shareholders would have all the information possessed by
the directors placed before them about eight days prior to
the 21st of March, on which day it was intended to hold a
meeting for the full consideration of this important sub-
ject. He believed the arrangement would be a good one for
the company, and he hoped it would be sanctioned by the
shareholders. He was satisfied that the bargain now offered
was one which he could not but recommend to the pro-

prietors.
Mr. HERAPATH inquired if it was intended to merge the
Vale of Neath in the Great Western, or merely to lease the
line to that company.
The CHAMMAN replied that it was intended to be an ab-

The meeting was then adjourned to the 21st of March.

WEST YORKSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Monday at Brad-
ford ; Mr. W. Frith in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
showed that since the year 1858, when the working of
the line commenced, there had been a progressive in-
crease in the receipts from £13,273 in 1858, to £31,805 in
1864, and it was his conviction that the line would still
continue to give increased earnings yearly. Tho dividend
of the Great Northern being only 71 per cent. the dividend
payable to the proprietors of West Yorkshire stock would be
under the agreement of £9 19s. 6d. per cent., instead of (as
was expected at the time of agreement) £lO 10s. per cent.
Mr. WALKER seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously.
A dividend of £7 per cent. was then declared, payable on
the -6th of March, and the retiring directors and auditor
were re-elected.

CRYSTAL PALACE AND SOUTH LONDON

JUNCTION-

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Tuesday at the Victoria Station, Westminster, Sir C. Roney
in the chair.

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

The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said the works
on the line and at the stations were in so forward a state
that there was every reason to believe it would be com-
pleted and opened for traffic on the Ist of July to the new
high level station at the Crystal Palace, and the Brighton
Company would complete by the same date their portion of
the South London that gave access from the Victoria and
Ludgate stations to the Crystal Palace and South
London.

Sir C. H. limn seconded the adoption of the report and
it was carried unanimously.
Mr. E. W. Edwards and Mr. T. Holroyd were re-elected
directors, and Mr. Weise auditor.

ItAitIVAY PASSENGERS' AS SURACE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was heldyester..
Ly at the offices, Cornhill ; Mr. J. Clay, M.P., in the chair.

Vian, the secretary, read the report, which stated

that the premiums of assurance against railway and general
accidents for the half.year ending December 31 last,
amounted to 4'36,440, against £30,193 in the corresponding
halt of 1863. The total income of the company for pre-
miums in the year 1864 was £74,428, against £61,850 in
1863, being an increase of £12,578, or '20.33 per cent. A
further amount of £1,314 was received for interest on in-
vestments, &c., making the total income from all sources
£75,741. The working expenses, including the cost of the
Company's Act last Session, were at the rate of 29.76 per
cent. on the premiums, against 31.11 per cent. in the pre-
vious year. The balance to the credit of revenue was £27,930
From this sum the directors proposed declaring a bonus at,
the rate of 2s. per share, of which one-half would be paid in
cash, and the other half added to the shares. Interest at the
rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital would
be paid as usual. The amount of compensation paid in the
year 1864 was, for 26 fatal cases, £13,669 ; and for 2,285
non-fatal claims, £30,389; total, £44,058, or 59.19 per cent.
of the premiums received, all of which were satisfactorily
settled, without dispute or recourse to law.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was adopted,
the bonus declared, and the retiring directors and auditors
were re-elected.

The Reported Loss of H.IT S. Galatea.

We are requested by the Admiralty to publish
the following :

" We learn on inquiry at the Admiralty that no
information has been received there of the reported
loss of her Majesty's frigate Galatea, off Cape
Henry, on the coast of North America, beyond a
report received at Lloyd's, where it is not believed.
Should any further intelligence be received it will
be immediately made public.
" Admiralty, March 2, 1865."

The following is the paragraph alluded to above:

REPORTED Loss OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP GALATEA.
—A telegram was received yesterday at Lloyd's to the
effect that her Majesty's ship Galatea, Captain Maguire, of
26 guns, 3,227 tons, 800 horse-power, with a crew of MO
officers and men, had been totally lost off Cape Henry, not
far from the mouth of the Chesapeake, and that very great
anxiety existed as to the safety of the crew. The intelli-
gence was immediately forwarded to the Admiralty.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
LIVERPOOL, March 2.

