should be taken before it be forwarded to the secretary)
and the period fixed by such order must be particularly
attended to.
HUMBOLDT'S OPINION RELATIVE TO SIR JOHN
FRANKLIN.—A correspondent of an American paper,
writing rom Berlin, relates an interview with Humboldt
the savant, when the following opinion as to the fate of
Sir John Franklin was incidentally elicited from him:—
He thought it quite probable that Franklin had not
perished, but was still shut in by the ice, and gave se-
veral facts of voyagers whom be had seen, and who had
been for long seasons so detained in the northern seas.
The Esquimaux of the coast, he said, were not at all
dangerous; Franklin was well supplied with provisions,
and would probably yet return to give an account of his
voyage. Indeed, the report that the Esquimaux Indians
had said Out some vessels had long been fast in the ice,
away off to the north, seemed to be fully confirmed."

OXFORD, WORCESTEN, and WOL-

VERHAMPTON RAILWAY.

A half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of
this company was held yesterday afternoon at the London
Tavern; Francis Rufford, E4q., in tie chair.
On the mction that the seal of the company be affixed

to the register of shareholders,
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE wished to know if the Chair-
man had any objection to road the list of defaulters ho
had neglected to pay up tleir calls.
The CHAIRMAN said he was not in a condition to
give the names of the parties.—(Cries of " Why not?"
and loud marks of diFapprobation.)
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE—Then I shall more, as an
amendment, that as the Chairman has neglected or re-
fused to give us a list of the defaulters, the seal be not
affixed to the register.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said he certainly would not put the
amendment.—(Oh, oh.) The sealing was simply a mat-
ter of form, upon which no amendment could be put,

and therefore he should direct the sealing to proceed.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE-If you do so, you will act
illegally—(Cheers)—aud as you refu:o to take the vote
of the meeting I will take upon myself to put the amend-
ment.

The amendment was then put and nearly every band
in the room was held up in favour of it.
The SECRETARY then proceeded to seal the register
amidst considerable noise and uproar.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE—The secretary is the servant
of the company, and is laid by the proprietors; and I
caution him at his peril to seal the document.—(Cheery.)
A SHAREHOLDER—It is an insult to the common
sense of the meeting to allow the secretary to proceed
after the unanimous expression of the proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN, after a brief consultation with his
colleagues, :aid he wished it to be understood that the
sealing was simply a matter of form, and he never knew
au instal ce in which any objection bad been made to it;
but as it was the opinion of the majority that a list of
the defaulters should be read, the directors saw no
reason why they should withhold the list.—(Cheers.)
The discussion having thus happily terminated, the
register was sealed, aad the list of defaulters read by
the secretary. The total number of defaulters was 111,
who held 2,884 shares, and the amount of arrears due
from them was 85,3571. 108.
In reply to Mr. Sergeant GASELEE,
The SOLICITOR to the Company said that every exer-
tion had been made to obtain payment of the arrears,
and all defaulters whom they found to be solvent had
been proceeded against, and in many cases the directors
had succeeded in recovering the calls, but they did not
think it advisable to go to law with persons who did not
appear to be in solvent circumstances.
A SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether Mr. Pel-
ham 'Villiers, the M.P. .for Wolverhampton, whose
name was included in the list, had been sued for arrears
of calls on ten shares.
The SOLICITOR replied that no proceedings had been
taken against him.—(Cheers.)
Mr. COHEN said he was a holder of 100 shares, and
his brother of 175, which they bad purchased at 901. per
cent., but they had not paid up the last calls, owing to
the conditions by which they were to receive a guaran-
teed interest of 4/. per cent. not having been fulfilled;
and also because a great number of proprietors who had
not paid up any calls whatever had not been proceeded
against by the company.
Mr. BLACKEY said that, as a number of solvent and
influential men appeared to have not paid their calls, he
should move that a list be printed and circulated among
the proprietors, stating the number of shares held by
each, the calls due, &c.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Sergeant GASELEE,
and unanimously carried.
The CHAIRMAN then briefly stated what had been
done during the last half-)ear, as detailed in the report
which is given below, and said, with reference to the
Leeds' deputation, that the directors had no wish what-
ever to continue in office, and were ready to retire it the
proprietors could get better parties to fill their place.
This deputation, with which they had had an interview
this morning, had agreed that four of the directors
should retire, and it was his intention to propose at the
conclusion of the proceedings, that the meeting should
adjourn for a few days, in order that parties might be
selected to fill up the vacancies.
After a desultory discussion, deprecatory of the di-
rectors, it was agreed that the following report, which
was circulated in the room, should be taken as read.—

