Mr. FRANKLYN' again complained of the report baying
been issued only the night before the meeting, and said
it was to be regrette•l, mere especially on this occasi ,n,
that the report had not been issued earlier. He moved
that in future the report should be in the bawls of th 9
shareholders at least a fortnight before the day of meet-
ing.
A SHAREHOLDER seconded the resolution.

The CHAIP.MIN said the proCeedingi were very irre•
gular. If the meeting would decide whether they would
)are the report, read, or take it as read, he would after
hat address the nateCniz, and explain the cane° of the
delay in the issuing of the report.
The resolution was put and carried unanitnonsly.
The report hating been taken as read,

pRICE'S PATENT CANDLE COMPANY

The Directors of this Company are prrinared to receive applici.

If for mor• than six meths certain, but not more than eighteen

If for mare than eighteen mmth4 certain, 5 per cent, per annum.
The subscribed Capital of the Company is 750,0001., of which
650,0001. paid up

The CHAIRMAN said that he addressed them with
feelings of deep anxiety, both on his own account
and on theirs—(laughter) •se that he might ba able to
make plain to thorn that which they might not have
understood, and explain fully and fairly his past con-
duct. All he wished was to be judged by the facts.
He regretted the delay that had taken place in the pro-
duction of the report, owing to the delay in the produc-
tion of the accounts to the board of directors,
because they ought to have full opportunity
of examining it, and considering it previous to
their being called on to approve or reject it.
The Chairman then entered into the expenditure and
receipts of the company, which are fully set forth in the
report and the accounts. The extraordinary expenditure
for the half year had been 47,9141. 1 ls. 7J., out of
which 17,3471. 3s. 7d. had been set aside to meet dis-
puted claims and charges not previously ascertained.
The loss on the working of the Harwich and Ipswich and
Harwich and Antwerp boats for one year hal been
5,9761. 15s. 7d., and the directors had determined not to
run these boats for the future, net but that they thought
that a remunerating traffic would have ultimately been
obtained. The stores account showed a deficiency of
about 4,0001., which was included in the sum set aside
for disputed claims and charges. The revenue for the
past year would have given a dividend of Bs. per share,
had it not been for the outlay that had been
made for the permanent way to place it in
the most efficient state of repair, and he
hoped they would be able to come to a satisfactory
understanding as to what amount should be set aside for
the future fur that purpose. The committee of inquiry
had necessarily distracted the attention of the officials,
and he believed that had been the cause of an increa e
of expenditure during the balf-year, but he looked for-
ward to that unanimity in the future which was so ne-
cessary for the efficient and satisfactory working of
the line. The working stuck was now in an ineffi-
cient order, a large sum having been expended for
that purpose. After alluding to the opposition lines
proposed to be constructed, and the applications the
directors had made to Parliament, be referred to the
report of Niessrs. Quitter, B till, and Co., complaining of
the accounts of the stores department being in arrears,
and that a month must elapse before the accounts could
be completed, and he (the chairman) called on Mr.
Bruce, a director, who bad taken that department under
his especial care, to explain the cause of that
arrear. After some other general remarks, he moved
the reception and adoption of the report.
The motion having been seconded,

The Cornpany s total borrowinz power is 103,0301., which has
already been ex,welsed to the extent of 46,700!.

ability and • putting in the situation a man
incapable of discharging the duties. Helassured them
that the stores accounts were c)rreet. He the n
entered on the general accounts for the half year which
he said were unsatisfactory.
The CHAIRMAN denied that he recommended the ap-
pointment of the store-keeper. Mr, Bruce recom-
mended that person to the committee, and they
appointed him. ffe (the Chairman) had rendered
every assistance possible to get the stores accounts ready,
but the system of accounts laid down by Mr. Truce had
been a failure. The utmost confusion prevailed during
the statement of the chairman.

Mr. BRUCE, with great vehemence, defied the Chair
man to deny that he appointed the storekeeper, and
oalled on Mr. Anderton in confirmation.

Mr. NORRIS censured the unseemly interruptions of
the chairman in the discussion that had taken place,
,nd he claimed hiy right to al;rosi any remarks he
thoug,ht proper on the contents of the 'report. Every
thing sank into inpignifi(.ance in coinparison.with that
,1 the election of directors. Looking at the act of Par-
liament, he charged the directors with serikus derelic-
tion of duty in not having the accoults ready 14 days
,efore the meeting, and certainly a person re-
ceiving 2,0001. a year should' be able to
oroduce them in time, or be was not
Aigible for re-election. The hon. gentleman then
-vent over the general state of the usdertaking, which
ias been so repeatedly put before the public during the
past half-year. He thought it was time to remove the
„resent chairman from that position, and elect a man
capable of successfully conducting theaffairs of the com-
pany.
In reply to a question from Mr. Lola,
The AUDITOR said that the locomotive superinten-
de,,t'i books had not been audited.

