SOCIETY FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF
INDUSTRY.—This Society has been formed for the purpose
of diffusing sound information respecting the CAUSES of the PRE-
SENT_ DISTRESS, and the MEANS through which a REMEDY is
to be found, with a view to RELIEVE the INDUSTRIAL CLASSES
from the weight by which their energies have been so long oppressed.
It-is well known that in consequence of au insufficient remuneration
for their exertions the productive portions of the community have
long been unable to obtain even a moderate share of the comforts of
life, and that an almost incredible amount of mental, moral, and
physical evil has been the result. The Committee, therefore,
earnestly appeal to all who take an interest in the welfare of their
fellow-men for aid to carry-out their designs. The time is lit, the
circumstances most opportune, and the achievement of their object
would procure a benefit for the community alike permanent and
extensive. By order of the Cmittee,
B om.
CLARKE, Secretary.

THE OCCUPATION OF SINDE.
In the dispatches laid before Parliament since the
opening of the session, relative to Sinde, we find the
following important letter, addressed by Lord. Ellen-
borough to the Secret Committee. It correctly states
that, after late occurrences, there was no alternative
but that recommended by Sir 11. Pottinger, to take
possession of the country, and that the Ameers had
no right to the territory, except—the right of the
sword. They were regular freebooters under the
Sovereigns of Caubul, they conquered the native
population, and then refused to pay tribute to their
masters. "The abolition of slavery in Sinde," says
his Lordship, has produced an extent of relief far
beyond what I had expected." (From the " Corres-
pondence relative to Sinde, No. 140.)
" THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL TO THE SECRET COMMITTEE.
".Allahabad, June 26, 1843.
"On the withdrawal of the British armies from
Caubul to the- Sutlej, I had to decide what course I
should pursue with respect to the Lower Indus. I had
to decide whether the. Lower Indus should be altogether
evacuated, and our armies everywhere resume the posi-
tions they occupied before the Affghan war; or whether,
while the old positions were re-occupied upon the
Sutlej, certain points should still be held upon the
Lower Indus, which would ensure the strict perfor-
mance" of commercial treaties, and give us the military
command of that river.
"The withdrawal to the Sutlej, and the withdrawal
from the Lower Indus, appeared to me to be very dif-
ferent questions. The withdrawal to the Sutlej was
dictated by the ;clearest views of military and political
prudence. I shall not recapitulate the reasons for that
measure, as they have been placed on record in what
has been called my proclamation of the Ist Oct., 1842.
" I have adopted every measure which could have the
effect of giving the appearance of triumph to the return
of the armies from Caubul ; but still it was a retirement
from an advanced position, and it was the first retire-
ment ever rendered necessary lo a British army.
" I was deeply sensible of the impression which the
reverses at Caubul had produced upon the minds of
native Princes, of the native population, and of oar own
troops. I knew that all that had taken place since, and
all I had said and done although it must have much di-
minished, could not have obliterated, that impression,
and restored to our•Governinent, and to our army, the
place they had before held in the opinion of India.
" To have added to 'retirement to the Sutlej, retire-
ment from the Lower Indus`; to have abandoned every
part of the advanced position we had taken up in 1839 ;
to have withdrawn from Kurachee and from Sukkur
amidst the insults, and exposed, as we should have been to
the attacks of the Beloochees upon our rear guard; to have
practically abandoned, as we should thereby have done,
all the benefits which we might expect ultimately to
derive from the commercial treaties concluded in 1839
(for it was idle to imagine after what had passed, that,
without the presence of force, those treaties would be
observed) ; to have abandoned all the great prospective
advantages which may be expected to be derived from
substituting the Indus for the Ganges, as the line of
military communication between England and the north-
west provinces, and to have left open to the ambition of
the Sikhs, or of an European power, that route of which
we had demonstrated the practicability and the import-
ance ; to have done all these things, without positive
instructions from you, or without some overpowering
necessity, would have been, in my opinion, contrary to
my duty, because inconsistent with our national interest
and the national honour.
" Such a measure would have confirmed the most ex-
aggerated accounts which had been circulated of our
disasters. It would have been humiliating to the army.