" Since the last general meeting, some of the directors,
who thought it was still possible to make an arrange-
ment with the Great Western Company, had been in
communication with the directors cf Outboard, to whom
they submitted several proposals, in the hope ot arriving
at an understanding by which they should be
enabled to complete and open for traffic some por-
tion of the line. No advance whatever could be
made towards the attainment of that object,
and the negotiations had for some time entirely
ceased. The Commissioners of Railways had,•under the
powers vested in them by a clause in this company's Act
of incorporation, formally required the Great Western
Company to proceed with the works, and to complete the
line. This step has been taken at the instance of
influential, landowners, and of the public, in-
terested in its formation, without any inter-
ference on the part of the directors, who had advisedly
abstained from either promoting or opposing
the measures cf the Commissioners. A requisition from
some of the shareholders, promoted by a committee
formed at Leeds, had lately been submitted to the beard,
calling upon them to summon a special general meetiag
for the purpose of considering and discussing a motion of
want of confidence in the present directors; but the re-
quisition not being authorised by proprietors representing
the number of shares in the company required by the
provisions of the Companies' Clauses' Act, the directors
were not justified in convening the special meeting.
They had since met a deputation from the Leeds com-
mittee, and had fully discussd with them certain propo•
eals made by them to complete and open that portion of
the line situated between Wolverhampton and the Junc-
tion with the Birmingham and Bristol Railway at
Abbot's Wood. The objects of the Leeds commit-
tee were those which the directors had in view.
The difficulty was, and had been, how to obtain the
means of accomplishing those objects, and those the
committee had failed to point out. The directors had
endeavoured to procure the requisite assistance from the
Shrewsbury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Birming-
ham, and the South Staffordshire Railway Companies;
and they had introduced a Bill into Parliament to
confer the necessary powers, but no definite arrange-
ment had yet been concluded with those companies.
A Bill bad also been introduced to authorise the trans-
fer to the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway
Company of the purchase of tae Stratford Canal and
works, according to agreement, under the terms of
which it was necessary to prosecute the Bill in the pre-
sent session. Mr. Brunel, in his report of the state of
the works generally, said that since August last no pro-
gress had been attempted to be made with any ot the
permanent works on any part of the line, except
in the completion of some unfinished roads near More-
ton, and respecting which legal proceedings had been
commenced against the company. The temporary
works required for the proper repairs and preservation
of the property of the company had been confined
to the smallest amount consistent with the actual exist-
ence of the several parts, and bad been limited mostly
to the Mickelton tunnel, and the indispensable repair
of watercourses under or in immediate connexion with,
the line: and the want of repairs of which, if neglected,
might lead to immediate and serious injuries.
During this period the works had unavoidably sustained
some little injury, such as a few slight slips in the
earthwork, some damage from frost to brickwork and
masonry, and the decay and damage to the temporary
fencing of the line, where the permanent fences are
not yet erected ; but none of these are of an im-
portant character at present, and a small outlay,
promptly applied from time to time, might preserve the
works from serious deterioration; but, without some
such provision the consequences could not fail to
become serious to the works themselves, and
might involve the company in liabilities, by
their effects on adjoining properties, roads, &c.
Considerable progress had been made in measuring up
and adjusting the accounts of the different works so
far as they had been executed, and there was every pros-
pect of effecting settlements with the several contractors
on equitable terms. An arrangement had been made for
the South Staffordshire line to run into their station at
Dudley,which would diminish the expenses ofconstruction
to that company and to them, and be mutually beneficial
by the facilities it would afford for the exchange or conti-
nuation of traffic. The attention of the directors had been
given to the reduction of the general expenditure during
the present depressed state of the company's affairs."
From the statement of receipts for the last half-year
ending 31st December, it appeared that the receipts
from various sources amounted to 1,582,995/. 3s. Id.,
and the expenditure to 1,551,t29/., leaving a balance in
the hands of the bankers of 31,4651. 17s. 4d. The re-
ceipts upon the Stourbridge Extension Canal from 30th
June to 31st December, 1849, amounted to 1,8131. 59. 3d.,
and the expenditure to 1,0381. 6s. 6d.. leaving a balance,
being profits for the half-year, of 7741. 18s. Bd. Upon
the Stratford and Moreton Railway, the income was
1,7511. 18s. 4d., and the expenditure 1,7421. 10s. 3d.,
leaving a balance, being profits, of 9/. Bs. Id.

