RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

Sir R. PEEL asked the President of the Board of Trade
whether his attention had been directed by the Govern-
ment inspectors of railways to the alarming condition of
several of the arches of the viaduct spanning the Tame
Valley, near Tamworth, on the Midland line of Railway,
and inquired what steps had been taken by the Board of
Trade is the matter, with a view to the protection of life
and property 7

Mr. M. GIBSON said ho had not been able to obtain
so much information as he desired. The accident alluded
to took place on that part of Midland Railway opened in
1839, at which time the Board of Trade had no power of
inspection. Ho would look into the matter more closely,
and let the right hon. baronet know the result.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (Evening).
The Federal Commission appointed to investigate the
Bagdad affair have made their report, in which the blame
in the matter is thrown upon General Crawford. The re-
port also states that the Federal soldiers engaged in the
affair were acting contrary to the orders given them, and
that they were sent to Bagdad at the request of the Mexi-
can Republican authorities to keep order.
General Weitzel has arrived at New Orleans. He has
stated that he did not think Mexico worth fighting for,

STAINES, WOKINGII" AND WOKING.

The report of the directors states that the receipts
on capital account d thelast half-year amounted
to £645, being the produce of the sale of the residue
of the company's surplus land. During the past year
debentures for £1,825 bearing 42 per cent. interest
had fallen due, of which £1,250 had been renewed
at the same rate, and £575 at 44 per cent. The total
increase in passenger and goods traffic during the
past half-year amounted to £739, as compared with
the same half of 1864. The Chertsey and Virginia
Water Railway would be opened shortly, from which
beneficial results were anticipated. The line from
Blackwater to Sunningdale was likewise under con-
struction, which the directors thought, when com-
pleted, must add to the traffic of the line. The sum
to the credit of profit and loss was £3,208, out of
which the directors recommended a dividend at the
rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the preference
shares, less income tax, and 3s. per share, or 1 per
cent. per annum, on the ordinary shares, also less
income tax, leaving £9B to be carried forward. The
capital account showed that £393,587 had been
expended, leaving a balance of £1,493. The traffic
receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of Decem-
ber amounted to £10,709, and the expenditure to
£5,476, leaving a balance of £5,233.

LLANBERIS AND CARNARVON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Victoria-street, Westmin-
ster ; Mr. Turner in the chair.
The report stated that since September last consi-
derable progress had been made with the works on
the line. Negotiations with the London and North
Western Railway Company for the working of the
company's lines had been brought to a satisfactory
conclusion. The agreement not being in a suffi-
ciently advanced state, the directors proposed to
adjourn the meeting to the 10th of April next. The
London and North Western Railway Company were
to subscribe one-4alf the cost of the connecting line
at Carnarvon, and to work the railway for 50 per
cent. of the gross receipts. _ _ _

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the works on the line were going on
very satisfactory.
Mr. WILSON seconded the motion, which was car-
ried unanimously.

The meeting was then made special, and the direc-
tors were authorised to borrow on mortgage or de-
benture bonds any sum or sums not exceeding in
the whole the amount authorised.

The meeting was adjourned to the 10th April next.

RIIYMNEY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the Gray's-inn Coffeehouse, Holborn
—Mr. Boyle in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN said the dividend which last year
had undergone a temporary depression was again at
its old figure. The result was mainly owing to the
great success which had attended the opening of the
branch lines, the traffic on which had been very
productive, with every prospective of an increase.
Mr.RoY secohded the motion, which was agreed to.

A dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum
was then declared, and Messrs. Gilliott and Boyle,
the retiring directors, were re-elected.

The meeting was then made special, and an agree-
ment between the company and the trustees of the
Marquis of Bute was unanimously adopted, and the
proceedings terminated.

DUBLIN, WICKLOW, AND WEXFORD.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN.

