NORTIIERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.—The

half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this undertaking
was held on Thursday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street, at which the chairman of the company, Wm. Mar-
shall. Esq., presided. From the report it appeared that the
receipts for passengers and parcels for the last six

months wer

£6,760 7s. Bd. After deducting £3,906 debenture
interest, there would be a balance of £9,702 3s. 4d., out of
which the directors recommended a dividend at•the rate of 4
per cent. per annum on the paid-up-capital, or 18s. per
share, which would leave a balance to be carried forward—
namely, £1,276 7s. ld. The cost of the railway hitherto had
been £809,666 18s. 4d. A special report was also submitted,
recommending the line to be continued northward, and esti-
mates had been made for taking it on to Newport (10 miles
from Bishop's Stortford) for about £170,941, and to Cam-
bridge for £523,560. After a long discussion the report was

adopted, and several new directors were elected. The Hert-
ford and Ware branch was agreed to, but the project for car-
rying the line northward was adjourned for consideration,
when thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting
separated.

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—The half-yearly
meeting of the directors and shareholders took place on Fri-
day at the Euston Hotel, Euston-square. Mr. G. C. Glynn,
chairman of the board of directors, presided. The minutes
of the two last meetings having been confirmed, the chairman
said he regretted to announce a falling off in the receipts for
the last half year as compared with the preceding; but he
believed it might by fairly accounted for by the extraordinary
depression under which every branch of trade and manufac-
tures had been suffering. The company had also lost, during
the same period, the tolls previously paid by the Derby and
Junction Line, and he believed, taking all circumstances into
consideration, there was every reason to hope for the in-
creased and permanent prosperity of the undertaking. The
greatest falling off in the receipts was shown in the first class
passengers, and there could be no doubt that, during the
recent disturbances in the manufacturing districts, many of
the higher classes of society had been prevented from using
the line. There was also a falling off in the second class, but
not in so large a ratio. In the third class there had been a
considerable increase, and he felt much satisfaction in alluding
to this, as it showed that the interests of that class, for whose
use it was more especially designed, had bee❑ properly pro-

BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMJ'ANY.—The half-yearly meet-
ing, held on Thursday, at the London Tavern, was most
numerously attended, and deputations from Liverpool, Man-
- Leeds, and York, were present, with great strength
-- the future management of the company
, the present direction. The business of the day was opened
ay Mr. Harman, the chairman, who made a very active
speech, and, from the applause which it occasionally received,
it appeared' likely to produce a powerful effect in favour of
the present management. Among the causes which he as-
signed for the slow progress made in the traffic of the line
during the last half-year, were, the counter-attraction of the
Queen's visit to Scotland, and the disappointment which en-
sued when she did not visit Brighton, as was expected. These
points told rather weakly with the meeting, as it was felt that
after so much had been said on previous occasions about the
line not being absolutely a pleasure line,; it was strange that

..at, wt,. ,e we regard it as a cause of —less that
these doctrines have made small progress, if any, in Ireland,
we yet feel bound to testify to your lordship our increased
alarm at the introduction into these dioceses of a society for
the ostensible purpose of church architecture, in connexion
with one of a similar character in England—the Cambridge
Camden Society—the existence and proceedings of which
latter institution have too manifest and painful a connexion
with the errors and doctrines already referred to.

" That we have reason to btlieve the apprehension arising
from the introduction of such innovations amongst us,
through this institution, has already operated most unfavour-
ably, in impairing the efforts, and impeding the further pro-
gress, of that valuable society, the Church Accommodation,
to which we have already alluded; and our firm conviction
is, that the same evil efforts will be speedily and fatally felt,
in paralyzing the operations of our other diocesan insti-
tutions.

