preference dividends of £ 12 , 728 16 s , and a dividend of 3 s . per share on the original shares . The rerv « . t was adopted . i ' ' The general meeting of the ¦ Buffalo and Lain . Huron Eaihyay Company took place on Wednesday The report was not so favourable as was expected owing to the commercial stagnation produced W the failure of the crops in 1858 . The traffic-of the half-year , from all sources , amounted to £ 32 , 840 10 s . 4 d . being an excess of £ 7 , 028 over the previous half year , and £ 4 , 063 over the correspond ing period of 1858 ; but this hnd arisen principally from the opening of an additional 47 miles . The report was adopted .
It appeared from the report of the Bahia and San Franciso Railway Company , at the meeting on Wednesday , that the past year had been principally occupied in making the necessary preparations for establishing the undertaking . The accounts showed a total sum received of £ 270 , 000 , and the expenditure was . £ 234 , 170 12 s . 4 d . leaving a balance of £ 35 , 829 7 s . 8 d . in favour of the company . The report was adopted . The weekly traffic return of the Groat Western Railway of Canada , just received , shows a decrease of 3 , 395 Z . sterling .
The London and South Western Railway Company having undertaken to work the Isle of Wight Railway , when completed , two members of their board ^—viz .. Captain C . E . Mangles , M . l \ , and Mr .

East Suffolk Railway.—The Earl Of Stradb...
East Suffolk Railway . —The Earl of Stradbroke , the chairman of the company , has published a letter in which he observes , that unless . tins lineis made available for traffic on or before Moncla } 1 " , the 2 nd of May , it ; will be desirable to call a meeting of shareholders and the public generally at Ipswich to ascertain who really is to blame . Toulon and Marseilles . —The works' of this railway have been pushed forward so actively that it is expected the line will be ready for traffic at the beginning of May . A train of several waggons went through , the other day , from end to end .
Speed ok Railways . —The following is said to be a correct calculation of the speed in a given time on the railways of different countries : —" England , raa ' n speed , 30 , express , 60 ; maximum , 82 . Germany , main speed , 3 G , express , 58 ; maximum , 70 . United States , main speqd , 40 ; express , 8 G -, maximum , 100 . France , main speed , 40 ; express , 7 : 2 ; maximum , 86 . It should be borne in nmnl that in the United States there are lines of the length , of S , 800 miles , the stations on which are at great distances from each other . Railway Directors and the Railway Association . —Complaints have been laid before the Kentish magistrates respecting facilities afforded by the Soutli-Eastcrn Company for the conveyance ot .
prize-fighters and their ' attendant mobs , and a promise has been made on behalf of the company that the evil shall be provided ng ^ mst . Me anwhile , the disgraceful fight between the Briyhton niul boutn-Western , which enn yield no other results than those of damaging the property of hundreds ot fumilics and setting the demoralising example of blind ana destructive antagonism , where only there should be rational competition iuul a reliance upon tlie law , still continues without tlio slightest intorposition on the part of the shareholders , who , possessing tho power to prevent it ,. mnst cither do so , or bo regarded ns its abettors .
