SALISBURY AND DORSET JUNCTION.

In reference to the proceedings at the meeting of this
company, an account of which appeared in The Sun of
Wednesday, the contractor states that he has a claim on the
company of £25,000 for work done, which can be certified
by several first-class engineers ; that nearly one half of the
railway was made, and out of £172,000 he had 22,000 shares,
which, turned into cash, only left him £ll,OOO ; that out
of this sum he had paid for preliminaries and materials
£B,OOO, which would leave him £3,000 for nearly 8 miles
of railway. He adds that if he had been paid monthly,
which was not done, the workmen would have been paid ;
that for the last two months he had worked with 700 men
and about 80 horses, and had not received one shilling for
it ; that he had not given up possession, and had plenty
of plant and materials on the line ; and that he was in a
position to finish the railway in a satisfactory manner be-
fore the end of July next, which would be six months before
the time given him for the completion of the contract.

DUNABITRG AND WITEPSS (LIMITED).
The annual general meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern; Mr. T. A. Mitchell, m.p,
in the chair.
The report stated that the bulk of the earthworths be-
tween Dunaburg and Polotsk, a distance of nearly 100 miles
had already been completed, and several miles of the per-
manent way laid down and ballasted ; and that so soon
as the weather permitted operations between Polotsk and
Witepsk a further distance of 61 miles would be com-
menced.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that the works had progressed at a more rapid rate than
had been anticipated, and this had obliged the directors to
call up the large amount of f... 30 per share. The engineer
assured the directors that the line would be completed
within the original estimate, and there was no doubt that
when completed the traffic would be most remunerative.
Mr. GOSCHEN, M.P., seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report, which was agreed to.

The retiring directors, Mr. doschen, and Mr. Bischoff-
sheim, were re-elected, and Mr. Levick and Mr. Fitzwagram
were also elected, an addition of two directors being re-
quired under the articles of association.
The retiring auditors, Mr. Coleman and Mr. Sim, were
re-elected, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of
thanks to the chairman.

RAILWAY BILLS.
Yesterday the Examiners took into consideration tho
following bills :
Sovra-EASTERN.—To enable the corapany to make four
new lines—the first commencing near Deptford Creek and
terminating by a junction with the London, Chatham, and
London, England, 1865-02-21

WEST HARTLEPOOL.

The report of the directors states that the receipts on re-
venue account from all sources during the past half-year
amountedto£l3s,3l7, and the payments to £64,933, leaving
a net revenue of £70,384, which exceeded that for the cor-
responding half of 1863 by £7,855. After deducting interest
on loans and other preferential charges, the holders of the
class A stock, being the former debenture holders, could
receive out of the six-sevenths of the surplus to which they
were now limited a dividend at the rate of £2 16s. 6d. per
cent. annum,h being at the same rate as was paid out of
the s last half-year ; and the remaining one-
enpteirres urp
one-
seventh, after pro-riding a like dividend for the class B
stock, would yield to the holders of ordinary stock a divi-
dend at the rate of £2 3s. 6d. per cent. per annum. Those
dividends would absorb £41,178, and leave £7B for next
account. The gross receipts for the half-year ending Dec.
31 last amounted to £135,317, and for the corresponding
half of 1863 to £126,036, showing an increase of £9,281.
The expenditure amounted to £64,933, against £63,507,
showing an increase of £1,426. The net revenue of the com-
pany for the year 1864 amounted to £131,598, for the year
1863 to £116,288, and for the year 1862 to £92,784, showing
an increase over 1863 of £15,310, and over 1862 of £38,814.
The export of coal had fallen off considerably during the
half-year, the revenue from this source being less by £2,691
than in the corresponding half of 1863. The passenger re-
venue had shown a steady increase during the whole half-
year, amounting in the aggregate to 22 per cent., the total
receipts for passengers for the past half-year having been
£ll,OBO, against £9,082. The Byers-green colliery had been
disposed of since the last report on favourable terms, and
the remaining collieries would be offered for sale as soon as
practicable. A provisional agreement for the amalgamation
of this company with the North-Eastern Railway Company
had been entered into, the basis of which was as follows:

