NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company wag held on
Friday at Stoke-upon-Trent ; Mr. J. L. Ricardo, M.P.,
in the chair.
The report and statement of account', an abstract of
which has appeared in The Sum, were submitted, •
The CHAIRMAN., in moving the adoption of the,rep6rt,
said that a considerable increase had taken place in the
local traffic. Tmetraffic they bad secured had not only
been obtained without any assistance from the London
and North-Western Company, but, he might say, in the
face of opposition en the part Of that company. They
were enabled from the resources of the line to declare. a
dividend at the rate of 31 per tent. per annum for the
half-year, which amount they had fully, and fairly earned.
With re;4ard to the state of their traffic, he might men-
tion that of the 688,798 passengers conveyed over the
line 648.354 were local passengers, and 43,444 through.
passeng,e,R or rather through and local passengers, •As,
it was difficult` to separate them. With regard to the
goods traffic, of 455,836 tons conveyed oi,erithaine:
269,000 tons consisted of local traffic, and out of the
total receipts for the traffic, amounting to 73,4851.,
the -suns of 54,4881. was' received for local traffic.
The n ineral was nearly all local traffic, for out of-
-194,264 tens' only 11,686 tons consisted of through-
traffic. These facts showed how- entirely .dependent
They were on their own resources for the dividend
they bad earned awl were enabled to declare. Tbe.
amount handed to them under the agreement .with the;
London and North Western Coinpaity as their proper-
tion on account of the Manchester traffic was about
1,2001. less than in the corresponding half of last year,...
'although it was repotted-that .the London aed North-
Western Company were going to pay a larger dividend,
and there could be no' doubt that the traffic of that 'com-
pany was larger than ever, although tbe amount handed
over to them was less. - They bad no means of checking
the account., and were so far at the mercy of the London
and North Western 'Company in respect to the agree-
ment. They had no alternative but to take what was
given to them. The law charges amounted to 1,9021.
ddring the balf'year, and it chided every item under
that head. An item of 1,0001.- in connection with the
clearing house department has been brought into the
past half-year's account, though it properly belonged to
the current half year. He mentioned these matters with
a view to show that everything had been charged against
revenue, and that they had not divided any more than
they were strictly entitled to. They had nearly earned
4 per cent., wbioh was the utmost amount contemplated
by the arbitrators as to the value of their undertaking.
It showed that those gentlemen bad not formed too high
an estimate, but that, blocked up as they were, their net
earnings' would eventually very much exceed that
amount.' Having congratulated the shareholders on the
sound and prosperous position of their undertaking, he
expressed his belief that their prosperity would be pro-
gressive.l (Cheers.) •

ICRVir AND IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE SCIENCE

The report of the directors of 'this company congratu-
lates the shareholders on the improved position of
their property; it states' that traffic oi every kind .has
increased, that the working expenditure haardiminished,
and that. the company has ,surmounted much of its
former embarrassment. The accounts of the half-year's
working show a total receipts from all sources of
111,7731., and a ,total expenditure of 56,9311.—shqw-
ing a balance of net profit of 54,842/. ; which sum,
after deduction for intereet; dividend on new deben-
ture stock, rent of the Stratford and Moreton Rail-
way, &c., allows a full dividend of 6 per cent. to the
first preference' shareholders, leaving a balance which,
added to the 'small balance of last half-year, will
arpinint to 825/. ' The capital has been increased by
120,6391., and the have been reduced from
231,682/. to 110,8561. Of. the' new capital authorised
to be raised, by the last act in debenture stock 88,954/.
bas ueen created at 4i per cent. 'All the second
guaranteed stock belonging to the company, formerly
in the hands. of Sir S. M. Peto, has been restored to
the company by the repayment of the calls a Ivanced
`try that geutlesrtan, whose contract for the remain-
ing works of the line .hag thus ceased. The
directors report that the 'traffic is still much re-
tarded On account of the' patinity of sidings from the
main line into the large iron and other works, and the
want' of accommodation at many of the stations. These
deficiencies' will be supplied ati the finances of the com-
pany and circsinstances admit.. ,The 'Worcester 844
Hereford COlll pany have, cOinmenpul the'Worlfri.4P-
undertaking in the neighbourhood of Malvern and else-
where, and the directors look with great-anxiety towards
its progress. It is proposed to ask the consent of the
proprietors to enter into a working arrangement with
the prjected Severn Valley Railway Company. Both
the South-Eastern and Staines and Wokingbam Com-
panies are applying to Parliament for a narrow gauge
junction between the Reading station and Oxford and
Basingstoke line, either of which, if obtained, will give
a through route from Worcester to Dover. The loans
of the company falling due have been readily met, and
in no case at a higher rate than 5 per cent. The perma-
nent Way and Works are in a satisfactory state .A large
atnount has been expended in the half-year; in the re-
newal. of rails, and will,continue under this head: for some
considerable period. The directors direct especial atten-
tion to the reduction of the working expenses of the
.company, the rate during the. last half-year having been
50.93 per cent in comparison with 68 per cent. in the
six months ending June- 30. The expenditure would,
have been less but for the deficient state of the engine
stock. The directors assure the proprietors that all
attention shall be given to the working of the railway in
,the most- economical manner consistent with the real
interests of the concern,

