The miscellaneous outstanding claims,including
Mr. Wood's balance as solicitor, amount to £1,082
18s. ld. The directors congratulate the proprietors
upon the passing of the act for making a railway
from the London-bridge station to Charing-cross
over their bridge. The pendency in Parliament of
that bill induced your directors to enter into an ar-
rangement with Messrs. Tillett for the termination
of proceedings which those gentlemen had instituted
in Chancery against the company, to enforce the
performance by the latter of their contract to pur-
chase the line of property intended to form the ap-
proach from the York-road—the arrangement being
that the agreement with Messrs. Tillett should be
cancelled, on payment by the company of £415, in
full of all demands."

The meeting was then declared special to consider
the agreement with the Charing-cross Railway
Company, such agreement having for its object the
ultimate transfer to the railway company of the
property of the bridge company, on terms which,
when wholly carried out, will secure to the latter
company the maintenance of the guaranteed stock
for ten years, and the payment of the additional
sum of £lOO,OOO, making a total payment of
£125,000. The amount is made up of two sums, viz.,
£40,000 for the property, exclusive of the tolls,
and £85,000 as ascertained compensation for the
tolls. A clause in the agreement requires that
£20,000 should be deposited as a guarantee fund
for completion of the arrangement, subject to for-
feiture to this company in case of failure.
A resolution empowering the directors to eh
the seal of the company to the deed of arrangement
was proposed and carried.

THE BOMBAY MAILS.

The following telegram was received at the
Foreign Office, from Acting Consul-General Green,
on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 12A5 P.M. :-

ALEXANDRIA, FEB. 11.
The steamer Northern, from Bombay, arrived at
Suez on the Bth inst., Bombay date Jan. 25.

The rebellion in Oude is entirely suppressed.
The Begum and some followers have gone by night
marches into Nepaul, partly foreign (forcing ?) her
way, partly bribing ; the sepoys of her party said
to be plundering the Nepaul villages.
A corps of observation remains on the frontier.
The Nana supposed to be with the Begum.
Brigadier Showers, with a column from Agra,
came up with the rebels under Tantia Topee, at
Bosha, on the 16th of January, having marched
ninety•four miles in three days. They defeated
and dispersed them, killing about 300. Three
Chiefs fell on the field, and one, on an elephant,
was overtaken and killed by Lieutenant Hadfield,
of the Agra Police Cavalry. _ _ _

On the same day a body of rebels crossed the
River Sarlah into Rohilcund, but were driven back.

The following is the latest intelligence from
Allahabad :
Jan. 18, 7.23 P.M.—The Commissioner of Rohil-
cund reports that the rebels, who numbered from
20,000 to 30,000, were defeated with slaughter, and
driven across the Sartheas, their guns taken, and
Nurput Sing of Rooza and Benee Sing killed.
There has been a disturbance in the Nizam's ter-
ritory, and parties of marauders, composed of Rohilla
Arabs and Deccanees, are doing much mischief
[on ?] the border of Berar. •

The Duraty Commissioner, while at Rissade on
the 15th January, was attacked. Brigadier Hill
Howard came to his assistance. Some fighting
ensued, and in the pursuit of the enemy several
casualties occurred among our officers.

