In the House of Commons, on the l/ith inst. _aOW4 Lavnine moved for the correspondence between the Home Secretary and the South eastern KailwayCompany, with respect to the special train to tbe late fig tit for the champion ship. He severely denounced tho conduct of the company. Lord Palinerston protested against the ex aggerated observations of Lord Lavaine with respect to the parties who witnessed the fight Such matters were certainly matters of taste He made a humorous, and characteristic apol ogy on bebalt of those Who regarded prize fighting as n manly amusement, illustrative of the best qualities of the British race. Alter some debate, during which several members protested against the police being Called upon to help keep the peace, whilst ihe government, in that house encouraged those who violated it, the subject dropped. Thk Latest.— London, May in, tan. —Bell's Life, of this moriung, announce:, that a meet ing took place between Bayers aud Heenan, at that office yesterday, to discuss the means of terminating the dispute betweeu them, and a. to the possession ot the Champioirs belt. It was ultimately agreed that two new t.-lts. ex act counterparts ot the one so much coveted, should be made, the money for the purpose to be raised by public subscription.

House of Lords on the I .th. the Mar- S'oriniinby moved for the production » correspondence with British repre sentatives in Italy, relative to Garibaldi's ex pedition. The government promised to produce the dispatches. In the House of Commons, Mr. Gladstone withdrew his measure relative to newspaper postage, on the plea that Sir Rowland Hills health was such as to require six months leave of absence. Mr. Caldwell stated that the attention of the government had beeu called to the collec tion of money being made in Ireland for the use of the Pope, aad to enlistment for the Pa pal army. Such proceeding, were entirely irregular, aad steps would be taken to check them. Ea the Hoose of Commons, on the loth, Lord I. assail stated that Lord Cowley had 1 no information from the French gov t that France would claim lurther ial coin|H.nsation if Sardinian terri as extended by the pending uiuve to announced that government bad re nforinaiion from St. Petersburg as to c ot aSaus in Turkey, similar to what d under the head of " Russia and Tur in tl.ey had no information as tc the concentration of a army ou the Pi nth. A defalcation on a similar scale had b. u n discovered against the cashier of Pauky A (Jo.'s Bank, London, but no prosecution bitd taken place. Au influential deputation, headed by Mr. Miiuer Gibsou, watted upon _ ird I'almeistoii, to lay before him the plans ol a contemplated. telegraph io America, via Faroe Island and Ireland, and solicit the Government to dis pute!- vessels to take soundings and make a survey ot the route. Air. Croskey ami Col. Shaltner explained the nature of tke project, and several Arctic navigators urged the importance of the sur \ey. Lord Palmerstou requested the lull de tails in writing. Sir Cliarles Barry, the distinguished archi tect, is dead. Public me. tings had been held denouncing the Earl of Derby's threatened opposition to the paper duty. VRAM'S. The Czar's brother. Grand Dake Nichola?, had arrived at Paris to visit Napoleon. Count Montemoliii and brother had also ar rived at Paris. The Bank of France returns, brought by the Krere erroneous: the bullion really de 13&_WB. .vemment deposits decrease is XI, ferred from some of the Paris papers tie event of a Sicilian insurrection, le.idiig to ttieexteiision of the Sardinian King dom, the Emperor will likely demand com pensation tor a fresh extension of French ter ritory. The Paris correspondent of the London Herald says an ominous correspondence has commenced between the Cabinets of London and i'aris. Respecting this, he says, matters have seldom lieen in amorecriticai aspect, ami asserts that France, Russia, Aii-.triaa.id Spain were leagued together. The Paris correspondent of the X.ondon Times refers to the same subject. He says il is proposed that the two governments set their faces against intervention, whether from Aus tria, Piedmont or the Papal States, and let the Sicilians and Neapolitans fight it out. He says the relations between France and Englanda-e --quireaiich gentle band ling that tbe govern ment press were notified to use no strong lan guage against England. Ttie Paris Bourse was very fl:itajid agitated. Rentes had declined to GRtO. M. Thouvenel had issued the following dec laration for