and wis the perfect terror of the neighbourhood in
which be resided. Three constables belonging to the L
division, whom he had kicked in a tender paat of their
person and had otherwise ill-used, were et present suf-
fering, and would, in all probability, up to the last
moment of their existence, be martyrs to his brutality,
and one poor fellow had actually died from the effects of
the injuries he had inflicted. The prisoner had been
frequently summarily convicted for assaulting the con-
stableF, and on one occasion was tried at the sessions
and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment for a
simPar offence.

The prisoner in reply to the charge said that he had
been first assaulted by Mr. Harvey and his fiends.
. This was positively denied, and the prisoner was eon-
ricteJ in two penalties of 31. each, or two months' im-
prisonment, and for a third offence (that of assaulting
the constable), he was sent to prison for one month.

The ruffian on leaving the dock said the police had
better hang him at once.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE
SOUTH-EASTERN.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday
at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, for the pur-
pose of considering the propriety of admitting the holders
of the No. 3 and 4 shares in the company to a participa-
tion in all .dividends to be hereafter declared, including
the current half-year's dividend; Mr. J. Macgregor in
the chair.
Mr. HERBERT, the secretary, read the advertisement
convening the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by stating
that the Bill promoted in Parliament by the directors to
discontinue the payment of interest out of capital after
the 30th of June last on the No. 3 and 4 shares, and to
entitle them afterwards to participate in the general
dividend, was rejected by Parliament on the opposition
of a proprietor holding only No. 4 shares. The Bill
being rejected, and the whole of the capitate raised by
means of the No. 3 and 4 shares being exhausted, the
directors consulted eminent counsel as to the course the
company under the circumstances could legally. pursue,
and the result was they advised that as the capital of the
No. 3 and 4 shares had been exhausted, the company
could not legally pay interest out of any other capital.
but that it would be fair and equitable for the body of
shareholders to admit the holders of No. 3 and 4 shares
to participate in the general dividend, including the cur-
rent half-year's dividend, without waiting for the com-
pletion of those lines for which those capitals were
created. They recommended that the measure should
be submitted to a general meeting of proprietors spe-
cially convened for the-purpose. The directors unanimously
concurred in theviews and advice of counsel, and they were
confident that the proprietors would give their sanction
to the measure.—(Hear, hear.) The half-yearly meeting
would be held on the 19th of September next, at which
time the proposition would be again submitted for their
confirmation. By the adoption of this measure they
would place the whole property of the company on a
uniform and permanent basis, they would improve the
company's credit,' and enhance the value of their stock.
He concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that
the holders of the No. 3 and 4 shares be admitted to
participate in the current dividend, and in all future di-
vidends of the company.
Mr. KENNARD seconded the resolution.
Mr. SWIFT said he had an amendment to propose,
that the resolution be not adopted, as the same would
tend to a breach of faith with this company, and there-
fore the shareholders can no longer feel confidence in
their present chairman. The contract was entered into,
in 1847, with the holders of the No. 3 and 4 shares,
that they were to receive a dividend at a rate not
exceeding 5 per cent., until six months after the open-
ing of certain lines. Considering the litigation at
present pending, it was not clear to him when they
should have a dividend. He held a very large in-
terest in those shares, and if the resolution were car-
ried it would injure his property, and be very un-
just towards other proprietors. He then entered into a
statement of the proceedings he had adopted to oppose
the Bill in Parliament, promoted by the directors, for
the discontinuance of the payment of interest on the No.
3 and No. 4 shares. He also endeavoured to get a clause
inserted in the money Bill for the continuation of the
payment of the 5 per cent. interest on the No. 3 and No.
4 shares, which he thought would meet the case. From
first to last he was defending his own personal interest
in the matter. He had told the directors in April lust
that he would go on with his opposition to the Bills un-
less they came to such an agreement with him as would
place him in the same position in which he would be if
the Bills did not peas. In this proceeding he considered
that be was defending his own interest. In the month
of June his ;cent, Mr. Coates, and the agent of the com-
pany, Mr. Venables, met several times during ten days
up to the 23d of June, on the subject of a compromise;
but when it was, as he thought, on the point of being
settled, he received a letter from Mr. Freeman, the soli-
citor to the company, stating that it was not creditable to
prosecute such negotiations any further. He did not think
that it a as possible to conduct the business of thecompany
in that way. He wished to avoid litigation, and to come to
an arrangement. The opposition went on in the House
of Lords with a view to obtain the continuance of the in•
terest on the No. 3 and 4 shares out of the new capital.
At length it was agreed that the parties should meet
Lord Redesdale to discuss the matter; Mr. Macgregor,
Mr. Coates, Mr. Venables, and himself were present,
and it teas understood by Lord Redesdals, Mr. Coates,
and hirnsel, that Mr. Macgregor on the part of the com-
pany, had agreed to pay up the interest on the No. 3
and 4 shares to the 31st of July. and to pay all the ex-
penses," amounting to about 130/. A long correspond-
ence subsequently ensued, which showed that some mis-
understanding existed, and he was quite at a loss to
know from that correspondence what the chairman con-
siders to be the agreement. He feared that this mode of
proceeding would have the effect of involving the com-
pany in eternal litigation.—(Hear, bear:) He contended
that the meeting could not settle the matter by passing
the resolution; he would object to it, and he had no
doubt it would lead to further litigation.
Mr. SMITH did hope that a committee of independent
et areholders would be appointed to consider the matter.
Mr. LEVY was anxious that every justice should be
done to the holders of the No. 3 and 4 shares, If a
promise was held out that the dividend should be paid
up to July on those shares, let it be paid, and let the
company keep its engagements. Parties might have
bought the shares on the faith that the interest would
have been continued up to July last.
Mr. LONGMORE did not consider the proceeding a
proper one. which was referred to by Mr. Swift; it was
one which had for its object the protection of one share-
holder at the expense of the others. He was surprised
that such a negotiation should have been entertained.
He thought it very desirable that litigation should be
avoided, and suggested that some amicable course should
be adopted to promote the general interests of the
company.----(Hear.) It appeared to him surprising that
with their large receipts per mile, approaching in
amount to those on the Great Western Railway, their
shares should be only 131. or 141, each. He concluded
by proposing an amendment, that a committee of the
No. 3 and 4 shareholders be appointed to confer with
the directors as to the best mode of disposing of the
question, and that the meeting be adjourned to a certain
day to be named. He hoped that Mr. Swift would
withdraw his amendment.

