THE BIRKENHEAD, CHESTER, AND NORTH WALES RAILWAY COMPANY.—On Tuesday a special meeting of the shareholders of the Birkenhead, Chester, and North Wales Railway was held at 6, Old Jewry, London, Mr Alexander Young in the chair.
The Chairman explained that they had been called together for the purpose of assenting to the bill to be promoted during the present session for the abandonment of a measure passed in 1873 for the construction of a line of railway to connect Birken- head and Chester with the North Wales coalfields.
The length of the line was to be 33 miles, with a bridge across the Dee, and the total capital was fixed at £840,000, with authority to the directors to borrow on mortgage Those who knew the district believed when the bill was first promoted that the line would prove a paying concern, and be advantageous to the public; but as only a small portion of the necessary capital had been raised, and as the funds of the company were consequently insufficient to commence the works, it was deemed expedient to abandon the undertaking altogether.
Mr Atkinson (of Ashurst, Morris, and Co.) stated that according to the bill the abandonment of the line would not prejudice the right of the owners or occupiers of any land to receive compensation for damage occasioned by the work of surveying or taking levels, and conpensation would also be allowed for non-completion of the right to purchase lands, &c.
Sir Leopold Heath then moved "That the Birkenhead, Chester, and North Wales (Abandonment) Bill, which has been submitted to this meeting, be approved of by the company." Mr William Morris seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted and a meeting of the board was afterwards held to give due effect to the resolution of the shareholders

Petty Sessions and Annual Licensing Meeting, March 2, Present - Sir Leopold Heath (in the chair), A.Powell Esq., L.M.Rate Esq., and Gordon-Clark Esq.
Licensing Business - This was the annual licensing meeting, the business connected with which was taken first by the Bench.
The Rose and Crown, Dorking - Mr Superintendent Lambert, in answer to the Bench, said he had no remarks to make upon any house in the district in reference to the renewals, except the Rose and Crown, Dorking. The landlord, William Underwood, had been twice summoned for keeping his house open during prohibited hours, but both cases were dismissed. The premises was the resort of all known thieves and bad characters in the place, and on the 29th November last a man named William Hampshire was robbed of his watch there. On another occasion, between three and four hundred weight of lead was stolen from Mr Putman's lime work, Dorking, and subsequently a person named Howick, a constant visitor to the house was apprehended, and charged with stealing the property. It came out in evidence that a portion of the lead was secreted upon the premises. - - - - The whole of the other licenses were also renewed, the total comprising 48 public-houses, 26 beerhouses, and four wine licenses. The ordinary business of the Petty Sessions was then proceeded with, the following cases being disposed of:-
Not Sufficient Proof. - Frederick King, labourer, of Holmwood, Dorking, was summoned for trespassing on a certain piece of land in the possession and occupation of the Duke of Norfolk, in pursuit of game, in the parish of Capel - - - The Chairman: You have only proved that the defendant was on the common - where everybody may be, you know - with two dogs, and that you saw one of them catch a rabbit. I think you must go a little further to prove that he was in pursuit of game. - In ansewr to the Bench, Mr. Superintendent Lamber said the defendant had once previously been convicted - in April 1877, for using a gun for the purpose of taking pheasants. - The Chairman said the Bench considered there was not sufficient evidence to convict on the present occasion, and the case would, therefore be dismissed.
Assault Case - Charles Adridge, of Henfold, Capel, labourer, was charged with assaulting and beating Ellen Anne Grisdale Turner, single woman, on the 23rd Feb. - Defendant pleaded guilty. - Complainant stated that she lived with her father, John Turner, the landlord of the White Hart, Capel. - - -
David Wenham, potteryman at the brickyard, Capel, was then charged with assaulting Albert Edward Turner (son of the landlord of the White Hart), at the same time and place - Defendant said he could not deny striking the boy - Complainant stated that after Aldridge had struck his sister, Wenham came to the door where witness was standing, - - - -

