AT a numerous Meeting of Shareholders of the
EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY, held at
the London Tavern, liishopsgate-street, the 15th day of March, 1851,
George Hammond Whalley, Esq., in the Chair,
It was resolved unanimously,
Thal it having come to the knowledge
in nomination of this meeting
as thaa
t
Me. David Waddingten is to be put
Director of this Company, at a meeting to be held on
the lath inst., fokd that he is making great efforts to secure his
election, this meeting feels called upon to declare its opinion that
hls election woil.`l be disasteolis to the prospects of the company, for
the following reason:!-
1. That Mr. Wadding ton having. fNirt 1845 to 1844, had the
artment of the ItuilwaY, either adopted
tatement of the traftte account to
ce permitted a systematic mis-: .. of, the Committee a wesq.
th, "mount, as appears by the Repoi..
gallon, a upwards of 113,0001. ; "for in the words of the
uee and which every
Report, " It is impossible to conceive any exe,
right-minded person must indignantly condemn."
2. That Mr. Waddington being thus identified with so.
railway management, and also with other cireumstances
in the said Report, his election would prevent the revival of pt.
confidence, as well in the published accounts as in the private
management of the Company.
3. That, whether justly or not, Mr. Waddington being thus
known, his election would be a declaration that the sy.,tem so adopted
or permitted by him was justifiable, and must consequently perpe-
tuate ant increase want of confidence on the part or the public ;
it being impossible that so vast an enterprise es the Eastern Coml.
tiee Railway conld continue to °List in defiance of the recognised
principles of commercial character.
It was resolved unanimously,
That this meeting therefore feels justified in making an earnest
appeal to their fellow-Shareholders to attend the meeting on the 18th.
inst., in order to uphold the character and protect the interests of the
Company.

It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be aP-
preached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
"Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable , as
security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Oface will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk'may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments, as regardi tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire aro effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.

CLAPHAM-COMMON CONVENT.
During the last mouth considerable excitement has
prevailed at Clapham, under the following circum-
stances:—ln Bedford-lane, Clapham-common, is a con-
vent. As in similar Roman Catholic nunneries, young
ladies of that persuasion are educated there in the ac-
complishments imparted at all boarding-schools. About
six weeks ago it was rumoured that one of the nuns had n
been taken in premature labour, and that a surgeon i
the confidence of the sisterhood was called out of his
bed to attend the accouchement. This rumour, as it
rolled along, augmented like a snowball, and a frigid
silence on the part of those who had it in their power to
dissolve it, when applied to by several Protestant gentle-
mon of standing, was taken as a tacit admission of the
truth of the Allegation; and there being a large number
of the higher class lady boarding-schools in the neigh-
bourhood, the scandal engendered an excitement that at
last, from its intensity, led to an inquiry acquiesced in
by the spiritual adv!sers of the parties impugned.
There is attached to the chapel of the convent a lay
committee of ladies, whose duties are to visit the Catholic
.poor of the district, and administer such relief and eon-
olation as the circumstances of the- distressed might
warrant. In one of these visitations a lady (Miss B.)
had her attention directed to a young woman, residing
within a few doors of the convent, as a stranger to the
neighbourhood, and who had been noticed for her fre-
quent outbursts of grief as well as being in an advanced
state of pregnancy. Miss B. waited upon her, and
learned her history. She was of respectable family, and
had left her home to save her friends the shame of her
indiscretion, and knew not a soul in the metropolis, but
was amply provided with funds. Miss B. proffered to
make arrangements for her accouchement' and the young
woman gratefully accepted her services. The medical
man was accordingly engaged, and the whole case of the
patient, family connexion, and other circumstances, re-
lated to him in confidence, and out of regard to the feel-
ings of the unhappy woman, who enjoined secrecy in the
matter. In a few days, and at midnight, the surgeon was
sent for by a messenger from the convent, directing
him to an immediate attendance upon his patient. The
messenger gave the instructions to the medical man's boy,
and he—knowing the applicant to bo a servant at the
nunnery—magnified the matter, and it would appear not
wilfully, but mistakenly, into the certainty that his mas-
ter had to attend a labour at the convent. This, it is
now proved, was the basis of the allegation, and the
mystery attending the case, arising out of the young
person's anxious desire that her family might be spared
the disgrace consequent upon exposure, fortified those
who were for some weeks refused anything like an ex-
planation, in behrhinnagetnhtatan accouchement had taken
place in the establishment, notwithstanding the positive
denial of such being the fact by the medical man, himself
a member of the Church of England, and at the head of
the profession in the locality. The result was that the
young lady, for such by her education and family she
really is, became the mother of a healthy boy, and when
convalescent, expressed a wish to become a convert to
the Church of Rome, and several times waited upon the
clergyman of the chapel, the Rev. Father De Held, for
that purpose. At the earnest request, however, of Miss
8., a communication was made with the young lady's
family, and a complete reconciliation was effected, and
expedited, by the repugnance of the parents to their
daughter embracing the Roman Catholic faith, she being
in reality of the Protestant Church. Such are the par-
ticulars of a case, which, if at once explained, would
have spared much scandal.—Weekly Dispatch.

