The CHAIRMAN having introduced the business of the
day to the consideration of the meeting, requested Mr.
Bates, the managing director, to explain any p
upon which the proprietors might be willing to get in-
formation.
Mr. BATES accordingly entered into an explanation,
from which it appeared that the line of the Waterford
and Kilkenny Company was at that moment in active
prosecution beyond Knockwilliam, for which the direc-
tors were entitled to credit, since it might be in the re-
collection of many of the gentlemen present that only
two years since doubts were entertained whether thay
wauld be able to gct even to Knockvvilliam. With re-
gard to the financial condition of the company, during the
lust s•ix months the capital account had been swelled by
certain large payments, and the only item of which he
entertained no sympathy for was the subject of law ex-
panses of Ireland. Tho traffic receipts he considered
highly satisfactory, but the working expenses were
higher than they ought to be. _

is answer to questions, Mr. BATES said the capital
account would be closed at 450,0002, but he hoped that
it would be less than that amount.

The report was unanimously adopted, and after a ♦ote
of thanks to the chairman and Mr. Bates, the meeting
separated.

IRELAND.
Dunrazi, FRIDAY.—The Cullen project for closing the
gates of the
.Queen's College goes on " swimmingly."
Letters have been received by the working committee
which give a most flourishing account of the result of
the raid on the pockets of the American sympathisers.
A turn of not less than 1,000/. has been already netted
in the city of New York, and hopes are held out that
contributions to a fourfold extent may be expected be-
fore the world is many months older. Father Mullen, it
is anticipated, will wJrk wonders the moment he sets
foot on the short sof the Unitzd States. The total con-
tributions towards the university up to the present con-
siderably exceed 30,0001.
THE ACTION AGAINST THE CHIEF SECRETARY.—An
applie4tion was made yesterday in the Court of Queen's
!Loch out the part of the plaintiff in the case of '• Birch
v Somerville," to fix a day for the trial. It is an action
fur work end labour, brought against the Chief Store-
tary fur Ireland, and etoed first in the list for Monday,
and from the efficial vtitresses to be examined it was
desirahlq to have the case !hard on a day selected for
the purpose. The Chief Justice icquired if notice of
the application had been given to the other tide?
Counsel replied that there was not time sufficient to
give any notice. The Chit f Justice observed that in the
absence of the opposite counsel he could make no order
on the subject.
THE CHANCELLORSHIP OF THE UNIVERSITY.—It is
stated that a portion of the college authorities have come
to a resolution to select the Lord Primate as the suc-
cessor to the late King of Hanover in the office of Chan-
cellor of the University. His Grace has for a long
period held the appointment of Vice-Chancellor. The
feeling out of doors continues favourable to the claims of
the Earl of Rosso.

MINERAL RICHES of GREENLAND.--A letter from
Copenhagen of the 17th says :—" Intelligence has been re-
ceived here of the commencement of proceedings on the part
of the scientific expedition sent out some time back to ex-
plore the mountains of Greenland in a mineralogical point of
view. At the very commencement of their operations, near
Julianchaab, an abundance of copper ore was found almost
on a level with the surface. Afterwards, immense masses of
ore of from 2001bs. to 3001bs. weight were rolled down the
mountain, containing 60 per cent. of pure copper. The en-
gineers at the head of the expedition write word that con-
sidering the great analogy which exists between the forma-
tion of these mountains and that of the Ural chain in Russia,
they sh 11 not be surprised to find gold and silver."

The British Telegraph Company have just con-
eluded an arrangement with the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway Company for the use of their lines for telegraphic
purposes, by which the important commercial and manufac.
turing districts extending from Liverpool to Goole will de-
rive great advantage.
