GREAT NO.RTILERN RAILWAY.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING (THIS DAY).

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders
was held this morning at the King's-cross Station for the
reception of the directors' report.
The usual routine business having been transacted,
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the directors'
report, remarked that the receipts for the half-year had been
seriously affected by the failure of the last harvest and the
general contraction of the commerce of the country. The
hon. gentleman then proceeded to refer in detail to the
different subjects mentioned iu the report, which showed
that the sum of £56,960 17s 10d had been disbursed on capi-
tal account; but of this amount £5,000 was in part pay-
ment of the company's subscription of £225,000 to the Gar-
ston and Liverpool line, and £8,082 lOs had been applied
in paying off mortgages on the Witham Navigation, which
the company had power to re-issue. The actual outlay
for the improvement and extension of the Great Northern
Railway was £43,878 7s 10d. The total receipts and
payments on capital account, to the 30th of June, were
as follows :—Receipts to 30th June, 1861, £11,990,711;
expenditure, £11,682,803 3s sd; balance, £307,907 16s 7d;
The following is an abstract of the revenue account for the
half-year ending 30th June, 1861 : —Gross receipts, £650,789
2s lid; gross expenditure, £363,776 6s 9d. Balance of re-
ceipts over expenditure, £287,02116s 2d ; balance from pre-
vious half-year £965 13s 10d; due from Eastern Counties
Company, as per net revenue account, No. 3, £8,400.
Total revenue, £296,387 10s. Fixed charges, in-
cluding mortgage and debenture stock interest, and
preference dividends, £206,294 3s 3d. Balance
available for dividend on the original and A and B stocks,
£90,093 6s. Decrease, £18,993 18s ld. The balance
afforded dividend at the rate of £3 15s per cent per annum
on the original stock, giving for the half-year £1 17s 6d
per cent on the original stock, £3 per cent on the B stock,
and 15s per cent. on the A stock ; and the directors recom-
mended that a dividend at these rates be declared. The
balance to be carried to the next half-year's account
amounted to £154 lOs 3d. After some discussion the re-
port was adopted.

THE RING OF SWLDEN AND NORWAY.

His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway
received Viscount Palmerston at dinner on Thursday
evening at the residence of the Swedish Embassy,
previously to visiting the Haymarket Theatre.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.)

ATTORNEYS' BILLS.-SINGULAR DEFENCE.--.-REECE AND

OTHERS V. WOODMAN.

This was an action to recover £l9 4s. 10d., balance of a
bill of costs.

Mr. Gates appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. Miller (Mil-
ler, Son, and Day), of Philpot-lane, for defendant.
Mr. Gates, in opening the case, said that all the work
charged for had been done, and ho believed the defence
would be that plaintiffs agreed to do it for costs out of
pocket. Now plaintiffs were a firm of the greatest respec-
tability, old, and well established, and they never did busi-
ness upon such terms.

Yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, the King, ac-
companied by his brother Prince Oscar, and atten-
ded by the members of his suite, left the Embassy
in two of the Queen's carriages and proceeded to
the British Museum, where his Majesty was re-
ceived by M. Panizzi and the other principal offi-
cers of this national institution, over the whole of
which, including the new library, the King was
conducted. His Majesty expressed himself greatly
pleased with the antiquarian collections, and devo-
ted especial attention to the marvellous remains re-
covered by Mr. Layard at Nineveh. From the
Museum the King drove to St. Paul's Cathedral,
where his Majesty was received by the Dean and
several of the canons residentiary, by whom he was
shown the various objects of interest in this mag-
nificent edifice. The King descended into the
crypt of the cathedral, and inspected with much
interest the sarcophagus containing the remains of
the late Duke of Wellington, and also the tomb of
our great naval hero, Nelson. On leaving the ca-
thedral his Majesty proceeded in the Royal car-
riages to Woolwich Arsenal, where the comman-
dant of the garrison and a brilliant staff of Ar-
tillery officers were in attendance to receive the
illustrious visitor. The arrival of his Majesty
was announced by a Royal salute fired from a
field battery ; and a guard of honour composed
of a company of Foot Artillery, was drawn up
in front of the barracks to receive the Royal.
party. After partaking of luncheon in the
officers' mess room, the King was conducted
through the laboratory and over the various
departments of the Arsenal, including the esta-
blishment where the manufacture of the Armstrong
gun is carried on. His Majesty was greatly inte-
rested here, and devoted a long time to a thorough
examination of the mode of manufacture of this de-
structive weapon. Before taking his departure the
King complimented the commandant and the officers
of the Artillery upon the so:dierly appearance of
their corps. His Majesty left under a second Royal
salute, the band of the Royal Artillery playing the
Swedish national anthem,

Witnesses were called, and deposed to no such agreement
having been come to.

Mr. Miller said he would prove by his witnesses that
such was the understanding, and he apprehended the jury
would have no difficulty about the case.
After witnesses had been ca led for defendant, and had
deposed to such an understanding as that mentioned in the
defence,

The learned Secondary summed up, and pointed out to
the jury that it was their duty to decide in such a conflict
of testimony.

The jury found for the plaintiff for the full amount.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

From the Arsenal the King proceeded to the
dockyard, where, under conduct of Commodore Sir
Frederick Nicholson, his Majesty embarked in a
river steamboat, and proceeded up the Thames to
Greenwich, where the Royal party landed and in-
spected the College and Chapel. Again embarking,
the King steamed up the river to Waterloo-bridge,
where the Queen's carriages were in attendance to
convey his Majesty to Grosvenor-place.
Last evening the King entertained Chevalier
Tottie, Swedish and Norwegian Consul-General in
London, and a party of Swedish gentlemen at din-
ner, at the residence of the Embassy.
To-day his Majesty will take his departure, via
Dover and Calais, to Lubeck, and thence to his own
dominions.
