appointed for two o'clock, at which time the course was

SUBMARINE TELEGBAPII.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern— Sir J. Carmichael
in the chair.

The report was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, called the attention of the shareholders to
the progress which has been made during the past
half-year. It had been most satisfactory, consider-
ing the monetary crisis and the Continental war.
They were surprised that the receipts had kept up,
which had been done, however, entirely on the
French and Belgian cables. He believed the changes
which had taken place on the Continent would not
be prejudicial to the company, and in a short time
arrangements would be made with the North Ger-
man States by which they would get back all their
lost traffic. With reference to the monetary crisis,
they had not lost one single penny during the dis-
astrous period which had but lately been passed.
(Hear.) Their banks had been one of those which
had succumbed, yet the company had escaped from
any loss. (Hear.) With reference to the resolution
passed at the last meeting for putting by a portion
of their profits for the repair of cables, the intention
of that resolution had been carried out. They had
resolved at the last meeting to put aside for repair
of cables £3,000 every six months. That sum had
been put by, accordingly, in certain proportions.
The successful completion of the Atlantic cable was
a subject of congratulation to all those interested in
submarine telegraphy. Those persons who had been
engaged on its completion deserved the greatest
praise. It was owing to the enterprise and capital
of their company
that submarine telegraphy was
first established. He was sure the more those long
lines were developed and worked the better it would
be for them. In a few years submarine telegraphy
would be in quite a different position from what it
ivas at the present time. Their receipts had gone
up in a most satisfactory manner since peace had
been restored on the Continent. He then moved
the adoption of the report.
In answer to a question, he stated that he hoped

Bright represents it, whether the working classes
should be admitted to a share of political power.
They possess that share. It was not whether that
share should be enlarged. That point was scarcely
raised on the Liberal side, and certainly not con-
troverted on the other. The issues raised by the,
Gladstone-Bright Reform Bills were shortly and
chiefly these. Whether the share of political power„
enjoyed by the urban population, already out of all
proportion to their wealth and numbers, should be
enormously increased ? To this the Conserva,tiveB
returned a decided negative. Secondly, whether a
reduction of the franchise from £lO to £7 in bo-
roughs would, as the late Ministers, and notably
Mr. Forster, contended, have the effect of enfran-
chising the elite of the working class without giving
them an absolute control of the election—a rest
which all admitted to be desirable—or whether is
would result in the ascendancy of a single class 1,11
all the greater towns, and add enormously in a"
others to the mass of corruptible voters, which 11;
already the nuisance and scandal of our electoral
system? Whichever conclusion were adopted there
could be no insult offered, as there was none in-
tended, to the working classes. The question '3l
class ascendancy was one of figures ; the questiell
of corruption one:of historical experience. Thetr;
guments of Mr. Lowe, so much perverted and Ps'
grossly abused, were d'rectecl to slioiv that in the
places where corruption already prevails to a large
extent, a reduction cf the franchise, by introducing
a poorer and more dependent body of voters, would
increase the evil ; a conclusion which seems too ob-
vious to be disputed, and too harmless to provek6
any resentment, inasmuch as it simply assumed OP
human nature is the same in the artisan as in tile
shopkeeper, in the £7 householder as in his ,n
neighbour. It is simply untrue that Parliament de.
decided against enfranchising the elite of the work'
ing class. That question was never put : it were
put it would certainly not be answered in the nee:
tive. What Parliament did decide was that the bill
of the late Government was not a right, safe, or jllB4
way of attaining that and several other objects pre'
posed ; and of that decision no one is entitled t°l
complain who does not think that his judgment and
knowledge, as to the operation of such a measure,
are sounder and deeper than those of the majority
of the House of Commons.

irregular. Beans are progressing favourably. The gra:t
lands are in splendid condition. At to-day's corn inarkw

THE WAY CRIME IS ENCOURAGED.—Anne Pearse, a
young woman of the town, was charged with stealing a
gold Albert chain horn the person.
William Maitland, a carpenter, of 12, Cornwall-street,
Fulham, said that at half-past 12 that morning he vt as
returning home near Buckingham Palace, slightly ine-
briated, and met the prisoner, who accosted and walked
some distance with him. Ile found all on a sudden that
his watch chain was gone, and gave prisoner into custody.
It was found on her.
Charles Farwell, 521 A, said ho was on Constitution-
hill that morning, and the prosecutor gave prisoner into
custody. When he went to take the prisoner the chain
was in her pocket, and she threw it on the pavement. Ho
took her to the station. The prosecutor had his watch in
his pocket, and said the prisoner took that also, but when
asked for it she threw it on the pavement, and he picked

it up.
Prisoner denied the statement of the constable ; said the
prosecutor had dropped the watch and chain, and she
picked them up only returning the watch.
This the prosecutor denied.
Prisoner then said she was ashamed to say how she
came by the chain,
Mr. Selfe cautioned her as to her future conduct, and,
after telling her she would get in trouble next time, dis-
charged her.

ing an increase of £542 on the main line over the
same period of last year. The working expenses
showed a considerable decrease as compared with the
corresponding period.. The balance available for

£6,785, out of which the directors recommended a
dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum on the
A, B, C, and D 5 per cent preference shares (being
2 per cent. per annum on account of arrears), which
would absorb £5,880. In payment of a dividend at
the rate of £5 19s. per cent. per annum on the E 41
per cent, preference shares (being £1 14s. per cent.
per annum on account of arrears) which would ab-
sorb £329 ; and in the first payment on account of
arrears on E preference shares, £407, leaving a ba-
lance of £169. After the above payments had been
made, the arrears on the 5 per cent. preference shares
would amount to 11 per cent., or £2,100, and on

leaving a balance of £4,492. An act for the con-
struction of a railway from Downpatrick, through

sent, and they had agreed towork theline onfavour-
able terms. The total expenditure on capitalaccount
amounted to £681,461, including £78,960 for the
Donaghadee Extension. The revenue account for the
half-year showed that £19,928 had been received,
and £9,891 expended, leaving a balance of £10,037.