such mere contingencies should, in the opinion of the directors,
compromise the prosperity of the company. Referring to the
unsettled accounts between the Brighton and the South-Eas-
tern companies, Mr. Harman stated, that the difficulties
which Mr. Stevenson, the engineer of the South-Eastern
company, was endeavouring to throw in the way of their set-
tlement, would not avail, as the Brighton company were quite
ready to meet them with accounts which would substantiate
all that had been charged fos. After stating that about
£30,000 more would supply the wants of the " construction
account," and that the present revenue would admit of a
dividend of £1 per share, which the directors accordingly re-
commended, he declared that he and his colleagues left them-
selves to the meeting to point out their future course, as he
was prepared for a motion being brought forward respecting
their continuance in office. The meeting was then addressed
by the representatives of the Brighton shareholders of Liver-
pool, Leeds, and York, and these descanted most forcibly
upon the management of the railway, from its first commence-
ment to the present day, and the constant excesses occurring
in the estimates, when the directors, or their advisors, should
have been taught by experience the true position of their af-
fairs. The facts that these gentlemen adduced made the
deepest impression on the meeting, and turned the tide of
opinion completely against the directors. The chairman en-
deavoured to explain that the engineer was the only respon-
sible party; whereupon the shareholders retorted, that the
power of continuing the engineer was vested in the direction.
Mr. Parsons, the chairman of the committee of investigation,
declared himself in support of the motion which the deputa-
tions from the country had brought forward, as an amendment
to the report, viz., that the shareholders had no confidence
in the present direction. Having had the opportunity of in-
vestigating the accounts, he affirmed that the whole principle
of management was unsound from the foundation, which was
the grand point he wished to keep before the meeting. The
result of a very animated discussion o❑ the principles of rail-
way management, the oppointrnent of directors, their salaries
and patronage, was, that the want of confidence was carried
by a large majority. The announcement of the success of the
movement was followed by tremendous cheering. It was af-
terwards resolved, that, in the bill which is to be brought
into parliament in the present session, the number of direc-
tors shall be limited to 10 instead of 20, and that the shall all
be newly elected at the next half-yearly meeting. Seven va-
cancies in the present direction were then filled up, five, in-
cluding Mr. Parsons, being taken out of the body of share-
holders in the room, and the two directors re-elected being
Mr. Watson and Captain Beauclerk. The last gentleman
seems to owe his re-election to some very stringent remarks
on the endeavours he had long made in a minority to resist
the lavish expenditure of the company. A hope that he would
ultimately carry his point was, as he represented, the sole
cause of his consenting to remain in the direction till that day.
' The final business of the meeting was the declaration of the
' dividend of £1 per share, payable on the 15th March.—

" That, influenced by these considerations, we earnestly
and respectfully entreat of your lordship to take such steps,
by withdrawing your countenance from the Church Archi-

tecturc Society in these dioceses, or by any other means
which your better judgment may suggest, as will relieve our
minds, and those of our poorer brethren, from these doubts
and fears which at present harass and distress us, and thereby
enable us to act, as we desire to do, heart and hand with our
ministers, in endeavouring to promote the glory of God, and
the good of our fellow men."

The reply of the bishop is too long for insertion, but we
select the following extract relating to the Church Architec-
ture Society :

" For many weeks that society has been the object of false
and slanderous accusations, of insults and reviliugs, from
certain assailants, especially from one, who, masking himself
under a general designation, which he has disgraced by his
unclerical and unchristian conduct, under its protection has
scrupled not to villify and denounce the society in the face of
the public; and from others, who have vauntingly proclaimed
that it must and shall be dissolved. The essential question,
therefore, in my mind, is become one quite distinct from the
merits of the society itself. It is one of ecclesiasticai disci-
pline. It is a question, whether a bishop, in the discharge
of his office, is to have the liberty of following his own con-
scientious judgment, or to be placed under the dictatiou and
the ban of any of his clergy who may take it upon himself to
say—' This shall be, or this shall not be done ; or we will raise
the laity against the bishop.' This phrase, gentlemen and
brethren, is no figure of speech of mine ; this project is not
of my fiction or imagination. How far the present movement
may have arisen out of this notable and dutiful device, I
have not the means of judging; but thus circumstanced, I
am bound, by a sense of duty to the Church Architecture
Society, to yourselves, likewise, gentlemen and brethren, to
the diocese in general, to the church at large, and in all, to
the great Head and Guardian of the Church, not to suffer
my office to be thus depreciated, insulted, set at nought, and
trampled on by a subordinate minister."

