NEW MILITARY MOVEMENT.
ORGANIZATION OF RIFLE CORPS.
The loyal disposition of British subjects is never slow when the
liberties and institutions of the country ar, threatened; the rifle
movement, spontaneous on the part of patriotic citizens, having
gained the approval of the Lord Lieutenant, and secured the plea-
sure of her Gracious Majesty the Queen, Rifle Associations are form-
ing in all large cities and provincial towns on every hand the ques-
tion is asked —" Where. can the most suitable dress for Captains,
Officers, or Privates in Rifle Companies be secured ?" No house in
the kingdom can equal E. MOSES and SON in this department ;
their special arrangements for this purpose being on the most com-
plete and magnificent scale. Orders for the uni orm of any Rifle
association in the Kingdom can be cempleted in much less time
than at any other House; facilities belonging to E. MOSES and
SON'S establishments in cmisequence of their gigantic trade and
immense capital. The experience E. MOSES and SON have had
in devising the most approved military styles of DRESS, has,
enabled them to produce the most magnificent specimens in the
established Rifle style, accompanied by the most perfect fit, while
the greatest comfort in movement and exercise is attained by the pe-
culiar character of the cut. The prices adopted by E. MOSES and
SON being very considerably lower than any house in the em-
pire for CLOTHING, FIATS, HOSIERY, BOOTS, and SHOES,
&c., and GENER OUTFITTING to all parts of the world, the
same economical charges will be made for Rifle equipment, sup.
plied at their Establishments in London, or forwarded to any provin-
cial town in the Kingdom.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND
, - CHESHIRE JUNCTION.
On Saturday afternoon the ordinary half-yearly
meeting of this company took place at the Monks'
Ferry Hotel, Birkenhead; Alderman Bancroft,
chairman of the board of directors, in the chair.
There was a numerous meeting of proprietors.
Mr. GIMON, the secretary, read the report, from
which we take the following passages :
" The receipts of the past ha-year, as compared with
the receipts of the corresponding period of the previous
year, are as follows ; namely, 1850, passengers, 20,527/ ;
goods, 10,2231.; total, 30,7401. 1851, passengers. 28,3681;
goods, 13,4151.; total, 41,783/. Increase, 11,0431. The
cioaniity of general merchandise carried between Chester
and Birkenhead, continues to increase: comparing the
same periods the tonnage was, 1850, general merchan-
dise, 41.420 ; coal, 33,820; total, 80,240. 1851, general
merchandise, 46,595; coal, 34 232; tow.), 81,517. The
traffic on
.the Manchester line continues to increase.
Ile tonnage of the last half-year, compared with the
half-year ending 30th June, is more than double;
and arrangements have just been completed with
he• Ilniyhead CoMpany, from which a considerable
traffic in slate and atone is expected to be taken
over t'bia portion of the line, and this will no doubt be
promoted by the opening of the Carnarvon and Bangor
line on Monday next. It is proper, however, to observe,

{.hut the company ianow in u transition state, and that
the present returns Ao notindicate its actual resources.
Notices have been issued for the forfeiture of 3,535 311.
and 196 22/, shares, a list of which will be submitted to
the meeting,;, and the directors desire the same powers
for the disposal of these shares as hare been given for
those already declared forfeited. The balance available

for dividend is 15,127/. 14s. 5d., and out of this sum the
directors recommend that a dividend be paid at the same
rate as lal;t half-year, viz., ,en 271. shares, 4s. 1,4d,;.1)11
221. shares, 2s. 100.; on 311. shares, 3s. toper&ire;
eaving a balance of 1,8811. to be carried over, , .The
amount charged to the halt-year for the expenses of the
aea,dent is the same as was autherised for the previous
half-year." _ _ _

