It is believed that there is a large section of proprietors
in railway companies who never vote on any question,
either in person or by proxy, and it is calculated that
they amount to. one-third of the whole. These per.
sons it appears trust entirely to the directors, the Lords,
and the Commons, and many of them have suff,lred
wofully for their confidence. If proxies are to be
ussd in accordance with the standing order as altered,
the publication of the list of shareholders repre-
sented at each meeting, with the amount of stock,
and its circulation among the shareholders, may
prevent misrepresentation and enable the Committee to
ascertain the correctness of the return. Then, again, in
sending proxies to proprietors, officials will naturally
take care that those shareholders who invariably vote in
favour of the directors shall have proxies sent them, but
some of the other shareholders may not be fortunate
enough to receive either a notice or a proxy; they maY
complain, but can have no redress unless they attend
the meeting, should they happen to know of it. The
chairmen of the Great Western, the Great Northern,
and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Compa-
nies, have represented to Lord Derby the propriety of
restoring the majority to three-fifths of the proprietors
present, and of rendering an investigation imperative in-
stead of permissive, as to the bona fides of the parties
voting, whenever complaints be made by petition from
either party to the House of Lords.

IMPORTANT TRIALS OF " THE ANCHORS OF
ALL NATIONS" AT HER MAJESTY'S DOCK-
YA,RE), St-lEERNFSS
Toe ton gee, ,ea,-rt represent.e4 the cemteercial
maritime interests—vez., Mestir, Dutican Dunbar, W. S.
Lindsay, W. Phillips, Anthony Ridley, and William
Drew, arrived on Weenesday evening at Smithson's Royal
Hotel, Bankstown, Sheerness, where apartments had
previously been engaged, and precisely at nine o'clock
the following morning they proceeded to her Majesty's
dockyard, and were received by Captain the Hon. Mon-
tagu Stoplord, chairman, Captain Superintendent Hope,
Captain George R. Mundy, Messrs. Jonathan Aylen.
the master attendant, and Jatnei Tonkin, the master of
her Mejesty's ship Waterloo, 120 guns, who afterwards
assembled in the captain superintendent's office.
The anchor committee or jury as above, thus composed
of six highly scientific naval officers and the before-
mentioned eminent shipowners, toga her with Captain
Courtney, Lloyd's surveyor of shipping, adopted pro
forma the following excellent resolutions:—
" 1. Resolved, that the committee approve of Mr. J.
Aylen's plan for trying anchors in the yard, being
adopted.
"2. That Mr. Aylen's plan for trying anchors in the
yard be applied to anchors placed on the beach under
water.
" 3. That Mr. Aylen's plan for trying anchors at sea
be adopted.
" 4. That the trials be open to anchors of all nations.
"5. That the weight of the anchors for these trials be
25 cwt,, inclusive of the stock.
" That such of the anchors as the committee shall con-
sider to have proved themselves superior at the preli-
minary tests should be afterwards subjected to such
further tests as the committee may decide on by means
of two steamers at sea, with regard to holding, bring-
ing up, and tripping.
" 7. That every anchor previous to being allowed to
enter into competition, must be tested at Woolwich.
" 8. That the anchors, eight in number, be duly landed
at Woolwich for testing on the Ist of May, and at Sheer-
ness on the Ist of July,
" 9. That the committee do not -hold themselves re-
sponsible for any loss or damage that may be sustained
by the anchors, nor be liable for any expense in bring-
ing them to or taking them from Sheerness.
" MONTAGU STOPPORD, Chairman."
" SUGGESTIONS FOR THE TRIAL OF ANCHORS OF ALL
NATIONS.
" Proper qualities for a good bower anchor, viz. :
strength ; holding, particularly when at a short stay
and being obliged to make sail ; weight and facility for
stowage ; quick holding ; sweeping, tripping; fouling ;
fishing in a-heavy sea-way and stowing.
" At the testing ground in the dockyard a four-fold
purchase to be attached to each anchor, the falls to be
toggled to a pendant and jewel block, with one purchase
to be brought to a capstan.
" The testing ground to be marked for the anchors
and their turn for trial to be drawn for ; from the cap-
stan those to the right will be marked starboard, and
those to the left port ; numbers to commence from the
extreme ends of the testing ground.
" The pee of the anchor to be placed in its berth ac-
cording to the number drawn, and atter testing their
burying properties the cables (being already rove in the
testing blocks), are then to be trieed to the sheerheads,
agreeably to the wishes of the committee, to test their
holding qualities with a short scope of cable.
" SECOND TRIAL PLAN.—At the testing-ground, on
the beach, the barn() rules are to t.e observed as in the
dockyard, and another turn for trial to be drawn for, the
pea of the anchor to be placed at low water. mark, if
agreeable to the wishes of the Committee, the purchase
to be nearly the same as that used in the dockyard, with
one capstan. Chain cables to he used.
" THIRD TRIAL, AS PER PLAN —A mooring-lighter to
be moored at the Little Nore; her rudder to be unshipped;
the bridles to be of hemp, attached to the moorings;
to be taken in over the stern, with sufficient let,ol to
veer, if required, 30 or 40 fathoms; Lius

" MONTAGU STOPFORD, Chairman.
" Sheerness Dockyard, June
A printed copy of which was handed to each owner
of the several anchors, eight in number, and in their
perfect fairness all acquiesced, and pursuant thereto lots
were accordingly drawn for.
Mr. Honiball (patentee of Porter's anchor) and Mr.
Aylen having respectively drawn No. 1, port and star-
board, were first placed in competition; then Mr
Mitcheson's against an American patent; Trotman'
against Rodger'S; and G. W. Lennox's versus Admi-
ralty. The successful anchors in the above series of
trials proved to be those of Messrs. Honiball, Mitcheson,
Trotman, and the Admiralty. These again were pitted
against each other, Mr. Honiball's beating Mitcheson's;
and Trotman's, the Admiralty anchors. Therefore the
palm for superiority had literally as well as practically
to be determined between that of Mr. Honiball and Mr.
Trotman's, as both partake of the same principle, and
differing only as regards the peculiar angle of the palm
in Mr. Trotman's anchor displa)ing great ingenuity.
Much credit is due to Messrs. Wood Brothers, of Liver-
pool and Saltney iron-works, makers of this, and equally
so that of Mr. Honiball's, the two best anchors, practi-
cally proved and determined, and as such, preferable to
mere theoretical arguments, which must have prevailed
with the Exhibition jurors in awarding their medal to
Lieutenant Rodgers, the merits of whose anchor can
only be deemed fourth-rate at most, having been each
time practically beaten, and thrice in succession.
Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy evinced the
greatest possible interest in these most interesting trials;
so also did the naval officers of the different ships in
port, &c., and officers generally of the dockyard.
To Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, as chairman,
much credit is due for his great urbanity of manner and
decision of character, which tended to secure unani-
mity and good feeling throughout, as the trials pro-
gressed, and to those gentleman also who have gene-
rously given their valuable time on behalf of the great
commercial maritime interests; and their decisions will
subserve the purposes of humanity, by se curing
an efficient anchor for those whose lot in life may at
any time be cast upon the wide waters, amid the dan-
gers of the ocean.
The second series of trials will be commeeczd upon as
soon as the necessary arrangements are completed, pro-
bably
Thursday n,xt. and tollowing days.

Sunday proved calm, and we stood along the land, as

ship struck on the point'uf the reef; the helm was rut

head to sea again; she again struck, and apparently
passed over the danger. I hurried A-- and the chil-
