thrive, you must feel that the result obtained is very satis-
factory. I will not go into the traffic figures of other lines;
but any gentleman may compare for himself their traffic, as
given officially, with our own. What will be the state of
the Brighton traffic when prosperous times have returned,
and the whole of the traffic from 'Weymouth, in Dorsetshire,
on the one side, and Hastings on the other, is developed,
when such is the traffic under the present state of depres-
Eon ? Having made these observations, I have to request,
in conclusion, that any proprietor will put to me any ques-
tion that he pleases, and to assure you that I will answer it,
if by so doing I should not compromise the interest of this
oompany. I know of no question but one which should be
avoided on that ground. Ido hope that if any proprietor has
anything to urge against the directors, individually or col-
lectively, he will have the manliness to do it here ; and I
shall be ready to give him an answer.
Mr. CROWLEY (a director) seconded the motion.
Mr. LEVY begged topropose that the cordial thanks of the
proprietors be given to the chairman and his colleagues.
The motion was carried by acclamation.
The CIIAMMAN returned thanks, and the meeting then
broke up.

TIM NEW NOVEL,

"A novel abounding in interest, in eloquence of feeling, and in

" The object of this work is to show how much of happiness
pends on self-dlscipline. It cannot tail to place the authoress in the
first rank of female novelists. It contains passages of great beauty
and pathos, evidently written by one who thinks much and feels
deeply, and itnpro.ises us with a high Lica of the talent of the author."
