The half-yearly meeting of this company took
Place on Saturday, at the terminus, King's Bridge,
When the report and statements of accounts were
received and adopted. It appears from the report
that., the profit on the six months ending the 30th June
!list, has been sufficient to clear off all previous ba-
lances against traffic, and leave a surplus of 2181.55. 2d.
to the credit of the next account, while, during the
eleven weeks that have elapsed since the account was
ade up, there has been an average increase of over
301. per week as compared with the corresponding
Period in 1851 ; so that, on the whole, your traffic re-
411rns present a more favourable avcot than they
live hitherto done.

_ ``The expenditure, on the other hand, has been
carefully attended to. The directors continue to act
Without remuneration ; the office expenses have been
reduced to the lowest possible scale ; and the board are
happy to state that they have succeeded in inducing
the Great Southern and Western Company to lower
the charge on haulage, whereby a reduction has been
effected in the working expenses of the line equal to
nearly 7091. per annum.
" The liabilities of the company are now nearly
Ztinguished, and the directors hope they will shortly

the closing of the capital account.

intendence of Mr. Miller, the engineer to the Great

tf,,8,4r1 JUAN DEL NORTE, SEPT. I.—On the evening
big 'tie 19th the Prefect of Granada was aroused from
IviLued by an expresa from Leon, stating that Munoz,

the seat
that city, and were marching upon Managua,
seat of government.
Ifhe Prefect immediately dispatched one hundred
tee fifty men and four pieces of artillery for the pry-
-I,etr,l°n of Managua. On the 22d Munoz was at Realejo.
the-11, being in his hands, great excitement prevails,
the Government impressing every stray citizen into
ranks of the army.
Cle-he movements of a certain mysterious French
Iquis, who displayed unbounded wealth, and seemed
4essed of universal knowledge in Granada, taken
rether with certain confidential disclosures made to
verady, leads many to suppose that the French Go-
-1/4..4E1:1ent are connected with this appearance of

Marquis has exhibited a letter from the French
,4tniral in the Pacific stating that six or seven ships
