MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OF IRELAND.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Thursday, in Dublin ; Mr. Ennis in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.
Dr. PEEBLES said that at the last meeting an un-
dertaking bad been given that the original stock
should cease to exist.
The CHAIRMAN said he had never given such an
undertaking, but he had given an undertaking that
none of the original stock should be issueduuderpar.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said it contained so many details of interest,
and criticised the state of the company's affairs so
accurately that they could go at once to real business.
With regard to the general features of the account
they would see that there had been a small increase
upon the working, but not such an increase as at
all harmonized with the prophecies of those who
took a very sanguine view of the state of the coun-
try. There was a small increase upon the first and
second-class passengers, but upon third and fourth
there was a falling off. He had recently appeared to
give evidence on the subject before a parliamentary
committee. He then gave it as his opinion that traffic
was a very varying thing in this country. In all pro-
bability in the next session of Parliament the ques-
tion would again be taken up and more fully consi-
dered. He had told them upon a recent occasion that
there had been a strong disposition evinced by a
certain Minister that the principle should be carried
out on the Belgian principle. Mr. Gladstone had,
however, stated that in any such arrangement the
rights of shareholders and railway proprietors should
be duly attended to. With regard to cattle and goods
they had a small increase, which was a source of en-
couragement. The directors were naturally respon-
sible to the shareholders for the duty that attached
to them. He himself had always stated that he was
answerable for his duties, but he had never taken
any steps without their sanction. There had been a
sum of £17,760 expended on the permanent way,
while in a previous year there was a much smaller
sum. With reference to the Ballinasloe accident—
one which he was prepared to say every gentleman
in- the room deplored—he had to say that it cost the
company £6,362. The report of the engineer of the
Board of Trade was to the effect that the accident
occurred from fast driving over a line badly con-
structed. He did not think it was necessary to make
that report a matter of controversy. The accident
itself was of a most lamentable character, but he was
happy to say that it was an exception to the normal
state of the undertaking. For 20 years it was the only
serious accident that had occurred on the line. Rather
than charge this £6,362 against the revenue of the
half-year, the directors had resolved to meet it as far as
possible by the reserve fund; so that the whole conse-
quencesof the accident as exhibited against the revenue
account were only something over £l,OOO. He believed
that was a fair mode of employing the reserve fund.
He was not himself partial to the accumulation of
reserve funds, because he believed they were more
calculated to benefit posterity than aid those who
had invested their money in the undertaking, and
who were deprived of the advantages of it.
Mr. J. STIRLING, deputy-chairman, seconded the
resolution.

RAILWAY INTEV,IGENCE.

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER

A special general meeting of ' this company was
held yesterday at the Victoria station, Pimlico, to
consider an agreement entered into with the South-
Eastern Railway Company, with a view to avoid
undue competition, and for the division and appor-
tionment of the local and continental traffic ; Lord
Harris, the deputy-chairman, presided.
Mr. JOHNSON, the secretary, having read the
notice convening the meeting, the proposed agree-
ment was taken as read, each shareholder having
had a copy of it.

The proposed traffic agreemeutbetween the South-
Eastern Railway Company and the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Company was entered into with
a view of avoiding the injurious effects of undue
competition, and of working the traffic of the two
companies more economically and efficiently ; and
was to take effect from the Ist of February, 1863.
The agreement was authorised in the last Session of
Parliament. It included and defined the local and
continental traffic of both companies, appointed a
joint committee for fixing rates, fares, and charges,
provided that there should be a common fund into
which should be paid the gross receipts of each
company from local and continental traffic as
defined, the proportion received or receivable for
through rates, fares, and charges, and all subsidies
for the carriage of mails by rail or steamboat. It
also provided for management by the joint commit-
tee and four referees in case of dispute. The follow-
ing were the most important portions of the agree-
ment :

" The common fund shall be divided and apportioned
between the two companies in the following proportions;—
To the South-Eastern To the Dover
Company. Company.
Per Cent. Per Cent.
68 32

Mr. NEVILLE moved, as an amendment--" That
the consideration of the report, with the exception
of the recommendation of a dividend, be postponed,
and that a committee of nine shareholders be ap-
pointed to examine into the affairs and manage-
ment of the company, and report thereon, and that
the meeting should adjourn to the 9th Nov. to re-
ceive the committee's report."

