LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—By the May, Captain
Millard, we have advices from Buenos Ayres to the
3d of August.
The papers announce the ratification of the treaty
negotiated by Mr. Southern.
A severe hurricane had been experienced at Buenos
Ayres and its vicinity, causing much damage to the
shipping and to property in the town. The French
brig Lamtnenais, ready to sail for Havre, parted her
anchors and came in contact with the French barque
Nouveau ProvenAl, losing topmasts, rudder, and
boats, and having her stern stove in. She afterwards
went on shore at the north of the Mini, and was con-
demned. The Nouveau Provencal by the collision
lost topmast, boats, and anchors, and drove on shore
at the Alra Viej a, being likewise condemned.
The French . barque Zillia sailed from Buenos
Ayres for Havre on the 18th of July, and was
wrecked on the 21st on the Palena Rock, not far from

anchors,. but brought up in safety ; the Archimedes
rode out the gale • the Hibbert lost one man and a
boat ; the Clemanthe lost a boat ; and the Mercurius
went on shore, and was dismasted.
Our mercantile advices are devoid of interest.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN.

The half yearly meeting of this company was held
on Saturday at Dublin ; Mr. J. E. Redmond in du)

The report stated that the directors have given no-
tice to the itlilway Commissioners that the line to
K.ikerny, will he t•pen for public traffic on the 28th
of October. The line could have been opened in Sep-
tember were it not for some difficulty in settling with
the Waterford and Kilkenny Company as to thq sta-
tion arrangements at Kilkenny, and other matters of
importance to this company, which rendered it neces•
nary to refer the points of difference to arbitration.
These matters are now :adjusted, and although the
award is higher than was anticipated, yet the board
are of opinion that it is for the interest of the com-
pany to have the question settled. The application to
the Exchequer Loan Commissioners for a. advance
of 35,000/. to complete the line has been acceded to,
and as arrangcmet,ts with the Waterford and Kil-
kenny Company are now concluded, the first instal-
ment may be expected immediately. Negotia-
tions for working the line between Carlow
and Kilkenni, are at present pending, and
it is hoped that a satisfactory arrangement
will be come to, so as to limit the working exe
penses to the smallest amount corsiste,nt with
efficiency. As the several contracts for works are
now nearly completed, the board will be enabled to
direct their attention to closing the capital account,
and will use their best exertions to do so before the
next half-yearly meeting. It is recommended that
interest to the Ist of September at the rate of '4 per
cent. per annum be paid on all shares not then in
arrear of calls. The accounts to the 30th of June
last showed that 182,7941. had been received, includ-
ing 5,9751. from traffic on the line, and 179,6561. ex-
pended, including 6,813/ for the traffic department,
leaving a balance at the bankers' of 3,1381.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report and ac-
counts were adopted.
A short discussion ensued, in the course of which
the engineer's report on the state of the works was
read and adopted ; and, after a vote of thanks to the
Chairman, the meeting separated.

