SOUTH EASTERN AND DOVER RAILWAY.

Yesterday afternoon, an adjourned special meeting oj
the Liverpool r roprietors of the South Eastern and Doveh
Railway was held at the Clarendon-rooms, for the purpose
of receiving the reply of the London directors to the reso-
lutions passed at a inee'ing held at Liverpool on Friday
week. Upwards of forty proprietors were present, com-
prising various influential gentlemen of the town and
neighbourhood, and the greatest unanimity prevailed.
Shortly after two o'clock, the chair• was taken by William
Cook, Esq.
The CHAIRMAN commenced the nroceedinas by ex-
pressing his belief that they were all aware that this was
en adjournment of a meeting held at the Clarendon-rooms,.
on the 23d of last month ; but as it was possible there
might be some gentlemen present who had not attended
the former meeting, he should read the resolutions passed
on that occasion. He then read the tour resolutions,
which stated, in substance, that the small weekly returns
for the carriage of goods on the line was unsatisfactory ;
that the correspondence between the company and all car-
riers should be published; and that the accounts should
be so kept as to show the cost of each portion of railway
until opened for traffic. The Chairman then read a copy
of his letter to the London Board, in which he enclosed
the foregoing resolutions, and expressed a hope that they
should receive the serious attention of the directors. lie
next read the reply which had been received from Mr.
John Whitehead, the secretary of the board, and of which
the following is an abstract :
" I have ly en instructed, in compliance with the request con-
tained in the end resolution, to forward to you copies of the
correspondence which has taken place with the carriers using
this railway, and, in so doing, to state that the directors do not
consider they would he justified in publishing the same, without
the consent of the carriers themselves previously obtained.
Forwarding the correspondence to you may, however, answer
every end.

" In reference to the 3rd resolu'ion, I am instructed to state,
that the interest on unproductive capital having, up to the pre-
sent time, been charged to revenu with the full privity and
sanction of the proprietors at large, it rests with them to deal
with the question hereafter as they shall deem best.
The directors feel gratified at the interest 3 ou take in the
management of the line.

The CHAIRMAN said it would be perceived from this
reply that the directors declined the publication of the
correspondence with the carriers. It rested now, how-
ever, with the present meeting to decide whether it should
be read or not. Ile was quite satisfied there was not a
gentleman in the room who would not be disposed to pay
deference to the directors, and to treat them with the
greatest possible courtesy ; but he left it entirely to the
meeting to determine the question.
Mr. Alderman Nicol, imagined that the correspond-
ence was sent for the purpose of being read by the Liver-
pool proprietors, and not for the exclusive use of their
chairman. As he understood the letter, the wish of the
directors merely was, that it should not appear in the Li-
verpool newspapers. (Hear, hear.)
It was then agreed that the correspondence should be
read, but not published. After it had accordingly been
read, the chairman spoke as follows :
I have carefully perused the letter from the carriers to
the directors of the railway, and I must say the result ap-
pears to me only to make it more apparent from the evi-
dence of the parties the most interested in producing a
contrary impression, that the proprietors should become
carriers on their own line. (Cheers.) I have also no he-
sitation in saying on further consideration, that I think
the prnprietorf ought not any longer to sanction the system
of charging to the revenue account from traffic the interest
on unproductive capital. The schemes not completed are
the Maidstone Branch, to open this month, which costs a
sum approaching half a million—the Tunbridge Wells
Branch, to open in March, which will be continued to
Hastings—the Canterbury, Ramsga'e, and Margate,
Branch—and then the line to Gravesend, Rochester, and
Chatham direct. These are all undertakings most capable
of bearing their own burdens. I feel confident the pro-
prietors would not have any objection to find the capital to
to construct them by a creation of new shares not bearing
interest until the respective branches were productive, but
to assent to the interest on all these very desirable adjuncts
and future feeders of the traffic being made a drag on the
trunk line now, and so being allowed to keep the whole
property in a state not to pay a dividend worthy of the
name is, I am sure, what the proprietors will assent to.
(Hear, hear.) It is my opinion that the advantage of
what I may call our plan being acted on will be so appa-
rent that the directors will now feel much obliged to us
for having urged it upon them. (Hear.) lam quite
ready to take my share of the responsibility of its
being adopted, and of acting with what I hope
I am not saying too much in calling becoming firmness,
in our communications with the directors. (Hear, hear.)
To those gentlemen I entertain no unfriendly feeling, but
at the same time L• for one, will not fail to oppose them
when I think them in the wrong ; and I shall be equally
ready to support them to the utmost, in all sound mea-
sures for the protection of the property of the South
Eastern and Dover Company. The general meeting of
proprietors takes place in London on the 10th instant : it
is an adjourned meeting from that of the The
accounts, therefore, that were then laid before you, are
still awaiting your handling and revision; and I am glad
to be able to say, that I believe our principle—the true
one—of treating them will give a handsome dividend,
though it may prove to be the smallest the company ever
pays. (Cheers.)
Mr. Lawrence HEvvvortm said he had to apologise
for not having been present at the last meeting. He
had, however, been kept away by the indisposition of his
mother, who was now, he was happy to say, convalescent.
He had heard the correspondecce which had just been
read and he felt more confirmed than ever that the pro-
ceedings of the last meeting were perfectly correct.
(Hear.) Those letters justified every inquiry and step
which had been taken. There was only one of them,
(No. 6.) which gave them any accurate information; and
that information was calculated to confirm them in the
opinion that if their goods traffic were properly managed,
and taken into their own hands, it would yield . them a
largely increased revenue. (Hear.) He begged it,
how-
ever, to be distinctly understand that though a meetinghad been held here for the purpose of considering the
proceedings of the Directors, the Liverpool proprietors
had nothing inimical towards that body : on the contrary,
they held them in high estimation and none more so than
the Chairman of the Directors (Mr. Baxendale.) They
knew that gentleman's general good management; he
bad displayed great ability and great powers of mind ;
and he had moreover framed different resolutions to
carry out the scheme advantageously. He (Mr. Law-
rence) had had the honour of sitting at the same
board with him, and there could be no doubt that he was
a man of business, sound at heart and determined to
proceed in a masterly style. (Hear.) Therefore, they
had nothing inimical to either him or the directors : their
only object was, to place the carrying business on abetter
footing and to alter the system of changing the interests,
with a view of doing justice to those who sold out their
stock. He had great pleasure in moving :

