WEST HARTLEPOOL.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday at the London Tavern ; Mr. H. R. Sandbach pre-
sided.

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

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
expressed his regret that, owing to a falling off in the coal
traffic, a sufficient revenue had not been earned to pay a
dividend of 3 per cent. to all classes of shareholders, and
this falling off, he said, was due to the coals being sent to
town direct by railway instead of by the sea, which was a very
serious diversion for the company. The Byers-green Colliery
had been sold advantageously, and arrahgements had been
entered into for the sale of the others held by the company,
which were nominally four, but really two, and which ar-
rangement would be completed about May next. The most
important subject was the proposal that the company should
amalgamate with the North-Eastern Railway Company on
condition of a guarantee of £4 per cent. per annum to the
shareholders of this company. The terms had been sent to
the shareholders, and had been received very favourably,
though there were some who desired better terms. The
proposition had caused the shares of the company to go from
70 to 76, and this fact showed the value of the amalgama-
tion to this company. The directors had, after the most
cai eful consideration, unanimously made this recommen-
dation, and they did so because they saw that there was
no prospect at all of the shareholders receiving any-
thing .like such a dividend while the line was in their own
hands. The dividend guaranteed by the North-Eastern
Company could only be reached by the West Hartlepool
doubling its traffic, which could only be done by the docks,
rolling stock, and accommodation being also increased.
With the motion of the adoption of the report, he moved
that the directors be empowered to carry out the proposed
amalgamation and ratify the provisional agreement entered
into with the North-Eastern.
Mr. DIBB seconded the motion.

The amalgamation was proposed by two shareholders,
but eventually the motion was carried. The retiring direc-
tor and auditor were re-elected, and the proceedings closed
with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

BOROUGH HOP.

Holders of English 4ops—owing to the limited supply
on offer—are very firm in their demands, and there being
a steady consumptive inquiry for most qualities, the full
prices of last week are realised without difficulty. The best
foreign hops move off steadily, at full currencies; but the
bulk of the imports, more especially as regards American
produce, being of very middling quality, inferior samples
are difficult of disposal, and are offering at comparatively
low prices. Last week's imports amounted to 305 bales
from Antwerp, 22 Ostend, 51 Bremen, 25 Dunkirk, and 50
from Boulogne.

HAMMERSMITH AND CITY.

The report of the directors stated that the capital ex-
pended amounted to £290,816, leaving a balance of £3,932.
The revenue account to the 31st of December showed that
£5,113 were the net receipts for the half-year, and £2,622
the charges, including £1,995 for interest on debentures,
leaving a balance of £2,491. Out of this sum the directors re-
commend that dividends be declared at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum on the preference shares, and at the rate of £2 4s.
per cent. per annum on the original stock of the company.
The number of passengers carried during the half-year, ex-
clusive of season ticket holders, was 1,270,140. But, large as
this number appeared, the directors were of opinion that the
traffic had been hitherto very imperfectly developed,the Grea
Western not having yet provided more than half-hour trains;
and the two temporary stations erected by the company to
accommodate the populous districts of Westbourne-park and
lth
the Uxbridge-road had not been opened. The present receipts

creased n per cent. annually until the idividend reached

thenceforward continue during the term of the lease.

PORT BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. WARREN moved as an amendment that it be read a
second time that day six months. He said that in the reign
of Charles the First a commission had been appointed to
regulate the conservancy of the river and general mercan-
tile interests of the borough of Great Yarmouth. Various
modifications had been introduced to meet the local cir-
cumstances from time to time, and the bill now
before the house was not introduced in confor-
mity with the requirements of the district or the
wishes of the inhabitants. The fact was this, that this bill
originated with the Corporation of Yarmouth, who wanted
to acquire an undue preponderance in the commission by
the proposed increase in the number of the commissioners
to 18. The city of Norwich, which he had the honour to
represent, was much interested in the bill, and had petitioned
against it. Other petitions also had been presented com-
plaining of the provisions of the measure, and under the
circumstances he trusted the house would not consent to
its adoption.
Sir H. STRACEY defended the bill, and contended that
the Corporation of Great Yarmouth was the body most
deeply-interested in this bill. Several petitions had been
presented from shipowners in favour of the bill, and he con-
tended that the opinions of those persons who were best
it,
acquainted with the subject, and the more interested in
should have Weight with hon. members. He said that
he
had not been properly treated by the hon. member who
moved the amendment.

