the
west. (11, tar.) Of course, as a large expenditure would
have to be incurred by the South-Western Coml,any, it
was 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 et 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
for alarm 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 aceem-
modiste Cheltenham, Gloucester, and the other towns in
that locality, and had they not by so doing left the tie.),
miles across to the southern coast altwether un-
provided for ? The South-Western, a (reining the
like principle, had marked their coarse to Basingstoke,
their intention being to include Salisbury and that other
portion of country which remained open to them. Be-
sides, Parliament hail 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 be that
a clear 8/. 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 20/. a week. The chairman concluded after
soma, further observations in regard to the defensive
policy pursued by the beard:
Atter a slight interruption,
The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution sanctioning the
proposed scheme.
Mr. REID seconded the motion.
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 bad 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
after 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 line 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-
fine their attention to accommodating the overgrown
traffic of Southampton, (Hear, hear.) Make this line,
and they would put the Great Western Company in a
postion 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 introducin ! a competing line to the South-
ampton line, as between Southampton and Basingstoke
(Hear, hear). He complained of the letter which the
Chairman had issued to the shareholders; it was con-
trary to eticriette 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 now 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. (Hear, hear.) He
complained of the conduct of certain of the directors, in
lending their names to new schemes, and; called
.upon
the shareholders to discountenance 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. Rein, 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
if any 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. CASTLEMAIN 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
10,0001. of that 20,0001. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CASTLEMAINE spoke at SOMP 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 200,000/, 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 line 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 line would yield 6
per cent.? (Hear, hear.) He did not believe it wo
dad
uld
return more than 2 per cent. Mr. Wood then pocee
to advocate the extension of the line from Dorchester to
Exeter, and stated that there was so little traffic on the
proposed line between Salisbury and Exeter, that he did
not think it possible any railway in that district could
prove remunerative.
After a desultory discussion, in which Mr. SNELL,
Captain MOORSOM, Mr. HERAPATH, 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 WB3 received with much applause.)
Mr. HELPS said, that no new scheme could bo 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 lino 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.) The
number of voters was—for the line from Salisbury to
Exeter, 784; against it, 7e5; 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. Locnn then rose in the body of the room
to address the meeting, 'but was met by a storm
o': 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. Lucke having propitiated the clamourers
for a division by stating that he would not trespass
on their attention fur 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 South-Western Company to undertake the
cries Pscon-
struction of a railway between Salisbury and Exeter,
offering such securities as he would answer to say had

Parliament in 1848, would be beneficial to the by

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 ben voted to the Chairian, and also
to the directors, on whose behalf Mr...Se sant GszAte
returned thanks, the meeting separated...
The poll, which was kept open for two hsr.rs after the
termination of the meeting, will be resumed this (Wed-

4in the afternoon. The result of the polling will be
ducLired on Saturday, at noon.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I was prevented by the outcries of several share-
holders at the special general meeting hold to day at the
14,?ndon Tavein, 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 eon-
sideration of the meeting. .1 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
line, if made, would subtract from the psesent Dorchester
and Southampton line?
2. What is the annual amount of the traffic at the
Salisbury and Dorchester stations which would be placed
in jeopardy by the plans of the Great 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, andonkredueed
20,0001. per annum, ay the Great Western Company's
Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, about to be com-
pleted.
That the proposed central line from Salisbury to
Exeter by whomever it is constructed, will probably re-
duce the remaining Dorchester statics 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 20,000/., the central line would reduce this
20,0001. to 10,0001. per annum ; the whole reduction at
Dorcester, would probably be thus from 40,0001. 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 mouths ending the
30th of Juno, 1852, was 80,9551. _ _

considerema to be my duty
Of this amount that portion which was from traffic to
and from London is 53,4291. Of this 40,0004 would
on in passive.
of this line,
probably be subtracted by the Great Western Railway
Company's line entitled the Wilts and Somerset line,

That all and overt' the orders, rules, and directions,
hereinafter set forth, shall henceforth be, and for all
Purposes bo deemed and taken to be, general orders and
rules of the High Court of Chancery, viz.—

[PRICE SD.

