,ZLECTION INTELLIGENCE.

CITY OF LONDON.

A meeting summoned by the inhabitants of the ward'
;f Bread-street was hold list evening at the North and
i-Juth American Cuffte-hous:.„ at • which the claims of
Lord John Russell and the course taken by tie busine-s
esmmittee in reference to the resolution for excluding his
iordship from the representation were .taken into con-
sideration. There wai a very full attendance of electors,
lac tiding several members of the association and sup-
prter-s of their "four candidates."
Mr. F. ABRAHMIS, who had been announced as the
jhairman in the placards calling the meeting, presided.
Mr. PRITCILIED, ugh Bailiff of Southwark, proposed
a.resolution expressing confidence in Lord John Russel:,
and pledging the meeting to support him, intrOducing
nis name by an historical retrospect of the nol le lord's
services, and an eloquent panegyric on his consistent and
patriotic liberalism. Ile intimated that he also had been
a member of tho Liberia Registration Association, but-
had seceded from it because of tiaeir unfair -conduct in
thq present instance.

The resolution A•as put and carried.
A third resolution, insisting•that tho resolutions pamed
at the meeting stould be abolished, having been prc-
pored—_

Lord CHAS.. TOSSELL, who had some time previously
entered the room, proceeded to address. the meeting On
behalf of his brotaer. Hu said—.W ea I left home this
rooming I did not•expect that LshoUld remain in the
City, and not 'have returned to dinner at nine o'clock
this evening ; nor did I expect ttisee those magnificent
warehotises through which I have.heen conducted—nei-
thee did I contemplate weadingeday, way through those
narrow courts and alley's, in which I find I have had
my pocket picked---(" bear, bear," and laughter)—and
still less wasl prepared to bear much that I havo heard
in this room to-night from the warm friends of the Its -
gistration Society. I acknowledge the usefulness of
that society, and I say it is a proud distinction for a
great city like London to have mainly through. their
exertions, five candidates corning forward, all upon the
Liberal interest, not one C.,nservative daring to show his
lace. ([sear_) But I must say also that their conduct
towards my brober in this election is not generous—is
not just. (Hear.) Undoubtedly the association bad a
perfect right to combine together to appoint any four
gentle:pen as candidates they pleased. I demur not to
that ; but it is an old saying and a true one, that that
which is morally wrong cannot be politically right.
I do not say that udder some circamstauces they
have not a right to combine for such a purpose, but. I
say that it is not morally right, it is not English for
them to combine to rdeqt a man unheard. (Cheers.)
It is not right to call upon a man to came from a boraugh
he represented, and might have represented to the close
of his political career, to vindicate in his person the
great principles of unr,stricted trade and civil and reli-
gious freedom, of which the members of the association
were the advocates, and after sixteen
years' service to
treat him, as I have seen a member of Parliament, when
making a long speech, treat an orange—having sucked
it, to threw it away. (Loud cheers) One gentleman
present seemed to me to make the most reckless asser-
tions. Ile went back to the year 1837 ' • and said that
toy brother, when member for Huntingdon, was not a
flee trader. He is perfectly right in that statement ;
but when the gentleman goes thirty years back to com
demo a man, would it not be fair to go twelve years
back to give him credit ? (sear, hear.) Aga.o, the
gentleman said that Lord John Russell was not more in
favour of Parliamentary reform than Lord Palmerston:
Why it is will known that three years ago, when Lord
J. Russell brought- forward his reform bill, Lord Pal-
merston " bolted" out of the cabinet on that ground
(" Hear, hear," and laughter)—and within the last few
weeks, on Mr. Locke King's motion, Lord Palmerston,
with 40 of the Treasury men, went into the lobby with
the Tories against it, while my brother went into the
opposite lobby in company with the great body of
the Liberal party in its favour. (Cheers.) One gentlu-
man has said that my brother is not a friend to the
ballot. Now, let us deal fairly with him in his absence.
(Bear, hear.) I Was in Parliament once, though I have
not the honour to be so now, and upon this subject:, of
the ballot I differed from my brother. (Hear.) Why,
it' you reject Lord John for that cause, you ought on the
same ground, if I were put up as a candidate-against
him, to elect me—he being, as is well known, the fruit
of the family, while I am but the mere husk and rind.
(Hear.) But I will state to you a fact ; I have autho-
rity for stating that the vice-president and treasurer of
the ballot society have both of them expressed their de-
termination to stipport.Lord J. Russell its the coming
election, so satiedied, are they with his c.tnduet, Altar
all I want to know is Lord John Russell so determined
an cppouent of the ballot as some litre seem to suppoa
In the abstract I am myself in favour of open voting ;
but what made ice a convert to the ballot was seeing the
enormous amount of coercion 'exercised in an election
when I was a candidate—and I have heard Lord John
Russell say, alien be was contesting Devonshire, that
hu saw things then which, though iu Vile abstract he was
oppossd to the balit, led him to behove it possible thatl
he might be driven to it.
The resolution, that Lord John Russell, as the con-
sistent champion, &c., was.then put and carried by a
large majority. .
After the usual vote of thanks to the chairman, the
meeting separated.