" There was no overpowering necessity for retirement.
There is no difficulty in holding the positions of Kura-
chee and Sukkur. The first is, during the largest por-
tion of the year, accessible in a few days from Bombay ;
the latter is, during the whole year, accessible in less
than three weeks from Ferozepore. We can besides
command the river by our steam-vessels, if we have a
sufficient number of them well adapted to the navigation,
" The misinterpretations placed upon some provisions
of the commercial treaty, and the various violations of
its letter and of its spirit, even while our armies were
in force in Sinde, satisfied me that, unless some penalty
were imposed upon the Ameers for such infractions of
their engagements, there could be no security whatever
for their future observance.
"I saw troops collected by the Ameers, contrary to
their usage, and without legitimate cause ; but such col-
lection of troops in-the presence of a British army is, in
itself, an offence, and an indication of hostility not to be
misunderstood or overlooked.
" With respect to the authenticity of certain letters of
hostile character, ascribed to the Ameers, or to their
agents, you will have observed how strongly I impressed
upon Sir Charles Napier the necessity of caution in
coming to a decision on that point. I had, however, the
fullest reliance upon his sense of justice ; and with this
reliance I felt that he, on the spot, with every opportu-
nity of personal commmunication with those conversant
with such matters, was infinitely more competent to form
a correct conclusion than I could be at Simla. To him,
therefore, I confidently remitted the question.
" I am satisfied with the grounds upon which he de-
cided that the letters were authentic. -
" Major Outram's doubt as to the authenticity of the
letter of Meer Roostum Khan to the Maharajah Shere
Sing, appears to have rested upon the circumstances of
the party whose information led to the seizure of the
letter being inimical to Meer Roostum Khan ; but, as-
suredly, information tending to criminate Meer Roos-
t= could not be expected from one .of his friends.
Lieutenant Postans believed the document to be genuine.
Major Outram's suggestions to Mr. Clerk, as to the
use which might be -made., of the letter, could hardly
have been given, had ,be entertained a serious
doubt of its authenticity. Mr. Clerk never had the
opportunity of elucidating, in a personal conference with
the Maharajah, in which he thought it could best be
done, the doubts to wbich this letter and the intercepted
letter to Deivan Sawan Mull, gave rise ; doubts which
in his mind must have bad reference more to his
belief in the loyalty of the Maharajah, to whom the
letter was addressed- by Meer Roostum Khan,
than to his confidence 'in that of Meer Roostum, who
was unknown to him. Mr. Clerk truly observes, that
he does not think the qiestion could, at any time, be
well judged of here,' that is, at Simla. I thought so too,
and therefore 'referred the question altogether to Sir C.
Napier, and the officers employed in Sinde.
" It appears, by Sir Charles Napier's letter of the 17th
November, that Major Outram had doubts whether Meer
Roostum was privy to the writing of the letter; but that
the letter had his seal, and was written by his con-
fidential Minister, there was no doubt. Lieutenant
Brown assured Sir C. Napier that there could not be the
slightest doubt of the authenticity of the letter. There
has been no officer employed in Sinde upon whose
opinion I would more confidently proceed than on that
of Lieutenant Brown. Every-thing that has come to my
knowledge, with regard to that officer, has tended to
make me entertain a feeling of great respect for his
ability and character.
" But while doubts have thus been thrown upon the
letter of Meer Roostum to the Maharajah, none have
been entertained with respect to the proposed agreement
between Meer Roostum and Meer Nusseer Khan, bind-
ing them to act together in every affair, whether for
good or evil, peace or war ;' which proposed agreement,
to the best of the judgment and belief of Major Outram,
is in the handwriting of Meer Roostum himself. When
that proposed agreement is considered, in connection
with Meer Nusseer's conduct, and with the collection of
troops, before any intimation was given to the Ameers.
of any intention of proposing any modification of the
treaty, it is impossible to view it in any other light than
as an act of hostility.
" That the letter of Meer Nusseer Khan to Beebruck
Boogtie bore his seal there can now be no doubt. The
seal upon that letter, by all before believed to be that of
Meer Nusseer, was found to correspond exactly with the
seal upon a letter of that Ameer, which bore also the
handwriting of his confidential moonshee.
