The Directors of the London, Brighton, and South
Coast Railway Company have just published their
half-yearly report, which is to be submitted to the
meeting of the shareholders at the general meeting
to be held on the 23 1 instant. This document, a
copy of which will be found in another part of this
day's impression, is of a very satisfactory character,
and as it is the first of the kind that has appeared
during the present year, it affords the
most au.picious auguries to long-afflicted
shareholders, who at length are emerging from
the "Slough of Despond," and beginning
to recognise the pleasing prospects of a fair and jest
remuneration for their past expenditure. It is but
justice to the company, whose proceedings are now
under notice, to say that they have always kept up a
dividend. The shareholders were never sent away,
without some return for their investment; they par-
ticipated, however, in the general reduction of divi-
dends that affected all unguaranteed lines. . In 1848
(the most unfavourable season known to railways
generally) 3/. 12s. per cent. only was divided
among the proprietors, while during the past
year, 1851, 41. 16s. will have been dis-
tributed, should the report be adopted, as it will
unquestionably be, with thanks and gratitude to the
managers under whose judicious direction such
pleasing results were achieved. The improvement,
too, has been gradual. It was not a sudden spring
arising from some temporary excitement, but rather
a steady development of legitimate traffic, which bas
not even yet attained its highest point. Thus we find
that the gross revenue, in the year 1848, was 453,5081.,
in 1849, 500,4201. ; in 1850, 533,884/. ; while
in 1851 it amounted to no less than 585,0861., show-
ing an increase of about thirty per cent. within
four years, while the last half-year shows an im-
provement of ten per cent. on the corresponding
portion of 1850. The dividends—the point of greatest
interest to the expectant shareholder—have shown a
proportionate amelioration. In 1848, 3/. 12s. was
distributed, there being no reserve whatsoever. In
1849, 3/. 17s. with a reserve fund of 15,000/. In
1850, 4/. 2s, with a reserve fund of 25,621/. ; and in
1851, 41. 16s. with a reserve of 36,6591.—the divi-
dend now recommended for the past half-year being
three per cent. on the ordinary stock of the company.
Some croakers may think that this is too favour-
able, that there must be something wrong in some part
of the accounts, to explain such extraordinary pros-
perity, But we are happy to say that the most ex-
plicit explanations are given on every point, while we
can conscientiously declare, in the words of the
experienced, intelligent, and highly respectable au-
ditor—,, that the accounts are submitted in so simple
and intelligible a manner, that every proprietor can
understand them."

pahy's steam-ship Amazon was most dtstressingly aggra-
vated by the many complications difficulties, and uncer-
tainties at the present nose attendant upon lowering the
lifeboats in so fearful an emergency, sr; sudden, and SO
unexpected. It appears that the Amazan bad no fewer
than nine boats, and most of these were -worse than use-

were intended, from
the difficulty of clearing them
and lowering into the sea.
incredible would appear almost credible that, a great mari-
time country like this, there should hat inben no attempt
to mitigate or overcome the hazard to which we have
referred. Such is the fact; however, anti
we can in some
sort account for it from the obvious difculties in origi-
nating any practical and practicable marine improve-
paent.That which may be perfect in a landsman's eyes
is nothing in a sailor'

ness to recommend it. It is the invention of Mr. E.
Landelli, the well-known artist, who has had early and
considerable experience in nautical affairs, and who has
for many years given a seculous attention to the subject.
The manifest cause of accident may be clearly and
briefly explained:—On the present system a life-boat,
suspended by tackle at each end, has to be lowered into
the sea by two men, one at each tackle. What is the
consequence? In nine instances out of ten, in the con-
fusion of wreck, &c., one end is rapidly lowered, while
the other is tilted up; the boat is stem down and stern
up, or vice versa. Let as supposes as in the case of the
Amazon, that the passengers have crowded into the said
life-boat—they will all be thrown out into the seal This
awful eventuality has been of continual recurrence. In
the smoothest water, and with the ship lying at anchor,
it requires at least two men to lower the boat, and,
moreover, to exercise great care in doing so, in
order that it may go flat on the water. Now, by Mr.
Landell's plan the boat cannot tilt. He employs only
acting from the centre of the boat, with dia-
one pulleys
gonal lines from stem and stern, which keep it in perfect
equilibrium. So far well; but more was desiderated—
much more; and however ingenious the first part of the
invention, we cannot help thinking that the latter portion
is its crowning merit.

