MADRAS RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the shareholders in this com-
pany was held yesterday at the Company's office, 2, Win-
chester-buildings, Great Winchester-street, City, for the pur-
pose of receiving a report from the directors; J. A Arbuth-
not, Esq., President of the Board of Directors, in the chair.
After the usual preliminaries,
The SICKETAKY read the report, which stated that the
present meeting was held in conformity with a resolution
passed at the third half•yearly meeting, held on the 18th of
February last, and which decided that a meeting should be
convened for the purpose of considering the advisability of
prock:eding with the operations of the csmpany. It appeared
that the negotiation which was stated at the last meeting to
be pending between the Government of East India and cer-
. •

tain companies, who had undertaken to construct railways to
connect Calcutta with the north-western frontier of the
Bengal territories, had not been successful, the terms upon
which the concession of the Bengal lines would be granted
being too disadvantageous to be accepted ; and a letter,
which had been since addressed by the chairman cf the corn-
pany to the secretary of the court of directors of the East
India Company, requesting the decision of the Court, not
having been noticed. The report then proceeded to state
that the indifference with which this and the preceding nu-
merous communications of the company by the East India
Company were treated was not, in the opalion of the directors,
to be ascribed so much to a want of courtesy on the part
of the authorities at the East India House, as to their
peculiar views of railroads in India. Although no official
intimation of the views of the East India Company
was made, it was understood that they thought
most favourably of the railway from Madras to
Arcot, and that they were willing to encourage it by a grant
of land and other facilities; but yet, that they were of opi•
nion that aid from them in the way of money, or by a gua-
ranteed dividend, should be confined to one experimental
line, and that that line should be in the Bengal Presidency,
c,n account of the great political advantages it would afford
in facilitating the transit of troops and military stores.
Acting upon this view, the E:st India Company had offered
terms for the construction of a line or lines to connect Cal-
cutta with Delhi, a distance of about nine hundred miles, and
the estimated cost of which, at 17,0001. per mile, would be
15.295,000/. The directors of the Madras Railway Company
thought that such a course would retard the introduction of
railways into India by encouraging a line which, although
posse-sing some superior political advantages, yet was far in-
ferior, in commercial advantages, to other lines that might
be adopted, and was, moreover, too extensive and costly to
be experimental. In consequence of these circumstances
the directors recommended the dissolution of the company.
The report concluded by stating that the number of shares
o* which, the deposit of 2s. per share was paid was 17,405.
'Of these, 8,465 raid the call of 18s.; the hollers of the re-
maining 8,940 shares were, as the directors understood,
strictly liable for their proportion of the preliminary ex-
penses which had been incurred; but the board did not
think it right to recommend the company to adopt legal
proceedings for the recovery of these liabilities, and that
those who had paid the call of 18s. should receive the sums
respectively due to them.
The 01.11101 AX said, that in moving the adoption of the
report they had just heard, he begged to say that he felt sorry
that the directors should have felt bound to make the recom-
mendation contained in the report. The altered state of the
money market must undoubtedly be considered to be the
primary cause of the failure of, the project. That cause,
however, w-uld not have been altogether fatal, if they
had received any assistance from the East India Company.
But not only had they not received encouragement from that
body, but their project had been seriously affected by the
want of any notice of their communications. He did not
mean to attribute that to any discourtesy on the part of the
directors of the East India Company, but to the effect of
that system which prevailed in Leadenhall-street. But of
this he was sure, that a very great blunder bad been com-
mitted by them in trusting their project in the way that had
been done, and it would be felt more by the natives of India
than by the promoters of the present company. He had
been connected for a long time with India, and, in common
with the rest of the directors, regretted the failure of their
undertaking. He did not know that it was necessary for
him to make any further observations, and he would con-
clude by moving the adoption of the report.
Colonel Svms expressed his dissatisfaction at the conduct
of the East India Company, and proposed a resolution to the
effect that the company should be suspended and not dis-
solved, which, after a short discussion, was withdrawn.
