TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

GENTLEMEN.
Thave accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern
Hundreds. The decision of the House of Lords has left me no
!alternative.
The contest is now between the Ilouse of Lords and yourselves.
They attempt to retain the last remnant of religious intolerance ;
&•ou desire to remove it. You alone can decide whether you will
Continue this honourable struggle, or give up your own declared
Wishes and the cause of freedom together.
I had hoped that the gradual and steady progress of opinion in
favour of civil and religious liberty would, on this occasion, have in-
fluenced th, it Lordships ; that the example ofe th
fore eminent
instates-
men of all parties would have been a guid themt
deliberations; and that as the leaden; of these parties had within the
last few years concurred in endeavouring to remove from us every
badge of degradation, the House of Peers would have been induced
to listen to the suggestions of a more liberal policy, and to defer, in
this last instance, to the wislres-of the great constituency of London,
as well as to the opinion of the assembled representatives of Eng-
land, who have, by constantly increasing majorities, significantly
declared their deliberate conviction upon this great question. My
hope has been disappointed, and I am now compelled most reluct-
antly to retmn you the honourable trust you confided to my care
Considering your cause and mine as one, and judging of your
hesitate
lent feelings feelings by your past kindness and generosity, I do not
again to solicit your suffrages in the corning ele2tion : because in my
person a principle is to be vindicated, and because I beliee that you
are prepared to maintain the great constitutional struggle that is be-
fore you with the same vigour and earnestness Unit you have here •
tofore evinced. Truth will win its way unoler your auspices. Your
!Strong convictions will exercise their proper influence upon the de-
termie ations of the Legislature, and justice will be done according to
the forms, turd in the true spirit, of the Englisservh
an t COnstitution.
I am, Gentlemen, your faithful ,

RAIL WAY INTELLIGEN CE.
THE NORFOLK RAILWAY.
A special meeting of this company was held on Thursday
at the office, Guildhall•buildings, to consider the draft
of a Bill for authorising the amalgamation of the Nor-
folk with the Eastern Counties Company; Mr. Adam
Duff in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated that tha meeting was called in
compliance with Lord Wharncliffe's standing. order,
which required that their sanction should given to
the Bill prior to being read the second time in the House
of Lords. It was unnecessary for him to go over matters
which had been alredy discussed, and therefore he would
at once move that this meeting do approve of the Bill,
subject to such alterations as may be introduced by
Parliament.
Mr. S. M. PETo, M.P., seconded the resolution, and
in doing so went into several details connected with the
history and objects of the propose I amalgamation. By
the agreement with the Eastern Counties Company the
capital of the Norfolk was limited to 2,300,0001. On
the 2d of May, 1848, th common seal of the Eastern
Counties Company was affixed to the deeds, and,
M. 01- the ath—GE., • ,Gap/We* entered