better preserving u> the districts of Chtiblais and Faucigny, the charuoter of neutrality stipulated by article ninety-two of the final act of Vienna. France consents that said districts shall remain without the line of ■eh customs, and shall form a separate .ial scene, under a special regulation, port that France bad offered pecunia luity to Switzerland was unfounded. a refuses to admit Piedmont to the proposed Conference, on the ground that Ca vour had declared that Piedmont intended to take no part in the dispute between France and Switzerland, resulting from the annexa tion. There was a continued concentration of the Papal troops at Guflio. It was slated that the date bad been fixed for a gradual evacuation of Rome by the French troops. The first detachment would leave shortly. The King of Naples had subscribed I,(M.KJ,ixkj scudi to the Papal loan. The Prussian Chamber of deputies had passed the government project lor a war cre dit— 315 against SL The altitude of Russia towards Turkey was attracting much attention, aud regarded as de cidedly menacing. The St. Petersburg Telegraph states that tho principal foreign ministers, excepting the Turkish, were recently convoked by Prince Gortschakott, who declared tbat the position of the Christians in Turkey had become so in tolerable that Riiisia was on .the point of ad dressing strong representations to the Porte in their favor, and hoped to obtain the sup port of other Powers. The Loudon Times says that Russia is med itating a second Meu.ehiko-f mission, and that England, while laboring io advance the interest, of Christians, cannot forget that she is pledged to advauce the interests of the Ot toman State. The journey of M. de Bred berg to Pari*, to replace KisselcfT, the Russian Ambassador, Ins brought about an understanding between France and Russia. Russia ir. said to have collected at Nuolaert'agreat numb, r of trans ports aud merchant steamers. HPKOARV. Viknna, May 17, 1800.—A dispatch from Pesth says: "An autograph letter from the Emperor will lie published to-morrow, allow ing constitutional superintendent, to assem ble a convention to discuss lhe question of aeudin* deputies to tbe Geueral Couh-rence, and make, proposition, for a synod. A free choice of superintendent, aud curates i. granted. Tbe trial, pending against Protes tant, are au.peuded. Paris, May 17, HxSO.—Tbe semi-official Le Pays contains tbe following ontirnutiic v of Garibaldi's success : "Theaccounts from Italy announce tbat Garibaldi', expedition devel oped itself with extraordinary rapidity. At present xuecesa upiieuis beyond question -— Garibaldi was c-ucen.ratiug tbe scattered limbs of insurrection, aud it was asserted that be bad captured the most important |io«itlo>ii. ou tbe island.

Jy.KiioM, May 17, Im*.,— The London Tlm.ee bus received ihe following luipoi taut dlspau h trout Naples. f RICHMOND. VA., THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1860. The state of affair, is precarious ; the King has requested foreign interference. Tbe dispatch from Italy created a bewilder iugelt'ecton the Paris Bourse, amounting al most to a panic. * It was reported in Pari, that General La monc.ere bad made a movement, to check which s.ixm Piedmont*** bad embarked at Ge neva. • APBIOA. Hates from the coast of Africa are to the 2 l.t ol April. Trade was brisk. The American gun-boat Mystic bad left La gore f.,r tbe South coast, with tbe mail. The United States frigate Constitution was at Madeira on tbe 4th of May. AUSTRALIA. A dispatch from Sydney, five days later re ports the suspension ot the large and old-es tabtlshed houses of Havid Jone. & Co.. and I hompson. Symonds A <.<,. Their liabilities are thought to amount to i. -250,000 sterling It was feared other bouses would follow. A VOVAIJBDOWN THE A MOOR— How th' fiut. oin Merchants Entertain th-ir Guests.