MARG ATE.

The directors state in their report that the line
was opened from Faversham to Whitstable on the
Ist inst., and that the traffic returns are satisfactory.
Owing to the inclement weather which has prevailed
during the last six months, the directors have been
disappointed in their expectation of opening the
line to Herne Bay this summer, but it will be ready
for traffic early in the ensuing spring. The Board
are in negotiation with the London, Chatham and
Dover Railway for the purpose of making such
arrangements as will enable them to complete the
line to Margate by the spring of 1862, which, when
matured, will be laid before the shareholders for
their approval. The directors have to congratulate
the shareholders on the passing of the bill of the
London, Chatham and Dover Company for extend-
ing their line to Farringdon-street, and improving
their access to the Victoria station at Westminster.
By means of these lines Margate will be brought
into direct communication with the city and west-
end of London, as well as the principal railways
north of the Thames.
The capital account showed that £110,575 had
been expended.

THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.

At Hawick the continued showery weather and
the absence of sunshine have considerably retarded
the ripening of the grain, still most of the fields are
now assuming a yellow tinge. Barley is, of course,
furthest advanced, and a few sunny days would
make it ready for the sickle on the lower grounds.
The crops are good, and although already injured
in some degree by the unfavourable -veather, were
it to improve now there would be little to complain
of here in comparison with earlier districts. The
grain is partially laid by the heavy rains, but not
so much so as might have been expected. We had
wet-dropping days in the middle of last week; but
it was fine on Saturday and on Sunday. On Sun-
day evening there was a keen autumn frost, and a
clearer sky presented than we have seen for some
weeks. On Monday morning, however, the clouds
returned and rain fell. A good deal of meadow hay
has been seriously injured, and some totally spoiled.
The turnip and potato crops look remarkably well,
though disease is beginning to show in the latter.
Since Thursdays the mornings at Perth have been
somewhat frosty, and on ?Monday morning espe-
cially the " rime" was quite white upon the grass.
With the exception of Friday, however, very little
rain has fallen after the frost during the day. On
Monday there was bright sunshine with a slight
north-westerly breeze. In early districts a good
deal of barley has been cut down, and in the Carse
of Gowrie, the lower part of Strathearn, and round
Perth, the reaping of wheat will be general in a few
days if the weather continue fair and warm. Oats
have not as yet suffered by frosty nights, but if rain
follow they will not fill well, and consequently will
be a deficient crop. Beans and peas promise an ave-
rage yield ; and potatoes upon the whole are im-
proving, and if we have genial weather during the
ensuing month will be not much below an average.
The symptoms of blight throughout the lowland of
Perthshire generally are not extensive, and owing
to the crop not being so far advanced this season
as in former years at the end of August, great
hopes are entertained that the taint will be par-
tial. The potatoes sent to market, though of
small size, are of excellent quality and almost free
of disease. The Kelso Mail says :—" Since our last
considerable progress has been made with the har-
vest in forward situations. On the farms of Clifton-
hill, Edenmouth, Ednam, and Roxburgh Barns,
cutting has commenced, and in some instances has
made great progress. We are glad to observe a
change for the better in the weather. To-day
(Saturday) has been fine with clear sunshine and
drying winds—which will have a very great influ-
ence in bringing forward the growing crops. With
a continuance of good weather the harvest in this
district will be gathered in in very good style,
though somewhat later than last year."

DAVIESON'S EVERLASTING TEETH.-
THE LATEST DISCOVERY.— Mr. EDWARD
DAVIESON, Surgeon-Dentist, has introduced a material
for the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH so extraor-
dinary that nature appears to have made good the ravages of
TIME, DISEASE, or ACCIDENT, and when fitted detec-
tion is impossible even though the wearer's mouth be closely
examined. The price is so moderate that it is within the
reach of all, and it is fitted without springs or other unsightly
fastenings. The removal of stumps is unnecessary, and thus
all pain is avoided. Mr. Edward Davieson Invites one visit
of inspection to his establishment, which will convince the
most sceptical of the truth and straightforwardness of this
statement. The LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping. Decayed
Teeth, is ENAMEL WHITE, keeps its colour, and lasts for
ever. It is invaluable for Front Teeth. Attendance daily
from Ten till Six. Consultations free. Mr. EDWARD
DAVIESON, Electric Telegraph Office, 448, West Strand,
London. The descriptive pamphlets free for two stamps.

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Shrewsbury on Friday, Sir C. H. R.
Broughton presided.
An abstract of the report and statement of ac-
counts has appeared in The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
which was seconded by Mr. J. R. GORE, M.P.
Mr. H. ROBERTSON advocated a close alliance
with the London and North-Western Company,
which he said had 400 miles of rail at the northern
end of this line, whereas the Great Western, which
had a preponderating interest in the board of direc-
tors, had only 40 miles.

