YALE OF NEATH RAILWAY.

The first ordinary meeting of the proprietors of this
company was held yesterday at the company's offices, 449,
West Strand, Viscount Villiers, M.P. (chairman), in
the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said that this railway would extend
from Neath to Merthyr Tydvil, and passed through a
country remarkable for its richness, which
it would connect with Merthyr. They would require to
be vested with authority to made additional purchaies
in the Collieries, as well as in other places.-,(Hear.)
The sum which would be required, including everything,
was somewhere under 17,0001. He took the maximu►u
—(Hear, hear.) They would submit to the meeting,
according to Act of Parliament, the resolutions that
would be m cessary for the appointment of the se-
cretary and of the other officials. It was the
intention of the directors to proceed immediately
with the works. They would have a meeting to-
morrow, when they would determine on what part of
4the line they would commence their operations, and
they would be enabled to open the line before next year.
The SECRETARY then read the report, which recom-
mended that Mr. Frederick Saunders be re-elected as
secretary. It further stated that, owing to the shortness
of time that had elapsed since the Act of Incorporation
was obtained, they had not been able to ascertain
with accuracy the expenses incurred up to that time. In
conclusion, it stated that an agreement had been entered
into with the South Wales Company for the purpose of
securing the construction of a branch to the port of
Neath.

The report wcs adopted, and ordered to Le printed
and circulated among the shareholders.

The CHAIRMAN, in reply to some qu,:stions, stated
that 21,110 shares had been registered, and that some
had been reserved for the Great Western Railway Com-
pany. The number of unregistered shares was 5,980.
The Chaiman and the other directors were ro-electe.:.
A st-,m of I,OOOL was then voted to the directors ; and
the re-appointment of the various officials, tactiler with
their salaries, having been determined, thanks were
voted to the Chairman, and the meeting then separated.

LARNE, BELFAST, AND BALLY-

MENA RAILWAY.

A meeting of the scripholders of this company was
held yesterday, at twelve o'clock, at the London Tavern,
to consider on the dissolution of the company under Lord
Dalhousie's Act. Mr. Spottiswood occupied the chair.
Messrs. Thos. M.Quig, James Watt, and James
Brydon were then appinted scrutineers.
The CHAIRMAN then moved that this company be
forthwith dissolved, and put the question. lle then
moved that this dissolution be not an act of bankruptcy,
and put this question to the meeting.
A PROPRIETOR wished to know whether the directors
present represented scrip.
The CHAIRMAN—Of course they do.
Mr. CoHEN asked whether the 3,500/. applied by the
directors in the purchase of shares had been paid into
the assets of the company ?
The CHAIRMAN—Of course not. It was a purchase
for the company.
The scrutineers then reported that 505 had voted for
dissolution and 25 against it ; that 320 voted against its
being an act of bankruptcy, and 60 for it,125 being neuter.
Mr. M'Quiu said it was necessary for the Chairman
to produce his scrip, though he could not vote ; but
having understood, as a scrutineer, that the Chairman
had, by inadvertancy, left his scrip at home, he believed
no one would doubt the Chairman having scrip, and
moved, therefore, that he be continued in the chair.
This was put and carried.
The CHAIRMAN then said he was happy to tell the
shareholders, that since he last met them the surplus
funds were in a better condition ; that instead of 7s. 6d.
a share he expected there would be 10s., unless some
expenses were created to the: company of which they
had no anticipation.
A PROPRIETOR Could not understand how the direc-
tors could have spent 325. a share.
The CHAIRMAN—In obtaining their Act of Parlia-
ment. •

