LONDON AND CROYDON RAIL
WAY COMPANY.

The fourteenth half-yearly meeting of the Share-
xolders in this Company was held yesterday at the
..ondon Tavern, at one o'clock. From the Report it
appears that the total revenue of the Company has
been nearly stationary, and that the balance in hand
:s not sufficiently large to warrant its division among
the Proprietors, therefore no dividend was declared.
the balance in hand amounts only to 1,8971. 103. Ofd.
Ile Report states the following as the circumstances
which have contributed to prevent any increase in the
revenues of the Company :
The tenacity of the Greenwich Company to a toll
almost prohibitory of a short and cheap traffic, which,
whilst it has diminished the revenue of that Company,
has likewise effectually checked the receipts of the
Croydon line; the slow development of the Brighton
traffic during the early part of the year, and the high
rate of fare maintained by that Company, which has
had the effect of reducing the proportion which the
toll should bear to its gross receipts, by diminishing
the number of passengers from which such receipts
have been obtained."
It appears that the Directors of the Croydon Company
have entered into an arrangement with the South
Eastern Company, the object of which is a division
between the two companies of the fare charged by the
South Eastern Company, after deducting the ex-
penses of conveyance, in proportion to the length of
line of each company traversed by thW passengers
from whom such fare is received.
With respect to the failure of the recent application
to Parliament for a Bill for a common road, and to the
me4su-reitroPose3tl-4x* 13.epoid contains
the following annthiveeinent
"Your Directors propose to make another arrange-
ment with the South Eastern Company, which was
the subject of a communication to the Proprietors at
the late Special Meeting. The loss of the Bill before
Parliament, for a common road approach, and the
subsequent alteration of the Standing Orders of the
House of Commons regarding railway Bills, have, in
some measure, extended the views of the Directors of
the two Companies relative to this matter ; and it is
now their united opinion, that the public convenience
and the interest of both proprietaries would be better '
secured by making not merely an approach to the
Grange-road, but a railway to a station near the
Bricklayers' Arms. The whole of the land necessary
For this purpose is either purchased or under agree-
nent, and your Directors anticipate no difficulty,
therefore, in an Act being obtained in the next session
of Parliament to carry this very desirable object into
effect. To this intent it is proposed that a sum of
money shall be raised upon the security of tolls, de-
rivable from the traffic over the new line—that the in-
terest of this money be further guaranteed by the two
Companies, in the proportion of two-thirds by the
South Eastern Company, and one-third by the Croy-
don Company, and the profits, after paying such in-
terest, to be divided in like proportion. There is also
an understanding that if the project be not carried out,
the expenses hitherto incurred shall be borne equally
by both Companies. Every probability, however,
speedily accomplished, and of our
exists of its being
obtaining, by this means, at a comparatively moderate
terminus and goods sta-
cost, an efficient West-end
tion for all the Southern lines, thereby xteinoving all
pretence for any other terminus independent of the
Croydon Railway?'
From the statements of gr. Cubitt, the engineer,
it appeared that the expense of this railway to the ter-
minus at the Bricklayer's Arms, would amount to about
150,0001., of which 50,000/. would have to be raised

sageby the Croydon Company.