" Much care appears to have been taken to investigate
all the circumstances attending the escape of Mahomed
Shurreef. It seems impassible to doubt the participation
of Meer Roostum's Minister in that escape of an enemy
to the British Government, proceeding to act hostilely
against us.
" I cannot admit the convenient doctrine that a chief
is not to be responsible for the act of his Minister. That
Minister, known to be so hostile to the British Govern-
ment, remained with Meer Roostum to the last.
" I have endeavoured to judge my own conduct as I
would that of another ; and I cannot think, in reviewing
it, that in the circumstances in which I stood, I was un-
justified in requiring from the Ameers the specific modi-
fications of their engagements, which I instructed Sir
Charles Napier to propose to, them.
" These modifications of the existing treaty involved
on our part the abandonment of a considerable revenue,
payable to us every year by the Ameers, under the
name of tribute. They involved, undoubtedly, the sa-
crifice, on their part, of lands of more than equivalent
value ; but the penalty imposed did not seem dispro-
portioned, to the offence I had reason to believe they had
committed.
" You have been long in possession of the reason
which induced me to think that the abolition of tribute
was in itself a good. You have also long been aware
of the grounds on which I deemed it politic to
make a gift to the Nawab of Bhawulpore of
territory which formerly belonged to his state. Had
you disapproved of the general principles upon
which the new treaty proposed to the Ameers was
founded, still more had you disapproved of the intention
I had announced of holding military possession of certain
points upon the Lower Indus, after the evacuation of
A ffghanisten, I presume that you would have acquainted
me with that opinion ; in the absence of any intimation
to that effect, I had reason to suppose that a new treaty,
based upon those principles, if legitimately obtainable,
would not be unacceptable to you.
" Had the Ameers. seen fit to reject the treaty pro-
posed to them, and to support that rejection openly by
arms, they - would have pursued a legitimate course,

and their defeat in fair fight would have admitted of
subsequent ari.angements on the basis of their retaining
a portion of their territory, and the exercise of sovereign
authority ; but, from the first, while they of course
denied the correctness of the charges made against
them, they professed their willingness to submit to
the penalty imposed ; still they collected more troops.
At last, having drawn the British General into the
vicinity of Hyderabad, baying then actually signed the

SUPPLEMENTS GRATIS,
WITH THE DISPATCH.
In consequence of the immense demand for the DISPATCH
and SUPPLEMENT of Sunday last, containing a Mil Report of Mr.
Shell's most brilliant Speech, the Proprietors of the Dispatch,
apprehensive that numbers of persons, who may be desirous of
obtaining copies of their Journal, may be disappointed,
unless provision be made to meet such demand, have
printed a great number of extra papers to keep on sale ; and
as, when these are disposed of, others will not be obtainable, an
early application is suggested, as the Supplement which accom-
panied the Dispatch of February 4, will be necessary to bind
with those Supplements that are to follow ; so that when the
great national trial is concluded a perfect history of the affair
(including a biographical sketch of Mr. O'Connell), which may
be bound, or otherwise preserved as a matter of reference, will
be in the possession of every purchaser of this Journal, the
proprietors of which, anxious to render the account perfect, will
present (gratis) a Supplement each Sunday during the progress of
the trial, and another at the conclusion, containing all the proceedings
up to the Supplement given on Sunday last. That of Sunday next will he
comprised in 45 columns, the same size as the Dispatch, and contain
a verbatim report of the most eloquent speeches of Mr. Whiteside and
of Mr. O'Connell. •

^"
They had no claim to consideration on the ground
of ancient possession, or of national prejudice. Certainly
they had none arising out of the. goodness of that Go-
vernment. To take advantage of the crime they had
committed to overthrow their power, was a duty to the
people they had so long misgoverned.
"It was essential to the settlement of the country,
that I should take at once a decided course with respect
to the Ameers; and, having no doubt that I was justi-
fied in dethroning them, I determined on at once adopt-
ing and announcing that decision.
