. This, ,Pank will combine the advantages of complete security to
shareholders, depositors, and others, with an ample return upon the
capital Invested In the undertaking. This will be accomplished in the
following manner:—

All the funds of the Bank, with the exception of those required for
current purposes, will be invested in Exchequer Bills, India Bonds,
or the Public Funds. and in no other securities whatevq.
:The various branches of business transacted by other banks will be
undertaken by this Establishment, with the exception of discounts;
but accommodation in this respect will he procurable on the most
favourable terms, through the agency of this Bank.
Advances will be made solely upon the securities specified above,
and no person wiil•be allowed to overdraw his account. _ _

Interest, at the rate of I% per cent., will be allowed tipoti-Secial
Deposits, and the tre4ter halve, of Exchequer Bills, or India Bonds,
of a corresponding amount, will be given, if required, to the depo-
sitor; such dep. sits, if under 10,0001., may be withdrawn without
notice; and if amounting to 10,000?., and upwards, at One day's
notice.

With a view to assure the shareholders and depositors of the con-
stant management of, the Bank under the rules laid down, and to
keep them at all times acquainted with its condition and security,
there will be three auditors, whose duty it will be at least once in
-every month, and as much oftener as they may think proper, to in-
Spect the accounts and securities in the Bank, and who will have a
discretionary power to call a special general meeting of the proprie-
tors, at, any time they-may think such a measure advisable.
A preliminary, account has been opened with the Bank of England,
in the names of six of the directors above-mentioned.
The unequalled security which this E stahlishment will afford to all
classes associated with it, is perhaps a sufficient guarantee for the
patronage of the public, and its censequent success.
The shareholders will find in it a perfectly safe, and at the same
time a more profitable investment than that presented by any Esta-
blishment subject to the well known general risks of the Banking
business, since it will be free from those losses which operate in
other eases as a drawback on the dividend.

----.oepo;itors—%;illl;;ii:e,iniiiel;Osii;Oi;ession, indisputable proof
of the safety of their property, and other persons employing this

Establishment will find all the conveniences attending private or
Joatt-Stock Banks.

The outline which has been given will convey a general idea of the
plan. In the prospectus will he found the fullest information, and
an address in-which is discussed the system of Banking now in opera-
tion, and the necessity for the introduction of a new system, con-
-forming itself to the regulations of the above-mentioned Act of Par-
liament, for the purpose of affording greater security than could
hitherto be obtained,, the want cf which has been manifested by the
heavY'losseS Which ninny Joint-Stock Banks have sustained.

THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER
30 to 50 per Cent. Saved!
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
l'he advantages resulting from the invention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ thlf com-
bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects
or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have
made to the introduction of gas in dwellin:;-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ;
these are entirely obviatfd by the " PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS
iluftwza." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com-
monly supposed, It is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and 'albite buildings. One of the
small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
immeasurably.lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
waste or trouble.

The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic
opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Extract from the Proceedino of the Institution of Civil En,ineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Joins RENNIE, President, in the Chair.
" A gas burner of a nevel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
fhe air passing up through the hollow stein of the button, was
heated, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the pert phery,
and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburettcd hydrogen gas, produced a very ptrf.3ct combustion,
The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third."

Grazing and Dairy Farms, extending nearly to the town of Win-
slow, and only five miles from the county and borough town of

inform his friends that he has taken the house, No. 44, Finsbury-

is a large one, he will be enabled to do away with the great incon-
venience of 'keeping patients waiting so long, as he is nosy sometimes
compelled to cio; it being his infention to have eight operating rooms,
and thus have eight patients under the operation at one time. In
the interim, invalids who may be desirous of having his pamphlet on

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS,
(An Essay for 1846.)
"Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.

Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables forall Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelhags, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind_ By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein container the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of hursan disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader rhall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family ci,•cle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the avallinent hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lit e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation 'f our faculties, which is In-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justilleation for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

NOTICES Ot THE PRESS.
From the Mark-lane Express.--., The work now before ns will be
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between irritative' and inflammatory' action in
determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully
perused Mr. Franks's book, We can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con-
tains may not only afford relief to the mind upun the appearance of
symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed,
but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric,"

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

TRAFFIC ON METROPOLITAN LINES.

The following is a synopsis of the number of passen-
ger trains daily leaving London:—
THE GREAT WESTERN.—On this line of railway 19
trains start from the Paddington terminus. Of this num-
ber 11 go through to Exeter, 5 not further than Bristol,
13 to Oxford, including one which starts from the Did-
cot Junction, 10 to Gloucester, 2 only as far as Reading,
3to Maidenhead, and 2to Slough. On Sundays the
number is reduced to 9, five of which convey passengers
through to Exeter, and the same number to Oxford and
Gloucester, 2 only as far as Slough, 1 to Maidenhead,
and 1 to Reading.
THE NORTH WESTERN (late London and Birmingham)
North and South Branches, starts 22 trains daily from
the Euston station. Of these 1 takes passengers through
to Carlisle, by means of the Midland and North of Eng-
land Railways, 3 to Durham, 3 to Shields, 5 to New-
castle, 7 to York, 8 to Leeds, 4 to Derby by Birmingham,
and 8 by Rugby, 7 to Manchester, 8 to Liverpool and
Chester, 4 to Lancaster, 3 only as far as Birmingham, 6
to Northampton and Peterborough, 4 not further than
Rugby, 2 to Aylesbury, 1 to Tring, 1 to Blisworth, 1 to
Watford, and 7 for Leamington and Warwick. On Sun-
days the number leaving London is reduced to 7.
THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON conveys passengers daily
by 10 trains, of which 8 go through to Chichester, 1 not
further than Brighton, and one stops at Lewes. On
Sundays only 4 trains are started.
THE EASTERN COUNTIES (Cambridge line).—To the
various places on this line no fewer than 22 trains are
started daily from the Shoraditch station. Five of the
number convey passengers through to Norwich and
Yarmouth, 1 to Brandon,, 2 not further than Ely, 1 to
Cambridge, 1 to Wendon, 8 to llertford, 1 to Brox-
bourn, and 3 not further than Waltham. On Sundays
10 trains are started.
THE EASTERN COUNTIES (Colchester Line). —On
this branch of the Eastern Counties 9 trains start daily,
6 go through to Ipswich, 1 not further than Colchester,
and 2to Brentwood. On Sunday the number is reduced
to 6,3 of which go the full distance, 1 to Chelmsford,
and 2 to Brentwood. _

- _
TRH SOUTH-WESTERN.--On this line 18 trains leave
the :Nine Elms Station, 11 proceeding through to South-
ampton and Gosport, and 7to Guildford. On Sundays,
the number is reduced one-half, 5 of which go the whole
distance.

THE SOUTH-EASTERN.—There are ten trains started
on this line from the London-bridge and Bricklayers'
Arms stations daily through to Dover, but conveying
passengers for all the branch lines. On Sundays the
number is reduced to six. _

