other than practical in its operation. The preamble or.recital
I of the list- itself remains on IT-Cord as a most honourable, but
well-merited tribute to the bravery and the deserts of the
veteran captains in whose favour it has been prepared. But
whilst doling out a tardy measure of justice to one section
of the service, on account of their long tenure of the rank now
held by them, it is so hard on the whole body of com-
menders and lieutenants who even in rank are re-
- moved, it may be said, but by a single epaulette from
•
the fortunate objects of the " minute," to be utterly
excluded from it, that we are strongly tempted
to assume it must be within the contemplation of the Ad-
miralty, ere long, to bring forward another " Retirement
List," to include the older and the more distinguished vete-
rans under the rank of post-captains, who may proudly say,
with the Apostle of old, that in the fierce time gone by they
have been "in labours more abundant, in 'battles' more
frequent, in deaths oft . . . . in perils of waters, in
perils of the sea." If the effect of the proposed retirement
scheme were only to remove in the persons of the
older post-captains the . otherwise inseparable im-
pediment to the employment of the younger ones, who,
from connexion or interest, have already jumped over
the heads of older and better offiiers, in the shape of
commanders and first lieutenants, who have seen a great
deal of real service, and earned their experience—A.ll their
wounds, their honours—and their infirmities in the hard
fighting of the last war, or hard service upon foreign sta-
tions since, in crazy craft or with short complements of men ;
that 'Which we were disposed to' hail as a well-timed and
-generous boon to the service, would be, indeed, but an ela-
borate insult- on; some of the most meritorious ornaments of
their profession. But we cannot help thinking that this
would be a most illiberal assumption. It is evi-
dent that with sufficient plausibility we might
go beyond it, and infer that the Lords of the
Admiralty meant to justify their present limitation of the re-
tirement list on the trite axiom " that a lino must be drawn
somewhere." They might, if they were so minded, reply to
all remonstrance on the subject, " that, admitting the merits
of the petitioners or remonstrants who thought themselves
aggrieved by the exclusion now complained of, yet, if Govern-
ment did not draw the line between post-captains and com-
manders, neither could they between commanders and first
lieutenants, nor between first lieutenants and masters, whose
terms of service, good conduct, &c., were equal." Now, we
look for better things at the hands of Sir GEORGE COCK..
nuitx, from his personal knowledge and experience of
a profession which boasts no more distingushed
member than himself ; and at those of the Earl
of HADDINGTOR, than whom we do not believe
a more considerate or disinterested servant of the Crown can
be named. "Jusurtt " must make allowances, we fear, for
the time it takes to apply the screw with effect to such a
seasoned piece of official toughness and insensibility as the
Chancellor of the Exchequer; and he may be assured, fair
and ably stated as his appeal is, that if the First and Second
Lords are essential to a good and beneficial working triumvi-
rate at the Admiralty, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is
the all-indisPensable and vivifying el. ment of such a body.
We shall wait a little, therefore, to watch the course of pend
ing deliberations at Whitehall before we recur to this inte-
resting subject

The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the 15th, is des-
titute of interest. No business was done on the Bourse during
the 15th.

Several of. the Paris journals, and among the rest the
Journal del Debuts, show that during the visit of the Duke
n NT:Nouns to the south of France, his Royal Highness had
occasion to listen to other addresses than those of congratula-
tion and flattery. On the 16th the Congress of Wine-growers
held their annual meeting, and seized the opportunity of the
Duke's presence to represent to him the deplorable condition
of the Wine trade. A deputation was appointed for the pur-
pose, whnstated that the department of the Gironde, though
one of the richest in France, was overwhelmed with mortgage
debts ; that the wine trade in place of improving, was
rapidly declining; that they were reduced to the brink of
ruin, caused chiefly by the suicidal conduct of the Legis-
lature,. in prohibiting trade with foreign countries, "At
home," they said, "the returns show that the wine
interests form a melancholy contrast to the general pros-
perity. While foreign countries thus repel our productions,
because they are driven away from our own frontiers by pro-
tecting tariffs which are out of all bounds, the interior legis-
lation of our country commits the double injustice of exact-
ing enormous imposts from us, and of restricting the con-
sumption of our productions, which alone furnish us the means
of paying them. After having paid for our lands, bearing
vines, a higher impost than is exacted from other lands, 'our
produce is condemned to support exclusively, from their ori-
fin till the period of their being consumed,
.fifteen different
indirect imposts, which yield a profit of 1,006 millions to the
state, and 25 millions to the towns. The imports on our pro-
ductions vary, according to circumstances, from 120 to 136
per cent. on the value. This is an enormous amount, and
when the falling off in the trade is taken into account, the
condition of these landed proprietors must indeed be deplora-
ble. The following statements show the great decline which
has taken place in the exports of wine and brandy "The exportation of wines from the Gironde to Russia, which was
30,000 hectolitres in 1821, 29,000 hectolitres in 1827, and 28,000 hec-
tolitres in 1832, was only 19,000 hectolitres in 1842, and 16,000
in 1844.