After some further discussion,
Mr. HAINE moved as an amendment that the report
he received and adopted so far only as related to the de-
claring of a dividend ' • but that the report and accounts
in all other respects be received, but not adopted, and
that the accounts be referred back to the auditors for a
more perfect audit.
Dr. RILEY seconded the amendment, which was car-
ried.

Mr. HAINE then moved the following resolution :
" That the payment of 2,0001. to the chairman of the
company should be discontinued."
Dr. RILEY seconded the motion, which was carried.
After the transaction of some other business, the meet-
ing proceeJed to the election of retiring directors.
The retiring directors are Mr. Waddington, M.P. ;
Lard A. Paget, M.P., resigned ; and Mr. J. Packe.
Tuo candidates to fill the vapancies are Mr. Wadding. j
ton, the chairman ; Mr. Packe ; and the following new,
candidates—Mr. Goodson, the Albany, Piccadilly; Mr.'

rADVERTISLMENT.I—The misery, the disappointment, the
interminable expense of ineffectual " physic-taking, are now
happily superseded by the use of Messrs. Du Barry's Iteva-
louts Arabica Food, which, by a pleasing and natural action
on the system, removes chronic and exhausting disease, and
replaces languor and pain' /i guur and health. Those whom
it has restored to the enjoyment of life include persons be-
longing to all social grades and professions, and it is a proof
that the emotion of gratitude is more general than cynics
imagine, when we find upwards of 50 thousand of the indivi-
duals thus relieved publicly expressing their sense of the 1 enc.
fits they have derived. The peer and the clergyman, and the
physician, the naval and military officer, the merchant, trades-
man, and even the poor mechanic, have joined in this unani-
mous and unparalleled testimonial. Their acknowledgments
partake of the same spirit which characterises the com-
munication of Mr. Evans Pepperell, who commences his
letter by saying : —" For many years I have been a martyr
to indigestion, acidity, heartburn, constipation, and nervous
ness, to such a degree that I was unable to stay alone in my
room, or walk out alone, being constantly filled with unac-
countable fears ; and I have had several fits, remaining uncon-
scious for about half an hour. I had the advice of three emi-
nent physicians, and taken their prescriptions for a long
time, but my ainients only increased under their influence.
Your excellent Food produced, I am happy to state, an imm
diate change for the better, and I am now, after two weeks'
use of it, a wholly different being, with excellent appetite,
clear tongue, free from acidity and heartburn, regular in my
functions, and getting stronger every day. My nerves are
perfectly tranquil, and I sleep most refreshingly. With gra-
titude to you for so happy a change, I remain, &e., &c.,
Evans PEPPERELL." Another gentleman, who, like most
others, invites Messrs. Du Barry to refer sufferers
to him, thankfully declares ;—" I have found your incom-
parable Food au infallible preventive of the gout." The
ladies are equally emphatic in their acknowledgments.
Thus, Miss M`Lelland expresses her thanks for the " re-
moval of dyspepsia and constipation, from which she had
suffered for many years. Miss M. considers Mr. Du Barry's
Food a most invaluable article of diet for invalids, being highly
nutritious, strengthening, and restorative, and she will feel
great pleasure is recommending it to her friends." What in-
valids most require is a certainty that the article recommended
I to them is capable of affording relief ; that they will not have
again to undergo (as they have so often done) the bitter pro-
cess of trial and disappointment. This certainty they now pos-
sess, and it is no extravagance to express our confidence that
it will prove the harbinger of glad tidings to millions.

CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE AND ITS ECONOMY FOR DRY-
ING PURPOSES.—We witnessed a few days since a pro-
cess patented by Mr. Hands, of Epsom, and which is
likely to prove of great service to porcelain works, pot-
teries, and other establishments where plastic substances
require gradual, equable, and rapid drying. Mr. Hands
has applied it to his own business—the making of bricks
—with decided success. He has a common kiln, in
which there are three fire holes. The smoke from the
kiln is carried downwards and utder ground by a flue
into the drying house of 55,500 cubic feet area, and
within this flue rises again in the form of a double wall
covered at the top, and traverses the whole of the room,
when it again leaves it and is connected with the back
of the kiln, and passing through the fire every vestige
of smoke is consumed. By this simple arrangement the
drying room was rapidly raised to about 93 degrees,
although there were 150,000 moist bricks therein, and
the temperature was at freezing point outside. Mr.
Hands informed us that the temperature within the
drying room seldom varies beyond a degree or so, and
an experiment he performed by opening a communica-
tion with the smoke chamber, when a rapid suction
draught was created without the slightest portion el
smoke escaping, went far to convince us that a remedy
has been found for the nuisance occasioned by the efllu
via arising from soap factories, bone boilers, chemical
works, and a host of other noxious trades, which are
at present so loudly complained of. It will be manifest
to scientific men, that if the process will act with a com-
mon kiln, all other descriptions of furnaces may be
adapted with little or no modification. Mr. Hands'
object is very properly to grant licenses to those who
may personally convince themselves of its efficient sim-
plicity.

