respectfully tell you . that I am not disposed totake
my chance of being sent to the Tower by the L
Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench for disobedienceord
to the mandamus ; because I must take the liberty to
tell you, that if the directors, who have the power in
their own bands, refuse to obey the mandamus, the
Court of Queen's Bench has the power of imprisoning
all the directors; and, much as I respect you, I am not
disposed to spend an indefinite time in the Tower to
serve you. I know perfectly well that there is a dif-
ference of-opinion amongs the judges as to whether a
mandamus will lie; but the mandamus has been made
absolute, and until the juiges have settled that a man-
damus cannot be enforced I think it will be my duty,
as a tolerably loyal subject, to defer to the decision of
the Court of Queen's Bench ; and I know perfectly
well that other companies have thought it their duty,
in like manner, to do so. But there are other con-
siderations. One is, that if we let the time go past,
and do not make the line, I am thoroughly convinced
that, under the probable renewal of the railway mania,
somebody else will in the course of next year; and,
therefore, I think it much better to keep it in our
own hands. I think the most important point is this
—we have an offer from a very respectable person to
take it at once , for the local traffic, paying us 3 per
cent. on the money that is to be laid out. I say, " for
the local traffic;" and I think, perhaps, I need not
occupy your time by dilating upon the advantage it
will be to our general line to have this open. There
is one point I will touch upon. Thus far, we have
paid to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Company, ac-
knowledged by Lord Yarborough only yesterday, at
the rate of 500/. a week, for the traffic we send over
his line between Retford and Lincoln ; and a certain
portion of that traffic undoubtedly, now that your
towns line is opened, will come on to the towns line,
In
the first place,

would
have
and not go on to that line ; but if we are to make any
use at all ofovhat we call the Loop, which is the line
going practically from Lincoln round to Peterbo-
borough, you cannot get at that line without going
over the Retford and Lincoln line, which is still my
Lord Yarborough's. If you make the Axholme line,
you will not have occasion to go over that railway at
by avoiding going over the Manches-
ter, ; and the calculation we make is this—that the
money which we should eventually saw, under any
circumstances,and Lincolnshire line, will produce in-
to pay even for the capital which is ne-
tteerrlsSheffield,
enough
we shall have to call for capital for it ; lam not
going to deceive you in that respect ; but I want to
cessary to form this line. I know perfectly well that
show that it is not so bad as the outlay upon the ex-
isting line.
A PROPRIETOR—This will render unnecessary the
line from Mesterton to Rossington.
The Chantauri—Certainly ; but if other share-
holders are of opinion that it should be made at once,
and the money raised, of course it will be done.
A PROPRIETOR--What is it to Cost ?
The CHAIRMAN—About 240,0001. We have the
estimates in the office for it. It is to be a single line,
and will certainly be made very cheaply and it is
upon those estimates that a gentleman able to con-
struct the line—living in the neighbourhood—is wil-
ling to do so, and to give 3 per cent. for seven years.
This is his bong
.fide offer.
Captain HALL—It is 400,0001. in the report.
The Cuarnmael—No. That is the power con-
tained in the Act of Parliament, and that was for a
double line. I need not dwell upon the Royston and
Hitchin line. I hope I have got through the most
disagreeable part of the story. Now then I will go
to what, in the report, forms the first part of the state-
ment. The total traffic of the first half-year of 1851
was 239,164/. ; the first half-year of 1852 was
290,674/, ; leaving a gross balance in favour of the
first half-year of 1852 over that of 1851 of 51,5101.
Well, now, I think you will admit that a railway get-
ting additional traffic in the first half-year compared
more with the previous half-year of 51,510/., has not done
ss badly. Of course, we are a new Ede, and, there -
fore, we ought to go on increasing ; but:tht is not the

