WATERFORD AND KILKENNY RAILWAY. —The half-
yearly general meeting of this company took place yes-
terday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; Mr.
Hadow in the chair. A. report was read, of which we
give the following abstract :—The delay which has oc-
curred in completing the line from Knockwilliam to
Dunkitt, for a period so much beyond the time alluded
to in former reports, has been a source of deep anxiety
and disappointment to the directors ; they have, how

half-year. This is chiefly attributable to the very un-
favourable weather which has prevailed during that
period. The goods traffic has increased ; and now that
the difficulties which have deterred parties from sending
produce by the railway are in a great degree removed,
the directors hope that this portion of traffic will in
future realize the expectations which have been held out
as to its remunerative character. A slight increase has
taken place in the per tentage of working expenses,
owing to the employment of an additional staff for the
new portion of the line. The Kilkenny and Great

per showed that in 1852 the importation of sheep's wool
was 91,692,864 lbs., of which 11,266,939 lbs., were re-
exported, leaving 80,425,925 lbs. Of goats' hair or wool,
2,564,330 lbs. were imported last year, and the quantity

NEWTON SUMMER MEETING.
This meeting, under the transmuting touch of the turf
alchemist., Mr. Topham, bkb, fair to carry its head as
high as most of its rivals having greater Pretensions.
The stewards are the Earl of Chesterfield, G. Payne, and
T. E. Legh, Esqs. The serviecs of Mr. Johnson, of
York, have been secured as judge, awl those of Mr.
Ilibburd as starter. An excellent rule has been intro-
duced by Mr. Tophain in the reguiiitions, to the effect
that when the number of a horse lias once been exhibited
on the telegraph, it shall not be allowed to be withdrawn,
unless from accid.

a high opinion of the horse as the public does. They are
not a very bright lot, perhaps, with the exception of
FIRST LORD, who ought to finish in company with
BARREL in the first and second places, and CZARINA in
the third.
The Handicap Plate of 70 sous. (with a penalty of 4lbs
for the winner of the Trial, or of any other handicap,
after the publication of the weights, of the value of 1001.
clear, 71bs extra), . one mile and a quarter, will be
the principal race of the day having obtained an entry
numbering twenty-nine. The Italian figures at the top
of the list, but is of no use whatever I should fancy. I
presume Warwick will not run. Puritan and St.
Michael are scarcely good enough at the weight,
7st 21b. lanthe and Le Juif, at 7st each, are anything
but badly in—the last named by far the best. Aaron
Smith, I believe, does not run. Lapidist, Jupiter, and
the Ithuriel filly, require no consideration. Ibis is not
overloaded with weight at 6st 61b, nor is Harp at Est 41b.
The Morning Star, Varmint, and Cripple Kate are very
indifferent ones. Harmony will not be of much use
here. The Carrier is let in uncommonly light, at sst 121 b,
and ought to run respectably. Cheroot, at 21b
less, has been treated tolerably well by the handi-
capper. Old Jim, Game Tommy, Ploughboy, The
Judge, Jacob, in fact, all the rest of. the light weights,
with the exception of Little Blossom, are scarcely
worthy of consideration. Upon looking over the
lot, Le Juif, Harp, Ibis, and Little Blossom, strike
me as being the most likely to produce the winner. The
Harp party seem so confident of winning, and with such
good tackle to test by, that to HARP I mustlook for the
winner ; placing Little Blossom and Le Juif in the
second and third places.
The next race on the card is the Newton' St. Leger,
of 10 sovs. each, with 50 added, mile and a half. This
stake has the rather potent name of Lambton in it ; also
England's Beauty, Maria Bell, and North Pole. Taking
all things into consideration, I incline to believe the
winner will be found in NICOTINE.
The Selling Stakes of 3 sovs. each, 20 added, for three-
year-olds, heats once round and a distance, has to close
and name this evening at seven o'clock.
This concludes the first day's sport.
The second day's racing I will consider to-morrow.

TATT'ERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.
THE SETTLING.