into posVe-ssfon of - ihet:NoFfolk -"tag: ,
works and stock belonging to the Norfolk Company.
The agreement had beer twice ratified by the Eastern
Countiet Company, and it was the opinion of counsel
that the latter were legally bound to carry out
the agreement with the Norfolk Company. He than
proceded to show that the Norfolk Company bad
faithfully performed their part of the agreement by
keeping within the specified capital of 2,300,0001.
Everything had been most carefully estimated with regard
to the Norfolk Company; 20,000/. would be realised by
the sale of lands, and 30,000/. by the sale of stores,
making 50,0001. The total cost of the line and
works, including the Lowestoft Harbour, was ascer-
tained to be 2,233,7481, being nearly 70,000 E under
the limited amount, and leaving besides a margin of
50,000/. He then adverted to the recommendation
of the Eastern Counties Committee of Inquiry to
the shareholders of that company, to complete the
amalgamation with the Norfolk, and alluded to a letter
the board had received a few days ago from the directors
of the Eastern Counties Company respecting the traffic
on the Norfolk line, stating that the earnings for the
year only amounted to 119,8651., or an average of 2,177!.
per week, which, after deducting working expenses and
interest on the entire capital, including the unproductive
portion of it expended on the Dereham and Fekenharn
line not yet open, left a balance of 3,000/. This account
differed considerably from another account of the Nor-
folk traffic given by the Eastern Counties' directors, in
which it was stated that the net earnings were 5s Bd.
per share taken one way, and 6s. 21 per share taken
another way: He had taken considerable pains to as-
certain the working expenses of their line, and for
that purpose consulted some of the most eminent loco-
motive engineers and responsble contractors, who were
ready to undertake the working of the Norfolk line,
including in their estimate amp].) provision for the
depreciation of stock and permanent way, at such a rate
as would give to the Norfolk proprietors on the amount
stated by the Eastern Counties Company as the re-
ceipts for the year a dividend of Bs. 61. per share, or
two and a half per cent.-4s. 3d. for each half-year.
He objected to the mode adopted by the Eastern Coun-
ties Company in fixing the working expenses of the
Norfolk line, upon which there were fewer trains than
on the Eastern Counties line, and they were charged
with the average mileage of the whole. He believed it was
the interest of the Eastern Counties Company to carry
out the amalgamation, and the best thing for the Norfolk
Company that they should repudiate the bargain.—
(Hear, hear.) If any party had a right to complain, he
thought it was the proprietors of the Norfolk Company.
There had been no breach of faith on their part; they
had made a bargain, and they were willing to carry it
out fairly and honestly. He than endeavoured to
show that a certain amount of traffic was brought on
the Eastern Counties from the Norfolk line, which
would not cooae on the former if the Norfolk
line was worked independently by the Norfolk
Company or by any other cosirpany. He was of opinion
that if the affairs of the :teem Counties Company
were conducted on com rola. principles, with their
inconbe of SCO,OOO/. a yea there would be a probability
of their having fair divide Cis ; and it would be the in-
fty
44.144 of 019.13.r.opriet2rs; - . three' or foil; g9tiernc_n
of business habits ade , • :iibideoting arelytinie nail
attention to the affairs of 'I, o company. Ample accounts
should also be furnished t r the proprietors, so that they
might clearly see the poaition of their affairs. With
regard to closing the capito e?ccount, he did not think
they could do that, becausle.4ficreased accommodation
would be required from time to tine; but he thought
the directors should not undertake the construction of
any additional works unless sanctioned in every case by
the shareholders.
Major COURT said, that he had opposed the amalga
mation because he did not understand it, and the result
proved that the Norfolk
Company bad made an im-
prudent bargain. He doubted whether the shareholders
were bound, in point of honour, to carry out the agree-
ment, because they were not fully. informed at the
time it was entered into of every circumstance con-
meted with the subject. The agreement rested on
a fallacy, and he did not think
it should be urged
in point of honour, or in" point of expediency. He
complained of the want of clearness in the accounts of
the Norfolk Company, and concluded by moving as an
amendment, " That a committee be appointed to investi-
gate the accounts of the company, and that the meet-
ing be adjourned to the 15th of July." •
Mr. LAWRENCE trusted that they would not lose
sight of the question before them. Both companies
were bound iu honour and law to carry out the agree-
ment.
Mr. OLD thought they had better wait and see what
the Eastern Counties Company intended to do.
Mr. PETO said, that the Bill was prosecuted under
the sanction of the Eastern Counties Company, and he
thought the proprietors ought to approve of the Bill.
The plant of the company
had recently been valued at
187,000/. He was only a recent member of the board,
and he and his family held 100,0001. of stock in the com-
pany. He could state that the directors had not acted iu
this matter alone; they had consulted the principal
proprietors in the company, and received their sanction
to the measure.
Mr. BAXENDALE thought that a great deal of injury
that there was a
had been inflicted ou railway property by members of
boards acting on thesupposition
great distinction between their public and private
acts, and he thought that if gentlemen had in every
case looked to their public acts as private indivi-
duals, they would not have committed so many serious
mistakes. He hoped they would be enabled to amal-
gamate the whole of the interests of the district. lie
entirely concurred with Mr. Peto as to working the line
by contract. It was the only system by which they could
work with economy. Ile had had forty years' experience
in conducting a very large establishment, and he was
convinced that the only mode of working a railway with
economy was to contract for the working. Next to that
was a clear and satisfactory statement of the traffic,
showing the gain or loss on every branch of it periodi
tally. He aas not surprised at tee dividends falling ofl
from 10 to 7 per cent. and from 6 to 4 per cent.; for he
was convinced that no individual dare carry on his busi-
ness in the came way railway companit s did. They coin
plained of the traffic falling off, but he contended that the
traffic was very good. lie condemned the reckless way in
which the traffic was conducted on the Eastern Counties
line. There was every hope for the line if a small body
of din c.ors could be induced to devote the whole of
the it time and attention to the management of the un-
dertaking.
After some further observations a resolution was
passed approving of the Bitl. The meeting then sepa-
rated. `

