RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.
The directors of this company have just issued
their report. It states that the net revenue for the
six months ending June 30, after deducting in-
terest on loans and all other preferential charges,
Etra_ nt 1 t cE.±.3.,9 77% 110 this
.is.adtd £10,396
available for dividend £154,073. The
-eLttlitlYMe

commend a dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. per
annum, payable on the 20th of August, which, on
£7,197,855 of paid-up capital, will absorb £152,945,
and leave £1,119. Time increase in the gross re-
venue for the half-year was £43,342, as compared
with the corresponding period in 1858 ; and in the
working expenses £33,216, leaving the increase in
the net revenue £10,126. The total receipts for

the past half-year amounted on 339 miles of rail-
way to £437,196 against £393,854 on 2871 miles
for the corresponding half of 1858. The increase
in the receipts for passengers amounted to £26,824,
and for goods to £19,977. The increase in the
mileage was 511 miles, and the proportion borne by
working expenses to the gross receipts has been
increased by this cause, and by the low fares which
the company has been constrained to take in the
Portsmouh district. The conversion of the old first
and second class carriages into second and third
class is being carried out, and the second-
class carriages are being provided with
leather cushions and backs, all which im-
provements are charged to the revenue. The
whole of the line is in good working condition.
The Exeter Extension line is in progress, but the
heavy works at the Honiton tunnel and the Miste-
ron embankment have much delayed the contrac-
tor. Mr. Errington, the engineer, states that there
now remains to be completed only 150 yards of the
tunnel out of 1,300. The Yeovil branch is now suf-
ficiently advanced to secure its completion with the
main line. There are heavy works remaining to be
completed between Gillingham and Yeovil. The
Wimbledon and Epsom line was opened for traffic
on the 4th of April last. Tne extension to Leather-
head, which was opened on the Ist of February, is
expected to ,rove remunerative. The bill for sanc-
tioning the amalgamation of the new Ports-
mouth Railway with the system of this com-
pany has received the sanction of Parliament. The
directors anticipate that the arrangement will, in
its integrity, be very shortly submitted for the
final sanction of the respective proprietaries at
meetings to be specially convened for that purpose.
The differences which have existed between this
company and the Brighton Company respecting
the traffic of Portsmouth, have been a cause of great

pacification has been effected on terms believed to
be mutually advantageous to the companies and to
the public. Under this arrangement the running of
through trains by the direct Portsmouth route will
be resumed on the Bth of August, and the low-priced
excursion trains by both routes will be on the same
day abandoned. An act has been passed for ex-
tending the South-Eastern Railway to Hunger-
ford-market, and to a junction with this railway
at the Waterloo station, by which extension traffic
may pass through from this line to the London-
bridge Station and vice versa. Access also to the
terminal station of this new undertaking in Hun-
gerford-znarket may be obtained for this company,
if the proprietors desire it, and provisions for facili-

Company respecting the through traffic between
London and Portsmouth, and enabling the com-
pany to execute the above-mentioned works and
branch in the Kingston district, it authorises a very
desirable enlargement of the Bleehynden or West
Station at Southampton, and also enables the pro-
prietors to reduce, if they see fit, the number of
directors.
The report of Mr. Beattie, the locomotive engi-
neer, states that the train mileage had been
1,768,095 miles. against 1,486,008 miles, giving an
increase of 282,087 miles. The cost of maintaining
and working the locomotive stock was at the rate
of 7.98 d. per train mile. The capital account showed
that £10,378,979 had been received and £10,378,110
expended, leaving a balance of £869.

of a majority, to delegate to the Governor-General and the
Governors of the Presidencies, &c., certain powers to sell

executing contracts in India is also pointed out.

