LORD CLYDE'S FATHER.—On Saturday last, the
small village of Bunessan, Mull, was honoured by the pre-
sence of Miss Alicia Campbell, better known as Lord Clyde's
sister. Perhaps it is not generally known that Lord Clyde's
father lives, and still enjoys excellent health, in the salubri-
ous climate of Bunessan. Miss Campbell often left, for a
short time, London's gay society to visit her parent in his
Hebridean retreat; but this time she unexpectedly arrived
and gladdened the old gentleman's heart by informing him
that it was her intention to remain with him during his life-
time. We understand that she has taken a quiet rural villa
near Edinburgh, where we have no doubt she will affection-
ately attend him during his life, and close his eyes in death.
Miss Campbell has been separated from her parent from in-
fancy, and brought up amongst her mother's friends. She also
spent many years of her life in London, and it speaks much for
her filial regard and tenderness thus to constitute herself
her father's nurse in his old age. The old gentleman is highly
respected in this country, not only for his being the pro-
genitor of the gallant general, but also for his many good
qualities. The villagers will greatly miss the pleasant
smile and friendly greeting of the kind-hearted old man,
and the poor and needy will have lost a generoua benefactor.
We understand that it is his intention, before leaving, to
place in the hands of the inspector, Mr. Graham, a
handsome supply of clothing, and also some money for the
use of the poor. The old gentleman has now lived upwards
of 30 years in Mull, and in leaving it he carries with him the
respect and good-will of old and young, rich and poor, who
bad the honour of his acquniutance.—Glavoto Daily

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1858.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

NORFOLK.

The 27th half-yearly general meeting of proprietors was
held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. G. P. Biddle in
the chair.

The notice convening the meeting having been read, the
following report, which had been circulated among the
shareholders, was, on the suggestion of the Chairman,
taken as read.

vas engineer of this company, I made it my business to go
into the question of traffic—of what was the value of the
traffic we brought on to the Eastern Counties system, and at
that time it was from £120,000 to £130,000 per annual. We
know now that the general traffic of the Eastern Counties
Company has more than doubled between that period and the
present, and that the Norfolk system has participated fully
in that increase; that instead of that £120,000 to £130,000,
the amounts which we now contribute to the Eastern
Counties must be considerably upwards of £200,000, be-
sides the traffic realised upon our own line. Let me
ask you to consider what would have been our position,
having a large traffic on our own line, and the control of
the traffic contributive to the Eastern Counties line to this
extent of £200,000, if we had sent it elsewhere. We have
lived long enough to see that a railway made from London
to Bristol competeswitk the original railway, the London and
North-Western, for its traffic to Liverpool; that a line passing
through Barnet on its way to York competes with that com-
pany for its Manchester traffic. Between the Great Western
trunk line and Liverpool the line runs through a very diffi-
cult country, and there has been a vast amount of outlay
in its construction. The outlay to connect us with the Great
Northern line would have been very small. The Eastern Union
might have found their way to London by way of Pitsea,
as was shown many years ago. What would have been the
position of the Eastern Counties Company if the Norfolk
Company had carried its traffic to the Great Northern, and
the Eastern Union had diverted its traffic in the way in which
it could have been effected ? I should like to know which
line of railway would have gone out of existence first—the
Norfolk or the Eastern Counties. I should like to know
which company would have lost its dividend first. Ido not
make these remarks with any hostile feeling to the Eastern
Counties Company—quite the reverse—l rejoice that com-
petition is put au end to by wise and conciliatory measures ;
but the advantage of that amalgamation is more in favour of
the Ea-stern Counties Company than of us, and I am glad
of it, for, having secured our object in the amalgama-
tion, the more advantageous that amalgamation became
to the Eastern Counties the better for us. Nevertheless the
hon. proprietor asserts that we are more benefited than the
Eastern Counties Company; and in fact that we should have
had no existence but for the amalgamation. I say that no
man having the slightest knowledge of the district and of
its traffic would venture to have made such an assertion.
It is a baseless assertion, and one which must have been
made in entire ignorance of the circumstances of the case.
Mr. M4LA.REN—What do you say, sir.