Mr. DENNEHY seconded the amendment.
Mr. MAuNsELL replied to the statement of Mr.
Neville, and showed that the increased expenditure
was due to the increase of the mileage of the com-
pany's line.

- The Hon. G. HANDeocK suggebted that they
should pass the report and statement of accounts as
presented, and then appoint a committee of nine
gentlemen to investigate everything connected with
the company. They would have every assistance
that the Board could give them, and if there was
anything wrong let it be pointed out. (Applause.)
The resolution for the adoption of the report and
statement of accounts was then put and carried.
The Hon. Capt. GOUGH then moved the appoint-
ment of the following committee:--Messrs. Neville,
Dennehy, Gorman, M‘Birney, Malley, Rutherford,
Drummond, Campbell, and Gough.
Mr. M. MORRIS, QC., M.P., seconded the mo-
tion.

It is not believed *that the San Sebastian and
Biarritz interviews had any political significance of
an unusual character, or were meant to have any.
They were no more than the interchange of cour-
tesies between two Sovereigns whose territories are
conterminous, and between whom there exists no
serious motives for political estrangement. The
first advances were not made by Queen Isabella,
who, if she had no decided repugnance to the
meeting, was at any rate slow in responding to
those on the other side. On the occasion of his
previous visits to this part of France the Emperor
more than once crossed the frontier ; the Empress
frequently, and these were so many indications
that the French Sovereign; who already had a
personal knowledge of all, or nearly all, the
Princes of Europe, desired to make 4 the
acquaintance of the former Sovereign of his
wife, and his near neighbour, notwithstanding the

courtesy. The Queen, it is said, contemplates the
as the climate is the same, and the country at least
as grand, and the spot equally adapted for bathing,
it is likely that this is not the last occasion the two
Sovereigns will meet. The interchange of civilities
will produce a more friendly feeling between them-
selves, and the emperor will not be sorry to win
favourable opinions, not only for himself, but for
his son, from the countrymen of the lady who shares
his throne. The Spanish character is somewhat
suspicious, even, when there is no legitimate motive
for suspicions. When the visit of Queen Isabella
o Biarritz and Bayonne was no longer a matter of
doubt there were certain indications of dissatisfac-
tion. Among other things, one might hear allusions
to the Chateau of Marrac, where her father was
coerced by the Frst Napoleon into abdicating the
crown of Spain in favour of a Bonaparte. The
blackened walls of that mansion, where the perfidy
was perpetrated, are still standing, and the Queen
might have seen them had she turned a few yards
to the left on her return from Bayonne to Biarritz
the other day. But the time has gone by for deeds
like that ; the world has undergone great changes
since then, and Napoleon 111. is a different man from
Napoleon I. An incident said to have occurred
during the Emperor's visit to San Sebastian is re-
peated with much pleasure by the Spaniards. When
the dinner-table was set out the Queen perceived
that four arm-chairs had been placed under the same
canopy at its head—for herself, the King Consort,
the Emperor, and the Empress. The story goes
that she instantly ordered two of them to be re-
moved, observing with much vivacity that under a
Royal canopy surmounted by the Crown of Spain
none but the Sovereign of Spain should sit. This
seems to have had much success among those who
deem that " the daughter of a hundred Kings "
greatly condescended in leaving her own territory,
were it but fOr a few hours, to visit a Napoleon,
however powerful.
Biarritz, from a mere bathing station, would seem
to be rising to the importance of a little capital in its
way. It receives Sovereigns, and becomes the centre
on which for a short space the attention of Europe
may be fixed. The King of the Belgians honoured
it with his presence three or four years ago. It has
just been visited by the Queen and King of Spain,
the 'Prince of Asturias, the Infanta Isabel, Prince
Amadeus of Italy, with no end of German and Russian
Princes and Spanish grandees, and it is now reported
that the King and Queen of Portugal will be here be-
fore the Emperor takes his departure. Capital or not,
Barritz is the spot where the fair sex reign absolute
and irresponsible; independent of laws, of etiquette,
or of fashion, which they change and modify at
their will, pleasure, or convenience, for walking,
riding, driving, or shopping. The shops are various.
You have Turkish bazaars, where you find Turkish
pipes, and, if you are not too hard to be pleased,
Turkish tobacco ; cimeters, dates, perfumes, arm-
lets, necklaces formed of sequins, and pistols and
daggers worthy of a pasha. In the Chinese esta-
blishment you are offered all sorts of curiosities, the
master hinaielf not the least curiosity of all. I am,
however, sceptic enough to doubt the nationality of
these Eastern merchants. I suppose that the long
tail and the costume are the only things Chinese
about him. His French has a touch of the accent
of the Boulevard St. Denis, and I am not certain
that the other Orientals have ever seen the Golden
Horn.
The principal spots for bathing are the Cote des
Basques, the inlet called the Port Vieux, where
swimmers, male and female, most congregate ; and
the Cote des Fous, now called, out of compliment