" The exports to Sweden and Norway, which in 1840, 1841. and
1842, varied between 6,000 and 7,000 hectolitres, fell in 1e44 to 3,700
hectolitres.

" The exports to the Hans towns amounted in 1823 to 167,000 ;
1832, 165,000 ; 1833, 238,000 ; 1840, 125,0 0 ; 1841, 117,900 ; 1842,
89,000 ; 1843, 77,000 ; 1844, 73,000 hectolitres.

. .
The exports of brandy to Norway, in 1842, were 764,008 litres,
and in 1844 they fell to 85,000 litres. To England the exports in
1842 were 585,000 litres ; in 1844, 219,000 litres.
" Almost everywhere' else, as to the United States, the Brazils,
Mexico, and the Spanish American colonies, the result is similar
both in respect to wine and brandy."
His Royal Highness, in reply, lamented the present depres-
sion of the wine trade, and promised to give the subject his
most serious consideration, at the acme time informing the
deputation, of which they seemed aware, that any change
depended on the votes of the two Chambers.
The following extract from the Journal des Debats leaves
little doubt that the discussions in the Saxon Chambers
during the present session will possess deep interest for
Germany :

" We Perceive, by letters from Dresden, of the 15th instant, that
the events at Leipsic, which excited so lively an agitation through-
out Saxony; will probably be the object of grave deliberations in
the states of that country. Already the preliminary.labours of the
Chamber of Deputies show that the Government will meet with a
strong opposition there. It is a matter of notoriety that in Saxony,
as in France under the Restoration, the Chamber of Deputies sends
In a list of candidates for the President's chair, out of which the
King makes a choice. Up to the present period, through re-
spect for the majority, the King has always named a candidate
placed at the head of the list submitted to him by the Chamber of
Deputies. On thi occasion the Chamber had chosen, by a plural.ty
of votes, M. Haase, deputy for. Leipsic, and who formed one of the
deputation sent by that city to the King on the late disturbances,
which' deputation threw the whole responsibility on the Government
and the 'military authorities. The King, to manifest his great disse-
tisfactl6tiat the city of Leipsic and its Deputy, put aside M. Haase,
and named 51:Braun, who was the second on the list, President. It
so happens that this choice is a great triumph for the Opposition, as M.
Brant is one :of the most detemlned adversaries of the Government.

TROTTING MATCH.— Yesterday a trotting match
in harness came off at Mitcham-common, between Mr. Barton's
brown horse and Mr. Dean's brown mare, for 101. aside. The con-
testing distance was four miles. The race commenced at a good
pace, the mare completing the first mile in 3% minutes, with a lead
of forty yards. The next mile was accomplished in 3 minutes and
22 seconds, the mare still leading. Upon the approach to the third
mile, the mare broke out to a gallop, and, being pulled in and turned,
gave the horse an opportunity to make ground, and he took the lead,
performing the third mile in 3 minutes and 29 seconds. When within
half a mile of the goal, the mare had succeeded in coming up, and a
sharp contest ensued the remaining distance, which terminated by
the mare coming in the winner by twenty-five yards, and accom-
plishing the four miles of road in 14 minutes and 10 seconds.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH BY DROWNING OF A CLERK
IN THE ACCOUNTANT-GENERAL'S OPTlCE.—Yesterday Mr. Joseph
Payne held a long inquest at the Newcastle Coffee-house, St. Mary-
at-Hill,
_Billingsgate, touching the death of Mr. Matthew Robins,
aged forty, clerk in the Accountant-General's office, of the Court of
Chancery. It appeared that deceased resided at No. 5, Elm-grove,
Peckham; and at twelve o'clock on Friday last, left that suburb, tell-
ing his brother that he was going to his office for some money, and
intended to join his wife in the evening at a friend's in town. He did
not, however, go to his office, and at nine o'clock at night he was
found by some watennen in the river, at the foot of the Custom
House-stairs, to all appearance dead, but having his watch and money on
his person. The evidence implied that the deceased might have been
resuscitated had he been properly dealt with when found; there was,
however, no reason to conclude that he met with foul play. Under
these circumstances the jury came to the verdict, " Found drowned,
but how he came by his death there was no evidence to 'how."
DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS.—
This venerable Bishop died yesterday, at Weston-super-Mare, Somer.
setshire, at the advanced age of 85 years. His episcopal duties, on
account of his infirmities, have for some time past been performed by
the Bishop of Salisbury. His Lordship was a Doctor of Divinity, a
visitor of Wadham College. Oxford, F.R., A.S., and uncle to the Earl
of Ellenborough. He was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1812, and
translated to Bath and Wells in 1824.