— Though the wine continued to flow, 1 really hoped that the dinner was over. I could not now see much room for its continuance, and I was sure there could not he much more room with in the company. Finally, the Golovah rose and the dinner ended, and with it, as I sup posed, the drinking also : but I was mistaken. We adjourned to the cottee room, where tea and cone were both served ; the tea really de-r* lieious. the purest herb of China. I drank very freely of it, for I hoped that it would counteract the efrects of the wine. As soon as politeness would seem to justify, we rose to depart. In the meantime, the dining-room had been cleared of every vestige of the dinner ta bles and all, and was now occupied by groups in animated conversation. As soon as we entered the apartment, ser vants bearing trays loaded with glasses, foam inn with champagne, approached us, and the Golovah pressed n_ to take the parting glass. This it was idle to refuse, so we drank as we supposed, for the last time. Presently, I no ticed a pretty dense circle encompassing Pey ton, and in an instant he was seized by half a dozen stout, jolly merchants, and tossed up in the direction of the ceiling. Fortunately it was not a very low one, or else he must have gone through the roof. Down he came, how ever, into the hands of his tormentors, who sent him up again if anything higher than ever, tbe most uproarious mirth and laughter prevailing. My companion was not a small man. or a light one, but he was no more than a leather in tbe hands of theseportly Siberians. This sport is called iv Russia podkeedovut* or tossing up, and is considered a mark of great respect. General Mouravietl" told me, after our return, that he had i-odkeedovau per formed upon him in the same room. During tba performance i stood half-aghast, looking at the figure Peyton was cutting, a man six feet high and well-proportioned, go ing up and down like a trap-ball, tiis coat-tail flying sky-high, and his face as red as a brick. 1 was all the time consoling myself that they had administered thisextra touch of hospital ity to Peyton because they considered him the most worthy, and the best able to stand it, and I said to Beetsow, '• I hope one tossing for the American nation will be considered honor enough." He replied, 'Your turn will very likely come, too.'' After a while Peyton came down and stayed down. Servants again came around, ai.d'we had to drink champagne. I had just emptied my glass and placed it on the waiter, when, Without a moment', warning, I vi as seized and' up I went. Being much lighter than Peyton, and handled alter him by these stout, and now very jovial and merry fellows, I have a distinct recollection of loaehiag the ceiling. Hy coat tail certainly did, aad what I thought at first a piece of good fortune, now proved to be oth erwise; for, having taken Peyton's guage with regard to weight, they did not take into con sideration ray lightness, and I came near go ing through the top of the house. Up 1 went and down I came, only to go up again, until my frieuds were satisfied mat if I was not drunk before, my head would certainly swim vow. However, 1 was able to stand when 1 came to my feet, which was more than I cal culated upon when loasißg between the floor and ceiling. Of course, we had all to take another drink. By this time Peyton aad 1 w.-re working our way towards the door, in order to evacuate tin.- citadel of hospitality, and dually succeed ed in leaching our -leigli, which was standing near die entrance of tiie house; we had, how ever, to partake of tbe stirrup cup after we were seated: and thus ended one of tiie most extraordinary, and, barring tiie overflow of wine, one of the most agreeable dinners 1 ever partook of. Washington Gospip.—The letter writers from Washington give the following gossip of "high lift?" there ; An amusing incident occurred at Mrs. Blunt', reading at Willarus Concert Halt on Saturday eveuing, which caused much com ment. Two solas were placed at Ihe head ot the room on opposite sides sous to command .he whole hall. When the audience was as sembled, the President and his party walked in ami occupied one. They had scarcely been seated when Mr. Douglas and his party enter ed lrom the tide door and occupied the other. The rival roses thus sat eyeing each other with atlectionate interest throughout, and great ly to the edification of a fashionable audience.— Tiie court ities never buzzed on the Douglas side, and officials had a sudden insensibility to his presence who claim familiar terms on other occasions. Madame de Bodiaco, widow of Count de Bodi.co, formerly .Minister from liutsia to thi* Govei-tiineut, was married at noon to-day, te Capt. Sc-ott, of the British army. The cere mony was performed at St. John's Chuich, in Washington, by Key. Dr. Norwood, of Christ Church, in our city, and was witnessed by v large number of ttie friends of the parties. The bride was given away by the President of the United Stales. She waselegautly dressed in satin, with three heavy llounces of the finest lace, which we heard "a lady rriend say cost three thousand dollars. The bridegroom was in the full scarlet uniform appropriate to his rank in the army. They leave for iS'ew York in the early train this afternoon, eu route for Europe. Among the dignitarie. present we noticed several members of the di plomatic corps, Army aud Navy officers, S.u_ ator Crittenden and other members ol Con" gross, W. W. Corcoran, District Attorney On 1.1, aud a host of others. Mckdee in a Leuislatueu.