The CHAIRMAN, in moving pro forma, the adoption
of the report, observed that the business of the day
would be very short;. but .Pe wished to make a few
remarks in regard to their position, in order that the
shareholders might not be misled as to the real value
of their property by the returns which had just now
been laid before them. The company was now in a
state of transition, from the condition of an indepen-
dent cbmpany to that of one of the Associated Com-
panies. Twelve months ago be had told the share-
holders that the alliance which they then contemplated,
and had since effected, would not prove immediately
beneficial, but that, its first operation would be to de-
prive this company of all the advantages of its Man-
chester line and of the greater portion of the traffic
from Manchester to Chester. It was natural to sup-
pose that the London and North-Western Company,
which was so seriously affected by the junction of this
company with the Great Western and Shrewsbury
lines, would offer all the opposition in its power to the
arrangements now in progress.—(Hear, hear.) At
the two last meetings the directors had suggested to
the proprietors the necessity of making arrangements
at Manchester, to enable them to have the control over
their own business control which, from the termi-
nal regulations there, was now in the hands of the
London and North-Western Company, Who, as might
be expected, diverted the traffic to their own line, to
the injury of this company and the prejudice of the
town of Birkenhead. The anticipations which had
been stated a year ago had proved correct, and the re-
turns now presented, therefore, formed no fair ground
for estimating the value of this line if it had remained
an independent company. At present they bad not
realised any direct advantgge from their alliance with
the Associated Companies. The communication being
broken at Wolverhampton, the through traffic was con-
fined tb that which they possessed before the alliance,
as die London and North-Western had successfully
adopter plans to prevent any traffic coming down
the Shrewsbury line to Birkenhead.—(Hear, hear.)
The Shrewsbury and Hereford line was
.not open ;
and the Chester and Holyhead—so ably represented
at all meetings of this company by the Hon. Member
(Mr. Jackson, M.P.), and over which the London
and North-Western exercised so large a control—
had managed to promote the interests -and policy of
the latter company in opposition to the associated
companies. But he (the Chairman) and his brother
directors were too well disposed to be on good terms
with their friends on the other side of the water to be
angry, oe find fault with anythimy they did.—
(Cheers and laughter.) He only mentioned these
things now to show that in their present transition
state all their profits were swallowed up in working
expenses, and that this would continue to be the case
until either this company was again an independent
company, or the associated companies could make
their own arrangements.—(Hear, bear.) The Cheshire
line had yielded, under all the drawbacks, far more
than he (the Chairman) had ever expected from it; and
he had now more confidence than ever that it would
prove most useful to the district, and command a
large amount of traffic. From Christmas lag
to Christmas next they would receive the gross
amount of 85,0001.; and their traffic would be
worked by' any of the companies on terms that would
leave this company. in the enjoyment of nearly the
same amount of money they had stipulated to receive
from the associated companies; leaving this company
all the advantages of Birkenhead. He wished to
speak guardedly. It was not his desire, or that of
the board, to do anything to prevent the carrying
out of their agreement in all its integrity; but per-
sonally he (the Chairman) was very indifferent about
it.—(Hear, hear.) He believed it would be carried
outin its integrity, although the Great Western Com-
pany was so occupied with pressing Parliamentary
and other business, that it could not meet its allies to
complete the agreements.—(Rear, hear.) Provision
was made that, in case of any difference of opinion,
the points should be submitted to arbitration ; and if
any necessity arose—if any new state of affairs should
occur—the directors would call the shareholders to-
gether, and make them acquainted with the facts.—
(Cheers.) He was not aware that they would be
called upon to make any sacrifices, and therefore
moved that the reports and statement of accounts be
received and confirmed.

Mr. CATIIRALL seconded the motion, which was
unanimously adopted.
The next resolution, declaring a dividend of 4s. lid.
upon each share of 271. 103. for the half-year, of
2a. 100. upon each 221. share, and of 3s. 101 d. upon
each 311. share, was unanimously acquiesced in, as
was also that declaring the forfeiture of a large
number of shares of which due notice had been given.

A motion was then made that the directors 13e em-
powered to Proceed with the Bills now before Parlia-
ment and to oppose others.
Mr. JACKSON, M.P., opposed the latter portion of
the proposition, and wished the motion to be divided,
for the purpose of affirming the former and negativing
the latter ;. but after some conversation the Hon.
Member did not press his amendment, and the resolu-
tion was carried with one dissentient.

A memorial from 42 local passenger contractors
was brought forward by Mr. TITHERINGTON relative
to the starting of a morning train a quarter of an
hour earlier, so as to enable the business men of
Liverpool to reach town by 10 A.M. The meeting,
however, declined to entertain the question, which
conveyed an implied censure on the directors.
After a vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting
broke up.

EAST ANGLIAN.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Saturday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street. H. Bruce, E-q., took the chair.
The report was as follows :
" We regret that the lateness of the period at which
we have received from the Great Northern Railway,
Company the accounts of the traffic receipts and work-
ing expenses, during the time that the lines were worked
by that company, has put it out of our power to present
our accounts in a complete state. As we have not had
sufficient time to examine the accounts of the Great
Northern Company, or to submit them to the auditors,
we shall not ask you to confirm them until a future meet-
vented