although 1,400 tons lesa than the American frigate, will

With the exception of the Duke of Wellington, the
weight of the broadside is calculated on the assumption
of the 8. and 10-inch guns firing hollow shot ; of these
the.Sbannon has 30 8-inch; the Diadem 20 10-inch, and
the Merrimac 40. With all solid shot the Shannon would
throw a broadside of '1,3291b.; this, however, It is said,
she is not intended to do, the 10-inch gun being designed
for hollow shot.

The,Royal Frederick sailing three decker of 110 guns,
'built 'after the model of the Queen, and which has been
on the stocks at Portsmouth for the last 20 years, 10 or
More of which she has been• ready for launching, has
deve;oped practically the experiment she has been kept
on the stocks to exhibit, viz.—whether ships would keep
as sound out of the water as in it. An examination re•
oently has shown that dry rot has been largely at wirk
with the lower extremity of the ship, much of the keel,
&a., being affected by,it. It is now talked of lengthening
her, and making her a steam 130-gunship, but to do this
the slip ,which she has so long tenanted and the shed
over it must be lengthened to meet the improvement in-
tended. •
The Imperieuse' 51, screw frigate, Captain R. B.
Watson, C. 8., will be paid off at Portsmouth on or about
Thursday next. It is reported that Captain Watson
will be next appointed to relieve Commodore Trotter in
command of the squadron on the Cape of Good Ifope
station.

On Sunday last five artillerymen put off from the Ear-
bicani.Plymonth, in a small boat, intending to visit
'some comrades at Bovisand battery, near the eastern
entrance to the Sound. A thole having broken, and
the wind being strong from the northward, they were
driven into the Channel, where they passed the night,
and on Monday, when near the Eddystone, were picked
up -by: the ,outward bound Prussian barque Michael,
which placed them on board a pilot boat. They landed
at Poway, and returned to Plymouth the same day. Col.
Pester, commanding the Royal Artillery in the Western
District, has addressed-to Mr. Luscombe, the Prussian
Consul, a letter of. acknowledgment of the humanity of
Captain Muller in rescuing the men, and of the kindness
they received on board.
The screw corvette Pelorus, 21, sister ship to the

It is confirmed that General Henningsen had

The New York money market was a little easier,

the tie of gratitude by which I should be bound
to this corporation, any more sacred tie were
necessary to secure the diligent and faithful dis..

the full investment into the responsibilities and
functions of my office by the solemn oaths just ad-

enlightened and candid community, but to the
satisfaction of all who are interested in the full,
faithful, and impartial administration of justice.
(Hear, hear.) My desire and aim, my constant

Atrato brings 33 passengers, among whom are Don
Pedro Escaudon, late Secretary to the Mexican
Legation in Paris, from Vera Cruz, on his way to
join the Embassy in Paris; Mr. Charles Sevin, of
London, and Mr. Richard lichens, Redruth,
Cornwall, from Vera Cruz, returning from their