" That the Proprietors now assembled are confirmed in their
opinion, by the information this day received, that a thorough
change in the system of carrying Goods on the South-Eastern
and Dcver Railway is imperatively called for, and they record
their conviction that it would be as much for the advantage of
the Public as of tye Company that the South Eastern and Dover
Proprietors should themselves become carriers."

Mr. CHARLES GROVES, in seconding the motion, said
it was difficult fairly to estimate the value of the goods
traffic. Under the present system, by which they probably
got only one-third of the value they ougnt from it, the
average weekly receipts in August. 1844, were fully double
that of August, 1843,—being £493 against £242. But
September, and the two following months, were of con-
siderable importance in respect of revenue from goods ;
for, last year, they yielded the weekly average of £397
for September, £760 for October, and £437 for November
—a great part arising from the carriage of hops. But
now that a branch was being just opened to Maidstone,
the very heart of the hop country, and the most populous
town in the county, it would not be unreasonable to ex-
pect £l5OO or £2OOO a week for the month of October,
even under the present system. But, if the company be-
came their own carriers, £4OOO, or even £5OOO, might be
expected during that month. This, therefore, was the
time for urging on the directors the necessity of making
a change in the system. (Hear, hear.)
The resolution, together with the two subsequent ones,
was put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. N. D. BOLD said that his opinion so completely
coincided with that of the chairman, with regard to the
system of charging the interest, that he had great pleasure
in proposing the second resolution, which was in itself
sufficiently explicit :
"That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the net earnings
from traffic, from the Ist October. 1843, cannot in equity be
charged with interest on Capital then unproductive, and there.
fore such net earnings, allowing for the subsequent opening
from Folkstone to Dover, and of the Bricklayers' Arms Branch,
are applicable for a dividend."

Mr. DANIEL WILLINK seconded the resolution.
Mr. Alderman NIcoL said he was absent from the last
meeting, and that when 'he heard it was intended to hold
such a meeting for the purpose of considering the con-
duct of the directors as regarded the goods traffic, he
viewed it with alarm ; and knowing that meetings of the
kind had before led to differences which bad caused a de-
preciation in the value of stock, lie confessed that he was
considerably alarmed. But, when he read the proceedings
of the farmer meeting, he took a very different view of
the matter; and to-day he bad great pleasure in agreeing
with the shareholders in all that had passed at bot their
meetings. (Hear, bear.) But the information they pos-
sessed was very incomplete. It might be that the direc-
tors could explain every point fully and satisfactorily. He
hoped it would be so. He was glad to hear every gentle-
man who had spoken that day express a desire to support
the directors, and to co-operate with them in all that was
likely to be for the advantage of the company. lie was
extremely glad to find that no unfortunate feeling at all
existed among them, and that their desire was, to do
everything to forward the general good of the establish-
ment. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving :
"That the Proprietors present pledge themselves to support
the Directors in all sound measures for the protection of the
South Eastern and Dover Railway Company."

