holding among them 1,000 deferred shares, being also the
proprietors of 100 new shares each, on which all calls are
paid, and which shares they intend to hold—ence more
recommend the project to the old Newry and Enniskillen
shareholders, whose co-operation in raking new shares they
again specially invite; feeling convinced that the proposed
line, estimated by its cost of constzuctinn and the traffic
and dividends paid on lines in immediate contiguity to it,
coupled with their cost of cozstroction, cannot but prove
highly remunerative. The fact of the old shares being de-
ferred in point of Interest to the new, your directors consi-
der as an additional argument in favour of a portion of
the new shares being taken up by the old proprietors, by
which means the extension line will be more rapidly
pushed towards completion, and of course be sooner
placed in a dividend-paying position to the new as well as
the old shareholders. $o fully satisfied were the English
directors that the old Newry and Enniskillen line, on account
of its very limited length, never could be worked to pay a
dividend, and that the only salvation of the property con-
sisted in the present extension being speedily carried out (no
legal or Parliamentary power existing on their part to sell
or lease the line to any other company) that in order to
provide the funds necessary to lodge the Parliamentary
deposit, in 1856, they raised the sum of £lB,OOO upon
loan from the Union Bank of London, and have during
the past half year paid off (out of their own resources)
the sum of L 1,500 each on account of such loan ; for
which amount they respectively stand as creditors in the
books of the company. This fact as to the subscribed
er borrowed capital has been stated at several public
meetings held is Ireland, previous and subsequent to the
passing of the bill, to the Committees of both Houses of
Parliament, and is well known to the proprietors; and the
sum of £12,750, the Parliamentary deposit lodged in the
bands of the Accountant-General, Ireland, which has been
considerably augmented by additions and accumulations,
stands as a credit to the new company, as shown in all
the accounts submitted to the proprietors since the
reincorporation of the company. Four of your direc-
tors, viz , Mr. C. H. Battimore, Mr. James Ander-
ton, Mr. J. R. Burbridge, and Mr. G. E. Taunton, retire
at this meeting by rotation; and the three fernier gentle-
men, being all eligible, hare given notice of their intention
to offer themselves for re-election, and will be proposed ac-
cordingly. Mr. Taunton does not intend to offer himself for
re-election—his other avocations not permitting him to devote
his time to the interests of the company; and due notice has
been given that Mr. Elias Davis, of 54, Tavis•ock-square,
London, a gentleman influentially connected in the city of
London, and the holder of 257 deferred shares is the com-
pany, will be propos, d as a director, to supply the vacancy
at the London board caused by Mr. Taunton's retire-
ment During the past half-year Mr. Lupton, one of your
directors—not deeming his position as director of your
company and the Warrenpoint Company altogether com-
patible—resigned his office as a director of your com-
pany; and Mr. M'Culla, of Newry and Armagh, late an
auditor of the company, was accordingly appointed to
the vacant seat at your board in Ireland. It will be
the province of the meeting (if thought advisable) to
elect another auditor in his stead, and Mr. E. Jeggins,
one of the English auditors, who retires by rotation, hut is
eligible, has given notice of his intention to offer himself fir
re-election. Your directors being desirous of retaining your
confidence, and being satisfied with the ultimate results of
the line, when completed to Armagh, again repeat their
former pledge not to seek for any remuneration for their
services until after a dividend has been declared to the share-

holders, except only for such sums as they have actually
paid out of pocket in attending the board and half-yearly
meetings, one half of which it is proposed to charge to new
capital, and the other half to revenue."

MEETING of MIDDLES EX MA GISTRATES.

