The half-yearly meeting of the above cotnpamy was held on
Friday, at tl:e offices, High-street, Colchester; T. L. Ewen,

Mr. G. BAWTRZE, the secretary, read the, directors' report,
which stated that the balance-sheet etbibited a total receipt
from call and deposits of 33,365/. Thttipenditure left a
balance of 22.514/. 6s. 1 Id. The engialier's report declared

availing themselves, in lieu of such dividend, of the dividend
which may be paid by the amalgamated company. It has,
however, been intimated by the directors of the Kilmarnock
and Ardrossan Company, that " it is their opinion that the
proposed terms of amalgamation will nut be ratified by the
shareholders of that company."
The CHAIRMAN moved that the directors be authorised to
conclude an arrangement on the terms formerly offered. They
were not prepared to recommend a fixed guarantee.
This was agreed to.
The motion of which Mr. Bridges had given notice, viz.,
that " there be a total cessation of traffic on this railway on
the Lord's day," was postponed.
A SHAREHOLDER inquired if any offer of a lease had been
made to the Caledonian itself, or was likely to take place.
The CHAIRMAN replied that no offer of a lease had been
made. This was not a point which the directors had at all
pressed forward. The proper time bad not yet arrived for
offering a transfer of this great concern ; and they con-
ceived it would be better to show what the real magnitude
of the traffic would be before they entered into any arrange-
ment of this kind.
The meeting then separated.

WATERLOO (LIVERPOOL) COURSING MEETING.—

TILE WATERLOO CUP.

CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.
(Abridged from the Glasgow Herald.)
On Saturday last a meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held in Gibb's Royal Hotel, Edinburgh ; Mr.
Hope Johnstone,", of Annandale, the chairman of the
directors, in the chair.
A report was read, from which we make the flowing
extracts :
" TheMeectors have much pleasure in laying before the
'proprietors the engineer's _ repute, ate • tae the progress tatthe
works ; from which it will be seen that they are in such a
state of ferwardness as to justify the expectation that the
whole line from Carlisle to Edinburgh and to Glasgow, and
to the junction with the Scottish Central Line at Castlecarry,
will be completed within the next twelve months ; and that
the portion of it from Carlisle to Beattock, a distance of
forty miles, will be opened for the autumn traffic of the pre-
sent year.
"After the severe contest which this company maintained
in the last session of Parliament, and of which the result
was detailed to the shareholders at the meeting in August,
the directors hoped that they should now have been able to
concentrate their attention upon the ordinary business of the
company, unmolested by further opposition. In conse-
quence, however, of certain proceedings on the part of other
railway companies, the directors were obliged to prepare once
more for a Parliamentary contest, in order to defend the le-
gitimate interests of the shareholders.
"The Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Company obtained
their Bill last session, under repeated professions that it au-
thorised a line required for local accommodation alone, and
was neither intended nor adapted to abstract any of the
traffic to which the Caledonian line was properly eniitled to
look for its success. But there have since been proposed, in
connexion with the Glasgow, Dumfries, andCarlisle or Niths-
dale line, and with the assent and approbation of the Ayr-
shire Company, several branches, which, under the pretence
of maintaining possession of the come ry that belongs to
the Nithsdale line,' would tend directly divert a consider-
able amount of the traffic which the Caledonian Company
have always considered themselves peculiarly entitled to ac-
commodate. Thus it was distinctly stated in the reports of
the directors of both these companies that, by means of one
of these lines communicating with the Crawick. branch of
the Nithsdale Railway, a new route will be afforded be-
tween Carlisle, Glasgow, and the north of Scotland, only
about four miles longer than by the Caledonian Railway, and
presenting gradients of an infinitely superior character to
that line:
"Your directors are happy in bein able to state that their g
exertions have already been so far successful that the Bill
for carrying this project into effect has been thrown out upon
standing orders. They were more particularly interested in
this matter, as they always intended to accommodate the
important districts of Lesmahagow, Douglas, Strathaven,
and Dalserf bv branches, which will noi only prove remune-
rative in themselves, but can also be worked with greater
economy and convenience in connexion with the Caledonian
line than with any other. They have accordingly applied to
Parliament for powers to construct branches, which have
been laid out so as to afford the gieateet possible facilities
and accommodation to the very extensive mineral resources
of the district. The directors are happy to add that their
measures have received the cordial support of the Duke of
Hamilton, Lord Douglas, and other influential proprietors on
the line. These branches will have the advantage of affording
ready access to Edinburgh and Glasgow from that part of the
country, and passengers or minerals destined for the south
will obtain access to the main line at Carnwath.
" The directors formerly reported that the committee of
the House of Lords last session, in rejecting the Canobie
branch of the Nithsdale line, intimated that the construction
of branches in the district to the east of the Caledonian Rail-
way might properly be left open to this Company. Notwith-
standing this intimation, the Nithsdale Company have re-
newed their application for a branch to Canobie, and have
likewise projected one to Brampton; both of which branches
cross the main Caledonian line, and are calculated to deprive
it of feeders in this direction, to which it is entitled. The
directors have made preparations for opposing these hostile
schemes; and they have renewed their application for branches
to Canobie and Langholm. They nave also, in the same
Bill, applied for powers to enable the Company to effect a
communication with the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway by
a branch which will terminate at a point near to the town of
Brampton ; and they have included in this Bill side branches
of
'
to the towns of Dumfries and Annan, for the purpose
affording local accommodation to the district, and without
which these towns would be placed at a great disadvantage
in respect to their means of communication with Edinburgh,
Glasgow, and the north of Scotland.
" In addition to these measures, they have applied for au-
thority to enable them to enlarge and complete the Edin-
burgh station, and to construct short branches to Granton, to
Wilsontoun and to Broughton; also to alter the line of the
Garnkirk Railway, and to improve the Buchanan-street sta-
tion in Glasgow.
"The directors also hope to obtain authority to effect the
crossing of the Clyde, if the report of the recent Govetrn.
ment and Admiralty Commissions shill be favourable to he
scheme promoted by this company.
"In connection with this last measure, the directors also
propose to extend the company 'ss teen from Clyde-terrace
into Dunlop-street.
" It may be stated that certain influential individuals have
ent
interested themselves in promoting an amicable arrangem
the
between the Caledonian and competing companies'
directors are not without hope that seine permanent and
and
equitable arrangements may still be concerted.