Sin,—ln this author's stanzas, published by you
last evening, the word "it" was omitted before the
word "not" in the fifth line. Also, " Prior's
march" should have been "Ruin's march" in order
to make good sense. Grose in the third volume of
his Antiquities (1775)
and the Penny Magazine for
the month of October, 1844, well described the
former and latter steps of the " march," between
the years 1761 and 1844.
It is remarkable that 'William Cobbett, neither
in his charming " Rural Rides," nor in his " His-
tory of the Protestant Reformation," ever alluded
to Newark, or Newstead Priory, although he has
described at length the other doings of the like
kind in Surrey and elsewhere, in burning language.

being the only one which retains all the marked specialities

suming the title of Christy Minstrels possesses a single in-
dividual member of the least distinction who belonged to the
original troupe. The Christys (after an absence of five years)
return to London with their band strengthened and im-
proved in every respect, their entertainment being unani-
mously pronounced by the metropolitan press to be the most
sparkling in London.

was, that they had never employed their fighting
powers in a bad cause, but strictly in self-defence ;
and the third cause was that the directors had al-
ways framed their policy on the assumption that
they should hold possession of their district so long,
and so long only, as the majority of thinking men
in that district believed that they were as well
served by this company as they would be if they
had other companies in the district. (Applause.)
He alluded to the successful policy of the company
in reducing the fares, increasing the accommoda-
tion to the public, and laying out capital in develop-
ing the district, and stated, if they retained posses-
sion of the district for a few years longer, this would
be one of the cheapest and best served districts in
the country, so far as railway accommodation went.
(Applause.)
Mr. LEEMAN, M.P., seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report, which, after some discus-
sion, was agreed to.

Dividends were then declared on the ordinary
stock and shares in the Berwick at the rate of 6i
per cent. per annum, on York ordinary stock at the
rate of 6i per cent. per annum, on Leeds ordinary
stock at the rate of 4k per cent. per annum, on the
Thirsk and Malton stock at the rate of 2 per cent.
per annum, on the ordinary stock of the Carlisle at
8i per cent. per annum, and on the Darlington
ordinary stock at 91 per cent. per annum.

borrowing powers sanctioned in the Amalgamation
Act, 1865.

was, that they had never employed their figt ding
powers in a bad cause, but strictly in self-defentce ;
and the third cause was that the directors had al-
ways framed their policy on the assumption that
they should hold possession of their district so long,
and so long only, as the majority of thinking men
in that district believed that they were as, well
served by this company as they would be if they
had other companies in the district. (Applause.)
He alluded to the successful policy of the company
in reducing the fares, increasing the accw,nmoda-
tion to the public, and laying out capital in. develop-
ing the district, and stated, if they retained posses-
sion of the district for a few years longer, this would
be one of the cheapest and best served districts in
the country, so far as railway accommodation went.
(Applause.)
Mr. LEEMAN, M.P., seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report, which, after some discus-
sion, was agreed to.

Dividends were then declared on the ordinary
stock and shares in the Berwick at the rate of 61
per cent. per annum, on York ordinary stock at the
rate of 61 per cent. per annum, on Leeds ordinary

The meeting also authorised the exercise of the

GAS COMPANIES.

Captain GRIDLEY moved for return or statement from
every gas company established by Act of Parliament in
the United Kingdom, stating the several Acts of Parlia-
ment under which established ; the rates per 1,000 cubic
feet at which such company have supplied gas in the
years 1864 and 1865, and the average price of the coal
used by the company in each year for the same period;
also stating the:amount of fxed capital invested by each
gas company, and the rate per cent. of dividend to the
shareholders or proprietors on their shares iu each year.
The return was ordered.
NATIONAL FAST.

Sir B. BRIDGES asked the Secretary of State for the
Homo Department whether it was the intention of tho
Government to recommend the appointment of a day for
national fast and humiliation, in consequence of the national
calamity of the cattle plague ?
Sir G. GREY said the opinion of the Government was
clearly expressed in the letter he had addressed to the
Archbishop of Canterbury. He thought it much better to
trust in the voluntary means now in progress rather than
to issue an order in Council. Days of fast were now being
set apart in certain places by the clergy, on which God's
blessing was asked on the measures which had been taken
to stop the cattle plague.

