Kerchner, Esq. , called the meeting to order, and upon his motion Mr. Donald McRae was called to the chair and Messrs. J. C. Mann and W. H. Bernard were re quested to act as Secretaries. The Chair man,' in a few pertinent remarks, explained the object of the meeting. Upon the conclusion of his remarks Gen. Stuart was called , upon to explain tthe plans, resources, etc, of the corporation which he represented.' He referred in the outset to what he considered the ruinous distinction between local - and through freight; and urged the importance of adopt ing the narrow-guage, which he considered much cheaper and effective. He adverted to the fact that stock had already been sub scribed in Onslow and Jones counties, and submitted the proposition that within one -week after the sum of . $50,000 had been subscribed in this county the . engineers - should be on the ground, and when the amount , had been swelled to $100,000 he pledged that in one week thereafter the work of building the road "Northward from this1'city would be commenced. ' He stated, in reference to the matter of bonds, that it had been decided to issue them in small amounts, and make them payable in lands belonging to the company, which they may acquire by dona tion or purchase. He remarked that the object of the company is also to influence immigration, and he ventured the predic tion that if three or four- thousand dollars per mile could be raised . that they, would retire all their bonds within thirty years. He discoursed at length on the difference In cost between the broad and narrow guage, showing the many advantages possessed by the latter, especially as to its cheapness. In conclusion, he stated that he was will ing to give this county the control of its road until the line was completed, giving the stockholders here the benefit of its earn ings along the Sound route probably for a year or two. , .... Alter the conclusion of his remarks Maj. Engelhard offered the following, which was adopted: - : 4 f ..

Reminiscences and Impressions The " Lecture of Bishop Atkinson Last NlEht at the Y. IK. G. A. Ilall. ' ' The rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association were comfortably filled last evening by an intelligent audience which had assembled to hear the lecture that Right Rev. Bishop Atkinson had consented to de liver before the Association on "Reminis cences of Some of the Eminent Men Seen and Heard, and Remarkable Buildings Vis ited in England." The learned lecturer gave a rapid, but clear and vivid portraiture of Derby (who was Premier .at the" time of his' visit), Russell, Gladstone, Disraeli, Bishops Winchester and Peterborough, and John Bright the leading orators and states men of Great Britain in the present age Lord Derby he regarded as almost a model statesman ' and - an orator of fine abilities. ' Mr. Gladstone also com manded his admiration for his many intellectual gifts, his impassioned na ture and his noble moral stature. Russell and Bright were dismissed with slight un favorable comment The views of the lat ter were briefly held to be unsound, radical and pernicious. Gladstone and Disraeli were eompared. Gladstone was the man of universal culture, profound, fond of inves tigation even to excess, quick, generous, sincere but apt to be led into embracing new theories constantly by the ardor of his nature and the peculiar, catholic cast of his intellect The great Israelite on the other hand was nimble, subtle, brilliant, with a certain sort of sincerity and a basis of Christian belief below all his arts and in trigues. The sketch of these most remark able of living English statesmen was ex ceedingly interesting, and there were one or two strikingly original touches in the drawing. The Bishop described a Parlia ment scene and the prominent actors. British oratory was superior to that of all modern countries because British freedom was greater. Chatham was the great mod ern orator. The lecturer ! pronounced a glowing eulogium on the free institutions of Britain. . In the second branch of his subject, that concerning remarkable public buildings, Bishop Atkinson confined his attention ex clusively-to the noble religious edifices Which 'ere products of the grandest skill, conceptions of the loftiest imagination, su perior to even the wondrous temples and monuments of Greece and ' Egypt, because their erection was inspired by Christian ifle votion and they have been hallowed by the ..... ., r,. . . ... . presence 01 weynurcn s purest . aoiest ana noDiesi mrougn , long centuries. scripUons of St Pauls, Westminster Abbey, xors Minster wnere ne preacueu , iu uvcr 3,000 persons), were givenj " But we have not space or time at this hour to particularize the features of this interesting and instructive lecture. It was a subject to enlist the sympathy of the learned speaker; and, it is needless to add, having enlisted his sympathy it aroused that of his cultivated and conservative minded auditors. Like all of the Bishop's discourses, the lecture was delivered in chastest English; and the manner was all that the occasion demanded in ease, grace and dignity. The Young, Men's Christian Association and the "Wilmington Library Association did well in procuring the de livery of this, interesting ! talk on English statesmen and English churches. ... The city has cause to thank them for their efforts in providing substantial intellectual entertain ments for these long winter evenings. ; Slight Accident on tne Weldon Road. ..