The poor-rates of the parish of Shepton Mallet are
not more than one-third the amount they were about four
years since ; and there are not sufficient able-bodied paupers
in the union house to do the work of the house.—Sherborne
Journal.

Mr. Wilimero conduct©d the prosecution; the prisoners
were undefended.
This was a very aggravated case of highway robbery.
The prosecutor was an old man living at Hanley, in this
county. On the evening in question ho had been to
Gadless, and was at a public house, where he intended to
sleep, when the two prisoners and another man named
Chadburn came in. The men being well known to the
prosecutor a conversation between them took place, in
the course of which the prosecutor informed them of his
intention to stay where he was
.all night. Harrison there-
upon said that he was going his way, and could accom-
pany him on the road, and the old man gave up his in-
tention of staying, and left the house with Harrison.
Rippon and Chadburn followed until they came to a lane
which branched off from the main road. There Rippon
and Chedhnrn kept back, and Ihrrison and the old man
proceeded down the lane. Wben they had gone some
distance they were suddenly. attacked by two men, who
rushed from the hedge, and had large stakes in their
hands. One of them had a haedkerchief over hie face,
but the prosecutor swore that ttut man was. Rippon, and
that he knocked nun (the prosecutor) down with a stick,
Harrison assisted the men in Tabbing the old wan and
inflicting upon him a most ullmereifill beating. They
took his shoes off
his feet, twisted his neckerchief round
his throat so as nearly to sufbcate him, and left him
bicedin and exhausted. At about half-past four o'clock
in the morning the occupant of a neighbouring cottage
heard a scratching noise at his door, upon opening which
he found the poor old man, who bad succeeded in crawl-
ing there, but was apparently almost dead. Other cir-
cumstances were given in evidence, to connect the pei•
soners with the commission of this violent outrage', and
Chadburn was also identified
by the prosecutor, but the
police have not as yet succeeded in apprehending him.
The old man has not yet reaolere4
from the effect of the
injuries which he received on that night, and gave his
evidence with considerable difficulty.
The Learned JuncE summed up the evidence, and

The jury found the prisoners Guilty.
John Battye, aged 34, was indicted for feloniously
transportation for life..
They were sentenced to tr

(Before Ur. Justice COLERIDGE.) _

Joseph linrst and John Taylor, both out On bail, ware
.ndicted for a rape.
Mr. Willmore prosecuted; Mr. Sergeant Miller de-
'ended Hurst; Mr. Denison defended Turner.

The prosecutrix spoke to the circumstances of the
felonious assault upon her, and described it as having
been committed by four mea in the most violent and
determined manner. There vvere, however, features of
great improbability about her story, and the csso was
soon disposed of by a verdict of Not guilty.
George Damns, aged 59, was indicted for feloniously
abusing a little girl under twelve years of ago.
Mr. Barker conducted the prosecution; Mr. Sergeant
Miller the defence.
The statement of the prisoner was that what he had
done was done with the child's consent; erroneously
supposing, in all probability, tllat that was a defence to
the charge.
The jury, however, returned a verdict of Guilty;
And ho was sentenced to two years' imprisonment
with hard labour.