Mr. Buitertux said, in the case of this company the
Act may be said to have been obtained, for they had
gone through all the trouble and expenses necessary ;
they had gone through the Lords, and they were ad-
vanced in the Commons as far as the third reading.
Mr. COHEN—The North Staffordshire, which sus-
tained a contest for nearly two years, had only con-
tracted 16s. expenses per share. •
Mr. Bunciaux said that Mr. Cohen would recollect
that in the case of the North Staffordshire there was a
large capital, whereas in this company the capital was
but small, and the expenses and fees of the House were
the same, or nearly so, in both instances.
Mr. COHEN.—There is 8001. put down by the directors
for travelling expenses, and yet in the North Stafford-
shire they were no more than 400/. ; a line as long again
as this one.
Mr. BURCHILL—The travelling is to Ireland in the
one case and not in the other.
Mr. MORLEY said that when first this company was
brought before the public he had become one of the
board. After sitting there for a time he felt
it necessary to retire. He found, however, that he
could not withdraw his interest so easily as his per •
son from the company, and therefore to protect
that, he begged his friends again to have him elected.
If there had been any improper conduct in this
company, he was ready to go into a court of bank-
ruptcy. with the shareholders, or he would go with
them into the Court of Chancery; or, which he thought
the better advice. he would be happy to co-operate with ono
or two gentlemen from among the shareholders assembled,
on a committee to investigate the accounts of the com-
pany before next meeting. He believed he was still
legally liable for all that had been done by the directors
in his absence, and he was ready to meet his liabilities
and to investigate 4he charges. There were thirteen or
fourteen directors at first, and here were only three to
answer for their conduct.
Mr. CoHEN was most happy to hear the suggestion
lust made, and
gave it his decided support.
After an altercation of a somewhat personal character
between Mr. Cohen and the Chairman, Messrs. M'Quig
and Cohen were deputed on the part of the shareholders
to confer with the directors on the affairs of the com-
pary, and to report at next meeting.
The CHAIRMAN adjourned' the meeting to .the Gth
October next, at two o'clock.

THE ISLE OF CHERINION.
(From the Gazette of last night.)
ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 28, 1846.—Dispatches have been
received, at this office, from Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas
Cochrane, C. 8., addressed to the Secretary of the Admi-
ralty, of which the following are copies
Spiteful, off the city of Brune, Borneo Proper,
July 9, 1846.
Sir,—l request you will inform my Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty, that, for the reason assigned
in a separate dispatch, I determined with a competent
force to ascend to the city of Brune, and call upon the
Sultan for an explanation of his conduct with regard to
the atrocities attributed to him. _ _

Neither the Dxdalas nor Pluto having joined me from
Hong-Kong, I made the necessary dispositions of the
force at my command, as more fully detailed in the ac-
companying programme.
I had received information that the approach to the
island of Cherimon was defended by two batteries, and
that five others were planted at the narrows formed by
the island of Bungore and the right bank of the river,
and that three heavy batteries protected the city.
While the arragements for the expedition were in pro-
gress, I. accompanied by Mr. Brooke, reconnoitred the
isle of Cherimon, and found that, although there was one
battery of five guns established on it, and four guns on
Palo Coin Arrang, admirably placed for enfilading the
approach over the bar, which lies immediately in front
of and close to them ; they were, however, not perfected.
and both islands were abandoned ; and as I had no dis-
tinct authority for considering that thnse batteries were
intended to act hostilely towards us, I in no manner in-
terfered with them, either by spiking or otherwise in-
juring the guns.
On my return on board, I received a letter from the
Sultan, of which the accompanying is a translation,
having attached to it the seals of Pangeran Muda Maho-
med, legitimate son of the late Sultan, and that of Pange-
ran Moumien, in addition to his own. These seals Mr.
Brooke believed to be forgeries ' • the letter, however,
neither prohibited an approach by an armed force, nor
threatened resistance if it did so.
On the 7th instant, I hoisted my flag on board this
ship, commanded by Commander William Maitland, and
taking in tow the Hazard and Royalist, and preceded by
the Phlegethon, ascended the river to Cherimon ; but it
was not till yesterday morning I was enabled to over-
come the difficulties of the bar, and was then obliged to
leave the Hazard aground upon it.
Having my whole available force collected, I proceeded
towards the city, which lies about nine miles up a very
picturesque river. The Phlegethon led, for the purpose
of sounding its intricate approaches, having in tow the
gun-boats ; the Spiteful followed, towing the Royalist ;
and astern of her the boats intended for landing the
seamen and marines.

On approaching Pulo Bungore, five forts opened to
view, admirably placed for denying a passage beyond
them, two were erected on our right hand, one on the
eft shore over the narrow forrow formed by Pulo Bun
gore and the main, and the largest of the whole on the
side of a hill, elevated about one hundred feet (imme-
diately in front of tho narrows), and which sandbanks
compel you to stand directly for, and to pass within from
seventy to eighty yards ; the fifth battery was further
up the river on the same side.