" Their removal from the country with which they
were no longer to be connected as Sovereigns was a mea-
sure of obvious expediency. It has apparently had the
beneficial effect I anticipated from it. the willing ac-
quiescence of the people in our rule, and the adhesion of
many of the chiefs to our Government, are already the
just rewards of an unhesitating and decisive policy,
which, in taking away every hope from the Ameers, has
given confidence to their late oppressed subjects.
"Some resistance on the part of the Ameers I regard-
ed as not an impossible event, and I considered that,
having once felt our strength, they might thereafter be
more strict observers of their engagements. Treachery,
such as that we experienced, had not come within my
calculations. A victory, decisive as that at Meeanee,
and gained under such circumstances, was to me a
wholly unexpected event. As I have said, it entirely
changed our position, and I was compelled at once to
decide what policy should be adopted in the new state of
things. I could not, for the reasons I have given, rein-
state the Ameers. Any other arrangement than I have
made would have imposed upon us all the burthen of
protecting a government, without affording us the means
of benefiting the people or ourselves. Any half mea-
sure would have failed. Adopting the decisive measure
of taking the province into our hands, I determined to
adapt the means to the end, and not to omit any step by
which security could be given to the new possession.
" The Ameers were removed beyond sea. All arrears of
revenue due to them on the day of the battle of Meeanee,
were remitted ; the transit duties were abolished ; the
neighbouring States of Joudpore and Jussulmere were,
as well as Bhawulpore, interested in the overthrow of
the Beloochees, by the intimation that Their ancient pos-
sessions would be restored. The inhabitants of Sinde
were assured, by proclamation, that the property of all
who laid down their arms would be respected. As far
as possible,the former officers of the Government were
employed, and everywhere as little change as possible
has been made, beyond that essential change of substi-
' tuting justice for injustice in the administration; The
police has already. attained some degree of efficiency.
The most able engineers will be employed for the pur-
pose of surveying, and of restoring, if it can be done, the

learning in the rarely trodden paths of Irish history, but strict im-

" The vast tracts which the Ameers have converted
into shikargahs will also be surveyed. Such of the
woods as it may be necessary to retain will be carefully
preserved ; and extensive portions of land, having the
richest soil, lately reserved for hunting grounds by the
Ameers, will be restored to cultivation.
" Some of these measures have originated with my-
self ; in others I have been anticipated by the Governor
of Sinde ; in all, I know I shall have his most cordial
co-operation.
" One of the measures which, in the first instance, I
adopted—that for the abolition of slavery—has produced
an extent of relief far beyond what I had expected. I
was by no means aware of the degree to which that
dreadful scourge of mankind had added to the misfor-
tunes of the people of Sinde.
"It is impossible to calculate the extent to which,
by opening ancient courses to the waters of the Indus,
and by extending the means of irrigation, we may im•
prove the productiveness of the soil. As little can we
calculate the extent to which the assurance of protection
given to the people may. increase their industry, and
thus finally promote their prosperity. You may be as-
sured that no exertion of mine shall be wanting to make
the conquest of Sinde by the British arms no less the
source of happiness to the inhabitants of that country,
than of advantage to our own."

PPER OF
BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
TO MR PROLTT, c.. 29, STRAND, LONDON.
19, Lisson-grove, Marylebone.
Sta,—ln recompense for the gi eat benefit I have received from the
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I feel it a duty I have long
owed to the afflicted with the excruciating torture of the Gout, to
make your valuable remedy more extensively known.
I am upwards of seventy years of age, and have, when occasion
required, used them for more than twelve years past. I have at all
tines found nothing to relieve me but them, and my firm belief is
that they are not composed of anything jurious to the constitution,
as I always find after their use, my general bodily health renewed,
and my appetite considerah`y sharpened.
Should you, Sir, think this statement worthy of insertion in your
list of testimonials, I can with truth solemnly declare the above.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
April 15, 184 ANN MOORE.
P.S —I will with pleasure answer any application in proof of this
testimony.
The never failing effects of 131,dr's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, in
curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to
them a celebrity one nailed by any medicine of past or present
times. They riot only give relief in a few hours, where the patient
has been driven nearly to madness by the excruoiating tortures of
this disease, but restored to perfect health in an inconceivably short
space of time.