(great earth works, caused by the landns consequence
at New-
cross and Forest-hill, during the last winter. Your
Directors regret to say that these works have
cex-
ceeded what they anticipated, whenthey gave notice
n
of the expected demand upon IheP.r.o. tion to the prietors at the
last general meeting, and that in
.odi
ex-
pense thereby occasioned, it has become expedient,
according to the advice of your Consulting Engi-
neer, to purchase a considerable quantity of land for
the purpose of securing the permanent safety of your
railway, and preventing the possibility of the recur-
which lately hap-
rence of such a catastrophe as that
pened; Mr. Cubitt has likewise recommended that
the rails throughout the line should be gradually
taken up and re-laid, ill consequence of some defect,
arising from original construction, which has recently
manifested itself. The sum which your Directors con-
sider requisite for these purposes amounts to about
65,000/., and a resolution for raising the same will be
submitted to the meeting."
In answer to questions put by various Proprietors,
Mr. Cubitt stated that the purchase of the land
was to be made under the provisions of the recent
Railways' Regulation Act, and that it had been re-
commended by the Surveyor-General of Railways ap-
pointed by the Board of Trade. He also stated that
the necessity for re-laying the rails had been occasioned
by the use of patent felt in the original construction.
The use of the felt had originally met with his appro-
bation, and hid been recommended by several eminent
engineers, but it had been found that the felt worked
out, leaving a hollow' and that, consequently, the rails
became bent. He had therefore recommended that
the rails should be taken
up, straightened, and re-laid
flat upon the wood, the
expense of doing which would
amount to about 4,000/. It was
proposed by the
Chairman, and agreed to by the meeting, that the
Report should be received and adopted, after which
the Chairman proposed a resolution for raising the
sum required by the issue of loan notes of 2/. each
(which would give one loan note to each existing
share), bearing an interest of 51. per cent. for three
years. "The loan notes to be convertible into shares,
at the rate of 151. per share at the expiration of two
years, at the option of the holders, the payment of
interest to cease from the day of the conversion ; each
loan note not converted into shares which should be
outstanding at the end of the three years to be paid
off at par. The loan notes to be offered first of all
to the Shareholders, at the rate of one loan note
per share. In the event of any Shareholder refusing
to take his amount of loan notes, such notes to be
offered to the other Shareholders, and, in the event
of their refusal, to the public. The money to be paid
by two instalments ; one on the Isth October,
and
another on the 15th January next." This proposal
was, after some discussion, adopted by the Share-
holders, and thanks having been voted to the Chair-
man and Directors, the meeting separated, It ap-
pears from the accounts laid oil the table, that daring
the last half-year, 188,582 passengers have travelled
by the railway, besides those holding annual and
quarterly tickets, and that the total receipt, on account
of passenger traffic, has been 11,241/.65. 101; while
from the carriage of goods the receipts have only
amounted to 4661. 9s. 2d. The tolls received from
the Brighton Company, from Feb 1 to July 31st, on
120,806 passengers, horses, carriages, goods, and
merchandize, amount to 6,4681.-2 s. sd. ; and those
received from the South -Eastern Company, from
May 26 to July 31, on 17,536

DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDU-
CATION.

(From a pamphlet entitled " Strictures on Church
Commercial Schools, addressed to Parents and
Guardians of the rising Generation : being the First
Lesson for the Practical Preceptors of the Diocesan
Board of Education.")
Much has been said, and more written, on the
subject of education. Scheme after scheme has been
suggested, and partially acted upon, and, doubtlessly,
each was very well in its way
: it might have its
merits and its demerits, but until of late it never
entered into the imagination of msn, that the clergy,
invading the privileges, and openly violating the
rights of the laity, would form themselves into a
Board of Diocesan Education, with but one aim and
end in view—to take the monopoly of all school
profits into their own hands, and effect the total ruin
of a large and most respectable body of persons, by
whom, from generation to generation, the minds, the
morals, and the intellectual faculties of men, have
been formed; who have upheld by their teaching, and
their example, the Church and the constitution, and
I may add, taught even the clergy themselves all
they know.
injustice, nay, ingratitude, is apparent on the very
surface of the scheme; and I would ask by what
right, human or divine, the priesthood arrogate to
themselves the power of monopolizing education ?
It is contrary to the true spirit of the British Con-
stitution ; and, what is worse, they come forward
under something very like false pretences, when they
set themselves up as Diocesan Commercial School-
masters. In this they boldly profess to teach that
which their education and pursuits render them in-
capable, of teaching, We have heard of fox-hunt
¶ " it xs; oftotacirZnitqichisigiions, of aletettii-,
dealing parson, for which • he was silenced 'for some
years by a Bishop of London, but we never before
heard of a commercial body of Bishops, Priests, and
Deacons ! With the Lord Primate of England at the
head of his clerical-commercial fraternity, the mass
of the multitude, who content themselves with merely
looking at the outline of the plan as put forth by this
Board of Scholastic Control, may be deluded, for a
time, into a belief of its utility ; but, if they were to
look a little behind the scenes, they would find it is
but the dawning of a system f domination, which is
intended, in th end, to enslave the rising genera-
tion ; and by the influence which a welborganised
fraternity possesses, render them mere puppets that
they can pull to and fro by a string. I look upon
this institution in the light of a domestic inquisition,
and many evils are to be anticipated from this
clerical interference with the system of general edit.
cation. The system is founded on a wrong basis,
and the Diocesan Board of Education already begin to
feel their sandy foundation becoming a little unsafe,
or why should they have an idea of making it a re-
gular Government job ? I would ask my Lord of
London, if the idea of organising a company of clerical
inspectors of schools, to be paid out of the hard earn-
ing of the people, a salary 4‘ five hundred pounds
each per annum, was not suggested to his speculative
brain by the failure of another bright scheme that
emanated from the same source, viz., the refusal of the
majority of the Metropolitan Incumbents to subscribe
two guineas each annually, to add to the income
of some of his pet inspectors ? Unfortunately
for this brain-teaching monopoly fraternity, .1
happen to be a little in their secrets, and know their
unfitness to carry out their schemes. Under all cir-
cumstances I would ask my Lord of London, who is
himself the son of a schoolmaster, why he should be
one of the first and strongest persecutors of the mem-
bers of his father's profession? I will even go further,
and inquire of his Grace of Canterbury, who was also
the schoolmaster to the Abercorn family, by whom his
first living was purchased and presented, and whose
interest procured him his first and second mitre, whe.
ther his conscience does not smite him when he con.
siders that by patronizing this monopoly, he is vir.
tually depriving thousands of the most useful and re,
spectable members of a learned and honourable pro
fession, of the means of obtaining an existence?