been no Crystal Palace ; and, therefore, that ought,
in point of fact, to be deducted, to make an accurate
comparison from the half-year of 1851; and it will,
therefore, stand thus:—Passenger traffic, 16,871/.;
goods traffic, 21,3541.; coal 34,4721.; interest and
various other things, 3,2991.;5'
crease upon the traffic of the whole line,
as compared
with the first half-year of 1851, 75,9931. Now, I
venture to think that is really very satisfactory in-
crease ; and I go further and say, a
that regards the
say, as . .
traffic of the line, and the manner in which it
_is
worked, I think it is quite
has a right to expect ; becauseasthi satisfactory
increase as raiyonb otdhye
same number of miles—or, in .8
tof fact, it
porn
rather less in 1852 than • in 1851, because the Roys •
ton and Hitchiu was given up •
. during part of the
time, so that we have improved the traffic during
the first six months of 1852 by 75 000/. over
1851; and I know of no reason why it 'should not for
the whole year go on increasing in the same rat'o I
say; therefore that the earnings of the railwayl *are
quite as satisfactory as I expected to find the and
m ;
if there were no other drawback—thisis,
this horrid
drawback of a million—it would be satisfactory.
I am now quite as confident as I ever was that the
traffic of the line will go on increasi • •
ng, and that it
will become a line that will have, I will not say the
largest traffic, but that it will stand among the lines
that have the largest traffic in the kingdom.—(Hear,
hear.) But that, lam quite ready to admit, has not
any immediate connexion with this million of money.
It ought to be some satisf • action to you to know that
if the million is called for,
and if the line has cost a
great deal, the money has not been thrown away. It
is in good order—it is a popular line—it will become
more and more so; and I have no doubt that in a few
years it will be as sound an investment as a man can
put his money to. lam free to confess that, having
to come to you in 1852 for a million of
money, i't does
diminish the dividend for a time.
Mr. HUGHES—Are you not incorrect in calling it a
million of money? You have the power by a pre-
vious act to raise 400,0001.
The CHAIRMAN—For the Axholme Railway.
Mr. IloGuas—You are asking for another million.
You are asking for 1,400,0001.
Mr. HERAPATH—IS it not one million, and the loan
capital added to the million ? On raising a million of
share capital, that authorises one-third of that amount
as a loan capital, therefore it is 1,300,000/. upon this
power, and 400,000/. more.
The CISAIRIALN—No doubt Mr. Herapath is quite
right, and I hope gentlemen will not be afraid of set-
ting me right if I get wrong.
Mr. HUGHES—You have got 400,0001.
The CHAIRMAN—The other is separate and distinct
from this, as regards the Axholme line ; that is a
power that we at present have ; but, in substance, it
is the same thing. lam really horrified with having
made statements before that have not been borne out
by facts; but I must remind you, that, although we
ask you for 1,000,000/., the calculation is that we
only want 700,0001., because we have a certain
amount of assets. But seeing the difficulty of
pro-
viding the line with station accommodation, I think it
is possible that even the excess we at present have
above the 1,000,000/. may be required. Ido not want
to blink the question at all.
After considerable discussion,
Mr. Huohas said that he had an amendment to
propose. If the report was adopted, it would give
the directors power, not over 1,000,000/ , but
1,333,0001. He had always been an advocate of
economy, and he objected to give them so large a
power now. He thought that a million was quite
enough to entrust them with, and would, therefore,
propose that instead of 1,000,0001. preference capital',
it be 750,000/. They would then have the power of
raising one-fourth, or 250,000/. more by debenture'
and that was quite large enough.
Mr. WALTER seconded the amendment.

GREAT NORTHERN.
The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was
held yesterday at the London Tavern. Air. Denison
was in the chair.
The SECRETARY (Mr. Mowatt) having read the
advertisement convening the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, the report of the
directors has been in your hands for some der, and
I have no doubt that the chief part of you have done
us the honour to read it. I fear that you will be
disposed to thick that there is quite as much con-
tained in that report furnishing feelings of regret as
of congratulation and satisfaction. However, we
must deal with the case as it is, tend throw ourselves
upon your kind consideration and indulgence. 1
think the better way will be for me, in addressing
you, to allu le, in the first instance, to the disagreeable
part of the report—that is, the paragraph which con-
tains the announcement—the unfortunate announce-
ment—that we shall want about a million of money to
complete all the works on the railway. Now, in
making this announcement, I do not forget one word
of what I said to you about two years ago—namely,
that no such sum: of money would be wanted for the
purpose for which we now declare it is absolutely re-
quisite. lam quite willing to take my full share of the
blame of making that statement; yet
I do not
want to take more blame
to myself than literally
belongs to me, but I will not shrink from a fair share ;
and I at once admit that I am mortified it bas not
been borne out, because I am disposed to believe that
you have placed reliance upon what I then was in-
duced to state with respect to the requisite amount of
capital.—(Hear, hear.) My own defence is this—
and lam not at all ashamed of saying it--I was in-
duced, upon the occasion in question, to make the
following reasons :