THE RICHMOND.—On this railway seventeen trains
run daily, and on Sundays the number is limited to
thirteen.
On the CROYDON and GREENWICH the trains run every
hour (with four extra trains on the former) and every
quater of an hour.
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES.—The
directors of the decried Eastern Counties have at length
come to resolutions of amendment, and have set vigor-
ously to work in reforming the faulty features of their
line. We understand that within the last few months
extensive improvements have been made on the Cam-
bridge and Colchester lines, the cost of which has
amounted to upwards of half a million. Many of the
accidents that occurred on these lines arose from an
imperfect code of signals, more especially at night
time; in fact some of the smaller stations were en-
tirely without them. Since that period, however, the
entire property of the company has been fitted with
patent semaphore signals, both to the up and down rails.
At night they display most powerful discs, which
can be seen, providing the weather is clear, full three
miles distant. The whole of the stations have in other
respects undergone a considerable alteration, and some
of them have been entirely rebuilt, large warehouses
being erected to every one of them, for the purpose of
carrying on the goods traffic. At Ely extensive works
are in progress in forming a kind of canal or dock near
the line, while the station is bring otherwise enlarged,
to meet the increase of trade. At Carnhridee a range of
storehouses has been erected, and at Bishops Stortford
the oil station has been demolished, and in its place a
fine commodious building has sprung up. The Hertford
branch is being laid with a double hue of rails, and in a
few weeks will be thrown open to the public. On the
Colchester line a beautiful station has been built, in the
Elizabethan style, at Ingatestone. Its accommodations
are of a very ample character, and it has every con-
venience for cattle. New stations have also been built
at Brentwood and at Forest-gate, all of which appear, by
a recent trip on the line, to be fitted with the necessary
arrangements for the protection of the public. The elec-
tric telegraph is complete from London to Yarmouth, and
in a few days it will be properly adjusted to Colchester
and Ipswich. A double line of rails is to be forthwith
laid down on the Thames Junction, so as to work the
passenger traffic on to the N girth Woolwich line, and
which will be ready for opening in a few months. Addi-
tions have been and are being made at the goods depot
of the company in Bethnal-green; but the great im-
provement will be ,the erection of a new terminus in
Bishopsgate, and the building of a general station,
workshops, &c., at Stratford, the Acts for which were
passed during the late session. The latter will be of
great extent, and Mr. Hudson, M.P., chairman, with
his co-directors, were engaged until late yesterday
afternoon in completing the arrangements for its forma-
tion. The new terminus will be one: of the largest in
the kingdom, and will extend a considerable way up
and down Shoreditch. One portion will be devoted to
the short traffic trains, and the other to the through
traffic, whereby the inconvenience felt by the confined
construction of the present station will be obviated. The
parties working the signals undergo a strict examina-
tion as to their qualification for such an office before
they are appointed. The rule is a very necessary one
for the protection of the public, and the directors have
placed a superintendent over them, who is solely en-
gaged in seeing that they fulfil their duties correctly.
THE GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER.—This railway, in
the hands of the South-Eastern Company, is about to
undergo considerable improvement, by the introduction
of a double instead of a single line as at present. For
this purpose works of some magnitude will be required,
more particularly within the tunnel, where the canal
must be filled up. On Tuesday, Mr. Stephenson, the
engineer of the South-Eastern, surveyed the line, and it
is proposed to close it about the first week in November,
in order to accomplish the work. Arrangements have
been entered into with Messrs. Grissell and Peto for the
purpose, and a great number of hands are to be em-
ployed, so as to ensure its completion within a given
time, and under this arrangement it is calculated that the
traffic will not experience an interruption of more than
six weeks. In connexion with these works, it is also
intended to proceed immediately with the line from
Woolwich to Gravesend; and those to Maidstone, Chil-
ham, &c., will next engage the attention of the 'company.
POOR PEOPLE'S TRIP TO FLEETWOOD.—On Monday
last the third annual trip of poor people left the Maud-
land station about eight o'clock. The number of per-
sons who were gratuitously accommodated was upwards
of 1,500. This large number speaks well for the bene-
volence of the people of Preston, all the tickets having
been purchased by parties, and afterwards presented to
those who were supposed to be unable to pay for the en-
joyment of a trip to the sea side. Long before the hour
of departure the station was crowded with a numerous
concourse of poor people of both sexes; also a good num-
ber of " young 'uns." All along the line, and upon the
bridges near the station, an immense number of persons
were also assembled to witness the departure of the mon-
ster train that was to convey the parties to Fleetwood.
One very interesting circumstance took place, which we
are glad to record, namely, the arrival of Mr. Billing-
' tme's omnibus, which had been engaged by Messrs. Ilor-
rocleo, Miller, and Co., to convey a number of aged and
infirm persons to the station. About a quarter to nine
o'clock the train, consisting of 44 carriages moved off
amid the shouts of the spectators. A large
number of flags and small union jacks were
waved from the carriages, some of which were deco-
rated with evergreens ; on one of them was stationed
the Rechabite band, and on another a number of casks
anti boxes containing provisions for the day. The
train on its arrival at Fleetwood drew up on the quay,
when the immense assemblage alighted and dispersed to
enjoy themselves as they thought fit. About noon was
the time for bathing, and the males were seen enjoying
themselves and performing all sorts of manecavres in the
briny element ; the females were accommodated at a
low charge by the owners of the machines. Many en-
joyed themselves by short excursions in the small plea-
sure boats, all the steamers being at sea or finder repair,
and the exhibition of Mr. Carte's rocket experiments was
a great attraction. Soon after five o'clock the carriages
were again filled with the numerous party, and in an-
other hour all were set down safely at the Maudland
station, amid the welcome of the surrounding spectators.
Nothing occurred during the whole day to mar the en-
joyment of the parties, and none seemed to have trans-
gressed the strict rules of sobriety, with the exception
of one man and two women, out of upwards of 1,500
persons. The Wyre Company deserve our notice for
providing comfortable carriages for so large a number at
the very low prices they charged, namely, sixpence each
there and back. Great preise is due also to the parties
who have had the management of this trip, among whom
we may name Mr. Joseph Livesey, sen., Mr. Cartwright,
Mr. Boob Mr. Walsh, Mr. Baxter, and others.—Freston
Chronicle.
DUNDALK AND ENNISKILLEN.—We visited on Friday
last the works of this company from Castleblayney to
Pundalk, and it was very pleasing to observe the pro-
p ess made and the activity with which the contractors
are getting forward. In the vicinity of Castleblayney
there are now about 700 men employed, and in the

