NORTH WALES RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)
„Th_, e first neral meeting of this Company sin-!e re-
,i:Ling 'heir Act of incorporation, was 1' eld this da):,
41.'..„.:a4n; past twelve o'clock, at the London Tavern ; Sir
",I,llani Wynn, Chairman of the Directors, presided.
he SECRETRY having read the advertiseme t
the meeting,
e CHAIRMAN said that, according to an A.-;t of
parliament, they had convened the meeting as Share-
"elders in that Company, with the view of laying the
81ate of affairs before them, and therefore, in the first
Pace there would be shown them a statement of the money
eeived, and in the second place, the manner in whit:, it
1j cl been expended ; and he trusted that after seeing
'ese they would be satisfied that their money had b
'',',l3ended in such a way as to induce them to place c
ence in the Directors they had chosen. He was him-
', an advocate for railways, and in this case the Corn
E:.I3Y, he thought, had nothing adverse to fear from
t„ Y other Company. There might be particular obstacles
the construction of railways, but, in genera', he was
flare they were calculated to benefit the country, and r,
vanlage all classes of society. The wealth of the
e,:te Opulent, and the labour of the humble, were alike
'lvbrtuced by the formation of these lines. The markets
ere, increased, because articles were brought to them
the
in Per and more expeditiously. In the next place, the
crease of railways promoted knowledge, and it pro-
toted health by facilitating communication with distant
I,:es, and giving means of recreation which before were
ver thought of. Thus admiring railways, he was,
mightW say, an admirer of them all. Merionethshire,
t,
efhiew h bordered their line, was intended to be intersected
two lines from Worcester, one taking the sea-coast,
~
the other the inland country ; but he would refrain
d °' giving an opinion upon them until the plans were
Ki!veloPed. Then,if he were honoured by still beingin the
rlrectory of the North Wales, he should be happy to
:ate his sentiments as to the mode in which either would
tit upon the interests of that country, but he thought
et either would benefit them in a considerable degree.
Would say one word as respected Ireland. It would
observed that one of their ports, Port Dyullaen, was
tlZ°Bite Wicklow, and this would be, therefore, a much
are direct route to passengers and traffic from London
uublin. The present route was most circuitous, and
- Pro'
• Jeet like the present was, therefore, likely to yield
th,"„eVie return to its projectors. He would not trouble
with further remark •, but, before sitting down, he
line • "lut help expressing his decided opinion that this
to thw°4ld be aenefit, not only to the shareholders, but
1,, Country at large.—(Cheers.)
141:ue Secretary, Mr. MARRINER, then read the report
Views :
the'4,e Directors have taken the earliest opportunity of calling
l laareholders together to congratulate them upon the pass-
thOr the Act incorporating this Company, which Act received
1:)Yal assent on the 21st July last, and have much pleasure
tad Yu:lg before them a short statement of its present position
',Prospects.
fpo:2le district of country which this line is to traverse, is that
kp tTieHangor, in the county of Carnarvon, to Port Dynllaen,
thesame county ; the latter place is a sea-port, situate on
lai;4,alt of Wales, immediately opposite the port of Wicklow,
tii;e`and ; it posseses great natural advantages, and the cape-
A* of being made a most commodious and safe harbour.
tiki project having been formed in the month of August last to
ter 4Pet Port Dynllaen, by means of a railway, with the Ches.
t,,,4•114 Holyhead line, and thereby with the manufacturing
Wai;qa le the north of Englani, and the mineral districts of
Ithrs, the Directors consented to become, in conjunction with
al highly respectable landowners connected with the loca-
rie,4*.the promoters of the line, feeling convinced that, if car-
litatilito effect, it would be productive of great benefit to that
kr the country, and yield an ample return for the capital
tred for its construction.
from.: the time this Company was projected, ether parties had
ted a line of railway from Bangor to Carnarvon, and had
i!to„,,ed coniiderable outlay in surveys and other matters, and
'der to prevent the serious costs which competing in Par-
,ho:e" with an opposing Company would have entailed, an ar..
lie°,inetit was entered into with those parties to give up their
ta,m the promoters of this Company, which was eventually
Dad into effect.
konsUring the progress of the Bill through the House of Com-
Ntetthe Company had to contend with the opposition of two
tad nl/43 landowners, one of whom petitioned against the Bill,
Iget,iPPwsed it before a Committee of the House, but subse-
tlN arrangements were made to the satisfaction of both par-
Ilk or 10 the House of Lords an attempt was made to impede
tla t:gress of the Bill, which, however, proved unsuccessful,
IV Act was obtained without further opposition.
riot of thus given a short statement of the origin and pro-
stmeaea'biteh e un. derta_king, the Directors feel much gratified in
to inform the Shareholders
.that they see no impedi-
Nss: the way of their proceeding with the preliminary steps
l'tridirY, to be taken for the construction of the works, and
ktido2gly intend to make immediate arrangements with the
'mers on the line, for the purpose of securing early pos-
'xi),)4 of such land as may be required, and they confidently
eirtieatr that one portion of it, namely, that from Bangor to
The"o, will be finished in the course of next summer.
Balance sheet attached to this report, which shows the
Prq7l).enditure up to the present time, is submitted for the
l'tion of the Shareholders, and the Directors remark
,Titliil:'easure, that the whole of the preliminaay cost in este-
t,„• gthe Company and obtaining the Act of incorporation,
\i• 'it" amount to 7,5001.