witnesses before the examiner, subject to any special di-
rections which may be given in any particular case.
27. The original examination and depositions of par-
ties and witnesses taken by or before the chief clerk,
authenticated by his signature, are to be transmitted by
him to the Record and Writ-office, to be there filed, and
any party to the suit or proceeding may have a copy
thereof, or of any part or portion thereof, upon payment
of the proper fee.
28. All orders made in chambers, end drawn up by the
chief clerks or registrars are to be entered in the cams
manner and in the same office as eiders made in open

29. Where any account is directed to bo taken, the
accounting party is, unless the judge shall otherwise di-
rect, to make out his slceount and verify the same by
affidavit. The items on each side of tho account are to
be numbered consecutively, and the account is to be re-
ferred to by the affidavit us 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.

31. Upon a receiver's account being left in the judge's
chambers to be passed, a summons to proceed thereon is
to be taken out ; and the account, when passed, is to be
entered by the solicitor of the receiver in books, in the
same manner as heretofore; but the affidavit verifying
the account so passed is to refer to it as au exhibit, and
not to be annexed to it.

32. When 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 secanfLadvectisement 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
similar to the form set forth in schedule D to these
orders, with such variations as the circumstances of the
case may require.

36. daimiints 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-
pointed for hearing by the advertisement, and aro to give
notice thereof, and of the affidavits filed, to the solicitors
in the cause, within the time specified in the advertise-
ment 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 hearing such claims is to be fixed; and where farther
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 51. 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 hief clerk,
to be 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 to the items in the account, whicb,
it any, of such items have been disallowed or 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
to have a fair transcript of the account as altered, such
transcript may be required to be made by the solicit();
pro.ecuting the order, and is then to be referred to by
the certificate or report. The accounts and the tran-
scripts, if any, referred to by certificates or reports, are
to be filed therewith, but no copies thereof are to be re-
quired to be taken by any:party.
45. The certificates or reports to be made by the chief
clerk to the judge are not, except the special circum-
stances of the case shall render it necessary, to set out
the order or any documents or evidence or reasons, but
are to refer to the order, documents and evidence, or
particular paragraphs thereof, so that it may appear upon
what the result stated in any such certificate or report is
founded.

46. The certificate of the chief clerk to the judge may
bo in a form similar to the form set forth in the sche-
dule E to these orders, with such variations as the cir-
cumstances of the case may require, and, when pre-
pared and settled, it is to be transcribed by the solicitor
prosecuting the proceedings in such form and within such
time as the chief clerk shall require, and is then to be
signed by the chief clerk at an adjournment to be made
for that purpose. But whore, from the nature of the
case, the certificate can be drawn and copied in cham-
bers whilst the parties are present before the chief clerk,
the same shall be then completed and signed by him
without any adjournment.
47. The time within which any party is to be at liberty
to take the opinion of the judge upon any proceeding
which shall have been concluded, but as to which the
certificate or report of a chief clerk shall not have been
signed and adopted by the judge, is to be four clear days
alter the certificate or report shall have been signed by
the chief clerk.
48. Any party desiring to take the opinion of the
judge, as mentioned in the last preceding rule, is, within
four clear days after the certificate or report shall have
been signed by the chief clerk, to obtain a summons for
such purpose.
49. At the expiration of four clear days after the cer-
tificate or report shall have been signed by the chief
clerk, if no party has in the meantime obtained a sum-
mons to take the opinion of the judge thereon, the chief
clerk is to submit the certificate or report to the judge
for his approval, and the judge may thereupon, if be ap-
prove the same, sign such certificate or report in testi-
mony of his adoption thereof, as follows:—" Approved

certificates on passing receivers' accounts. Such certi-
ficates may be approved and signed by the judge without

with acted upon.
54. A register is to be kept of all proceedings in the

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.—It 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 she is in a position of
no ordinary difficulty. We are bound to treat with Russia,
Austria, and Prussia, not to allow any one of the family of
Bonaparte to be the supreme ruler of France. Nevertheless,
we have recognised Louis Napoleon asPresident 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 President, that " L'Empire c'est pair,"
would it probably be difficult to obtain from him such an
authoritative recognition of the validity of the treaties of
Vienna, as would go far to persuade those allies to put aside,
for the present, the enforcement of this peculiar obligation.
