THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL

WAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this
railway was held this afternoon, at the Hall of Commerce.
We sent a reporter to the meeting, who, although well
known as the railway reporter of our paper, was refused ad-
mission, on the ground that he did not produce a card signed
by the secretary. What may be the object of the directors
in pursuing this unusual course it is impossible to guess.
The effect is that the proceedings of the meeting are un-
reported.

NASH'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT.—iur. Charles
Nash, formerly connected with the Great Western, is in no
way connected with this work which is by a Mr. R. Lucas
Nash.
• Cuatous DISCOVERY.—Last week, in one of the
shafts of the tunnel id Craigend, the workmen came upon a
considerable block of rock salt. Whether there is likely to
be a vein of that article we have not yet learned, but some
hundred weights have been excavated. We saw a specimen
which is very pure, and tastes like nitre.—Perthshire Courier.
AFFAIR or HONOUR.—We regret to announce that
an altercation took place on Sunday last in Ballinrobe be-
tween two highly-respectable magistrates of the county, old
and intimate friends
and near relatives, which led to an
assault. The parties were immediately arrested under the
warrant of Charles Arabin, EN., R.M., by that very active
and efficient officer, Captain Bindon, S. I. of constabulary.—
