RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

The present marketable value of the London and Bir-
mingham railway is £9,693,750.

We understand, on good authority, that the Grand
Junction Company have declined to take any share in the
Chester and Holyhead Railway Company.
LANCASTER AND CARLISLERAILWAY.—The contract
for rails and chairs for this line has been taken by Messrs.
Bagnell and Co., of Staffordshire, at a price which leaves
a difference in favour of the company of £35,000 between
the estimated and actual cost.
NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The fifteenth half-
yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday last at
Leeds. The receipts for the half-year were £121,66315. Bd.
and the expenditure amounted to £56,940 9s. 3d., leaving
£64,722 13s. sd. available for a dividend. There was an
increase, during the half-year, of £6,463 19s. 2d. in the
revenue, and a diminution of £6,230 13s. Id. in the ex-
penditure, as compared with the corresponding period of
1842. A dividend was adopted of £2 on every whole
share, of £l. on every half-share, and of 13s. 4d. on every
third-share, payable on the 23rd instant, clear of property
tax, and the balance of £4,956 3s. 4d. was carried to
the next half-year's account.
YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—OD Thurs-
day last, the half-yearly meeting was held at York. The
receipts for the half year amounted to £47,504 Bs. A
dividend of £2 10s. on each whole share, and £1 3s. on
each half share, was declared. The amount required for
payment of the dividends is £24,455, which being de-
ducted from the profits of the half year will leave a sur-
plus of £1,752 3s. 10d. to he added to the reserve Lund.
Out of that fund the sum of £3,790 10s. 10d. has been

PROPOSED NEW RAILWAY FROM LEEDS TO BRAD-
FORD.—Last week a meeting was held at Leeds, for the
promotion of a more direct and shorter line of railway
than that which has been projected in connection with the
North Midland Railway Company. It was resolved that
a company should be formed for the establishment of a
new line, which, for distinction sake, we may call the
southern line; the capital to consist of 12,000 shares of
£25 each. We understand that the southern line will
commence at or near the end of Aire-street, Wellington-
street, in Leeds, cross the river Aire near the Upper Weir,
and the Leeds and Liverpool canal between Holmefield-
lane end and Holbeck Town end ; and skirting the hill
side towards Low Wortley, will pass close to Butterbowl
Mill, Farnley. on the north side of Beulah farm house,
and from thence along the Pudsey and Tong Valley, by
Holme Green, to the south of, and near to the Court-
house in Bradford. On Friday morning 5,000 shares had
been subscribed for at Leeds, independent of those taken
up at Bradford and elsewhere.
NEWCASTLE AND DARLINGTON JUNCTION RAILWAY
COMPANY.—The fourth half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held at York, on Thursday last. The report
stated the works of the line had been carried on with the
utmost rigour during the past half-year, and that the di-
rectors have entered into contracts for the erection of eight
stations at different points of the line, including one for
the city of Durham. The latter'station is to be completed
on the Ist of March, and those on the south of Durham
on the Ist of May next. The directors had concluded an
agreement with the Great North of England Railway
Company, to work the whole of the traffic between Dar-
lington and Newcastle ; and all the guaranteeing compa-
nies have unanimously concurred in relieving this company
from their engagement to grant a lease of the line : there
was a good prospect of a railway being made from Berwick-
upon-Tweed to Edinburgh by the North British Railway
Company. The directors strongly recommended the share-
holders to give them authority to take prompt measures
for the effecting of a railway communication from New-
castle to Edinburgh. The cash account represented a
balance in the hands of the treasurer of £42,497 17s.
BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—The meeting of this company
was held on Wednesday : a dividend of £1 per share was
declared ; and it was resolved to conclude contracts for
leasing the Hastings and Lewes branch at a rate of 4 per
cent, upon the cost of construction, not exceeding
£-175,000, and the Shoreham and Chichester branch at a
rate of 4 per cent. upon cost of construction, not exceed-
ing £300,000. A resolution was passed giving the direc-
tors power to enter into negociations with the South-
Eastern Company for a final settlement of the large out-
standing claim of £360,000 on fair and reasonable terms.
Unless such power was delegated, it was stated that no
hope of arrangement could be expected for the present
generation of shareholders. Whatever sum is found due
to the Brighton Company will, it appears, be applied to
the payment of the mortgage bonds, in condition with the
terms of the act of Parliament. The traffic increased
during the half• year £9,885, while the expenses have bee❑
reduced £7,500, making a gross increase in net revenue
of £17,300. The Brighton Company has at last joined
the South-Eastern and Croyden Companies in an amalga-
mation of working expenses, which arrangements come
into operation from the Ist of March. After paying this
dividend, which absorbs £35,156, a surplus of £2,510 is
left to the credit of the current half-year.
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On Friday
the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors took
place at the London terminus, Euston-grove. Mr. G. C.
Glyn, the chairman of the company, presided, and con-
gratulated the shareholders on the prospect that was opened
for their connecting the London and Birmingham line with
Lancaster and Carlisle, and in another direction with
Holyhead, where a spacious harbour was about to be
formed by government. The revenue account for the last
half-year, as compared with the corresponding half-year
of 1842, showed an increase in the traffic of £31,393, and
a decrease of £6,221 in the working charges. The direc-
tors had to report that the net profits of the year 1843
being £502,484 Os. 5d., and the dividend declared at the
last half-yearly meeting £242,732 145., there remained a
disposable balance of £259,751 6s. 5d., from which they
recommended that a dividend of 5 per cent. be deducted,
leaving £17,006 18s. sd. to the credit of the current half-
year. The directors had to apply to the proprietors for
powers to carry out the line from Chester to Holyhead,
where the government was about to erect a new harbour,
and thus make it the great medium of intercourse with
Ireland. Every endeavour had been made tc accommo-
date the public, and, in order to do so, they had given to
all passengers go;ng and returning by the railway on the
same day the benefit of a reduction of one-third in their
fares, and they allowed them to corn pound for two months'
fares at half-price. They had also modified their rates to
first-class passengers riding in the company's carriages,
but travelling with their own carriages on the train, by
charging them second-class fares. The report was adopted,
a dividend of 5 per cent. declared, and 17s. on each of the
£32 shares of the company. A resolution was adopted
giving powers to the directors to pro,vide capital for making
the proposed railway between Chester and Holyhead, not
exceeding in the whole £1,000,000 sterling, .and to take
any other measures for the interest of the company.