MR. ROEBITCK'S MOTION.
(Peon tile Times of this clay.)
To those willi ra4-lier requii; the healthy excitement of war
noVaing can be mr,ro consolatory than'the present tone of the
Commons. We may depend on it, that though the fighting
relay cease on tb e banks of the Tchernaya, it will continue to
rage on those eef the Thames ; and, though the Conferences
at Paris may -come to an early and pacific conclusion. not
so the debate» in the British House of Commons. Every-
thing is done here to expand the difficulty into an
infinite series. At the first terrible burst of the Cii-
mean tragc Iy public indignation bee-erne absolutely in-
surgent, bro' ca through the guard of office, and overthrew,
split asunder., and cowed successive administrations, till a
solemn inqwesition was held on the causeg of our disasters.
Mr. Roebuck. leery correctly describes himself as the promi-
nent figure en the insurrectionary rush which extorted this
act of justi :.e. From that day to this he has been, as we say,

iion of wrath the present Government lias been continually em-
ployed in erecting successive barriers and breakwaters. ,At
one time it was content to break the force of,the current,
then to turn it aside, and now it even aspires to hurl it back
altogether. Compelled to grant a Committee of Inquiry, it
reluctantly allowedeit to be open. It then sent out its own
Commissioners to the Crimea, with what pledge object it
never explained; for, judging by the resulteit dilnot expect

Roebuel-
adreinistration of the army, in the East, we are ,of opinion
Veda not a day, not a minute, would have been lost in bringing
the document to the light. In the mystery which so long
enveloped it, and in that long delay of seven months, we
now possess a measure of the importance which the Ministers
attached to it. ' A commission whose report could thus bo
used or not, and which' could be kept in store for and' period
whatever, was a very con euient instrument. We now sees
that nothing was intended but a " buffer," to use a term of
the rail, against popular collision.
The men chosen, however, were too honest, and the device
Med. Had the British public been content to ask no ques-
tions the report would never have been heard of, or exhumed
only for the benefit of some unborn Macaulay. But some
rumours of its contents, and the outrage done to public feel-
ing by selecting the worst offenders for honour and responsi-
bility, revived the feelings that Government had so much
reason to fear. 'What was then to be done/ With v. singular
want of invention, with a persistence in the old course that
argued rather weakness than audacity, Government could
think of nothing .to cover the old Commission but a
new one. Like the ships we were lately sending one
after another to the Arctic Seas, a Commission was to
be despatched after a Commission, and a report laid on
a report, how far and to how many successive layers
of inquiry time alone could show. This was what
Mr. Roebuck had to expose last night, and what Government
had to defend as well as it could. The choice of the new com-
mission was too much in accordance with its evidont object
to be passed over, and Mr. Roebuck defied the charge of per-
sonality. No doubt if, as is believed, everbody concerned in
the Crimean mismanagement is to be let off easy, and the ap-
proaching, peace is to be celebrated with a gaol delivery
of Generals and Staff officers, excepting perhaps same poor e
scapegoat of a Commissary, never was a Board so adroitly
composed. We don't insist much on its veteran character nor
thc.leaning already shown ; but we should be surprised to
find any other result than nobody in the wrong, no-
thing proved against anybody, misfortunes beyond
human foresight er estimate, no remedy possible, and
nobody to be censured, excepting, may be, the unfortunate
Commissary-General, paid to be beaten in the place of .his
betters.

But there is no longer any disguise over the purpose of the
Commission. It is nothing more than a Peace Conference in
Loudon to settle the differences of General officers and enable
them to offer mutual explanations. A body of gentlemen
eminently qualified to officiate iu such affairs will receive con-
flicting statements, and find out how they may be reconciled
without much loss of meaning or of honour. If one man de-
clared be receivedletters, and others declared they never wrote
them, as Mr. F. Peel very pleasantly confessed to be the case,
then the Board will discover that everybody did his linty,
though in effect nothing was done. It was, of course, an ana-
chronism to promote the subjects of inquiry before their final
expurgation, but that was unavoidable. In a certain, place,
the poet tells us, the judge scourged first and heard afterwards;
but in that more genial court over which Lord Panmure pre-
sides they reward first and try afterwards. The accused come
into court with their blushing t‘,iours thick upon them.
Under those circumstances the 1,'4,1 must be well selected,
and the trial conducted with nuc, tire on discretion. The pu-
rifying process is ringularly de .ate, and the Board must be

errors. When Ceres, as schoolboys read, was holding her
adopted sea over the live coals, to purify him into godhead,
the boy's mother peeped in and spoilt the process by her ini-
-1 patient curiosity. That is precisely Mr. Roebuck's offence in
the eyes of Lord Palmerston and the Under• Secretary for
War. If he will only let the Board alone, it will soon pre-
sent us with half-a-dozen great soldiers instead of that num-
ber of very ordinary bunglers. In that case England will in-
deed have reason to remember with thaukfulnebs that, if the
army perished, the generals survive, and in the event of ano-
ther war, we know where to go for generals.