TIPPERARY MODB OF PAYING RENT.—In our
publication of Saturday last an advertisement appeared for the sale
of the produce of five fields of wheat, two fields of oats, and some
hay, distrained by the receiver under the Court of Chancery for rent
due on part•of the Derry Castle estate., amounting to upwards of
2001., and which was to be sold by auction yesterday (Friday).
Bailiffs to the number of seven were placed over the property, who
visited it every day to see that all was right. On Friday morning,
however, npon going to the lands, there was not a vestige of the pro-
duce to be seen—not a single straw was left behind—the lads having
made clean work of it during the previous night, to the great dis-
appointment of the receiver, the auctioneer, and the bailiffs.—Nenagh
Guardian. _

MANLY SPORTS.—Whenever public expectation is 4
at the highest pitch amongst the sporting million, the invariable re•
mark is, " Wait till we see Bell's Life in London"

THE 57111, OR " DIE-HARDS."—The war-name of
this distinguished corps was acquired, we believe, in the bard-fought
battle of Albuera, where they are described in the Gazette to have
fallen "as they stood in their ranks, with every wound in front."
When there were only two subalterns—one of whom was severely
wounded, but declined to give up the colours to " a sergeant "—sad
about one hundred and fifty men of the whole regiment left, they
became impatient of their long and fatal stand-still fight, and,
raising a spontaneous shout, rushed into the bosom of the broad
column opposed to them. It was at this moment, when the brave
remnant of his regiment disappeared from his view, as if they had
been swallowed up by the masses by which they were surrounded,
that their wounded Colonel (Inglis) uttered the memorable exclama-
tion from which their name was taken—" Well done, my brave fel-
lows 1--you'll die hard, at any rate !" But they did not die. It is

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The market for Cotton at Liverpo..l yesterday was very
quiet. The sales were only about 3,000 bags, of which specu-
lators took 500. There was no chat ge in prices ; 200 Maran-
-ham- realised 5%d. to 6d. ; 100 Perham, 6%cl to 63/ d. ; 100
Egyptian, 7%d. ; 300 Surat, 3%d. to 31,4 d., and the rest
'American at 3%d. to eld. per lb.—Shares were good, and
there was a steady demand for Railway Stock.
There are accounts of May 6 from Hobart Town, Van
Dieman's Land, but they furnish very little information on
subjects of general interest. The colony was progressing in
its industrial resources, and the leading and most serious
matter of complaint 'among the Van Dieman's Land peo' le
seems to be the excess of the convict population, which was
become dangerous alike to the morality and tranquillity of
the island.
A considerable increase has lately taken place in the trade
between the Madeiras and this country, and some tine vessels
are about being fitted out to convey the produce of that rich
island to this country. The brig Dart, now in the London
Docks, was inspected by a party of scientific men on Satur-
day, and pronounced to be most suitable for the con-
veyance of produce, as well as most safe and easy
for invalids. The Dart is of 242 tons burthen. She
has a long midship body, with fine ends, and her
sailing qualities have not alone been considered to the ex-
clusion of others equally important, that of encountering
heavy weather—is easy of motion, and being always dry ou
deck in any weather, is conducive to the comfort of pas-
sengers, enabling them at all times to remain on her long
quarter deck. Her accommodations consist of separate state
rooms, ladies' and dining cabins (the latter 24 feet long), very
airy, combining every comfort to make a sea voyage agree-
able, and preferable in every respect to invalids to the motion,
noise, vapour, and often crowded state of steam-packeti.
The Consol market has been rather heavy this morning, at
98% % for Money, and 98% for the Account. Exchequer-
bills are also lower. India Stock is at 268, and Long -
Annuities are at 111%.
In the Foreign Stocks the most material fluctuations have
been in Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents., which have been
sold as low as 591 ; they are now 601. The Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been offered at 591 ; Colombian and
Venezuelan, at 18%; Mexican, at 32% ; and the Equador
Stock, at 5.
The Railway Share Market is rather flat to-day. The
quotations are annexed.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
James Harper, who said he was a wine-merchant, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged a ith committing an assault on
John Carter, the door-keeper at the pit entrance of the Lyceum
Theatre.