The motion was then earned.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed that a sum of 2001., together
with the furniture of the offices, should be given as a re-
muneration to the secretary for his valuable services.
Colonel CADOGAN seconded the resolution, which, after
some slight discussion, was agreed to.
Thanks were then given to the chairman and the other
directors, and acknowledged by the former; after which the
meeting separated.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

am informed that arrangements are on the
way to lease or purchase the North Western Railway,
by some parties unknown to the body of the share•

trickery, in order that the shareholders may not be duped.
Why not call a meeting in a proper business way, and
then the proprietors are aware what is going ou with
their property? Those parties are buying up all the
shares at a very low price, and the holders of shares are
duped out of half of the money paid up, By inserting

EAST SURREY.—Mr. Kemble retires from the re-
presentation, but Mr. Anttobus will again come forward.
Mr. Alc ;ck will, we are informed, supply Mr. Kemble's
place without opposition, and the county will thus be spared
the trouble, and the candidates the expense, of a contest
which would probably have only the same result that is
attained by this easy compromise.
Airs. Trollope's " Three Cousins" will certainly
add to her reputation as a novelist. This equal, if not supe-
rior to the best of her productions, in those peculiar qualities
which have won for her the celebrity which she enjoys. Her
own sex she seems to have studied with profound attention,
and no living writer so keenly satirises the heartless woman
of the world, or so admirably exposes all the elaborate de-
vices by which artificial manners are made to represent natu-
ral impulses. Mrs. Cobhurst, for instance, is drawn with ad-
mirable fidelity. Who has not met with scores of such girlish
widows, where the joyous hilarity of sixteen is pressed into
the service of thirty-four, in order to cover the matronly in-
trigues of the latter period of life? We can hardly persuade
ourselves that the Bishop of Solway and his wife are not
studies from nature.—John
ASCOT RACES.—The female complexion has, per-
haps, no fiercer foe than the summer, with its concomitants
of heat and dust. On the drive, the ride, the promenade, or
the aquatic excursion, ladies should ever be provided with
"Rowland's Kalydor," which will be found gratefully refresh-
ing to the complexion, dispelling the cloud of langour and
relaxation, allaying all irritability and heat, and immediately
affording the plea-ing sensation attendant on restored elas-
ticity and healthful state of the skir. As a protector and
preserver of the hair, Rowland's Macassor Oil will be found
alike efficacious, guarding it from the injurious operation of
the sun and dust. It is necessary to see that the word
" Rowland's " precedes the name of the article on the
wrapper of each, as spurious imitations of the most dele-
terious character are abroad.
EXETER HALL —Handers Alexander's Feast and
Mendelssohn's Wa purgis Night were:performed here on Mon-
day evening by the members of Mr. Hullah's upper schools,
consisting of a force of 500 voices, besides the principals;
supportea by Mr. Willy's concert band, strengthened largely
for the occasion. The execution of those two fine works was,
upon the whole, extremely creditable, the obedience of the
troops to the governing baton of Hullah, who conducted,
being prompt and accurate—demonstrating the efficiency of
the system under which such satisfactory results are elicited.
The choruses in the Walpurgis Night are far from being
light and trivial duties, even with professionals, their chro-
matic texture and structural intricacy demanding the best
experiences in the art of part singing • but these upper
schools" faced them boldlyx
and brought out all their pic-
turesque points with felicitous crispness and Alto-
gether, the choral portion of the programme was executed
with remarkable skill, a foretaste of which, however, was
given in the recent historical concerts, and tempted the public
to expect the excellence it now met with. The s.o.ips, an
solos were
.d
at-signed to Mr. blanvers. Miss Birch, Mr. H. Phillips,
Zliss Duval—all of whom acquitted themselves with their
customary ability. The hall was crowded.

THE PROVIDENT k..l,EltKj_i' MU-
TUAL BENEFI AS6OCIATION AND BENE
VOLENT FUND.