-Shortly after we were discovered, the fifth battery
fired a gun, and within a few minutes the largest hoisted
a flag, which Mr. Brooke informed me was the flag of
our friend, Muda Hassin, who had been murdered ; and
we were in doubt whether this was not intended as an,
intimation that we should be received as friends ; we
were not however left long in suspense upon this subject,
as the moment the Phiegethon had passed the narrows,
the battery commenced a spirited fire, which was
promptly returned ; the gun-boats, commanded by
Captain Mundy, of the Iris, and assisted by Lieutenant
G. E. Patey, First Lieutenant of the Agincourt, with
rapidity cast off from the steamer, formed in a line, and
opened their fire, and so soon as the enemy's fire had
slackened, pushed for the shore. and gallantly mounted
the steep ascent to the fort, but from whence"the garrison
retreated precipitately, leaving the Sultan's flag to be
hauled down by the assailants.
Being anxious to proceed to the city and finish my
operations against it before dark, I only gave Captain
Mundy time t spike the guns and throw them over the
walls and blow up the magazine, when I proceeded to
my tnain object.

Aware that the Sultan had a haavy battery, a fleur
d'eau, pointing directly down to a bend of the river,
from which it was distant about eight hundred yards,
and round which we must turn, and understanding that
he had heavy works on the hills not far in the rear, I
anchored immediately behind the point that protected
us from them, to make my final arrangements for
landing, &c. &c. Thee arrangements were, however,
overturned by the viol, nee of the ebb tide, which set
down the river with a rapidity against which a row
boat could with difficulty contend. I was therefore
under the necessity of towing both gun boats and divi-
sion for landing; the former by the Phlegethon, and the
latter by the Spiteful.
Having given the people their dinners, I again
weighed, and no sooner did the ships open the point,.
than the b merles commenced a sharp and extremely
well directed fire, and at the same time a play of
mu,ketry tram the woods on our right, and to which the
Spiteful aas obliged to submit without retaliation ; the
critical situation in which she was placed (with the
beach but a few yards beyond her peddle boxes. the
It.,yalist in tow, and the boats filled with the whole of
the landing force), requiring the utmost silence and
attention to prevent the whole being threwn on shore.
But the Phlegethon v .ry promptly retwned the fire from
her own guns, which, with the battery of field pieces
plaeed round her bows, and the admirable fire from the
brigade of reekets planted upon her brithe.e (both field
pieces and rockets under the immedi ito command
of Lieutenant I'tynter), together with the now rat; id
progress of the whale force directly up the river, so
astonished and dismayed the enemy, that they fl ci
before the steamer could reach their works, or tini
storntiog party carry out the service intended for it.
lie Tnekly 'is possible the landing was effected, and the
marines, under Captain Hawkins, immediately took pos-
session of the heia tits which command the town
The batiery, Fleur d'eau, was found to consist of eight
brass an I two iron guns, from sixty-eight to nine poun
ders, as more particularly detailed in the accompanying
schedule. The one upon the heights immediately above
it, of four guns, nine and six pounders, and four more
upon another height commanding the latter, and a hun-
dred yarda in the rear of it ; the whole are now in course
of embarkation.

I much r gret to add, that this service was not ac-
complished without loss, two men being killed and seven
wounded ; and the Phlegethon received several shots
through her hull, and other damages in her paddle box,.
cookmg boilers, &c., and which arc now in the course of
repair.

So soon al the preliminary arrangements wet e ma&
for the security of the city, I dispatch d Cap a'n M they
with the gun brats to destroy the five 20 is we hao
pu,se-1, and which he effected the same evening, having
disabled seventeen iron, and brought away three brass
guns.

