Dcrutv, Nov, G. The assent of government to the applicatlon for a reduction of the constabulary force in the county of Limerick has been intiuutted. Some alarm has been excited among the clergy of the established church by a movement among the landlords to obtain a new average of the pnce of corn us a valuation for the tithe rent charge. By this means it is expected that 4 material diminution will be made in the incomes of the clergy. The first attempt in this way has been made by Lord Lucan and others at a quarter sessions court in Mayo. A few days since a meeting culled by an anony mous placard was held at Dundalk purporting to be for the purpose of taking steps with reference to the future representation of that borough. According to the account in a local uper about thirteen persons assembled on the occasion, and, although there was a strenuous opposition by some of the electors pre sent, the majority of the thirteen carried a resolution proposed by a Mr. Curtin that they were dissatisfied with their present representative, Mr. W.

Yesterday a special meeting of the holders of Venezuela Bonds lk 3. held at the London Tavern, con ♦ened by their committee fur the msrposo of deciding upon the arrangement of the debt entered in.° provisionally by the agent at La Guayrs with the government in Venezuela. Mr. J. D. Powles, as chairman, explained at length the negotiativa conducted by Mr. Loral, the agent of the bond- bukkrs, and the agreement submitted for their considera tion. tic also stated that u steady progress in, the revenue of the country bad taken place, and that ample sources were possessed to meet the claims of its public creditor. The trade of Venezuela continued to increase, and the produc tions of instill, particularly coffee, foe n considerable items of export. la making this proposal the government was not calling upon the bondholders to compromise a prin ciple, and regarding the future there will every nem to believe that with the per 'tentage of the revenue net apart punctuality could be observed. With respect to the funds deposited in the Bank of England to the credit of the bondholders and the Venezuelan government, it was not considered desirable under present circumstances to moot the question of their fractional division. The ex planations of the chairman having apparently given satis faction, the terms fur the arrangement of the debt by the capitaluation of the arrears of interest up to April list were unanimously adopted, and a resolution paned to romans- rate Mr. Lord, the agent at La Guayra, fur his valuable services, by a deduction of 2i per cent. upon the amount capitalised. The report of the committee detailing their proceedings with re erence to this portion of the debt of South America, entrusted to their care and supervision, was received and adopted, wit► a vote of thanks fur their past labours. GRAND PROTECTIONIST GOOSE CLTB.—ill conse quence of the great SUCCCIII of the goose clubs, which are prevalent at the present season of the year, it is in contem plation by the country party to ertabluh a wild-goose club, (or the exclusive use of the protectionists. One of the main objects of the club will be the getting up of a grand wild-goose chaise after protection during the ensuing session of parliament. The wild-goose chase will call into reepaii twn several of the old parliamentary hacks, and Sae sport is expected. In order to give as much variety as peril& to the attractions of the wild-goose club, many of the mesa ben of the country party are prepared to go upon say snub ber of wild-sows errands. The promoters of the club are in treaty for an extensive mare's-nest, where the process of hatching the requisite number of wild geese may be eon ducted. The wild geese will be fed upon wild oats, sown by an insane former, driven out of his mind by the repeal of the corn laws. Measures will be taken to secure the sell-known bird in hand with the celebrated two in a bash—the /earth after which will, it is expected, turn out to be a most exhilarating wild-goes, errand. Further par tic-tdare will be duly announced ; and in the meantime all letters may be addressed to Goose, Gassy Gender, Misq., Old Bead-curet.—Poodt. DIRECT TAXATION v.INDIRECI . TAXATION. On Tuesday afternoon a meeting was he'd in the Town Hall of Leighton Buzzard, for the purpose of hear ing an address from J.