comply with the Act, it is not proposed to fill up the vacancy.
The three Directors retiring from office by rotation are, Mr.
Bagshaw, Mr. Kennard, and Mr. John Masterrnan, jun., and
the Board recommend these gentlemen for re- vlection.

According to the statement of account far the half-
year ending 30th June, 1845, appended to the report,
the receipts, including a balance of 8,9941. 14s. 5d., b rough t
over from the previous half-year, were 37,372/. 10, 5d.,
and the disbursements 22,001/. 9s. 7el. ; leaving a ba-
lance in hand of 15,371/. Os. 10d. Of the =tiara ex -
pended, 15,4531. 10s. 2(1. had been expended on the
Newport Extension;. the remainder on general expenses,
excepting a debenture rrietid of 3,0901.
The general statement of receipts mil expenditu.-e
from the beginning till the 30th of June shows the for-
mer to be 1,137,8701., and the latter 1,122,498/. 19s. 2d.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to address the meeting. He
said he was sorry that the number of Shareholders pre-
sent was not greater, as he had something agreeable to
say to there in addition to what was contained in the
report. It would be recollected that some time since the
Eastern Counties Railway Company capitalised their
debt or 710.000/., by creating new shares at par. In
consequence of this a question had arisen whether a cur-
respanding right was not vested in the present
Company. The matter was brought by the Direc-
tors of the F.esent Company under the con-
sideration of the Eastern Counties Board, where
every attention was paid to it. After some discussion it
was mutually agreed, in order to remove every legal
doubt that might exist as tee the respective rights of the
Companies to capitalise their debts, to draw up a case
involving the point under consideration, to be sub•
mitted to a competent legal authority. Sir William
Follett Was fixed upon, but, unfortunately, before
the case could he submitted, that gentle-man died.
Mr. Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Roundall Palmer
were next selected, and the case which was to have been
submitted to Sir William Follett, was placed before them.
The opinion of these t.vo gentlemen, he was happy to
say, was entirely in their favour. It was hardly desira-
ble that the whole case submitted should be read,though,
should it be required, the seen tary would do so. The
last paragraph, however, contained the whole that was
material. The Chairman then read the concluding por-
tion of the case,- the whole of which he stated had been
submitted to both Companies, and by them agreed to.
It contained two questions, and was to the following
effect-Ist, Whether the Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany had the power to capitalise its borrowed money
without the consent of the Northern and Eastern Rail-
way Company; and 2d, Whether the Northern and East•
ern Compay had a similar power without the consent of
the Eastern Counties Company. Both questions were
answ( reel in the affirmative. The consequence of this
was, that this Company has a right to capitalise its debt,
the same as the Eastern Counties Company had done.
In the course of the business a resolution would be pro-
posed to this effect. The mode in which it was pro-
posed to be done was, as the debt was about equal to
one-third of the paid-up capital, to issue shares
at par in , the proportion of one new share
to each present share, such new shares to be
guaranteed 5 per cent. on the capital paid up on these
new shares, and afterwards to participate in any di-
visable fund over and above the payment of the Five per
Cent. dividends. Thus, those who held 3,000/. just now,
would have their shares increase d to 4,000/. At present,
should this course be agreed to, only a small deposit
would be required as an acknowledgment on each new
share.