SOUTH WALES,

The directors state in their report that the de-
pression in the trade of the country has continued
to exercise an injurious effect upon the traffic
during the past half-year. The receipts during
that period amounted to 173,6671. as against
188,5051. for the corresponding half of 1857, show-
ing a decrease of 14,8381. This result is attributable
in a great measure to the depression of the iron and
coal trades, and also to the increased competition
caused by the extreme lowness of the freights for
shipping. Some improvement has taken place in
the traffic receipts, and from intimations which
have been received from some of the largest coal
freighters upon the railway the directors believe
that they are justified in looking forward to the
resumption of mire active operations during the
current year. In addition to diminished receipts,
the revenue is also affected by the charge 0f5,0001.
on account for the relaying of the line to the west
of Swansea, of 5001. on account of the moiety of th•
cost of the Newport station, and by a sum of 2,0001.
credited to the accident account and now charged
against revenue. In comparing the expenses of
the last half-year with those of the corresponding
period of 1857, it will be seen that there is an in-
creased charge for maintenance of way. The ba-
lance of 50,9951. will, after meeting all preference
charges admit of the payment of a dividend
at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, leaving
2,3211. to be carried forward to the next half-
year. The expenditure charged to capital
during the half-year has been limited to 24,0631.
The capital remaining to be issued under the
powers of the Act of 1855 amounts to 379,9801.
Of this sum the directors propose at present to
raise about 200,000/., of which it is assumed that
100,0001. will be required in the course of the next
12 months, the remainder being raised at such later
period as the requirements of the company may
render necessary. The capital is required to meet
liabilities already existing, and for the construction
of works rendered necessary to meet the demand
for increased accommodation, more particularly at
Milford Haven. The capital account shows that
4,490,5491. had been received, and 4,457,705/. ex-
pended, leaving a balance of 32,8441. The revenue
account for the half-year ending 31st of December
last showed that 173,668/. had been received, and
110,708/, expended, leaving a balance of 62,9601.

AMB ERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON.
The directors of this company state that the
available balance amounts to 13,7621., from which
the directors propose a dividend of 3s. 3d. per
share, amounting to 13,7311., payable on the Ist of
March next. The capital account shows that
1,033,0341. had been expended.
London, England, 1859-02-16

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY.

Lord J. RUSSELL then rose to move for leave to intro-
duce a bill to amend and consolidate the laws relating to
bankruptcy and insolvency. He said--I think it is due to
the house that I should in the first place explain the reasons
which have induced me to introduce to its notice a subject
so difficult, so intricate, and so important. It happened to
be my fortune, at a meeting last year at Birmingham for the
purpose of considering questions of social science, to be
placed in the chair of a section devoted to jurisprudence,
and the amendment of the law. That section was attended
by the present learned Attorney-General, by several gentle-
men of the profession of the law, and also by many traders
and persons engaged in commerce. I found there a general
complaint of the present state of the law in relation to bank-
ruptcy. I suggested that the various Chambers of Com-
merce and Trade Protection Societies should meet with cer-
tain gentlemen at Birmingham who had studied this sun-
ject, and that they should endeavour to come to some agree-
ment before any proposal was submitted to Parliament.
They adopted that suggestion. They met accordingly in
the early part of last year. They agreed upon the heads of

LIVERPOOL—FEE. 11.
We had a fair attendance of both town and countrY

sales proceeded only very slowly, and holders were Perot
to submit to a reduction of about Id per cental thi4

are held firmly. Peas and barley scarcely inquired for'

BLYTH AND TYNE.

The directors of this company state in their re-
port that, notwithstanding the general depression
of trade during the past half-year, the receipts of
the company have bee' very slightly diminished.
At the same time the working expenses are con-
siderably reduced, leaving the net balance larger
than that of the corresponding half-year of 1857.
The gross income of the half-year is 35,6931., which,
after deducting working expenses, interest on de-
bentures, way-leaves, and other charges, leaves a
net balance of 12,1301. applicable to dividend, out
of which the directors propose to pay a dividend
at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum on the original
preference shares, 81 per cent. on the ordinary and
extension shares, and 5 per cent. on the A and B
preference shares, which will leave a balance of
1,673/. to be carried to the reserve fund.
London, England, 1859-02-16

BILL.