James Dowd, aged 27, MS indicted far a rape upon
Maria Hough.
Mr. Denison prosecuted; Mr. Flowers defended the
prisoner.
The prosecutrix in this case was no less than sixty-
five years old, but her accobat of the matter was a con-
sistent and credible one. very recently after the occur-
rence she had made comPhint of the wrong which she
had suffered, and the truth of the charge appeared free
from any reasonable doubt.
The jury convicted the prisoner, and he was trans-
p ortcd for fifteen years.

CROWN COURT.—(l4efore Mr. Baron PLATE.)
Daniel Sutherland, 40, *as charged with having, on
the 18th of January last, at
Bramham, committed a fe-
lonious assault on Martha
Mr. Campbell Foster Posecuted ; Mr. Overend de-
fended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner is a hawker, and resides
at Clifford, near Bramham, The prosecutrix
sherose iscutrix is a mar-
ried woman, residing at Bpcunyoung and
extremely gocd looking, a4d has been married about
three years. Her husband is a farm labourer, and is
absent from home all day attending to his work. For
some days previous to the 18th of January the prosecu-
trix had been very unwell, and
About seven o'clock at night was so on this day.
she went to a neighbour's
house to procure some laudeeam
• On returning a short
time afterwards she found 010 prisoner sitting in a chair
near the fire. Ile got up and
asked the prosecutrix
what she had her shawl on fer—was she poorly? She an-
swered that she had been unwell for some days. He
then said that he had some shoes which he was desirous
of selling to her husband, v'heu the prosecutrix replied
that he aas not in want of anything of the kind. The
prisoner inquired what time her husband would be at
home, and the prosecutrix acid she expected him at nine
o'clock. Immediately after this the prisoner commenced
a series of indecent observations to the prosecutrix, who
consequently ordered him to leave the house. Instead
of this the prisoner locked tile door and then seized the
prosecutrix, whose person he eventuallysucceeded in vio-
lating. She became insensible, and on recovering found
herself alone seated in a chair.,
The prosecutrix underwent a long and severe cross-
examination, in the course of which it appeared that
when seven years old she bad been criminally assaulted
by a person named Hebblethsvaite, who had been tried
for the offence, and that when thirteen years of ago she
had been similarly assaulted it a harvest field by a man
named Metcalf, who had subsequently made an apology
to her father, and the matter was thus settled. She po-
stively denied that she had made such a charge against
any other person.
The good looks and extremely modest demeanour of
the prosecutrix, who appeared to be occasionally much
distressed whilst under examination, had created a
strong impression in her favour, and her testimony had
not been in the least shaken, when tOwatels the close of
the case a note was handed from the gallery to tho
Learned Counsel for the prisoner, who asked permission
from his Lordship to have the prosecutrix recalled. On
her entering the witness-box,
Mr. OVRREND inquired if she had ever been in the ser-
vice of Mr. Darby, in York? s
The prosecutrix answered she had been three days at
his house, but did not en ga g
note as herervant.
Mr. OVEREND.—Did you ge his son with at-
tempting to commit a rape upon you?
Witness—No, Sir.
Mr. OVEREND—NOW, I warn You Mr. Darby is in
the gallery, and hears you. I ask you, upon your so-
lemn oath, did you not charge Mr. Darby's son with
attempting to commit a rape upon you?
Witness (hesitatingly)—Yes.
Mr. Baron PLATT (to the jury)—After that, gentle-
men, do you think it safe to rely oa that woman's tes-
timony?
The jury, after consulting a short time, said they did
not believe the witness.
Mr. FOSTER—Then of course I shall not proceed fur-
ther with the prosecution.
An Acquittal was then taken, and the prisoner was
ordered to be immediately discharged.
Mr. OVEREND stated that a note had been sent to
him by Mr. Darby, who happened to be sitting in the
gallery and heard the trial, and that until he had the
moment before received that note he was not aware that
she had made this accusation against Mr. Darby's son.
This is a striking instance of the value of oral exa-
minations in open court.
March 15.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
George Graham was indicted for having committed a
rape at Leeds, on the 12th of February last, on the wife
of Thomas Greenwood.
Mr. Hall and Mr. Wheelhouse prosecuted; and Mr.
Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Seymour defended the
prisoner.
The prisoner it appeared was a married man, and was
a maker of washing machines, carrying on business in
Meadow-lane, Leeds, and on the 12th of last February
the prosecutrix went to his dice to obtain payment of
an account, when the prisoner locked his office door, and
telling the prosecutrix that he would settle the account
if she would let him " cuddle" her, at which proposal—
according to her statement, she expressed much indigna-
tion—he threw her down, and in spite of her resistance
ravished her.
The case having been gone through,
Mr. Sergeant Wudwis called his Lordship's attention