The complainant said that the prisoner and some other persons
came to the door of the theatre last night, and demanded admission
at half-price. He told them it was not yet time, and they must either
pay the thin price or wait till the time announced for second price in
the bills. They attempted to force the door, which he had closed
and bolted. At the usual time he opened the door to admit the
people who were waiting outside, and the prisoner, who was the first
to come in, turned out of his way to go up to him, and stamped on
his foot with great three.

The prisone; said that he and some other persons were waiting at the
pit entrance of the theatre, when some of them made a rush towards
the door, and so threw him (witness) against it. The door was
fastened at the top only, and by the fore* of the pressure from with-
out it was pushed partly open. He accidentally put his foot in at the
bottom.

31r. TwyFoar, said the only conclusion he could draw from the
evidence was, that the prisoner, taneying himself injured by being
kept out from the theatre, had as.aulted the constable in revenge.
He would fine him 205., or, in default, seven days' imprisonment.
The fine was immediately paid.

SPEECH of the KING of SAXONY.
The opening of the States of the fifth Constitutional
Diet took place on the 14th. After the usual religious
ceremonies, the King, accompanied by Prince John and
Prince Albert, returned into the Salle, and pronounced
the following discourse :
" Gentlemen of the States,—l have assembled you round
my throne at an earlier period than usual, in order to settle
the law on the finances before the expiration of the year,
and in order to avoid its being consented to provisionally.
The count!), will appreciate the sacrifice made by many of
you in being thus torn from your ordinary occupations.
Since the closing of the last diet, the amicable relations with
foreign states have been maintaiued and strengthened. The
treaties concluded with Belgium, Sardinia, and Portugal,
have secured fresh advantages to our commerce.
"By the conclusion of an additional clause to the treaty
of navigation with the Elbe, that navigation has obtained
further facilities. 'An amicable arrangement, based on reci-
procal confidence and est, em, has secured us from the Aus-
trian Government the restoration of the Schirgiswalde with
its dependencies. Negotiations relative to the general regu-
lation of the frontiers have been again opened with the king-
dom of Bohemia, and carried on in the same spirit. There is
every reason. to .expect a satistactory solution. The engage-
ments whieh are imposed on_us as members of the Germanic
Confederation render necessary icarie-ebanges in the law cf.
recruitment, particularly with regard to the reserve. These
changes will be submitted to your consideration.
"Although I can allude to the satisfactory state of the in-
ternal affairs of the kingdom, there are nevertheless some
afflicting events which I have to remark. An event, much
to be regretted, which wounds the dearest feelings of my
heart, has recently taken place in one of the most important
cities of. the kingdom ; and I have no doubt you will sym-
p,thise in my grief on the subject. •The agitation which has
manifested itself on several points connected with religious
affairs, and which threatens to destroy all harmony, and get
beyond the bounds of good order, merits the most serious
attention. Without taking into account the creeds of the
various recogni,ed churches, I promised, on ascending the
throne, to support, above all, those religious feelings which
the people of Saxony-have known how to maintain in such an
honourable manner. I expressed the conviction that the
states of Saxony will be guided by the same. respect for what
is the most sacred thing in the world. If my confidence in
this respect be well founded, I hope, and I rely that you will
grant me your support, in order that the principles of the
Church may not be shaken, and that the fundamental pillars
of the state, and the welfare of humanity, religion, and faith,
may not be sapped at their foundation.
" A system of rigorous t-everity in the economy of the state,
and the favourable result of the public resources, as well as
the means secured by the last Diet, have allowed the engage-
ments contracted by the public treasury to be strictly ful-
filled. This favourable result permits a proposition to be
submitted for the reduction of the taxes on manufacturing
and personal interests. The construction of lines of railroads
rendered necessary the adoption of other means to meet the
demands of the state. The prosperous state of public credit
has permitted, even befOre the completion of the -railroads
Which lead to adjoining countries, to authorise the construc-
tion of the branch lines from Schemmiz to Reiza, and from
Lobau to Zittar, which will spare the public treasury a great
sacrifice. Several important bills have been prepared by the
Committee of the two Chambers, and will be laid before you.
" Other measures, partly called for by the wishes- of the
ancient- assemblies of the States, will be also submitted for
your consideration. The Minister of State who presides
over public assemblies, will communicate to you the results
of the labours of the different branches of the Administration.
" Having replied to the provisions of the constitution with
scrupulous good faith, I have a right to demand front all
Saxons to act in the same manner. I particularly request
you, Gentlemen of the States, to second me in the firm reso-
lution to maintain in the internal condition of the state a
con,titutional and regular course, in older that the name
of Saxons may be universally respected and held in esteem,
and that constitutions like ours may be regarded as the
firmest ramparts against anarchy and disorder, and as a
guarantee of the maintenance of the bond which unites
the Prince and the people. The consolidation of this bond
can alone secure the happiness of the people. Full of confi-
dence in you, I rely that that spirit of wisdom and pa-
triotism will direct your discussions ; the country will then
regard with gratitude the labours of the Diet which is this
day opened."