in this spot that you may see all Biarritz between
five and eight o'clock in the evening enjoying the

IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
UPWARDS OF THIRTY STACKS DESTROYED AT THROCK-
LEY.—Yesterday one of the most extensive and destruc-
tive fires which we have known for a long time as having
taken place in this district occurred at Throckley South
Farm, a short distance from Ryton. At the outset it was
feared that the entire block of buildings, which stand upon
tivo acres of ground, would have been destroyed. Owing,
however, to the efforts which were made by Michael
Spencer, Esq., of the firm of John Spencer and Son, steel
manufacturers, of Newburn, and his workmen, as well as
those in the employ of John Ramsay, Esq., of Wolverley 1
Colliery, and Mr. Stephenson's own sons, the flames were
confined to the yard connected with the farm. The damage
done was immense, amounting to upwards of £l,OOO. The
Throckley Fell South Farm is one of the finest lot of
buildings of the kind which we have in this neighbour-
hood, or we may go further, and say that we know of in
this county. The different erections occupy about two
acres of ground, and cost originally, we believe, about
£4,000. The property belongs to the Lords of the Admi-
ralty, whose agents are the commissioners of Greenwich
Hospital. The devouring element, as it may be supposed
had made considerable progress before the engine arrived,
and it was feared that the entire block of buildings would
be burnt to the ground. The lurid glare of the flames
might be seen for miles round, and caused considerable
fright amongst the residents of the neighbourhood. The
haystack in which the fire was first detected was situated
at the north-west corner of the premises. The granary and
the barn formed two sides of a square, and the stacks of
corn, hay, clover, and peas formed the other two sides, and
filled up the interior. Half an acre of ground was occupied
by the produce. A light breeze was blowing from the south-
east, so that the flames were carried away from the princi-
pal portion of the premises. Nevertheless the barn did
not escape. A large quantity of chaff was ignited, and a
valuable thrashing machine damaged. There was an awful
grandeur about the conflagration when it was at its height,
and the general appearance presented was such as to leave
little hope that the disastrous element would be made to
succumb to the exertions of the firemen and their coad-
jutors. The flames had spread from one haystack to
about 30 cornstacks, which were in close proximity, and
the scene presented may be imagined. The great heat ren-
dered it difficult for the men to work. However, they applied
themselves steadly and effectually to their task,and achieved
one goodobject in cutting off the communication which the
fire had with the barn. Water also was poured in copious
streams on the granary, and soon the area of the fire was
limited to half an acre. The number of stacks in the yard
was about 40. Of these 5 corn, 2 hay,and 1 peastack were
saved. 80 corn and 3 haystacks were totally destroyed.
One haystack comprised about 30 tons, which at £6los. per
ton would be worth £2OO. Two smaller ones were reckoned
to be worth £lOO each, consisting as they did of about 15
tons. The strenuous efforts of the firemen and neighbours
no doubt saved granary and barn. The fire swept through
the door of the latter building with great fury, and made a
draughting place through the wall. It was, however, sub-
dued and driven to the exterior. The roof of the granary
much heated and burnt, but beyond that it did not suffer.
The total damage is estimated at from £l,OOO to £1,500.
The property is insured in the Manchester Fire Insurance
Office for £1,500. Most of the corn had only been stacked
about ten days. Several stacks of corn and hay were old.
The loss is serious, viewed either with regard to the cereal
crops or the fodder which was laid up for the cattle during
the winter.—Newcastle Chronicle.
INCENDIARISM AT HEXIIAM.—On Tuesday night, about
eight o'clock, a large haystack belonging to Mr. Stephen-
son, superintendent. of the Ilexham county constabulary,
was discovered to be on fire, 'and from the fact that the fire
was seen in two or three different places there is no doubt
that it was the work of an incendiary. The stack consisted
of eight or nine tons of old land hay, and was put up in
the driest part of the past summer, so that a supposition of
spontaneous combustion is altogether out of the question.
Just before the outbreak of the flames several fellows were
seen lurking about the place, arid one of the persons who
discovered it asserts that he heard the sound of men running
away from it, but he could not see them. The fire in which
the stack was is at Bogacre, near the workhouse, and from
the first it was found to be impossible to stay the ravages of
the flames, the engine being unable to get near the place,
and no water being within half a mile of it. Mr. Stephen-
son, we learn, took the precaution to insure the stack.—
Northern Daily Express.
BURNING TWENTY-ONE STACKS NEAR GLASGOW.—About
ten o'clock yesterday morning the alarm reached the Cen-
tral Fire-brigade Office, Glasgow, that e. fire had broken out
in the stockyard of Mr. Cameron, Coshneuck, about two
miles beyond that city. When the brigade reached the scene
of the fire they found that the flames had almost gained
complete mastery, so much so that they could only remove
two stacks out of the reach of danger. Thereafter, having
little water with which to play upon the flames, they con-
fined their efforts to saving the farm-steading and barn,
which were contiguous to the stackyard. In this they were
happily successful. There were sixteen stacks of oats, three
of wheat, and three of hay in the stackyard, all of which
were entirely consumed with the exception of two.—Cale-
donian Mercury.