" The usual statement of the revenue account of the asso-
ciated companies for, the half-year to the 30th June last, has
been received from the Eastern Counties Railway Company
and appended to this report. The amount credited by the
Eastern Counties Railway Company, and assumed by them
as the proportion of the joint earnings due to the Norfolk
Railway Company, is £42,753 13s. 2d., which, after de-
ducting the interest on guaranteed stccks and loans, leaves
a balance of £13,728 13s, Bd., and enables the directors to
propose a dividend of £1 7s. 6d. per cent. upon the ordinary
stock of the company for the last half-year. The revenue
account of the associated companies had been prepared by
the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and is therefore
based on their view of the agreement of 1854, but this and
the previous half-yearly accounts so furnished have not been
adopted by your directors, who claim a considerable addi-
tion thereto. Taking into account the serious falling off of
railway receipts generally throughout the country, which
has prevailed for a considerable time past, your directors
think that they may congratulate you that the proposed
dividend is only 2s. 6d. less than the one declared for the
corresponding period of last year. Your directors regret
that the various questions in dispute between th's company,
the Eastern Union Railway Company, and the Eastern
Counties Railway Company, as to their respective
rights under the agreement of 1854, remain un-
adjusted ; as they are of opinion it is of the utmost
importance that the legal rights and liabilities of the asso-
ciated companies, under the agreement of 1854, should be
speedily determined as a necessary step to the ultimate
amalgamation of the companies,wbich the act confirming the
agreement provides shall take place not later than the
session of Parliament in 1862. In this view the directors
of the Eastern Union Railway Company cordially concur;
and the solicitors of the two companies, acting under the
advice of ceunsef, have :jointly given notice to the
Eastern Counties Railway Company to render accounts
in accordance with the agreement, including all (traffic
receipts {properly belonging to the common fund, and to
discontinue the deductions authorised thereby. They
further informed them that if they disputed the legal prin-
ciples involved in such deductions and omissions, your
company and the Eastern Union Railway Company were
prepared to concur with them in obtaining from a competent
legal tribunal a conclusive decision in the cheapest and most
expeditious manner; but that if they admitted the princi-
ples contended for by your company and the Eastern Union
Railway Company, and only contested the amounts, then
your company and the Eastern Union Railway Company
were willing to abide by the decision of qualified arbitrators.
To this communication HO reply has been received, and the
two companies have jointly commenced the necessary legal
proceedings for ascertaining their rights and for defining
the duties and functions of the joint committee. The bills
promoted by the East Suffolk Railway Company, adverted
to at the last half-yearly meeting of the proprietors, were
modified in committee of the House of Commons, so as to
secure the rights of your company, and to render their assent
and that of the Eastern Union Railway Company necessary
in any traffic arrangements with the Eastern Counties Rail-
way Company under such acts."