Football - At the Oval, Kennington, on Saturday afternoon, the Old Harrovians were opposed to the Engineers Football Club to decide who should meet the Wanderers on Saturday afternoon next, and carry off the honours at this popular games for 1878.
Both tides were ably represented, and one of the finest matches that could he witnessed rewarded the spectators. Old Harrovians were represented as follows : R. de C. Welch (captain) and A. W. Welch (back.), B. G. Jarrett and C. Macan (half-backs), J. Lowis and W. B. Paton (right), H. S. Bevington and C. Colbeck (left), M. P. Betts and H. T. Prior (centres), E. Bowen (goal).
The Engineers' team : Lieutenant R. S. Hedley (cap tain) and C. Barker (centres), H. Barnet and W. Lindsay (left), O. Ruck and G. G. Bond (right), C. Mayne and F. Heath (half -backs), W. Morris and J. B. Cowan (backs), and L. B. Friend (goal).
Harrow won the toss and chose the gasometer side, Hedley kicking off at 4.30 p.m. With varying fortune the game was carried on till 10 minutes past four, when Prior, biding his time, cleverly passed the ball through the Engineers' goal; one for Harrow.
At half time ends were changed, but the onslaught of the Harrovians was fairly met, and after the contest had been carried on from goal to goal with varying success Barnett kicked through cleverly, and made a goal for the Engineers.
The game was equal until Mayne by judicious play won a sreond goal for the Engineers at 4.50. Harrow played with unabated vigour until time had expired, but without avail, and the Royal Engineers have now to meet the Wanderers on Saturday next and decide the issue.

FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION CHALLENGE CUP (FINAL TIE)
Those two great football communities playing the "dribbling" game, known as the Wanderers and Royal Engineers' Club, met at Kennington Oval on Saturday afternoon, to play the tie for the Cup, which has been contended for annually since 1872.
The stipulations were that the trophy should be won three years in succession before becoming the actual property of any one club, and as the Wanderers had on the two previous occasions more than ordinary interest was evinced on this occasion. The first goal was scored by the Wanderers, but shortly after the Engineers equalised matters, though before the change of ends their opponents had obtained one goal more.
After this the Wanderers had much the best of the battle; but ere they had again scored, the Engineers had again sent the ball between the posts. The goal, however, was disallowed on an appeal of off aide.
Presently the leading club were again aucceeslnl, but although they took the initiative for the remainder of the time, no other goal was obtained, the Wanderers remaining masters of the situation by three goals to one. The Wanderers being the winners offered to return the cup to the Football Association, but the committee decided on not accepting their kind offer, and resolved to give another challenge cup next season.

- - - The Bench ordered the charge to be read over to the prisoner, the usual caution was administered to him, and he then pleaded guilty, throwing himself on the mercy of the Court. - Sir Leopold Heath said that, under the circumstances mentioned by Mr Wood, the Magistrates thought the justice of the case would be answered by their dealing with the charge in the more lenient way allowed by the Criminal Justices' Act, instead of sending it for trial at the sessions. The offence of which the prisoner was guilty was of a very serious character, and they felt that they would not be doing their duty if they did not impose upon him the full penalty. The sentence of the Court, therefore, was that he be imprisoned for six months. - Prisoner, who seemd to feel his position acutely, was then removed.

The charge against the late secretary of the Water Company.
On Saturday last, before Sir Leopold Heath and E. Kerrich, Esq., Edward Gumbrill, the late secretary of the Water Company, was brought up on remand from the previous Tuesday, charged with embezzling the sum of £275, moneys received by him on account of the said company, and not accounted for by him - Mr Hubert Wood, of Reigate and London prosecuted.
The evidence taken at the previous hearing having been read over and confirmed, Mr Wood addressed their Worships. He remarked that, appearing as he did no behalf of the company, he threw out a suggestion last Tuesday that, as this was the first offence against the prisoner, who was over 60 years of age, had hitherto borne a good character, and who was formerly a tradesman in the town, he threw out a suggestion that the case was one which might be dealt with under the Criminal Justices' Act. Of course, this was entirely in the discretion of the Bench, and if the prisoner felt that he had no answer to the charge he would of course, plead guilty, or perhaps the magistrates would deem it too serious a matter to deal with summarily. The company did not wish to press the case harshly, and would themselves prefer that it should be disposed of at once, that the prisoner should be dealt with as leniently as the Bench thought fit in the interests of justice. - -- continues - - -