FIFTY-EIGHT CORNSTACRS DESTROYED BY FIRE.—On
Tuesday night a fire, which proved very destructive in its

consequences, broke out in the stackyard of Morebattle
Lofts, about a quarter of a mile from Morebattle and seven

miles south of Kelso. The farm, which is one of the largest

in the district, and with which several smaller farms are
conjoined, is in.the occupation of Mr. Cunningham; and

although not so forward as others in the neighbourhood,
harvest operations had been completed, and all the corn had
been gathered into the stackyard, which numbered fifty-
eight stacks of wheat, barley, and oats. The stackyard is
situated close to the farm offices and two or three hundred

yards from the public road. The fire was discovered shortly
after seven o'clock, and,as might be expected in the cir-
curristances, made swift progress in extending itself. Lite-
rally nothing could be done to stop its devouring progress,
although there were plenty of people soon collected from
Morebattle village and neighbouring farms who would
willingly have exerted themselves to extinguish the fire,
. . _

which soon acquired a frightful dominion within the area

of the stackyard, sending out a dense white smoke, and
lighting up the sky with a lurid glare which was seen at a

distance of upwards of ten miles. Nothing could be done
to save any of the corn stacks, and the fire consumed them
at its will ; but exertions were successfully made to save a
large haystack, and a shed was also watched to prevent its
being fired. The fire had about exhausted itself by 12
o'clock, at which time all danger of its spreading was past.
It is surmised that the loss will considerably exceed
£l,OOO, and it is reported that the insurances will not cover

half that amount.—Caledonian Mercury.
COMMITTAL OF A WOMAN FOR FIRING A STACKYARD.—
On Thursday, at Bromyard, Herefordshire, an Irish hop-
picker, named Margaret Moore, was charged before the
magistrates with setting a number of ricks on fire on the
farm of Mr. Hill, of Cradley Hall, on the borders of Here-
fordshire and Worcestershire. The fire broke out on Thurs-