The reported loss of H.M.S. Galatea is doubtless
unfounded, since private letters from Norfolk to the
11th and 12th say she was still in the Roads, where
she would be perfectly secure. Papers say, how-
ever, that two barges filled with men belonging to
the Galatea were sent on the 12th ult. to rescue a
boat which had broken adrift from the frigate with
one man in it. The barges were carried by a storm
on to the beach at Cape Henry, and it is supposed
that all hands perished. A steam tug was sent to
their assistance, but was compelled to put back by
a storm. This, doubtless, accounts for the rumoured
loss of the frigate.

LLYNVI VALLEY.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Tuesday at the Great
Western Hotel, Paddington ; Mr. Macgregor in the chair.:
The Secretary read the report, which stated that the re-
ceipts this year were £10,716, against £9,459 for the corre-
sponding six months. The litigation carried on by the
freighters for a reduction of rates had been concluded. A
dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. to the ordinary share-
holders was recommended.

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report.

Mr. BIIRDON moved as an amendment that 5 per cent.
dividend should be paid, the extra sum to come out of the
reserve fund. _

Mr. Wooworr showed that the directors were acting
very wisely in keeping a reserve fund.
The amendment was withdrawn, and the original motion
carried.

A dividend of 5 per cent. per annum on the first and.
second preference shares was then declared, and a resolu-
tion empowering the directors to raise £30,000 additional
share capital for the improvement of the Porthcawl harbour
having been agreed to, the proceedings terminated.

.ANNITITIES.

Mr. SALT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what
steps t p he intended to take in order to bring the new regula-
tions with respect to the purchase of Government annuities
and of payments at death prominently before the notice of
those persons for whose benefit the regulations had been
framed, &c.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Government was anxious to afford any information to those
interested in this subject. The tables and regulations had

been drawn up in great detail, but they could be ea sily
procured and at a small expense.
ARMSTRONG GUNS.
Mr. LAIRD asked whether her Majesty's Government
were aware that Armstrong guns were being manufac-
tured by the Elswick Ordnance Company for foreign go-
vernments; and, if so, whether permission to do so had
been . granted to that firm by the Secretary of State for
War

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it had been de-
cided, after enquiry, that the Government had no power to
prohibit the manufacture of these guns for foreign coun-
tries, but they were not hi possession of official information
of their being sent to foreign countries.
THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN.
Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he
had any objection to lay upon the table copies of any re-
ports made by Captain Sherard Osborn, R.N., on the vari-
ous trials of the Royal Sovereign during the time she was
in commission ?

Lord C. PAGET said he had no desire to withhold any
information on this subject, and during the discussion on
the navy estimates he would be happy to supply any such
information as hon. members might require. However,
he strongly objected to the system of laying the reports of
officers employed by Government on the table.

METROPOLITAN AND ST. JOHN'S-WOOD.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Tuesday at the
offices, Duke-street, Westminister—Mr. Austin presiding.
The Secretary having read the notice convening the
meeting,
The CHAramAN said as the prospectus of the company
had been so recently issued, the directors had no report,
but they trusted at their next meeting to announce that they.
had made considerable progress with the line. Arrangements
had been made with the Metropolitan for working the line
at 50 per cent. of the receipts. Some fault had been found
with the arrangement, but it must be borne in mind that the
Metropolitan would have to work the traffic on a single line,
and with gradients worse than their own, as well as to find
the working stock and the interest on the capital for it, and
all this would be a considerable drawback to the 50 per cent.
they were to receive. It had been objected that they had
only a single line and a tunnel only wide enough for it, but
if it was not sufficient for the traffic it could be increased.
When they considered the great population of the district
of St. John's-wood, together with the neighbourhoods of
Hampstead, Kilburn, and Edgware, which would all contri-
bute, they would then form an idea of the prospects of the
traffic. The directors were in treaty with the Metropolitan
Railway relative to further arrangements.
Mr. LUCAS then moved that the chairman be re-elected a
director, and that a sum of £BOO a year be voted to the
directors, the chairman to receive £3OO, and the other
directors £125 each.
Considerable discussion ensued, and ultimately the vote

was passed. _ --
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to questions, said the whole of
the shares had not yet been subscribed for.