PRICE SD.

course of a fortnight a large number of additional hands
will be put on, as the contractors will by that time have
obtained possession of all the land on their contract.
On Friday Mr. Kane, the solicitor, and Mr. Golding,
one of the directors, met a number of the occupying
tenants at Culloville, and amicable arrangements for the
purchase of about two miles of the line near that village
were made. The money was paid down and possession
given. There are only a few claimants remaining un-
settled with on this contract, and as they are all tenants-
at-will there will be no difficulty in settling with them,
the proprietor in fee, the Diarquis of Bath, having ar-
ranged with the company. Approaching Dundalk the
works have made considerable progress, and the con-
tractors having lately got possession of nearly all the
land required are about to employ more hands. On the
whole line under contract there are now about 1,300 men
employed, which number will in a few weeks be in-
creased to nearly -3,000--Dublin Railway Gazette.
A NEW RAILWAY SIGNAL.—A new railway signal,
intended to afford a certain and speedy mode of corn -
munication between the guard and driver of a train, was
on Tuesday tried on the Eastern Counties Railway during
a trip made especially to exhibit the same from London
to Romford. A party of gentlemen connected with
various railway companies, and otherwise interested in
railway travelling, assembled on the invitation of Mr. J.
H. Dutton, the patentee, at one o'clock, at the Shore-
ditch terminus, where the nature cif the invention was
explained to them by that gentleman in person. The
proposed contrivance is' " pie enough, and consists of
a small copper tube, ab one inch in diameter, at-
tached to the bottom of th, itngine and each carriage in
t
the train. On the engine, and on each carriage where
a guard is seated, an upright tube communicates with
the longitudinal one beneatb. This tube is supplied
with a small brass whistle and mouthpiece. The action
may be thus explained :—A train consisting of twelve
carriages would probably have two guards, one sta-
tioned on the last carriage, and one about the middle
of the train. The guard on the last carriage wishes
to bring the Lain to a sudden stand, for this purpose he
blows through the mouthpiece attached to his upright
tulip, taking care, at the same time, by raising a small
brass lever, to render quiescent the action of his own
whistle. The attention of the driver and the second
guard is immediately arrested by the sound of the
whistles attached to their respective tubes, the steam is
shut off, the breaks applied, and the train stopped. The
chief advantages which Mr. Dutton's invention appears
to possess over others of a somewhat similar nature
which have preceeded it, is the placing the whistle
at the extremity of the tabe, instead of near the
mouthpiece, through which the air enters. By this
arrangement the sound is preserved, and heard very
plainly by the parties to whom it is addressed, even
when a train is at full speed. The trial yesterday
was with a train of twelve carriages, and we believe the
experiment was considered, so far as it went, perfectly.
satisfactory. The break between the carriages is sup-
plied by an elastic wire and India rubber tube, which
is fitted and detached with great facility. The expense
of the signal, Mr. Dutton states, will not exceed 30s. per
carriage.

