RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER.
The halt-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the Grosvenor Hotel, Westminster—Lord Sondes
in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in Ve
Sun, was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, congratulated
the proprietors upon the increased traffic during the past six
months, which was satisfactory, although, owing to the
large amount expended in earning it, it had not benefited
the revenue. For the first three or four months of the half-
year the expenses had exceeded the receipts, it being abso-
lutely necessary that they should incur a certain amount of
expenditure in order to bring traffic to their line. The large
outlay was mainly owing to the eompi.ny having no city
terminus, in consequence of which they had had to pay con-
siderable sums of money to the Brighton Company for run-
ning oN er their west-end lino, and also heavy amounts for
carting goods, which had quite absorbed any profit which
might have been expended. This, however, would, he
trusted, be very shortly obviated by the epening of their
terminus at Blackfriars, after which they would not have
to run over the Brighton Company's lino except to the sta-
tion at Victoria. The receipts on the Metropolitan exten-
sions, considering their incompleteness, had been satisfac-
tory, averaging since their opening between Victoria and
the Elephant and Castle upwards of £9O per week, and
since the opening toßeckenham the averagereceipts had been
i 35 a mile per week. In a very short time, he believed
on the 2d of next month, the second line of rails from
Faversham to Herne Bay and the double line between
Herne Bay and Margate, would be opened, but it would
not be completed to Ramsgate until the following month.
The bill which had been introduced into Parliament for
improving the approaches to the Victoria Station and con-
sructing a line to Greenwich had received the Royal assent.
The Brighton Company had agreed to subscribe one-half
of the cost (£120,000) of constructing two additional lines
of railway from Victoria, station to the south side of the
river, including the new bridge over the Thames, upon the
completion of which the existing lines would be handed
over to the Brighton Company, and the new lines devoted
exclusively to the traffic of this and the Great Western
Company which had ifgreed to contribute in the shape of
rent towards their construction in proportion to their use
of them. By arrangements with the South-Eastern Cora •
pany running powers had been secured to Blackheath and
Woolwich, from which a largo addition to their traffic
might be anticipated.
Lord HARRIS having seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report,
In reply to questions by Mr. REDO-COCK,
The SECRETARY (Mr. Johnson) said that the interest on
the debentures and preference were not brought into the
revenue, but were included in the capital account. The
balance between the receipts and expenditure amounted to
£4,279.
Mr. HOLYROD added that the main line ought to earn
£5,000 per week to pay all working expenses, interest on
money borrowen, and preference shares, with the exception
of second preference. That was gross. The not earnings
ought to be £2,500 per week. If the line had been woiked
at 50 per cent., it would have paid everything. The balance
of the capital account on the main line was £lOO,OOO, and
on the metropolitan ex'ension £6,000,in which was included
the common fund, upon which the company has received
£400,000, and they had £600,000 more to come. It was all
placed and therefore certain. The second preferences would
get their dividend on the increase over the £5,000 per week.
Any further sum of money which might be required would
be raised after all the existing preference stock. More
money would be required, but the amount could not at pre-
sent be ascertained.

V lord HARRIS said that the Board had done its best to get
rid of the Farnborough Extension, but the company had
some years ago entered into an arrangement with the Crays
Company for taking their line, and they were bound, there-
fore, in honour to carry it out. The necessity for the line
was now greatly diminished, owing to the South-Eastern
Company having a line running almost parallel with it.
Although they could not abandon it, they had succeeded in
getting it shortened.
Mr. FORBES, the general manager, with reference to the
expenses, said that they were rather high, but they were
spending money in order to develope traffic, The traffic re-
ceipts were gradually increasing, and he believed they would
continue to do so, and they were therefore at the present
time standing at a maximum of expenditure and a minimum
of receipts.

In reply to questions by Mr. GENNING anti other share-
holders,

Lord HARRIS said that, with reference to carrying the
lino on to the pier at Barnsgate, difficulties had arisen in
consequence of arrangements insisted upon by the Admi-
ralty and the Board of Trade. It was hoped, however, that
the arrangements for running these trains to the pier would
soon be made.