Notwithstanding the large number of preliminary
payments on Monday, it was " high change" at the
corner during the greater part of yesterday afternoon.
The usual arrangements were made for the convenience
and security of the regular and occasional subscribers,
and the anticipations which were expressed in our last
publication respecting the probability that the general
settlinr, would be smoothly conducted, were satisfacto it
realised. •
When it is considered that upwatitit 2
million of money was required to alt • ," 6 tat
were not recoverable at law,
,and that nearly a quarter
of that amount was due from one person alone, the only
wonder is that there should have been so punctual a pay-
ment, and to so enormous an extent ; in short, a better
settling has not been known for some years.
In the course of the afternoon a few bets were booked,
at the undermentioned prices :

ASCOT STAKES.
.5 to 2 agst Lady Evelyn (taken).
7to 1 agst King Pepin (8 to 1 also laid).
7to 1 agst Nervous (taken).

20 to 1 agst Dervish (taken and offered).

20 to 1 agst Wild Huntsman (taken).

BETTING AT MANCIIESTER.—TUESDAY.
Yesterday the settling upon the Epsom events com-
menced, and although it progressed but slowly, there
seemed no doubts about it being good, as many accounts
were left over until to-day, when they were promptly
discharged.
As may be easily conceived, when the " Derby " and
" 0 aks " is won by the first favourites, as has been the
case this year, the " Ring " must necessarily be great
losers ; and it is a source of satisfaction to hear no com-
plaints from the backers of West Australian and Cathe-
rine Hayes—wl-o are numerous, and amongst them
some heavy winners. Of course there was very little
time for betting upon future events ' yet, from what
came under our notice, we are enabled to give the fol-
lowing (although few) rather important quotations :

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.

-- - -
The opening match of this very popular club took place
yesterday. It had been looked forward to as an event
of interest in the yachting circles ; but owing the stormy
weather of the previous two or three days, and the very
cloudy appearance of the morning (yesterday), the at-
tendance of visitors on board the Meteor, which had
been chartered by the club for the occasion, although
highly respectable, was very thin.
The race was from Erith to Hole Haven and back
—one minute per ton being allowed—for a purse of

30 Boys..
The following took their stations :
1. Julia 8 tons...W. Bain ......••• Light blue.
2. Mischief 10 " ...J. R. Kirby Blue & white vertical

R &
•.. J. R. Bayley Bluc,with white ball.
J.C.Knight White, with blue

t. Alpha 10
6. Kitten lO " Harvey .......White, with blue
Cross

The wind was free both ways—what is known by the
phrase " a soldier's breeze."
The Kitten and Mischief were the favourites, either
being backed against the field at evens. They were
both new boats, and destined to be clippers, and so they
turned out. Mr. Goodson, the commodore, having seen
the boats at their moorings, the signal was fired at a
quarter to 12 for the start. It was very cleverly taken
by the whole of the sailing captains, to whom too much
praise cannot be given for their mode of swinging and
getting away. Immediately after the start, the Kitten
took the lead, and with a flowing sheet showed the way
down to Hole Haven and back. She was followed by
the Romp, Mischief, Alpha, Britannia,
anda Julia ; but
shortly afterwards th.? Romp gave place he Mischief.
Off Gravesend, the Kitten was full half a mile a-head,
and some very pretty seamenship was displayed amongst
the crews of the Mischief, Romp, and Alpha ; the first
named, however, held its place, and in this position they
got down to the distance post, at Hole Haven, as fol-
lows :
The Kitten 1 hour 32 min. 0 sec.
The Mischief 1 " 57 " 20 "
Romp 2 " 0 " 33 ,
The Alpha was about two minutes a-stern of the last-
named. The voyage up was even a trifle sooner than