"'Tis not in mortals to command success,"
and they did net succeed in preserving their army, but they
did more—they deserved to do so. • ,

(From the Daily New's of this

Mr. Roebuck has again failed to precipitate a general en-
gagement between the two great par ties its Parliament. The
debate last night was in every sense of the term inconclusive.
Nobody seems to have been for a moment under the delusion
that anything decisive could come of it, there or then ; so
each of the wordy warriors pursued his own line, and aimed
for the most part at the objects of his own particular aver-
sion. The learned member for Sheffield hardly took the
trouble to make out a ease for the course he pronounced to
be the only right one lie stated no new facts, adduced no
novel arguments, and in short went through a part which,
having hastily undertaken, he would not- formally renounce,
with the air of a man who feels that he has mistaken his
time, and that all etTo.ts to bring about any serious collision
must be wholly vain. Sir J. Pakingtou was still more apolo-
getic for having been so ill-advised as to give notice of a rival
proposition of censure on Ministers for appointing a military
board of inquiry.

We have neither time nor temper to review the desultory
inanities and dull personalities of the subordinate speakers in
the debate that followed. One sad and tedious exception
demands a passing notice : we allude to the long and ill-
judged oration of the Under-Secretary for War. We warned
Lord Palmerston at the time against the•folly of putting this
un-promising young man into so difficult and important a
post. There may be situations where he could do uo harm,
and possibly do some good. But in days of war without and
war within, to set the least dexterous, least eloquent, and
least discerning of speakers in the front of the battle, is in-
human. Really Lord Palmerston ought to think of it.
We deeply regret that so experienced a soldier and senator
as Sir De Laoy should have set an example so pernicious, if
not perilous, to all order, justice, and authority, as the sud-,
Glen and capricious disclosure of matters only known to him
in his confidential character as the. commander of a division
in the field. The scene between himself and Col. Gordon,
when the latter brought him, as he states, an incoherent, and
it might have proved fatal, order to advance into the valley
of the Tchernaya, was most vividly described, and produced,
as it was intended, a strong impression on the house.

(From the Morning Post of this day.)
With regard to Mr. Roebuck's discomfited attempt, now
numbered among the things of the past we have not much
to say that we have not said already. The alteration which
Mr. Roebuck made at the eleventh hour—by substituting
for an assertion that it will be believed that the object of the
appointment of the supplementary commission is to shelter
incompetence and excuse misconduct—a prophetic announce-
ment—that the result of the labours of the board will be,
the finding of a hiding-place for the sins of the War Depart-
ments of in Whitehall and at the Horse Guards—does not in
any degree mend his case or give him a better foundation to
stand upon. If anything, indeed, it puts Mr. Roebuck in
rather a worse position. The prophecy of the amended
motion is more dogmatic and absolute than the anticipation
of the first; and by just as much as it is more positive, by
so much is it more patently erroneous. Was there over such
nonsense ? How can this additional inquiry, conducted in an
open court, by general officers of distinction, entirely indepen-
dent of the Horsy Guards, and having nothing to hope or to
fear from any Government department, hide, or assist in
hiding, any misconduct, or stifle any allegation of miscon-
duct, upon the part of the Minister or the Commander-in-
Chief upon whose recommendation the Crown appointed to
commands the officers inculpated or reflected upon by the
report of Sir John M'Neill or Colonel Tulloch. There can be
no such result, nor any such effect. It is superfluous to talk-
to a man like Mr. Roebuck, who sees but one side of human
nature, and believes every man to be made out of a rib taken
from that one side—that Lord Palmerston, and the Govern-
ment over which he presides, are above creating such a dis-
honourable shelter as Mr. Roebuck persists this commission
is intended to be. Mr. Roebuck would not comprehend such
language ; but he will understand what we mean when we
say that it cannot, by any ingenuity or audacity or device, be
made to do duty as shelter. It can no more be used to cover
the nakedness of the offences of the War Departments, if of-
fences there be, than the magic cloak could be induced to
veil the frailties of the fair ladies of King Arthur's itound
Table.