Mr. FORBES, in reply to questions, said that the arrange-
ment with the South Eastern Company was perpetual. It
was true that that company had raised their fares, but it
was with very good reason, as it was for the directors to
consider whether it was advantageous or not. It was
their intention originally to run the boats between Dover,
Calais. and Boulogne and Ramsgate and Antwerp. When
they got their bill they pledged themselves to give Dover
additional facilities of traffic. They had done so. If they
had insisted upon running to Boulogne the Sohth Eastern
would have resolved upon running to Calais, and that would
have necessitated a double train service to the coast and a
double packet service across the Channel. They had done a
much wiser thing in having made arrangement by which
they secured a certain route, leaving Boulogne to the South
Eastern,. but obtaining for every passenger that went by
Dover or Folkestone to Boulogne aslinuch value as from
those who travelled by Dover to Calais. The traffic was thus
divided between the two companies. The reason that the
goods traffic at Folkestone was more valuable than that at
Dover was that the Corporation of Dover charged such heavy
tolls, which had.induced the South Eastern to establish their
goods station at Folkestone. The London, Chatham, and
Dover, when they had suitable premises, and were met in
a properly liberal spirit by the corporation of Dover, as to
the tolls and charges, would do all they could to foster the
goods trade at that part. He anticipated a considerable
trade for the boats between Ramsgate and Rotterdam.
There was a now line now forming between Calais and
Boulogne, which would shorten their route to Paris.
In reply to Mr. HARTEIDGE,
Mr. HOLROYD said that the 6 per cent. preferences had
been issued at a rebate of 20 per cent. under the authority
of the shareholders, who had resolved that the directors
should issue the stock on such terms and conditions as thep
might think fit, and, in answer to Mr. Knight, he added
that the Dover preference stock took precedence next after
debentures ; but the 41 per cent. stock, being a rent-charge,
took preference of the debentures.
The report was adopted, and Mr. Holroyd was nnani -
mously elected to the vacant seat at the board.

A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed tho
prcceedings.

GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.
The report of the directors of this company states that the
earnings for the half-
year ending the 30th June amounted
to £431,340, and the ordinary working expenses to £277,204,
leaving a balance of £157,136. From this was deducted
£32,063 for renewals of permanent way, leaving a net
balance of 124,173. The receipts from traffic and all
other sources as above amounted to £434,340, against
£382,993 for the corresponding half of 1862, or an increase of
£51,347, or 13.45 per cent., and against £347,110 for the
corresponding half of 1861, or an increase in 1863 over 1861
of £87,230, or 25.13 per cent. Nearly every item of the
company's traffic revenue had increased during the half-
Year, the main exception being the local passenger traffic.
In that item the decrease of £1,052 was much more than
accounted for by the extraordinary receipt caused by the
movement of troops in the early part of 1862; the receipts
for military services in the corresponding half year of 1862
having been £12,630 as against £1,853 in 1863. The work-
ing expenses show a total expenditure of £277,204, or 63.83
per cent. on the gross receipts, as compared with 77.24
per cent, in the
corresponding period of 1862 ; adding
renewals in both cases, the expenditure for the past
half-year showed a decrease of £9,390, While a gross
increase of revenue of £51,347 had been earned, the
total expenditure had been reduced by £9,390, including in
that expense the increased charge for renewals. The net
revenue in 1859 amounted to £73,358, in 1860 to £102,685,
in 1861 to £142,494, and in 1862 to £170,234. From the not
profit of the half-year—viz., £124,173—there had to be de-
ducted a nominal amount of £10,462 for postal and mili-
tary service receipts; the charge for the former being still
unsettled, and the money being still retained by the provin-
cial government. ' The sum of £6,589 for " Ices on Ame-
rican currency"—an item of loss which would, it was feared,
be even heavier in the current half-year, with its larger
traffic—had also to be deducted. Those deductions loft the
sum of £107,122, which had been applied as follows
payment of interest on lands, bonds, debentures, and notes,
£10,693; Portland sinking fund, £2,312 ; Atlantic and St.
Lawrence lease in full, £32,763 ; Detroit lease, %11,250 ; in-
terest first preference bonds, £49,9l3,leaving in full a balance
of £lB6. The whole amount expended for renewals and im-
provements of the permanent way, ordinary and special, had
been charged to revenue. The charge in the half-year was
£9,261 in excess of that incurred in 1862. It had been
decided to renew during the current half-year :00 miles of
line with the hollow rails. Tho unexhausted balance to the
credit of net revenue account at December 31, 1862—viz.,
£37,986 had been credited to capital account. The sum of
£6,247 had been expended during tbo half. year in addi-
tional works and plant, and had been duly debited to capital.
This sum is the only real expenditure on " capital account,"
although that account was also charged with the amount of