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

With the exception of the Hogue, Blenheim, Sidon,
Magicienne, and Banshee, there is not a single ship at
Woolwich, Sheerness, Portsmouth, Devouport, and
Queenstown, that is fully manned ; and those ships that
have half or three-fourths of their full complements are
manned with a very low class of seamen or boys and
inexperienced landsmen. The only men-of-war nearer
the Baltic than Sheerness are the Arrogant, 46, screw-
frigate, at the Orkneys ; and the Otter, steam-vessel,
surveying at the Shetland Isles. There is scarcely a
man-of-war that could be sent to the North Sea fully
manned without taking the men from the ordinary flag-
ships or the coast guard, and leaving ports and coasts
defenceless. In fact, there is no force that could be col-
lected at the home ports that could prevent the Russian
fleet from quitting the Baltic, and, in the event of hos-
tilities, to ravage the whole of our northern coasts.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 31.
Letters from the West India squadron, which arrived
this morning, make no mention of the alleged mutiny
on board the Medea steam-sloop, which has of late been
going the round of the papers. We have a letter from
a gentleman on board, but not a word upon the above
report, which we therefore conclude to have been
ill-
founded. The Medea was at Havannah on the 16th
ult. ; all well. She arrived there on the 21st of March,
and, after landing Mr. Backhouse, the Judge of the
Mixed Commission Court, went to cruise near the old
Bahama Channel, whence she returned to Havannah on
the 16th ult., and would leave again for the same
cruising ground on that evening. The Cumberland, 70,
flag of Vice Admiral Sir George Seymour, K.C.8., was

he Vestal, 26, Captain Hamilton, was hourly expected
at Havannah from Bermuda ; the Devastation steam-
sloop, Connnander Campbell, has been cruising off Cuba
for a fortnight, and sailed on the 15th to join the Ad-
miral at Bermuda.

The Hogue, 60, screw two-decker, Captain Ramsay,
arrrived at Spithead this morning, and saluted. She
joined the Blenheim, 60, and awaits further orders.
The Sidon, 22, Captain Goldsmith, had her steam up
in the basin to-day after refitting her shaft ; the machi-
nery all worked well. She went out to Spithead this
afternoon, and is now ready for sea again.
The Simoom steam troop ship, Captain Kingcome (to
be relieved by Captain Smith), is refitting her rigging in
the steam dock, and having her bottom recoated with
composition.

The Vulcan, 6, steam troop frigate, Commander Von
Donop, embarked detachments of the Royal Artillery,
26th, 66th, and 76th regiments at the dockyard jetty
for Halifax this morning.
Blenheim, 58, screw, Captain H. H. Henderson,
C. 8., as we announced in our yesterday's journal, went
to Spithead last evening, saluting the flag of the com-
mander-in-chief, Sir Thomas John Cochrane, which was
duly acknowledged by the Victory.
The Sprightly, steam-tender, Master Commander
Allen, has received on board this afternoon, from the
dockyard jetty, four officers—viz., Captain Elwyn, and
Lieutenants Jones, Mackenzie, and Savage-18 non-
commissioned officers, and 120 men of the Royal Artil-
lery, and will convoy them to Alderney this evening,
bringing back a party of sappers and miners, who have
been engaged in building barracks and other accommo-
dation for the Royal Artillery.

PLYMOUTH, MAY 31.
The flag of Port-Admiral Sir John Ommanney was
struck on Suiiday evening on board the Impregnable, in
Ifamoaze. The Admiral is gone in the Sprightly steam-
tender to Portsmouth, on leave, and his duties devolve
on Commodore Superintendent M. Seymour.
Her Majesty's screw steam block-ship Hogue, 60, Cap-
tain Ramsey, steamed out of harbour yesterday, at 9.30
a.m., for Portsmouth, where she will be docked and have
her copper cleaned, all the docks here being engaged.
Captain Clavell, Lieutenants Hutchinson and Dudson,
4 sergeants, 4 corporals, 2 drummers, and 154 privates,
Royal Marines, embark to-day for service on board the
St. Jean d'Acro, 101, Captain Keppel.