FUNERAL OF DR. IRELAND.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
It having been announced that the body of the !at:-
Dean of Westminster would be interred immediately
after the usual Morning Prayers yesterday, shortly
after the opening of the doors the choir of the Abbey
was completely filled, and before the service was con-
cluded there was scarcely standing room. A few
minutes after ten the voices of the choristers were heard
chanting, as they entered the nave from the cloisters,
the opening sentences of the Burial Service, " I am
the resurrection," &c. The scene then became very
impressive, when viewed from the organ gallery ; a long
procession, headed by the almsmen and vergers, then the
choir, the Canon and Prebends, feathers, and the corpse,
followed by mourners, came slowly up the nave.
Upon the coffin being placed on tressels, just within
the gates of the choir, Prayers commenced, the 39th
and 90th Psalms being substituted for those appointed
for the day, and the lesson from the Burial Service for
the second for the day; these were the only deviations.
The Anthem was that selectedtfrom the latter part of
the 90th Psalm, and the whole of the choir being pre-
sent, the service was beautifully performed. At the
conclusion the procession was re-formed, and pro-
ceeded up the south aisle to the grave, which had
been prepared at the south-west junction of the nave and
transept. Here the choir and clergy formed a circle,
and the sentences, " Man that is born of a woman,"
were sung, accompanied by the organ, at which Mr.
Turle presided. The Sub-dean (Lord John Thynne)
then stepped forward to the foot of the grave, and read
that part of the service, " Forasmuch as it has
pleased ;" after which the singing boys chanted, " 1
heard a voice," accompanied as before. His Lordship
then proceeded with the appointed Prayers, which were
followed by Croft's Anthem, " When the ear," at
the conclusion of which the blessing was pronounced.
This terminated a ceremony almost as imposing as
the last, which, but a fortnight since, occurred within
the same building, to the sorrow of many wle hkd

THE 'GALWAY PISITERMEN.—On Monday last, a
most violent outrage was committed by a gang of the
Claddagh fishermen on Mr. Dudley Persse, under the
following circumstances ;--Mr. Persse, accompanied by
some friends, went out in his fishing-boat on the
above day, bat being aware of the violence and
intimidation practised by the Claddagh fishermen
on Any who are hardy enough to fish in the bay,
and thus dispute the monopoly of these daring legis-
lators, took the precaution to arm himself and his
friends. When about three miles from Burrin, they dis-
covered a fleet of large sailing boats leaving Galway,
all formed into a regular line of sailing. They were
furiously attacked h these boats, manned with from 20
to 30 men Padt, armed with sticks, stones, hatchets, and
diGeeilt weapons of destruction. Several of the boats

PORT OF LoNto
ON.
Captain Fisher, R.N., principal
to the Port of London, yesterday Harbour Master
reported to the Lord
Mayor that he had removed the wreck of the Vesper
collier barque, sunk off Gravesend, with the exception
of a few planks, which are in no respect an obstruc-
tion to the navigation.
The plan Captain Fisher adopted for the perform-
ance of this service has been by exploding charges of
gunpowder in and under the wreck, creeping, sling-
ing, and raising the dispersed timber separated by the
explosion, 1,300 pounds of gunpowder having been
used in accomplishing the removal. As the wreck
lay close to the shore, he was prevented from using
larger charges, and thus more delay took place than
would otherwise have occurred.
The cylinders were, in conformity with the direc-
tions of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
made at Chatham Dockyard, under the orders of Mr.
Fulcheon, master Luilder of that establishment. The
cylinders were fitted, charged, and fire .l by Captain
Fisher and the people attached to the harbour ser-
vice, and from the
practice t hey have had upon this oc-
casion, there will arise no difficulty in future in remov-
ing wrecks in theßiver Thames, the navigation of which
it is now more than ever necessary to secure from
impediments in consequence of the enormous increase
of shipping. The charges of powder were fired with
Mr. Smee's galvanic battery, supplied by Mr. Palmer,
of Newgate-street, by order of the Navigation Com-
mittee. Captain Fisher expressed himself much in-
debted to Mr. C. James, the Harbour Master at
Gravesend, and Mr. William Downes, the diver, for
the assistance. NO accident' occurred during the