,~,.,_. ~

Mr. WnEELnousE—Yea, my Lord, they arc here.
His Loansuw—Why and wherefore, for the investi-
gation of truth and justice, they were not called, I am
at tt loss to discover, and no explanation has boen offered.
It is a most scandalous proceeding, if witnesses are
bound over for the prosecution, not to take them before
the grand jury, but to call those who may criminate a
man, and not bring forward those who may tend to
exculpate him. Four duty is to find out the truth, and
I must own this ease does not appear to me to have been
conducted in a way proper for that purpose.
Mr. BOOTHBY, who held Mr. Hall's brief, wished to
state to his Lordship that the witnesses b'Jund over and
not called had been witnesses called by the prisoner, but
that in accordance with the practice at Leeds, in favour
of the prisoner, they had been bound giver at the county's
expense to give evidence for the ptisoner if he chose to
call them.

His LORDSHIP—That makes the matter still worse.
That nine witnesses brought here at the county's expense
should be left out, in order to compel the prisoner to'call
them for the purpose of giving the prosecution a reply,
is a moat scandalous proceeding.
His LORDSHIP then proceeded to sum up the evidence,
at the close of which

Mr. HALL entered the court and attempted to address
his Lordship. His Lordship, however, refused to hear
more of the matter. He had heard Mr. Boothby, who
held Mr. Hall's brief in his absence, and he had no further
right to be heard.
The jury Acquitted the prisoner.
The rest of the day was occupied with a long and un-
interesting trial for perjury.
The Nisi Prius Court was occupied the whole day with
a new trial respecting a cargo of wheat from Odessa,
which did not arrive in condition and quality accord-
ing to contract, the details of which were wholly un-
interesting,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
On Saturday Clement Robert Mowiray, alias R. W.
Relates, was re-examined on a charge of having uttered
a forged bill of exchange for 441.105.
Evidence was given at the first examination that the
prisoner had passed the bill in the purchase of a hogs-
head of sherry and a pipe of port from Mr. Edwards, of
Harp-lane, wine-merchant, on the representation that
the wine was for Mr. Richards, wine and spirit dealer,
Woolwich; and a few days afterwards he called upon
Mr. Edwards, and produced the bill in question, drawn
by R. M. Holmes, and accepted by W. Hallows, wine
and spirit merchant, Woolwich.
Mr. Richards proved that the warrant for the wine
was received from the prisoner for a debt, and denied
that he knew a person named Hallows.
The additional evidence given yesterday was as fol-
lows:
Mr. Joseph G. Salter, of Brixton, said, I have been in
the prisoner's employment, and know his handwriting.
I believe the body of the bill for 44/. los. produced to
be his writing, and that the names "It. M. Holmes and
Co." are also in his writing.
Cross-examined by the prisoner's solicitor—l was
nearly three months in the prisoner's service, and have
had frequent opportunities of seeing him write. I do
not know anything of the writing by "the acceptors."
Mr. J. Orton, clerk to Mr. Vickers, wine-merchant, of
Trinity-square, said, I have known the prisoner about 14
years, and have during that time known him by the
name of Clement Robert Mowbray. I have never known
him by any other name until the time of the present
transaction. He was in the employment of Mr. Vickers.
I know that his name is not Holmes.
Mr. Hunt, ledgerkeeper at the London and County
Bank, proved that no person of the name of William
Hallows had kept an account at that bank.
The LORD MAYOR then asked the prisoner in the
usual form whether ho wished to say anything? The
prisoner suidp be left the case entirely in his solicitor's
hands.
The sof . applied to have his client admitted to
bail. -rn
The afAirou refused to take bail, and said they
must apply to a judge.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
GUILDHALL.
Charles Henry Gray was charged with obtaining a
bill of exchange for 127/. 10s. under false pretences.
From the evidence of Mr. Blaxland it appeared that
the prisoner had represented himself as being the son-
in-law of Colonel Hawker; that he had 5001. worth of
hams in the dock; that he had a banking account and a
discount account to the extent of 1,0001. at the British
Bank; that he had 5001. per annum with his wife and
was a man of property; that upon these representations
Mr. Blaxland had intrusted him with a bill to be dis-
counted. le had received some part of the money, but
there was still 601. due, and for some time past he had
not been able to find the prisoner.