A special general meeting of the donor!, subscribers,
and members to the benevolent fund of this excellent in-
stitution, was held at twelve o'clock on Monday, May 31,
at the London Tavt rn, for the purpose of tts
additional annuitants. Thomas Baring, all, M.P., one
of the trustees, occupied the chair.
The following gentlemen connected with the manege-
msnt of the institution were present:—air. Richard
Henry Jones, Mr. John White Welch, Mr. Jolin Clarke,
Mr. A. Dawson, Mr. John James Iselin, Mr. S. Jeppl,
Mr. W. J. Jordan, Mr. J. Lintott, Mr. W. Maitland,
Mr Richard Price, and Mr. IV. S. Sawtell.
Dr. MULLINDER, the secretary, then read the resolu-
tion agreed to at the annual ge,eral meeting held on the
25th of February last, recommending the election of
two additional annuitants, which was to the following
effect:—

" That on the 31st May next, or such other day as
the beard may appeint, due notice of the same being
given to the members, a special meeting be held for the
purpose of electing two edlitional annuitants, one being
a member, the other the widow of a member, duly quali-
fied according to the rules."
Having also read the advertisement convening the
meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said—We have met here to-day for
the purpose of electing as annuitants one clerk and one
widow, the first to an annuity of 251., and the latter to
else of 151. F. ur candidates off red th. inselves in the
first instance—two clerks and two widows, but one clerk
has since withdrawn his name, so that there are now but
three candidates. With regard to the two widows, I am
authorised to state that both are deserving of your
sympathy and support, as both are deprived of their
husbands suddenly—both were fearfully sudden deaths,
as each left his home in perfect health in the morning,
for the purpose of pursuing his usual occupation. Each
widow was left with four ehildren, and each was in the
family way, but one has since been confined. There
can, 'therefore, be no doubt of the strong claim which
both those unhappy persons have to the votes and sup-
port of the subscribers and donors to the fund. I have
nothing more to say, except that the poll will be opened
at once, and carried forward, in accordance with the
rules of the society, until three o'clock, when it will
close, and when the result will be announced to you.
Mr. RICHARD HENRY JONES, the chairman of the
board of management, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr.
Baring for his kindness in taking the chair.
The motion was seconded by Mr. J. W. WELCH, the
deputy. chairman of the board, and carried unani-
mously.
The CHAIRMAN felt much obliged to the meeting for
the compliment, and stated that it would always afford
him the utmost gratification to be of service to the insti-
tution —(Cheers.)
The chair was then taken by Mr. JONES. who pro-
po.ed that the following gentlemen should act as scru-
tineers:—Mr. Jepps, Mr. Lintott, Mr. Maitland, Mr.
Price, Mr. Iselin, Mr. Dawson, Mr. Sawtell, Mr. Clarke,
and Mr. Welch.
The polling was then proceeded with.
The pod was elosee at three o'clock.
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. R. 11. Jones), said—Gentle-
men, befere I declare the result of the poll, I wish
make one or two obsertatiens with respect to this
election of additional annuitants. When the ma-
nagers determined to recommend, at the last meet-
ing, the election of two new annuitants, they laboured
under the impression that no one would come Air-
wave' to offer themselves as candidat s. They,
however, went to the extent they fat the funds would
then allow, and the result has shown how acceptable
•.his resolutien will he to those who may become reci-
pients of this additional aid. They. however, fuel very
deep regret that one of the candidates must be disap-
pointed or the [resent occasion ; that is inevitable—in
fact all must have been prepared for this result before
they proceeded to the poll ; but I can assure you that
in all our proceedings we are influenced by the same
'eelings which prompted the managers in the
first instance to establish this asso nation.--(Hear,
hear.) The same feeling of kindness and benevolence
with which we set out has be, n kept up by us through-
out, and aid hes been extended to those who, from sfil e-
•ion, stand much in need of it, with an unsparing had.