The CHAIRMAN—That it is a baseless assertion, which
must have been made in entire ignorance of the circum-
stances of the case.
Mr. M'LAREN—I shall reply to you presently.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report
and balance-sheets appended thereto, said—Gentlemen, it is
my intention to offer a few observations with reference to the
present position of the company, but before doing so I feel
it necessary to call attention—although it is with great regret
I do se—to some observations made by an honourable pro-
prietor at our last special meeting. That gentleman made
certain charges which had especial reference to myself and
the directors—to myself as formerly the engineer of the
company, and which also had reference to the position of the
company. Those charges I find have been reported in full,
but the reply which I was called upon to make, it so hap-
pened, was not reported, owing to some inadvertence on the
part of the gentlemen of the press who were present. I am
quite sure it is only necessary that I should mention this
fact to ensure the appearance of what I now say in reply
to that gentleman, in order that it may be circulated among
the proprietors of this company. The charge made by that
gentleman was to the effect that the works of the Norfolk
Company, of which I was engineer, were so exceedingly
defective in their construction that they entailed upon the
Eastern Counties Company an outlay of between £200,000
and £300,000, when they took that line into their own
hands, to put it into efficient order—a very serious charge,
indeed, if true. He also said we ought not to be very press-
ing in any pecuniary matters, because, in addition to the
Eastern Counties Company sustaining considerable loss by
the amalgamation between the companies, particularly with
the Norfolk, if it had not been for that amalgamation
the Norfolk Railway at this moment would scarcely
have been in existence. I am happy to see that the gentle-
man to whom I allude is present, because the remarks I
feel called upon to make I should have made with great
reluctance in his absence. That gentleman is known as
having a considerable reputation for his knowledge of
figures. He is known to have taken for many years a very
warm interest in the Eastern Counties affairs. There is
scarcely a meeting at which that gentleman has not ad-
dressed the shareholders, and it cannot be supposed that he
is not familiar with the reports of that company. At all
events, before he made these charges, be must have been fami-
liar with them, or if not, he ought to have been, for he had
theopportunity of becoming so. That gentleman has charged
this company with delivering over the line to the Eastern
Counties Company in such a state of defect as to render ne-
cessary an outlay of between £200,000 and £300,000.
What are the facts ? When the late superintendent
vacated his position in that company, and when it
became known that the state of the permanent way
generally in the Eastern Counties district was not
so satisfactory as it ought to have been, a report in
full was made by their late superintendent, Mr. Brough.
That report was communicated in a detailed form to the
Eastern Counties directors in the beginning of 1856, and
was embodied in their report to the proprietors in February
of that year. Now, gentlemen, just mark the facts. We
are charged with handing over a line of from 92 to 93 miles
ha length in such a condition that an outlay of between
£200,000 and £300,000, as I have stated, was entailed upon
the Eastern Counties Company. Now, the total cost esti-
mated in February, 1856, for the whole system of Eastern
Counties lines was £150,000, not for 90 miles, but for nearly
500 miles; and, instead of £300,000 for placing the Norfolk
line in order, £33,000 was the cost. I say, that a gentle-
man coming here and making that charge, having the
means of correcting himself at command, is liable
to the accusation of being guilty of conduct which
ought to be discountenanced by the proprietors. But
he may say that £33,000 did not represent the actual
cost, because, in the report of 1857, when the repairs
were nearly completed, it was found that the £33,000 had
amounted to £62,000. I do not know whether £62,000 is
the correct figure or not, but it is a curious fact that the
estimate for the Eastern Counties system generally was
£126,000, and the actual cost was £124,000, whereas the
cost of the Norfolk line has been swelled from £33,000 to
£62,000. The fact may be so, but I believe in that £62,000
is included other expenditure than that due to the mere
renewal of the Norfolk Company's works. But I think I
have already shown enough to prove that that gentleman's
figures are a mere piece of poetry, and very bad poetry
indeed. (Cheers.) Before I leave this subject I should like
to call attention tu what are the facts really connected with
the circumstances under which this company's works were
handed over to the Eastern Counties Company. The
Eastern Counties Company have had the control over this
line since 1848 or 1849. The superintendent of the Eastern
Counties Railway, who has had the entire control of our
works and line, was a gentleman who bad a considerable
interest in a company which possessed a very valuable
patent with reference to permanent way, and which was not
so well established then as now. It was very desirable that
should be introduced on the Eastern Counties
line,the stesyinomrder to obtain the advantage of that means of ad-
vertising its merits. But it was necessary to show that it
was economical, and that the introduction of the system
would be attended with useful results; and so it was that
from half-year to half-year reports were made to the direc-
tors, and by them circulated among the proprietors, show-
ing that £9O per mile per annum was the whole cost of the
maintenance of the permanent way, leaving a small surplus.
But in order to do this I knew from my own personal know-
ledge that a great deal of liberty had been taken with the
Norfolk Railway. I knew that rails had been removed and
healtdings had been taken
timber had been taken

