GLASGOW, DUMBARTON, AND HELENS-
BURGH.

The third ordinary meeting of this company was held
on Wednesday at Glasgow ; Mr. Colin Campbell, jun.,
in the chair.

The report was held as read. It requested the meting
to coufirm anarrangewent made with the Forth and Clyde
Canal Company for an alteration of the original mode of
cros:ing their property. All Vie land s(-ttlements had been
completed, though the sums paid were in excess of the
Parliamentary valuation. The progress of the works was
reported by the engineer to be on the whole gratifying,
and it was under consideration to open that part of the
line between Dumbarton and Helensburgh next July.
Fn.= the large monthlypayments to the contractorsand
for land, the directors had no alternative but to make
another call on the shareholders.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he had only to explain that the arrangement with
the Forth and Clyde Canal Company was rendered ne-
cessary in order to raise the level of the line to that of
the Edinburgh and Glasgow line. The only other part
was in regard to the call. It was necessary to provide
funds, and previous to the making of the call they had
only 7,0001. at their credit. If any further explanation
were required he should be happy to give it.
Mr. W. BUCHANAN seconded the adoption of the re-
port, which was unanimously agreed to, and the meeting
broke up.

NORTH BRITISH.

An adjourned meeting of this company was hold at
Edinburgh on Wednesday, to receive the report of the
scrutineers on the votes and proxies given in at the meet
ing on the 18th, fur and against the directors. Mr.
Hodgson, chairman of the company, presided.
The scrutineers reported that there had voted for the
following motion—" That the course pursued by the
board of directors in regard to the money bill be ap-
proved, and the measure passed through Parliament
without delay"—present in pereon and by proxy, 1,048
shareholders, representing 1,108,393/. stock, giving
11,020 votes ; and that the number of shareholders who
voted for Mr. Walker's amendment, " that the conduct
of the directors be not approved of, and that the money
bill be restricted in amount," being 620, representing
986,090/. stock, giving 8,043 votes ; thus showing a
majority of 42S persons, 122,3031. stock, and 2,792 votes
for the said motion. Two of the scrutineers objected to
14 proxies being used in favour of the motion, on the
ground that the parties who gave them appeared at the
meeting, though they did not vote. The scrutineers ;or
the directors contended that that objection was erro-
neous, and that the said proxies (representing 25,4081.
stock and 185 votes) should be recorded in favour
of the motion, thus making the majority 442 per-
sons, 147,411/. stock, and 2,977 votes. For the office of
directors, the scrutineers reported that 1,005 persona
had voted for Mr. Douglass, 922 for Mr. Sprot, 636
for Mr. Leishman, and 632 for Mr. Walker. The two
former, who were retiring directors, were therefore re-
elected.
The CHAIRMAN, in declaring that the resolutions of the
directors had been carried, said he had no hesitation in
expressing his belief of the validity of the proxies ob-
jected to, though that que,,tion clid not alter the result.
He had also to declare that Messrs. Sprot and Douglass
were re-elected directors.

Mr. M.‘i4Avirr remarked that, though the opposition
headed by Mr. Walker had not been successful, having
been decided against by the preference shareholders, it
had still taught a salutary lesson to the directors. He
had no dread of a little wholesome agitation in railway
companies, as it generally tended to improve dividends,
and put things in a more satisfactory state. He wished
to ask the chairman as to the dividend he anticipated on
the line after the money bill should have passed and
their financial aff.drs should be adjusted. He had seen
it stated in a report as 1 per cent.
The CHiIRMAN said, the prospective dividend he had
estimated was 1 per cent, the half-year, or two per cent.
per Arnim He had every reason to believe that this
anticipated dividend would be realised.
The meeting then separated.

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, March 27.—There
has been a moderate business done in cloth for India,
and with the orders in hand for future delivery of shirt-
ing, madapollams, and jaconets, and the demand spring-
ing up, manufacturers are able to oommand full prices.
Sayers are, nevertheless, acting with much caution,
finding that foreign markets respond but slowly, if at
all, to the demand for extra prices. According to the
estimate of Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., yarns
are now ld. per lb., and India shirtings Dd. to 100.
per piece dearer than in last October ; and it will
readily he conceived that this is no trifling bar to the
rapid extension of business in the markets of India,
which have in the meantime received large supplies of
cheaper goods than can now be obtained here. There
is still some business in longcloths for Alexandria, and
the home trade houses continue well supplied with orders
from the country. In yarns there is only a moderate
business, and no change in prices.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GLASGOW, DUMBARTON, AND HELENS-
BURGII.