PRIZE MONEY FOR THE SHARPSHOOTER.
Messrs. Chippendale have given notice to the officers
and company of her Majesty's steam-vessel Sharpshooter,
commander (then lieutenant) John Crawshay
who were actually on board, that they will be paid their
proportions for the under-mentioned prizes, on the 27th
June next, at No. 10, John-street, Adelphi, and all
shares not then claimed will be re-called every Monday
and Thursday for the next three months, pursuant to

NOVA SCOTIA MINING AND COPPER-SMELTING CON-
PANY.—Yesterday a meeting of the shareholders in this
company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street, to receive a report from the directors, and to de-
termine as to the best mode of winding up the concern.
Mr. R. D. Mangles, M.P., in the chair.—A report was
read from the directors, stating that they had taken the
precaution of retaining in their hands the shares to
be given to the vendors in purchase of the mines at India
Point and the De Burt, Acadian, and Folly Mountain Iron
Mines until the company should ascertain from the report
of inspectors sent out from this country that the mines were
of the character which had been described to them. The
result of the inquiry instituted by those inspectors was,
that the mines were utterly worthless, and the vendors
had immediately consented to waive any claim they
might be considered to have upon the company, whilst
the directors, acting under the advice of legal authority,
had determined upon winding-up the concern, and pay-
ing the preliminary expenses out of their own pockets—
the solicitors and bankers having voluntarily signified
their intention to abstain from making any claim what-
ever for their services. The report was adopted, and
the chairman stated that the whole of the deposits would
be returned to the shareholders within 21 days, or so
soon as the consent of three•fourths of the shareholders
should be given in favour of such a course of proceeding.
—Thanks were voted to the directors, the solicitor, and
bankers, and the meeting separated.

views, treated the St. _ such dis-
respect as has never been done before towards an
independent Sovereign, excepting in cases where
there was an intention to make war. A reculade
at the present moment would be the destruction of
the labour of years, for every one knows that with
the Orientals, any withdrawal, however justified
by circumstances, is equivalent to defeat. It is
this fact that alarms politicians, and makes them
doubt if the Czar will withdraw his pretensions,
even although he might risk a general war by per-
severing in them.

The -Russian Ambassador in Paris, while en-
deavouring to intimidate the public by threats that
the Emperor will not recede, even if he were forced
to take Constantinople in opposition to the navies
of England and France, is very active in his en-
deavours to impress Louis Napoleon and the mem-
bers of the Cabinet with the moderation of the
views of the Emperor Nicholas.
M. His de Butenval has received orders to claim
from Belgium a sum of 50 millions, as a reimburse-
ment of the cost of the expedition to Antwerp in
the early part of Louis Philippe's reign. This de-
mand may be considered as an answer to the
marriage of the Duke de Brabant with an Arch-
duchess of Austria.

It is in contemplation to establish at Lyons a
camp of observation, which will make the third in
France—the other two being at St. Omer and
Satory.

M.-Chreptowitz, Minister of Russia at Brussels,
left Paris yesterday to return to his post.
The members of the commission which had been
organised at Lyons, to present General Oudinot, in
the name of that city, with a sword of honour, in
remembrance of the expedition to Rome, arrived
yesterday in Paris. The sword, which is exceedingly
handsome, was to be presented to the general yes-
terday evening.
According to the Augsburg Gazette, a firman has
been sent both to the French and English admirals,
authorising the passacre.of the two fleets through
the straits of the Dardanelles.
The steamer Ajaccio is reported to have arrived
at Toulon from Constantinople.
The Moniteur declares that the Government will
not, as has been mentioned on 'Change, sanction
the amalgamation of the Orleans aid Lyons Rail-
way Companies.

'the Moniteur Algerein states that the expedition
under the command of the Governor-General in-
vaded the territory of the Diermonna on the 19th
of May. On that very day the village in the
vicinity of Oued-Berd surrendered to General
M'Mahon, and on the 21st that general occupied
Coed Ain Sitallont.

In answer to the communication made by the
French Governtnent,_Qf
its int4lntion,to have
• N efs-a---eiliibition of the nrounce Of industry at
Paris, in 1853,- the Governments of England, Bel-
gium, Sweden, Bavaria, Saxony, Baden, Hanover,
Nassau, Frankfort, and Berne have intimated their
readiness to give encouragement and assistance to
those of their countrymen who wish to contribute
to the exhibition.