MARTYRS TO £30,000 A-YEAR.

(From the Dublin Evening Mail.)

The lay traversers, or demagogues of the platform, are
Daniel O'Connell, John O'Connell, Th9foas Ray, and
Thomas Steele.

We know not what income either of the two first may
derive from the funds paid into the Repeal Exchequer.
But, independently of that. Mr. Daniel O'Connell ex-
tracts from the agitation of the country his annual Tri-
bute, amounting on an average to £20,000 a-year. We
cannot separate the interest of the son from that of the
father; we, therefore, include Mr. John O'Connell in
this lucrative speculation.

Mr. Ray is Secretary of the Repeal Association, and,
in that capacity, draws, in the shape of salary and other
emoluments, an annual income of (we understand)
£l,OOO.

Mr. Thomas Steele is an agent, bearing the indefinite
character of Head Pacificator, and, besides travelling ex-
penses on special occasions, draws an allowance of five
pounds a-week (at the least) out of the Repeal Rent.
Having disposed of the tonguesmen, or demagogues of
the platform, we now come to the pensmen, or dema-
gogues of the press. They are by name and occupation—
Charles Gavan Duffy, proprietor of the Nation; John
Gray, proprietor of the Freeman's Journa and the Even-
ing Freeman; and Richard Barrett, proprietor of the
Pilot.

_ .._...
The profits which those literary demagogues derive
from the agitation of the country, may be ascertained
with sufficient accuracy on data of the simplest and surest
kind.

It is a law of the Association (see rule 9 of the book of
instructions to Repeal Wardens, rent-collectors, &c.),
that—" The sum of ten pounds collected and forwarded
to the Association, entitles the repealers of the district
whence it comes to a weekly paper for the entire year,
gratis; and the sum of twenty pounds entitles them to
the Pilot or Evening Freeman newspaper for the same
period, if they prefer either to two weekly newspapers."
Now, the price of a weekly newspaper for the year is
£1 10s. ; of a three-day evening paper, £3. One pound
ten shillings are to ten pounds, just as three pounds are
to twenty—that is to say, each is 15 per cent. on every
hundred pounds transmitted to the Repeal Association.
Had we an exact account of the income of the Corn-
Exchange, we should be able to tell to a shilling the an-
nual profits of this incendiarism. But, supposing the
Rent to amount, one week with another, to £1,060 (and
it has sometimes trebled that amount), we have an income
of £52,000 per annum, out of which the literary traver-
sers abovementioned divide among them (at 15 per cent.)
about one-sixth of the entire amount—namely, the sum
of £7,800 per annum ; being at the moderate rate of
£2,600 to each and every of them. All this, be it ob-
served, is over and above the fair ordinary profit made by
their newspapers in the usual way, as the exponents of
party opinion, or as payment for Repeal advertisements,
&c. Let us now tot the items:—
Lay:
I. Mr. O'Connell
2. Mr. John O'Connell
3. Mr. T. M. Ray ....