VALE OF NEATH.

The half-yearly meeting of this.company was held on
Tuesday at the Great Western Hotel, Paddington ; Mr. N.
E. Vaughan in the chair.
The Secretary having read the advertisement convening
the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said that the proprietors were doubtless
aware of. the provisional arrangements which had been
entered into with the Great Western Company, and which
were intended to Conclude in an amalgamation. [To believed
the amount which would be guaranteed to the shareholders

Mr. BAXTER, the solicitor, then read the agreement with
the Great Western Company, by which it appeared that
the company agreed to complete the line, and work it at a
charge of 50 per cent.
After a long discussion, it was resolved that the agree-
ment be approved, subject to certain conditions relative to
the completion of the line by the contractor.
London, England, 1865-03-02

HAMMERSMITH AND CITY.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Tuesday at the
offices, Bedford-street, Strand.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The
Sun, was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
stated that it was intended to call another meeting for the
purpose of authorizing the transfer of the line to the Great

Mr. SURGEY seconded the motion, which was carried.
The retiring directors, Mr. Ogilvy and Mr. Williams, and
the retiring auditor were re-elected.

to the public tenders spoken of in the preceding
article, will be passed to the general deposit bank.
This establishment will receive the sums for which '
the taxpayers are liable, will give the discount or
make the allowance to which they are entitled, and
will deliver for the entire amount special bonds,
bearing interest at six per cent., transferable upon
endowment, and exchangeable for the hypothecated
bonds. So long as the obligations have not been
exchanged, holders will have the option, every half-
year, of receiving the corresponding amount of
interest or the repayment of the proportionate part
making up, as regards the total amount of the obli-
gations, the sum of the equivalent hypothecated
bonds in the bank of deposit, which are to be re-
deemed in the drawing of the said, half-year. The
discount or allowance made to the taxpayers who
shall not pay their quotas direct to the treasuries
will be reduced to 2 per cent., the said 2 per cent.
being given, in lieu of all kinds of costs, to the
municipalities or those charged to carry out the
levy.

" Art. 3. The provinces of Alava, Guipuzcoa,
Navarre, and Biscay, will be included in the opera-
tion of the present law, in the following form and
proposition :—The deputation will make the de-
liveries direct, and will receive the hypothecated
bonds with the proper discount or allowance, in the
terms of Art. 1.

" Art. 4. The authorisation granted by the law
of June 16th last to the Bank of Spain to issue an
amount of 1,300 millions in hypothecated bonds, is,
and remains, limited to 1,000 million reals, without
that limitation diminishing the annual sum of 200
millions intended for the payment of the interest
and the redemption of the said bonds. The
amount of the bonds in possession of the holders of
unredeemed property, which must be returned to
the Bank of Spain, fixed by the above law, of 1,700
millions, is reduced to 1;230 million reals. That
establishment shall return to the Treasury in bonds
falling due at the latest date, such surplus bonds
above the 1,230 millions as it may actually receive.

The Passage of the Andes.

A letter from Buenos Ayres addressed to the
11finiteur gives the following interesting details re-
specting a proposal to shorten the time occupied in
the passage of the Andes :
" A Frenchman, M. Adolphe Carpentier, residing
at Chili, has submitted to the Argentine Govern-
ment n project for the purpose of opening a .prac-
ticable route for carriages across the Corderillas of
the Andes by the passage of the Teno. This gentle-
man will, at his own cost, and within three years,
complete the new road, the cost of which he esti-
mates at 200,000 piastres, and in return for this
outlay he seeks a concession for 20 years of the
right of levying toll on the carriages and animals
which may pass along the route.
" The Argentine Government has issued a decree
accepting this proposition in general terms, but re-
serving to itself the determination of the duration
and amount of the tolls after the delivery of the
plans and estimates. There would appear to be no
probability of encountering serious engineering dif-
ficulties on the route, as the only ascent to be sur-
mounted is scarcely comparable to many of those
which are surmounted by carriages in Chilian terri-
tory. At present the passage of the Teno is only
practicable on foot in winter, and on horse or mule
back in summer. The new route, on the contrary,
will be practicable for carriages at nearly all seasons,
and the parts which are covered with snow in win-
ter can always be crossed by horses or mules. After
the completion of the road a traveller leaving for
Valparaiso, after proceeding to Santiago by the rail-
way in five hours, can again start by rail next morn-
ing, and, on reaching San Fernando, can avail him-
self of the diligence, which in one day will convey
him to the foot of the Cordilleras. On the follow-
ing day he can cross these mountains, and in 62
hours he will be enabled to reach Mendoza, where
there is a weekly service of diligences, which make