Mr. C. FORSTER moved that the order for the second
reading of this bill be read and discharged,. and that the
bill be withdrawn ; also, that leave be given to bring
in a bill "to incorporate the Red Sea and India
Telegraph Company, and to enable the company to establish
and work telegraphs between Great Britain and India and
other countries ; and for other purposes connected there-
with." That Mr. Kinnaird and Mr. Gregson do prepare
and bring in the bill.
Agreed to.
Several private bills were read a first time.
THE CURRENCY,
Mr. GREER gave notice that this day fortnight he
would ask whether there had been any depreciation in the
value of gold, or whether such was likely to take place ;
and also whether any means had been adopted to prevent a
depreciation in the value of the current coin of the realm.
COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND.
Mr. 0. GORE gave notice that to-morrow he would
move for returns of any arrangements that had been
adopted for improving the postal communication with Ire-
land.
ARMY ESTIMATES.
General PEEL laid the army estimates on the table.

THE DESPATCH OF LORD CANNING TO THE

COURT OF DIRECTORS.
Sir DE LACY EVANS asked the Secretary of State for
India whether he would lay on the table of the house
a copy of this despatch dated the 6th July, 1858, on the
subject of certain assertions publicly made in this country,
injurious to the character of the members of Lord Can-
ning's Council in India.
Lord STANLEY said ho had no objection to produce
the documents in question.
BLOWING MUTINEERS FROM GUNS.
Mr. RICHARDSON asked the Secretary of State for
India whether orders had been given fur the discontinuance
in the British service of the practice of blowing human
beings from guns ?
Lord STANLEY said that he hoped the time had
arrived for the cessation of these punishments, but there
were no orders at present on the subject.
MR. HIGGINS, THE MASTER IN LUNACY

Mr. CLIVE, in repeating the question which he put to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night, said that he
had not an opportunity of seeing the Secretary of State
this day.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had received a communication from the Lord Chancellor
on this subject. He said he would not have appointed Mr.
Higgins to the office unless he was convinced of his being
fully qualified for the office. (Oh, oh.) It was quite un-
necessary to enter into any enquiry into the merits
of that gentleman, who had instantly and spontane-
ously resigned the office as soon as he heard what had
occurred last night in the House of Commons, not because
he did not feel himself qualified to discharge its duties,
but because, after an expression of public opinion it
was not desirable that he should retain the office. From
what he had heard respecting that gentleman from those
who had known him for years, he believed that in tender-
ing his resignation ho was acting only consistently with
his character.

AMERICAN " SPIRITUALISM."—The .73ostoa Tra-
veller has the following mysterious statement :—" We re •
gret to hear that a gentleman of this city, of distinguished
literary and scientific attainments, one who bears a vene-
rated name, and whose genius and science have given an
important improvement to the cities of the United States,
has been so far bewildered in the mazes of spiritualism as to
believe that he is wrongly mated with an amiable and de-
voted wife, and has found his spiritual affinity with another
young lady. As we have been informed, the wife, though
heartbroken by the development, and having one child,
has assented to the request of ber husband for a separation,
and he has gone to Indiana to procure a divorce, in order
that he may marry. his new affinity., who we believe is, like
his wife, a lady of Intelligence, aaaability, and irreproach-
able in character."

We resume our notice of Mr. 'MACINTOSH'S new
strategies in warfare. He says—" Having briefly,
but I trust clearly, explained my new system of
terminating wars,' I shall now state what steps I
took to bring my invention before the British Go-
vernment."

Mr. MACINTOSH communicated to Lord ABER.
DEEN (then Prime Minister) on 13th June, 1853,
the nature and properties of his invention, which
is nothing less than a method of annihilating fleets
and destroying the fortifications of an enemy,
without the possibility of failure, the means being
inexpensive, simple, and very easily applied by the
admiral of any fleet.

He was directed to communicate with the Right
Hon. Sir J. GRAHAM, then First Lord of the Admi-
ralty, who, after an explanation of his plan, simply
informed him, by letter, that "their Lordships
desire to thank you for your communication."