5. Mr. Richard Barrett

260

...... 2,600

6. Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy
7. Doctor Gray .

£29,060

Thus, of the eight traversers now on trial, seven draw
from the funds derived from the agitation they have raised,
very nearly thirty thousand pounds a-year. To them, at
least, agitation is, and has been, a profitable traffic.
Let agitation die, and what would be the consequence
to those disinterested patriots? Would they not lose this
.£29,000 per annum? On the other hand, let the agita-
tion be increased—let it be doubled, or trebled—and, in
proportion as those blow-coals are' enabled to infuriate
the flame, will their profits on the ruin and misery of
their country be swelled.
Is this, gentlemen traversers, a true bill or not? We
tell you that you must render an account to the people of
the money you have induced them to pay into your hands.
You must tell them how much or bow little you admit of
the charge : for, unless your own documents be false, this
bill must be true. You cannot be silent. We repeat our
statement, that of the nine traversers originally indicted,
but two could come into court with clean hands, and we
owe it is justice to the Roman Catholic priesthood to say,
that those two are priests of the Church of Rome. The
lay traversers, whether of the press or of the platform,
re making money on the mischiefs they are able to cre-
ate. They have, in the disturbance of their country, the
deep interest of pecuniary profit.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK IN THE FRITH OF CLYDE.
—About eleven o'clock on Monday forenoon, the long
boat of the schooner Ann, of Ardrossan,—Jas. Craw-
ford, master,—was discovered lying on Brest Rock, keel
up, with her four oars under her. At noon, the jolly
boat was seen drifting in towards the shore ; which, on
coming within reach, was found to contain the cold and
lifeless corpse of the mate, John Henderson, son of Mr.
Matthew Henderson, ship-builder, Ardrossan. Several
pieces of wreck have since come ashore, such as rails,
bulwarks, &c., and there is every reason to fear she has
been run down by some vessel on Sunday night, some-
where near Ailsa Craig. The Ann, of A, drossan, was a
fine new Schooner, built only eight months ago, by Mr.
Henderson, of Ardrossan. She had made one voyage to
and from Malta, and was on her passage from Cork to the
Clyde, with a cargo of flour. There is too much reason
to tear that all the crew have perished. The captain had
a wife and six children.—Ayr Advertiser,

SECOND EDITION

Standai•d-oifice, Half-past Eight o'clo,;k,

THE STATE TRIALS.

DUBLIN, Monday, Feb. 12th.
At an early hour this morning groups of persons were
seen wending away their way along the-quays towards the
Four Courts.
The morning was wet and gloomy, but about eight
o'clock began to clear up a little.
At half-past eight o'clock the avenues to the court were
crowded, and it was scarcely possible to pass through the
hall.

There was a very large police force on duty in the outer
yard to preserve order, which was exceedingly requisite,
owing to the eagerness of the multitude to crush in.
At nine o'clock the court presented a very gay and ani-
mated appearance at this hour.
The gallery was crowded, but there were very few
ladies present, either in the public gallery, the reserved
seats, or in the high sheriff's gallery.
The bar mustered very strong, not a seat was unoccu-
pied, and many members were forced to stand ; the side
avenues were also thronged to an inconvenient extent.
At this hour Mr. O'Connell entered, accompanied by
Mr. John O'Connell and Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun.
All the other traversers were present, with the exception
of the Rev. Mr. Tierney and Mr. Duffy.
The Right Hon. D. R. Pigot, Mr. Moore, Q.C., Mr.
Henn, Q.C., Mr. Monaghan, Q.C., Sir Coleman O'Logh.
len, Mr. Thomas Hagan, and several others of the tra.
versers' counsel now entered and took their seats.

Immediately after the Attorney and Solicitor-General
with Mr. Sergeant Warren, Mr. Martly, Q.C., Mr.
' Brewster, Q.C. Mr. Bennett, Q.C., Mr. Tomb, Mr
Napier, Mr. Holmes, and others entered.

Exactly
E at fifteen' minutes past nine o'clock, Judge
Burton, the Chief Justice, and Mr. Justice Crampton
entered the court, and took their seats on the bench.
Mr. Justice Crampton, for the information of his
brother judges on the bench, related all that had transpired
during their absence on Saturday night after the jury had
retired to consider their verdict.