capitalized arrears of interest under the lease of the Atlantic
and St. Lawrence line, and with certain other turns of
capitalized interest on second preference bonds (not included
at the 31st of December last), and on adjusted debts,
together with the c munuted arrears of rent upon the
Detroit and Port lluron. The amount which bad hitherto
stood in the "general balances" at the debit of the " Port-
land Sinking Fund ' had been transferred to capital account.
The operation of this fund, which:was intended gradually to
liquidate the Portland city loans, would ultimately reduce
the ennual charge for bond interest, which formed a large
part of the lease rent of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence line.
The whole of the creditors of the corampany in England, and
many of the Canadian creditors, including the largest—
the Bank of Upper Canada—had been finally settled with
under the terms of the Arrangement Acts, 1862, and
deeds of relief and discharge had been executed. There
now remained the unsettled accounts with the provincial
Government, against which the Board considered the com-
pany had, if fairly dealt with, a much larger set-off. The
through arrangements with the Buffalo and Lake Huron
Company had been much extended and improved. A mote
full interchange of traffic now took place, and an agreement
had been draws up in Canada between the President of the
Grand Trunk Company, and Mr. Alexander McE wan, on
behalf of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Company, subject to
the sanction of the Boards of the two companies, by which
running powers were proposed to be interchanged between
BuffAlo and Detroit for a period of three years. The agree-
ment also contemplated (but upon condition of satisfactory
arrangements being first made with the connecting railways
in the United States) the laying down at an early date of a
third rail inside the present sft. Ein. tract, so as to permit
the cars of the American lines on the 4ft. Sinfin. gauge to
pass from Sarnia to Buffalo. All transhipment between
New York and Chicago or the Mississippi River would thus
be avoided, and a large accession of carrying power be ob-
tained without any other outlay of capital. The subject,
however, was still under discussion by the Boards. In con-
clusion, the Board trusted that the result of the half-year's
working, which reflected much credit on the company's
able executive, would be gratifying to the share and bond-
holders. A largely increased revenue had been earned at
diminished cost, and the net available balance of revenue
was larger than it had been at any previous period. A mate-
rial reduction had been made in the locomotive department,
especially in the cost of fuel, and the permanent way had
been improved.

THE NAVY.

The Odin, 16, paddle frigate, Capt. Lord John
Hay, C. 8., was paid out of commission yesterday at
Portsmouth, under the superintendence of Capt. H.
Broadhead, commanding her Majesty's ship Asia
and the port reserves. She was commissioned at
Portsmouth in Sept., 1859, and conveyed the gun-
boats Foam, Weazle, and Grasshopper out to
China. She arrived at Hongkong on the 24th of
April following, and was soon afterwards sent to
the North, Lord John Hay then commanding the
gunboat division in the subsequent operations
against the Taku forts. After the reduction of the
forts the Odin remained there the whole of the en-
suing winter establishing a depot, and keeping open
the communication with the troops at Tien-twin. In
August, 1861, the Odin sailed for Japan, where she
remained as senior officer's ship until January 21,
1862, when she conveyed the Japanese Embassy to
Suez ria route for England. after which she con-
veyed the Grand Duke of Saxe-Coburg and suite to
Abyssinia, and afterwards proceeded to Trinco-
malee, where her captain hoisted a commodore's
pendant as senior officer in command of the station,
and finally sailed for England in March of the pre-
sent year. Iu paying off, Lord John Hay presented
James Sutherland, the Odin's blacksmith, with a
silver hammer, value £l2, enclosed in an ebony
case, as a mark of approval of his conduct while
serving on board the ship. The following men were
recommended to the Admiralty for medals and gra-
tuities for good conduct and long service :—Samson
Hooper, chief boatswain's mate ; Henry Weller,
sick berth steward; Sergeant Thornton, Royal
Marine Artillery ; James Sutherland, blacksmith ;
Robert Meredith, Quartermaster; John Auston,
leading stoker.