A SHAREHOLDER inquired in what proportion the
deposits on the new shares would be required to he
paid up ?
The CHAIRMAN said that the payments would be re-
quired in proportion as the several items became due.
During the last half year, as would be seen by the ba-
lance, 3,0001. debentures had been paid off. The
sums owing were payable at the following dates :-
80,5001., the 15th of January, 1847 ; 50,0001. in Sep.
tember of the same year ; 56,8001., 15th January, IM9 ;
49,700/, January 15th, 1852 ; in addition to 67,800/. for
the Newport Extension, due the 30th September, 1848 ;
making the total of 304,8001. due. The money would
have to be raised in proportional sums to redeem these
obligations.
Resolutions were then proposed and carried that the
report be received and adopted, and that a dividend in
agreement with its recommendation be declared.
Afterwards a resolution, embodying the plan for the
capitalization of the debt of the Company in the manner
named by the Chairman, was submitted to the meeting
and agreed to.
Tne three retiring Directors were then re-elected.
Mr. TOZER asked whether the dividend of 51. per cent.
declared would be paid on the 27,7451. received from
shares duriflg the past half-year ?
The CHAIRMAN replied most certainly.
A. vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman and
the Board of Directors, and the meeting separated.

ORANGE DEMONSTRATION IN
ENNISKILLEN.
(Fr:An the Chronicle.)

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY. AUG. 13.

SIX o'CLocK, A.m.—The long-promised Orange de-
monstratiol took place at Enniskillen yesterday. On
this trying occasion the Orangsmen wet e totally aban-
doned by their former leaders, the magistrates and gen-
try. Even in point of numbers, the ►netting fell very far
short cf the anticipatory boastings of the Orange Jour •
nals in Dublin. There were, however, about ten thou-
sand persons assembled, mostly farmers and the labour-
ing classes, with a small sprinkling of the second class
of gentry. At this meeting the Orangemen made a de-
claration of unalterable hostility against the Peel Go-
vernment, and refused to co-operate with the repealers.
I send the following abridged report of the proceedings
from a more lengthened account which reached the
Freeman's Au? nal this worning by an express, and I
am indebted to the proprietor of that journal for an curly
copy :

ENNISKILLEN, TUESDAY EVENING.
Before proceeding to record the demonstration of to-
day, we will advert to the proceedings that took place
here last evening. About nine o'clock last night the
preliminaries may be said to have commenced.
A peal of bells gave note of preparation from the
church tower, and immediately afterwards some few in•
distinct figures might be noticed through the darkness
making efforts to hoist an Orange flag on the topmo,t
pinnacle. This proceeding, as might be expectsd, at-
tracted a large number of that class usually denominated
" street idlers," who occasionally gave vent to their
"No Popery" and " No Peel-ite ' sentiments, with a
plentiful admixture of William-ite epithets. This " de-
monstration" was confined solely to the vicinity of the
church—through the town all was quietness and inac-
tion- there appeared none of those indications which
usually mark the approach of such a popular display as
the present was expected to be. The people seemed to
be more engrossed with their ordinary busines than with
the 12th of August or its associations.

A band paraded the Main-street, feeding the ears of
an attendant crowd of idlers with the " Boyne Water,"
The Protestant Boys," and other tunes of a like party
and sectarian import. The affair as yet suggested more
of the ludicrous than of the grand. In front of the band
was carried a lighted torch ; the flame was created by a
compound of antimony, lint, and other ingredients, and
this occasionally lighting up their preliminary " walk,"
made the entit e business look rather blue.

