BLACKWALL RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the Proprietors of this Com-
pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street, for the purpose of empowering the Directors to raise the
sum of 66,0001.

The Or/111MA N of the Board of Directors presided, and the
advertisement calling the meeting, having been read, the Chair-
man submitted a resolution to the meeting, empowering the
Directors to raise the sum of 66,0001. by loan or mortgage.
Mr. LEVY said he thought that the fares by the Blackwell
I Railway were much too low. He did not mean to submit any
motion on the subject, but he thought if they were to lay on a
penny more on each person, it would form a great revenue, and
it would not be felt by the public, as it would be no more than
they ought to pay
.for their accommodation. He was sure the
gentlemen comprising the Directors, were men of business, and
would take the subject into their serious consideration, as from
the present rate of fares the Company was deriving no benefft.
tie CHAIRMAN hoped he need not tell Mr. Levy that the
subject had engaged the deep attention of the Directors. The
subject was one that could not be entertained then, or he would
have been most happy to have stated the reasons why they
could not recommend an increae in the rate of fares. An op-
portunity- would, however, occur at the meeting in August, and
he should then be happy to go into the subject fully, which
would not be at the present time prudent.
i%lr. Sergeant GAZELEE said, that although he could not soy
that he was surprised, yet ho was disappointed that the Direc-
tors had brought forward that proposition. They would pro-
bably remember that when they went to Parliament he stated
his tears that they would be called upon to vote a greater sum
of money. He was then honoured by the Chairman, who said
there Was no pleasing the Hon. Pi oprietors, saying at the same
time that if they did not go to Parliament then for the purpose
of raising money they would have to go at a future time. He
(Mr. Sergeant Gazelee) did not follow the argument, but it
made very little impression upon him at the time, and it now
turned out that he was a true prophet, as the Directors now
came forward for the power of raising more money. He was
not inclined to give elem that power. He did not know what
his brother Proprietors felt, but he was not at all satisfied with
the management of the affair. He had a few questions upon j
this subject which he wished answered. He wished also to
know the cost of the erections in Crutehed Friars. He wished
to know if the surplus profit arising from the Brunswick Pier
and property in the Alinories amounted to 90,0001. Then he
would ask what was the surplus profit between Fenchurch-street
and the Minories, and when it would be sold ? He wished also
to know whether there was a rental from the arches of 8,000/
a year. In granting the large sum of money proposed to be
raised by that meeting, he wished to know how fer-
nier monies had been expended. He wished to know if
any proceedings had been taken against the contractors foe
their delay, lie observed at the last meeting it was stated
that considerable delay had taken place on the part of the
contractors, hut that there was no penalty, and therefore the
Company could recover heavy damages for not having a pena;ty
made a provision in the contract. It was then stated that they
were nearly ready to carry goods ; but he had watched the re•
turns week after week, and he found that they only commenced
taking goods last week. Now he wished to ask those Directors
whether they had taken any steps against the contractors, and
whether those heavy damages were recovered, or were in pro-
gress of recovery ? Then he would ask if there was any profit
which did not appear upon the tables ? He should like also to
know, what was the return of the amount to the Brunswick
-wharf? He heard a great deal about the West India and East
India Docks. Now he thought that the Proprietors had no-
thing to do with the East and West India Docks. They might
benefit, but it was ruinous to the Shareholders in the Railway.
Then he would wish to know what had been received and paid
in the shape of dues, rent, &c., on the Blackwell Railway; so
as to see whether the rent exceeded what had been received.
Then he would wish to know whether any preference was
given to those boats which landed at the Blackwell Pier over
those that did not? He had no time to inform himself upon
this subject ; all his information upon it being derived from
the Railway Magazine. He would also like to know whether
the Watermen's boats landed at the Company's pier, because
the Railway's boats, belonging to the Railway Proprietors, that
was no reason why a preference should be given them.
There was a complaint he wished to make, and that
was, that there was no facility for luggage; that people
who went to Herne Bay found it. very inconvenient, and, there-
fore, they went to stations were they were more attended to.
He would also wish to know how often the rope broke. He
saw, by the Times of the 2.5 th of June, that the rope broke
daily. lie would wish to know if such was the fact ? The
Chairman told him that their capital was 800,0001. He (Mr.
Sergeant Gazelee) wished to know whet sum had been bor-
rowed on temporary loans? There was another to which he
strongly objected, and that was introducing a clause into:the
Railway Bill, giving an advantage to the steam-boats of the
Company. He thanked the meeting for having so patiently
listened to him. lie had considered it his duty to put those
questions to the Chairman for the general information of the
Shareholders.