RAILWAY INTRLIIGENCE.

:CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of -thil .company
was held at the Eusthn station yesterday,- Sir S. Morton
Peto in the cha'r. . .
Mr. MANsEL, the
..seeretary, read the report, which
stated that the traffic during. the past led! '-year had con-
tinued steadily to increase,' the `receipts from the railway
xhibiting an excess pf. 8,797/. over those of the corres-
ponding period of the previous year, and the earnings
of tie steamboats showing an increase of 3,695/.
The engineer reports that the permanent way, works,
and stations of the main line and branches are in good
conrlition. The sea, during the past half-year, has dis-
turbed a portion of the bench at Pennmen Mawr, so that
it has been necessary to make some additions to the
pitching of the fore-shore, which will be c mipleted in the
course of a few weeks.
The accounts show a net balance to the credit of re-
venue of 31,7831. after payment:of debenture interestand
other first charges ; from this•sum the directors recom-
mend the payment of the full half-year's dividend, at
the rate Of sji per cent. per annum, on the firs,t prefer-
ence stock ; and-one year's dividend, at the rate of 5

per cent. per a,unnni, on acctount of the arrears on the
issued portion of the viand preferencT stock ; leaving
balance of 1,6671. to be carried forward to the current
half-year.

The capital account cbowed th:A.4,304,930/., had bG6n
receive:l, and 4,339,188/. ekoendtd, leaving a ba'ance of

24,2571. against the, coppany. The reven`U.e account for
the balf-year ending the 31:t of December 13,4 showed
thetel-89,180/. had been received. teti—tte* railway, and
27,6671. from the steamboats, making together 166,7971.;
and that the expenses in respect of the rail;vay amounted
to 70,723/ , and on account of We steamboats to 25,2511.,
together 95,974/. ; leaving a balance of 68,4071. in fa-
vour of the railway, and 2,417/. in favour of the steam-
boats (after setting aside 5,401/. for insurance and de-
precia ion funds) ; making a net profit of 70,824/. To
this was added 17,5021., the balance from the preceding
half-year, and 3401. allowed by the Leedon and North-
Western Company as their proportion of loss shown on
the steamboats, after charging interest on the value of
the vessels, making 88,666/. Out of this was deducted
17,3251. dividend on first preference shares at 8.3. 3d.
per share, declared at last meeting, 3,568/. exnenditure
appertaining to previous half-years, 246/. balance of
traffic, 3,0001. rent of Bangor and Caruarvon Railway,
and 5,5271. interest on advance ; leaving 58,9991, lees
amount of debenture interest, and of Band C beads,
27.2161., leaving 81,783/.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said they had been extremely anxious that the accounts
presented on that occasion, being the first under the
new system of working, should have all the arrears
carefully settled, and all open accounts closed, so
that hereafter they would simply have to look to the
acceunts from time to time under their arrangement
with the North-Western 'Company. He thought, on
referring back to the receipts, omitting tho:7o for 1853,
it being the year of the Dublib Exhibition, that the
increase was such as they might reasonably have ex-
pected. The pasaenger traffic fee the half-year ending,
the 31st of December, 1852, amounted to 53,583/. ;
ending 31st cf December, 1854, to 62,1701. ; 31st of
December, 1855, to 64,212/. ; and 31st of December,
1856, to ,5391. - For oarcele the figures were 2,6751.,
3,5191.. 3,7431., and 4,003/. ; and for goods and live
stock, 24,6491., 39,1,411, 45,1201., and 49,5,13/. respec-
tively. The steam-boat traffic, as compared with pre-
vious years, also showed an increase. The general results
showed the company was placed in a position of much
greater security by having the steam-boat traffic in their
own bands than they would have been if entirely depen-
dent upon others. He then moved the adoption of the
report and accounts.

The report wag adeptol, a dividend for the half-year
ending 31st D,c. last on the first preference shares was
declared at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum, payable
the 31 April ; also a 5 per cent. dividend on the second
preference shares for 12 months, on Ib9C•)u nt of arrears of
interest due prior to Oct., 1853.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the prc-
ceedings.