For the defendant it was contended that this was an
ordinary business transaction, in which the prosecutor
had drawn a bill and given it to the prisoner to get dis-
counted; that the prisoner had been unable to do so, and
he now offered to give up the bill.
Mr. Alderman WIRE said, as the prisoner had not
proved the several pretences which he had asserted to
be true, he should accede to the application on the part
of the prosecution, that the prisoner should be re-
manded for a week, but he would admit him to bail in
two sureties of 250/. each, and in his own recognizance
of 5001.
Samuel Duehesne was charged with having thrown his
wife out of window on the third floor of a house in Three
Tons.court, Red Cross-street.
A policeman deposed that he had heard the screams of
a woman in the above court, and upon looking up saw the
prisoner holding his wife out of window by the hand.
Ho immediately ran up stairs, but the prisoner before he
got to the room dropped the woman into the street, and
then quietly turned away and began smoking his
pipe. There were two other men in :the room at the
time, who offered no assistance to prevent the
prisoner from doing it. The prisoner and his wife had
lived a very dissipated life. The woman was taken to
the hospital. She had sustained no very serious injury.
She was intoxicated, but in other respects quite sensible,
and would be able to appear in about a week.
The prisoner was therefore remanded.
BOTV-STRE ET.
The two men, Benjamin Lovett and Alexander Ward-
rope, who were last Saturday charged on suspicion of
breaking into the premises of Mr. Meakin, tinworker,
Lemon Tree-yard, Bedfordbury, and stealing a quantity
of saucepans, were on Saturday morning brought up for
re-examination before Mr. Henry.
Frederick Dibon, an apprentice of Mr. Meakin's,
proved shutting up the premises on Thursday evening,
the 6th inst., at about nine o'clock, and said that on his
going to the warehouse on the following morning he
found the window-frame and several squares of glass
broken. Upon going inside ho found the counting-house
door broken open. Ho immediately went to the private
residence of his master, and informed him of what had
occurred. There were some saucepans like those pro-
duced in the workshop on Thursday evening.
Mr. Meakin corroborated these facts, and identified the
saucepans by the private mark on them, which ex:lday
corresponded with his stamp.
Mr. Smith, broker, of 21, Lumber-court, St. Mlartin's-.
lane, stated that on Thursday evening week the prisoners
came to his shop and brought eight of the saucepans
produced with them. They offered them for sale, and
he bought them for Is. each.
Sergeant Corr, F division, proved taking the prisoners
into custody, and stated that Wardrope had been pre-
viously convicted for stealing copper.
Both the prisoners denied the charge, and were fully
committed to take their trial at the Central Criminal
Court.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mrs. Jane Moore, an elegantly-dressed woman, was
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having as-
aulted Captain William Cookson, of 1, Sackville-street,
Piccadilly.
The complainant said, he was walking in Hyde-park
about five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, when he saw
the defendant in a brougham. In order to avoid her he
walked across the grass, but ho soon discovered ho was
followed, by being struck over the arm and head with
the muff carried by the defendant. This was the assault
complained of. In reply to questions, the complainant
gave no explanation of the cause of the assault. Ho ad-
mitted he was not hurt by the assault, and that though
the defendant threatened his life he did not go in any
bodily fear of her. It was the indignity of being assailed
in the park, and in the presence of persons who knew
him, that he most complained of. A great crowd was
collected in consequence of the affair.
The defendant said, that having become acquainted
with the fact of her having acted contrary to law in
doing what she had done, she most sincerely regretted
the circumstance; but as far as the complainant was
concerned, she felt no compunction for her conduct. It
was through him that a sister—a fine, young, well-edu-
cated girl, about to be married to a respectable trades-
man—was thrown upon her hands. The complainant
took advantage of her sister being in a house by herself,
and forcibly violated her. Her screams were heard in
the adjoining house.
The complainant in a low tone of voice hero remarked
that the defendant kept a house of ill-fame.
Mr. HARDWICK told the defendant that whatever
might bo the injury she had sustained through the com-
plainant, or whatever the cause of complaint against