A considerable decline occurred yesterday in the
public securities, combined with but little activity
in business, the Three per Cents. being again the
description of stock which underwent the greatest
depreciation, to the extent of if. in the quotation
for cash, and lf. sc. in that for the account. The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., both for the term and
for money, fell 80c. ; Bank of France Shares de-
clined sf. The final quotations were :—For cash :
Three per Cents., 78f. 30c. ; Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 101 f. 50c. For the end of the month :
Three per Cents., 78f. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
101 f. 50c. ; Bank Stock, 2,692 f. 50c. A decline of
5f.. occurred in the shares of the Mortgage Bank,
which closed at 830 f. ; in those of the Societe Mo-
biller° there was a fall of 30f., the last quotation
being 815 f. The Railway Share Market also parti-
cipated in the general depression experienced by
other descriptions of public securities, a decline of
32f. having taken place in Paris and Strasbourg
shares at the termination of business ; in Paris and
Orleans of 30f. ; in Paris and Rouen of 25f. ; in
Paris and Lyons of 20f. ; in Northern of 15f. ; and
of sf. in Lyons to the Mediterranean shares.
Final quotations :—Northerns, 880 f. ; Paris and
Orleans, 1,045 f. ; Paris and Strasbourg, 880 f. 50c. ;
Paris and Lyons, 915 f. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,075 f. ;
Lyons to the Mediterranean, 750 f.

TURKEY.
The telegraphic despatch, announcing that Prince
Menschikoff had arrived at Odessa on the 24th,
and that the greatest excitement existed in that
place, is the only information received from the
East, and there are some gaps in our previous in-
formation, which are not yet filled up, but which
are of great importance. No one, for instance,
seems to know the precise extent of the powers
with which Prince Menschikoff is invested. Has
the Emperor given him authority to march the
army in the neighbourhood of Odessa into the
Turkish territory ? If so, the chances are that our
next accounts will inform us of the actual invasion
of the Moldavian provinces. The general opinion
here, however, is that he has no such power, and
that, so far from placing himself at the head of an
invading army, lie will proceed direct to St.
Petersburg to announce the failure of his mission.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, May 28.—We have received no later
dates from Constantinople. All is still uncertainty
as regards the positive departure of Prince Mens-
chikoff from the Turkish capital. Telegraphic
despatches and other rumours are received with
more reserve. Our Bourse was consequently firm
upon the whole. To-morrow, or on Monday, we
shall probably know something positive as to the
answer given by the Porte to the Russian 'ulti-
matum.

The Swiss Charge d'Affaires has been recalled
from his post in Vienna.
The Presse pretends to know that Count Rech-
berg has already sent hither two ample reports
from Verona, which hold out the prospect of a
speedy settlement of the sequestration question.
Several of the more wealthy refugees, who possess
large estates in Lombardy, had already sent in
their acts of submission, and, in consideration of
these acts being voluntary, it is probable that an
exemption from the general sequestration will be
accorded to them. It is also said that M. de Revel
would most likely return to his post in Vienna by
the end of this month.

Our Stock Exchange was in great alarm this
morning. Five per Cent. Metalliques went down
to 94, Northern Railway Shares from 226 k to 221,
and Bank Shares to 1,408—a1l owing to the various
reports in circulation about the Turkish-Russian
differences, and the fact that Count Karnicki, the
Austrian Minister at Berne, had not left on leave
of absence, but had been positively recalled from
his post, and that thus the pending negotiations
with Switzerland had been entirely broken off.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, MAY 30.—Much anxiety is felt at this
place in regard to the Oriental ciuestion, although. every Lope is entertained that
an
which may have taken or may takey rupture
place in
diplomatic relations between the Sublime Porte
and the Czar, will not lead
to aggression
on the part of the latter. It has been stated by
divers journals that the Prussian Government has
expressed to those of Austria and Russia its com-
plete satisfaction at the proceedings and policy of
both in regard to Turkey. There cannot be a doubt
that this Government feels the most lively interest
`in the Welfare of all Christian Populations under