• Were it not for the attractive metal of her Majesty's
hundred, presented in the good old-fashioned shape of

have been a dies non as regards racing on the plains of
Kildare, only one other evetit, being on the cards, which
was, however, remarkably well contested. The special
train, which loft the King's bridge terminus,. was
crowded ; the attendance, notwithstanding, was 'very
limited compared with former meetings. The day's
sport concluded about half•past, three o'clock, and the
special train reached Dublin a few minutes after five.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.
INTERESTING MATCH.
The great contest for the Grand Challenge Cup, pre-
sented by the Royal Thames Yacht Club, and open to
ull Royal Yacht clubs in the kingdom, took place yes-
terday, and was one of the most exciting races on re-
cord, affording a succession of incidents of the most in-
teresting description. The Jupiter steamer had been,
as usual, chartered by the club for the conveyance of the
members and their friends, and left her moorings at
London-bridge at ten o'clock, with a highly-respectable
party on board, which was increased in numbers on
their calling in at Blackwall. The Waterman 10,
Dryad, and another steamer, with a private party on
board, and a number of gentlemen's yachts, including
the Pearl, with her gallant owner the Marquis of Angle-
sea on board, accompanied the race. On the arrival of
the Jupiter at Erith the following were found ready for
the starting sign:—
Station. Name of Yacht. Tons. Port.
1.
2. Foam 20 Loudon.
3. Bianca 3g Portsmouth.
4. Cynthia 5O London.
5. Musquito 5O London.
6. Daring 3l Plymouth.
7. Secret
8. Gipsy 12 Plymouth.
The distance to be sailed was from Erith to the Noro
Light and back, weather permitting, and half a minute
per ton allowed at arriving by the larger to the smaller
craft.
The mishaps of the day, however, had already com-
menced, and with one of the greatest and most deserving
favourites—the Musquito. This beautiful yacht, an-
chored at Blackwall at nine A.M., was about to get under
weigh to run down to Erith, when a Trinity House
lighter, coming up the river, ran foul of the Musquito,
and snapped her bowsprit in the centre. This accident,
however, served only to bring out the natural charac»
teristics of our countrymen, especially those engaged in
nautical business, for Mr. Green, having, with his aeons-
tensed liberality, not only furnished the owners with a
new spar, but also the assistance of his mast-makers, in
fifty minutes the spar was manufactured into a new bow-
sprit, and being taken into tow by the Vesper, the
Gravesend steamer, she arrived at Erith at the same time
as the Commodore's steamer reached that place.
The start was well effected at 11 h. 43 min. 45 secs.,
when the Cygnet made sail beautifully, closely followed
by the Cynthia, Foam, Bianca, and Musquito; but here
again something was evidently wrong with the Musquito,
for she was all behind, and seemed hampered in her
movements, and it was only subsequently we observed
the cause. It appears the Commodore, on his arrival at
Erith, immediately fired the preparatory gun, on which
four of the Musquito 's crew, who were at Erith, came
on board, when the owner of the Cynthia threatened a
protest unless they went out of the vessal. As the rules
for sailing had only been put on board on her arrival at
Erith, and there was no time before the signal gun
for starting was fired to appeal to the Commodore, the
four men were sent on shore; consequently, the Mus-
quito had to sail with eight hands in lieu of twelve; she
uld nt, therefore, witb this small number, get her sails
properly set without great loss of time. She nevertheless
deternained to proceed.
There was a fine topsail breeze from the S.E., an the
little fleet went away in the most excellent trim, each
captain exhibiting considerable nautical skill. After
making a board in Erith Reach, they sailed the reach
down with a few yards' span only between each, forming
the most beautiful picture that could well be iumbled.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon an in-
quest was held at the Red Linn public-house, Lower
Fore•street, Lambeth, before Mr. W. Carter, the co-
roner, on the body of William Butler, aged 63, who had
died of cholera, but whose family imputed some blame
to Cope, one of the relieving officers, in not attending
properly to his wants. The verdict, after a deliberation
of about half an hour, returned a verdict that the de-
ceased had died from cholera, and therefore from natural
causes. They added, that they could not impute any
blame to the parish officers, for, from the evidence before
them, it appeared that the deceased had been afforded
relief every time he applied for it.
Dispatches were sent off, yesterday evening, from the
Colonial-office, for the Governor's of the rorth American
colonies.