Ili; Majesty and the Princes then retin d, and M. de
Konneri;s, the Minister of State, made known to the
tv4m-mbly the different measures to which the King had
alluded.

IRELAND: ACADEMIC EDUCATION.—The Cathf file
prelates have a second time declared their hostility to the
ministerial scheme of academic education. Here is the de-
claration :--" Lest our faithful flocks should be apprehensive
of any
change being wrought in our minds relative to the
recent legislative measure of academic education, we, the
undersigned ArchbiQhops and Bishops, feel it a duty we owe
to them, and to ourselves, to reiterate our solemn conviction
of its being dangerous to faith and morals. as declared in the
resolutions unanimously adopted in May last by the as.sem-
bled Bishops of Ireland :—M. Slattery, Archbishop of Cashel ;
John, Archbishop of Tuam ; Thomas ('oen, Bishop of Clon-
fert ; Patrick M'Nicholas, Bishop of Achoory ; James Keating,
Bishop of Ferns ; Patrick M'Gettigan, Bishop of Raphoe ;
Cornelius Egan, Bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe ; Edmund
Ffrench, Bishop of Kilmacduagh and Kiifenora ; William
Higgins, Bishop of Ardttgh John Cantwell, Bishop of
Meath; Michael Blake, Bishop of Dromore ; 'William Kin-

PROGRESS OF A POUND OF COTTON There
was sent off for London, lately, from Glasgow, a small piece
of muslin, about one pound weight, the history cf which is
as follows :—The cotton came from the United States to
London ; from London it went to Manchester, where it was
Manufactured into yarn; from Manchester it was sent to
Paisley, where it was woven : it was sent to Ayrshire next,
where it was tamboured; afterwards it was conveyed to
Dunbarton, where it was handsewed, and again returned to
Kis:ey, when it was sent to a distant part of the county of
Renfrew to be bleached, and was returned to Paisley ; then
sent to Glasgow, and was finished ; and from Glasgow was
sent per coach to London. It is difficult precisely to ascer•
Uhl the time taken to bring this article to market, but it
may be pretty near the truth to reckon it two years from the
time it was packed in America, till its cloth arrived at the
merchant's warehouse in London, whither it must have been
conveyed 3,000 miles by'seiti and 920 by land, and contributed
toward the support of no less than 150 people, whose services
were necessary in the carriage and manufacture of this small
quantity of cotton, and by which the value has been advanced
2,000 per cent. What is said of this piece is descriptive of
no inconsiderable part of the trade."—Scotch paper.
LATEST FROM DAVIS'S STRAITS.--Another of our
whalers has arrived. The Alexander, Reid, from Davis's Straits,
brought up in our roads on Wednesday, with a cargo of 27 fish,
which will produce about 170 tans of oil. The Alexander brings no
additional intelligence ttom that quarter.—Dundee Advertiser.
EXPORTATION OF SALT TO THE EAST INDIES.—
We are infoi med that no less than from 20,000 to 30,000 tons of salt
have been exported hence to the East Indies within the last three
months. The enterprise is expected to return a very handsome
profit.—Lieerpool Albion.