A SHARF.OoLnEit thought it would be as well before the
question were answered to lead the Act of Parliament.
The SECRETARY then read the Act of Parliament.
The CHAIRNIAN said he would endeavour to answer the
questions. in the first place the Hon. Gentleman could not
call himself a true prophet with respect to borrowing the money,
as he (the Chairman) stated at the time, that such money
would actually have to be borrowed. With respect to the pro:
pert v between Blackwall and the Minories, ➢lr. Tite had
valued it at about 68,900/. The first question
referred to the arches. He was not aware that the arches
were expects d to realise 8,000!. a-year. It was originally con-
templated that houses would be built upon them, and this
valuation of 8,0001. a-year was expected to be realised by those
houses. With regard to proceedings being taken against
the contractors, there was certainly a delay which the Direc-
tors regretted quite as much as any of the Proprietors could
do, before the proceedings were taker). The arrangements
were now completed, both for goods, traffic, and travelling.
The next question was the cost of the erections at Crutched
Friars and the Alinorics. He thought the cost was about
t 4,0001. It was perfectly true that the door was not wide
enough, but it had since been made wider at a cost of about
;201. With respect to time Brunswick wharfage, they had en-
tered in loan arrangement by which they took one-third of the
dues, but the following year they contracted for the whole
amount of dues for 1,430/. per annum, and now they were
receiving the who!c of the wharfage. He was not able to tell
what that amount was, but he could say that in one day they
hail received 130/.—(Cheers. )
1111.. CRAWsIIAY said he did not think these were questions
that ought to be answered publicly. If they received 1301. in
one slay, and they only paid 1,4301 a-year for it the Proprietors
of the wharf would next year double the rent.
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE said he did not wish any question
answered that was likely to injure the interest of the Proprie-
tors.

The CHAIRMAN said the next question related to the pre-
ference given to their own boats. They certainly should
always give a preference to those boats which made the Bruns-
wick Wharf their pier.—( Cheers. ) Reference had been
made to the watermen's boats. There were parties who were
endeavouring to take the traffic from them entirely. They
were carrying passengers to London for fd., therefore it was
their duty to interrupt them. With this view they imposed a
wharfage of a higher amount, and if that would not do they
would try something else.—( Cheers. ) He knew that some
inconvenience had arisen owing to the want of accommodation
for luggage ; but they must recollect that little luggage came
by the railway from Herne Bay, and they would not be justified
in establishing accommodation- for luggage which would only
come occasionally. The next question was with respect to the
rope. In the month of June the rope had only broken once
on the 2d and once on the 14th, arid there were only three
stoppages out of :3,500 passengers.
Mr:LEvy—l think you have given them rope enough, Sir.
I would say no more upon it.—( Laughter. )
The CRAIRMAN—The parties were only detained a quarter
of an hour, even if the rope broke, and then they performed the
journey, with that stoppage, much quicker than by any other
conveyance. With respect to the introduction of the clausa
respecting the steam-boats ; in consequence of what took
place at the Southampton railway, they had an interview
with tae Board of Trade and Lord Shaftesbury, and atter loot-
ing at the original Act of Parliament, they were of opinion
that it was perfectly legitimate that they should have the power
of hiring steam-boats. But two gentlemen, Proprietors in
the railway, but who were interested in the steam-boats to
Gravesenti, sent in a petition against it. The Directors did
not think that, strider the circumstances, they
were justified in
contesting the clause without the consent of the Proprietors.
Ile trusted that the Proprietors would see that the Directors
had done all in their power to advance the interests of the
C6lllpan
Sergeant GAZELLE said there was another question,
with respect to borrowing monet.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Directors had borrowed, on
their own personal security, the sum of 25,0001.
A Paortur:roit wished to know to whyt purpose the turplu
property would be applied.
The .CllAlli MAN said that the money they intended to bor-