The returns of mortality do not yet indicate that im-
provement in the public health which may have been
anticipated from the more favourable character of the
weather. The following are the deaths registered in
London in each week of May--1,159, 1,099,1,098, and
(in the week that ended last Saturday) 1,128, showing a
small increase in the present on the two preceding re-
turns. The mean weekly temperatures of the month
have been 47.9 deg., 45.3 deg., 55.2 deg., and 591 deg.
In the ten weeks, corresponding to last week, of the 1842-52 the average number of deaths was 890,
which, if raised in proportion to increase of population,
will give a mortality for last week of 979. The actual
result is therefore in excess of the estimated amount by
149.

Diseases of the nervous system appear to have sup-
plied more than ordinary contingent ; for 155 cases are
found in this class, while the average is 120. Taking
some particular diseases, cephalitis was fatal in the
last three. weeks in 14, 11, and 16 eases succes-
sively ; apoplexy, 25, 23, 24 ; paralysis, 17, 23, 33 ;
delirium tremens, 3,2, 4; epilepsy 3,9, 13 ; convulsions,
40, 35, 43. Pneumonia shows a decided decrease, the
deaths from it having fallen to 57 ; hopping-cough also
is not quite so fatal, while diarrhoea slightly increases.
The last-mentioned complaint numbers in the last three
returns 18, 28, 32.
In the sub-district of the Woolwich Arsenal; at 52,
William-street, on 10th May, the daughter of a pen-
sioner, Royal Artillery, aged 8 years, died of " tabes
mesenterica from birth." Mr. Richardson, the medical
attendant of this case, writes on his certificate—" An
enormous number of children die in this town from
scrofulous disease, and from other maladies of a similar
character that appear to be preventible."
At the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, three
deaths were registered from typhus. With reference to
one which occurred on the 14th May, that of a female
servant, aged 36 years, brought from Baldwin's•gardens,
Saint Andrew's Parish, the surgeon of the hospital
makes the following statement :—" This woman lived at
16, Baldwin's-gardens, where her 'sister died of fever ;
her brother also died in the Fever Hospital ; her sister's
husband and daughter were attacked, but haverecovered,
and her husband is now ill ; consequently out of a
family of eight, six were • attacked by fever, three of
whom died ; two children alone escaped ; 1.8 people
were living in this house, which consists of eight rooms."
At 4, North-terrace, South-street, May-fair, on 23d
May, the son of a lodging-house keeper, aged 15 months,
died of " teething (6 months), hooping-cough (one
week), convulsions (12 hours)." Dr. Walsh, the Re-
gistrar, - says :—" Another child in this house has hoop..
ing-cough with typhoid fever.. A cesspool opposite the
door is much complained of. The court is narrow, but
well paved, clean, and respectably inhabited."
In the sub-district, Saint Leonard, Shoreditch, at 8,
Matthew-street, on 22d May, a watch-case maker, aged
34 years, died of " typhus (7 days)." Mr. Yarrow, the
Registrar, adds :—" The father of the deceased informs
me that he was one of 4 men employed. at the same
manufactory • all were taken ill with the same disorder,
and 3 aro dead. The other he supposed could not live.

At 13, Seven-step-alley,
.Aldg,ate, on 24th May, the
daughter of a shoemaker, aged one year, died of "pneu-
znonitis, asphyxia." The parish surgeon adds on his
certificate— " This is the fourth death from preventible
causes in this long-condemned locality within as many
weeks. Are these deaths a proof of the vigilance of the
City Commission of Sewers, when this place was pro-
nounced unfit for human habitation four years ago by
their own officer of health ?"
Two persons were registered in the week whose lives
had been protracted beyond the ordinary limit of
existence :
On the 25th May a chair-bottom maker died from
" old age" in the Greenwich Workhouse at the age of
100 years.

On the 21st May, at 1, Elder-street, Norton Folgate,
a man, formerly a clock-maker, but latterly out of busi-
ness, died from " old age, a fall a month ago ; exhaus-
tion," at the age of 106 years.