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A DILAPIDATED HOUSE.—Joseph Nixon, the owner of
the house, 5, lioldbrook-court, Tottenham-court-road,
appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of
Mr. T. Curtis, sanitary inspector of St. Pancras, of having
the house in such a state as to be unfit for human habita-

Mr. D. Cooper, solicitor to the parish of St. Pancras,
appeared in support of the summons.
Mr. Curtis gave evidence to the effect that the drains in
the house were all choked up with dirt, the rooms were in
a filthy state, the flooring of the house broken away, seve-
ral of the rooms without windows, and the house altogether
in such a dilapidated state as to be unfit for human habita-

Dr. Hillier, the medical officer of the parish, corroborated
Mr. Curtis, and said the house was unfit for human habita-

The defendant said had not received any rent for months.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the defendant how he could expect
,o get any.

The defendant said all he got when he went to the house
was black eyes and ill-usage.
In answer to Mr. Cooper, the defendant said he would
rather the parish would carry out what was required titan
do it himself.

The magistrate granted an order for the necessary repairs
,o be done and the removal of the nuisance. •

DISPUTED FIRE REWARD.—Mrs. Williams, of 5, Ryder-
street, was summoned by James Jervis, engine keeper of
St, James's, for refusing to pay a fire reward.
It appears that a chimney was on fire at Mrs. Williams's
house, and the engine keepers went there with their
engines, the fire on their arrival being seen coming from
the chimney. Mrs. Williams refused to admit the firemen,
and they were therefore obliged to go through the next
house and climb over a roof to get at the chimney. On the
firemen subsequently getting into Mrs. Williams's, she
abused them in a shameful manner, calling them scoundrels,
thieves, &c.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, after hearing Mrs. Williams and her cook,
said he never heard a clearer case, and it was too bad to
refuse the firemen, who often risked their lives, admission,
and then to abuse them in such a scandalous manner. Ile
should order the reward with full costs.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

It is a positive happiness to see again a thoroughly
artistic performance of a stage play,
after the abortive
attempts made to force on the play-going public the crude
efforts of immature pretension ; and we saw with delight
last night the reproduction of that excellent comedy,
"Masks and Faces," in which Mr. Webster and Mrs. Stir-
ling play the principal parts. Bad art of any kind is not
only disagreeable, but it lowers the tone of the mind ; and
however it may be decked out with meretricious appliances,
it always produces nausea. True art is an unmistakeable
thing, and whoever can truly appreciate it is never misled
by the false, whatever conspiracy there may be to pass off
the spurious for the real. We trust that Mr. Webster, now
that ho has-again returned to his own stage, will give us
more of himself and of that excellent company he pos-
sesses.

THE SEQUEL OF A PRIZE FIGHT IN AMERICA.—
The Philadelphia Press of the 3d has a long account
of a prize fight which had just taken place there in the
presence of some 1,200 people. Just as it was over, "an
alarm was given that the military were at hand, and every-
one was on the scamper. Scattering shots were soon heard
and the whistling of the deadly leaden missiles were soon
distinctly audible. Numbers made their escape, but some
250 were kept within the enclosure by the bayonets of the
United States regulars, who seemed to relish the idea of
shooting a few of their prisoners. All were ordered to fall
into line, and the prisoners were marched to the Claymont
station. The prisoners took every opportunity of escaping,
and by the time the train arrived at Wilmington there were
not more than 60, and some of those afterwards escaped.
The party were marched through the streets like a drove
of sheep, and placed under guard in an empty building of
the most filthy description. After two hours' detention the
party was marched to the City Hall, where they were kept
standing for nearly an hour to the delight of the gaping
citizens. All were ultimately turned over to the mayor,
who, on Friday, discharged the whole lot, with the excep-
tion of the unfortunate loser, Ward, who was bound over
to answer."

