THE KILKENNY AND GREAT
SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)
The hall-yearly general ►nesting of the share-
holders of this company was held to-day at the Cum-
pany's office, Delahay-street, Westminster.
George Hemery, Esq., in consequence of the ab-
sence of the Chairman, Pierce Butler, E3q., M.P.,
took the chair shortly after one o'clock.
The usual formal proceedings having been gone
through,
The SECRETARY read the following report :
" In meeting the shareholders on this occasion the di-
rectors have to express their regret that, in consequence
of the calls not having been duly responded to, they
have been unable to free the company from its pecu-
niary engagements.
" Two judgments have been obtained against the com-
pany adversely, the one at the suit of Mr. F. H. Deve-
reux, the executor of the late Harvey Devereux, Esq.,
of Kilkenny, local agent to the company, for 1,1151., in-
terest and costs ; the other at the suit of Messrs.
Hitchens, for 1,3621. 16s. 2d., interest and costs, for
engineering and surveying.
" The directors, unable to satisfy these amounts from
the very limited funds in hand, have no alternative but
to let the creditors take such steps to procure the fruits
of their judgments as they may be advised; and, in
justice to themselves, deem it right to direct the atten-
tion of the shareholders to the 36th section of the Com-
panies' Clauses Consolidation Act, which gives the cre-
ditor, unable to levy execution upon any property of the
company, a right to personal execution against the share-
holders, to the extent of the capital remaining unpaid
upan their shares." _ _

From the financial statement it appeared that up to
June, 1850, the receipts were 21,1451. 17s. 2d. ; the
expenditure, 20,022/. 14. 11d.; and that the liabilities
of the company were 3,6971.
The report and the accounts having been put and
carried,

The Cuaiumalet stated, in answer to a question of
a proprietor, that he had never received a single shil-
ling for his expenses, although it had cost him hun-
dreds to come backwards and forwards to attend the
half-yearly meetings of the company.
A resolution forfeiting fifty shares was carried
unanimously.

The following resolution was also carried unani-
mously :
"It is the opinion of this meeting that the names of
those shareholders who are in arrear of calls should be
given to tha judgment creditors prior to those of the
parties who have responded thereto."
A vote of thanks was then moved and carried to
the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
ARTILLERY. CADETS.—We are sorry to find that
very grave irregularities have again occurred in the
Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. On Saturday
last three of the junior cadets were sent to their re-.
spective homes, each in charge of a non-commissioned
officer. The nature of the offence is not generally
known amongst the students, and the authorities are
desirous that it shall to as much as possible kept a
secret. The opportunity chosen fur the departure of
the oadnders was at the time the others wet(' occupied
at their studies. The alleged offered is off so serious a
character that it is incumbent the most searching in-
vestigation should Lase place, and by the Master-
General himselc.
THE RESERVE BATTALIONS.—Their death blow has
been struck, and the four company depot system is to
be again introduced. The reduced regiments, viz., the
36th,- 42d, 67kh, and 69th, have received orders to form
a four company depot from the Ist of January; and we
have no doubt the others will shortly receive orders to
the same effect. The depots are to be under the com-
mand of the second lieutenant-colonel, with 1 major,
4 captains, 5 lieutenants, and 4 ensigns.
THE AGENCIES OF THE LATE VACANT REGIMENTS.—
By the appointment cf Prince Albert to the 60th Rifles
the agency of the two battalions of that corps has been
transmitted from Messrs, Ccx and Co. to Sir John Kirk-
land. Mr. MoGregor retrains the 74th Regiment, and
has obtained that of the 54th. The Coldstream Guards
remains with Messr). Ccx.

ROYAL A RTILLERY.—Major- General Thomas Pater-
son succeds to the command of the vacant battalion, and
Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Doweman, C. 8., and
K 0.11., to the long service pension of 4564 per annum,
and of his beinc; the Beni Jr officer of the Royal Artillery.
Colonel Oldfield, KAI., Royal Engineers, has let
Dublin on a tour of iespcteioe, and Captain Lugard, Bri-
gade Major has assumed the duties of that office.
DEPOTS IN IRELAND.—The following, stationed in
Ireland, are first on the miter for Great Britain, viz,
66th, 34th, 73d, 6ch " Roy dl," and 59
PEACEFUL STATE OF IRELAND.--In confirmation of
our article last week, we now give the following, which
clearly shows that it is not exptcted Ireland aill be agi-
..tated again, at least for some time:—" The stockades,
erected at the time of the late disturbances, at the bar-
racks at Dundalk, Kilkenny, and Carlow, and in the rear
of the new barracks at Limerick, are ordered to be
taken down and lodged in the stores of the Ordnance
Department."
ARMY AND ORDNANCE COMMITTEE.—It is rumoured
amongst military circles that the committee did not
make their report at the close of the last session, al-
though the evidence was completed, in consequence of a
considerable difference of opinion which existed amongst
the members. This, we believe, chiefly relates to the
system of agencies, and we understand Sir James Gra-
ham was strongly opposed to the arrangement at present
in existence, whilst the S. cretary-at-War was decidedly
in favour of its continuance.
REGIMENTS IN IRELAND FOR FOREIGN SERVICE.---The
following Corps stationed in Ireland are first on the
roster for foreign service, viz , 41st, 49th, 47th, 92nd
(Highlanders), 68th Light Infautry, 55th, 74th High.
lenders, 31 (Buff's), 2nd (or Queen's Royal), 40th, Ist
Royal (2nd Battalion), 43d Light Infantry (let Bat-
talion), 89th, 60th Royal Rifles (2nd Battalion), 39th,
14th, 9:13, 62nd, 17th, and 35th Regiments.
PORTSMOUTH GARRISON.—Major-General Lord Fre-
derick Fitzelarence, G.C.8., has directed officers com-
manding regiments, to cause a medical cfli:ier to attend
all bathing parades.—[An excellent regulation, and we
hope a general order will be issued on the subject.--
Ed. U.S. G. ]
THE DEATH VACANCY IN THE EAST INDIES.—It will
have been seen by our last week's intelligence that Cap-
tain Cockburn, of the 111 g-ship, has been promoted to
the death vacancy in the Rattlesnake, and not Comman-
der Cracroft, of the Reynard, as confidently reporter'.
Commander Cracroft, it is said, was about to resign the
command of the Reynard, on his return from the Peiho
river, to return to England on a matrimonial expedition.
Commander Rice, son of the M.P. for Dover, as we an-
ticipated, has been promoted to the vacaflcy, vice Cock-
burn. This gallant officer has obtained his promotion
just about the same time as he would, doubtless, have
received it had he continued First Lieutenant of the
Thetis, 38.
THE ASSISTANT-SURGEONS.—We have heard from
good authority that it is the intention of the assistant-
surgeons of the royal navy to present Dr. F. J. Brown