The CIUIRMAN explained that the object of the
resolution was to consolidate the interests of the No.
3 aid 4 shareholders, representing capital to the amount
of 3,653,7001., as well as of the interests of the No. 1
and No., 2 shareholders, representing capital to the
amount of 3,780.0001., together amounting to 7,433,7001.
Mr. G. SNIT/1 said he thought it was very wrong to
set one set of shareholders against the other. They had
all embarked in ono undertaking, and he thought a coal-
mittee should be appointed to report generally upon the
affairs of the company. He was quite certain this was
the only course to pursue, for if they went to a vote on
the question before them it would not end there. He
considered that the company had had enough of litiga-
tion already. He thought that the holders of the No. 3
and 4 shares owed a debt of gratitude to Mr. Swift.—
(Cries of "Question.")
The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Swift was not a regis-
tered proprietor until the half-yearly meeting in March
last. The probable effect of Mr. Carlisle's injunction
would be to delay the payment of the dividend about one
month. With regard to the law proceedings of the
Brighton Company, Mr. Barlow, their engineer, had
proved that there were no deviations in the works'beyond
those authorised by Parliament, and he could.sattsfy the
Railway Commissioners 'on that head. There was no
doubt the objects of the Brighton Company
would be defeated, • and the South-Eastern Com-
pany have a verdict in their favour. With
regard to the want of confidence in him expressed by
Mr. Swift, be (the chairman) bad only to say that be
bad served the company faithfully for many years
and he was quite ready to give up his seat at the board
whenever they required it. He did not ask
it the share'.
holders for sympathy or for confidence in his manage-
ment, because they bad so often expressed at former
meetings, but he asked them for protection against that
gentleman and those who acted with him.—(Great ap-
plause.) That gentleman had acted for his own sole ad-
vantage •in the proceedings he bad taken. He had
threatened a formidable opposition in Parliament to the
Bills promoted by the company, and considering the
groat influence which that gentleman possessed, and the
consequences of such an opposition, the directors, as
trustees, were bound to consider any matter submitted
to them from such a quarter. As a landholder he was
looked upon as a common enemy, but, as a private indi-
vidual protecting his own interests, he succeeded in
interesting the Commissioners and other parties,
in his favour, and the consequence was the Bill was
thrown out. With regard to the money Bill Mr. Swift
made a proposal to the effect that he would withdraw
his opposition if paid a certain SUM of money.—(Great
disapprobation.) He (the Chairman) and the
board of directors rejected the proposal ; they
could not possibly entertain it. The whole matter
was detailed in the correspondence between them
and Mr. Swift, who had Lord Redesdale on his side, and
he (the Chairman) bad Mr. Quilter and Mr. Freeman,
as to what took place lit the conference alluded to by
Mr. Swift. With regard to the proposed appointment of
a committee, ho thought they had better defer the con-
sideration of that question until the next meeting, on
the-19th of September, when the, resolution he bad pro-
posed for their adoption would agatn be brought before

them for confirmation. It had been proved by Mr.
Quitter before Parliament that more than the whole of
the capital of the No. 3 and 4 shares had been already
expended on the works for which they were created, and
there was no fund left to pay interest. With the view
of giving the holders of these shares u dividend, the pre-
s,nt measure was proposed. The weekly receipts would
enable the directirs to give them a dividend at the rate
of 3 per cent. per annum on all the shares, and there
was every probability from the nature and increase of
this traffic that at least that rate of dividend would be
maintained in future. lie then proceeded to put the
amendment proposed by Mr. Swift.