day afternoon, the 14th instant, in Mr. Hill's stack-yard,
and immediately after it was discovered all the ricks in
the yard were in flames. The distance of the place from
any town where fire-engines were available prevented any
successful efforts to extinguish the flames, and the damage
done was very considerable—four wheat ricks, two bean
ricks, two hay ricks, a bag of beans, a bag of oats, and the
whole of the farming implements, including a thrashing
machine, being destroyed. The fire, in fact, was not com-
pletely extinguished until Saturday evening. It appeared
that the prisoner had been dissatisfied with her treatment
by Mr. Hill, and had made use of threatening language,
such as " Oh, never mind, him ; I'll put him enough
to do before I leave." She was discharged on the Thursday,
and was seen on the premises at half-past-three o'clock but
she was traced back again to a fire-place used by the hop-
pickers for cooking about 60 yards from the rick-yard, and
the fire broke out at four o'clock the same evening. She
was committed for trial. Stack-burning has also suddenly
become rife in the northern counties. On Wednesday an
extensive fire broke out at Throckley South Farm, on the

Tyne, and upwards of 39 stacks of Wheat and other grain
and hay were destroyed. A hay-stack belonging to Mr.
Stephenson, superintendent of the county constabulary at
Rexford has also been fired ; some wheat stacks have also

been destroyed at Winlaton-on-the-Tyne, and at Ilarbottle
Tofts, lying close upon one of the offshoots of the Cheviot
range of hills, 58 stacks of corn, the produce of the farms,
were destroyed by fire on Tuesday night. None of these
fires,h owever,mhave been traced to incendiarism except that
at 11exha.

MORTALITY OF EMIGRANTS' CHILDREN.—Since
1861. the mortality returns of New York have in-
dicated as nearly as possible not only the foreign born, but
the children of foreign born parents. The result is most
surprising. Out of every 100 children who die in this city
88 are the offspring of foreign' born parents. The resident
population was pretty equally divided in 1860 (native,
429,952 ; foreign, 383,717) ; the war has told heaviest upon
natives, so that now we may reckon the division to be about
equal, under the ordinary divisions of the census. We know
well enough that in spite of this vast disproportion of
deaths, the foreign born residents 'add their full share to
the living population of the city. What would be the re-
sult were the deaths among the children no more than
among the children of natives 2—New York Times.
A BREAK-FALL.--A singular accident occurred on
Wednesday at a house in the Faubourg St. Martin. A man
who had been previously drinking too freely was leaning
from a window on the second floor when he lost his balance
and fell astraddle on the shoulders of the mistress of a
wine-shop below, who was seated before her door. Both
rolled together on the ground, but fortunately escaped
without any serious injury.

Close to the Port Vieux, which is exclusively ap-
propriated to bathers, a port of refuge is in course
of construction pursuant to an Imperial decree pro-
mulgated the 23d of May, 1863. When the pre-
liminary works were completed 133 blocks of concrete,
of 15 cubic metres each, were sunk between the
shore and the rock which will form the extremity of
this artificial promontory, and 963 blocks of stone.
During the operations last winter a great number
of these blocks, artificial and natural, were broken,
and the fragments thrown back on the shore ; but
the blocks of both sorts already sunk form a mass
of 5,000 cubic metres, and the engineer reports
that, circumstances permitting, he shall soon reach
the outlying rock, which is about 230 feet from the
spot where the first concrete block was laid. During
one of the gales last winter four workmen, who
were on the platform collecting their tools after
their day's work, were swept off by a tremendous
wave which broke over the rock above them.
Every effort was made to save them, but no boat
could live in the surf, and they perished. A few
months ago a large statue of the Virgin was placed
on the summit of the rock. It is of cast-metal,
painted white, and figured in. the Bayonne Exhibi-
tion last year. It stands facing the ocean, and is
regarded by the fishing population not merely as
commemorative of the past, but as a hope of safety
for the future.

On Monday the Emperor, accompanied by the
Empress went to Socoa to visit the breakwater and
other works in that place, and was gratified to
learn that they had resisted the terrific storms of
last winter, which surpassed everything experienced
for the last 25 years. They also witnessed the ex-
periments made with the new lifeboat, which has
been on the coast for the last three months. They
returned late in the evening to Biarritz.