CHINESE POLICE.—So summary is the mode in
which the object of the police is effected in Canton, t' at
it is no light matter to be once in their hands. The
Chinese emphatically express their sense of this unfor-
tunate condition by the popular phrase, " The meat is
on the chopping-block." Not unfrequently, in minor
cases, a man receives the punishment, and again goes
free, the same hour in which he commits the crime.
The forms of trial are simple. There is no Jury,
no pleading. Tho criminal kneels before the Ma-
gistrate, who hears the witnesses, and passes sen-
tence ; he is then remanded to prison, or sent to the
place of execution. Seldom is he acquitted. When
witnesses are wantinv, he is sometimes tortured until he
gives in evidence against himself: There are four gaols
in Canton, which together contain several hundred pri-
soners. The gaol is commonly called to-yo, hell, or lite-
rally " earth's prison." All capital offenders suffer
without the southern gates, near the river. Hundreds
die there annually. When brought to the fatal spot,
they kneel with their faces towards the Emperor's court,
and, bending forward in the attitude of submission and
thanksgiving, suddenly expire beneath the bloody sword
of the executioner.

The Dowager Marchioness of Conyngham has
joined the congregation which assemble at Portland
Chapel in Southampton, under the ministration of the
Bev. Mr. Pulsford, a very able and exemplary Baptist
reacher.