HATFIELD AND ST. ALBAN'S.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday at the offices, King's-cross. Lord Ebury presided.
The Secretary read the report, an abstract of which has
appeared in The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which
he considered was satisfactory ; and he likewise moved that
the directors be empowered to apply to the Board of Trade
—in compliance with the Railway Companies Powers Act of
last session—for a certificate to enable them to raise addi-
tional share capital of £15,000, with the usual borrowing

powers.
Mr. CARY seconded the motion, which were agreed to.
Mr. Cary and Mr. J. H. Dillon, the retiring directors,
were re-elected, and Mr. J. C. Grinling was re-elected au-
ditor.

NEWQUAY AND CORNWALL JUNCTION.
The half-yearly meeting was held on Wednesday at S
Austell—Mr. W. L. Martin in the chair.

In moving the adoption of the report, the CHAIRMAN said
the line had been commenced by the contractors, who were
vigorously pushing:forward the works. Although it was sa-
tisfactory to know that a large amount of money had been
subscribed, it was to be regretted that several gentlemen,
whose properties the line must increase in value, had not
yet taken any pecuniary interest in the undertaking. He
thought there was every promise of fair remuneration for
investment. The report was adopted, and the retiring
directors and auditor were re-elected.

WEST YORKSHIRE,

The report states that the expenditure on capital account
up to 31st of December last had been £450,479. The revenue
account showed a balance of £12,834, which admitted of a
dividend for the half-year at the rate of 7 per cent. per an-
num, leaving a surplus of £1,900 for reserve fund, which
would then amount to £12,496, but there were several un-
settled accounts to be provided for out of it. Since the last
meeting arrangements had been made with the Great
Northern Company for the amalgamation of the two com-

SPORTING NOTES.

The Lincoln Meeting, although partially a success,
afforded no clue to the respective merits of any of the
horses who took part in the various races. Guardsman won
the Trial Stakes very easily, Fordham scoring his first win
this season. He would have been a thorn in the side of the
favourites for the Lincolnshire Handicap, if he had not met
with an accident through coming in contact with t. cab
when returning from the course on Friday. Goldylocks
won the City Handicap by a neck, Jane Shore being
second, but, like all the races which have been run at
Lincoln, it is impossible to say what would have won had
there been a proper start. The same remark equally
applies to the Brocklesby Stakes, where the favourite was
left at the post. Ozone, the winner, was purchased
when

was all over but shouting, being left at the post. An
objection was raised against the start, but the stewards
overruled it.
There are three meetings this week viz., Nottingham,
Derby, and West Drayton. There are thirteen races to be
decided, the most important of which is the Nottingham
Handicap. The Trial Stakes has twelve horses engaged, but if Catalogue enters an appearance I wuld
further for the winner. Those most trustwoorthylook no
Nottingham Handicap are Revolver, Tippler, Donn in the
ybrook
Dr. Syntax, and Heurlys. The winner, I anticipate, wil,
l
be either TIPPLER or REVOLVER. The Innkeepers' Plate
should be won by Le Marechal, who ran second to Gaily
for the Lincoln Handicap. Chapel Royal is my selection
for the Little York Stakes, and Lady Bohun or Tragedy
the Stand Plate.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

NORWICH—SATuRnAy.

There was a fair supply of wheat at this market to-day,
and the same inactivity which marked the trade of late
still exists, so that but little business was done at former
quotations. The supply of barley is now falling off, al-
though it was than equal to the demand ; there is, however,
no alteration to note in prices. In other articles little doing.
—White wheat (weighing 631 b to 641 b), 44s to 455; red
ditto (weighing 631 b to 641 b), 36s to 38s ; best malting

WOOL.

The demand for all descriptions of English wool con-
tinues to rule heavy. The quantity of produce disposed of
since our last report is small, and, in some instances,
holders have accepted less money, in order to transact
business. To-day the market, both as regards Down and
Lincoln wools, is dull, with a downward tendency in prices.