They are equally speedy and certain in Rheumatism, either chronic
or acute, Lumbago, Sciatica, rains in the Head and Face, and indeed
for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in fact, such has been the
rapidity, perfect case, and complete Eat-o.y of this medicine, that it
has astonished all who have taken it, and there is not a city, town,
rvillage in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of
the benign influence of this medicine.

LONDON AND BRIGHTON
RAILWAY.
The half-yearly meeting of the Shareholders was held
at one o'clock yesterday, at the terminus, London-
bridge. The meeting was made special " for the pur-
pose of assenting to, or dissenting from, resolutions,
with reference to taking on lease one or two of both
lines of railway projected between Brighton and Hast-
ings, and between Shoreham and Chichester, and for
working the same by this Company."
John M. Parsons, the Chairman of the Company,
presided over the meeting.
The notice calling the meeting having been read,
The SECRETARY proceeded to read the report. It
stated that the receipts for ordinary traffic in the last
half-year, ending 31st December last, as contrasted with
the corresponding period of 1842, exhibited an increase
of 9,8851. Bs. 6d. There was a diminution of about
7,500/. in the working expenses ; the result of the whole
being an increase of net revenue of 17,300 L Agreeably
to the expectations held out at the last meeting, great
reductions had been carried out in the traffic depart-
ment, and in other parts of the Company's expenditure.l
The Directors of the South-Eastern Company, having
intimated, on the 29th of November, that they were
prepared to enter into negotiations, with a view to
lease the London and Brighton line, the Directors
intimated their willingness to consider any proposal which
might be made to them. On the 11th of January, the
South-Eastern Company offered a rent of 100,000/. a-
year for twenty-one years, upon condition that no com-
peting line were made.- The Directors had informed
the South-Eastern Board that they had resolved not to
accede to the terms offered, but that they would submit
the proposal to the approaching general meeting. The
Shareholders were now invited to consider this offer.
The final account against the South-Eastern Company,
had been rendered, and the total amount of their claim,
exclusive of dividends, was 364,9581. 12s. 10d. A reso-
lution would be submitted authorising the Directors to
bring the matter to a settlement. The reduction of
fares made in August last, while the advantage to the
public was unquestionable, had not been at all preju-
dicial to the Company. The Report concluded as
follows-:
" Since the last meeting mortgage bonds at 5 per cent., to
the amount of 20,0001., have fallen due, which the Directors
have renewed at 4 pet cent.
" At the last General Meeting the Directors were deprived
of the satisfaction of proposing any dividend—on the con-
trary, it will be in the recollection of the Proprietors, that at
that time the adjustment of the interest account caused an
extraordinary charge of 19,440/. Os. 9d., which left a deficit
of 3,303/. 198. 4(1., to be provided for out of this half. year's
revenue, and the Proprietors will also observe an additional
charge to its debit of 1,245/. 17s. 6d.; for claims which arose
in former half-years ; but the Directors have endeavoured to
guard against future arrears of this kind, by adopting mea-
sures to enforce the punctual delivery of the accounts.
" The Directors propose a dividend of 1/. per share, amount-
ing to 35,156/., which will leave a surplus of 2,510/. 18s. 11d.
to the credit of the current half-year.

sus meeting, viz.—Capiain Kelly, R.N., Joseph Thomson, end
Edward Wigan, Esquires, who, being eligible for re-electiM7
offer themselves accordingly.
" The Directors, in conclusion, cannot avoid congratulating
the Proprietors upon the progressive increase of the traffic on
the line, and the general prospects of the undertaking."