After this pArading party had pursued their diversion
for a couple of hours, they dispersed to their homes.
The town became as still as on ordinary occasions, and
ail was quiet in Enniskillen for the remainder of the
night. Up to ten o'clock this morning the town pre-
ser_ted but few indications of the approaching demon-
stration. The day was ushered in by the ringing of
joy bells, but there were few manifestations of party
feeling until a very advanced period of the morning. On
the bridge, at the entrance of the town from the county
Cavan side, a triumphal arch was erected. This arch
was composed of Orange stuff, with a border of deep,
blue. An equestrian statue of King William was sus-
pended from the centre of it, and it was surmounted by
a large gilt cross. A passer-by gravely informed your
reporter that the cross was placed there to prove that
they were " a Christian- like people " in Enniskillen.
Orange flags were placed at t ach side of the arch. An
Orange flag floated from the top of the Market-house,
bearing on one side the inscription, "Remember 1690,"
and on the reverse side, " No Repeal, no Surrender."
Flags were also displayed from the steeple of the church
of Enniskillen. A second arch, similar to that already
described, was placed on the bridge at the other side of
the town. A small equestrian statue of King William
was su-pended from the centre of the arch, and under-
neath were inscribed, " Enniskillen," " Derry," Augh-
rim," and " The Boyne." Orange lilies were exhibited
in the windows of about a dozen houses—principally
those of the humbler order. This completes the de-
scription Of the decoration of the town.
All preliminaries adjusted, the procession left the fair
green in the order of their districts.
They marched through the main streets to Portora-
gate at the west side of the town, where they turned and
retraced their steps. Without speaking in any manner
to depreciate the importance that may be attached to
the dewonstation by those favourable to the principle
commemorated, we must in candour say, that, as a popu-
lar display, the proceeding was cold and spiritless.
There was no cheering—no outward exhibition of enthu-
siasm, nor, in their passage through town, were they
greeted by the occupants of the several windows with
any cheering or encouraging signs or expressions.
There were about 140 banners in the procession, each
banner heading a lodge. A liberal estimate might allow
thirty persons marching in each lodge, and the number
would still be under five thousand. If we add a like
number for the crowd, who did not take any part in the
procession, the whole multitude assembled will still be
greatly within ten thousand._____

THE MEETING
was held in a large meadow, belonging to Mr. Paul
Deane, situate about a mile from the town, at the Dublin
side, on the crown of an elevated hill overlooking Lough
Erne, and in full view of tho magnificent mountain
scenery around.
Among those present at the meeting were the fol-
lowing :—John Crilloghly, Esq.; Henry Grey Archdall,
Esq. ; Michael Burke, Esq., Trory Glebe ; William
Dane, RA ; Samuel Yeates Johnston, Esq.; James

in their bands, tied round with orange and blue ribbons.
The chair was taken by Lord George Loftus, who

ektifi 41,05 t valuab'e, and they ought to be particularly

preside over them, was a native of Wales.—

rtt,•re country was beginning to attract the attention

4d w ugh a short one was of a most valuable character,

t-I,"sttlh" of England with that sister country. He
)74e the Directors merited the fullest confidence from
hNs4reholderi; for the masterly manner in which they
/i4lll4„rirtql their Bill through Parliament, and, in one
,stea-,:kr instance, he was sure they in the highest de-
,lettip,—„ted with the utmost foresight, namely, in not
`qor',-","ig with an opposing line. He should, therefore,
ett,t:lat this report be received and adopted.

CRICKET.—The match between Sussex and Mary-
lebone (with Pilch), which has excited so much interest in
consequence of the extraordinary number of runs obtained by
Sussex at the commencement of the game, was resumed yester-
day morning at Box's grounds. Brighton, in the presence of
about 2,000 spectators. Marylebone, it will be remembered,
had been put in on the runs, Sussex having scored 265,
and Marylebone only 138- They continued playing till five
o'clock, when Marylebone had obtained 212 runs, making
their total score 350, being 85 in advance of the first innings
of Sussex. Against this number Sussex went in, and Sopp
and the two Nappers played together for about an hour and a
half, when they lost their wickets with 54 runs. Hammond
was shortly afterwards caught by Royston four wickets down,
with 55 runs. The game was now becoming
.interesting, but
the stumps were struck at seven o'clock, leaving the game to
be finished to-morrow (this day), Sussex having obtained 59
out of the 85 runs
ALARMING FIRE IN OXFORD-STREET.—Last night,
b3tween the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire of rather
an alarming character broke out upon the premises belong-
ing to Mr. James Nunn, hosier and silk-mercer, situate at
No. 217, Oxford-street, near Portman-street. It originated in
the front shop, a spacious compartmeat filled with costly
articles; and, owing to the combustible nature of the stock,
the flames very speedily obtained a firm hold, they hav-
ing in less than five minutes communicated to each side of the
shop. The origin of the fire is not precisely known. The
building and its contents are insured in the Phmnix Fire-offi e.
IVe understand that the office of medical examiner
to the East India Company is likely to be vacated by Dr.
Hume, who is appointed a Commissioner in Lunacy. It is
thought that the Court of Directors may be disposed to ap-
point to this important office a member of their own service,
and while such men as Martin and Anneley, are to be found,
no difficulty appears to exist.— Times. •
M. d, 13runnow, the Russian Ambassador, has
recently snide some efforts to obtain a reduction of the duty on
Russian tallow ; but Sir Robert Peel has intimated that it is
not his intention to make any change.—Morntng Chronicle.