Mr. W. 1-1. BAGLEY (a director) said he had al-
ways been led to believe that the prosperity of the
company had very much depended upon the inde-
pendent position it had always maintained, and he
thought its interests would be perilled bya departure
from that course of action. He thought they ought
to be friends with all, but that no undue advantage
ought to be given to one company over another.
After some discussion the report was adopted,
and a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. for the half-
year ending June 30 declared.

The retiring directors were Mr. R. Venables, Mr,
A. Grounds, and Mr, E. Chadwick. They were al]
again proposed and seconded, as were also Mr. H,
Robertson, Mr. T. Ashton, and Mr. R. Green.

A long and angry discussion took place,the friends
of the new candidates affirming that the policy of
the board had hitherto been shilly-shally, and had
been too much influenced by Great Western views.
The show of hands was in favour of the old direc-
tors, and a poll was demanded on behalf of the
other candidates. After the retiring auditor (Mr.
T. Hill) had been re-elected, scrutineers were ap-
pointed for the election of directors. The poll was
kept open till six o'clock the same day, and the
meeting adjourned till yesterday (Tuesday), when
the votes were declared to be as follows :—For Mr.
Venables, 2,135 votes; Mr. Grounds, 2,364 votes ;
Mr. Chadwick, 2,135 votes; Mr. Robertson, 3,169
votes ; Mr. Ashton, 3,105 votes ; Mr. Green, 2,924
votes. An objection was taken to the reception of
proxies for Messrs. Robertson, Ashton, and Green,
on the ground that it was not stated by the share-
holders giving them to their agents at which meet-
ing (both an ordinary and an extraordinary meeting
having been called for that day) the proxies were
intended to be used,
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. J. R. Gore, M.P.) said that
under the circumstances he should adjourn the
meeting till the 11th of September, in order that
proper legal advice might be obtained.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—The importance of the subject will, I hope,
plead my apology for again addressing to you a few
remarks on the admission of artisans to the Volun-
teer ranks. Ido so because I am anxious to ex-

lain two points in my former letter to which ob.
ections have been taken.

J
1. It has been stated that my proposal of attach
ing artisan companies to existing corps is in contra-
diction of the object I have in view—viz., the union
of classes.
2. It is said that the adoption of a smart optional
dress would be like playing at soldiers, and would
be viewed with jealousy and disfavour by those who
could not afford it.
Now, as regards the first objection, I readily ad-
mit that the formation of artisan companies would
establish class distinctions to a certain extent ; but
it must be remembered that this was only suggested
as an alternative, in case the expenses of existing
corps should debar the artisans from joining ; and I
proposed the formation of artisan companies attached,
to existing corps as a preferable course to the forma-
tion of special and separate artisan corps. These ar7
tisan companies, being under the same commanding
officer as the other companies, and forming part of
one regiment, would necessarily be under the in-
fluence of that esprit de corps which pervades every
regiment, and this would go far to neutralise any
class feelings, prejudices, or jealousies, such as wouli
infallibly arise under a system of separate artisan
corps. Besides, these artisan companies wouldhave
the benefit of the butts, staff, head-quarters, drill
place, &c., of the corps to which they were attached,
and these are expenses which, when added to the cost
of uniforms, will be found to press heavily on the
Artisan Corps Benevolent Fund.
Secondly, as regards the objections raised to the
suogestion of a smart optional uniform. It is easy to
talk of man-millinery, and to say that the adoption
of a smart optional uniform would be like playing at
soldiers; but many a gallant soldier has been at-
tracted to the army by a showy uniform. Love of
dress is inherent in human naturt., ; it is a considera-
tion which is not lost sight of by the recruiting
sergeant, and it is an element which must not be
omitted in the formation of a Volunteer corps. As-
suming, then, that it is only by adopting a cheap,
plain, serviceable uniform that a union of classes can
be effected, why should a Volunteer who can afford
it, or who is likely to require it, be debarred from
getting a smarter dress? Because, it is said, it will
create jealousies. To this objection I have only to
reply that this system has been adopted in the Lon-
don Scottish, and has given rise to no jealousies, re-
monstrances, or discontent; and I would in conclu-
sion refer all who raise this objection to the admi-
rable letter of an artisan, Mr. Pettie, which ap-
peared in the Times of Tuesday last.—l remain,
your obedient servant, Euno.