The CHAIRMAN said that as the report entered into
considerable detail,. his observations need not be very
extended. The expenses of the line were 26 per cent-
The smallness of the amount arose, in a great degree,'
from the circumstance of a large .portion of the line
running over those of other companies. The two main
objects in the report were the amalgamation of their
working expenses with the Dover and Croydon Railway
Companies, and the leasing of the two lines. On these
subjects he was not prepared to make any definite state-
ments ;_ the general economical result could not be
doubted. Another important point was the leasing of
the line by the South-Eastern Company. With respect
to the offer of 100,0001., in order to enable them to form
an opinion as to the propriety of accepting or re-
jecting it, he thought it best to refer the Share-
holders to the results of the last half year,
with a view of ascertaining what Was likely to be the
amount of their ultimate profits.--(Hear, hear.) The
receipts of the last half-year exceeded those of the
corresponding period in the previous year by eleven and
a half per cent. The interest paid in the year 1843 on
the balance was 56,972/4 the surplus remaining et the
present time was 37,666 L This left a clear net receipt
of 94,600/, from which they had to deduct 1,080/., being
the difference between the surplus balance of the Ist of
January, 1843, and the dividend on the South-Eastern
money, which was credited to that half-year, leaving a
clear net income of 93,5001. He would put it to the
meeting whether, under such circumstances, it was de-
sirable to accedelo the offer of the South-Eastern Com-
pany.—(Hear, hear.) The two projected lines of railway
afforded an additional argument in.favour of retaining
possession of their own line. These two lines had
undergone a good deal of investigation on the part of
the Board. Traffic cases had been obtained from persons
conversant with the subject, and the results were before
the meeting. 30,000/. was the amount of the existing
coach traffic, not taking into account posting, goods, or
casual sources of profit, or that augmentation which all
railway companies expected to occur. It was encou:
raging to know, that in spite of all that had been said
about the Brighton Company having no country beyond
it, the traffiC had been doubled within two years. He
would be happy, to give any information as to the traffic
cases of the two companies. With. respect to the esti-
mates, whilst they would guarantee them. they would
not give any guarantee with respect to anything of a
contingent eature—(Hear, hear)—but he thought, after
what had been said on that subject, there was not
likely to be any ground of complaint. —(Beer, hear.)
The account of the South-Eastern Company was now
delivered, and he trusted that the matter would be
beought--to-a -satisfactory settlement. At the last meet-
ing considerable discussion took place with reference to
the amount of 11.60C1., charged for ballasting. It was
satisfactory to find that a reduction of 3,0001. had since
taken place.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the income
arising from this line, it should be observed that, while
20s. per share was the amount of the dividend,, the re-
sult of the business would afford 245. per share.—
(Cheers.) It had been thought desirable to retain a
surplus of 2,5001.; lest there should be a falling off in the
next half-year. It was a cheering circumstance that the
business of the last half year had been carried on with-
out any accident, and that public confidence in the line
seemed perfectly restored.—(Cheers.) They must all
be acquainted with what had 'recently been said
in Parliament in relation to railway accommodation.
He felt confident that whatever might be the dis-
position of certain parties, the Government would give
Railway Companies fair play, He believed that no
complaint could be made aganAttfis Company as re-
garded third class passengers.--(Hear, hear.) The
fares for second class covered carriages, were lower in
amount than the fares formerly charged by coaches for
outside passengers. The third class passengers are
generally persons of considerable hardihood. He be-
lieved that the complaint of insufficient accommodation
originated, not with the class of persons for whom third,
class carriages were intended,- hilt with persons who,
judging from their appearance, could afford to pay' a
higher fare, and who wanted first class accommodation
for third class fare.—(Cheers and laughter.) At the
last meeting it was stated that they had made an
arrangement with the Croydon
_ Company for carrying
out the proportion of toll. The advantage of the arrange-
ment which they had made was,that they might alter their
fares if they pleased, without suffering any loss in con-
sequence. In conclusion, he begged-to say, that ho had
already intimated his intention of resigning-his situation
as Chairman of the Board of Directors. That step he
felt to be absolutely necessary, on account of the pres-
sure of the duties which he had to perform. He had
consented to retain his position for the present, but only
until a successor could be appointed. Various rumours
had been circulated to the detriment of the Board, but
he thought it best to treat them with the contempt
which, in his opinion, they merited. He would be happy
to answer any question which might be put to him pre-
vious to the adoption of the Report.
Mr. THOMSON said there was no allusion in the Re-
port to the suit pending between that Company and Sir
Isaac Lionel Goldsmid.
