Mr. LAYARD moved for nominal return of officers,
non-commissioned officers, and privates mentioned or
recommended for di-tingnished services in the reports of
Generals Codrington and Markham, and in that of the
Brigadiers attached to their respective divisions, on the
occasion of the storming of the Redan on the Bth day of
September, 1855.—Agreed to.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, read a
document which stated that the whole of the financial
business of the, company was under the control of
Mr. Sadleir. It also stated that Mr Sadleir
had promised to give an account of his position
with respect to the company on the 18th of the present
month, but he committed suicide on the day previous,
the 17th, and they had only had time at present to make
a hasty investigation of the affairs of the company.
The statement of the financial position of the company at
the present moment was then read, from which it ap-
peared that the number of shares that Mr. Sadleir had
over•issued amounted to 16,291, and that the number of
obligations of the company over-issued by him was 18.782.
The balance-sheet showed an item of 17,8241. due by the
company to Mr. Sadleir, and also that the liabilities of
the company he had incurred, and which did not appear
in the books of the company, amounted to 35,2411. is.
10d., for which it was unknown what securities existed.
It also showed that 5,000 shares had been purchased for
the company at par.
A variety of questions were put to the direntors as to
the course they proposed to adopt, as it appeared that
the company was in a complete state of bankruptcy,
they having only a few hundred pounds at the bank to
meet liabilities to the amount of about 86,0001.
Eventually, a committee of shareholders was appointed
to report the true state of the company's affairs to a
meeting to be convened at the earliest moment possible.

On Monday last a very startling and alarming account
appeared in the different papers of a robbery com-
mitted at the house of Mr. Knott, a gentleman re•id-
ing at Sutherland-square, Wel worth, and an attempt at
murder Ly the thieves. The paraeraph went on to state
that, about six o'clock on Sunday evening, Mr. and Mrs
Knott and their family left their residence to attend the
evening service at a neighbouring church, leaving their
servant (Lucy Constable) charge of the house. On their
return home the family found the house surrounded by a
large erased of persons, and, on ontrring, they discovered
the servant with one wound on her hand and another in
her throat. She was enabled, however, to state that very
soon after her master and mistress had left, the hour,
three men hal effected an entrance by means of elseleton
keys, and commenced plundering it. She endeavoured to
prevent them, and, while doing so, the ruffians inflicted
a wound, first on the b ick part of her hand, and next a
wound on her throat. The state of disorder which the
house presented favoured the truth of the young woman's
statement, and iu the state she was in it was deemed
necessary to remove her to St. Toomas'e Hospital, and she
was taken there in a cab. The alleged roebery and violence
was of so startling a character, that Mr. Lund, the su-
perintendent of police for the district, felt it necessary to
investigate the circumstances himself, and in this he was
assisted by one of his serjeants, Coppin, 15 P. On ques-
tioning the young woman Constable on the subject, Mr.
Lund found that there was a discrepancy between the
version she gave hint and that which she related on the
return of her master and family. The version which she
gave him (Mr. Lund) and Coppin was this :—Tbat sson
after the family went out she heard a ring at the hell,
and on going up to see who it was the dour flew open,
three men entered, and one of them threw a coat, or
something like it, over her head, and also placed some-
thing, like a plaster over her mouth. He then gave her
a violent blow on the head, forced her down the kitchen
steps, and as she reached the bottom he gave her a
second blow which rendered her insensible. On recover-
ing, she said "You villains, you are murdering me," and
at Vile time she saw one of the men approaching her with
a table knife in his hand, and which he held up in a me-
nacing manner tows rds her. She threw up her hand to
save her neck and face, and in this way it was that she
received tho cut on the hand. The man also drew the
knife across her throat, and she instantly felt the blood
trickle dawn her bosom. She recollected nothing after
this until she found herself alone in the kitchen, and she
instantly rushed to the front door, which she found
closed, opened it, and gave the alarm. When asked
who the men were to whom she had been seen to speak
to at her master's gate and other places in the neighbour-
hood within the fortnight before, she positively denied
having spoken to a single individual. This denial toge-
ther with the fact oilier having stated thatthe front door
was closed when she went to give the alarm, satisfied
the officers of her participation in the robbery. Their
opinion on this point received additional confirmation
by the strong impression on their mind that the wound
in the throat had been done by the young woman her-
self, though the medical officers at St. Thomas's Hos-
pital were of a contrary opinion.
Yesterday, Sergeant Coppin called at the hospital, and
the young woman, Constable, on seeing him approach
her bed, burst into tears and said she should tell the
truth respecting the affair. She then said she had made
the acquaintance of a young man who, with a friend of
his, had called on her on two previous Sunday even-
ings, during the absence of the family at church. Last
Sunday evening be again came by appointment, and being
alone, she asked him where his friend was, and he re-
plied that be was with his young woman, " a stunning
fine girl." She then left him ie the parlour white she
went upstairs to dress, and on coming down they left
the house together. The young man then took hsr to a
public-house where, he said, he expected to see his sister,
and there they had a glass of brandy, anti conversed with
several persons there ; but as the time for the return of
the family approached, she returred home. The young
man accompanied her to the end of toe street, where he
took leave of her, and went in an opposite direction. On
reaching her master's house she found the front door open
and ajar, with a skeleton key in the lock, which stuck so
fast that it could not be removed. She hurried into the
house, and finding that it had been robbed, she took up
a keife, and snigged the beck of her hand with it, to
"make behove" that the thieves did it while she was re-
sisting them. She did not think this enough, and then,
taking up the knife a second time, drew rt 'across her
throat. Coppin endeavoured to get from her a deserip-
tion of the party she had mentioned, but she could not,
or would net, give the slightest information on the sub-
ject ; so that, though there is no doubt of her being
brought to justice herself for the offence, there is every
probability of the thieves escaping. Coppin directed that
the self-wounding patient should be closely watched, and
as soon as she is sufficiently recovered to be removed,
which, it is supposed, will be in the course of a week or
10 days, when she will be taken before a magistrate.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was
held this afternoon, at the London Tavern, Dlshopsgate-
street. Mr. D. Waddington, M.P., in the chair.
Great excitement prevailed at the meeting, in conss-
qu-nce of its being the day for the election of directors
in Cue room of those who retired by rotation,
amongst whom was Mr. Waddington, tEe chair-
man. For an hour previous to the appointed time
for the commencement of the business the room
was nearly filled with shareholders, and at the com-
mencement of the business was densely crowded. Great
confusion and noise prevailed throughout,
The CHAIRNAN on entering the room was received
with a volley or mingled cheers, hisses, hootings, and
other demonstrations according to the feelings of the
respective shareholders to wards him.