[PRICE SD.

At Greenhithe the Cygnet led by a quarter of a mile,
the Cynthia second, the Foam thtrd, the Mosquito
fourth, then the Daring and Secret, the Bianca and Gipsy
literally tailed off.
.In St. Clement's the Musquito
ran into third 'place to leeward of the Foam, which
shortly after carried away her jib haulyards, and off
Gravesend carried away her gaff topsail, and set a small
headed one she had had before, as well as availing her-
self of the balloon jib haulyards to repair the first acci-
dent. As the wind ecntinued to freshen towards flood
the Musquito gradually gained upon her opponents, and
at the Bligh beacon the Cygnet led by about three
lengths, Cynthia second, and the Mosquito about a fur-
long only astern of her. Sc me beautiful sailing here
followed between the two first, The Cynthia went up to
the Cygnet and tried to pass her to leeward, but was un-
able to do so, and after keeping her company for a short
distance dropped a trifle astern, which was two or three
times repeated, until just below the Chapinan'a Head
buoy, when:the Cynthia fairly slipped into the second
place, followed in a few minu'es afterwards by the bias-
quito, who began to give strong symptoms of overhaul-
ing the leading boat. Lord Alfred Paeet (the commo-
dore), on the arrived of the Jupiter off Southend Pier,
brought her to, havine, previously fired a gun from
either bow to apprise the yaehtmen that the distance had
been shortened, and that they were to round the steamer,
which they did in the following order :
Hours. Mina. Secs.
Mosquito . 2
Cynthia
Cygnet
Daring
Secret 2
Foam

The Mmquito put down her helm and came over to
round, but seemed to be doubtful by the sweep she made
whether the steamer was at anchor, or whether they
had been guilty of inattention to their interests. How-
ever, in this respect it is difficult to say, but she went so
wide of the mark that the Cynthia slipped in between
the Mu•qiiito and the steamer, which was dead at anchor,
and they rounded abreast in the same instant, but imme-
diately afterwards the topmast of the Mosquito was car-
ried away by the bowsprit of the Cynthia striking, as it
byratugariclalletkelit, the Mos-
quito' topmaiertijrauttltierrukt althoir4ol4MAPP
touted is certain, and the Cynthia hitd sustained some
trifling injury also. Which party ought to have givi-n
way caused not a little contention amongst those assem-
bled, and which ought to have ported her helm caused
much diversity of opinion; some, held that the Cynthia
had clearly a right to go where she did, and that the
other should have given way, as from the nature of the
Cynthia's position the collision was unavoidable, unlebs
the Mosquito ported her helm to give her room; while
others maintained that the Mosquito had jibbed first,
and that the Cynthia ought to have gone outside of her.
The Mosquito rigged a jury mast and hoisted the protest
signal immediately after the collision. The Cynthia
maintained her lead, and they. arrived .in the following
order and time, the Cygnet being, with her allowance of
seven minutes and a half, the winner:—
Hours. Mins. Secs. ,
Cynthia
Mu quito
Cygnet
Daring ...
Secret 5 ' 37 ..... 10
Foam ....... 5

Lord Allred Paget presented the cup to the represen-
tative of the owner of the Cygnet, and the 'usual
honours Were gone through, including the". Health of
her Majesty," Jcc. The owner of the Foain also re-
ceived her prize for the last match, which had been left
in abeyance, the sailing committee having decided in
her favour. The band of the 2d Life Guards were in
attendance, and played the most popular sirs, and the
company were landed at an early hour, much gratified
with the day's sport.