Ann Marshall, a low, dirty looking woman was
charged with the following gross misconduct and savage
assault:—

Eliza Underwood, owner of the Prince of Wales pub-
lic-house, Princes-street, Westminster, stated that on
the previous evening defendant entered his house and
conducted herself in a most offensive manner to some
customers quietly seated in the taproom; that be told
her to leave the house; she refused, and ho ordered his
waiter to put her out, when she abused him with filthy
and disgusting language, and commenced casting hand-
fuls of mud and filth into the bar; and on his calling a
policeman and going ont in the street to give her in
charge she seised him violently by the hair, and to
raising his hand to loosen her hold she grasped it firmly
and bit his thumb in two.

Policeman Davis, 201 A, corroborated part of the
complainant's evidence, and said the defendant resisted
violently, and appeared to have been drinking freely.
Complainant said, she had had no liquor at his house.
Defendant said she was drunk, and had been roughly
treated.

Mr. BURRELL said, the assault was a most savage ono
and fined the defendant in the full penalty of 5L a.,; in
default committed her for two months to the House of
Correction.

SOUTH YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.
The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this company
was held at the London Tavern on Friday, for the pur-
pose of considering the proposition for leasing the line
to the Great Northern Railway Company; Earl Fits-
william in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the proposed arrangement,
which stated that a working agreement on the following
basis should be immediately executed between the two
companies for 21 years, and that application should be
made immediately to Parliament, as soon as the rules of
the House would allow, for an amalgamation of the two
companies :—That the Great Northern Company should
take the South Yorkshire Railway, with all its engage-
ments and liabilities, including the navigation and canals,
&c., as well as the southern portion of the Sheffield and
Wakefield line, and after paying all liabilities, as well as
all working charges, maintenance, and every other ex-
pense, should pay a dividend upon the whole paid-up
capital of the South Yorkshire Company, varying in
amount according to the mineral traffic, that is to say, 3
per cent. as the minimum dividend, and an additional
per cent. for every 50,000 tons of coal received on the
Great Northern Railway beyond the first 200,000 tons
(being the quantity at present carried) until 800,000 tons
were carried and 6 per cent. dividend was paid, after
which no rise of dividend was to take place; the di-
vidend to be paid half-yearly, and never to recede from
any rate once attained up to 4i per cent., although the
traffic might decrease; but between 4i and 6 per cent.
the rate would rise and fall with the amount of mineral
traffic carried over the line; and that a four per cent.
permanent stock be offered to the River Dun proprietors,
and such of the South Yorkshire shareholders as might
prefer to accept it.
The eIIAIRMAN said he wished to know whether any
of the proprietors desired any explanation with regard
to the terms of the arrangement?
Mr. ANDERTON said, he considered the matter very
obscure. He perceived by the directors' report of Fe-
bruary, 1848, that they were enabled to give 7 per cent.
for money in advance of calls, and he wished to know
how that could be done in 1848, when they were now
required to take 3 per cent. on the carriage of 200,000
tons of coals? They also stated that the prospects of the
line were superior to those of any other line in the
kingdom, and that from the traffic on the River Dun
they could give 6 per cent. on the capital expended on
the line, and a dividend of 5 per cent. was declared. At
the next half-yearly meeting a dividend at the rate of 6
per cent. per annum was declared—such dividend to be
paid one month after the amalgamation of the railway
and River Dim Company. At the February meeting
in 1841) the profits on the River Dun were stated to
be 16,642/.. out of which a dividend at the rate of
6 per cent. was declared, absorbing 5,500/. At the half-
yearly meeting in February, 1850, it was stated that the
line from Doncaster to Swinton had been opened, and
an arrangement entered into with the Midland Company
for working it—that company paying to this company 75
per cent. of the receipts. They were also told that
everything had been done to complete the amalgama-
tion, and they only waited for the Commissioners' certi-
ficate to do so, when the deferred dividends would be
paid, and a further deferred dividend, at the rate of 6 per
cent., out of the balance of 10,5751., would be paid.—
(Hear, hear.) He could not reconcile these statements
with the proposition now made to take 3 per cent. from
the Great Northern for carrying 200,000 tons of coals
over the lino.—(Hear, hear.)
The motion for the confirmation of the agreement was
then submitted to the meeting, when
Lord WHARNCL IFFE, in reply to the observations of
Mr. Anderton, contended that the proposed agreement
was consistent with all that had been mentioned in pre-
vious reports. He thought that a certain dividend, be-
ginning at 3 per cent., and ranging as the traffic in-
creased to 6 per cent., was a fair proposition, and might
be accepted. He would ask how many lines were pay-
ing 41- per cent., or even 3. per cent.? for, if they took
the average of all the railways in the kingdom, they
would find it to be about 2i per cent.
A long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Fisher, Mr.
Baxter, and Mr. J. Wilson took part, in the course of
which Mr. Anderton moved an amendment to the
effect—
" That the further consideration of the subject bo
adjourned, in the hopes that in the meantime the direc-
tors may enter into a more equitable arrangement with
the Great Northern or some other company."
Mr. Fisher seconded the amendment, which was put
and carried by a very large majority.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.

