SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY
COMPANY.—(TIIIS DAY.)
A special meeting of the shareholders in the above line
was held this day, at the Nine Elms station, Vauxhall, for
the purpose of giving their sanction to several Bills for
branch lines to be made from this line. Mr. Chaplin took
the chair at twelve o'clock.
The SECRETARY then informed the shareholders that the
present meeting was merely a formal one, to get the assent
of the shareholders to such Bills as should be laid before
them. The sanction of a large body of the shareholders had
been substantially obtained at a previous meeting, and the
present formal assent was required by the standing orders of
the House of Commons.

The CHAIRMAN said that a great number of the Bills had
already passed the Standing Orders Committee.
The SECRETARY then read the following list of Bills, and
explained the powers to be obtained in each:--
Ist. Bill for amending the Acts relating to the London
'and South-Western Railway Company, and to authorise the
said Company to enter into contracts, and to complete
arrangements with certain other railway companies.
2d. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Railway
Company to extend their railway to High-street, Southwark,

Surrey.
3d. Bill to enable tlac: London and South-Western Rail-
way Company to make a branch railway to Hampton Court-
bridge, in the county of Surrey.
4th. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail-
way Company to make a branch railway to Epsom, in the
county of Surrey.
sth. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail-
way Company to make a branch railway to Chertsey and
Egiiam, in the county of Surrey.
6th. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail-
-1 way Company to make a branch railway to Farnham, in the
county of Surrey, and Alton,_ in the county of Southampton.
7th. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail-
way Company to make a railway by Whitchurch and An-
dover to Salisbury.
Bth. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail-
way Company- to connect their Bishopstoke and Salisbury
branch, with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway,
near Salisbury.

9th. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail-
way Company to make a railway from the Bishopstoke and
Salisbury branch of the London and South-Western Rail-
way at Ramsey, to the Southampton and Dorchester Rail-
way at Redbridge, in the county of Southampton.
10th. Bill for snaking railways from Guilford to Chiches-
ter, and from Fare ;am to Portsmouth, with branches to
Petersfield, in the county of Hants, and to Chichester Har-
bour, in the county of Sussex.
11th. Bill for authorising the sale of the Guilford Junc-
tion Railway, and for enabling the purchasers to maintain
the same, and to make and maintain a railway therefrom to
Godalming, and from the London and South-Western Rail-
way at Fareham to Portsmouth.
12th. Bill for vesting the Portsmouth Extension of the
Brighton and Chichester Railway in the London and South-

solution empowering the Secretary to affix the seal of the
Company to them, the meeting separated.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A young man applied to Mr. Jardine for advice under
these circumstances. lie had been apprenticed to a printer
for some time, and had been working lately tii• another
printer, to whom he had not been regularly "'turned over,"
but who had possession of his indentures. He wanted to
leave this person, and had frequently demanded hisinden-
tures, but his employer refused to give them up.
Mr. JARDINE said that the transfer of an apprentice, ex-
Cept by the ordinary mode of turning over, was not legal„'
and the applicant was not bound by it. He could leave his
present employer any time he liked, and his indentures
would not bind him to serve any master but the one he had
covenanted with.

The applicant attic(' if his original master could obtain the
Indentures from the person who now held them?
Mr. JARPINE said that he could if he liked.