The CHAIRMAN said that the suit in question was not.
now proceeding.
A PROPRIETOR inquired what would be included in
the intended amalgamation with the Croydon and Dover
Line, and when the amalgamation would take place ?
The CHAIRMAN said it would include all moveable
plant; baggage, stock, engines, and everything else would
be put under one management on the Ist of March.
Mr. WisnAw complained of the falling off in the profits
of the carrying and parcel department, which ho thought
required the serious attention of the With
respect to the general profits of the Company, consider-
ing the splendid weather of the last half-year, and the
visit of a portion of the royal family to Brighton, he be-
lieved that they had arrived at the maximum number of
passengers.—(Cries of " No, no," .and laughter.)
. Mr. W. CASH suggested the propriety of a still further
reduction in the rate of fares.—(Hear, hear.) The ad-
ditional ameent received was, he believed, greatly owing
to the reduction which had already
.taken place, and he
believed that with judicious rediiction this railway would
carry thousands where it now carried hundreds.--(llear.)
Mr. H. COOPER called the attention of the meeting to
the state of the steam communication with France.
They must not rely too confidently on the promises of
the Steam Navigation Company. In his judgment, this
Company ought to take the matter into their own
hands.
Mr. P. TAYLOR spoke of the necessity of increasing
the number of Sunday trains. If the Legislature were
either not able or not disposed to pass a Sabbatarian
Bill, to restrict the power of the people to leave the
metropolis for pleasure on the Sunday, no directors of
railways had aright to accomplish that object by a side-
wind.—(Hear, hear.) lie hoped Sunday trains would
be established to the full extent of the public watitS,
coupled with the interest of the Company.
The CHAIRMAN observed that the Dover Railway
provided precisely the same amount of accommodation
on Sundays as the Brighton railway. With respect to
the question of carriage, he begged to observe that they
already carried all the goods between Brighton and
London. He could not at all agree -with the gentleman
who thought that they had reached the maximum
H num-
ber of passengers. e believed that the increase in the
last half year was not in the least degree attributable to
the royal visit, which had been referred to ; he thought
the augmentation arose from Pena-anent trains.—(Hear.)
The Report was then adopted by the meeting.
Mr. GRENFELL proposed the following resolution:—
".That this meeting do approve and confirm the deci-
sion of the Board of Directors, declining the offer made
by the South Eastern Company."
Mr. ALLFREE seconded the -resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. NASH moved:—" That the Directors have power
to take a lease of the projected Hastings Railway, at
the rate of four per cent. upon the cost of construction,
provided, such cost do not exceed 475,0001., upon the.
terms proposed by the Directors in their resolution
the 16th of January last." -
Mr. WIGAN seconded the resolution.
Mr. WISHAW proposed, as an amendment:—" That it
is not expedient for this Company to agree to the pro-
posal of the Directors for taking a lease of the proposed
line by Lewes and Hastings, unless a condition be at-
tached to the arrangement, that a guarantee be given
that one line only to Hastings be sanctioned by the. Le-
gislature."
The amendment having been-seconded,
The CHAIRMAN put the question to the meeting, and
the original resolution was carried, with two dissentients.
Captain KELLY proposed the following resolution
That the Directors have power to take a lease of
the projected Chichester line at a rent of four per
cent. per annum upon the cost of construction, provided
such cost do not exceed 300,000/, upon the terms pro-
posed, by the Directors in their' resolution of the 19th
of January last." He would only observe, in reference
to this resolution, that they had had applications for
three times as many shares as there were to be dis-
tributed."—(Cheers.)
Mr. CROWLEY seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. ROWLAND BILL moved a resolution empowering
the Directors to adjust the differences of the Company
with the South Eastern Company, in relation to the sale
of the joint portion of the line in such manner and upon
such terms as they might think fair and reasonable.
Mr. KING having seconded the resolution, it was
passed without a dissentient. •
It was then moved by the CHAIRMAN, and afterwards
seconded, "That a dividend of 'twenty shillings per
share, deducting the income-tax,. be and is hereby de-
clared payable on the 15th of March next."
The retiring Directors were re-elected.
A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman,
the meeting separated.
