MONEY MARKET. [Fur this day's City Fern, see 4th page.] FAIDAT EVINING. The exchange on Paris was looking up a little to- et, day, short bilk being done at 24f. 97 te. to 234 The • rates on Flanders, Frankfort, Portugal, Spain, Sicily, Naples, and Petersburg remained the same as list post. Billa as Genoa and Leghorn were again In favour of the &elk", the former being dose aa low SI SOL 44e.... the latter at 30L 43e. A Ilse downward teedeesey was observable in drafts on Hamburg, which were negotiated at 13 marks 6 to 6:, and also OD Holland, the 9 notations for Anisterdarn being 1111. 16; to IT. There was a general impression this morning that paper on Anstria would be in greater demand; however, this anticipation was not realised. Hills on Vienna were offered at the end of , 'change at 126. 47, but found no takers at that price.

The foreign markets wising way, and the demand fur the hurt India* haying idackencd, holders have tarn obliged, after some delay, to sub mit to • reduttion of id., the price now being 4s. 11 . :'(11. This is a heavier decline than was ex pected, though the re have long been appearances that the market had ruched its height. The disofollllt 101 l gold yesterday at l'uris was 3 per =lite, which, at the English mint priee of 31.175. 10 /,el. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 2.1.110;9; and the exchange at l'aris on London, at short, being . 21.97!, it follows that gold is 0.367 per ant. dearer in Paris than in London. By the last advice* the price of gold at Hamburg is 422 per murk, which, ut the English mint price of 31. 17a. 101 d. per ounce for ationdard gold, gives an exchange of 1:1.31; and the exchange at Hamburg on London, at short. being 13.41, it follows that gold is 0.232 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. By the last neiskunts the mune of exchange at New York on London her bills at 60 'lays' sight is 110} per cent., and the 'tarot' exchange between Englan d and America being !Ott 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is moninally 0.67 per cent. in 2 favour of England. Upon taking into consideration, s however, the ditkreriee of interest and charges of I transport, we find that the prt-sent rate leaves no r i profit on the importation of gold from the United I States, 1 The lest quutations of exchange ut foreign places on London are as follow : l'reviaas Latest Quatatims.

On Thursday an extraordinary general meeting of thiseompany Is. held at the ottlecs. in Liuildliall-buildior, for the puree of considering and adopting the new agree rnent proisre.ll by the Eastern Counties Company for the union of the Norfolk and Eastern Union Companies with the Eastern Counties Railway Cumpuny. Major Ttitu.tLE took the chair. The SECRETARY read the heads of the agreement, which have already been alluded to in the Express. The CHAIRMAN moved the following resolutions : " Resolved, that the terms of agreement now read be, and the I,lllle ore hereby, approved and adopted, provided that a similar resolution be this day passed by the Eastern Counties Railway Company and the Eastern Union Rail way Company respectively." " That, in the event of such resolutions lacing passed by the other companies, the directors of this company be and are hereby authorised and empowered to carry the terms of the agreement into full effect ; and to enter into and execute under the company's seal such deeds or instruments as counsel may advise to be necessary for that purpose." Mr. 1 M.P. (a director), seconded the motion. Major COURT rose to make some objections to anything like a precipitate assent to the agreement now before the meeting. Ile considered that the guaranteed and deben ture shareholders would not be sufficiently safe under such terms as those now proposed. They ought to possess more information as to the real position of all those companies before the y agreed to bind themselves for ever. Mr. BRADLEY took a similar view of their position. Mr. PETO, M.P., agreed that the company ought to take high ground, for the Norfolk Company felt themselves quite independent, and would not care if they were free of the Eastern Counties tomorrow. Their traffic in goods from the Norwich station had increased exude. If they ap plied to the Great Northern he had no doubt they would be very glad to take there oa liberal terms. After a careful consideration of the terms now proposed by the Eastern Counties Company, he came to the resolution to recommend them to the shareholders of the Norfolk Company, as it would tend to put an end to that spirit of rivalry which had' as long existed, and was the only means of their working the lines with greater economy, with a view to afford a larger dividend to the shareholders. lie most cordially se conded the resolutions. After the explanation of Mr. Peto, and the statements of various shareholders in favour of the resolutions, theoppovi tion manifested by Major Court was withdrawn. The reso lutiotts were then put and passed unanimously. GLOUCESTER ANT? DEAN FOREST RAIL- WAY. 121 ♦7O 1711 111 160 9 28 491 After our report from Gloucester had been de spatched on Wednesday by the last available train, the dip eussion on the proposed new lease to the Great Western Company was continued, and brought at length to a close. Mr. TWITT, a Cheltenham shareholder, detailed the circumstances attending an interview between the directors and a deputation of Cheltenham shareholders. The direc tors had given them every information in the most candid manner. In so tar that the agreement was for a loan at 41 or 3 per rent. it was not satisfactory, but after the explana tion which had been given, it appeared that no better terms could be obtained, and such being the ease, it would be un wise to refuse the terms offered. It was possible for the shareholders to overrate the value of their property. (Hear, hear) Mr. KIMBERLEY (Gloucester), protested against the agreement, and handed in a written protest, signed by a number of shareholders, intimating at the same time their intention to oppose the bill before the House of Lord.. The lease would prevent the shareholders from hereafter deriving those advantages from the undertaking uhith their peculiar position enabled them to demand. Mr. WILLIAMS (Cheltenham), moved an adjournment for a month, to give the shareholders time to consider the proposition. - The CHAIRMAN reminded Mr. Williams that they were already under an agreement for a lease to the Great Western Company, at 4 per cent., and half surplus profits. The present proposal was for a modification of that ar rangement. After a good deal more discussion, the original rewind n for the modified lease was carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. CALEDONIAN AND DEMB.►RTONSMBE JUNCTION RAILWAT.—The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the ►hareholders of this company was held in the Queen'► lintel, George-square, Gleagow, on Wednesday, l'eter Blackburn, Esq., in the chair. The chairman, in moving that the report be received, said it ►howed that the line of railway was now completed, but he was sorry it did not show it had been all paid for There were still outstanding accounts against them to the amount of 65,4821., but the directors trusted that this rum would be raised by the pay ment of calls of which there was still a large amount of arrears still standing. It was limed that the number of directors should be reduced front 1.5 to 9, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. 8 4 160 9 61 32 1 221 236 12 618 fi 171 2312 Calm Cantle Bram. neat , .

Hence it is inferred that ministers have not definitively resolved to abandon the precedents of 1813 and 1833, and that next session committees may be proposed by them, should they be then in Mike. w