Betting—Even on Oscar, who made nearly all the run-
ning, and won by half a length ; a similar distance between
second and third.

The winner was objected to on the ground of his rider
being a professional, and the second was objected to as
having been wrongly described.
The objection against the Abbott, the winner of tho
Macaroni Stakes, has been withdrawn.

love money—Confederate money even at 45 for one

—better than life itself. We must sustain our Govern-
ment. To the President we should turn with con-
fidence and trust, not as a man infallible—that
wonder which has never been seen in the history
of the world—but as a man who has been chosen
by ourselves, endowed by the Almighty with some
sterling qualities at least, as a man whom we have
chosen as helmsman while the tempest is rolling
high, and when a single mistake may dash us to
pieces. Woe to the crew which rises at such a
perilous hour to do what they think ought to be
done in the very crisis of fate. To Congress I would
say, tax heavily, and feed and clothe the soldiers
who stand between us and subjugation, though the
teeth of the people chatter with starvation. This
answer of Lincoln has freed us from submis' sionists.
There are some who have weak knees or enervated
spinal, columns, but this answer is a specific for their
diseases. There is not a member of Congress who
cannot now go back and say to his penp/P, " I took
some of your horses, and negroes, and provisions,
in fact I took half you had, but I took it to keep
Lincoln from getting the whole of it." • The people
not in the army have their sacred duty. They
should be cheerful, hopeful, and cease complain-
ing. One would think from their complaints
that they had been in the trenches eating corn bread,
and sometimes without that, instead of taking their
soup and fish at home.

WSPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS,

TIMES.—The news from China is that every part
of the vast Empire is more or less distracted by
insurrection, brigandage, and discontent. Even the
distant western provinces, far away from us and our
traffic, have each their little rebellion ; and the rich
Sz'chuen, where every Chinaman is said to be well
fed and well dressed, has an immigration of the old
Taeping locusts feeding on its fatness. It is the
normal condition of an overpeopled country, with a
chain of Government rotten and rusted in every
link. The only matter which greatly interests. us
practically is to know how near these people are to
our commercial ports, and what effect they are likely
to have upon our interests. We heard some time
ago that seven provinces had been proclaimed in the
Pekin Gazette that a great number of cities had been

just taken and sacked, and that a seaport which was
about to be opened to our trade had been attacked
and destroyed. • But when we are now told that the
disorganised bands of the Taepings are in consider-
able force in Fohkien, and hold a large portion of
Chekiang, and have had hard fighting in Kiangsi,
the ordinary reader derives about as much informa-
tion from these tidings as if he had been given to
understand that they had taken possession of that
hemisphere of the moon which is hidden from human
observation. • It may be useful therefore to those
who may desire to retain some general knowledge
of, the progress of events in the extreme East to
state that thes6 two provinces of Kiangsi and Fohkien

occupy that part of the empire which extends from
about 150 miles south Of our treaty port of Ningpo
to a point about 100 miles north of Canton, and
that this region includes the habitations of nearly
40 millions of inhabitants and the larger portion of
the coast line between Canton and Shanghai.
Fohkien is a maritime province, and contains our
two treaty ports of Foochow and Amoy, and
Kiangsi is the province which lies immediately
behind it, inland, and extends up to the Yangtze
river- Its name indeed is said to mean " the Pro-
vince West of the River." From the statement of

our correspondent—who now appears to think that
Canton itself is again in danger—it would appear

that the operations of the insurgents are not Con-
fined to these provinces, and it may be generally

assumed that the disturVances include all the coast

countries which lie between Ningpo and Canton, and

also the mountains and vast tea districts which lie