The Sultan, I am informed, has fl .d into the in!orior
with a large body of men, and many guns. I am now
preparing a f,,ree to semi in pursuit of him, so soon as I
have accurate information of his !Awe of retreat.
The gratifying duty now d..,volves on me, of assuring
their Lo:dships of the zeal and devotion to the service
of every individual I had the honour to have under my
command. I have already mentioned the name of Lieu-
tenant Patey, the First Lieutenant of the Agincourt, as
second in command under Captain Monday in the gun
boats, and of whom Captain Mundy soea,ks in the highest
terms ; and I must bring to their Lordships' notice
Lieutenant Payr.ter, the gunnery Lieutenant of the sun(
ship. Ile was Adjutant of the landing party, and also
commanded the rocket brigade at Malloodoo Bay last
yuar, and the field piece aid rocket brigades on the pre-
sent expedition. On every occasion that his services
have been required, I have remarked his zeal and intel
ligence, and to his assiduity and attention is mainly to
be attributed the present state of gunnery discipline of
the Agincourt; and the precision with which the field
pieces, and particularly the rockets, were fired, affords a
practical proof of the value of his instructions.
Upon two former services, Captain Hawkins has com-
manded the marines, amounting on this occasion to
nearly 200 men, and the same zeal and attention has
marked his conduct in the present, as in every former
instance ; and I have invested him with the charge of
the protection of the town.

I must not omit to mention the care and assiduity dis-
played by Mr. J. E. Elliott, the Master of the Agin-
court, in sounding the various intricacies of our ap•
proach, and preparing himself for the responsibilities of
a pilot in a pert hitherto unknown to him.
Although I have thus extremely limited the list of
officers brought prominently before their Lordships, I
trust their Lordships willtot for an instant believe that
such restriction arises from insensibility to the merits of
all engaged ; but where zeal has been general and
equal, I feel a delicacy in drawing attention to one to
the exclusion of another. Their Lcrdships will have
before them the programme already referred to, con-
taining the name of every officer employed, and the
duties assigned him • and I have the authority of the cap-
tains and officers under whom they served, for assuring
their Lordships, that one principle of zeal and devotion
influenced the whole.

The Phlegethon, Honourable East India Company's
stea-rer, commanded by Mr. R. S. Ross, was placed
under my command, as their Lordships are already
aware, by the Governor of the Streights ; and it is a
pleasing duty to perform, in assuring their Lordships
that the good opinion I had already formed of this officer,
when formerly under my orders in China, has,
through his great zeal and activity, been fully main-
tained on the present occasion ; and that it is my in-
tention to make a similar communication to the Gover-
nor-General of India.

I may not close this dispatch without conveying to
Mr. Brooke, through its medium, my best thanks for
the solicituee be has manifested for the success of the
expedition, and the kind and important assistance I
have received from him towards securing its favourable
result ; and I feel persuaded I shall not be disappointed
in my expectation, that he will cheerfully permit me
to draw still further upon his services.
I have the honour, &c.

aloud JUIN Broke, Eili; r Melia Muds Maimed

sends many compliments, and wishes to state some par-
ticulars about a ship which lately came to Borneo.
When the news arrived in the city, within four or five
hours afterwards the Sultan ordered a boat with two
Pangerans. the chief of whom was Pangeran Sore, and
Pangeran llashim. On arriving at the ship they met
the captain, and on finishing their conversation with
him they requested leave to return, and the captain re-
marked—" At eight o'clock to-morrow I shall come up
and meet the Sultan."
The Sultan was pleased to learn this, and waited two
days without the captain coming, therefore he sent a
boat with two Pangerans with a present of a bullock and
fowls, and the provisions of the place. On arriving at
the ship the captain would not receive them, and ordered
them to return, not allowing them to approach.
On her returning to the city the Sultan required the
news, and was very sorry, as was likewise the Pangeran
Muda Mahomed, that the boats and presents of the
Sultan had not been received. A follower of the Pan-
geran Beduruden, by name Si Japper, whom the Pan-
geran Muda Mahomed wished to detain, fled to the ship,
and it was in consequence of this the captain did not re-
ceive the boat, because he was very angry. The Pan-
geran Muda Mahomed, with many compliments, re-
quests our friend not to believe anything Si Japper may
have stated. Even the Sultan himself our friend cannot
believe, without being certain of the facts from the other
Rajahs, the Ministers and Nacodahs, and the people in
general.
With our compliments we state our friend can con-
sider the facts.