CHESTER&HOLYHEAD RAILWAY
The report of the directors to be submitted to the
shareholders to-morrow states, that on comparing the
accounts for the past half-year with those for the half-
year ending December 31, 1849, a reduction in the work-
ing expanses is shown of 3,7891., while the gross re-
ceipts have been increased by 14,6561., making a total
increase of 18,4461. The arrangement made with the
London and North-Western Company and with the City
of Dublin Steam Packet Company will enable the di-
rectors to effect a reduction of expenditure sufficient
to furnish means for conducting a very large in-
crease of traffic with scarcely any additional expense.
Under the arrangement in question the efficacy
of the present packet service will be completely
maintained; and the City of Dublin Company engage,
in common with the London and North-Western Com-
pany, to exert all their influence to bring the whole
of the traffic to and from Ireland upon the lino of this
company. The profit on the operations, to the close of
the half-year ending 31st of December last, leaves a
balance of 40,4841., after paying the interest due on the
debenture debt; and the increase of the traffic during
the present half-year justifies the directors in expressing
their confident expectation that, with the additional ad-
vantages which must accrue to the company from the
arrangement above adverted to coming into operation on
the .Ist of May next, the general receipts at the end of
the year will be more than sufficient to pay a full divi-
dend on the preference shares, in addition to the interest
on the debentures. Arrangements have been made with
the local authorities and landowners, as well as with the
Government, to construct a temporary branch railway
from the present terminus to the Packet Pier, for the
purpose of facilitating the transit of goods and cattle
between Holyhead and Ireland. The cost of this work,
which is expected to be completed by the Ist of May
next, will be about 28,000/. The works of the Carne!r-
von branch are advancing, and a very large traffic in
an
in
slates over 64 miles of the railway may be expected at
early period. It is proposed to erect an hotel between
the Britannia and Menai bridges, commanding a
view of the Snowdon range of mountains. It
is intended that this hotel shall afford
astepafirrastte,
accommodation to travellers or visitors

tors do not doubt will be paid off, together with the
accruing dividend, from the net receipts of the railway
during the current year. It is proposed to create
42,000 shares of 9L 125. 6d. each, one to be offered to the
Colder of each original share; and the like number of
shares of 2/. 17s. 6d. each, ono to be offered to the

in October, 1854. They will be issued at a discount
equal to 161 per cent. on the first instalment, and 11 per