Mr. FRANKLYN again complained of the report having
been issued only the night before the meeting., and said
it was t) be regrette 1, more esp:cially on this occasion,
that the report had not Leen issued earlier. He moved
that in future the report should be in the hands of the
shareholders at least a fortnight before the day of meet-
ing.
A SHAREHOLDER seconded the resolution.

The CHAIRMAN said the proceedings were very irre.
gular. If the meeting would decide whether they would
hare the report read, or take it as read, he would after
that address the meeting, and explain the caure of the
delay in the issuing of the report.
The resolution was put and carried unanimously.
The report having been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN said that he addressed them with
feelings of deep anxiety, both on his own account
and on theirs—(laughter) —so that he might be able to
make plain to them that which they might not have
understood, and explain fully and fairly his past con-
duct. All he wished was to he 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. lls. 7d., 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 had been
5,9761. 15s. 7d., and the directors had determined not to
run these boats for the future, not 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 fur the
peat 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 p'ace it in
the most efficient state of repair, and be
hoped they would bo able to come to a satisfactory
understanding as to what amount should be set aside for
the future for 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 half-year, but he looked for-
ward to that unanimity in the future which waa so ne-
cessary for the efficient and satisfactory working of
the line. The working stock was now in an ineffi-
cient order, a large sunk having been expended for
that purpose. Alter alluding to tke opposition lines
proposed to be constructed, and the applications the
directors had made to Parliament, he referred to the
report of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, 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 had 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,
Dr. RILEY' said that a similar promise to that made
that day to Mr. rralakl,l2, was made by the chair-