NORTH-EASTERN.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held at York ; Mr. H. S. Thompson pre-
sided. _ _ _

The "seal was affixed to the register of 17,000
shareholders, and the report, an abstract of which
has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read.
_ _ .

The CHAIRMAN said that the increase of gross re-
ceipts in the past half-year was £102,001, and the
increase of net profits £60,219. He thought that
this was a very satisfactory result, considering that
the price of almost everything they had to pur-
chase, as well as wages, had increased. The net
increase had been fairly and honestly earned. As
to the school fund for the education of the children ,
of the workmen employed by the company at the
Tyne Dock, what the directors contemplated was,
that if the shareholders put into their hands
sufficient funds, they would build one or more
school-houses there. When the schools were
built, the Government allowance and the school
pence would, no doubt, be sufficient to keep the
school in an efficient state ; but he thought it was a
public duty that they who, for the purposes of pro-
fit, drew together many hundreds of workmen to a
place where there was no accommodation for them to
have a place where their children might be educated.
(Applause.) About £6OO had been received to-
wards the proposed object, but that would not be
sufficient to build the schools. With regard to the
traffic, the year 1865 had been a year of very brisk
trade in their district, and the result had been that
the receipts in 1865 above those of 1864 amounted
to £174,426 of gross revenue, the receipts of 1864
being £353,107 above those of 1863. This was a
progressive increase, and showed that the measures
they had adopted had not been been barren of re-
sults. The season having been remarkably fine and
dry they had made considerable progress with the
works, and they had been enabled to open the Mar-
ket Weighton and Beverley line, the Utley branch,
the Whitby deviation, and the Castleton Grosmont
branch, which had added about 40 miles to the
length of railway. Considerable progress had also
been made with other works which have not yet been
completed, but the most remarkable feature of the
year 1865 was the very successful result of their Par-
liamentary Session. This company had never ap-
plhliaeeuydsie.

hadt
not succeeded in obtaining, and no attempt to

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday, before Mr. Smith, the following rail-
way bills complied with the standing orders :
Wye Valley and the City and London-bridge. In
the case of the Tavistock and Gunnislake and the
South Wiltshire Junction the standing orders were
not complied with. The consideration of the Long-
harne bill was postponed until the 22d inst. There
was no appearance for the Midland and South
Wales Junction. The Hyde-pier Tramways was
the only railway bill heard before Mr. Frere, and
the standing orders were not complied with.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.
Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held at the London Tavern—Mr. H.
Moor in the chair.
The report of the directors stated that there bad
been an increase in the receipts compared with the
corresponding period of last year of £2,390, and
that after charging the revenue with £5,599 for re-
pairs to cables there remained a surplus which
enabled them to recommend a dividend for the
half-year at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The
usual 10 per cent. of the gross receipts had been
added to the reserve fund, which now amounted to
£17,948.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the accounts were very satisfactory,
and a reduction having been made in the foreign
tariff a further increase of profits might be expected.
The Board suggested to the proprietors the expe-
diency for having a fixed sum allowed for the repair
of cables, and thought that £3,000 every half-year
might be sufficient, £5,300 a year having been the
average amount for the last six years.
The motion that the report be adopted, and a
dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, pay-
able on March 1, was carried unanimously.
It was agreed that £3,000 per half. year should be
set aside for the repair of cables, and the proceedings
terminated.

On the motion that this bill be read a second time,

Mr. 'WATKINS moved, as an amendment, that it be

sought to upset the deliberate opinion of a committee of
that house, as it proposed to remove one of the fixed bridges
of the railway with which he was connected and in its
place erect a swing bridge, which he thought was fraught
with the most dangerous consequences.
After a short discussion, the amendment was carried and
the bill thrown out.
