IVEST INDIA STEAM COMPANY.

-01
A half-yearly meeting of the Royal Mail (West
India) Steam Company was held yesterday after-
noon, Captain C. E. Mangles presiding. From the
report and the opening statement of the chairman
it appeared that the working of the past six months
has been satisfactory, the receipts showing an in-
crease of £8,510, and the working expenses a dimi-
nution of £4,662, arising from a reduction under
nearly every head. There has been an apparent
augmentation in the salaries, but this is mostly at-
tributable to an adjustment of account. In the cur-
rent half-year the business of the company is also
progressing favourably. A considerable falling off
has taken place in outward passage money and
freight in the last six months, chiefly owing to the
French competition to Brazil, but it has been more
than compensated by the augmentation in the
homeward receipts. Arrangements have been
effected with the Panama Railway for a develop-
ment of the through traffic, and it is hoped that
such further concessions will be made by that com-
pany as will place the West India steamers on the
same footing as other vessels trading up to Panama.
The repair and renewal account, after placing to its
debit the repairs of the half-year, for the first time
since its publication in 1855, shows a surplus of
£1,882. At the same time the fleet has been main-
tained in excellent order. The ships and engines
now stand in the company's books at £lB 15s.
per ton, while the premises, which originally
cost between £45,000 and £46,000, have been
reduced to £lB,OOO. The proceedings respecting
the Australian contract are still pending, and the
matter now stands in precisely the same position
it occupied a year ago. The directors have anxi-
ously considered the question of the renewal of
the contract, and express a belief that the Go-
vernment will not allow the service to pass out
of English hands, as they assume would be the
case if the contract were to be abolished, into
those of the French, who have just contracted
for a fleet for the West Indian and Mexican
trade. After some discussion the report was
adopted, and a dividend declared at the proposed
rate of £2 per share, free of income-tax. Annexed
is a list of the company's fleet :

FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON THE S.HRETTSBURI
AND WELSIIPOOL RAILWAY.

Yesterday morning between five and six o'clock a
terrible accident occurred near Hanwood station,
between three and four miles from Shrewsbury, on
the Welshpool line (now nearly completed), by
which two men were killed, and seven or eight
others frightfully wounded. It will be necessary
to state, in order to understand the matter clearly,
that Mr. France, the contractor, runs a train, con-
sisting of an engine, several ballast waggons or
trucks, and a guard's van, along the line from
Shrewsbury to Middletown, a distance of 14 miles,
for the convenience of the workmen. Nearly 200
leave Shrewsbury every morning and return at
night. The train left the station as usual yesterday
morning, shortly after five o'clock, and all went
right for the first few miles. Shortly before they
reached the Hanwood station it was observed that
the trucks suddenly began to oscillate fearfully, and
in an instant the last truck but one tumbled over
with a terrific crash down a slight embankment,
pitching the men out in all directions. The truck
which followed was also dragged down the embank-
ment, and the men in that also were thrown out,
but not with such violence, as the train was not
proceeding at a rapid pace. The break van was not
thrown off the line, but the men in it jumped out in
the greatest consternation. It is computed that
there were about 20 men in each truck, and eight or
ten in the van. The cries of the poor fellows were
heartrending, and as soon as assistance could be
procured it was found that two men were killed on
the spot, their names being George Dax, of Shrews-
bury, carpenter, and Joseph
.Bates, of the same
place, labourer. Both are married men with fami-
lies. One had been driven against a post on the
side of the line, and over the other the wheels of
the track had run, completely smashing him. Two
other men were fearfully mangled, and no hopes
are entertained of their recovery. Some six more
were rather seriously injured. As soon as possible
Mr. Blakeway, of Han wood-mill, rendered assist-
, ance by administering stimulants to the sufferers,
and, with the assistance of the stationmaster at
Hanwood, sent the wounded to the infirmary
at Shrewsbury. Medical assistance was then
promptly
administered. Upon examining the trucks
it was found that one of the irons which run under-
neath, and to which coupling chains are attached,
had become loosened from constant working, and
while they were proceeding along had worked out
from beneath the third truck from the end of the
train. That truck passed on, but the next came
right upon one end of the bar, the other being driven
against a rail, the truck being thus turned com-
pletely over, thereby causing the accident. The
former part of the train proceeded for some distance
without any one being aware of the accident, as it
was quite dark. At present no person is held
blamable for the accident, but the facts will be
elicited at the inquest, which% fixed for to- morrow.

The Dowager Lady Rivers and Mr. Cobb have
arrived at the London Hotel, Albemarle-street.

PLYMOUTH, Wednesday.—The barque Eliza
Susanna, 471 tons, Captain Grafthuis, of and for Rotter-
dam, which left Rangoon with a cargo of rice May 15, was
towed into the Sound yesterday evening, her crew being
prostrated by scurvy. She left Rangoon with a comple-
ment of 18 men, wh3 were attacked when the ship was off
the Azores. Four died—viz John Lindross, sailmaker, of
Louise, Finland ; and three able seamen—A. Kivaut, of
Groningen; L. Pauls, of Kronen; and Arinaud Peters, of
Papenburg. Nine continue sick ; the remainder (five)
are in health. Tho attack is attributed to the quality
of the water obtained at Rangoon, which, like that from
Moulmein, is said to encourage scurvy. The barque Ta-
glioni, Captain Hunter, from South Shields, with coal for
'Lisbon, put into the Sound yesterday, leaky.