SEIZURE OF WATCHES.—We understand, with re-
spect to the seizure of watches recently made by the revenue
officers, that what was stated as being extremely probable,
viz., that the officers had the seizure of a further quantity in
view, was quite correct. Shortly after the capture of the
first-mentioned quantity, they received information which
led them to start immediately for Liverpool, where they
made a seizure of a much larger quantity, and, if we under-
stand rightly, while at that port they obtained a further
clue, which it is not improbable will lead to the ultimate
seizure of a large quantity of the same valuable description
of merchandise. We are in possession of some further par-
ticulars in the matter, which we do not feel at liberty to pub-
lish at present, as it might probably have the effect of preventing
the furtherance of the ends of justice. The officers concerned
are remarkably shrewd and intelligent, and it is not at all
likely that they will lose the probable chance afforded
them of ultimately making a seizure of those which they have
in view, and of causing them also to be confiscated to the revenue.
It is to be hoped that such will be the case; as we have before re-
marked, the success of such daring attempts to introduce so valuable
an article of merchandise into the country, without the payment of
the proper duties must be a matter of serious moment to that im-
portant branch of trade and manufacture.
%%PMTS. OF THE INDEMNITY.—CLEVERNESS OF THE
CAPTAlN.—lntelligence was received at Stockton, on Sunday, of the
wreck of the brig Indemity, Captain R. Grieves, of that
port, the property of Mr. W. W. Watson, about the middle
of July, on the Magdalen Islands, in the gulf of St.
Lawrence, 'while on her passage from Ireland to Quebec,
in ballast. At the time of the wreck there were nearly 20
persons on board. The vessel having got on the shore, the master went
to the main land, and hired some labourers to assist in getting her off;
but a storm arose on his return, threatening not only her loss, but the
loss of all hands. Under these circumstances, he sent a buoy adrift,
attached to a line; and on Its approach to the land, it was hooked up
by the inhabitants, a number of whom had assembled on the cliffs.
A ward was then fastened to the line on board the brig, and drawn to
the cliff, where it was made fast. The captain now placed a " thimble"
on the rope, with a hempen " chair ;" and the line was made
fast to the " thimble" in two places—so that the chair could be
drawn up to the cliff, and back to the vessel. With this
apparatus the seamen and labourers were made to travel,
one by one, from the wreck to the cliff. The captain re-
mained to the last ; and having no one to assist him into
the " chair," he had great clinically in taking his seat, and
securing his safety. One man *lily— a sailor, named Brown—was
lost. lie had attempted, in spite of his master's injunctions, to make
his way to land in a boat, and was drowned. The hull and materials
of the brig (which was insured) sold for a sum short of 1601.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
IRISH LINES.
GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.

DUBLIN, SAW RDAY.—This day the half-yearly general
meeting of Proprietors was held at the Company's offices,
No. 3, College-green. The meeting was large and highly
respectable. At one o'clock George Roe, Esq., was moved to
the chair.