INDSOR, SLOUGH, and STAINES

ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY COMPANY.

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—An adjourned
meeting of the shareholders in this Company was held
this afternoon, in the Town Hall, for the purpose of re-
ceiving a report from the Committee appointed on the

19th tilt., to terms from the South-Western Com-
pany, relative to an union of their respective interests.
Amongst those present were Mr. J. T. Bedborough (the
projector of the atmospheric line from Windsor to
Slough and Staines), Messrs. Apsley Pellatt, John
Clode, J. Ridgway, Caleb Norris, S. Minton, W. Long,
C. Poster, J. Cleave, W. Chater, J. Chapman, J. Bed-
borough, C.V. Fowler, &c.
Mr. J. T. BEimonoucu, having been voted into the
chair, after briefly opening the proceedings by stating
that the meeting had taken place for the purpose of re-
ceiving a report from the five gentlemen who were ap-
pointed at the last meeting of the scripholders to nego-
tiate with the South-Western Railway Company, called
upon Mr. Chapman to read the report; which states as
follows:—The deputation have now the satisfaction of
reporting that the South-Western Railway Company are
prepared coadially to co-operate in the extension of the
line through Richmond +0 Staines and Windsor, and to
accept the proposals made by the deputation, and the
following basis of an agreement has been come to:—
" That a new company be formed by an amalgamation
of the Windsor, &c., and the Staines and Richmond
Company, in conjunction with the South-Western Com-
pany, the directors of which are to be appointed accor-
ding to the capital represented. The Windsor capital to
be considered as 150,0001, and the Staines and Rich-
mond as 200,0001.

" Such part of that capital as the present scripholders
in each of those companies may respectfully please, is
to be contributed by them (taking their shares at par),
the Suuth• Western Company agreeing to find such part
of the capital as may not be thus taken up.
" The South-Western Company will gaurantee to
lease the line at a rental of 41 per cent. on the gross out-
lay (including the expenses hitherto incurred), and half
the profits, with an option to purchase."
(Signed by the five members of the Committee.)

Thereport:which appared to give very general satia-
tion to all present, was, upon the motion of Mr. FOSTER,
seconded by Mr. APSLEY PELLATT, unanimously re-

ceived.

DIRECT LONDON AND PORTS-

MOUTH RAILWAY.

The first ordinary meeting of this Company was held,
yesterday at the London Tavern, for the transaction of
general business.
W. A. Wilkinson, Esq., took the chair.
Mr. R. S. YOUNG read the report.
The CHAIR3IAN then, after commenting on the
severity of the struggle in which the Company had been
engaged while getting their Bill, proceeded to point out
certain mistakes in the speech of the chairman of the
South-Western, at the recent half-yearly meeting of that
company. He then read long extracts as reported in a
newspaper, and apologised for having used the words
" madly" and " stupidly," in speaking of the alleged
breach of agreement by the South-Western. The
chairman, having reported the statement of Mr. Chaplin,
with regard to the Brighton Company having broken off
the agreement, concluded by moving the adoption of the
report, which was agreed to.
The directors were then appointed, and 1,2001. was
voted as a remuneration for their past services, the
same sum being also voted for the succeeding year.
Mr. Young was appointed secretary, with a salary of
4001. per annum, and a resolution was passed, autho-
rising the directors to take the necessary steps for car-
rying into effect the amalgamation :with the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Company.
Two auditors were appointed, at a salary of 201.; and,
after thanks to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned.