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Shrewsbury on Friday, Sir C. H. R.
Broughton presided.
An abstract of the report and statement of ac-
counts has appeared in The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
which was seconded by Mr. J. R. GORE, M.P.
Mr. H. ROBERTSON advocated a close alliance
with the London and North-Western Company,
which he said had 400 miles of rail at the northern
end of this line, whereas the Great Western, which
had a preponderating interest in the board of direc-
tors, had only 40 miles.
Mr. W. H. BAGLEY (a director) said he had al-
ways been led to believe that the prosperity of the
company had very much depended upon the inde-
pendent position it had always maintained, and he
thought its interests would be perilled bya departure
from that course of action. He thought they ought
to be friends with all, but that no undue advantage
ought to be given to one company over another.
After some discussion the report was adopted,
and a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. for the half-
year ending June 30 declared.
The retiring directors were Mr. R. Venables, Mr.
A. Grounds, and Mr, E. Chadwick. They were all
again proposed and seconded, as were also Mr. H.
Robertson, Mr. T. Ashton, and Mr. R. Green.
A long and angry discussion took place,the friends
of the new candidates affirming that the policy of
the board had hitherto been •shilly-shally, and had
been too much influenced by Great Western views.
The show of hands was in favour of the old direc-
tors, and a poll was demanded on behalf of the
other candidates. After the retiring auditor (Mr.
T. Hill) had been re-elected, scrutineers were ap-
pointed for the election of directors. The poll was
kept open till six o'clock the same day, and the
meeting adjourned till yesterday (Tuesday), when
the votes were declared to be as follows :—For Mr.
Venables, 2,135 votes; Mr. Grounds, 2,364 votes ;
Mr. Chadwick, 2,135 votes; Mr. Robertson, 3,169
votes; Mr. Ashton, 3,105 votes; Mr. Green, 2,924
votes. An objection was taken to the reception of
proxies for Messrs. Robertson, Ashton, and Green,
on the ground that it was not stated by the share-
holders giving them to their agents at which meet-
ing (both an ordinary and an extraordinary meeting
having been oalloa for that ila.l) the proxies wero
intended to be used,

The CHAIRMAN (Mr. J. IL Gore, M.P. said that
under the circumstances he should adjourn the
meeting till the 11th of September, in order that
proper legal advice might be obtained.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LEEDS, AUG. 28.
The business doing in wheat is still on a small scale, but
where sales are made 3s advance on last week's prices were

ther more money. Other articles do not vary in price.
The weather has again become showery.

LIVERPOOL--AUG. 28.
There was a fair attendance of millers and dealers !tt
this morning's market, but an inactive business doing in
wheat, and prices are fully as dear. Flour in slow sale el'
late rates. Beans and barley have each advanced on the

with their own, by which a very large saving will
be effected, increased facilities afforded, and, they
trust, a combined, harmonious, and beneficial work-
ing of both lines secured. The capital account
showed that £820,695 had been rec:ived, and
£800,026 expended, leaving a balance of £20,669.
The Clones and Cavan Extension capital account
showed that £12,000 had been received from four
subscribing companies, and £9,674 expended,
leaving a balance of £2,326.

COLEFORD, MONINIOUTII, USK, AND
PONTYPOOL.
The half-yearly meeting was held at Monmouth
on Monday ; Mr. Crawshay Bailey, M.P., the
chairsnain, presided.
Mr. WA DDINGTON, the secretary, read the report,
which stated that the traffic had gradually deve-
loped during the last year, but until the Forest of
Dean ore was reached no great increase of traffic
could be expected. The directors, however, had the
satisfaction to state that the river Wyse was already
crossed, and in the course of three months they ex-
pected to open the extension to Redbrook, and
when the additional length to Coleford was carried
out shareholders might reckon on the certain suc-
cess of the undertaking.
The accounts showed the expenditure had been
£168,:;00. The share capital paid up amounted to
£114,700; the debentures to £50,000; and balance
due to bankers, £3,600.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the re-
port. He congratulated the proprietors that 161
miles of railway had been complete d for £168,000,
while a neighbouring line—the Newport, Aberga-
venny, and Hereford—had cost £30,000 per mile.
The revenue account was really satisfactory, both
as regarded passengers and general traffic, consi-
dering the country through which the railway
passed. He alluded to the small amount of sup-
port extended to the directors, and in calling upon
the public to assist in carrying out the extension to
the Forest of Dean said, that effected, there could
be no doubt of a satisfactory dividend.
Mr. S. RUSSELL, a director, said, he and several
of his colleagues felt:that if additional aid were not
forthcoming they would prefer that the line should
remain as it was, even if no return were yielded
upon the large capital the directors had expended.
The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks to
the chairman and directors concluded the proceed-
ings.

WEST CORNWALL.