The SECRETARY read the following report :
" At the half-yearly of the shareholders held on
the 2d of October last, your Directors were empowered to
apply for an Act of Parliament to authorise the extension
of your line to Cork and Limerick, as originally contem
plated. The application was made last session of Parlia-
ment, and the Act has been obtained. The Directors have,
therefore, the sati, faction of reporting that you are now
one Company, under one Direction, for the purpose of carry-
ing out this great undertaking, which, when completed by
the addition of the branches to which your attention will
be called in another part of this report, will form the most im-
portant and productive railway undertaking in this country.
In the same session a Compony applied for Parliamentary
power to make a railway from Waterford to Limerick. Of
this line, the part which lies between Tipperary and
Limerick runs nearly parallel- to your proposed Limerick
extension... When the plans of these two undertakings were
submitted to the Board of Trade, it appeared to that
tribunal that, as the portion between Tipperary and Lime-
rick was common to the two Companies, it would be most
expedient for the public service, that the use thereof should
be given conjointly to both, under an agreement, to be em-
bodied in each of their Acts of Parliament. This has ac-
cordingly been done. The principal conditions are :—That
this Company .is to pay to the Waterford and Limerick Com-
pany a per tentage on one-half of the cost of constructing
that portion of the railway netween the point of junction and
the city of Limerick, and also one-half the charge of keeping
it in repair; that all stations between these two points shall
be for the joint or separate accommodation of the two Com-
panies, and that the Great Southern and Western Railway
shall have a separate terminus at Limerick. These terms
your Directors consider to be advantageous to your interests.
The support which it is the interest of your Company- to give
.to branch lines connecting themselves with your main trunk,
early engaged the attention of the Directors, and at your last
half-yearly meeting you sanctioned a subscription of 100,000/.
to the Galway line, and 20,0004 to the Carlow, and Wexford
Junction. From circumstances which it is unnecessary to
state here, both these Companies failed in getting their Acts
of incorporation. It is intended, however, by the promoters
of these undertakings, to renew their applications for Bills
next session of Parliament, and from the opinion expressed
by the Board of Trade, and the reports made by the Parlia-
mentary Committees to which these lines had been referred,
there can be but little doubt that these applications will be
successful. It will be necessary, however, to renew your
approval of supporting both these ines by subscribing thereto
*the amounts above specified. It is also proposed to make a
branch railway from Killarney, to join your line at Mallow,
which 3 our Directors think will be of such advantage to this
Company that they strongly recommend you, supporting it
also, by taking shares th rein to the amount of 100,000/. In
these several undertakings it is intended that powers shall be
taken in their Acts for placing a certain number of your
Directors on their Boards, thereby securing a permanent in-
fluence in the direction of each, and an harmonious working
of the whole. In addition to the lines already stated, a com-
pany has been formed foruniting Clonmel with Cashel ; an-
other
for constructing a branch from your line, near Temple-
more, to Nenagh, the assize town of the North Riding of
Tipperary; another for making a branch from Borris-in-
Ossory to Roscrea and Parsonstown, in the King's County,
and another connecting Ennis, the capital of Clare, and
Killaloe,. the key of the Shannon intercourse, with your
line, near its terminus at Limerick; while the Waterford
and Kilkenny Railway, for which an Act was obtained last
session, secures you the tiaffic of these two important towns.
From the foregoing enumerations of additional traffic about
to be brought upon your main trunk, your Directors cannot
but congratulate you on having secured a line of railway
which, from its geographical position, must receive a very
considerable portion of that tributary traffic which railway
communication necessarily creates. The extension lines
having been consolidated with the Dublin and. Cashel divi-
sion, the Directors are taking the necessary steps to have the
calls on both placed on an equality. And as every exertion
will be made to complete the whole line with the least pos-
sible delay, the capital is likely to be required as quickly as
the Act will enable the calls to be made. The Directors have
much pleasure in stating that contracts have been entered
into for a large supply' of sleepers, iron rails, locomotive en-
gines, and carriages, on reasonable terms, and the works
along the line are in such a state, of forwardness as to war-
rant the Directors in believing that it will be opened at the
time originally contemplated. The engineers and solicitors
are now engaged in making arrangements to obtain imme-
diate possession of the land for the extension line to Cork,
so that contracts may be entered into for its construction.
The rapid progress made in the works will be found in the
subjoined report of the engineer,. and the accounts of the
receipts and expenditure of the Company, made up to the
28th of August, 1844; certified by the auditors, are annexed.
By the 17th section of the Extension Act, all the members
of the board of direction vacate their seats at the present
meeting, but are eligible to be immediately re-elected."
The SERETARY also read the report of the engineer, Sir
John M'Neil, on the state of the works.

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report.
Mr. JAMES PERRY said that there was an item of 7,0001.
in the accounts, which had been allocated to the Great
Western line from Portarlington to Galway. He denied that
the Company had the power to make investments of their
capital in other lines ; it had been admitted by the Directors
that they could not appropriate the funds of the Company to
any purposes but those for which the Company was formed.
There were also large sums of money proposed to be advanced
to the Killarney Junction Railway, and the Wexford and
Carlow Railway Companies. He (Mr. Perry) respectfully
denied that they could legally appropriate the funds of the
Company in those separate lines.
The CHAIRMAN said that the item of 7,0001. advanced to
the Galway Company would be refunded, and it required
only the presence of Mr. Kane to have the necessary deeds
and preliminaries put in order, for the purpose of having that
sum refunded to the Company.
A discussion arose as to the legality of advancing the
capital of the company in the speculations alluded to by Mr.
Perry, in which Sir David Roche, Bart., Sir John Burke,
Bart., Mr. Barrington, Mr. Ferrier, and the Chairman took
part ; after which the motion, that the report should be
received, was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN put the third resolution, which was to
the effect that the Directors should have full power and au-
thority to invest in the Irish Great Western, or Galway Com-
pany, 100,000/. ; in the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junc-
tion Railway, 100,000/. ; and in the Killarney Junction Rail-
way, 20,0004 and to carry out arrangements with the
several companies of these lines, with a view to the further-
ance and protection of the interests of the Great Southern
and Western Railway Company. The resolution was carried
unanimously.