—A territile tra gedy was enacted in the California Assembly, a few days before its adjournment. A member of the House, named John C. Hell, was shot ami stabbed to death, almost iv his- seal, by oue Dr. Stone. Stone was a lobby member, at tempting to procure the passage of a bill for division of thecounty represented by Hell,and to which tbe latter was opposed. Mr. Hell was in tho act ot consultation with another member beyond the barot the Assembly, while it was la session, wlien Stone came up, de nounced Hell as a liar, and immediately began -hooting and stabbing him. The unfortunate mau was carried away, and died two day. al ter. Stone was released on bail. As he is a rich man, the crime will go unpunished. The Assembly took no notice of the murder. Hell was from Ohio, and was unarmed. Stone is from Kentucky. Several circumstances show tbe act to have been premeditated. Thb Rbligious Am«ikmblii£B.—At Buffalo, on Monday, tbe proceedings of the 3lethodist Episcopal General Conference were renewed A motion was otTered that the vote on the Sla very question should be taken on Wednesday, but after considerable discussion the matter was indefinitely postponed. The Slavery re port afterwards came up. Dr. Craig, of Min nesota, and Dr. Hornet t, cf Missouri, spoke m favor ot the majority report. In the atter uoou session tbe Conference proceeded to the election ol officers. The Old School Assembly continued their session at Rochester on Mon day. The report on Ttieo'logical Seminaries was received, and a resolution adopted grain ing a tilth Professorship at Princeton. The Presbytery of Toledo aud the Synod of St. Paul were erected. Railroad Ac-Udknt.—A tonnage tram on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad run over and killed a free negro, named Heury Brown, who was lying on the track, Tuesday :if:ernoou, near Martitisburg, V-i. 11 appeared that there ba.! been a pic-nic at the Fuint of Hocks, near the scene of the accident, and Hi _> wo had been present, imbibing a considerable quantity of vbtskay ; bad become intoxicated, laid on the track, and hence tbe disaster. His head wa. severed from his body. He was supposed to have been one of the confederates or John lirown, having lived with him ou a form near Harper's Ferry. TBHTIBOKIAI.

Thb Fall of Wb. H. Sbwauu.—The nomi nation of Lincoln came witb terrible aston ishment to the friends of Seward, at Auburn. New York—his residence. Its effect i. told as follows, in the Auburn Democrat: The result of the recent Convention at Chi cago, has verified the old adage that "repub lics are ungrateful." The friend, of Go vernor Seward, in this city, had received dl.nt.hes from the most prominent men in the Conven tion, which rendered his nomination certain on the third ballot: and so con Aden t. wer* they of success, that on Friday morning ar rangements were perfected for a grand cele bration as soon as the event was announced by telegraph. A cannon was taken from the Armory and planted ia the Park, the cannon eers were stationed at their post*, the Are lighted, the ammunition ready, and all wait ing for the signal to make the city and coun. ty echo to the joyful news. Sundry baskets Of eh .uipajrne were carted to one of our ho tels, preparatory to a general salute of small arms ia the celebration. The result of tbe first ballot was received by Gov. Seward, who was at his residence, in this city. It was fa vorable. Loud shouts rent the air, and the zealous adherents of the "Irrepressible" champion were with difficulty restrained from letting "the kettle to the trumpet speak: the trumpet to the cannoneer without, the can non to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth," in proclamation of the joyful tidings. The Governor's grounds were thronged with his friends, eager for the dispatch which should announce bis nomination. Along the wires flashed the result. Lincoln was nom inated. The messenger arrived at the Gov enor's gate so pale, trembling and speechless with agony, that even the lions that guard fhe Governor's mansion were moved to tears Silently an.l sadly the Doctor deffvereil the message. His Woe-begoae face told that tbe "Defender of