EVENING SLUT.

will those who dissent be entitled to a share of what
he writings, surveys, papers, &c. will be sold for ?
• Mr. CHAPPELL—You could not play fast and loose at
that game. You will have the choice of joining any such
Company, or otherwise; so that if you do not receive the
advantagesAerivable from those surveys, &c., it will be
your own fault.—(Hear.). _ _

Mr. RA.WSON—i consider it a fair question. Suppose a
rty of this Company forms a new one—would the par-
ti4 s who are dissentient be entitled to any of the money
o? tained for the surveys, Rze. ?.
Mr. WHEELER-If the present Company obtained .re-
muneration for its plans, &c., from some new Company
about to be formed, that remuneration would belong
equally to all the Shareholders ; but, if a new Company
were to be formed out of the elements of this Company,
I do not think that those members refusing to join such
new Company would have any claim on it on account of
the plans. .

SHAREHOLDER—I suppose liberty will be given to
each Shareholder to enter any such Company, if he
choose ?

Mr. CHAPPELL—It will be competent for every Share-
holder to enter.

Mr. RAwsoN—l think any dissentient would have a
right to a sham of what the plans would sell for, if a
part of this Company take the matter up, as well as if
an independent body should' do so.
Mr. WHEELER—Supposing any Company whatever
pay for these plans, then all the Shareholders of the pre-
sent Company are entitled to a share.
Mr. RAwsoN—That answers my questior.
A SHAREHOLDER—IIRS any particular day been fixed
on for the payment of the money ?
The CHAIRMAN—Not at present.
Mr. CHAPPELL—A. day will be fixed upon as goon as
possible.
Mr. TOOTAL remarked, that, as some of his observa-
tions might mislead parties elsewhere, he thought it
right to state that nothing would induce him to take such
responsibility again in any railway undertaking.
The CHAIRMAN spoke in very flattering terms of the
devotedness of Mr. TOotal to the interests of the Com-
pany.

Thos. Ashton, Esq. was then called to the chair; and,
thanks having been given to Robt. Gardner, Esq. for 116
conduct while presiding, the meeting separated.

LONDON AND BIRAINGBAM
RAILWAY.

The Sixteenth Half-Yearly General Meeting of the
Court of Proprietors of this Railway was held yesterday.
pursuant to printed notice, at the Euston }tote!, Euston-
square, Sir Richard Carr Glyn, Bart. in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said, it was now the duty of the Di
rectors to lay before the Proprietors an account of the
proceedings of the last six months, and he thought the
consideration of that account would justify the anticipa-
tions formerly held out as to the satisfactory progress of
the undertaking. The account showed a considerable in-
crease of their earnings, and a decrease of their chlrges.
The I;irectors were enabled to announce a dividend of
4/. ss. for the last half-year.
RICIIIRD CREED, Esq., read the Report, from which
it apptared, that the receipts for the present half-year
ending June 30, amounted to 382,4521., or 39,2581. more
than in the corresponding half-rear of 1840 ; that the
cost of maintaining the road and working stock in an
efficient state was 112,936/., or 6,4901. less than in the cor-
responding half-year ; and, 'consequently, that whilst
there was an increase equal. to 11/. Bs. 6d. per
cent. on the receipts, there was a decrease on the
charges equal to 51. 18. s 6d. per cent. That the net
balance of the revenue for the two last half years (de-
ducting the dividend of 4 per cent., ordered on the 12th
February last) was 192,148/., beiug the sum applicable to
the dividend about to be declared. That arrangements
had been made between the London . and Birmingham
and the Birmingham and Gloucester Companies, which
it was expected would give additional facilities to the
traffic on the respective lines when- the Gloucester Rail-
way should be opened, which would be on the 17th inst.
That referring to the proceedings of the Harrow inquest
in November last, so much of the verdict as awarded a
deodand had been quashed. That Edmond Calvert, Esq.,
had resigned his seat in the Direction of the Company
since the last general meeting.
Mr. BOOTHRY, in answer to a question regarding► the
depreciation fund, said it had been presumed that about
5 per cent. on the value of the stock should be laid aside
as a depreciation fund ; it would soon be seen whether
that were too much, or not enough ; a very oorrect
valuation of the carriage stock, horse-boxes, and trucks
had been made ; and although 50,000/. had been laid
aside as the depreciation fund for those articles, the
actual amount of depreciation . upon them almitly
amounted to more than had been get aside for the pur-
pose ; he did not think that would be the case with re-
gard to the engines and other stock ; however, lie thought
the amount laid by would be sufficient to cover the de-
preciation.