LONDON TUESDAY, FEB. 21, 1865.

The discussion which took place last night in the
House of Lords respecting the defences of Canada
will be read with the deepest interest. The import-
ance of the matter is sograve, a ve, the uneasiness which
is felt at the conduct
ofthewell_feaFederal States is so
wide-spread and
well-founded, that
that so far from
demurring at the proposed outlay of the public
money, the principal feelings expressed by their
Lordships were regret that it had not taken place
earlier, and surprise that it was not thought ad-
visable to make a larger and more immediateexpen
cliture. This will probably be the view taken- o;
the discussion by the public generally, and the
question why, when the danger is certainly not
only possible but probable, only one quarter of the
sum proposed to be raised should be expended
during the current year will be echoed outside the
House of Peers. The debate of last evening was,
of course, a debate and nothing more, since the
vote has not yet been even proposed in the Com-
mons, but it arose from Lord LiYEDEN'S endea-
vouring to elicit some information from the Ministry
vecting Colonel JIB-voIS'S recent report on the

TAT TEES ALL'S -MONDAY.

The frost to-day was the means of keeping many racing
men in town who would otherwise have been at Datchet
or en route to Lincoln. The consequence was that the
Subscription-room was well attended, although, however,
the amount of actual business done was by no means im-
portant. There was a bit of a rush to back Emblematic at
the Victoria Club in the early part of the day for the
Liverpool Steeplechase, 9 to 1 having been taken kindly,
and she was in continued request at Hyde Park-corner,
where as little as 8 to 1 was noted among the early arrivals
—but as the numbers increased she declined several points,
and although 10 to 1 was offered until there was hardly
one left to respond, 12 to 1 would have been the lowest
taking price. This retrogression, added to the fact of her
noble owner being present (the first time this year) did not
inspire her early backers with any overweening confidence
in their chance of success. Not so with Liddington for the
Two Thousand, the furore about whom at " the Club" in
the morning had not only not abated, but had even in-
creased, inasmuch as that at 9 to 2 he was supported freely
to money. Tho only feature of the Chester Cup betting
was the advance of Ackworth to 100 to 7 (taken). Lidding-
ton was steady at his old quotation of 11 to 2 for the Derby.

TESTING THE ARMSTRONG GUNS.

Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the Under Secretary of State
for War whether any batteries of the present service pat-
tern of 12-pounder Armstrong field guns, as reconstructed
and shortened since May, 1863, had been subjected to the
100 shotted rounds of continuous rapid fire such as disabled
six out of twelve guns of the previous pattern at Shorn-
cliffe in 1862, and caused the above reconstruction; and if
any gun of the present pattern, with an inner tube of steel
or coiled iron, had stood 1,000-shotted rounds of rapid fire,
and if so, whether he would lay the report of these trials
upon the table of the house ? _ _

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said that the guns had
been shortened but not reconstructed, and they worked
satisfactory. He was not aware that any experiments such
as those alluded to were necessary, or had been made.

METROPOLITAN C ATTLE.
Our market to-day was rather scantily supplied with
beasts, both as to number and quality. Prime breeds
moved off freely, at full prices ; otherwise, the beef trade
was heavy, at late rates. A few very superior beasts
realised 5s 6d per 81bs. Several head, suffering from disease,
were seized by the authorities.
The supply of sheep was only moderate. The mutton
trade was Blow, nevertheless prices were supported. The
best Downs and half-brads sold at fully 6s 4d per Blbs.
Lambs came rather more freely to hand, and the demand
for them was inactive, at from 6s to 7s per 81bs. Calves
moved off slowly, on former terms--viz., from 4s 2d to 5s
2d per 81bs. Pigs and milch cows were tolerably firm in
price.