The second ordinary meeting of this company was
held in Glasgow on Wednesday—Mr. Cohn Campbell,
jun., in the chair.
The report of the directors stated that since the la't
meeting, held on the 11th September last, two calls of 2/.
each per share had been made ; and there was, on the 3d
of January last, a sum of 10,760/. of those calls in arrear
by the ordinary shareholders, which had, however, now
been reduced to a sum of about 3,0001., and the subscrip-
tion payable by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway
Company whenever the other shareholders have paid
50,000/., amounting to 32,0091., with interest from the
date of the calls upon the other shareholders. The report
also stated that the contractors had commenced their
works on the line at the Dalreach tunnel early in Sep-
tember, and were now proceeding with the works at va-
rious points. They had succeeded in obtaining possession
of the land almost throughout the whole line, and they
had also made considerable progress in the settle-
ments_with proprietors and tenants. They trusted that
before another half-yearly meeting takes place nearly
the whole land claims will be settled, and the works be
in a state of great forwardness.
The CHAIRMAN moved the approval of the report, and
requested the meeting to sanction the proceedings which
were being taken to enforce payment of arrears. It was
absolutely necessary that these calls should be paid up,
to facilitate the arrangements with the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway. He also moved that the number of
directors be reduced from nine to seven.
Mr. EWING seconded the motion, which was agreed
to, and the meeting separated.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES

Yesterday a special meeting of the magistracy of Mid
dlesex was held at the Session•hcuse in Clerken well—

first, to take into consideration the report of the Com-
mittee of Visitors of the County Lunatic Asylum at
Hanwell, and the plans for certain proposed alterations
at that institution, involving an expenditure of 67,300/. ;
and, secondly, to take into consideratioa the like report
from the Colney Hatch Asylum, and the plans of certain
proposed alterations for the enlargement of that esta-
blishment. Mr. Pownall presided.
The report from the asylum at Hanwell stated that,
throughout the year ending January last, the general
health of the patients of both sexes had been and con-
tinued to be, remarkably good, and that, though the
mortality was greater than in 1854, there had not been
the slightest cause for anxiety. The number of patients
admitted during the year was 151—males, 73 ; females,
73 ;—discharged cured, 16 males, 21 females ; deaths,
males 65, females 45. One male patient was killed by
another, and one female patient committed suicide by
hanging herself. Appended to the report were plans of
the proposed alterations of the asylum.
Sir A. Y. SPEARMAN, Bart., said the plans which were
submitted to the Court with the report had received the
most ample and careful consideration of the committee of
the asylum, of which he had the honour to be chairman ;
they bad been referred to a sub-committee for further
examination; and, finally, the general committee adopted
the plans of Mr. Harris, the architect, as most calculated
to carry out the object of the committee. Those plans
were now submitted to the Court for its decision. There
was a great demand for farther accommodation for the
pauper lunatics of the county, and the enlargement of
the present asylums was far preferable to the erection
of an additional one ; for it was most objectionable that
the ceentry should be studded over with such insti-
tutions.

Mr. ARMSTRONG seconded the motion. The expen-
diture proposed was not lavish, but involved a very
important principle of economy, because they were in
dilemma, unless they adopted these alterations they
would have no alternative but to provide a third asylum.
—Agreed to.

Mr. COTTRELL, with reference to the Colney Hatch
report, said, since the last Court-day, the Commissioners
in Lunacy had visited the asylum, and had made an
Q,ntry in the visiting-book, in which they expressed an
opinion that the committee had not taken advantage of
all the space at present available in the asylum for the
reception of patients. A report had been subsequently
received from the Commissioners on the same subject,
and therefore to give the committee an opportunity of
examining whether there was anything in the suggestions
of the Commissioners worth adopting, he proposed that
the consideration of the Colney Hatch Asylum report
be deferred until the next Court-day.
This was adopted, and a motion with respect to cer-
tain alterations at the Westminster House of Correction,
at an outlay of 11,0001., was also postponed, and the
Court then adjourned.