up an
from our bridges, to save expense elsewhere; and when that
gentleman vacated his position in that company in the abrupt
way in which he left, be took all his superintendents with
him, and the responsibility then devolved on Mr. Brough.
I did not know the full extent of the dilapidations, but I
knew enough to caution Mr. Brougb, before he took the re-
sponsibility, to have a careful investigation into the state of
the works. He did so, and then arose the exposition of the
alarming state of that railway. It is curious enough, although
sidings had been removed and used elsewhere, no new sidings
was laid down on the Norfolk line without oar company
being called upon to contribute their ota towards its cost.
The directors of the Eastern Counties Company, I am bound
to say, and even the original directors, were not at all cogni-
sant of what was done; it was done upon the sole respsnsi-
bility of the superintendent, who, I believe, carefully kept
from them the whole of the proceedings which he adopted in
regard tolithose works. The second charge brought forward
by the hon. proprietor, as I have already stated, is that a loss
has been sustained by the Eastern Counties Company in con-
sequence of the amalgamation—an annual loss; and that if
it had not been for the amalgamation the Norfolk Company
would not now have been in existence. I do not think it
necessary to say that I attached the slightest weight to that
gentlemen's statement, and I do not think you will con-
sider it as deserving of much consideration; but the state-
ment having been made, there are some circumstances con-
nected with our position with the Eastern Counties Com-
pany which render it desirable that I should offer some ex_
plaaation for your satisfaction, but not because I think it ne-
cessary to reply to that gentleman's figures now or at any
future time; for after what he stated at the last meeting I
should not place any confidence in his figures, because if he
did not know them to be untrue at the time he ought to have
known it, liiAny yore before the AmelPrnAtion, who I