' De Cordova's Mercantile intelligencer of the 10th
contains its annual review of the state of the
Jamaica market, which says :
" The year which has just been brought to a close has
been principally remarkable for the frequent fluctuations
in the affairs of commerce, and we regret that we cannot
congratulate our merchant upon any improvement in
business during 1856. . . . Taking a retrospective
view of 1856 we see little on which to comment, except
circumstances of depression in commercial circles. It
would be hard to point to any one year in which the
efforts of the merchant have been so 'unsuccessful as in
the year just ended. Never, perhaps, has trade so ter-
ribly suffered, or commerce received so many shocks."
The importation of all descriptions of provisions
during the year is said to have been immense, so
that large supplies were always on hand, and the
price o f certain articles fell so low in consequence
thatimporters had seldom been barely remune-
rated. Stocks on hand at the end of the year con-
tinued large, and low 'prices must therefore rule
for some time until the stocks gradually decreased.

The construction of the railway from Guatza-
caolcosto Tehuantepec had again been taken up
by a mercantile firm of New York, and would be
pushed on for speedy completion. The works on
the railroad from the city of Mexico to Gudaloupe-
vill had been taken up by Don Antonio Escaudon
with great activity, ' and it was expected that
towards the .end ~of October the line would be
opened. Another ;new -railway was also in the
way of construction from the city of Mexico to
Tacubaya, starting from the street Las Escalerillas,
and passing close by the statue of Charles the
Fo-urth.'
From Central America we hear that Walker was
in a desperate condition, and it was fully believed
would not be able to hold out much longer.

THE LAT INCOMR•TAX MJETIPI. IN MAR
LEBONE AND SIR B. HALL.

At the meeting of the inhabitants of Marylebone, on
the subject of the abolition of the income tax, held in
the Marylebone Court-house, on Wednesday night last,
a letter from Sir B. Hall, on the subject, was read by
Sir James Hamilton, the chairman, to the meeting, and
the sentiments it expressed upon the subject were re-
ceived generally, at the time of reading, with approba-
tion. Mr. Churchwarden Nicholay, however, subse-
quently moved the first resolution, and, in doing so,
.designated the letter which had been read frsm the right
hon. baronet as being such a one as ought not to have
been written by the liberal member for for Marylebone.
It was, he said, "the Jeenitical emanation of a Minix-
ter of the Crown." The reports having reached Sir B.
Hall, through the public press, at Llanover' he has
written the following letter to Mr. Soden, who defended
him at the meeting, accompanying it with the copy of a
letter, which Mr. Nicholay is said to have had in his
pocket at the time he made the speech referred to :
" Llanover, Jan. 30, 1857.
"My dear sir,—l observe by the publics papers re-
ceived this morning that you were so good as to draw
the attention of the meeting on Wedneeday last to the
real purport of my letter, and to exprcss your dissent
from the observations of a previous speaker. I beg to
thank you for this consideration. It is not always that
a public man in his absence has a friend to say a word
in his favour. At the time that Mr. Nicholay made the
observations to which I refer lie had in his posession a
letter from me, of which I enclose a copy.
" I refrain from any comment upon anything that
may be said against myself. After representing the
borough, and I believe not inefficiently, for 20 years, I
believe the groat mass of the constituency will not be
led away by any vituperation such as that referred to ;
but I do sincerely regret that Lord Ebrington should
have been denounced in his absence, when it is well
known that he is suffering from the greatest infliction
that man can endure,, and that he became subject to
that infliction in the cause of humanity.—With many
thanks, I remain, my dear sir, very truly yours,
"J. Soden, Esq." "B. HALL.

The following is the copy of the letter addressed by
the right hon. baronet to Mr. Nichoiay, referred to in
the previous letter :

"Llanover, Jan. 27, 1867.