Being convinced that England was fast drifting
into a war of some magnitude with a nation whose
powers of defence our Admiralty was partially
ignorant of, he embarked for Constantinople in
December, 1853, with a supply of materials, for
the
purpose of carrying out his system in connec-
tion with the Turkish Government, by whose
permission
and joint assistance he had hoped to
have destroyed the Russian fleet then within the
harbour of Sebastopol.
Owing to the fact that England had not yet
declared war with Russia, Lord STRATFORD DE
REDCILFFE, our Ambassador, was unable to assist
him, but strongly recommended his immediate
return to England, and again to communicate with
our Government. lie consequently returned for
that purpose, and on the 18th March, 1854, re-
ceived an official letter from Captain O'BRIEN,
private secretary to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, requesting
him "to call at the Admiralty and inquire for
Admiral BERKELEY, who will attend to the matter
which you are desirous of bringing under the
notice of the Government."
He had an interview with Admiral BERKELEY
(then First Sea Lord), and, after having clearly
explained the peculiarities and capabilities of his
new system of warfare, which the Admiral acknow-
ledged to thoroughly
understand and appreciate, he
nevertheless considered that our improved steam
fleets could accomplish much more against land
defences than was possible to be f
Per ormed by
sailing ships of war. Mr. Macrzurosu states
that the novelty and humanity of my system
appeared so extraordinary, that the Admiral es-

THE SUN.
WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 16, 1859.
London, England, 1859-02-16

SOUTH WALES.

The directors state in their report that the de-
pression in the trade of the country has continued
to exercise an injurious effect upon the traffic
during the past half-year. The receipts during
that period amounted to 173,6671. as against
188,5051. for the corresponding half of 1857, show-
ing a decrease of 14,8381. This result is attributable
in a great measure to the depression of the iron and
coal trades, and also to the increased competition
caused by the extreme lowness of the freights for
shipping. Some improvement has taken place in
the traffic receipts, and from intimations which
have been received from some of the largest coal
freighters upon the railway the directors believe
that they are justified in looking forward to the
resumption of mere active operations during the
current year. In addition to diminished receipts,
the revenue is also affected by the charge of 5,0001.
on account for the relaying of the line to the west
of Swansea, of 5001. on account of the moiety of the
cost of the Newport station, and by a sum of 2,0001.
credited to the accident account and now charged
against revenue. In comparing the expenses of
the last half-year with those of the corresponding
period of 1857, it will be seen that there is an in-
creased charge for maintenance of way. The ba-
lance of 50,9951. will, after meeting all preference
charges admit of the payment of a dividend
at the rate of 2k per cent. per annum, leaving
2,3211. to be carried forward to the next half-
year. The expenditure charged to capital
during the half-year has been limited to 24,0631.
The capital remaining to be issued under the
powers of the Act of 1855 amounts to 379,9801.
Of this sum the directors propose at present to
raise about 200,0001., of which it is assumed that
100,0001. will be required in the course of the next
12 months, the remainder being raised at such later
period as the requirements of the company may
render necessary. The capital is required to meet
liabilities already existing, and for the construction
of works rendered necessary to meet the demand
for increased accommodation, more particularly at
Milford Haven. The capital account shows that
4,490,5491. had been received, and 4,457,7051. ex-
pended, leaving a balance of 32,8441. The revenue
account for the half-year ending 31st of December
last showed that 173,6681. had been received, and
110,7081, expended, leaving a balance of 62,9601.

AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON.
The directors of this company state that the
available balance amounts to 13,7621., from which
the directors propose a dividend of 3s. 3d. per
share, amounting to 13,7311., payable on the Ist of
March next. The capital account shows that
1,033,0341. had been expended.

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY.

