The first annual meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the London Tavern, Sir Mac-
donald Stephenson in the chair.
The report stated that the whole of the first issue
of shares was taken up immediately on the publi-
cation of the company. The unemployed capital
had been profitably applied, and the securities ill
which it was invested were now worth considerably
more than their otigival cost. A further bum had
also been received for interest. Managers of inauy
years' experience iu the carrying business had becu
despatched to Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta in
March last. The reports of those managers con-
firmed in every way the anticipations upon which
the company was formed. The Government autho-
rities in India had promised every aid and assitt-
ance, and the railway authorities, without excep-
tion, had shown the utmost desire to aid in promot-
ing the establishment of the company. Contracts,
mutually favourable to the interests of the respec-
tive companies, had been made with the Madras
and East Indian Railways, which would tend to
secure this company from injurious competition. By
advices received from the manager in Calcutta the
Board were informed that on the opening of the
East Indian Railway through to Allahabad the •
Government Commissariat Department would
transfer to this company their carrying business
upon that line. In furtherance of their operations,
the Board had rented the Kalai-bridge and
Beypoor ferry, in the Madras Presidency and
in connexicn with the Madras Railway. The
receipts from this source commenced on the
Ist of July, and in addition to tne advantages which
the possession of the ferry had secured, the step was
likely to prove a very profitable one. General
business in the Madras Presidency commenced on
Aug. 18,
between four stations on the main line of
the railway and the large towns adjoining. Busi-
ness in Calcutta would be commenced in October,
and the company would be fully prepared for the
opening of the Eastern Bengal and Calcutta and
South-Eastern Railways, which was to take place
at the beginning of November. The capital account
to June 30 showed that £25,220 had been received
and £2,394 expended, leaving a balance of £22,826
in cash and securities.

dically inspected and reported fit for duty on the day of
leaving headquarters, and the men's regimental and com-
pany defaulters' sheets are to be sent with them in charge
of officers connnanding parties."
A Royal warrant, issued by command of her Ma-
jesty, laying down the rules and regulations under
which medals and annuities for long and meritori-
ous service will in future be issued to the non-
commissioned officers of the army, has been pro-
mulgated at Chatham garrison, with the view of
rewarding distinguished and meritorious services
and of promoting good conduct in the army. The
Royal warrant directs aat a certain fixed sum will
be granted in annuities to sergeants who shall be
entitled to receive and wear a silver medal bearing
on one side the Royal effigy and on the other the
words " for meritorious service," the name and rank
of the sergeant being interibed thereon. A silver
medal, bearing on one site " for distinguished con-
duct on the field," will, in certain cases, where spe-
cially recommended, be issued to sergeants, with an-
nuity, in lieu of the before-mentioned medal for
meritorious service with annuity, subject, however,
to the conditions and limitations now in force as to
the grant of annuities. The warrant further declares
that a similar medal be granted, without an-
nuity or gratuity, to sergeants, corporals, and
n7Cpri-
vates of the army, when specially recommended by
the General Commanding-i.Plef,
and appointed
by the Secretary of State for War, for individual
acts of distinguished conduct in the field in any
part of the world.

rains have been so heavy and the roads are in such
a state that I conceive it will be impossible for the
French Generals to as,nme the offensive for some
three weeks to come; we have still, I fear, to re-
main in this sad state of suspense for at least another
two months. "What will the French do when
they are here?" is a question universally put, but
to which no reply can as yet he given.

The screw steamship Tartar, Captain W. Tulley,
from Lisbon on the 17th inst, and Vigo on the 18th,
arrived at Southampton at 4 30 p.m. yesterday.
She brought 15 passengers £3,127 in specie, 10
packages of mails, 430 bags of coffee, four chests of
oranges, 36 boxes of lemons, 430 packages of figs,
252 bags of almonds, 135 cases of eggs, 110 casks of
wine, 57 casks of palm oil, 38 live bullocks, and 290
packages of general merchandise. On the coast of
Portugal strong north winds and fogs were ex-
perienced; across the Bay of Biscay and up Chan-
nel a very heavy gale, veering from S.W. to N.W.,
with a tremendous cross sea running.
On the 20th, at 9 a.m., the Tartar exchanged
signals with the screw steamer Mangerton, hove
too, Ushant bearing N.E, by E. 110 miles. On the
21st, at 6 a.m., off the Start, the Tartar passed the
Tamar steamer, and at 11 a.m., of St. Albans, the
Tagus steamer, both outward bound.
Lisbon advices by this arrival are to the 17th
inst. The illuminations and other demonstrations
of enthusiastic satisfaction with their youthful
Queen Maria Pia were repeated by the inhabitants
of Lisbon upon her Majesty's birthday on the 16th.
The Italian squadron had a sham fight and were
beautifully illuminated in the evening, after which
the King, Queen, and Prince Umberto of Savoy at-
tended the opera, where they were received with
undiminished was, as also during their transit
through the streets.
The arrival of the British squadron, commanded
by Admiral Dacres, and of the ambassador, Sir
Arthur Magenis, although two days after the mar,-
riage, and only just in time for the levee of the Bth,
had removed much of the disagreeable impression
an imputed remiss had created in Lisbon ; but no
explanation had been given of the circumstance
which had caused the vessels to be despatched from
England with orders to be at Lisbon by the Bth,
when it had been previously known the King of
Portugal's marriage was to take place on the 6th.
The King visited the squadron while in the Ta-
gus, and left it again on the 14th—two days before
the Queen's birthday.

The detachment of telegraphists and surveyors
selected from the Royal Engineer establishment,
Chatham, to proceed to New Zealand, for the pur-
pose o f being employed in laying down the electric
telegraph and other engineering Operations in that
colony, will take their departure from headquarters,
Brompton, this morning. The Royal Engineers
take out with them a varied and complete set of in-
struments for use in the work on which they will
be employed. The men composing the detachment
will be absent from England several years.
The order for the removal of the 26th company
from Chatham to Aldershott Camp has been coun-
termanded.

Capt. F. W. Thomas and First Lieut. F. F. Evans,
with the Royal Marines who have volunteered for
service at the island of Bermuda, proceeded on
Monday from Chatham to Portsmouth to embark
in the Galatea, 28, 800-horse power.

The 2d battalion, 20th Regiment, under the cow-
man of Col. Radcliffe, underwent his autumnal
inspection, on the parade ground in Anglesey
barracks, at Portsmouth, yesterday, Major-Gen.
Lord W. Paulett, C. 8., being the inspecting officer.

The exchanges this packet at three months were
—London, 531 to ; Paris, 530 to 528 ; Hamburg,
48 ; Amsterdam, 42.50 ; Genoa, 526 ; Three per
Cent. Stock, 462 to 46i; Bank of Portugal shares,
550 to 552; Oporto Bank shares, 256 to 258.
The foreign vessels of war in port when the Tartar
left the Tagus were the Italian steam frigates Maria
Adelaide, Duca di Genova, and Garibaldi, and the
Italian corvette Italia.