the Rights of Man" was sacri ficed on the altar of expediency—sacrificed for Abraham Lincoln, a bar-room politician, who compared with Gov. Seward, is as 'satyr to a Hyjierion." The house of joy was turned to the house of mourning Meanwhile the can noneers were waiting patiently for the signal. The Doctor approached them—his face as long as one of the rails that "Honest Abe Lincoln" used to split—and ordered the cannon back to thearmory. He ••would not fire for a democrat ic victory," and was bo little a soldier thai he could not see the utility of firing at a funeral. The order was obeyed. In funeral procession the faithful nand marched to the armory ( through bye streets), deposited the cannon— and dispersed. Woe unutterable filled the hearts of the faithful followers, and we waited anxiously for the Advertiser, in the hope that ir would pour the oil of consolation into the bleeding hearts of the mourners. It came :it said :— "Hy reference to our telegraphdu-patch it will be seen that Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, was on the third ballot nominated tor Presi dent. We have no time nor heart for comm ent." The streets were soon after deserted ; the mourners retired, whether to swear or pray we are not informed. A few time-servers tiu.raheil for "honest old Aoe Lincoln," but their voices were drowned in me universal wail of woe. Memokiai. to Viuuimanm.—An interesting ceremony took place Monday, near Koxbo rough, Pa. The occasion was the inaugura tion of a monument to the Virginians slain at Wood's barn in 1777. The scene was witness ed by the presence of about five thousand spectator., including several companies of military, with splendid music. The Philadel phia Ledger says : Horatio Gates Jones delivered theorattoii. In it he referred to the men to whose memory the monument was erected. While the American army was at Valley Forge, a corps of observa tion was sent out to reconnoitre. A party of Lees Virginia troopers were sent to Roxbo rot-gh. and they sought shelter at the house of Mr. Wood. They were told of the danger from the British, then stationed at Philadelphia, hut they paid no heed, and ihey were put into the barn. In ttie still hour of the night a par ty of tbe British attacked them, led on by a Tory well acquainted with the locality, and the greater portion were massacred. No quar ters were (riven, arid alter murdering the men, the barn was tired. The orater closed his ora tion with au earnest appeal to his hearer, to stand by the Constitution and Union. Hon. Win. H. ite.d followed with a patriotic address, which elicited the hearty applause of ttie as-embiace. M.ij.-r Charles Biilill. also addressed the multitude,and,referring to the campaign in Mexico, he said that the men of the Sflnth had ever stood .boulder to shoulder wiih the troops from the North. The speaker reliid upon the volunteer soldiery of the country as its best protection, and he urged every young man to enrol himself iv a military company. The Scott Legion, which had been detailed as a firing party, closed tha ceremonies by firing three volleys. Des-i ruction ok a Railroad Train by Two Miscreants.—A correspondent of the Traveller writes from Springfield, Illinois under date of May l.th, giving the following description of a scene he witnessed near that place: "Eighty-eight miles from Chicago is Spring Creek. There we passed a -wrecked engine, tender and three cars, tumbled down the em bankment and made into old iron aud oven wood. Those who do not believe in the de pravity of the human trerirt will please listen to the story. A conductor put two hard-look ing fellows from the traiu the week previous. They swore revenge, and on the night ol tl.e 17th stole a crowbar from thp company, re moved a rail, with the intention of precipi tating the tram into the creek, and then lay down iv the woods to behold, with fiendish delight, ihe fatal plunge. On came the train in the darkness, and in an instant all was a wreck. Strange to say, though there were sixty persons on board—though the cars were broken almost beyond the possibility of re pair, no one was injured. The miscreants rushed out to obtain plunder, but were disap pointed, and subsequently found themselves in the hands of the officers of justice." A Prince's Car.