A meeting of the magistracy of tie metropolitan county
wits held yesterday, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell—Mr.
Henry Pownall in the chair—to transact the ordinary bust-
s 4. The most important notices on the paper, relating to
neg.tations between the Metropolitan Railway Company and
a committee of justices as to the proposal to make a tunnel
under the House of Correction, Celdhath-fields, and the
expenditure contemplated for the enlargement of that
prison, were postponed, the Chairman stating, in answer
to Lord Ebury, that no definite answer had been received
fro►n the company. Upon the report of the Committee for
Finance and General Purposes, certain fees charged in
the coroners' accounts were disallowed as usual, and a
letter was read from Mr. Baker respecting the dis-
pute between the court and the coronets on this subject,
in which that gentleman said there was an end of all confi-
dence between him and the committee. It appeared from
the prison reports that there were in Coldhath-fields 1,325
prisoners—felons, 676 ; misdemeanants, 470 ; vagrants, 170;
in Westminster Bridewell, LOW ; and in the House of De-
tention, 231—total, 2,585. An election of matron for the
Westminster Bridetvell took place. There were five candi-
dates selected, of whom Mrs. Susanna Maria Biiliter was
successful, receiving 30 votes, the next 7, and the three
others nil. The basis or standard for the new county rate
was taken into consideration and acopted. An amendment
was prop,:sed by Mr. F. Chalmers, and seconded by Mr.
Bird, to refer the basis hackto the committee for recon•i.lera-
tion on the ground Oat the prit elide upon which tt any f
(rronftw• ; ill, it cuss neea•
tivtit, and tie Cola held that any parish might arpeal
which thought itself aggrieved by the new assessment. The
old assessment was £8,427,236 ; the new one is £9,166,827,
which, allowing fur a deerease, gives a net it:crease of
£730,491. It was rcp•rted to the Court that a prisoner in
tie House of Correction, named Thomas Page, had received
36 lashes with the cat-o'•nine tails for having struck one of
the officers with a cell pot, and that in the Westminster
Bridewell there had been tour cases of choleraic diarrhoea,
which bad been successfully treated by the surgeon. An
increase of £l5 per annum was made to tire remuneration
of Joseph Ingall, who has charge of the ventilation of the
sessions houses. The usual formal business was gone through,
and the rates, under the Mutiny Act, having been fixed, the
Count adjourned.

The Royal Mail packet Tamar, which left South
ampton with the Brazil mail on the 9th, arrived at Lisbon
early on the morning of the 13th, having made the passage
in 3i days.
NVRECK OF THE SCREW STEAMER TIMEs.-IVEsT
HARTLEPOOL, August 24.—The captain and crew of the
late screw-steamer Times, of the port of London, arrived
here this morning and reported the loss of their vessel on
Sunday afternoon, about 35 miles off' the land. The Times
was a trader between Newcastle' on-Tyne and Holland, and
left the port of Haarlincen, in the latter place, on Saturday,
with a cargo of cattle for Newcas'le. The weather was then
perfectly fine, and continued so during the remainder of the
passage. About two Web- k on Sunday, without any pee-
vious warning, the shaft of the screw propeller suddenly
broke near the stern-post and burst the stuffing box, tearing
away the thick metal plates. The water rushed into the
leak in spite of the efforts made to stop it, and in twenty
minutes it bad reached and extinguished the engine fires,
and speedily filled the whole of the aftermost part of the
vessel. The bulk-head fortunately sufficed for a consider-
able time to keep the vessel afloat, and enabled the. crew
to save a good part of their property. The captain and
crew took to the boats at 5 p.m., and lay by the steamer till i
8, when she went down, about 35 miles off the land. The
boats then shaped their course for the shore, which they
reached at 6 o'clock this morning, making the fishing village
of Scotches, whence they were towed here by a tug. After
in
leaving the wrecked steamer the boats fell
with the
schooner Clown, of Aberdeen, Nicholls, master, who took
the crew on board, and kindly treated them till they de-
parted. 'They
afterwards fell in with a Danish schooner,
which they also hoarded, and the captain of which enter-
tained them hospitably. The Times was the property of Mr.
J. Vaneppen, was 184 tons register, and insured.