Lord J. RUSSELL then rose to move for leave to intro-
duce a bill to amend and consolidate the laws relating to
bankruptcy and insolvency. He said—l think it is due to

the house that I should in the first place explain the reasons
which have induced me to introduce to its notice a subject
so difficult, so intricate, and so important. It happened to
be my fortune, at a meeting last year at Birmingham for the
purpose of considering questions of social science, to be
placed in the chair of a section devoted to jurisprudence,
and the amendment of the law. That section was attended
by the present learned Attorney-General, by several gentle-
men of the profession of the law, and also by many traders
and persons engaged in commerce. I found there a general
complaint of the present state of the law in relation to bank-
ruptcy. I suggested that the various Chambers of Com-
merce and Trade Protection ,Societies should meet with cer-
tain gentlemen at Birmingham who had studied this sun-
ject, and that they should endeavour to come to some agree-
ment before any proposal was submitted to Parliament.
They adopted that suggestion. They met accordingly in
the early part aide year, They agreed upon the heads of

flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-

it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

Mr. E. V." Gardner, professor of chemistry to
the institution, is now delivering a new lecture
upon " Flame and its resistants," which bids fair to
outrival all his former efforts, highly successful as
they have been. When we for a moment recollect
how frequently we have had to notice this gentle-
man's new lectures we are astonished at his won-
derful
.powers as a lecturer. Every subject he
takes in hand is placed before his audience
in a manner that rivets their attention, and
thus much highly useful information is nightly
and daily disseminated. The object Mr. Gard-
ner appears .to have in view in his new
lecture on flame is to prevent those frightful acci-
dents that have been so frequent of late, viz., the
ignition of ladies' dresses, especially since crinoline
has come into fashion. " Now," said Mr. Gardner,
"if ladies would only take the trouble to mix
with their starch a small quantity of sal
ammonia, boraX, alum, or either of the phosphates
of soda or ammonia, or the silicate of potash or
impossible
to all danger would be avoided." It is
to correctly estimate the value of such useful
information, and we trust it will not be disregarded
by the fair sex. The lecture was illustrated with
experiments upon the fireproof material discovered
by Signor Buono Core, " the Italian Salamander."
Truly, the gentleman is correctly named, for he
remains unscathed in the midst of hundreds of jets
of gas, his clothes blazing away with fire and
flame, and the very boards on which he walks being
ignited with combustion. This feat is also intended
to show the efficacy of this new chemical prepara-
tion to prevent ignition.
Another attraction has also been added to the
already long list of amusement, in the shape of a
lecture, illustrating the beauties of Gay's "Beggar's
Opera." The lecturer was Mr. Lennox Home.
The principal airs from the opera are admirably
sung by Mr. Thorp Reed and Miss Roden, who has
proved a great acquisition to the institution.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The Sunday Times
understands that her Majesty's Theatre will be converted
into an hotel, a lease having been recently granted by Lord
Ward for that purpose to certain parties.—The Musical
lir!ln a short time her Majesty's Theatre
may be
saysexpecTed" to open in a very strong sense of the
word. Not only will the doors revolve on their hinges,
but the very walls wilt be removed, or, at least, perforated
in new fashion ; and in lieu of the voices of Piccolomini
and Giuglini, the sound of hammer and saw will be heard
in the Haymarket, to be succeeded after a while by the
clatter of knives and forks. There seems, in shok, to be no
doubt that-the old opera-house has been ptirchased by a
joint-stock company, who intend to convert it into 4 huge
hotel, managed after the Transatlantic fashion,"

BLYTH AND TYNE.

The directors of this company state in their re-
port that, notwithstanding the general depression
of trade during the past half-year, the receipts of
the company have bee* very slightly diminished.
At the same time the working expenses are con-
siderably reduced, leaving the net balance larger
than that of the corresponding half-year of 1857.
The gross income of the half-year is 35,6931., which,
after deducting working expenses, interest on de-
bentures, way-leaves, and other charges, leaves a
net balance of 12,1301. applicable to dividend, out
of which the directors propose to pay a dividend
at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum on the original
preference shares, 81 per cent. on the ordinary and
extension shares, and 5 per cent. on the A and B
preference shares, which will leave a balance of
1,673/. to be carried to the reserve fund.