City of Loudon, on Thursday, the 3d day of September neat, at
Half-past Twelve for One o'clock precisely, for the purpose of deter-
mining whether the Partnership or Company formed, or intended to
be formed, shall be dissolved, and in what manner the affairs of the i
said Company shall be wound up.
As witness our hands the 21st day of August, 1846.
It W. COHEN,
lIENRY SMITH,
W. H. OXLEY,
FRANCIS PAWLE,
PREECE and EVANS.
The meeting, as it appears by the advertisement, was
intended to be a general one of the proprietors, but in
consequence of some informality in the notice, the
meeting was made only preliminary to one to be held a
week hence.
At one o'clock, the hour appointed for the meeting, a
great number of shareholders were present, and Mr. J.
F. Maubert was unanimously called to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, upon taking the chair, after ascer-
taining that none of the gentlemen of the committee of
direction or any of the provisional committee were pre-
sent, observed that there was no way of making the
wishes of the shareholders known to those gentlemen
but through the medium of the present meeting, aided
by the press.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it was due to
the whole body of railway shareholders that the present
meeting should come to some strong resolution upon the
subject on which they had met. Looking over the
prospectus of the present Company, he saw the names
of persons of the highest standing in the country, and,
considering the course that had been pursued, they
must excuse him if he said that it was something
like an attempt to induce the public to take
shares in a company by the weight of their great names,
and that when the winding up of the concern came they
were found non est inventus. By the prospectus, those
gentlemen stated that the expenses were not to exceed
10s. per share unless a public meeting was called to
sanction a greater expenditure; upon those terms the
shareholders had acted, they had paid their money, and
now they were offered 15s. per share to be returned.
He considered that the shareholders bad a right to re-
ceive a return of 21. per share, and he hoped they would
be satisfied with nothing less.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. COHEN said that be had endeavoured for months
to get something like a statement of their accounts, but
to no purpose. He had called several times at the office
of the Company for that purpose, and had always been
met by the statement that they were only waiting for
the passing of Lord Dalhousie's Act, when a statement
would be made of the state of the Company's
affairs, and a proposition made for its dissolution.
Now, what was the fact? The Bill for the Great Eastern
and Western Railway Company had been thrown out,
and yet the directors were going on from day to day
inserting expensive advertisements in the newspapers,

and squandering the money of the shareholders in every
possible way. Notwithstanding all this, the share-
holders could not get them to call any meeting, and
they were left in total darkness on the subject.—(Hear,
hear.) lie trusted the meeting would come to some
strong resolution on the subject.
The CHAIRMAN observed that the directors and com-
mittee of management proposed to return 15s. per share,
but they would not do so unless the scrip was given up
to them.—(Hear, hear.) Now what was the object of
that? Why to enable them to use it against the other
proprietors.--(Hear.) He thought they were bound
with all their might to resist such a proceeding.
Several shareholders here stated that they had called
several times at the office of the Company, and could
obtain no information with respect to the prospects of the
Company.
Mr. SPACEMAN said that the present meeting was
only preliminary to one to be held on Saturday or Mon-
day week. This course had been rendered ne-
cessary in consequence of some informality in the
notice that had been given of it. He had re-
ceived several letter:; from shareholders in the
country, stating their determination to co-operate with
the shareholders in town in their exertions for the dis-
solution of the Company. He had letters to than effect
from Barnsley, Bradford, and Newcastle. The men
who, before the passing of Lord Dalhousie's Act, said
they had not the power to dissolve the Com-
pany, were now doing all they could to pre-
vent its operation, and among them were the
managing committee of the Great Eastern and Western
Company; for after he had served the notice upon them
they were going oo spending forty or fifty thousand
pounds for the purpose of getting into their
hands a sufficient quantity of scrip to prevent the share-
holders constituting a meeting •if they called one.—
(Hear, hear.) It was a farce to say they could not bold
a meeting because Mr. Ward had sustained an irre-
parable loss. _ _ _