n As was announced, the new Constitution:appeared
yesterday in the Moniteur, preceded by a proclamation,
in which the President of the Republic explains very
his work. Before the promulgation we could have con-

pressing
our personal opinions as to what the Constitu-
tion ought to be ; but n

Which guided him in composing
for us to obey
t i the law, and
to express a wish that the new Constitution may fully
respond to the hopes and wants of France ! Ono thing,
in however, pleased us .1 and that is the clear manner in
which the first article recognises, confirms, and guaran-
tees ;he great principles
proclaimed in 1739, and
which are, the article es
a t t, the buses of the public
s
right of the French people. We do not ex-
amine if the organisation which the new Con-
stitution gives to these principles is the best that could
be given; experience ,will show, and the Constitution
itself allows an ample margin for future revisions. More
then ever, besides, we are convinced that a Constitution
draws its principal value from the application made of
it, and from the
spirit in which it is executed. Let the
new Constitution be executed in the spirit of the great
principles of 1789,
and it may even satisfy those per-
sons who in the present state of things would find it in-
complete or defective. For our parts, we have never
asked for anything else than a moderate application of
these principles. All beyond that we repudiate, as not
less incompatible with true liberty. than with order and
government. The Constitution is now promulgated;
but, as is seen by the last article, it is not to be carried
into effect Until the great bodies which it organises--
namely, the Senate, the Legislative Assembly, and
the Council of State, can meet. It will doubtless be
remarked, that the new Constitution confines itself to
organising the great powers of the State, and does
not say one word of the rights and liberties which were
specified in preceding Constitutions. These rights and
liberties will be apparently the object of the organic Jaws
which are to appear hereafter; and besides, Art. 1, in
referring to the great principles of 1789, proves that this
silence is no; an omission. Perhaps our preceding
Constitutions were wrong in wanting to enclose within
too precise terms the extent of these rights and their
limits. Perhaps • , it is better to allow to the public powers
more liberty in extending or restricting them, according
to circumstances. All depends, we repeat, on the spirit
in which the new Constitution is to be executed. If
that spirit be one of prudence and moderation, as we
desirc—if it be the abuse of the principles, and not tho
principles themselves, which it is intended to act against,
no one will certainly complain of the obstacles thrown
in tho way of license, and of the force given to the Go-
vernment to protect society effectively.
The Ordre has ceased to appear.
The 'Moniteur publishes several decrees organising
the Court of Accounts, and opening several extra-
ordinary credits.
The Minister of the Interior has addressed a cir-
cular to the Prefects of departments, directing them
to proceed to the execution of the decree of the 12th,
for the dissolution and reconstitution of the National
Guard. The first thing they are to do is, he says, to
disarm all the dissolved National Guards, and to get
in all the materiel supplied to them by the State.
They are then to ascertain in what communes the
reorganisation of the National Guard may without
inconvenience take place, and what should
be the effective force in each locality. The
principal thing to be attended to is, he declares,
not the number of the National Guards, but the
spirit by which they are animated ; and he remuks

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.—The words "Liberte,
Ecalite, Fraterniti," having been erased from all publia
buildings, by order of Louis Napoleon, the Reds have amused
themselves by chalking rip in their place, as a very appro-
priate substitute, " Infanterie, Cavalerie, Artillerie."
Amongst the passengers by the Tdy, which arrived
yesterday from the Brazils, is Le Chevalier de Figueiredo, the
new charge d'affaires from the Emperor of the Brazils to the
Courts of Rome and Tuscany.
COAL TRADE, .BIRKENHEAD.—The prosperity of
this trade continues. At the present moment, Mr. Hancock,
the agent for the Brymbo Company, is loading three large
ships, viz., the Tara, Gossypium, and Armide, carrying up-
wards of 3,000 tons, principally for the service of the Penin-
sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company; the Tara
alone carries 1,400 tons. The Mangerton, the first Govern-
ment emigration ship for Australia from Birkenhead, also
takes a quantity of these coals. It is rather important for
the consideration of shipowners that so many thousand tons
of these coals should hare been, within the Tait two years,
taken OR long voyages, yet no single instance of spontaneous
combustion has occurred.

