are diffe-
rences of opinion as to the validity of a mandamus,
until the validity of the mandamus has been upset I
respectfully tell you that lam not disposed to take
my chance of being sent to the Tower by the Lord
Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench for disobedience
to the mandamus ; because I must take the liberty to
tell you, that if the directors, who have the power in
their own hands, 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 judges 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, need not
occupy your time by
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, sac-
' knowledged by Lord Yarborough only yesterday, at
the rate of 5001. 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,
and not go on to that line ; but if we are, to make any
use at all of what 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
all ; and the calculation we make is this—that the
money which we should eventually save, under any
circumstances, by avoiding going over the Manches-
ter, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire line, will produce in-
terest enough to pay
even for the capital which is ne-
cessary to form this line. I know perfectly well that
we shall have to call for capital for it ; lam not
going to deceive you in that respect; but I want to
show that it is not so bad as the outlay upon the ex-
isting line.
A Prionurrou.--This will render unnecessary the
line from Mesterton to Rossington.
The CHAIRMAN—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
0001. ?
The CHAIRMAN—About 240, 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 bond fide offer.
Captain HALL—It is 400,0001. in the report.
The CHAIRMAN—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
tlitchin 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 239,1641.; 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
with the previous half-year of 51,5101., has not done
ss badly. Of course, we are a new line, and, there-
fore, we ought to go on increasing ; but that is not the
whole of the case, because in 1851 there was six weeks
of excursion traffic for the Crystal Palace. That
we calculate, at the lowest sum, produced 15,1991.
more than would have been produced if there had
been no Crystal Palace ; and, therefore, that ought,
in point of fact, to be deducted, to make
an accurate
comparison from the half-yearofand it
1851 •
therefore, stand thus:—Pass
traffic 16,8711.;
. ,
goods traffic, 21,354/ •enger
coals, 34,4721.; interest and
various other things, 3,2991.; making the gross in-
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 •
a very satisfactory in-
crease; and I go further
and
say, that as regards the
traffic of the line, and the manner in which it is
worked, I think it is quite as satisfactory as
anybody
has a right to expect ; because this increase is on the
same number of miles—or, inpoint of•
fact, it was
rather less in 1852 than •in 1851, because the Roys -
ton and Hitchia was given up during part of the
time, so that we have improved the trafficduring
75,0001.
over
the first six months of 1852 by
1851 • and I know of no reason why it shouldnotfeorr
the Whole year go on increasing in the same ratio. I
say,'therefore, that the earnings of the railway are
quite as satisfactory as I expected to find them ; and
if there were no other drawback—this is, 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 increasing, 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 satisfaction 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, it 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 400,000/.
The CHAIRMAN—For the Axholme Railway.
Mr. HUGHES—You are asking for another million.
You are asking for 1,400,000/.
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 1,300,0001. upon this
power, and 400,0001. more.
The CHAIRMAN—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—Yon 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 1,000,0001. may be required. Ido not want
to blink the question at all.
After considerable discussion,
Mr. HUGHES said that he had an amendment to
propose. If the report was adopted, it would give
the directors power, not over 1,000,0001., but
1,333,000/. 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 1,000,000/. preference capital,
it be 750,0001. They would then have the power of
raising one-fourth, or 250,0001. more by debenture,
and that was quite large enough.
Mr. WALTER seconded the amendment-

RAIL WAY IN TEL LA GEN C.B.
GREAT NORTHERN.
The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was
held yesterday at the Louden Tavern. Mr. 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 day?,
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. I3.owever, we
must deal with the case as it is, and throw ourselves
upon your kind consideration and indulgence. I
think the better way will be for me, in addressing
you, to allude, in the first instance, to the disagreeable
pert of the report—that is, the paragraph which con-
tains the announcement—the unfortunate announce-
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 Ibe 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 has not
been borne out, because I am disposed to believe that
what I then was in-

and lam not at all ashamed of saying it—l was in-
duced, upon the occasion in question, to make the
statement which I did, for the following reasons :
Parties had gone into a calculation of the sum of
money that would be required to complete the works.
—(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 bond fide statement, under the belief

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 (Mr. Sturrock)
came 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

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 70,000/. Mr.
Sturrock, who is a young man, 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 be 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 It or 4 per cent.
upon the whole money that nas 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 688,519/ 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 600,0001. has been paid
upon advances made by the shareholders, and that is
now added to capital ; and 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 't'
• 3,0881.; the excess in that
respect is 5,359/. Then " sundry works," the cost
of which was not included in former estimates, in-
cluding provisions for hotels—the hotel at King''
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
have been made upon the extravagant sum that is
being laid out at King's-cross.—(Hear, hear.) I
hold in my hand a statement of the liabilities of the
Great Northern Railway on works under the direc-
tion of Mr. Lewis Cubitt, dated the 30th of June,
1852. The goods station and temporary passenger
station at Maiden-lane was estimated to cost 155,504/.,
and the amount certified by Mr. Lewis Cubitt to the
30th of June, 1852, was 155,4851. being 8 balance
of 19/. That is done. That is the existing station.
Now, then, the new passenger station at King's-
cross
is estimated at 123,5001., upon which 75,3541. has
been paid. I wish to ask your attention to this
point, because many remarks have been made upon
the extravagance of the directors in erecting so ?Len"

will judge of the authority) that it is the cheapest
building for what it contains and will contai.n.
that can be pointed out in London ; and I am told

which is this. You are aware that out of the last
preference shares which were offered to you (and the

THE KINGDOM AND THE COLONIES.
The benefit of their connexion is public convenience in com-
mercial interchange, and variety in productions made easily acces-
sible to everyone. A similar advantage arises from E. MOSES and
SON'S Establishment and its Branches, each of which give the
public access to every variety in Clothing, &c., &c. But the pro_
minent feature in their goods is, they are seasonable, novel, elegant,
and cheap, adapted for tours, excursions, sporting engagements, or
vi-its to places of note amongst lovers of nature's magnificence,
quietude, or luxuriance. E. MOSES and SON'S Shooting Coats are
now rapturously approved by every class of sportsmen, for the elr-
xectness of their tit, for the novelty and the superiority of their
material, for the case which their peculiar cut secures, and for
their suitability for any kind of weather. Their

price at E. MOSES and SON'S is an advantage which everyone
appreciates ; with them Outfitting is not a new business, bat 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.