WATERFORD, -WEXFORD, WICKLOW, AND DUBLIN.
—lt appears that a requisition is in course t.f signa-
ture by the registered shareholders for a dissolution
of the company, in consequence of the directors hay-
log intimated to Messrs. Lewis and Nash, who are
acting for the dissentient shareholders, that on receipt
of a requisition signed by a majority of the share-
holders they will consent to the winding up of the
company's affairs.
LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT.—An in-
teresting event, as regards this "omnibus" railway
took place yesterday in the opening of the through
line to Liverpool. Hitherto much inconvenience to
the public has been caused in consequence of theline
being only opened between Waterloo and Southport,
the former place being six miles from Liverpool.
Omnibuses have bad to convey the passengers be-
tween Liverpool and Waterloo; but the opening of
the line throughout does away with this inconvenience
to the public. The line having been inspected by the
Government officer, was formally opened by the di-
rectors on Saturday last, and found to be in every
respect ready for traffic. In order to avoid the enor-
mous expense which would necessarily have been
incurred by making an independent entrance
into Liverpool, the directors at the time
they obtained their Act of Parliament en-
tered into an arrangement with the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Company to run into their line about.
three miles from Liverpool, and also to make use of
their station near the Exchange. This has been fully
carried out, and the trains this morning started from
the station already named. Terms have been agreed
upon with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company to
work the line, finding both carriages and locomotive
power, and this morning the latter named company's
engines and carriages traversed the line. A valua-
tion of the carriages, engines, &c., belonging to the
Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport Company is imme-
diately to be made, after which they will be handed
over to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company in
pursuance of the terms of the agreement. The open-
ing of this line is considered of the greatest import-
ance to the immense number of Liverpool merchants
and others who reside out at Bootle, Seaforth, Wa-
terloo, and other places on the banks of the Mersey.
IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN.—The half-yearly meeting
of this company was held in Dublin on Saturday.
The report stated that the line would be open for
traffic on the 28th October. The application to the
Exchequer Loan Commissioners for an advance of
35,000/. to aid the completion of the line had been
acceded to, and as the arrangements with the Water-
ford and Kilkenny Company were now concluded,
the first instalment might be expected immediately.
The report recommended that interest to the Ist of
September instant, at the rate of 4 per cent. per
annum, be paid on all shares not then in arrear. A
statement of accounts was then submitted, after which
the report was agreed to, and the meeting separated.
GLASGOW TERMINUS AND HARBOUR.—This
pang held their half-yearly meeting at Glasgow on
Friday. Much allusion was made to the Caledonian
Company ; and, in the course of the discussion, the
chairman mentioeed that neither the line, nor the Act
under which it was made, bad been handed over to
the Caledonian, whilst they had received 47,0001. out
of the 107,0001. which was to be its price. The
report, which recommended that " a part of the in-
terest accruing on the profit of land sold should again
be devoted to the payment of a dividend for the cur-
rent half-year, at the rate of five per cent. per annum,
free of income-tax, payable on the 11th of November
next," was agreed to.
GLASGOW, BARRHEAD, AND NEILSTON.-011 Fri-
day the proprietors of this line held their half-yearly
meeting, when they adopted the report presented by
the directors. This document stated that the directors
had resolved " that the most energetic measures should
be adopted for enforcing payment of the stipulated
rent, and for fulfilment of the various obligations rest-
ing on the Caledonian Company under the Ltasing
Act, and they have given directions for these being
immediately proceeded with. They have been ad-
vised by counsel, and are themselves satisfied that
these claims must be met and provided for by the Ca-
ledonian Company, and that that company has the
means of doing so, and that any opposition they may
offer thereto is untenable at law, and in direct oppo-
sition to the engagements and arrangements formally
and deliberately entered into by the two companies.
and sanctioned by express Parliamentary enactments,
Your directors have, therefore, no fears in regard to
the result."
STIRLING AND DUNFERMLINE.—At the half-yearly
meeting of this company, which was held at Glasgow
on Friday, the directors' report, which has already
been published, was agreed to after considerable de-
bate. The agreement entered into with the Edin-
burgh and Northern Company for working the line
was confirmed; and the directors were authorised to
make a call during the winter if such should be ne-
cessary for completing the line.
NEW RAILWAY SIGNAL.—OH the 23d ult. a trial,
regarded as successful, was made on the Caledonian
Railway, of a new signal for enabling passengers and
guards in a train to communicate with the engine-
driver. The mechanism of the signal and modes of
operation are thus described :—Over a series of pul-
leys, centered in pillars fixed to the roofs of carriages,
was passed a wire attached to the engine steam whis•
tle, and extended to the guard's seat at the end of the
train, while branch wires communicated with each of
the passengers' compartments. The inventor took his
position at the guard's seat, and several scientific
gentlemen occupied the compartments. The result
was most satisfactory—the connexion most complete;
every pull at the wire brought forth an answering
whistle from the engine. The inventor is Mr. Cop-
ling, one of the directors of the Caledonian Railway
Company.—Edinburgh Post.

THE PRINTERS' PENSION SOClETY.—Yesterday
evening a meeting of the committee of management, and
other friends and supporters of the above laudable institution,
for the relief of aged and infirm printers and their widows,
was held at the London Tavern, for general bu,iness. The
report (being the 23d of the society's existence) for the past
year of the general state and progress of the society's affairs,
showed that no retrograde movement had taken place during
that period. The funded property at the date of the last
audit amounted to 5,5121. 175.3 d., with the Commisioners for
the Reduction of the National Debt, produced an annual
in once of 207/. 6s. 10d. The amount paid to pensioners
last year was 55e1. 163. The income from all sources etas
9101. 188. 2d., and the expenditure 807/. 6s. Since the in-
stitution was founded (independent of the present number of
pensioners) 1.13 persons bad received its benefit. The report
concluded with an appeal for support, it being presumed
sufficient inducement had been held forth to point out the
absolute necessity for unceasing exertion on the society'.
behalf.
