DIED.

, The forty-first half-yeatly general meeting of this com-
pany was held this afternoon, at the 8ri2g,..-house Hotel,
London-bridge ; the Hon. J. Byng, Chairman of the
Board of Directors, in the chair.

The report and statement of accennts have already
appeared in Tlce Son, and they were taken as read.
The CtiAittmAtt, in moving the adoption of the repot t,
- said that the statement contained in the report and ac-
caunts VCRS so. ample that little remark was needed by
line on that occasion. The receipts were -satisfactory,
and whilst there had been no increase of expenditure
everything had been done to insure the safety of the
travelling public. The gross rec iptes on the hail-year
enabled the directors; to propose a dividend of 5 per cent.
per annum. (Ceeers.) , The directors were relaying the
line, which wool I incur great exeense and occupy some
cunsiderable time. The hen. gentlemen then referred
to the gross receipts and expenditure, the disceetiuuance
of certain trains that were found not to be used by the
public, and said that the loans as they became due had
been paid off', and sums raised at an interest less than 5
per cent., and it was hoped that the reduced rate of ire
terest wool I he still greater reduced. Referring to the
steam-boets in connection with this tins the chairman
said that they were in an efficient state, and had ever
been so, and that there was a reserved sum of 17,5001.
to meet any casualties that ini;ht Arise. In referring to
the late gold baliion robbery, the chairmen said that
great credit was due to Mr. Ilse for the ability he dis-
played in conducting the prosecution, and -aided -tliat
sufficient property had been recovered to defray the
expenses tf the prosecutiem and leave a surplus of 5001.
(Hear.) Triey were stilt continuin4 the search for the
lost gold, arid they were in hopes lef its being recovered.
GOBDON THOMSON (Arector) seconded the motion.
Lord A. PAGET called attention to tee etate of the
harbours at Veilleestoene and Boulogne, and advised the
directors to take some seeps to allow the boats to leave
Folkestone at all hour's, instead of as now at tidal hours.
A sum of money had,been voted for the improvement of
the harbour at Folestone, and he thought if the subject
was Lid tefore the Government, they would give the
company some assistance towards improving the har-
bour. Tt e same -remark applied to Boulogne, and be
thought that if a repreeeetaeon was made to the Em-
peror of the French he would do something to improve
the harbour of Boulogne. He (Lord A. Paget) should
be happy to .make one of a deputation to wait on the
Emperor of the Fiench for that purpose. par, hear.)
It was high time something should he done to make the
communication between Folkestone and Beulogue-as it
ought to be, the best points of communication between '
the two couutriee. (Gear, hear.) He congratulated
the meeting on the satisfactory state Of their property
in giving an increased dividend. (Hear, hear )
Mr. ADAMS called attention to a charge of 1,250/. ex-
penses for a bill now in Paliament, which he considered

The CITATIIMAN said it was charged as was usual in

these cases to the suspense account. •
Mr. ADAMS complained that an amendment he pro-
posed at the last meeting was not advertised with the
motion that was carried. It was an important amend-
ment relative to their extensions, and he intended to
move it again that day. After some further re-
marks on the report he called attention to the
amount paid for accidents. (Hear, hear.)
Thii line, on a return of 583,000/ , had paid 10,3491.
for sca'dents, wh ht the sum paid by the London and
North-Western Railway, with their immense traffic, for
the same period was only 8,8641. (Hear, hear.) He
Complains I cf. the numerous alterations of- the time of
running the trains on this line and the Greenwich
branch, which, he said, was a great evil and of great in-
convenience to the public, often resulting in serious dis-
appointments. He condemned the further proposed ex-
tension of this line, and moved an amendment that the
d:r.2ctors Ehouli not proceed with any more extensions
until the original shareholders were paid a dividend of
5 per cent. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. DEAVIS' seconded the amendment, and said that
it was the eletension policy that had reduced the divi-
dends.
Mr. DELL referred to the "hostile projects," as de-
scribed in the report in connection with this line, in the
course of which he reviewed the extension policy that

had besn adopted by the directors for the past ten years,
and pointed out what he called the fatAl mistake that
was made by them with reference to the East Kent. He
counselled the company making peace with the Esst
Kent and It ew Kent Csmpanies -if they wished tocoi!
serve the-terests of ; the South Earn ,proprievs.--,-
Mr. ittcll, M.P., a direclor, rose Earn

Mr. BELL said that it.was true he signed the subscrip-
tion cottract of the Ea-t Kent—(laughter)—but he never
had htld a share in either of the two above lines.
lie complained that the directors.had cot acted fairly
with the Cray's Company, and Aran that the conduct of
the direc' ore was open to consider.bl9 otjection.
Mr. Ricer, .111. P., said that no doubt it would be satis-
factory to the meeting to know that Mr. Bell was a sub-
scriber to the East Kent to the extent of 4,0001.
(Ffear, hear )
Mr. BELL said that subscribing to the contract was
not tantaoiount to being a shareholder. (Cries of

"Oh, oh.")
Mr. Rica said that it woulJ, no doubt, be very sati-
factory to the Parliamentary Committee to know that
Mr. Bell was not a subscriber—that it was all moon-
shine. (Hear, and laughter.) He asked Mr. Btll if he
bad not proceeded with the scheme, and hA paid down
400/. on that contract. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
Mr. BELL dteined to answer the question. (Cries of
" Oh, oh, and laughter.) It was a very important ques-
don, and ought only to have been Piked in the com-
mittee room. (laughter.)
Mr. Rica said that he thought it a very pertinent
question, and that it ought to be answered here. (Hear,
hear.) The hon. gentleman then proceeded to remark
that Mr. Bell was the solicitor to the Cray's line, and
asked the meeting to defer the discussion on these exten-
sions until the Wharnelffe meeting, to be shortly held.

STRIKE AT TIIS NEW DOCK WORKS AT BIR'KEN•
HEAD.—On Monday morning nearly the
Birkenhead
le of the
extensive works- now in progress at tha
Docks, under Mrssrs. Thomson, the contractors, were
suddenly brought to a stand-still, in consequence of
several hundred of the employed Aavvies, composed
principally of Irishmen, having struck work. The ceS-
e,a:ion of labour by one particular branclr, which was
that of filing waggons, had its effect upon the other
departments, and platelayer., tippers, engine-drivers,
and overloLkers were thrown idle. About 200 navvies
struck in the first instance, but this number was
speedily augmented, and at present there are about
1,000 men doing nothing. Many of these
consist onf
tippers, platelayers, managers, &c., who hang
to do xi ith the strike. The total number of workmen
employed at the dock works up to Monday was 1,200. ors,
The cause of the grievance has been variously stated. F
The contractors, on the other hand, say that it is not so I
much a matter of wages with the men as the " Irish
againt the English," or an attempt on the part of the
natives of the sister isle to drive alt Englishmen from the
works. The Moser s.. Thompson have made arrangements
for bringing men from their various contracts in different
.
puts of the country to replace those now out on strike
On Taes,ay
morning s'me of the workmen commenced
operations, but they were soon visited by gangs of the
" turn-outs," who compelled teem to desist.
BURS-LAMS IN Youstatraz.—The York papers state
that, notwithstenling the recent capture of a whole
gang of burglArs in that county, a series of nocturnal
robberies were again committal in the North Riding
ibthorre
last week. On Wednesday night the house of Mr. J.