"Dear Sir,—Your letter, dated the 24th, addressed
to Great Stanhope-street, was delivered there yesterday,
and bears the London mark of such delivery (Jan. 26).
It did not, therefore, reach me till this day. I regret
extremely that I cannot possibly leave. Wales in time to
attend the public meeting to-niorrow evening. I should
have bad great pleasure in being present, but,l hope that,
my absence may not be construed into any feeling of
indifference to the object for which the meeting is con-
vened, or a desire to avoid the viva voce expression of
my sentiments in regard to the taxation of the country,
which sentiments are the same as I have ever entertained.
I have now only four or five days in which I can trans-
act all that business which must necessarily be attended
to previous to my return to London, when I shall, of
course, be incessantly occupied for many months.
" I have addressed a letter to the chairman of the
meeting, which I hope will be read to the meeting.—l
remain, deAr sir, yours truly, "B. HALL.
"J. A. Nicholay, Esq."

"BIG BEN," AND THE GREAT CLOCK

OF WZSCIWINSFER.

On Satur lay afternoon the deep, sonorous sounds of
"Big Ben's" voice was heard for several hours booming
over London, like the reports of some huge musical
cannon. What was the cause of this continued clangour
from the belfry of Westminster remained for some time
a mystery. Some persons conceived that " Big Ben"
RIM opening his brazen throat to announce the
submission of Persia, or the annexa'ion of China ;
others, that the succession to the throne of England had
been rendered still more secure to the house of Hanover,;
some persons said that the great bell was rung because
" the hinge of the hitch" respecting the reconstruction
of the Cabinet had been finally disposed of ; and others
surmised that the bell was merely summoning members
to the Parliament which is to commence its sittings on
Tuesday next. It was, however, no event of such
interest as any of theie which caused "Big Ben" to
exert himself with so much energy and vigour, the whole
being merely the workmen engaged in completing the
arrangements for fixing the hammer of the magnificent
bell. It was expected that by the opening of Parliament
the great clock itself would have been ready to peal
forth the hours for the benefit of assembled Lords and
Commons. But alas ! for human hopes, generati in will
probably pass away ere that most successful piece of
horolegical mechanism which has been beating and
throbbing to the flight of time for several years past, in
the workshops of Mr. Dent, will mark the progress of
the hours from its lofty tower at Westminster. The
foundations for the great clock--which weigh many
tons—are not yet laid in the clock tower, and the four
quarter bells are' not yet cast ; for "Big Ben," the
Jupiter Tonans of the heavens, has yet to have his four
satellites which ale to bear him company, and to cheer
him in the loneliness of his proud attitude. Mr. War-
ner, of Jewin-street,who has been so successful in casting
the great bell, has just received orders to cast three
smaller bells. They will chime the quarters in the same
musical manner as St. Mary's bells at Cambridge, while
the great bell will alone strike the hours. The great

is possible ever to obtain, the vari-
fidelanoiiclsyfikeidtPeefirlyfformance is as near an approach to perfect
accuracy as it
at ion being but some minute fraction of a second.
The bands of the clock are to be of copper, made
as light as is consistent with the requisite strength
to resist the action of the wind. The four dials are
22 feet each in diameter, being the largest hi the
world with a minute hand ; the larger dials on the
Continent have only an hour hand. The minute hand,
on account of its greater length, velocity, weight, friction,
and the action of the wind upon it, requires at least 20
times as much force to drive it as the hour hand. The
effeus of friction and wind upon such hands as these
offer difficulties in the way of the clock going even as
well as an ordinary church clock ; to' overcome which
what is called rentontoire work is used, part of the ar-
rangements being for the purpose of giving a visible
motion of the hands at every half-minute, when the point
of the minute hand will move nearly seven inches. The
weight of the hammer—originally proposed to be 4-cwt.,
according to the usual proportion, with a rise of one
foot—has to be increased to 12 cwt. There is a con-
trivance for stopping the winding when the clock is going
to strike, as the winding of each of the striking parts of
the clock will occupy nearly two hours. The clock face
is of cast iron, filled in with a new description of white
semi-opaque glass, supplied by Gardner, of the Strand.