— A special car for the Priuce of Wales, la being built at the work shop of the Great Western Railway, in Mon treal. The Chronicle, describing this recep tacle for the future King of England, says: In its size and outward appearance, the car will be similar to an ordinary first-class car, except in its pßiiitiiij., a part of which will lie (he Prince ot Wales'arms, and some beauti ful panneling. The principal feature of the insideis the spacious salons, tweut v-flve feet long by > feet wide. The sides, end aud parti tion of the room are richly ornamented with pedestal, cornice, pilaster and entablature complete. The windows are surmounted by a silk upholstery panel and hung with dra pery. Over the door at each end of the salon is placed the Prince of Wales' cornet and feathers, carved in wood. With this as its ceutre runs a fluted silk panuel. in shape like an extended fan, while in place of windows two large mirrors will be suspended each side of the doorway. The furniture will be con structed of blister or birds eye maple: the sofas and chairs are of thestyle of Louis XIV. and XV. INext to the salon, on either side of the car, is the dressing room and wash room, which will be fitted up with every regard to comfort aud convenience. Ai the other end of the car is the ante-chamber, fourteen feet long. This room will bo plainer than the principal salon, but by no means deficient iv elegance and taste. New York Items.—A tettar from N. York Monday, furnishes tbe loltowiug items ; *> The Provisional Bishop ot the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Potter, is about to set out forEereae for the benefit ot bis health. In his absence, Episcopal acts will be performed by Bishop Whituiighuin. of Marylaud, lie Lacy, of Western New York, aud Chase, of New Hamp shire. Lucius 11.

Oi the desk occupied by oeceased was found a bit of paper, folded up, r.ud containing a few spears of grass. Ou lhe paper was written the fol lowing, in a neat feminine baud: "From her dear grave. For Lucius." Thi. grass i» sup posed to have been picked from the grave of a dear departed female friend, aud forwarded to him from the country. Anguish of mind, con sequent upon the reception of the package, probably, prompted him lo terminate uu earthly existence.

To-day ba. been one of those delightful days which it wonld be tbe pride andttea.nre of a novelist to describe, and as a holiday occasion Has been more generally observed than i. cu. toraary here. Numerous Ashing parties wend ed their wsy both up and down tbe rfver.— Many of them after becoming tired or pisca torial sport, which Is quite an easy matter here, where an angler gets but two bites and a nibble in twenty-four hour., discarded their rod. and participated in a rural repast which bad been specially served up for tbe occasion. r*ic-nic parties, were also numerous; many of them left the city at an early hour in the morning, and betook themselves to some or tbe many shady groves which bedeck the mountain slope, round about the city. Police matters have been flourishing all day. Whiskey going upbringing it. victims down. The grand reception-room for these subjects, in the upper story of the old crank-sided, weather-beaten Market-House, sometime, called a cage, is now filled to its utmost capacity—showing a greater increase iv thi. department of trade than any other. Wool dridge and Edniond ion. ibe parties referred to in communication of yesterday as bavingbeen arrested for disorderly conduct and attempt to take the life of a courtezan in a house on 1-Jth street, were before the Mayor this morning. The former bad a partial examina tion, and was convictedon the charge of shoot in i with int .it to kill. The latter was fined *> for disorderly conduct on the Sabbath.— Wooldridge will probably have to board at goverument expense for some time, as this is his second attempt to take life by shooting within the past two weeks, he having shot at a man named Bantou, having little or no pro vocation for so doing. The official returns from the election in Am herst county, show that A. C. Harrison is elected Sheriff by 570 majority. J. P. Cole man, for Commonwealth's Attorney, ha. a majority of -'-.7. The contest for the latter of lice was quite spirited. ._*• ,ri!il «f J- V. Duncan, for killing G. W. Kaine last week, was commenced at Abing don to-day. Public feeling is represented as beiug very much against lhe perpetrator ot so foul a deed. The wife of the prisoner is at her father's late residence in Goodson, it is said in an almost distracted condition. On the arrest of her husband, she walked the dis tance of three miles, through the mud, cleav ing to the misguided man, who bad been tbe author of so much miseiv. o X Lynchburg, Va., May :jo.