Mr. JAMES HEYWORTII proposed that a dividend of
4!. los. should be paid, instead of 4!. 55., which he
thought might very judiciously be done, out of the net
earnings of the Company. Ile held in his picket no less
than 350 proxies, and the amount of shares he repre-
sented was immense; the owners of the proxies which
he held would all have voted, to a ma ti for the dividend
of 4!. ilk ; and he did not consider he should be acting
as a faithful steward if he did not press for that dividend.
Mr. OamElton and others followed in favour of the
greater dividend.
The Citinit AN (Messrs. llatlibone, -Hodson, Rams-
den, Moseley, and others) trusted Mr. Ileyworth would
withdraw his motion. It was not without much serious
deliberation that the Directors had come to the deter-
. mination of ()tiering the dividend they dih ; it was a
considerable increase upon the last, and they trusted
Shareholders would be satisfied. They were sure, if
6frentletnen, whose proxies Mr. Heyworth .held,• were
present and had heard the arguments, they would not
vote as he had intimated.

A great deal of discussion ensued, and Mr. Heyworth
at last consented to withdraw his motith%

It was then moved and seconad that " the Report bo
received and adopted ;" which was carried unanimuitsly,
amidst loud cheers.

Captain PORTER, R.N., stated for the information df
his brother Proprietors, that a 63(41001 had been opened
at Wolverton, entirely tinder the superintendence of the
Board of Directors, intended for the education of 100
boys and 100 girls, children of servants engaged on the
line. A Society had also been instituted for the reliev-
ing of those servants. who had met with accidents, Ste. ;
410 men had already been relieved by this Society, at
an expense of 700!., and only six deaths through acci-
dents or injuries, had occurred on the line since the open-
ing of the Society ; he wished to remind the • Proprietors
that Mr. Saville was the treasurer of this Society, and
that the smallest contributions from them would be most
thankfully received.
The CHAIRMAN spoke to the benefits accruing to the
Proprietors from this Society. Notwithstanding th e
great competition, and the great demand for good ser-
vants and workmen, and their actual scarcity, the Lon -
don and Birmingham Railway always managed to retain
good and efficient servants on its staff.
A vote of thanks was carried 11'nechuhation to the
Chairman and other Directors of the Company. The
former briefly acknowledged the honour, and the meeting
broke up.
The dividend will be available on the 23d inst.

NORTH UNIoN RAILWAY.-011 Fuesday last the pro-
prietors of this raitway met at the Railway Station,
Preston, to receive the Report of the Directors for vAk
last half year, and to elect three Directors in the roclTs

Esq., presided. The Report having been read, a discus-
sion took place as to whether a sutu,4 money should he,
laid aside for the purpose of repairing such portions Lit
railway stock us would necessarily', in time, wear out.
Mr. Garnett moved that 5,000/. be set apart for that pur-
pose. Mr. Ormerod seconded the motion, and it was lost
by a large majority. The Chairman stated: that the
claims upon the Company were very insignificant, not
amounting to more titan perhaps 2,000/. for the building
of some cottages upon the line, and other mutters of a
similar nature. Ilu further stated, that they had not ex-
hausted the loan already obtained, and -that they had
power in the Act to borrow a very large sum. in additimt
to what had already been so obtained. The Report W
then unanimously adopted , and, on the motion of J.

ZPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLOBE.—" No man in his senses can doubt," says
the Tim./ of this morning, "that if the Whigs had re-
signed in April without introducing their budget, and
Sir Rober;; Peel had then succeeded to power, the pro-
bability of a satisfactory adjustment of the corn question,
and of all other commercial questions, would have
been much greater than it is at present." No
doubt about it ! And "no man in his senses can
doubt" that, if the Report of the Import Duties Com-
mittee had never been published, the probability of
" satisfactory adjustment " would have been still
stronger. And "no man in his senses can doubt," had
the recent harvest weather been better, that the Times
would have been still more eager to suggest Corn-law
reform through its " correspondents ;" and the prospect
of a " satisfactory adjustment" would have been still more
immediate. But what adjustment would be satisfactory ?
That is the question : and it is a question for which the
slippery scale party have no answer. The Times'
" correspondents," indeed, have answered it by saying—
Exactly such an adjustment as the present Government
have proposed—that is to say, the adoption of a moderate
fixed duty. kat, the Times dares not now say so
except in thegilise of an alter ego. It whines
auout its consistency ; but it dares not showit in its lead-
ing articles. ghat is quite a sufficient proof that the
" great national party'' of the Times are wavering be-
tween a fair and foul-weather budget. And we are bid
to believe that their waver:ngs would have been much
more likely to result in something " satisfactory," if
the rreient Government had not stirred the question!
Now, we are quite confident that, whatever motives
have been attributed to the leaders of our party for
having identified their cause with these questions, of
this, at least, there cannot be the smallest doubt—that
they have given an impulse which no other course could
have given to commercial emancipation ; and rendertri
its triumph not only probable (whether or not satisfac-
tory to the Tinie.4); but certain. The " pressure from
without" for release from the fetters of landed oligarchy
would have been vague' and discouraged indeed, had not
the leaders of this great party (from whatever motives,
which candour or calumny may read as they please)
placed themselves at its head, in accordance with their
best previous proceedings and principles. If Ministers
had resigned iu April, making no sign of fiscal reform,
how plausibly, and indeed legitimately, Sir Robert Peel
might have quoted the precedent for abstaining from dis-
turbance of our great agricultural and colonial interests!
It would, indeed, have been impossible for him to propose
anything unplessing to those interests, after even a
Liberal Government should tacitly have declined doing so.
COURIER.—WeII and painfully are the Ministerial-
ists aware that from whatever other source embarrass-
ments may arise to a Conservative Administration (and
no Administration can, in these troublous times, hope
to be free of such), none need be anticipated from the
feeble and distracted Opposition they will be able to
muster. As an able Radical Contemporary lately ob-
served, it is not from the wreck of an indifferent
Ministry that a vigorous or formidable Opposition
could be constructed. The materials have been too
sadly damaged in their old position to be good for
any, thing in the new. The ablest artist would fail
to forge out of iin;,,infusion of worn-out Whigs and
red-hot Radicals` anftqng in the shape of a compact
or potent Opposition. There is an incongruity in
the elements, and a dissimilarity in the objects,
that were the Members of the Commons likely to be
opposed to Sir Robert Peel's Government, far more
numerically powerful than they are, would prevent them
from acting with effect. Can it be supposed that the
old Whigs, those who pride themselves on their re-
spect for constitutional principles, who retain some no-
tions bf honour, and some regard for public credit, will
fraternize with the Roebucks, the Cobdens, and the
O'Connells? The notion were preposterously absurd.
Indeed the latter has already renounced his connection
with the Whigs. Lord John Russell's manifesto was
too milk and watery for his taste, and the Loyal Repeal
Association has consequently pledged itself against
uniting with any party who will not own the ballot as an
article of their creed, and against any Government that
will not make
_the dismemberment scheme a Cabinet
question. The proposer of this pledge was cunning
enough to perceive—so utterly hopeless was the pro-
spect of their return to office—that it could by no means
embarrass the Whigs ; and he was also mean enough to
take advantage of their weakness and to repudiate their