St. Saviour's Church, Talke
Stone Laying, Yesterday.
The interesting ceremony of laying tbe foundation stone of the new Church of St. Saviour, at the Hollins, Cross Heath, Talke, was performed yesterday, in the presence of large and fashionable assemblage.
Some years ago, consequence of the increasing population of this part of the parish of Talke, mostly through the extension of mining operations, which brought to the neighbourhood large numbers of the labouring classes from other large centres of industry, a mission church was built to accommodate 234 persons, and, since that time, so extended has the work of the church become, that for a long while past the iron church then erected has been inadequate to meet the growing demands the church people of the village.
Therefore, several influential members of the congregation, seeing that the extension of tbe church was inevitable, at once set to work to set on foot a scheme for erecting a new and commodious edifice, which should more than meet their present wants.
The movement was no sooner made known to the ladies of Wood than, with their accustomed generosity, a large donation was offered as impetus to the work, in addition to the site for the church, which had previously been given the late Mrs. Marsh Caldwell. Shortly after this step, plans were prepared by Mr, Hunt, London, for a church accommodate over 600 persons, the length being 103 ft. and the width 55ft., at an estimated cost of .£4,000.
The plans bieng approved, the work of erection was entrusted to Mr. Booth, builder, Kidsgrove. Towards the cost of erection, the ladies of Linley Wood have contributed £650, and joined others in the guarantee of a £1,000 to be subscribed for, and Sir Smith Child, Bart., has also subscribed £100.
Amongst tho«e present the laying of the stone were: Archdeacon Sir Lovelace Bart., and Miss Stamer, Canon Clayton, Sir Smith Child, Bart., and Lady Child, the Misses Marsh-Caldwell (Linley Wood), Revs. M. W. McHutchin (vicar), W. A. Wickham (curate), W. Sneyd (Keele), O. W. Steele (Wolstanton), O. Dobree (Goldenhill), W. Wilbraham (late vicar of Audley), W. Hutchinson, J. W. Pedder, etc.
The stone was laid by the Vicar (representing the clergy), Miss Marsh Caldwell (representing the donor of the land), Mr. J. Gator (representing the churchwardens), and Mr. W. Cope (representing the congregation). The Venerable Archdeacon conducted the service, and delivered an address. In the evening tea was provided a tent at Linley Wood, and afterwards an Open-air service was held on the lawn, in front of the hall, when the Rev. Archeadon preached.— (A full report will appear in our weekly edition.)

Imperial Credit Company
The 15th half-yearly meeting of the above company was held at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon St, yesterday—Mr. William Tipping in the chair. The report stated that, including the sum of £5,874 excess of reserved dividends, also premiums and interest on special advances, the net profit for the half year ended 30th June, 1878, amounted to £26,682, which, added to the sum of £13.637 brought from the previous half year, made a total of £39,719.
The directors deemed it right on that occasion, in pursuance of the powers contained in the articles of association, to carry £10,000 to a reserved fund, and out of the balance they recommended the declaration cf the usual dividend of 6 per cent, per annum on the share capital of £437,535, which would absorb £13,126. They also recommended a payment in respect of the 52,585 surplus certificates of 6s. per certificate, which would absorb a further sum of £15,775. Those two payments would amount to £28,901, leaving £817 to be carried to next half year, subject to the payment of income tax. The directors considered that if necessary they could within the current financial year, without material sacrifice, realise from the improved assets a sum of about £500,000, so that in the event of the shareholders desiring to have the capital returned arrangements would have to be made accordingly. - - -
Sir Leopold Heath briefly seconded the adoption of the report. Colonel Johnson, as a certificate-holder, objected to the sum of £10,000 being placed to the reserve fund, as being surplus profits, and as such was the property of the certificate-holders.
Mr. Elliott said that be did not agree with the last speaker, and considered that the placing of the proposed amount to the reserve was the right course to pursue.
.After some discussion it was agreed that; the sum of £10,000 proposed to be placed to the reserve fund should be distributed in the way of increased dividend on the certificates. - - -

Cornish Railways
l observe today’s paper a Parliamentary notice for abandonment of East Cornwall Railway, and, in common with many others to whom I have spoken on the subject, I regret exceedingly that Cornish landowners have not been sufficiently alive to the immense increase in value of their properties which would accrue from the construction of railway. A few years ago Lord Portsmouth, Sir Leopold Heath, Sir Thomas Dakin, and others visited principal towns of Cornwall, and a system of railways on the narrow gauge was sketched out which would have completely supplied the wants of the district; there were three in number, namely - - -
I will not now trespass further your space, but will reserve what I have written the detail working of this plan until some wealthy landowner or authorised agent shall write you and encourage by his approval and promise of support. I may, however, add that, having mentioned the plan to two titled landowners, tbe one offered, as a free gift, £l,000 and other £5,000 to aid in carrying a line through Cornwall. Surely there must forty-eight others who could do same.—Yours sincerely, LEX.