The-report was received.
Mr. METCALFE proposed a resolution to the effeet that
the line should be given up to the Great Western Com-
pany for completion, but withdrew it after a short discus-
sion until a later period of the proceedings.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE next moved a resolution re-
quiring the immediate resignation of all the directors.
A long and irregular discussion took place, which
ended in Mr. Sergeant Gaselee's motion being lost, and
the following amendment proposed by Mr. Walker, a
member of the Leeds committee, being carried:—
" That four of the directors (to be named by the com-
mittee of selection hereafter referred to) shall retire
from the board, and their places be supplied by such
persons as shall Le nominated by the committee; the
same committee shall also nominate two auditors. The
committee of selection ❑ow appointed shall report to an
adjournment of this meeting, to be held on the 22d of
March, when the new directors and auditors shall be ap-
pointed."
The following gentlemen were elected to form the com-
mittee: Messrs. Walker, Jesse'', Jones, Tamlyn,
Tucker, Thorp, and Smith.
The CHAIRMAN then put the adoption of the report,
which was unanimously carried.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE moved that the salary of the
secretary be reduced from 6001. to 3001. per annum.
Mr. PRATT BARLOW moved an amendment on this,
that the consideration of the secretary's salary be de-
ferred till the adjourned meeting.
On a show of hands the original motion was declared
carried.

THE RIGHT HON. SIDNEY HERBERT.—We regret
to hear of the indisposition of Mr. Sidney Herbert. The
Right Hon. Gentleman was so unwell during the last
week as to be precluded from the performance of Par-
liamentary or public duties.

GERMANY.

The Kolner Zeitung has two electric dispatches
from Berlin of the 21st inst., one stating that his Mi-
jesty the King of Prussia is confined to his apart-
ments in consequence of an accident he met with in
walking; and the other containing the announcement
that the Lower House of the Prussian Parliament has
voted an extraordinary supply of 18,000,000 thalers
for the War-office.

Another despatch from Berlin of the 20th inst.
states that the President of the Cabinet has commu-
nicated to the members of the two houses a royal
message, from which it appears that the prorogation
of the Prussian Parliament is to come off on the 26th
inst.