The direc-tors of the past year were re- elected for the pre.
sent, after which

Sir JouN BURKE, Bart., was moved to the chair, and
thanks having been voted to the prior chairman, the meet-
ing adjourned.

CONTINENTAL LINES.

STOCKHOLM, SErr. 15.—Count Rosen is come from Eng-
land, by which the statements in the newspapers of an
English plan for making railways in Sweden appear to re-
ceive some confirmation.

CHARLEROI AND ERQUELINNES.—The surveys are com-
pleted, the line staked out, and the works will be commenced
in a month. A new line in the Charleroi district, to accom-
modate the collieries of Ardinoises, Maimburg, Bellevue,
Ledelinsart, &tore Madame, and the glass works of Dam-
premy and Charleroi, is projected.
MIDDLEBORO AND MAESTRICHT.—This line i 3 conceded
preliminarily to Mynheer Dirk Dronckers, who has already
provided the necessary capital. The line begins at Middle-
burg, with a branch to Flushing, and proceeds to Bergen-op-
Herbogten Bosch, or Bois Je Duc, Breda, Venloo,
Buren-mid, and Maestricht.

DIEPPE AND FECAMP.—The Presse states thet the conven-
tion relative to the concession of the Dieppe and Fecamp
R rilroads was signed on the 13th inst., by the Minister of
Public Work% and by Mr. E. Blount, of the firm of C. La-
ffiittP, Blount, and Co.; Count d'Alton Shee, Peer of France;
H. Barbet, mayor and deputy of
.Rouen; Baron Michel de
St. Albin, formerly Receiver-General ; and M. Osment,
banker, of Dieppe. The concession. is for the term of the
Rouen and Havre.

ROUEN LINE.—The traffic is one of the most respectable
this season, the increase during the last few days having
attained the enormous figure of 41,500 f. ; no doubt that with
such results these shares must rise considerably.—Railway
Chronicle.

The Huddersfield and Sheffield company propose to apply
in the ensuing Session to effect a junction with the Midland
Railways at Dar&ld, commencing at Penistone, and passing
through the richest area of coal strata via Worsborough and
Silkstone. •

BIRMINGHAM AND LEICESTER DIRECT.--At a meeting of
the Directors just held at Birmingham, Mr. Shaw, the Chair-
man, stated that 180,000 shares had been applied for, when
there were only 30,000 to be allotted. Mr. Purdon, the
acting engineer, had, after examination of the line, reported
that not only were there no difficulties of importance in the
shape of inequalites, but that the line would be one of very
easy construction.
USK AND PONTYPOOL.—On Friday a meeting was held at
Usk, Mr. E. H. Phillips in the chair, to effect the establish-
ment of a line between that place and Pontypool, when a
a letter having been read from Messrs. Johnson, Farquhar,
and Leech, the solicitors to the Newport, Abergavennv, and
Hereford line, offering to make the proposed line from Usk to
Pontypool, resolutions accepting the overture were passed.
Influential meetings were held last week at Swansea and
Llandilo, in favour of the Welsh Midland line.

The London and Birmingham have declined any con-
nexion with the proposed "London and Birmingham Exten-
sion," and intimate that they have instructed Mr. Robert
Stephenson to survey a line from Northampton to Weedon,
to connect their P..terborough branch with the proposed
London, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster line, to
which they accord co-operation.
The Brighton Company propose to extend the Brighton
and Hastings line, now in course of construction, and which
will be worked by them, under a lease agreement, from
Lewes to the pet tof Newhaven, in continuation of the line
at Keymer.
A direct line between London and Gravesend On the at-
mospheric system is projected.
The Coventry canal is to be converted into a railway to
run from the Rugby and Oxford line to Coventry and Bur-
ton-on-Trent, there to unite with the Birmingham and
Derby, and one of the projected lines to Manchester, forming
a direct route from Southampton to Manchester and the
North of England, giving the Great Western a direct outlet
north.