SHREWSBTJRY AND WELSHPOOL.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Thursday at Shrewsbury; the Earl of Powis presided.
Mr. A. Wragg, the secretary, read the report, which stated
that an arrangibient had been concluded for the transfer of
the undertaking to the London and North-Western Rail-
way Company, and the shareholders would be entitled to
exchange the certificates oftheir shares for coupons of Lon-
don and North-Western preference stock, bearing dividend
in perpetuity at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum from the
Ist January. The balance to the credit of the revenue ac-
count amounted to £3,639, and the directors recommended
a dividend at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum for the
past half-year.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was adopted.
A dividend at the rate of 11- per cent. per annum was de-
clared on the preference share; and one of 4s. per share on
the ordinary shares. The retiring directors, the Earl of
Powis and Mr. H. Tootal, were re-elected for the purpose
of winding up the affairs of the company.

He had already put on his third pair of yellow kid
gloves for the occasion, and they were soiled and
torn and disreputable ; his polished boots were
brown with dust.; the magenta ribbon round his
neck had become a moist rope ; his hat had
been thrown down and 'rumpled ; a ,drop of
oil had made a spot upon his trousers ; his
whiskers were draggled and Out of order, and his
mouth was full of dirt." For a happy illustration
of Mr. Trollope's humour, when at his drollest,
commend us to the whole of the chapter (in the
earlier of these two volumes) descriptive of " Mrs.
Tom Mackenzie's Dinner Party"—Mrs; Toin's din-
ner ala Russe, save the mark ! Here, for example,
as the merest scrap of if,: is the Com-neat made by
our author upon the- preliminary waiting in the
drawing-room " Almost every man," he says,
"can talk for fifteen minutes, standing in a cold
drawing-room, before dinner ; but where is the man
who can do it for an hour ? It is not his appetite
that impedes him, for he could well have borne to
dine at eight instead of seven ; nor is it that
matter lacks him, for at other times his eloquence
does not cease to flow so soon. But at that special
point of the day he is supposed to talk for fifteen
minutes, and if any prolonged call is then made upon
him, his talking apparatus falls. out of order and
will not work. You can sit still on a Sunday
morning, in the cold, on a very narrow bench,
with 'no comfort appertaining, and listen for
half an' hour to a rapid outflow of words, which,
for any purpose of instruction or edification,
are absolutely useless to you. The reading to
you of the Qua genus,' or 'As in prxsenti,'
could not be more uninteresting. Try to un-
dergo the same thing in your own house on a
Wednesday afternoon, and see where you will be."
But all the rest of it—particularly what relates to
the'dinner itself—the anticipatory snubbing of Mrs.
Cook by Mr. Grandairs from the Pastrycook's—
the incident of the single bottle .of Champagne
and so forth—the whole chapter, in fact, though
all the while in the quietest way in the
world, is deliciously and irresistibly humorous.
Altogether; this story of " Miss Mackenzie," as a
story of home-life among the middle classes—is yet
another of Mr. Anthony Trollope's ever-welcome
additions to that light literature of the circulating
libraries, which has floated his name by means of a
very Fleet of Fiction (of his own building, and
launching) hither and thither upon so widely ex
tended a sea of popularity !

HATFIELD AND ST. ALBAN'S.

Tho half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday at the offices, King's-cross. Lord Ebury presided.
The Secretary read the report, an abstract of which has
appeared in The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which
he considered was satisfactory ; and he likewise moved that
the directors be empowered to apply to the Board of Trade
—in compliance with the Railway Companies Powers Act of
last session—for a certificate to enable them to raise addi-
tional share capital of .£15,000, with the usual borrowing
powers.
Mr. CARY seconded the motion, which were agreed to.
Mr. Cary and Mr. J. H. Dillon, the retiring directors,
were re-elected, and Mr. J.
C. Grinling was re-elected au-
ditor.

NEWQUAY AND CORNWALL JUNCTION.
The half-yearly meeting was held on Wednesday at St.
Austell—Mr. W. L. Martin in the chair.
In moving the adoption of the report, the CHAIRMAN said
the line had been commenced by the contractors, who were
vigorously pushing:forward the works. Although it was sa-
tisfactory to know that a large amount of money had been•
subscribed, it was to be regretted that several gentlemen,
whose properties the line must increase in value, had not
yet taken any pecuniary interest in the undertaking. He
thought there was every promise of fair remuneration for
investment. The report was adopted, and the retiring
directors and auditor were re-elected.

MISTLEY, THORPE, AND WALTON.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Manningtree on Wednesday Capt. Jervis, M.P., in the
chair.