row was for three, four, and five years, and that it was the in.
tention of the Directors to pay off the mortgage money, as the
Loads became due.

Mr. CRAWSIIA Y wished to know if the Directors felt confi-
dent that there would be a surplus.
The CHAIRMAN said he had every reason to believe so, from
the valuation of Mr. Tite.

Mr. CILAWSHAV—What will be the capital of the Company,
after payment of all the debts ?
The CHAIRMAN said it would be from 1,020,0001. to
1,025,0001.
The resolution was about to be put, when

' Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE said he did not vxish to put the
Directors to inconvenience, but he thought it would be best to
postpone the granting of this power until the meeting in
August.
The CHAIRMAN said the money was due,' and ought to be
paid at once. There was at the present moment a facility in
the money market for borrowing which might not occur in
August.
Mr. Blecs said that if they intended to purchase steam-
boats K ith part of the money, he could assure the Directors
that it would not meet with the general assent of the Proprie-
tors, and he for one should most eecitledly oppose it.
Mr. SALOMON% said he thought it would be wrong, on the
part of the Directors, not to put this question fully before the
meeting. Ile asked the Proprietors, in the first place, to put
confidence in the Direction. He was quite sure there never
was established in the city of London a more honourable and
hard-working Board of Directors. He being a large Share-
holder in th concern, was asked to join the Direction, and
when he did so, he found they had an up-hill journey to per-
form. The money market was then in a most appalang state,
and the Direction collected together, and they each furnished
the means of carrying forward the concern, until the time
should come when they would be enabled to reimburse them-
selves, and see the undertaking the most majestic work in
the country, and he hoped and trusted that it would be equally
profitable. They all knew the force of vested interest in this
country. It an omnibus were started, the other omnibus
proprietors put the omnibus before and behind the stranger, to
drive him off the road, and establish a monopoly even in the
public streets of London. So with the Blackwall Railway.
Notwithstanding the great improvement that it was, they were
opposed by the steam-boats plying to London-bridge. What
was the consequence? Not one steam-boat to Gravesend ever
touched at their pier. The I)irecters then, on their own in-
dividual responsibility, built several boats, and they soon found
that one of their boats did as much as three of their opponents.
If they had not taken the trade vi et annis, they would not
have had an atom of it ; and yet, for all this, the Hon. Pro-
prietor said he would oppose it when the subject was brought
forward. He (Mr. Salomons) was very much obliged for the
attention with which he had been listened to. All he asked
was, that they would place confidence in the Directors, and he
doubted not but they would make this a successful concern, as
a more hard-working, or honourable set of men, could not be
found.

The CHAIRMA N said he would lay a statement of the traffic
by the steam-brats before the meeting. In March, 1841, they
had not one running there. In June, 1841, they took 40,0(X)
passengers ; in July, 50,000 ; in August, 72,000. In March
this year they took 24,000 passengers, having taken none the
same period the year before. In April, 29,000 against 10,000
the year before ; in May, 57,000 against 26,000 the same time
the year before ; in June of the year before 40,000; the re-
turns of this year had not been made, but he believed
he might say that the number exceeded 70,000.—(Cheers. )
The great profit arising from this, the Directors intended
to keep in an accumulating fund, in order to prevent any
future necessity of coming before the Proprietors for more
money ; but in case they should have to come before the Pro-
prietors, he had full confidence and hope that the Proprietors
would second the endeavours of the Directors.—( Hear.)
The resolution was then put. and carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the
meeting separated.