a The Minister of Trade dad declared in the Upper
Chamber that the Government look forward anxiously
to the time when it would be able to undertake a re-
vision of the tariff of the Zollverin. That revision, it
was indicated, would have the result of increasing the
present amount of protection.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The mining share market still continues firm, with
an active inquiry for leading mines, several of which
have advanced considerably during the past week,
with an insufficient supply at present quotations.
Devon Great Consols have again been done at an
advance, and shares are not to be obtained but at
higher prices.
South Basset, Condurrow, South Tolgus, South
Frances, and Stray Park are among those iu request
at advanced rates.
East Tamar is represented to have improved. Ca-
roline shaft has been cleared, and the lode found pro-
ducing 10 cwts. of rich ore, per fm., on the 4 course of ,
which they are now sinking,
The south end, in the
60, is producing 12 cwts. per fm.
Wheal Seton shares have been done. By the
agent's report, presented at the meeting, we learn
that the mine has considerably improved since the
previous account, particularly in a winze under the
80, now producing 8 tons to the fm., and in Tilley's
shaft, where the lode is yielding 6 tons per fm.
Several shares in Penzance Consols have changed
bands, and, since the meeting of the 11th, some im-
portant discoveries have been made-a lode has been
intersected with a bunch of tin, worth 501. per fm.
At Wheal Trehane meeting, a dividend of 30s. per
share was declared. The balance-sheet shows a credit
for Sept. and Oct. of 1,0181. 10s. 11d.; from which
the dividend of 3841. is to be deducted, and 3001. on
account of the new steam-whim engine-leaving a
balance of 334/. 18s. 11d. to next account. By the
agent's report' we find the mine progressing in a
highly satisfactory manner.
At the Stray-park, Camberne Vean, and Wheal
Francis Mines' account, for four months ending Dec.,
1849, a dividend of 15s. per share was made; the
balance in hand (inclusive of 4041. 7s. last account)
amounted to 1,1391. 12s. 9d.; consequently a profit of
7351. ss. 9d. has been realised during the above pe-
riod of working, and a balance of 3891. 12s. 9d. car-
ried to credit of next account. The agent's report of
the mines is satisfactory-the deeper levels being
more productive, and larger returns are fully ex-
pected. The next account will be a bi-monthly,
when a dividend of 108. will be declared for January
and February.
Wheal Friendship declared the usual bi-monthly
dividend of 1,2801. on Thursday last, being 101. per
share, payable at Messrs. John Taylor and Sons.
At Condurrow bi-monthly account, a dividend of
31. per share was declared, leaving to credit of next
account 2751. 3s. 9d. The mine is represented as
considerably improved since last account.
At Providence Mines bi-monthly meeting, a divi-
dend of 6/. per share was declared, leaving a balance
to next account, 1911. 13s. 10d.
At Tregorden bi-monthly meeting, the accounts
showed balance against mine of 3071. 15s. 11d. ; and
a call of 303. per share was made. The prospects of
the mine are very encouraging.
At East Pool account for December and January,
a balance of 871. 16s. 9d. was found against the mine,
Ivhicb, added to the balance on the last account, gives
699/. 2s. 6d. The mine is represented as progress-
ing highly satisfactorily, and likely to become divi-
dend paying before the end of the year.
At Budnick Consols amount, for four months
ending December, a balance of 208/. ss. 3d. was found
in favour of the mine, and carried to next account.
St. Ives Consols account, for November and De-
cember, shows a profit of 931 6s. 2d., which, added
to balance left from last account, gives 1581. 14s. sd,
in hand.

At the Pennant and Craigwen meeting the report
of the directors showed that the Craigwen Mine was
now in a most promising condition, and it is expected,
with efficient co-operation on the part of the share-
holders, will shortly become a dividend-paying mine.
It was recommended to dispose of or re-let the Pen-
nant Mine. It appears that had the directors been
better supported with fonds, it is highly probable a

dividend would have been paid ere this. There is a
balance of funds in hand of 1,005/. 11e. Bd.
At Esgair Llee meeting, a balance of 126/. 3s.
was found in favour of the company ; but in conse-
quence of some considerable improvements, it was
deemed necessary to make a call of 103. per share, for
erecting machinery.
At South Wales meeting, a call of ss. per share
was made. The balance in favour of the mines
amounted to 198/. 15s. Bd.

At the Eaat Wheal George meeting an estimate
was read for putting the mine into full operation,
supposing no returns were met with, for 600/.
At the Wheal Lawrence meeting there appeared a
balance against the mine of about 1301.; 77 shares
stood liable fur forfeiture, and a call of ss. per share
was made.

Shares in the following mines have changed hands
since our last :—Devon Great Consols, Wheal Seton,
Trelawny, Condurrow, Tincroft, Stray Park, Pen-
zance Consols, Pendarves, South:Frances, Trehane,
South Bisset, Heignston Down, South and East
Tamar, Mary Ann, East Gunnis Lake Junction,
West C4radon, Cook's Kitchen, West Tolgus, Wheal
Margaret, Treviskey and Barrier, East Buller, Tre-
leigh, South Tolgus, &c.

• FEAT UNDER ARMS.-Yesterday came off the
match, undertaken by a young officer of the Guards, to
walk; accoutred in every respect as a private soldier, in
heavy marching order, from London to Windsor Bsr-
racks, in seven hours. sto 1 was subsequently betted
against his doing it in six hours—the distance being 21i
miles; the weight, about 60 lbs., with grenadier cap,
knapsack, havresack, musket, &c.; and the difficulty of
walking, under such equipments, without previous train-
ing, was great. The feat was accomplished in 5} hours,
to the surprise of the natives and soldiery. Crowds
were collected at the entrance of Windsor; the cheering
was immense. The start from Hyde-park-corner was
at eight A.K. The first ten miles was walked in 2 hours
9 minutes, and the remaining elesen miles in about 2i
hours; the time of halting was 40 minutes. The rate
of walking, therefore, with such equipments, without
previous training, being about four miles an hour for 21
miles.