The report stated that the directors had purchased, on
equitable terms, the land required for the first section of the
line from Mistley to Tendring, a distance of nearly six
miles, and the contractor held out hopes that this portion of
the line would be completed and ready for traffic by June 1.
Arrangements were being made for the construction of the
second section of the line, from Tendring to Thorpe, a fur-
ther distance of nearly three miles. The capital account
showed that £14,119 had been expended, leaving a balance
of £646.

were re-elected, and Mr. W. J. Shansfield, the retiring
auditor, was also re-elected.

KETTERING, THRAPSTON, AND HUNTINGDON.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Thursday at the offices, Poet's Corner, Westminster ; Mr.
Lancaster in the chair.

Mr. Arbuthnott, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that considerable progress had been made in the con-
struction of the works by Messrs. Waring, the contractors,
and the directors confidently believed that the line would
be ready for public traffic in August next. Under the
agreement with the Midland Company the interest on the
debentures would be a first charge on the gross receipts of
the railway before making any deduction for expenses. The
Midland Company ware to work the line for seven years,
taking 40 per cent. for working expenses, and handing over
the 60 per cent. to the company. After the expiration of
the seven year's the Midland Company were to take 50 per
cent. for working and maintenance, handing over the
balance to the company.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. PAIN,
the report was unanimously adopted, the retiring director,
Mr. W. B. Greenfield, was re-elected, as was also the retir-
ing auditor, and the meeting separated.

The Wanderer of Vienna states, on the authority
of a communication from St. Petersburg, that the Russian
Government intends to take away from the city of Warsaw
the character of a capital, transferring elsewhere the prin-
cipal administration; the university, and the Bank, and
leaving nothing but the head-quarters of a body of troops.
The report that Russia had levied taxes in Bok-
hara is formally !denied by the Journal de St. Peterslourg,
which adds that Russia has no representative at I3okhara
and has not taken possession of Tash-end, as announced
by late accounts from Bombay.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]-IIOIIOWaY'S PillB*—Cold and Wet.--
The injurious effects of cold and piercing wind tell on the
strongest frames, impair the functions of the skin, and
thereby throw an undue proportion of blood on the in-
ternal organs. The only means of preventing disease,
under these circumstances, consists in augmenting the
secretions of the engorged organs, which can be easily
accomplished by Holloway's Pills. These will enable the
liver and kidneys to relieve themselves safely and rapidly
of their oppressive congestion, at the same time that they
renew an equable circulation of the blood. This salutary
step is gained without any drawback. Holloway's Pills
purify and strengthen simultaneously—they improve the
appetite and permit its gratification without the bugbear of
dyspepsia or worse disorders.
London, England, 1865-02-27

WEST HARTLEPOOL.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday at the London Tavern ; Mr. H. R. Sandbach pre-
sided.

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

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
expressed his regret that, owing to a falling off in the coal
traffic, a sufficient revenue had not been earned to pay a
dividend of 3 per cent. to all classes of shareholders, and
this falling off, he said, was due to the coals being sent to
town direct by railway instead of by the sea, which was a very
serious diversion for the company. The Byers-green Colliery
had been sold advantageously, and arrangements had been
entered into for the sale of the others held by the company,
which were nominally four, but really two, and which ar-
rangement would be completed about May next. The most
important subject was the proposal that the company should
amalgamate with the North-Eastern Railway Company on
condition of a guarantee of £4 per cent. per annum to the
shareholders of this company. The terms had been sent to
the shareholders, and had been received very favourably,
though there were some who desired better terms. The
proposition had caused the shares of the company to go from
70 to 76, and this fact showed the value of the amalgama-
tion to this company. The directors had, after the most
caa eful consideration, unanimously made this recommen-
dation, and they did so because they saw that there was
no prospect at all of the shareholders receiving any-
thing like such a dividend while the line was in their own
hands. The dividend guaranteed by the North-Eastern
Company could only be reached by the West Hartlepool
doubling its traffic, which could only be done by the docks,
rolling stock, and accommodation being also increased.
With the motion of the adoption of the report, he moved
that the directors be empowered to carry out the proposed
amalgamation and ratify the provisional agreement entered
into with the North-Eastern.
Mr. DIBB seconded the motion.

The amalgamation was proposed by two shareholders,
but eventually the motion was carried. The retiring direc-
tor and auditor were re-elected, and the proceedings closed
with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