MONOPOLY,

London, Sept. 9, 1842.
The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of
Brown, or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub-
lished in the Gazette of this evening :
West India •• 3ss. 61d. par cwt.
East India . .
Mauritius..
Total average price of the two descriptions
is 365. 3,1 d. per cwt.
The actual quantities sold on account of the im-
porters, in the week ending the 6th of September,
according to the returns made upon oath, by the
Sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parlia-
ment, and on which quantities the above
_prices are
computed, consisted of 35,038 cwt. of West India,
and 4,726 cwt. of East India Sugars.
350 cwt. of Maur Sugar have been sold in the
same week at 255. per cwt., which, being classed as
East India, unfairly depresses the average price of
that kind of Sugar.
The annual Acts of Parliament determines that
the duties on Sugars from July, 1842, to July,
1843, shall not exceed certain rates --this knowledge,
coupled with recent information that the supply of
Sugar from the Colonies will be inadequate to the
usual &mend for home use, leads the monopolists to
indulge the hope that the prices of their Sugar will
rise ; they have consequently been firm, and have ac-
tually obtained an advance of sixpence per cwt.
Their cupidity causes them, however, to forget, that
although duties cannot be raised without the sanction
of Parliament, yet they may be diminished whenever
the Government deems it proper to issue an Order in
Council for that object, and that, too, without giving
the parties concerned further notice than transmitting
the document to the Customs. There is good reason
to believe that if a serious advance in the prices of
Sugar for home consumption should occur, that the
power of reducing the rate of duties will be exer-
cised as far as relates to Foreign Sugars. It there-
fore behoves dealers to be especially cautious in their
transactions, and to hold only such stocks of British
Sugars as are absolutely necessary for their bnsiness.
The prevalence of an opinion that Forei Sugars
must and will be admitted to the home market before
Christmas next, has probably induced the briskness,
though without alteration of prices, recently experi-
enced in the market. Parties may buy them to hold
under an apprehension that such a reduction
of duty as would bring them into home use
would raise their value two shillings per °wt.
Having last week assigned reasons why the West
India Proprietors are not likely to procure an acces-
sion of labour on their estates through the aid of im-
migration, and abundantly shown why in that respect
they have only themselves to thank for the difficulty
they are in for want of workmen, we advert to-day to
the second mode of reducing the cost of labour, a
mode, unlike the other, being completely under West
Indian control ; accordingly we proceed to examine
what the result would be of throwing out of sugar
cultivation those grounds which from the impoverished
state of the soil will not yield a full crop. It is well-
known, be the land where it may, that when ex-
hausted by forcing produce—and this sin especially ap-
plies to the 'West Indies—that an immense strength of
labour is required to secure even a scanty return. In
order to render our meaning quite palpable, we give
the following hypothetical case :—We will suppose A.
and B. two West India Proprietors, who have each
100 acres of land in the Colonies ; the 100 acres be-
longing to A. have, from bearing a continued suc-
cession of Sugar crops become exhausted—therefore
to get any Sugar from them, say 80 hogsheads a-year,
the work of 150 negroes is required for their cultiva-
tion ; the estate of B. has been carefully managed, and
on that account yields 100 hogsheads of Sugar, raised
and made by the continuous work of 50 negroes.
A. and B. are competitors in the labour market—
their united wants are 200—but they find only 150
negroes to be hired. 8., holding the more profitable
land, engages 50 of them, though compelled by the
rivalry of A. to give such exorbitant wages, that
the blacks (the complaint of the West India proprie-
tors) are able to remain idle three days,in the week,
leaving the 100 to be hired by A. at the like rate 4€
wages ; these also work only three days in the week ;
the consequence is, that A. has but one-third of hie
100 acres cultivated, *Rich then produce only to
hhds. of sugar a %year. B. has half hid leo •
acres planted which yield 50 hbds,
the deficiency on A.'s estate arising partly from..
want of sufficient hands, and 'Partly because
the hands engaged will only work on alternate
days. B.'s deficiency is occasioned entirely- by the
latter cause. Together A. and 13,. ship for the mother
country 70 hhds. Now, if A. had his 100 acres
cultivated for provisions, he would require the assist-
ance of only 25 negroes, throwing back upon the
labour market the remaining 75, who would compete.
for employment with the 100 blacks hired, by B.
B. would then dictate a rate of wages 'that would
ensure their working continuously thrbughout tY.e
year ; his estate would consequently ship 100 ;
in point of quantity, therefore, there worild be in-
crease of 30 hhds. in the annual produttion air: ship.
ment, and the labour of 75 negroes to spare.
besides these advantages, the quality of the Sugar in
the 100 MIAs shipped from the single estate would be
very superior to the Sugar which would have been
shipped in 70 hhds, from the two half_ forked estates ;
for this reason, B's estate by the mode suggested'
would have a gang of negroeP, upon it, who would'
work with regularity, and *lie juice, as soon as ex-
pressed from the canes., would be eoiled down to
Sugar without delay, Expedition in making Sugar
is of the first impe:iiance ; if the cane juice from ex-
posure to the 'atmosphere becomes tainted by acidity,
the utmost skill of the manager to convert it into
good Sugar will be defeated. The miechief arisinz
therefore, from negroes working only on alternate
days is irretrievable, and accounts, is a great lace-
sure, for the gummy condition of a large pronortion
of the West India Sugar, and the quantity of lime in
it, introduced for the purpose of neutraasin? the
acidity which delay in the boiling had occasioned.
It therefore follows that if the exhausted soils were
thrown out of Sugar cultivation, one-fourth more:
Sugar would be imported from the West Indies, and
the whole of it would be of a good and sound quality,
The West India Proprietors state 355. per cwt. te, 'Se
the cost of Sugar, including all charges:. in 'order,
therefore, to arrive at what the actual
frosts of
labour are, the other charges incidental, 'to bring-
ing it to market here, which a'A knewn
must be deducted—for instP.nce, the first item in those
charges is the cask, which may be set, at, ls. per cwt.;
the second, the freight, &c., at ss. ; The third, dock-
age and management prior to sale., 4s.—together 10s.
per cwt., leaving 25a. per cwt. for the culture of the
canes and manufacturing the Sugar. According to
the showing of the planters the labourers receive now
just double the amount of wages they ought to re-
ceive, because the sum paid for three days' labour
will keep them comfortably for the week ; it is fair,
then, to assume, that when competition for employ-
ment became active the owner of the fertile soil would
readily engage hands at half the amount of wage%
now given, in all probability at less than hair ties
charge for culture, &c., instead of being equivalent to
255. per cwt., would consequently then be 12s. 6d. ;
the cost of manager or planter may be set at 35., and
should likewise be deducted, because it is entirely
optional; the proprietor may avoid it if he chooses
by residing on his own estate, which, in fact, he
ought to do. It is absurd to suppose the owner of an
estate in Jamaica can live in London and mann,.
his affairs, combining agriculture with manufaet-u—,
direct these processes with any degree approaching pro
per economyor good order; the 3s. per cwt. should,there.
tore, be deducted, which

quality commands. We . next week looking
into the charges for hhds., freight, &c., dockage, and
management here. We think we can enlighten the
West India Proprietors in these matters, and show
them the way to undersell their foreign
comj!etitors
profitably to themselves, being a further deraonstra-
tion, if such be necessary, that free is dreaper than
slave labour.