THE MEDITERRANEAN TELEGRAMS.--On Satur-
day week a message was received at Malta from
on board the screw steamer Hawthorns, G 4 miles off Alex-
andria, stating that the telegraph cable had been picked
up at that distance from that port. The spot, it is stated, is
that where a stouter cable was spliced to the deep-sea cable,
when the line was laid, owing to the rocky nature of the
bottom on that part of the coast. The faulty parts having
been ettt out the final splice was made on the teeming of
the 13th inst., and at 3.30 pan. the communication be-
tween Bengaza and Alexandria was completely re-
stored. The line throughout ftom Malta to Alexan-
dria is perfect, and is again open to the public.
Just at the moment when tha Alexandria cable was thus
successfully repaired, another of the Mediterranean lines, a
Trench one, that from Corsica to Toulon, laid by Messrs.
Glass, Elliot, and Co., in 1861, stopped working. It may to
rentemlif2red that the hemp covering of this cable, so
strongly approved by the French Emperor, was protested
against at the time by the makers as an insufficient protec-
tion against the numerous destroying agents to which sub-
marine ee-- a aro eubiect. 11r. Andrews, engine,r, and

next to her lay Isaak Walton for the first quarter of a mile,
when Jane Shore rushed to the front, Isaak Walt 33, Aunt
Judy, Glendusk, Heber, and Lorette being next in a cluster.
Just after passing the distance Aunt Judy, Heber, and
Glendusk joined Jane Shore, the four running neck and neck
to the stand, where Glendusk and Heber got the best of it,
and a splendid race between the pair terminated in a dead
heat, the favourite being beaten a neck from the dead
heaters, and Aunt Judy a neck from the third; Petit Oiseau

It is officially announced that the draft will re-
commence in New York on Wednesday next.
General Dix has issued an address to the people
arguing the constitutionality and justice of the
draft, imploring them to offer no resistance, and
to preserve order. A revision in the enrolment will
prevent the possibility of personal injustice. Mr.
Lincoln has promptly consented to test the consti-
tutionality of the Conscription Act, but while the
tide of victory is moving on and treason flying
before it, God forbid that the State of New York or
its authorities should attempt to stay its progress
until the judicial process can be consummated. If
renewed attempts are to be made to defeat the exe-
cution of the law ample preparation is made to vin-
dicate the Government authority. The first exhi-.
bitions of disorder or violence will be met by prompt
and vigorous measures for their repression.
The Provost Marshal General has replied to the
Judge Advocate's statements concerning the inac-
curacy of the enrolment. He claims that the en-
rolment was honestly and eflectually made, and in-
sinuates a want of candour on the part of the State
authorities. The small results of the volunteering
since January last show there is a necessity of
another mode of raising troops.
The New York municipality will pay an exemp-
tion fee for all firemen and indigent drafted men.
The New York national committee will meet in
New York in September, under the presidency of
Mr. August Belmont, to appoint the time and the
place of the next National Convention.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17 (Evening).
Federal advices from Charleston to the 14th inst.
state that the Monitors were all prepared for action
upon the evening of the 13th. At daylight on the
14th the Federal batteries on Morris's Island
opened fire, which lasted for an hour or two, when
they ceased. The Monitors did not fire a shot. As
soon as the batteries ceased firing the Monitors put
up their awnings, and the bombardment was post-
poned till the 15th or 16th.
The New York Tribune says :—" Officers from
Charleston assert that Fort Wagner can only be
taken by assault, and if Fort Sumter falls it cannot
be occupied, as it will be battered to pieces. If
Forts Wagner and Sumter fall other forts will
have to be overcome, and the Confederates are
erecting batteries all along the route to Charleston.
The Fcderal land force is deemed insufficient and
must be largely reinforced before there can be a
decisive result."

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 (Evening).
Charleston was bombarded on the 15th.
General Lee has made a demonstration on the
Federal loft.

The draft recommences in New York to-morrow,
but no disturbances are expected.

The Government has received advises from Ten-
nessee that the Chattanooga I?cbel reports an awful
bombardment of Charleston upon the 15th. The
firing from the land batteries and 11Ionitors was
chiefly directed against Fort Sumter. The Iron-
sides, all the Monitors, and numerous transports
were inside the bar during the engagement. The
fight continued.
Gen. Bragg is at Chattanooga with 25,000 men.
Gen. Johnstone has 25,000 at Brandon and Enter-
prise. Large desortions from Bragg's and John-
stone's armies are reported.
The Governor of Alabama has issued an address
enjoining the impressment of negroes into the
Confederate service.