LAW INTELLIUENCE.
HOUSE OF LORDS. June 28.

Their Lordships sat to-day at, ten o'clock in a Committee
of Privileges. The Peers present were, the Lord Chancellor,
the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Eldon, Lord Kenyon, the
Earl of Enniskillen, the Earl of Egmont, the Marquis Cam-
den, the Earl of Redesdale, Lord Sondes, and Lord Skel-
mersdale.

THE EARL OF EGMONT'S CLAIM.

Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined on behalf of
the Earl of Egmont, who claimed to vote at the election of
hepresentative Peers for Ireland.
Their Lordships, at the conclusion of the evidence, re-
solved that the Noble Earl had made out his claim. —Claim
allowed.

THE EARL. OF SHANNON'S CLAIM.

Their Lordships came to a similar resolution with respect to
the claim of the Earl of Shannon, after hearing Counsel and
witnesses.

BARONY OF FITZWALTER.

This case came before their Lordships upon the claim of Sir
Brooke William Brydges to the barony of Fitzwalter, which
was created in the reign of Edward the First, in the year 1295.
The first Baron was the grandson and heir of Robert Fitzwal-
ter, who was called the Marshal of the Army of God and
Holy Mother Church, was chief of the confederated Ba-
tons who obtained Magna Charta from King John, and
was one of the twenty.five Barons appointed to enforce
its observance. In 1756 the barony fell into abeyance,
and daring the late reign, Sir Brooke William Bridges,
Bart., presented his petition, claiming the barony, as only co-
heir to Jemima Duke.
Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined, up to two
o clock, at which hour, the further consideration of the claim was
adjourned.

ROLLS' COURT, Jane 28.
The Court was engaged throughout the day with consent
petitions and short causes, which were set down.in the paper to
be spoken to. They were devoid of interest.

VICE-CHANCELLOPS COURT, .Irene 28.

cial Committee of the Privy Council.
( Before Vice-Chancellor Wia Ram. )
His Holcoun gave judgment this morning in the cause of
Bourne v. Bourne, which was wholly devoid of general in-
terest. he cases %Nhich came before the Court were all of a
merely technical character.

THE F.C.
_TOURNA3IENT—ATKINSON V. oucdAtr.

The parties in this case are both well known makers Oinar-
queess, tents, &c., which it is part of their business to let out on
hire for fetes champetres, fancy fairs, and other open-air enter-
tainments. In August, 1839, the defendants having
undertaken to supply the required camp equipage
to Mr. Pratt, who had the entire management of the arrange-
ments in that respect for the celebrated tournament at Eglin-
ton, which was to take place in that. month, hired for three
weeks, at the rate of 10/. per week, a very large marquee from
the plaintiff. In consequence of the unfavourable weather
which prevailed during the time of the, fete, and the consequent
expediency which was found to arise of using the marquee some-
what differently from the purpose to which it was designed, and
making it a cover for a temporary erection, the canvass was
cut, the poles broken, and other damage done, which caused
the defendant to keep it in his possession, for the purpose of re-
pairs, a fortnight longer than the time at first agreed on. De-
fendant paid 301. for the hire, insisting that the marquee was
hired for the job, and not by the week, although three weeks
was mentioned as the probable time the marquee would be de-
tained.

The action was brought to recover 201. for the extra two
weeks, and 371. for the damage done by the improper use of the
tent, and the loss of some of the ornaments.
The defendants paid 5/. into Court for the alleged damage.
The evidence on both sides was that of persons in the em-
ployment of the parties, the servants of the plaintiff declaring
wrongly that the damage was moderately assessed in the decla
ration, and those of the defendant, on the contrary, affirming
that the usage of the trade was against the defendant's claim
for the additional hire, and that the damage done was no mere
than fair wear and tear, such as all articles of the kind were
liable to, and for which it was not customary to make any charge.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 25/.