J. Burnett was granted license to retail spirituous liquors. . ' . ' The committee (including the County reasurer) appointed to examine the ac counts of county officers, reported that they had examined the following: W. J. Bivens, late Register of Deeds; Jos. C. Hill, Regis- ter of Deeds; A. It Black, Sheriff, and J. C. Mann, Clerk of the Superior Court, and find that W. J. Bivens "collected "on marriage licenses during his term of office, for the county, $353.50; that he has paid to the former Treasurer $195 90, leaving a balance due of $156 GO, less 4 per cent commission on the total amount collected, amounting to $1410, which, deducted from the last balance, leaves $142 50 now due the county' by the late Register, which the Committee sug gested could remain unpaid by the late Register until the next meeting of the Board.1- '': r i! v-:f ; In the case of J. C. Hill, the Committee find that he has issued up to the 31st of December, 1873, 146 marriage licenses, for which fifty cents each is due the county, making $73. less 4 per cent, commission, aggregating $3 93, leaving a balance of $70 08, which amount has been paid into the County Treasury. The Sheriff has collected on Schedule B," for the county, three thousand two hundred and forty-four dollars and forty six cents, for the quarter ending September 30th, 1873. This sum, after deducting the Commission of 5 per cent, amounting to one hundred and sixty-two dollars and twenty-two cents, leaves a net' balance due the county of three thousand and eighty two dollars and twenty-four cents, which amount he has paid over to the County Treasurer. ' J.' C. Mann, Clerk of the Superior Court, is due the county on tax and duty on . cases two hundred and eighteen dollars, and on deeds and mortgages one hundred and eighty nine dollars and five cents,' which amount he has paid over to the Treasurer. The Board adjourned to meet on the 1st Monday in February. A Heary Storm. This city and vicinity was visited yester day by one of the severest wind storms that has been known here in a long time. The gale came from the Southwest and was un accompanied by rain, except light showers at long intervals. Considerable damage was done in the way of blowing down fences, &c. The tin covering on the roof of the new ice house recently erected by Messrs. J. E. Lippett & Co.. on South Water street, was blown almost entirely from one side of the building, and we learn that a like casualty occurred to one of the buildings in Lippitt's block, on Front street A snutter was blown irom a window in the second story of Messsrs. Oldham & Cu mining's mill, at the foot of Dock street, struck the horse-rack in front of the door, rebounded and crashed through one of the windows in the lower story. In some cases glass were blown from the win dows of stores and dwelling houses, which is a pretty fair indication of the severity of the .gale.; While all this commotion was transpiring on shore, an equally lively time was being experienced on the river. - The steamer A P. Hurt, in - attempting to draw out from her dock, became unmanageable and was blown headforemost against the wharf, by which her guards were Rtnvft in. ' Sha -was then ha.nlrl ' nn tn th 1 tr wharf - and remained quiescent until th abated The steamer R R 1m also a KTel 8trnj?Kle wita the wind and waves, upon leaving her wharf, and the spectators on shore watched her for ' a few minutes with some slight apprehension that she might succumb to the fury of the blast Just before night ' .the wind suddenly shifted and the gale ceased. We shall ex pect to hear of disasters on the coast, as the gale was no doubt, very severe outside. marine Disaster. - ' - - ' 'J: ; The New York Herald reports the arrival of the British brig Victor, Barnett, at Ber muda, Sd inst, from Wilmington.