BRISTOL AND EXETER.
The 321 half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at Bristol ; Mr. J. W. Bailer in the
chair. Mr. J. B. BADHAm read the notice coavenirg,
and the report of the directors, an abstract of wl•ioh
appeared in The Sun of yesterday.
Ina CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re-
port, said it was quite as satisfactory as any which
had ever been laid before this company. With retard
to the receipts of traffic they were certainly most en-
couraging. Apprehension were expressed-by gentle-
men of tee highest authority in rail way matters that
the increased traffic during the Great Exhibition
would have been prejudicial to the general interest of
railways ; that it would have produced a collapse or
exhaustion from which the incomes of the several
companies would not recover for a long period of time.

he aecasion that that result had not been produced, and

paring the traffic of the half-year just brought to a
close with the corresponding half of the preceding
year the results were in all respects most satisfactory.

and he had no doubt, if they were inclined tpol
of them they could obtain a considerable premium.
He hoped the time would come when they would
re-
ceive some interest on the large number of original
shares which they held in the Crediton Companyl
the course of next year most probably the Nora'
Devon line from Crediton to its terminus at Barn-
staple would be opened, and it was impossible to
suppose a considerable increase would not take place
on the traffic on the Crediton line. The works on the
North Devon line were making satisfactory progress
in the hands of contractors of large capital and great
experience. He had not heard that the works had
yet been commenced on the Glastonbury Canal, but
the company was formed, and the Bill to change
it to a railway had received the royal assent. The
canal was a most inconvenient means of transit. At
present it was closed for repairs, and likely to remain
closed for six weeks. It was impossible any large
amount of traffic could be carried on with such inter-
ruptions. They would find the change of great ad-
vantage in bringing an accession of traffic to their
main line, and therefore he felt assured that, in addi-
tion to the reasonable encouragement they had given
to that undertaking, should a small sum be required
to complete it, they would not refuse their assistance,
if they were satisfied the utmost had been done by
the public and the neighbourhood before application
was made to them. It was also satisfactory to see
that the directors of the Cornwall Company had de-
termined to proceed in the construction of that line.
He had always felt that the Cornwall Railway, being
on the broad gauge, ought to be completed, and he
had high authority for believing the traffic over it
would be considerable. With the advantages they
now possessed in a better knowledge of the construc-
tion of railways, and the material reduction in the
expenses of the line, it could be completed within the
amount of the capital subscribed. He thought
it would pay a fair interest, and, while
greatly benefiting the South Devon Company,
in which they had so large a stake, it would indi-
rectly benefit the Bristol and Exeter line. The cm
munication between Plymouth and Saltash by a
bridge would be of immense advantage in inducing
travelling among persons in Cornwall who had been
prevented by the difficulty of crossing the Tamar at.
Torpoiut, and in superseding water communication,
which was now resorted to by many passengers, who
would otherwise go by land from Falmouth and
Penzance to Plymouth, Exeter, and London. Corn-
wall was famous for the cheapness with which works
were conducted, and could boast of the cheapest via-
duct ever formed. The West Cornwall Railway had
just been fini.hed at a reasonable rate, and was opened
for the public traffic yesterday. It ran from Truro
to Penzance, and when the Cornwall Railway from
Plymouth to Truro was made there would be a direct
broad gauge line complete from Paddington to Pen-
zance, to the great advantage of this company and
all connected with it. With reference to the
central scheme of the South Western, from
Salisbury to Exeter, be said they had to
decide whether they would allow a narrow or a broad
gauge line to come to Exeter.
Exeter might appear to
be the terminus of their line, but it was the centre of
their area of traffic, and of the greatest importance, as
the centre from which the most imp
o.rtant traffic to
them was drawn. The worst feature in the case was,
that the parties who were promoting the
through
gauge line did not suppose that the country _
which it passed would support it, but looked only to
abstracting a portion of the Bristol and Exeter traffic
to save themselves from any Take great loes.a e it at
the best, there was no reason to believe the line would
be remunerative, if they did not abstract a portion
of
their revenue ; and the danger was that, while en-
gaged in warm competition at Exeter, the one endea-
vouring to retain, the other to abstract, between the
two the profit might be lost. From the earliest period
it was always felt by those interested in the Bristol
and Exeter Company that their vulnerable point was
Exeter. They had the misfortune to have ambitious
and restless neighbours, and be believed there was no
other security but in their own exertions. They
must entertain the question, whether they liked it or
not, and see from whom the attack was likely to be
made. The only security for the maintenance of a
considerable portion of their traffic was by making
preparations against the attack with which they were
now threatened.
The report was then received and adopted unani-
mously.
The CHAIRMAN proposed a dividend at the rate of
21 per cent. for the half-year.
This was carried unanimously.

half-yearly meeting, which, in some measure, tied the