ALTF.RATIONS IN THE ROYAL NAVAL UNIFORMS.—The
alterations in the royal naval uniforms have been decided
on, and her Majesty, on having them submitted to her by
the Admiralty, has been pleased to signify her approval of
the same. 'they will be promulgated in a few days, and
among them, we have reason to believe, will be the fol-
lowing :—Admirals, captains, commanders, lieutenants,
masters, mates, and second' masters will have devices of
silver embroidery, whilst the medical officers and secreta-
ries will have gold embroidered devices. Full admirals, it
is said, will have for devices on their epaulettes a sword
and baton, and three stars; vice •admirahs, the same, with
two stars; and rear-admirals, the same, with only one star.
The senior post captains are to have a star on their epau-
lettes; captains of less than three years' standing the star,
crown, and anchor; commanders, the crown and anchor;
lieutenants, the anchor; master with two epaulettes, the de-
vice of crossed anchors ; mates, one epaulette, with the
device of an anchor wrought on it ; second masters, one
epalette with the device of crossed anchors. The head of
the medical department, epaulettes with the device' of a
crown worked in gold. ' Inspectors and deputy medical in-
speetoi a, and admirals' secretaries, two epaulettes Wit the
device of a crown wrought in gold, the bullion to distinguish
the grades. Surgeons and pursers, two plain epaulettes
each ; 'and assistant surgeons, one plain epatil:4te. Ihe great
coat will be of uniform shape ; straps the devices for
each rank worked on the shoulder, O's:noting the grade. The
cap will have, in addition to the, gold band, a crown over it.
These, it is understood ill Well-Informed circles, are to be as
nearly as possible the Elteracions in the naval uniform, but
the different FlaSSee of officers will be more plainly denoted
by tivo positions of the buttons on the coats.
THE BELLlaornox.—The Bellerophon took in her pow-
der at Spithead on Thursday morning, the boy having been
towed out by the Rocket. The Redney's crew were em-
ployed on Thursday and Friday in putting everything " ship-
shape" on board their new ship, but enters arrived yesterday
for the Bellerophon to go into harbour; consequently the
powder was again got out, and at noon she was towed in
by the Echo. As she passed the platform, where a number
of persons had congregated, she was much admired for her
orderly appearance—masts standing well, ropes all taut,
and altogether looking as though she had been in commis-
sion twelve months. She is to dismantle, and return her
stores and provisions, which work will, it is' said, be com-
men&d to-day, and report says that the ship's company of
the Rodney will receive the thanks of the Admiralty, and
fourteen days' pay, and richly dothey deserve it. In our re-
port on Wednesday, on the 'fitting out of this ship, we have
to regret that we omitted to pay the tribute due to the
officers and men of Portsmouth Dockyard, to whom the ex-
pedition of her fit out is in a great measure owing, and who
so ably seconded the exertions made by the Rodney's crew.
The yard men had the lower rigging to fit and get ready to
go over the mast-heads, to rig the lower yards before they
were crossed, and to gammon the bowsprit. 'the expedi-
tious way in which all the ship's furniture and stores were
issued and brought down to the ship gave infinite satisfac-
tion to the executives of the Rodney, everything was so
well arranged that not a moment's delay occurred; this
may be entirely attributed to the good management and
method pursued throughout by Mr. Purdoe and Mr. Brown,
the active and intelligent masters attendant at the dockyard.
In the fitting vut the Bellerophon we observed that the

most tedious operation was the eammoning and the clothing
of the bowsprit ; it threw all the other part of the rigging
back : in consequence of the seamen in clothing the bow-
sprit having to stand on slung stages, not many hands can
be placed on this work. We see no good reason why every
" advanced ship" that has her bowsprit in should not have

it gammoned. The gammoning is chain, which would not
much deteriorate by lying up exposed to weather; it might,
however, be easily protected from wet. The bOstays and
collars should, we think, always be kept ready for gang on,
which would much expedite the rigging of the advanced
ships when brought forward at short notice.
PLYMOUTH, MARCH 12.—Her Majesty's ship Calcutta, 84,
was this morning towed down the harbour from Hamoaze by
the Confiance and another steam-tug,just arrived from Ports..
mouth. At two o'clock P.M. she came to anchor in Plymouth
Sound, and, immediately the steamers left her, saluted the
flag of Port-Admiral Sir John West. The Calcutta was
on Saturday last, the 7th instant, quietly lying at her
moorings in Hamoaze, with the other ships in ordinary.
On Monday, the 9th, Captain N. Lockyer, of the
Albion, received orders from the Admiralty to fit her out
with all expedition. At that time she had her three lower
masts and bowsprit in, and water-tanks on board; by the
evening her lower yards were hoisted. On Tuesday morning
her top-gallant masts were up, and yards across ; in the
afternoon she took in her cables and dockyard stores, guns,
victualling stores, and water. This (Thursday) morning her
studdingsail gear was rove, and she is now ready for sea.
The discipline end alacrity of the officers and crew of the
Albion has, in the fitting of the Calcutta, been exemplified
in a manner most creditable to themselves and highly gra-
tifying to their commander, Captain Lockyer. During the
progress of the work the men observed the most quiet atten-
tion to their duties; they laboured two hours extra daily,
and have taken their dinners on board. It is said that a bet
of 2001. has been made dependent on the superior expedition
used in fitting the Bellerophon at Portsmouth, or the Cal-
cutta at Plymouth.
SHEERNESS, THURSDAY.—The ordnance works going on
here are progressing favourably. The contract is in the hands
of active and enterprising practical men, whose object, from all
we can see and learn, is to execute the work well, if not with
dispatch. The new battery opposite the ;dockyard-gate has
its platform levelled, the north bank of the ditch to protect it
on the sea view is well-nigh completed, and the brick mus-
ketiy wall to flank it on the west, and connect it with the old
fortifications at Garrison-point, is now in the course of erection.
Another battery to the eastward, to which this is to be con.