Thus a vast amount of suffering and sorrow has been
assuaged. The utmost delicacy is exercised in di pens-
:t.g relief, so that the feelings of the applicants f, r as-
-Mance in the bums of need, 'and of catalidates for pen-
sions, are never wounded. The fact of the it requiring
aid is kept as secret as possibla as their names are never
eivulged, and their conOition is confined to the
knee ledge of the board, who care:lllly investigate into the
circumstances of the parties seeking assistance ;
and I hope that the course taken on the present occasion
in eivieg the initials only, with the condition of the can-
didate, will secure the approval of the members in
general, as it has done of those who are n,-.w
present. Aid in the slope of gratuities is afforded
in the same manner, and with one or two ex-
ceptions the names of the parties relieved have
never been reveal. d. I have now nothing more to do
than to announce the poll—J. M., the male candidate, is
elected as a matter of course. The numbers polled for
the femaleS are—S. M. C., 584 ; E. L., 1,128 ; conse-
quently J. M. and E. L. have been elected—the former
to an annuity of 251., and the latter to cne of 151.
Dr. MIILLINDER said—Mr. Chairman and brother
members, before you leave, perhaps it may not be the
least consolatory circumstance in the day's proceedings
for you to know something of our past argl present pro-
gress. It is true you met to-day to elect but two out of
four candidates ; but I hope the time is not far distant
when there will not be two to four, but four to our—
(Cheers)—or, in other words, that we shall be
able to afford pensions out of the permanent an-
nuity fund to every member who may be in a
condition to need one. As an evidence that we are pro
gressing, or rather reaching that point when we shall be
enabled to afford all the aid which may be required, I
may state, that in the year 1846 we effected 376 policies;
our income was then 4,841/. New 1847 has been tery
unpropitious; we have hail aphis vastator in the potatoes;
ecu have had a depression in the money market; we have
had provisions at an extravagant rate, and I was told not
many rights ago, by a brother actuary, that no applica-
tions had been made to his office tor policies during the
previous six weeks. Besides these, we have h• d to
deal with public health; b it, notwith tending all these
drawbacks, what is the Provident Clerks' Association
now doing? Up to the end of April this year we had
received 183 policies, anseunthig altogether io 38,6001.,
but since that period they hate inesessed to 208 policies.
amountit g ti au aggrestate of 43.000/., and before the
snd of the present year, if even we go on at the same
slow drag pace as at present, and I sin sure you will
agree whh me that our progress has been hitherto most
satisfactory, the income of the assurance 'denartment
will be very little short of 10.0001. a year.—(Chsers).
Now, when it is recollected that a certain
portion of the subscriptions is carried to the
benevolent fund, and when the benefits derived from the
fund are also duly estimated, I think it is incumbent
upon every individual, whether succesaul or unsuecessful
in life, to subscribe to the permanent annuity fund, and
also to put his shoulder to the wheel, in order that the
fund may be still fur her enhanced. This is to be done
by your recommending your friends and others to par-
ticipate in the advantages which it offers, and conse-
quently to place themselves beyond the reach of abso-
lute want in the season of adversity, and when old age
comes upon them. lui the temporary department we
have no difficulth s to contend with—every ease is met ;
but stilt it is a matter of congratulation to you to know
that you are in a position to go and tell your
friends that we are progressing, and progressing
well—that we are going on and 11-urishing, and that we
only require your active co-operatien and assistancp to
enable tne board to meet every case directly it comes be-
fore them, and to have the satisfaction of saying that
they have no disappointed candidates.—(Cheers.)
Mr. DARKER thought, before the meeting broke up,
that some one should express the satisfaction with which
the society viewed the labours of the directors, and of the
way itt which they had conducted the election. He,
therefore, begged to propose that the thanks of' the
meeting be given to the Chairman and directors for
their exertions at all times on behalf of the institu-
tion.—(Che) rs.)
Mr. FREED seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously.
Mr. R. H. JONES,thechairman, was extremely happy to
find, from the motion which they had adopted, that his
conduct and that of the directors had given satisfaction to
all present. He concluded, therefore, that thoseiloatsspurre;