at a guaranteed rent of seven per cent. per annum, with
division of the surplus profits, atter deducting expenses.

should be sanctioned. The rental, at seven

amounted to 71,4001. The managing beard was to consist of

and two from the Lancaster and Carlisle; the chairman and

of Glas
Mr. ANDRasort, gow, seconded the motion, which
was agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then moved the acquirement of the Wishaw
and Coltness Railway, at a guarantee of 1011 per cent. upon
the capital of 240,0001. This was not a matter of any doubt,
for since the arrangement had been entered into, the revenue
had fully paid the dividend and working expenses=,
traffic and profit were increasing. As com and the
pared with last
year, the revenue had increased by 2001, a week.
Mr. Dickson, of Hartree, seconded the motion, which was
agreed to.
In regard to the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan
Railway, the directors stated that a provisional agreement
was entered into last year with the promoters of this line,
by which the directors agreed to recommend the share-
holders to authorise an arrangement, whereby the capital,
mounting to 700,0001., should, so far us required tor the
undertaking, be amalgamated with the Caledonian Stock,
and bear a dividend of 6 per cent., provided the net profits
of the line should be found to yield that return; with au
option to the Kilmarnock and Ardrossan Company of

THE CHANCELLORSHIP.
CAMBRIDGZ, MARCH 2.—This day a Congregation was
held, at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of reading to the
Senate the following letter written to his Royal Highness the
Prince Albert by the public orator, in the name of the
Senate,"announcing his Royal Highness's election into the
office of Chancellor of the University, of which the following
in a copy :

SUMMO POTENTISSIMOQUE PRINCIPI ALBERTO,

Virum in hac nostrißepublica summo perfunctum munere,

cujus adn►inistratio mquitate, constant* et fide singulari
exim►e Ornate est, mgrs debilitatum valetudine mors acerba
suatulit. Quem paulo ante in hac curia, cum maximo om-
nium consausu, fausto felicique omine inauguratum heta
conspexit, annum fere sept imum ab honoris acceasione agen-
tern, suis luctuosum;grave nobis, nunc mortuum deflet civitas.
Deflet lugetqne mature ereptum legum integerrimum custo-
dem,juris suLyindicem constant issimum,libertatis acerrimum
defensorem, quem ut plus nimio desideremus, minus veren-
dum eat, quam ut, pro co ac debemus, justitiam ejus animique
lenitatem satis grata prosequamur memories. At enim ab
inani desiderio et miscrieordia nos statim revocabat legibus
institutisque nostris obremperatio per gum a magistratus in-
tercapedine diuturniore prrecautum est, quibusque in fait-
rum Reipublicx commodum potius providere prtescriptum
est, quam de honorum interitu frustra dolere et conqueri.
Enimvero quassatte civitati promptos jubebant succurrere,
novas vives illicio sufficere, novum robur suppeditare, alia de-
nique dignitatis ornaments et prassidia stabilitatis adsciscere,
potuisquam ea,quw perierant, sublata ex oculus quterere. Cum

quo, nisi ad tuam auctoritatem summan spectatissimam-

tam mal-mopere expetendum erat, quam ut illustrem istum
splendorem sibi posset adjungere, qui tuis auspiciis guber-
natEe canni accessurus est civitati? Itaque vulneribus
remedium qusetanti tua prmsentissima occurrebat sanatio,
qute perculsa et prostrate jacebant excitare et instaurare to

gratiam, fore ut non modo jacentem civitatem extollere, sed
etiam amplificare ejus pristinam dignitatem liceat, facile
persuasum est. Quid ? quod a Regibus olim fundata, Re-
gum, uti par erat, patrocinium petebat Academia. Princi-

vogue honorum adjutorem adscisci posse, talem fortuna-
rum suasum defensorem et custodem, qualem te quoque,
Primps clementissime, futurum ease penitus confidit Civitas.
His igitur literis tibi significandum ease Senatus cen-
suit, ad amplissimum munus et officium te libentissime
suffragiis suis elegisse. Quam rerum administrationem ut
clementer yells suscipere, omni studio et veneratione orat
atque obsecrat Academia. Liceat nobis supplicare ut Rem-
publicam nostram maxima auctoritate tuft confirmes. ut
hanc sedem antiquam Philosophite dignitate tuft exornes,
literis et humanitate illustrens reddas, ut jura defendas, ut
libertatem tuearis, et denique in nosmet imperium teneas,
quod paci et tranquillitati maximo conducat, quod religioni
et pietati erga Deum prtesertim favest, quod hub nni magis
omnibus inserviat, in quo salus prtecipue nititur Academies,
pressidio videlicet Ecclesite.
A grace was then offered to the Senate and passed for
affixing the seal and presenting the letter to his Royal

paired straightway to Buckingham Palace to lay the result
before his Royal Highness. They were honoured by an in-

terms of satisfaction at the distinguished honour conferred
upon him by the University of Cambridge, and the sincere

versity discipline, and evinced considerable knowledge of the
Oxford and Cambridge systems.

Chancellor is expected to take place on Thursday, the 18th