- A PROPRIETOR-It don't prevent his attending tho
Italian Opera.—(Laughter.)

Mr. SPACKMAN considered the course pursued by the
managing committee most disreputable.—(Flear, hear.)
Mr. BLURTON, a Worcester shareholder, said that the
proprietors in that city were determined not to accede
to the proposition of the managing committee. •
Some considerable discussion then took place, which
ended in the adoption of the following resolutions:—
"That we, the shareholders attending the meeting, hav-
ing been induced by the terms of the prospectus issued
by the Great Eastern and Western Company to become
holders of shares to a considerable amount in that
Company, upon the understanding that our lia-
bility to expenses should not exceed 10s. per
share without the sanction of a general meeting
of shareholders, and no such meeting having been called,
we hereby determine to take such steps as we may be
advised to obtain the return of 2Z per share.
" That a Committee be now formed to protect the
interests of the shareholders, and to communicate on the
mode they may deem most expedient, the result of their
inquiries, and that Messrs. Webster, Coheq, Spackman,
Smith, and Maubert, be such committeemen."

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the
meeting separated.

TRAVELLING FROM FRA. NCE TO ENGLAND.—The
service by the Northern Railroad, which will be opened
from the Ist of September, renders the intercourse be-
tween France, England, Belgium, Germany, and Swit-
zerland, greatly more easy and rapid. By the train
which leaves Paris at half-past eight in the morning,
travellers will arrive the same evening at Boulogne and
Calais, and by that which leaves Paris at seven o'clock
in the evening, will reach Boulogne and Calais at twelve
the next day, and may be in London by the dinner hour.
The same train which leaves Paris at seven in the even-
ing, arrives at Mons the next morning at twenty minutes
past seven ; at Ghent, at eight ; at Brussels, nine ; at
Antwerp, eleven; at Ostend, at a quarter•past eleven;
at Liege, at one in the afternoon; and at Cologne by
the Rhenish Railroad, at seven in the evening. Hence
the way into Switzerland is by the Rhine steamboats,
the German railroads, and that from Strasburg to
Basle.

THE LATE ROBBERY AT THE NORWICH RAIL-
WAY STATION.—Up to the departure of the last train for
London on Wednesday the perpetrators of the exten-
sive robbery of notes and gold at the Norwich station of
the Norfolk Railway on Monday, had not been taken.
From the information sent to all parts of
the country and
to Scotland-yard metropolitan police-station, it appears the
amount stolen, 8461. 9s. id., was in cheques, Bank of
England notes, gold, and silver. The property was
placed in a black leather bag, and it was stolen out of
the cashier's office. The Norfolk Railway Company
have offered a reward of 1001. for any information that
may lead to the capture of the thieves. At present the
affair appears very mysterious.
FIRE IN HOLBORN.—Wednesday evening, between
the hours of four and five o'clock, considerable alarm
was created in the neighbourhood in consequenca of the
great volume of smoke which issued from the establish-
ment of Mr. Sparrow, tea, coffee, and pepper dealer, 95,
Holborn, whose premises extend into Dean-street. The
fire originated in the wood-work at the back of the cy-
linder while coffee was being roasted. Had it not been
for the speedy arrival of two engines from the London
Fire Establishment, by which the fire was siooend extin-
guished,For-
serious injury would have been su?t an .
tunately the damage done was very