MR. RAREY v. "LlO 10s."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Six,—Having read in your columns of Tuesday last another
attack upon me by "£lO 105.," it is only just to my original
subscribers that I should submit to you an exact explanation
of the position in which I stood towards them.
In November, 1857, I came to England with full and disin-
terested testimonials as to the merits of my system, including
one from Lieutenant-General Eyre, who styled it something
" entirely new to me."
These were shown to a few men of high standing and horse
experience here, accompanied by the request that they would
come and witness the result of the process without charge,
and I immediately sent into the country for an unbroken colt,
in whose owner's hands I placed a sum of money equivalent
to its value to protect him against all risk.
It was not until the system had received the fullest test,
and I had spent some two or three months in showing its
effect to upwards of 100 gentlemen on subjects of every cha-
racter, that I offered my services to the public at a given
price.
I was content to stand or fall by their verdict, and if they
bad not been unanimous in recommending the system all
chances of getting a class together must at once have fallen
to the ground.
The universal satisfaction expressed by my pupils eventu-
ally swelled their number to upwards of 2,00 e, including some
of the first horsemen of the age.
As the appearance of my pamphlet has been to some a cause
of dissatisfaction, I wish to offer a short explanation in re-
gard to it. It was written by me about five years ago, but it
was never sold in America, and was only given to my pupils
there on the strictest pledge of secrecy.
Under these circumstances I considered that I had a most
perfect right when I came to England to speak of my system
as something new, and to that statement I still adhere.
It was not until one of my pupils in America broke his
pledge of honour that my pamphlet appeared in this country.
In consequence of there being no international law of copy-
ri ht a publisher immediately published it at 6d. per copy.
It is hardly necessary for me to say that in the proceeds of
that work I had no share or interest whatever. Owin to
the appearance of the pamphlet, some of my pupils cog nsi-
dered themselves injured, from a belief that they could learn
as much from it without a teacher as with one ; while other
persons, after reading it, were so convinced to the contrary that
they joined my subscription at once. Havin had such bad
faith kept towards me by an old pupil, I at ong ce absolved my
English pupils from every promise of secrecy. In consequence
of this release another and a successful effort was made to get
gain out of my capital by the publication of an illustrated and
enlarged edition of the pamphlet, in which the author availed
himself of the observations which he had gleaned from having
had free admission to my lectures. Although he was the
secretary to my first subscription I was never consulted in
the matter, as, out of common courtesy, I ought to have been,
and did not receive one farthing from the profits. These facts
will, I trust, show to all reasonable minds that the patronage
I have received has been honestly and meritoriously won, and
that the complaint prevalent (according to "£lO 10s.") among
my pupils has arisen from the injustice which has been done
to me, and not from any wrong conduct on my part.
Your correspondent is unwilling to give me any credit for
the hundreds of dangerous horses that I have handled with
invariable success, but takes a sort of malicious pleasure in
attributing all my reputation to Cruiser, and then destroying
it at one blow, because this once worst of savages does not,
under all circumstances, act with more than human intelli-
gence.
I have had Cruiser under my charge for nearly 18 months,
and he has never once committed himself until Friday last.
I was not present at the time, but the following are the real
facts of the case.
The Suffolk savage Cretingham Hero had recently arrived,
and was put into a box in the same stable with King of Oude
and Cruiser. The groom of the latter, from a desire to show off
his horse to his new acquaintance, took him out of his box into
the riding school, and had made him carry his cap. Atter
shaking hands with him, he was proceeding to enforce upon
him the disagreeable request of lying down, when the horse,
who was worked up by the smell and challenges of the
others, seized and severely bit -his arm, but did not kneel
upon him, or inflict any other injury, and at first the groom
believed that his shirt had only been 'torn. He was not
" attempting to insert into his mouth the heavy wooden gag"
(a mere exaggerated description of a wooden bit), which, in
fact, the horse hardly ever wears, except when he is dressed,
in order to try and make him utterly forget his old biting
habits.
I neither profess to have the power of controlling the jaws
of a savage by my system when not in his presence, nor to
crush the spirit of horses so completely that they will be
placed under such twofold aggravation. No one can regret
the circumstance more than I do, or feel more thankful that
deeper mischief did not ensue.
It is not my intention to answer any more attacks. lam
conscious of having acted towards my old pupils in simple
good faith, and the kindness I still continue to receive from
them makes me feel sure that " Ten Pound Ten's" opinions
are not a reflex of theirs.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,
J. S. RAREY.