The CIIAIRMAN—Of course you will. With regard to
the extensions, great outcry has been raised that the Eastern
Counties has been damaged by its extensions and alliances.
That is not the case ; but the difficulties which the company
has bad to contend with have arisen entirely from the outlay
on the construction of the original line from London to Col-
chester, and so great was the cost of this portion of the line
that even now the outlay on it has hardly resulted in sufficient
to pay the debenture interest, and the dividend which has
been paid on the Eastern Counties stock is entirely owing to
the receipts from its extensions. I shall new dismiss that
Part of the subject, and come to that which is more interest-
ing to you, viz., the terms upon which we now stand with
the Eastern Counties Company. You are all aware there are
many matters of account in dispute between us, and also a
matter with regard to the functions of the joint committee.
We felt it our duty to take such proceedings as were neces-
sary in order to obtain an issue under circumstances of some
difficulty; in order, in fact, to secure a legal decision ; but I
think I am justified in saying with regard to the matters of
account, if I may rely, which I feel I may do, upon the asser-
tions of the chairman of the Eastern Counties Company, that
it will not be long before these matters are, at all events,
adjusted, and I hope adjusted to your satisfaction. I trust
you will excuse my going into them in detail, because in legal
proceedings we are obliged to go to the full extent of what we
consider our rights, and to make certain legal demands, but
some of those demands we may, I think, although entitled
to enforce them, in fairness and equity to some extent
modify. Ido not think it right to state figures now, ex-
cept in so far as regards the lull amount of our demand in
a legal point of view, which would be £6,000 or £7,000
a-year; but a considerable abatement from, that demand
ought to be made if we meet in a fair spirit, as I think we
shall. (Cheers.) But another subject of importance is
with regard to the subject of the joint committee. You are
all aware that the Eastern Counties Company are hound
to work this line at 46 per cent. per annum. There-
fore, in regard to the management of the concern,
or the executive, we cannot and ought not to
interfere. Considering, however, that the two com-
panies, the Norfolk and Eastern, Union represent up-
wards of £5,000,000 of capital, and nearly 190 miles
of railway, we think we ought to have a voice in the
traffic arrangements—that is, in the adjustment of fares and
rates and trains. On that point the Eastern Counties Com-
pany entirely differ from us. When you consider how the
Eastern Counties Company are now situated with regard to
the Northern and Eastern and the East Anglian; that there
are seven directors, five from the Northern and Eastern and
two from the East Anglian, representing a far less capital
than we do; that they have the power of nominating seven
out of 15 directors; and that this company has no voice
whatever in the matter, I think you will agree with me
that it is hardly a fair state of things. It is very
much for the advantage of the Eastern Counties Company,
as well as ourselves, that this state of things should be
changed. We believe that we are entitled, and that the
joint committee is legally entitled, to have the entire control
of the traffic arrangements. lam quite satisfied that the
original agreement for an amalgamation ascribed to that
committee those functions, but, as far as I can understand,
the Eastern Counties Company think that the Act of
Parliament which has confirmed that amalgamation has
altered that state of things. We have taken the highest
legal opinions upon the subject, and we are advised that
the act does not alter the agreement, that it rather con-
firms the agreement than anything else, and that our
right to have a voice in the general management of the
Eastern Counties system is certain. But I would make
this observation, that if the agreement were affected by the
act, it is under circumstances very peculiar, because, when
the act for amalgamation was applied for, the directors of
this company and of the Eastern Union, in common with the
Eastern Counties Company, had the highest confidence in
the solicitor of the Eastern Counties Company, a man whose
name it is only necessary to mention in order to know how
high his position is in the City, and what entire confidence
every man has in him—no man would hesitate for a moment,
wherever that gentleman might be engaged, to rely im-
plicitly on his fully carrying out any engagement he might
make ; if, therefore, there be any alteration in the clause
affecting our agreement, it would be one for which that
gentleman would be responsible, and not made with the con-
currence of the associated companies at the time ; and
therefore I feel certain that if the Act of Parliament contains
anything which affects the original agreement, we shall be
afforded relief, and that gentleman will see that justice is
done to us. But, under any circumstances, we are deter-
mined to persevere in maintaining as your trustees a right
to a voice in the general management of the traffic of the
Eastern Counties system. I may say, gentlemen, I cannot
blame the Eastern Counties Company for the course they
have taken. On the contrary, they are fully entitled, if they
are advised that their legal position is different from that
which we believe it to be, to adopt the course which they
have thought proper to do. I cannot complain that they
are taking every step for the maintenance of the rights of
their shareholders. With regard to Mr. Love, although my
acquaintance with that gentleman has arisen since my con-
nection with this company, I am bound to say that I believe
him to be a gentleman whose assiduity and great zeal for
the interests:of the Eastern Counties shareholders entitle him
to the highest praise. He works incessantly, and I believe for
the single object of promoting the interests of the Eastern
Counties shareholders. lam quite certain that if there is any-
thing that gentleman is more anxious about than another,
it is that he should build a reputation on the restora-
tion of that company to a state of success and prosperity.
I think it but right to bear testimony to his zeal and anxiety
for the interests of his constituents. At the same time I may
differ from him in thinking that he is pursuing altogether
that course which is most likely to conduce to the object be
has in view. I think, when he has made himself more inti-
mately acquainted with the value of the traffic of that dis-
trict, and the working of railways in general, he will find
that, instead of contesting every minute point,fit will be
more for the interest of the company to deal with such ques-
tions in a wise and comprehensive spirit. In so doing he
will be promoting not only the interests of the shareholders
of this company, but of the associated companies and of the
public in general. But whatever may be the result of
that gentleman's exertions I am sure he will only take
that course which he believes to be for the interest of
his own shareholders, and that I admit is a course he ie
bound to adopt. Now, I think we may have been of some
use on that traffic committee. Mr. Cobbold, the chairman of '
the Eastern Union Railway Company, has bad, no doubt,
great experience in the traffic of his own district. Mr. T
and myself, I venture to think, from many years' connection
with the Norfolk Railway, could have made some useful
suggestions also as to the traffic of our district. We believe
that the traffic is not now accommodated as it ought to be,
and that therefore it is not properly developed. Particu-
larly, I thick, that the sea-ports—in which the Eastern
Counties are peculiarly rich, being only inferior to the South-
Eastern—are not properly accommodated. That at Yarmouth
and Lowestoft the trains are too few, and not at convenient
hours. When I see at the present moment, at the other end
of the line, that the traffic to the Victoria Docks amounts to
between 11,000 and 12,000 passengers per week, from the
Brunswick Wharfto the Victoria Dock entrance, and that full
omnibuses are running all day long from Stratford to London,
I cannot help thinking that the metropolitan traffic is capable
of much greAter development, and of bong made, therefore,