Mr. JAMES BuenaN AN seconded the motion.
Tha CHAIRMAN said he had himself been present at
one of the annual meetings of the company, and that be
could concur in all Mr. Heywood had said respecting the
courtesy and ability of the chairman of the directors, Mr.
Baxendale. He was sure no gentleman present would
throw anything in the way of a conciliatory course being
pursued towards the directors, and that the present meet-
ing would only be viewed as one of a friendly nature.

MR. BRAHAIR'S CONCERT.—This interesting musieal enter-
tainment will (as elsewhere advertised) take place on Monday
next, and not on Tuesday, as before stated in our paper. We
wish the veteran vocalist, who is accompanied by his son, every
success,

SIR HOWARD DOUGLAS AND CAPTAIN

WARNER.

We have all along been at a loss whether to consider the
gallant captain, whose vaunt of the possession of some
wonderful powers of destruction, applicable against either
fleets at sea, or stronger works ashore, has, o late years,
excited such attention in military, naval, and even scien-
Vdc circles, as an enthusiast or a patriot. Few men really
possessing a secret, so important to his country to pre-
serve, and of which it is in all respects so important to the
liberties of mankind, that a forbearing and humane use
should he made, could have withstood the magnificent
offers which Captain Warner is said to have had made
him, or kept his temper under the rebuffs which he has
certainly received from various ministers to whom he has
submitted his inventions for purchase, or from profes-
sional tnen who have been appointed to determine upon
their merits. We are still unwilling to believe that he is
to be classed under any other title than that of an honest
p.nd a faithful man.

But, it coming before the world in the light we would
fain view him, we cannot admire the spirit which has of
late characterized his remarks upon the conduct of many
of those British officers, to whom has been deputed the
task of testing his supposed powers. These are in bad
taste; much calculated to injure him in the estimation of
his fellow-countrymen, however much disposed, like our-
selves, to think well of him ; and slier; a frame of mind
which is anything but likely to attract, either from go-
vernment or the British public, that candid consideration
of his claims, which the importance of the question which
he brings before them demands. In particular, the style
of his attack upon the gallant representative for Liverpool,
recently addressed to the editor of the London Times,
merits, in our opinion, reprobation, whatever may be the
degree of truth upon which it is founded. To no man,
we are convinced, would Sir Howard Douglas do a de-
liberate injury; and Captain Warner should have been
very careful before imput ng to a man of high honour an
inclination to commit injustice or to sport with a claim
legitimately made by any one, least of all by a member of
either branch of the service.

We did propose entering at some length into an exami-
nation of the charges brought by Captain Warner against
the condnct of Sir Howard Douglas, in his character of a
commissioner appointed to examine into the merits of his
invention. We shall do this in our next. Our present
space is quite inadequate for such a task ; and the late
period at which the necessary evidence has come before
us, scarcely leaves us time to form a candid judgement of
the merits of the case.

PROPOSED JUNCTION OF THE SHEFFIELD
AND MANCHESTER, AND BIRMINGHAM
AND MANCHESTER RAILWAYS, WITH THE
LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER LINE.

We understand that the long-contemplated junction of
these railways, by a line to the south of Manchester, with
a central station in the neighbourhood of Oxford-road,
has been fully determined upon ; and, from the energy
with which railway improvements are just now being
prosecuted, we may anticipate its speedy formation. Our
readers may remember that we contended for the advan-
tages of this junction long before the present line through
Manchester to the present terminus in Hunt's Bank was
conceded. We foresaw that such a junction with two
such powerful companies as the Sheffield and Manchester
and Birmingham and Manchester must eventually be
made, and that a more central station than that at Hunt's
Bank, for the Liverpool traffic, would be loudly called
for; and it may now, at least, be questioned whether the
Board of the Liverpool and Manchester did well at the
time in submitting to waive their admitted preference for
that junction, and expending so large a sum upon the line
through Salford, by which nothing but the Leeds traffic
is benefited, and to pay for which passengers between the
two towns have to submit to the imposition of an addi-
tional shilling per head in fares already exorbitant.
Whil,t upon this subject, we may be excused if we
throw out a hint or two to the Directors of, what we may
call, our own railway. The station to be formed in
Oxford-road will, no doubt, be one worthy of three such
wealthy companies as those which it will unite. The
existing stations in Manchester are sufficiently COMMO.•
dious and splendid. Compared with them, the Liverpool
station is a paltry affair in every respect, and affords per-
haps the least amount of public comfort and convenience
to be found at the terminus of any leading railway in the
kingdom. Surely this might be amended • and comfor-
table waiting and refreshment rooms at feast might be
provided, if we are to have nothing better. We pay quite
sufficient for travelling upon this line to entitle us to look
for decent accommodation at both its termini.