At Abingdon, last Monday, J. V. Duncan was brought before the Court aud scut on to June Coart for trial. No witnesses were ex amined, although several were present. Pub lic feeling is represented to be so strong against him that it is thought, in case the affair was to lie heard, that be woald stand a poor chance to get a trial before a jury, as it is thought the public would take the matter iv iheir own hands. o. K. Stagnation in thk Boston Boot and Sbob Makkbt.—The Boston Reporter says : " The trade is perfectly stagnant in the city, hardly a buyer is :o be tjund, and the manu facturer? are working slowly to till an occa sional order ;ao improvement can be expect ed beiore the Ist of July, when buyers from the South and West will commence purchas ing stocks of fall goods. We do not anticipate a very large demand for the tall trade, and if the prices of inater.nl continue up to the pre sent figure, as they probably will, or a large number of tanners be ruined, the manufac turers must make up their minds to get better prices for then- goods or close up their shops." Fatal Accident.—Harriet Long, a girl of 18 years, was fatally burned in Troy last Mon day by the explosion ol a Said lamp, which she undertook to till while lighted. The lamp fell from ber hand to the Moor, where it ignit ed her dre.-:-, and before the flames were extin guished the poor girt wa* so badly burned about the lower part of the body thatshe died the next day How Si_\\*AKi> was Dk_-katkt).—The expo sure ut the treachery by which Mr. Seward was defeated at Chicago is now complete.

LOCAL MATTERS. Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Kail road Company.— The twenty-seventh annual meeting of tbe stockholders of tbis company was held at tbeir otßcn in this city yesterday. After the proxies bad been examined, and a quorum was found to be prewar, tbe Presi dent and Directors submitted tbeir ansae! re port, from wbich we cull the following facts: The income of tbe company for tbe past year was S^,-to «M, (being *.V*-S«7 more thaa tbe previous year,) and the whole expanses of tbe year, including extraordinary,«l3s,7.l.flu, (being *3,*93.16 less than the previous year.) Among these last were a new brick engine house and turn-table at Mil ford Depot, a new depot at Guiney'a, and a new brides at Acco keek Creek. Deducting expense, or evory de scription from the grots income or the year, leaves a balance or «t.i-»,21«.3l or net profit, which has been applied, arter payment of In terest and arrearages or the same, and dividend on guaranteed stock, to tbe extension or the heavy rail between tbe Rapahinuock and Po tomac, and to the payment of tbat portion of ihe debt maturing in London in tStiO of wbich tbe owners desired paymeut. Of the debt due in London in 1,=«0, $41,417.70 only is unpaid, a large portion of which has beeu remitted. The Board of Directors may. il is believed, safely recommend the payment of money dividends on the lst of November next. On and after that date they see no rea son to doubt that dividends of not less than eight per cent, per annum will he regularly made to th. Stockholders, semi-annually, in money. The Board of Directors are gratified to be able to report to the Stockholders, that a de cision in their favor was made by the Court of Appeals, in the month of February.

The ordinary current expenses during the same time amount t0•67,024.10, 0T99JT799 less (han the proportion for theprevious'year" and only 14 _ per cent, of tho income of this year. The Company, besides defraying the ordina ry expenses of Ita regular business, and others not s trie'ly chargeable to this year's operation, consisting of considerable additions to the real estate, and other property of the compa ny, and putting the Manchester and Peters burg turnpike in complete repair, after pay ing the interest on its funded debt and two semi-annual dividends, have discharged &;&, --133.A2 of the principal of it.-, funded debt due last July. Leaving of that debt only OtkrA un paid, because uncalled for, and leaving a bal ance of rash on hand, on the ..Ist March, of 11 (1038.49. The President adds, in connection with the above statements, •• Theeuoouragement which these facts afford to confidence in the prosperity of the company,derives further confirmation from tbe consideration that the increase in its income results from no unusual or transient causes, nor is cotitiued to any particnlar part of its business; but consists of a gradual, though steady, increase iv every partot its business. The Superintendent gives a detailed state, ment of all the operations and of such incon siderable acci.ien ts as have occurred during the year, and concludes hy stating that no indi vidual has been in the slightest degree injured by any of the accidents, or in the ordinary operation of the whole eleven mouths.

The other parties, believed to be •.*?.! bales, bad been removed or stored without being weighed.