ROYAL. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—On strolling
over the halls of this institution, the visitors will be gratified
by seeing a vast augmentation in the models and works of
art, numbers of which have been removed here from the
Great Exhibition, where the time and opportunity necessary
for a careful examination of them was certainly very limited
when compared with their present position ; here not only
can they be individually stadied thoroughly, but the direc-
tors have arranged that those inventions most valuable and
interesting to the public shall be daily demonstrated by com-
petent demonstrators. This is the proper way to diffuse
knowledge, and hence the value of the Polytechnic and the
high estimation in which it is held. Here chemistry, natural
philosophy, and mechanics are constantly under observation ;
and an orrery has just been added showing in exact propor-
tion the sizes and distances which the planets terms and
Mercury, together with the earth and her satellite the moon,
bear to the sun, thus giving at one glance the real scale of
the solar system, which can never be done by the common
means. The directors are certainly untiring in their endea-
vours to make this establishment valuable and instructive,
as well as amusing, and in this they are very successful.

King Kamehameha is ;resident; and Hon. C. I. Brenham,-
mayor of San Francisco, vice-president. Hon. T. Butler
King heudsethe list of directors. The company have a capi-
tal of 500,000 dolls., and in their prospectus say they hare
secured the exclusive privilege of navigating the islands of
the North Pacific Ocean for five years, with the privilege of
introducing all supplies for the company into any port free
of duty. The directors confidently look for an immediate
return of the investment, with a most prosperous commercial
career in the future. The Fremont will be followed by an-
other steamer, as soon as the necessary arrangements can he
perfected, the two making a semi-monthly line of commu-
nication. 'Thus is formed another connecting link in the line
of steam navigation round the world.

In a vessel pitching in a stormy sea, and of which the
life-boat is crowded with passengers about to be lowered,
it becomes of immense importance to secure the boat
from swaying, by supports at each end. This is tho-
roughly accomplished; so that there is a much greater
certainty of being lowered safely and evenly in the
roughest weather, by Mr. Landell's plan, than in the
finest weather and on the amootest water, by the old and
clumsy one. We should become too technical in our ac-
count of this admirable invention, if we were to describe
the contrivance by which the block disengagesitself when
the boat is lowered, and also the meats by which the
man who has lowered the boat is enabled to save himself
at the same moment of time. We may, however, briefly
sta'o that a rope being made fast to the foremost davit,
and kept always reedy coiled at the bow of the boat, if
the vessel have ever so much way on her, the boat would
tow e.asily, or could be cast di, as circumstances might
require,

Next to the amount of revenue and dividend, the
attention of the shareholders will naturally be di-
rected to the state of the capital account, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether the sums they are about
appropriating have been fairly and bond Ade earned.
This important point is placed in the clearest light.
It is shown that the amount raised up to 31st ultimo
was 7,111 2671., which consisted of mortgage debt,
1,458,0371., preference capital, 1,037,5961., and con-
solidated stock, 4,615,6341.
This amount is below that actually expended, but
the directors have discovered that " such an arrange-
ment affords the most profitable means of employing
the temporary accumulations of revenue." This is a
sound principle, and should be more frequently acted on.
Why should money be permitted to be idle when it
can be so benedoiAlly employed without the possibi-

COURT OF EXCHEQUER .—The profession are mani-
festing considerable anxiety as to the person to be selected
for filling the vacant office of Master in the Court of Ex-
chequer. In the present state of the law great care is re-
quired to select a person fully acquainted with the important
duties of the office, and there is a general impression that
those duties can only be properly discharged by those who
have acquired considerable experience in that peculiar de.

We understand the inventor intends submitting his
plan to th=e Lords of the Admiralty, as well as to the va-
rious steam-packet companies; and, as the subject is one
of such vital importance to the interests of humanity—
one in which the whole human race should take a deep
interest--we doubt not for an instant that it will meet
with all the attention and encouragement which it
merits. •