Mr. \Virs considered that the proposition of the d

rectors was a fair and :proper mei:suie.—(Hear.) Tie
did not think that Mr. Swift would iucceed in his threa-
tened opposition. He objected t,to to the appoint-
ment of a committee, because that would give Mr.
Smith an opportunity of getting the materials he wanted,
and therefore he hoped they would unanimously reject
the amendment.

Mr. NASMITH seconded the amendment of Mr. Sw

Mr. JOSIAH WILSON expressed his anxiety to avoid
litigation, and was proceeding to call the attentio❑ of
the meeting to certain alleged illegal matters, when con-
s;d-rable uproar and cries of " Question" ensued, which
induced him to proceed no further.
Mr. SWIFT contended that the company had power in
the money Bill to pay interest out of the new capital.
After some further observations and explanations, the
amendment proposed by Mr. Swift was put, and lost by
a large majority.
Mr. SWIFT demanded a poll, which he afterwards con-
sented to withdraw, in consequence of an explanation
from the chairman that it would only be a waste of time,
because the directors had received an overwhelming
majority of proxies in favour of the measure, which an-
nouncement was received with great applause.
An amendment, proposed by Mr. LONGMORE and se-
conded by Mr. SM/TH, to the effect that a committee be
appointed to confer with the directors as to the most
equitable mode of dealing with the No. 3 and 4 shares,
was rejected by a large majority.
The original motion was then carried, admitting the
No. 3 and No. 4 shares to participate in the general di-
vidends of the company.
Mr. Mitcr.,t mull said, if the directors had consented to
the proposal of Mr. Swift, he should have considered
them to be no longer worthy of the confidence of the
shareholders. The company had to contend against
fourteen different companies, and he thought the di-
rectors were entitled to very great praise for the manner
in which they bad defended the company and promoted
its interests.—(Applause.)
The proceedings concluded with a cordial vote of
thanks to the chairman and directors for their manage.
merit of the company's affairs.

STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Darlington on Wednesday. Mr. T. Meynell, jun., oc-
cupied the chair.
The report stated the coal revenue during the first
half of the present six months was, from peculiar cir-
cumstances, much less than might have been expected;
but a very satisfactory change had since taken place, and
the revenue of the month of May, viz, 17,4251., was the
largest ever entered upon their books. The increase in
the receipts for the half-year amounts to 20,536/. The
gain upon the last twelve months, after paying the in-
terest on loans, is found to be 28,4131., against 14.2421.,
the gain of the previous year. Arrangements have bean
made with many townships for reduced rating, and an
amicable agreement with nearly all the 5 per cent. bond-
holders for a lower rate of interest. There still remains
a balance of undivided profit out of former years. A
sum of about 2,000/, in addition would be required to
enable the directors to pay a dividend at the rate of 4
per cent. per annum. The capital account showed that
1,032,3801. had been received, and 979,7531. expended,
leaving a balance of 52,6271. The revenue account
showed that 82,4261. bad been received during the half-
year ending June 30. and 51,901/. expended, leaving a
talance of 13,140/. after paying 17,3771. interest on the
company's bonds.
The CHAIRMAN said it appeared that the total amount
of profit, after paying interest on loans, was only
14,2001.; they had now, however, during the last twelve
months, 28,400/., or double the former amount ; and
since the accounts bad been made up the rate of increase
was still continuing. The income for July had exceeded
that of the corresponding months of the previous year
by 10,000/. They had reduced the interest upon nearly
the whole of the company's 5 per cent. loans, which
would effect a saving to the company of nearly 1,0001. a
ye ir. As regarded assessments, they had agreed with
13 townships for a considerable reduction of the rates—a
reduction from 30,0001. to half that amount having been
effected. The benefits of these arrangements, however,
were entirely prospective, as during the past halt-year
the costs of the appeals, i nsteai of effecting any reduc-
tion, had rather augmented the expenses. Tee board
left it entirely to the shareholders to say whether a di-
vidend of 4 per cent. should be declared, or whether
they should suspend their dividends and wait until an
inerta.e of trade, of which they had the prospect,
would enable them, without trenching upon the reserved
fund, to pay the interest on their guaranteed lines, and
likewise divide a profit on their own shares. He con-
cluded by moving that the report and accounts be re-
ceived and adopted.

Mr. FLEWS Said he would prefer a small dividend to
in any 'manner infringing on the reserved fund.
After a desultory discus:ion the report and accounts
were adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent.
per annum was declared.

- The CHAIRMAN then movei that a call of 51. per
share on the unpaid•up shares be made payable on
the Ist cf October next, which was carried cloud-
moualy. _ . .

After a vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors,
he meeting separated.

PELICAN STEAMER.—This splendid vessel arrived
at Plymouth on Friday evening, having performed the voy-
age from quay to quay in twenty-two hours—the shot test on

and she had a heavy beam-sea during the entire voyage ;
thus proving herself to be a Brat-rate boat— Corn