COURT OF COMMOA PLEAS, June 28.
The Conrt disposed of a number of undefended actions
which had no public interest.

LARKIN V. AXFORD AND OTHERS.

This was an action against iliedefe;danis,;l; are eminent
ship-owners, to recover compensation in damages for the injury
sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of a barge under his
charge being run down and sunk by a schooner belonging to them.
The defendants did not dispute their liability, and paid 30/.
into Court. The plaintiff asked for 100/., 01 which 201. were
for the charges of the " under watermen," as they are
termed, who weighed or lifted the sunken barge, which having
been run down on Sunday was not found until Wednesday,
hawing been carried away, by the tide, Other items were for
plaintiff's loss of time, wages of his mate, and two other bargemen
who were engaged four days in finding the barge, one in rais-
jog her, and one other day in taking her to the owner, from
u horn she had been hired by plaintiff. There was a further
charge for the loss of the cargo, and the cost of the repairs,
which made up the amount laid in the declaration. The wit-
nesses for the plaintiff swore to the justice of all the claims, and
the reasonableness of the charges.
The ease for the defence was, that 30/. was amply sufficient
compensation.

Several witnesses, who were accustomed to employment on
the river, gave evidence to the effect that in their judgment
In!. was sufficient to defray the cost of finding and raising the
barge, and that 1201. was more than enough to cover all the rest
of the damage.
The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages 51. above the 30/.
paid into Court.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COUR7: June 28.
IN RE ELIZA BURGESS.
The insolvent in this ease »•as described as having been a
sAloohnistress in Uxbridge, and subsequently the conapanion
to a lady, whose name appeared in the schedule, but was not
allowed to transpire by the Learned Chief Commissioner.
No opposition was entered against her petition, and after a
few unimportant questions from the Court, she was uttered to
be discharged forthwith.

POLICE IN TELLItIENCE.
1301 V-STREET.
There was no ease of the slightest interest at this Court
yesterday.

CLERK Nll

1171liam Thomas Benderson was charged with stealing a
quantity of silver plate, the property of Mr, Brooks, a solicitor,
resisting in John-street, Bedford-row.
From the evidence of the cook it appeared that between four
and five o'clock on Monday evening she was coming out of the
area when she saw the prisoner in the pantry with a silver
coffee pot under his arm, and several dessert spoons in his hand.
She rushed over and shut:the door, hut he burst out, and she
then seiied him by the coat, but the garment being of frail
texture, lie left it, Joseph like, in the hands of the raptor. lle
then ran down the street, but was soon overtaken by a police-
man and taken into custody.7-The prisoner was committed for
trial.

CAUTION TO VISITORS FROM THE COUNTRY.--Williaill
Mil's, an aged countryman, applied for the ',Magistrates' advice
r,•!ative to his having been plurdered of 16/. on the precedir.l4
day. The applicant said that he came up out of the t °nutty
the day before, and having received the cash for a 161.. cheque at
a banker's, in Lombard-street, he was proceeding to the " Nag's
Head," when he was accosted by a man who asked him the
way to London-bridge. They entered into conversation, and
the result was they went together to a public-house, where
they were soon joined by another man, who pretended
to be a stranger, and who said that he had just
arrived from America, He talked about the panic
caused by the light sovereigns; said that he had some
American scoiereigns in his pocket, and asked applicant
if he could let him see a sovereign to try the weight of it
against one of his own country. The simpleton consented,
pulled out. three 51. notes, and laying thesis on the seat,
anxiously looked at his new acquaintance weighing the sove-
reigns, while the other "gentleman " exchanged the bank notes
or those of the " Bank of Fashion," and his friend exchangedl
the gold sovereign for a piece of base metal. He put them all
together in his pocket, his friends left in a hurry, and, when
too late, he found he had lost all.
The MAGISTRATE said that the applicant
exhibited great
want of caution in the transnction • and a description of the
thieves, who were well known to belong to the " swell mob,
having been given to the police, their capture is likely to be
effected.