SALT.—In the interior countries of Africa, the greatest of
all luxuries is salt. A child there will suck a piece of rock-
salt as if it were sugar. The poorer classes of the inhabitants
are, however, so very rarely indulged with this precious article,
that to say a man eats salt with his victuals, is the same as
saying he is a rich man. The long use of vegetable food
creates so painful a longing for salt, that no words can suffi-
ciently describe it.—Park's Travels.

Lady Rachel Russell, in her Letters, mentions that Dr.
Beveridge objected to read a brief in Canterbury Cathedral

THE LONDON CoAcH.—A beautiful sight it is—a fine,
well-appointed coach, of what we must now call the ancient
fashion, with its smart driver, brilliant harness, and thorough-
bred team. Then it is a spectacle pleasing to gods and men—
the knowing and instantaneous manner in which the grooms
perform their work in leading off the horses and putting
fresh ones to—the rapid diving for carpet bags and portman-
teaus into the various boots and luggage holes—the stepping
down or out (as the case may be) of the passengers—the tip
to the coachman—the touch of the hat in return—the re-
mounting of that functionary into his chair of honour--the
chick, chick ! with which he hints to the pawing grays he is
ready for a start ; and, finally, they rolloffinto dirn distance with
the splendid vehicle, watched by the crowd that have gathered
round it till it is lost from their sight. A steam-coach, with
its disgusting, sputtering, shapeless, lifeless engine, ought to
be ashamed of itself, and would probably blush for its ap-
pearance if it were not for the quantity of brass that goes to
its composition.—Blackwood.

MARRIAGE v. INSANITY.—Few people are aware how
much more insanity prevails among bachelors and unmarried
ladies than among the married of both soxes. We learn
from the examination of very many reports, that of every
Live of all lunatics sent to American hospitals, three are un-
married, and only two are married, and that almost all of
them are over twenty-one years old. On the other hand, it
is pretty certain that in all the community over twenty-one
years of age, there are more than three times as many in as
, out of wedlock. If this be the case then the unmarried are
more than four simes as liable to become insane as married
ppople. To make thiscmore certain Dr. Jarvis, of this town,
has written to some gentlemen in almost every town in Mas-
sachusetts, and in some towns in 'Connecticut, requesting
him to count on the list of voters in his town—the married,
the unmarried, and the widowers, and to give him informa-
tion of the number in each of these classes belonging to their
respective towns. We earnestly hope his correspondents
will be able and willing to give him an answer to these points,
and thus settle one very important principle in life—that mar-
riage is a great protective of society against the awful disor-
der of insanity.—Concord Freeman.

A LAND-SURVEYOR'S HORSE.—The best of architects
and land-surveyor's kept a horse, in whom the enemies, al-
ready mentioned more than once in these pages, pretended
to detect a fanciful resemblance to his master. Not in his
outward person, for he was a raw-boned, haggard horse, al.
ways on a much shorter allowance of corn than Mr. Peck-
sniff; but in his moral character, wherein, said they, he was
full of promise, but of no performance. He was always, in a
manner, going to go, but never going. When at his slowest
rate of travelling, he would sometimes lift up his legs so high,
and display such mighty action, that it was difficult to be-
lieve he was doing less than fourteen miles an hour; and he
was ever so perfectly satisfied with his own speed, and as
little disconcerted by the opportunities of comparing himself
with the fastest trotters, that the illusion was the more diffi-
cult of resistance. He was a kind of animal who infused into
the breasts of strangers a lively sense of hope, and possessed
all those who knew him better with grim despair. In
what respect, having these points of character, he might be
fairly likened to his master, that good man's slanderers only
can tell. But it is a melancholy truth, and a deplorable in-
stance of the uncharitableness of the world, that they made
the comparison.—Martin Chuzzlewit.