The report of the directors states that there is a
continued increase of traffic, notwithstanding that
all the contemplated arrangements for carrying
through traffic have not as yet been completed.
Comparing the half-year's accounts with those of
the corresponding period of 1859, it appears that
48,953 additional passengers have been carried,
producing £1,100; in the amount received for the
carriage of parcels, which include fish, there has
been an increase from £6Bl to £1,563, and in gene-
ral merchatidise 3,055 tons more have been carried,
yielding in taoney £785. There is still an increase
in the coal carried, but a further falling off in the
copper ore. The revenue account shows a total re-
ceipt of £17,740 as against £16,140 in the corre-
sponding period of 1859, being an increase of £2,600,
while the disbursements show an increase of £1,165
only, leaving a balance of £6,000 to be carried to
the credit of general revenue account as against
£4,564 in 1859. The balance standing to the
credit of the general revenue account is now
£9,509. The aggregate of this profit has been
appropriated in the form of a suspense account, to
provide means for the extension of the business of
the company. It is necessary, therefore, that some
other mode should be devised
,for providing capi-
tal for such purposes before the profits which
accrue from the working of the line can be available
for division among the proprietary. The directors,
with a view of meeting the wishes of those prolirie-
tors who consider that the current profits of the
company should be divided, and at the same time
preserving unimpaired the credit of the company,
are strongly of opinion that the wisest course would
be
to obtain power to issue the shares held by the
company as preference shares. If this plan meets
the approval of the proprietors, the Board will take
the steps necessary for making an application to
Parliament in the ensuing session for a bill to en-
able the company to issue such shares, or portions
thereof, as preference shares, as from time to time
the proprietors may see fit. In the application to
Parliament the directors would also ask for power
to convert the debenture debt into debenture stock.
The directors feel every confidence that if this plan
should be carried out the necessary capital can be
obtained on easy terms, and the company would
thus be enabled to divide the profits among the
shareholders_ The directors continue on good terms
with the various railway companies with which
they are now in communication, and also the same
good understanding exists between the directors of
the Cornwall Railway Company and themselves.

DAVIESON'S EVERLASTING TEETH.-

for the construction of ARTIFICIA.I, TEETH so extraor-
dinary that nature appears to have made good the ravages of
TIME, DISEASE, or ACCIDENT, and when fitted detec-
tion is impossible even though the wearer's mouth be closely
examined. The price Is so moderate that it is within the
reach of all, and it is fitted without springs or other unsightly
fastenings. The removal ofastumps is unnecessary, and thus
all pain is avoided. Mr. Edward Davieson invites one visit
of inspection to his establishment, which will convince the
most sceptical of the truth and straightforwardness of this
statement. The LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping Decayed
Teeth, is ENAMEL WHITE, keeps its colour, and lasts for

ITALY.

The Nationalites of Turin states that formal
instructions have been given to the French Admiral
and Baron Brenier to observe a strict neutrality in
the conflict pending between the Neapolitan troops
and the force of Garibaldi. The French squadron
is to do nothing that may interfere with the defence
of Naples against any attack.
The Opinione says that the order given by the
Sardinian Government, prohibiting the departure
of any more volunteers to Sicily, was absolutely
necessary, to prevent the demoralization of the
Sardinian army, from which the desertions, to join
the national cause, had become so numerous as to
alarm the authorities. It is reported from Genoa I
that a body of volunteers had seized the Orwell
steamer, lying in the port, embarked on board her,
and sailed for Sicily.
A correspondent of the Nord gives a mournful
description of the present state and appearance of
Venice. The public places, cafes, and theatres are
deserted or closed, and an air of gloom and desola-
tion, pervades the whole city. Business is paralysed
I by the uncertainty of events, and money is disap-
pearing from circulation. The arsenal is closed,
throwing a thousand men out of work, in addition to
those discharged from private establishments. The
taxes and imposts have been increased, and are levied
with extraordinary rigour. Arbitrary deportations,
arrests on suspicion, and sentences of compulsory
service in the army have driven thousands into
exile. whose property, if they possess any, is con-
fiscated. The increased severity of the measures
of repression is directed against the secret commit-
tees, organised throughout the territory ; they are
known to be in correspondence with the Italian
national party; but the Government can obtain
very little certain information of their plans, and
numerous arrests aro made on suspicion.

SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—The pev. George
Martin, chancellor of the diocese of Exeter, put an end to
his existence on Monday last by cutting his throat at his
residence at Harberton, about two miles from Totnes, of
which parish he has been the rector for about 40 years.
He was a good, kind, and charitably disposed man, and his
loss will be severely felt in the neighbourhood. Domestic
afflictions are stated to be the cause of the melancholy act.
At the half-yearly meeting of the General Steam
Navigation Company the report and accounts to the 30th
of June were unanimously adopted, and the usual dividend
of 14s. per share, being at the rate of 10 per cent, per an-
num, was declared,