The jury were then called. The traversers and jury
having answered to their names,
Mr. Justice Crampton stated to the jury the course
which they were to pursue in returning their verdict,
and explained the meaning and effect of the various
divisions of the indictment, after which he advised them
to retire for a few minutes, and see whether they had act-
ed in accordance with his instructions. At 25 minutes to
te❑ o'clock the jury accordingly withdrew.
The jury returned at nine minutes to ten o'clock, when
The Clerk of the Crown said—Gentlemen of the jury,
hand in your issue paper.
The Foreman—We have put our names to the different
counts—that is, we have written them on the list, as there
was not room for us to write them under the separate
parts of each count. And here 1 would ask, on the part
of the jury, are they to get compensation for their time—
(laughter.)

M. Mo.ore, Q.C. (to the Clerk of the Crown)—Call each
luror by his name.

- ' This being done by the Clerk of the Crown, he asked—
Gentlemen of the jury, do you agree ?

Foreman—Yes:

Mr. Moore, Q.C.—I wish it to appear on your lord-
ship's notes that there is an objt.ction, on the part of the
traversers, to the reception of the verdict, on the ground of
a misnomer as to the name of Rigby, one of the jurors, who
is one of the persons in the jury-box. He stated that his
name was John Jason Rigby, whereas the name which ap-
pears on the panel is John Rigby, and which, on this trial,
amounts to a misnomer.

The Attorney-General—Rigby was sworn as " John
Rigby," and there was no particular notice taken at the
time of that circumstance by the Crown.

THE VERDICT.

The Clerk of theCrown—Gentlemen, you say this is your
verdict?

Foreman—Yes.
The Clerk of the Crown then read the verdict, which was
as follows :

FIRST COUNT.

This count contains five distinct charges, on each of
which an issue was sent up to try, to wit:—
I.—The traversers are severally charged with unlaw-
fuljy, maliciously, and seditiously contriving, intending,
and devising to raise and create discontent and disaffection
amongst the said liege subjects to hatred and contempt of
the government, and constitution of this realm as by law
established.

2.—They are charged with intending and devising, " to

All the traversers guilty, except the Rev. Mr. Tierney
not guilty.
The issue-paper was signed " James Hamilton, for self
and fellow-jurors."

The Clerk of the Crown—Gentlemen of the
,wry, there
is aothing further to detain you.
Chief Justice—Certainty, gentlemen of :the jury, the
very laudable and minate attention which was given by
you in this case from the beginning to the end was great
indeed. The loss of your time, the interference with
}our occupations and pursuits for nearly a month, was
certainly great ; but then it was to be borne in mind that
this was an unprecedented case. I am sorry to say the
Court has no power to order you any compensation.
The act of Parliament does not order it. You hare
paid that attention to the whole progress of this trial—.
painful as it has been—which has been highly honour-
able and highly creditable to you all ; but that is all I
can say—we have not the power to give you any coca..
pensation—we thank you for your attendance, and you
are dismissed.

The jury then retired.
Mr. Moore, Q.C.—I request, my lord, on the part of
the traversers, that the crown furnish us with a co'
of that finding.
The Chief Justice spoke to the clerk of the crownr
whereupon

The Clerk of the Crown said, this court is now ad-
adjourned till the first day of next term.
The court was accordingly adjourned, the judges having
immediately left the bench, and in a few minutes the
court was completely deserted.
Large crowds were assembled outside; but in.,the-vici-
pity of the court there was not so much excitement as
might have been expected. The crowds peaceably dis-
persed in a very short time.
On the first day of next term a notice will be served on the
traversers by the Crown Solicitor, for a rule for judgment
n four days. On or before the expiration of this four days'
notice, an application will be made to the court, on behalf
of the traversers, in arrest of judgment. The grounds of
the application will be-1. a misdescription of a juror'S
name ; 2. the omission of proof of any unlawful act done
by the traversers in the county of the city of Dublin ; 3•
that no judicial act should have been done after 12 o'clock,
on Saturday night be the presiding judge. In the event of

nounce judgment, A writ of error will then be sued out,

DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated Saturday
night, from a correspondent at Tullatnoore
I have just been informed by the officers in barrack
that a most diabolical outrage was contemplated last night,
by two sods of burning turf having been thrown over the
barrack-wall, which fell on the powder-magazine, but
fortunately the roof was proof against fire. On the same
night a large hole was broke in the rere of the barrack'
wall, sufficient to admit a man ; but all was discovered
this day. I suppose the design was to have been carried
into effect this night by blowing up the magazine, or by
perpetrating some other atrocious outrage. The mis -
cre ants, however, have been foiled, as all here are now on
the alert. So much for the repeaters and their associates
in Tullarnoore."