A Welsh Main et Bowls will be played, at the Far-
mers' Arms, Park Road Green. on Thursday next, Sep.
sth, between sixteen first-rate players.
On Monday last, as a gentleman in Workington was
superintending the spreading of some marl on one of his
fields, he found a piece of the celebrated brass money of
the reign of James 11. The marl came from Drogheda
as ballast in a collier, and was brought from a little up the
river Boyne above Drogheda. By a strange coincidence
both the master of the collier and the gentleman alluded
to were Orangemen.

PICKING THE POCKET OF A YOUNG LADY.—Yes-
terday, a well-clad boy. named Henry Cowan, was placed
at the bar of the Pollee-court, charged with having, on
Saturday, picked the pockst of a young lady—Miss
Vernon, from Ashton. The prisoner—an old offender.
who had been in gaol recently for three months, and had
been committed four times—set up a defence that it was
his own money which he had dropped accidentally by the
way. He was, of course, committed for trial.
TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. J. C.
Wood—recently appointed curate of St. Thomas, Toxteth-
nark—has been presented on his leaving his euracy, at
Newton Heath, by the teachers and scholars of that place,
with a neat copy of D'Oyley and Mant's Bible, " as," as
stated in the accompanying address, "a small tribute of
their affectionate regard ; and beg of him to accept their
sincere and heartfelt thanks for the good services ren-
dered during his short ministration amongst them." The
donors conclude with an affectionate prayer in behalf of
the worthy pastor. On Tuesday evening last, a tea party,

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.--A tall good-looking
young man named Neil M'Nicar, was yesterday, placed at
the bar of the police court, charged with having em-
bezzled from his employer sums of money to a considesable
amount. Mr. Wardle appeared for the complainant, and
Mr. Davenport for the defendant. Mr. Henry Rose, wine-
merchant, of this town, said that the prisoner had been
employed by him from the Ist of April last, as town
traveller, a soliciior, and also a cash-keeper, and general
superintendant of the business. For this he was to receive
£3O a year, and 2. per cent on the nett amount of sales,
to be computed every quarter, and without reference to
losses in trade. An agreement in writing had been drawn
up by witness, but had not been signed. He prisoner

and submit the books weekly for his (Mr. Rose's ap-
proval. Mr. Rose had been ill for about three weeks in
the house, and it was during this time that the greater
part of the defalcations had taken place. Many sums
had been recrived lately and none entered in the book
(produced) after the 12th of August. The agreement re-
ferred to bad, the witness added, been taken from his own
locked desk, and be believed had been taken away by the
Prisoner. Mr. Davenport stated that his client was not
in possession of the document, a copy of which bad been
taken from him by the police when he was apprehended.
A packet found on the prisoner was then produced, and
the alleged copy was taken from it, and handed to Mr.
Rushton, who said it accorded with what the complainant
had stated, but his attention was called to the latter part,
by which it appeared that some other allowacce than that
before stated was to be made for certain services, or
" jobbing" in the trade. Only one case to the small
amount of lOs 6d was then brought against the prisoner
(which was not entered,) it being stated that in the other
cases the witnesses could not yet be procured. Mr. Rose,
who urged his case strongly against the prisoner, said that
he had gone round to all his customers, and had found
many receipts for moneys. Mr. Wardle under the cir-
cumstances applied for a remand ; and as he stated that at
least three of the cases could be proved to-morrow (th s
day) the prisoner was accordingly remanded for a day.
THE BRIDGEWATER GALLERY.—SORIE account of the
formation and dispersion of the Orleans Gallery has al-
ready been given. The Italian part of the collection had
been mortgaged for £40,000 to Harman's banking house,
when Mr. Brien, a celebrated collector and pictiiFe-

the life of this nobleman, the collection, added to one
formed. by himself when Earl Gower, was placed in the
house in Cleveland-row ; and the whole known then, and
for thirty years afterwards, as the Stafford Gallery, be•
came celebrated all over Europe. On the death of the
Marquis of Stafford, in 1833, his second son, Lord Francis
Leveson Gower, taking the surname of Egerton, inhe-
rited, under the will of his grand-uncle, the Bridgewater
property, including the collection of pictures formed by
the duke. The Stafford Gallery was thus divided : that
part of the collection which had been acquired by the
Marquis of Stafford fell to his eldest son, the present
Duke of Sutherland ; while the Bridgewater Collection,
properly so called, devolved to Lord Francis Egerton, and
has resumed its original appellation, being now known as
the Bridgewater Gallery.—Mra. Jameson.