—(Hear.) It was done by the directors, generally,
with the assistance of the officials, and with the assist-
ance of the engineers and contractors ; and I am
bound in honour to say, that it was at the time put
before you as a how"- i fide statement, under the belief
of the parties who enabled me to make it. I hold in
my baud a summary, showing the excess of expendi-
ture over and above the amount estimated, under
several heads, by which it appears that it was calcu-
lated on the 30th June, 1850, that the land and com-
pensation would altogether cost 1,578,5271., whereas
it is now calculated, on the 30th June, 1852, at
1,877,2811., showing an excess of 298,7541. The
next item is this, "plant and machinery. " I
believe, early in the spring of the
year 1850,
our present locomotive manager (Ur. Sturrock)
eame to us, and, after going into very accurate
calculations, he stated that the whole plant and
machinery, that which he had, and that which would
be required, would come to 641,447/. ; instead of
which, on the 30th June, 1852, it appears that it will
be 1,167,0841., showing an excess of 525,6371. Now
that is for carrying stock—for engines, waggons, and
carriages of all descriptions; and that includes also
the repairing shops, for what is commonly called the
" plant," which are being erected at Doncaster at
present, and which will, of necessity, come to a very
considerable sum of money, as all these great works
have done ; I believe some 60,0001. or 70,0001. Mr.
Sturrock, who is a young mat), but a very intelligent
man, does his work admirably, and he is entitled to
my most cordial approbation, for I must say that I
think he does his work as well as possible, and does
it also :very economically ; but that is the sum of
money which he says is absolutely necessary to en-
able him to do the work and carry on the accruing
amount of traffic. There is an item for interest on
loans paid out of capital, which was stated in 1850 at
577,3811., which now comes to 688,5191., showing
an excess of 111,1381. Upon this item I think it
only fair to observe, that although this will form part
of the capital of the line, still it is money that has
been paid chiefly to the shareholders from the origi-
nal commencement of the undertaking; and if any
gentleman would take the trouble of going into an
accurate calculation, which most of you are much
more competent to do than I am, I think it
would be found that from the commencement up to
this time the shareholders have received, in the
shape of interest and dividend (small as the dividend
has been), a sum of money equal to 31 or 4 per cent.
upon the whole money that has been paid into this
concern. In order to make myself intelligible, I
must remind you that for several years we paid 5
per cent. out of capital ; after a certain period that
stopped; and since that time a certain- dividend has
been made, although small. But what I want to
impress upon you is, that this 688,5191. has actually
been received by the shareholders, although it is car-
ried to the account of capital, and therefore is not a
dead loss. I need not remind you that if gentlemen
have their cake and eat it, they cannot have it in
prospect also. Very nearly 600,000/. has been paid
the shareholders, and that is
now added to capital; and
upon advances made by
that, in point of fact,
swells the capital of the line. The next item is, the
Royston and Hitchin Railway advances to complete
the works ; and that was estimated in
June,
1852, at 17,974/. ; and that sum has to be
provided for. The East Lincolnshire Railway,
in 1850, was calculated to require a sum of
67,729/. ; it has required 73,0881.; the excess in that
respect is 5,3591. Then " sundry works," the cost
of which was not included in former estimates, in-
cluding provisions for hotels—the hotel at Sing a-
cross and at Peterborough—and for additional sidings
and traffic accommodation at stations at various parts
of the line, amount to 113,4501. Perhaps I may as
well allude at this moment to some observations that

Now, then, the new passenger station at lung's- cross

the extravagance of the directors in erecting so splen-

ON TRUE &FALSE SPERMATORITHCEN;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has tuldressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he „shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little hook, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventureres, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but th
thee moderate
price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April
23,1852.

material, for the ease which their peculiar cut secures, and for
their suitability for any kind of weather. Their Summer Dress
comprises every new style suited for every purpose for which dress

they require, not only the best but the cheapest in the universe.
GOLD and WRETCHEDNESS—a contradiction in this country,
but possible in Australia, if Emizrants neglect to procure a Proper
Out a bl
fit and Clothing suite for the climate and their occupations
in that far distant land ; from neglecting this they may be very
wretctied, though very rich. Every emigrant may prevent such
wretchedness by applying to E. MOSES and SON for such an
Outfit as cannot be equalled : free from cumbrous and useless goods,
it is composed of articles which will he daily and hourly required
from the moment of the emigrant going on board. In this outfit
every emigrant may have the most perfect confidence, its suitability
and completeness being acknowledged in all countries. And the
price at E. MOSES and SON'S is an advantage which everyone
appreciates ; with them Outfitting is not a new business, but on a
large scale it has had their attention for many years, and as several
gigantic departments of trade favour each other, so E. MOSES and
SON'S mighty and general business gives them peculiar advantages
in making up the most suitable and the cheapest Outfits. That the
Emigrant may have immediate attention, a separate department is
kept expressly for Outfitting, and Outfits are supplied at their
Branch Establishments the same as at their celebrated house in
the City.
Full Lists of Outfits and all requisite information relative to sail-
ing of vessels, cost of passage, See, may be had on application, or