Gen. Leo has made a demonstration on Gen.
geode's left, the cannonading lasting some time.
Gen. Lee is said to be moving in a south-easterly
course, abandoning the region around Culpepper
and Gordonsville.

Articles urging peace in the Raleigh Standard
are said to have received tho sanction of the Confe-
derates of North Caroline.

Southern papers assert that the French Consul at
Richmond has informed the Confederate Government
the Emperor Napolecn had desired him to transmit
his very warm thanks to the Confederate Government
and the Charleston authorities for the assistance
rendered to the steamer itenaudin. The Confede-
rate Secretary of State replied that the Govern-
ment was gratified at the opportunity of testifying
to the sentiments of cordial regard the Government
entertained for the Emperor Napoleon and the
French people.
The New York Herald asserts that the owners of
the ship Nord, destroyed by the Alabama, have
filed a claim in the State Department of 80,000 dole.
against the British government, alleging that the
Alabama is a British vessel.

Deserters assert that 17 large steamers lately en-
tered Wilmington with enormous supplies for the
Confederate government.
The governor of New York has prepared a pro-
clamation warning the citizens against disorderly
conduct during the draft.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20, Evening.

(By Telegraph to Halifax).
Advices from Charleston to the 16th inst. state
that a grand attack was appointed to take place on
the 17th. It is intended that the Ironsides should
engage Fort Wagner whilst the Monitors and shore
batteries engage Fort Sumter. The wooden fleet
should engage Fort Moultrie.
An impression prevails that the Confederates are
evacuating Fort Sumter. They have strong Rorks
on James Island.

The Savannah _Republican expresses an unfavour,
able opinion of the strengthof the Charleston do-
fences. . _ _

The New Fork World says :--ct Mlny_ troops from
Gen. Meade's army have been sent to Charleston.
The offensive mission of Gen. Meade's army is aban-
doned, and it is now held safely for the defence of
Washington."
Gen. fialleck has officially ordered that General
Lee and Captain Winder should be executed imme-
diately upon information being received of the exe-
cution of two Federal officers in Richmond. He
says :—"'" The United States will retaliate for every
similar barbarous violation of the laws of civilised
war."

Gen. Grant has permitted persons having cotton
or produce not required by the army to bring it to
any military port in Mississippi to be disposed of
according to the seizure regulations.
The Conservative politicians have held a meeting
at Rochester to organise the next Presidential
campaign. Their platform opposes secession,
abolition, or " nativism" of any kind favours the
suppression of the rebellion, the maintenance of the
Union, the adherence to the constitution, fidelity to
the Government, and opposition to foreign inter-
vention. They uphold that the rights of property,
including slaves, is exclusively within the jurisdic-
tion of States, and that the people cannot be de-
prived of them by Federal authority except for
public use or compensation for crimes of which
they are constitutionally proved guilty. The sole
end for which the Government has the power to
carry on the war is to suppress the insurrection, and
to compel the people to obey the laws of Congress.
The New York Herald thinks that this party will
carry the Presidential election.

News from New Orleans to the 11th inst. states
that there are numerous cases of yellow fever at
Quarantine. Five hundred sick soldiers have

nant typhoid fever is raging at Vicksburg; seven
out of 10 cases prove fatal.

The Uonfederates have been heavily reinforced
at Mobile.

MEXICO.
(Per the Arabia.)
NEW YORK, August 19, Evening.
(By Telegraph to Halifax.)
The New York papers publish the following
intellig-mce from the city of Mexico via San Fran-
cisco, to the 22d ult.
The French and Mexican papers urge the re-
cognition of the Southern Confederacy, saying that
France will recognise the Confederacy. The Go-
vernment organ says :—" The Northern States
favour Juarez, the Confederacy is in favour of a
Mexican monarchy, and everything looks to an
immediate recognition of the Confederacy by
Mexico."

Extravagant statements had been received to
the effect that the French were imprisoning and
shooting the Mexicans who refuse to take the oath
of allegiance to the monarchy. It is also reported
that a Mexican man and woman were flogged for
refusing quarters to French officers.
The foreign ministers at Mexico have refused an
(der of Juarez to remove to Sau Luis Potosi.