STANDARD. importunate curiosity with
which the measures to be pursued by a Conservative
Cabinet :are daily demanded is instructive as well as
amusing. We may be very well assured that the inquiry
thus eagerly prosecuted by men who avow their satisfac-
tion at the calamities they have inflicted is not sug-
gested by any particular anxiety for the public good.
The motive in the case is plain enough—the measures of
the future Ministry are sought after, that the,y may be,
in the first instance, reviled, and in the end, if possible,
obstructed. The war of a factious opposition is already
commenced, though they who commence it are still in
ollice—a strange and a disgraceful anomaly, if anythinc,
disgraceful could be called anomalous in Whig-Radical
practice,. The prudence and foresight of Sir Robert
and his friends—prudence and foresight which the coun-
try fully appreciates—have baffled the cunning that
would continue a specific opposition to the measures of a
Ministry still Unformed ! and all that the Whig-Radi-
cals have gained by their ingenuity is the development
of their own unpatriotic and scandalous scheme of po-
licy. The measures of the new Ministry are, it is made
plain, to be attacked, whatever those ineasures may
u n:
be ; and if they do net present a tficient nu-
kr of goints to be 'assailed, we learn thats the old
ma-
gazine of revolutionary projects is to be freely drawn
upon. We have lately seen "a promising controversy
among the different-sections of Liberals, as to the num-
ber of " organic change," that it may be politic to propose
from time to time, " organic changes meaning
nothing more and nothing less than instalments of a
complete revolution, That the wildest of the "organic
changes"- suggested hitherto by fools and madmen
..he andtraiturs,. will find advocates and patrons among r
Ma-
jesty's present advisers no rational man can doubt. We
have no occasion to imitate the pressing interrogato-
ries of the Ministerial Journals, as to the measures
which the new Opposition will rake up for use. We
know them all ; they are the measures which these
same Whig-Radicals have most violently opposed ; and
we can almost certainly pronounce the order of their
re-appearance, by recollecting according to scale the
vehemence with which they have been condemned by ,
the men who are to revive them.
T

'he Address lin the, House of Lords, in reply
to her Majesty's Speech on the opening of the new Par-
liament, will, we understand, be moved by Earl Spencer
and be seconded by the Marquis of Clanricarde.
The re-appearance of Lord Spencer on the public
stage, at such a time, and on an occasion to which the
nation looks with deep 'anxiety and almost enexampled
interest at the present crisis of its affairs, will' be hailed
witlyveasure by all who remember the great ability and
• stein integrity by which, as Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, amtlealer of the House of Commons, his Lordship's
whole a arse of public duty was distinguished, and recog-
nised as so distinguished by all parties in the country.

HOW TO GAL'S A VOTE, AND USE IT WITH-

OUT INTIMIDATION.
Every Reformer 'a ho is excluded from the list of
voters, and does not possess the necessary qualifications
to get his name on the register, may as effectually contri-
bute to the return of a Reform Candidate as if he tad a
vote for himself, and that vote was protected from inti-
midation by the ballot, if he will examine the list of
voters, which may be seen at the house of any overseer
this day, and make a note of the name and address of
any Tory that appears on the resister and is not in
every way qualified. He should immediately forward
the information, with ground of objection, to some active
Reformer or Registration Committee, who will object to
him ; and if he is unable to prove himself qualified, will
be excluded from the register, the onus of proof lying
entirely with the person objecbsd to.
Thus the Tory vote struck off will be one gained to
the cause of Reform, and given as secretly, if not more
so. than a vote given by the informant under the protec-
tion of the ballot!
Surely the thousands in the metropolis excluded from
the franchise, and those who have been compelled to
sacrifice their consciences, and submit to the most shame-
ful as well as shameless intimidation, will avenge them-
selves upon their intimidators, and thus regain the vote
their private interest compelled them to give against
their own honest conviction.