CAUSES OF CONSUMPTION.—MineraI dusts are exces-
sively destructive, giving rise to local irritation and tubercu-
lization in those who inhale them ; just as particles of quick-
silver are said to do when this mineral is passed down the
trachea of rabbits. Thus, the stone-masons of Edinburgh,
the needle-pointers of Redditch and its neighbourhood, the
dry-grinders of Sheffield, and the flint-cleavers at Berri in
France, as well as elsewhere, unless they leave off in time,
are destroyed at an early period. Some occupations are
preservative; butchers, who live in the open air, take abun-
dant, though not excessive exercise, and consume rich, nu-
tritious food, are almost all exempt from tubercles. The
piactice of keeping sitting-rooms darkened to save furniture,
is decidedly injurious. We are insufficiently clothed, espe-
cially in winter ; and in place of living in the free, open air,
grovel in the narrow and often sordid precincts of rooms and
houses. The consequence of all this, more especially in
large cities, is evident in the young. Depressing passions
are destructive; not so much, perhaps, by their direct influ-
ence, as by withdrawing attention from acts necessary to the
healthy maintenance of animal life. Laennec speaks of a
nunnery in Paris; the inmates of which, with few exceptions
—such was the austerity of the rule—were swept off by
phthisis twice or thrice within ten years. Despondency,
weariness of mind, and uncorrected sedentary pursuits, are
alike injurious.

THE ORIGIN OF "THREE TIMES THREE."—Amid the
enjoyments of the festive board, they recal to mind the friends
of other days; and, having first performed libations to the
gods, those best and purest of friends, drank to the health
and prosperity of former associates, now far removed by cir-
cumstances, and this they did not in the mixed beverage
which formed their habitual potations, but in pure wine.
There was something extremely delicate in this idea, for
tacitly it intimated, that their love placed the objects of it
almost on a level with their divinities, in whose honour, also,
on these occasions, a small portion of the wine was spilt as
libations upon the earth. The young, in whose hearts a
mistress held the first place, drank deeply in honour of their
beloved, sometimes equalling the number of cups to that of
the letters forming her name—which, if the custom prevailed
so early, would account for /Egisthos's being a sot. Some-
times, however, taking the hint from the number of the
Graces, they were satisfied with three goblets; but, when an

WrretteitAFT.—A most distressing case of superstition
occurred a few days since, by which a respectable young man,
a son of Mr. Cooper Elsden, of Soham, was near losing his
life. The facts were related by the young man himself, who
states that he left &ham a few days since for Thetford, in
the Isle of Ely, about three o'clock in the afternoon. Having
occasion to call at Stuntey, he proceeded by way of Ely, and
thence by footpath across the meadows. Darkness coming
on, and not being certain of the road, he made up to a light
in the stable of a small farm occupied by a man named Dent.
Here he found a young man, of whom he inquired the:way to
Thetford. The youth seemed greatly alarmed, but consented
to show him the road. I-hiying to pass the door of the house,
he saw a man in the act of nailing a horseshoe on the threshold.
The moment he saw him, the man—believing it was the witch
—rushed upon and struck him a violent blow with the ham-
mer he was using at the time. Fortunately it missed his head,
and descended on his shoulder. He then ran into his house
and called for his gun, threatening to put an end to the exist-
ence of the supposed author of his trouble. The feelings of a
young man who had lost his way in a lone place, suspected
of witchcraft ; children clinging round the father, and scream-
ing for fear of the witch ; the mother holding the father's arm,
imploring him not to shoot; the son calling out, " It's not
the witch, father, but a man"—expecting every moment to
be his last, can be better imagined than described. The young
man he first saw endeavoured to get him out of the way of
his infatuated father, saying he was sure he would kill him,
and related to him their misfortunes and sufferings under the
influence of witchcraft for some time past, saying that he him-
self had dreamed three successive nights that his father was
nailing a horse-shoe on the door, that the witch made her
appearance, and was shot, and that they had lost, through
witches, a cow and cafe, and their old mar, within the last
few days. Fortunately, the young man escaped to the road,
and reached Thetford in safety.
We vouch fur the truth of
the above, without exaggeration,
although one can scarcely
believe that in the year 1843, and within a mile of the colleges
and cathedral church of Ely, such superstition and ignorance
could prevail.—Cambridye Independent.