nected by another musketry-wall, has just been commenced ;
it will be continued into the bastions extending from the
_ _

Thames to the Medway. Profiles have recently seen set up
on the Mile-town side of these fortifications for a line of
bastions to protect the drawbridge, by means of which alone
will there be communication by land either with Blue-town
or the dockyard, for when all is finished they will be com-
pletely insulated. Three pattern traversing-platforms with
their gun-carriages mounted, have recently arrived from
Woolwich, and workmen are now proceeding to fit the
masonry, at the several places marked for guns on the old
works at Garrison-point, to receive them. The platfot ms
are 16 feet it length by 41 feet in breadth, and, with the
gun-carriages mounted, from 6to 8 feet in height. They
are composed of massive beams of fir strongly jointed ; those
for the 56- pounder guns are of African oak. Forward they
will be connected by an iron pivot fixed in the ground close
to the parapet, while aft they will traverse the masonry
grooved to receive their wheels in a semicircle. The guns
will be fired over the parapet, and can thus be pointed in any
direction. They will recoil on the platform on which they
are fitted, and it has been proved will not in the least dis-
turb the small pivot to which the massive platforms are
secured. They have been well denominated a one-gun-
battery," since one gun thus mounted forms a battery in
itself.

WOOLWICH, MARCH 13.—The war schooner Adder, Lieu-
tenant Knollaert commander, belonging to his Majesty the
King of the Netherlands, left Flushing on the 6th inst., and,
after touching at Sheerness and Chatham to afford the offi-
cers on board an opportunity of visiting these dockyards,
came up the river yesterday to Woolwich, and now lies at
moorings off the deckyard. At half-past ten o'clock this
morning nine officers landed from the Adder, and were con-
ducted over the dockyard by Commodore Sir Francis A.
Collier, C.B. and K.C.H., and Commander Smith. On en-
tering the factory they appeared surprised to witness the
extent of the building and the powerful nature and beautiful
workmanship of the machinery performing its various duties.
On leaving the foundry they were conducted to the Royal
Albert first-class ship-of-war, of 120 guns, bunging from a
design by Mr. Lang, and on entering and descending
to the bottom of that splendid vessel, appeared astonished at
her great magnitude, and the height of the frame timbers.
The Dutch officers remained a considerable time in
the interior of the vessel, walking from end to end, and ad-
miring the strong and massive timbers, and the substantial
manner in which they are joined to each other. They then
proceeded to the Terrible war steamer, and were conducted
over that vessel by Captain Ramsay, her commander. The
power of her guns and the magnitude of the machinery on
board excited their admiration, and they expressed them-
selves greatly pleased with all they witnessed in this fine
vessel. They also visited the mast-house, the new docks,
and saw• mill, and the blacksmiths' shop.
The crew of the Swallow steam vessel, Master Commander
Sherlock, will be paid off on Tuesday next, and, with her
officers, be transferred to the Violet steam-vessel, and pro-
ceed to Dover to resume their duties at the packet station.
The Adventure transport-ship arrived at Woolwich on
Wednesday, and will leave for Portsmouth to-morrow.
The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jen-
kins, was tried down the river yesterday, and will leave to-
morrow.
Letters have been received from the Lizard steam-vessel.
sister to the Myrmidon, at-present on her passage to South
America. They are dated St. Jago, Cape de Verde Islands,
Feb. 1, 1846, where she arrived in 24 days from England,
having experienced very heavy gales for about a week before
she arrived at Madeira. The steaming qualities of the ves-
sel are described as being very good, and she is much ad-
mired by nautical men. The engines work remarkably well,
and 'one float at the extremity instead of two reefed was
found to be best. The Lizard has been found an excellent
sea-boat, as she ran within 250 miles of Madeira in five days
and then had to put her fires out, and yet she beat the Endy-
mion frigate by two days from Falmouth to Madeira. When
the vials of the Lizard ran short, the floats were taken off,
and she rode like a duck under storm, trysails never taking
a drop of water on board ; but she does not sail well on a
wind, only two knots and a half per hour, and five knots be-
fore it. She is to proceed to Ascension or St. Salvador fcr
coals, there being only about twenty tons at St. Jago, ten of
which an American -frigate had kindly lent to the Govern-
ment.