FIRE AT CIILLSIA.—This morning, shortly ACT eight o'clock, the inhabitants of Holkham-street, Leader street, Chelsea were greatly alarmed in consequence cf the sudden outbreak of a fire in the house occupied by two families, named Webb and Flannigan, at No. 8, in that thoroughfare. Mrs. Flannigan narrowly escaped being burnt in coming down stairs with her children. The flames spread with such violence that in a short space of time the house where the fire oriainated was completely gutted, and had spread in a slight degree to those adjoining on each side, the inmates of which sustained considerable loss by the removal of their goods, which were thrown out of win dow into the street . FRIGHTFCL DEATH ON BOARD A STEAM-BOAT.— Yesterday afternoon Mr. Carttar held an inquest at the White Hart, Erith, to inquire into the circumstances at tending the death of George Owen, tavern keeper, Bear street, Leicester-square, who was killed on Tue sda y last on board the Queen of the Thames steam-boat. The eireum et4neell reported on Wednesday were sworn to by the wit nesses, when the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER IlushaND.—Yesterday an inquest wa• held en the body of Mrs. Elisabeth Dorothea Davis, aged 32, who, it was alleged, had been murdered by Thomas Davis, her hus band, who stands remanded from Clerkenwell Police-court. The jury, after hearing evidenee, returned a ♦erdict, " That the deceased died from inflammation of the MITI, but how caused there w.ia not sufficient evidence to show." ONE CHILD KILLED BY ANOTHER.—At Shef field, last week the death of a child four years of age was caused by • blow from a school-fellow little more than five years of age. The deceased, Arthur Brown, was the son of William Brown, metal-smith, of Solly-street, and attended a school taught by Mrs. Castletou, a widow, residing in Wheeblon-lane. On Wednesday forenoon, about half-past II o'clock. Mrs. Csstleton left the school - room l for a few minutes, and during her absence the deceased and a child called Walter Standish quarrelled about an ap ple that the latter wished to take from Brown. Not succeeding in getting the apple, Standish spat in Brown's face, and Brown did the same to Standish, whin the latter struck him with his fist once or twice in the pit of the stomach. The poor little fellow complained of great pain, and he was sent home. Mr. J. Harmer Smith, I surgeon, was sent for almost directly, but in spite of the ' mo-t active treatment be died on Saturday. On Tuesday last an inquest was held on view of the body of the deceased, before Mr. T. Badger, coroner, at the house of Mr. Wean, ' the White Horse Inn, Solly-street, when the above facts were detailed is evidence. Mr. Smith bad made a post mortem examination, and the result proved that the child died from inflammation of the right pleura and lung. That inflammation Mr. Smith said he had no doubt had been caused by blows on the pit of the stomach. The coroner then explained that within the age of seven years no infant can be guilty of felony or be punished for any capital offence, for within that age he cannot, by presumption of law, be endowed with any discretion, against which presumption no averment shall be received. The jury therefore returned the following verdict." That the said Walter Standish being an infant under the age of discretion, to wit, of the age of flee, not being capable of discerning good from evil, did kill and slay Arthur Brown, but not fkloninusly." The coroner then addressed • few words to the child Standish, who, a strong heavy lad of his age, replied, " He struck me first." Hs appeared thoughtful, but not sorrowful. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. SOUTHWARK. T. Alums, J. Murphy — , and Ann Smith were charged with defraudine several tradespeople. J. Maskell, shopman to Mr. Burden, a eorn•dealer, in Bermondsey-Areet, stated that last evening Murphy entered the shop, and, presenting a halterown over the counter, stammered out something which he thought meant change for half &crown. He put his hand in the till for the pur pose of giving him the change, when the prisoner exclaimed more clearly that he did not want change, but half-a crown's worth of Everett's grits. Witness went to the other end of the shop to inquire of eno of the young men whether they kept such an article, and finding thnt they did not, he returned to Murphy and told him so. He said, Never mind ; give me my half-crown back." Witness said be had not taken it up, but left it on the counter. Murphy declared that he had not Won it, and, after some angry words, witness was induced to give him half-a-crown from the till. W. Bennett, apprentice to a tea dealer next door, said. Adams came into the shop, and stammering, presented him with half-a-crown. Ile was about to give him change, when he said he did not want that; he wanted a half-crown's worth of Dunn's cocoa. Witness went and got him some, when prisoner said he did not like that, and demanded his half-crown back. He told him he hail not taken up the coin, but the prisoner so per,isted that he had, thistles was in duced to give him one from the till. John Millington, barman at the Woolpselt Bermandsey street, said, Adams aunt into their shop a little after six, ' and served him the flame trick. While he was serving him Murphy came in, and left immediately.. Police-constable Towns, of the M division, said from in formation he received he was induced to watch the prison ers, and after Adams and Murphy left the Woolpack he captured them all, and found four half-crowns on the female, who acted in concert with the men. Mr. Coombe ordered the half-crowns to be returned to their owners, and after cautioning the prisoners as to their future conduct, discharged them. lie hoped tradepeoplo would be more cautious, and not be gulled by such vaga bonds. NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY. Yesterday a special meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the London Tavern to re ceive and consider a report front the directors on the steps taken in reference to a resolution passed at a gencral meeting of the company in August last, authorising the board to promote a bill in parliament for the abandon ment of certain portions of the works, lot the reduction of capital, and fur carrying out certain other alterations in the original act. Major BERESFUItD, M.P., the chairman of the company, presided. Mr. WEBB, the secretary, read the report, which, after detailing the circumstances under which the resolution of the shareholders had been passed, stated that it had been agreed on the part of two influential companies to thaw two thirds of the expenses of going to parliament; and, in con serpici.ce, the preliminary steps were taken, so far as direct ing Sir W. Cubitt to survey the line. Since that time, how ever, one of those two companies had withdrawn from the line, and in consequence the directors had stopped all fur ther expenses, and deemed it proper to call the present ex traordinary meeting in order to lay before the proprietors the altered position of the company ni this respect. On due consideration, the directors are not prepared to recom mend going to parliament in the ensuiug session, but to wait the progress of further negotiation. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting. He said that in consequence of the resolution passed last August, the directors had appointed from amongst them selves a parliamentary committee, to take the necessary preliminary steps for making an application to parliament. Sir Wm. Cubitt, acting on the instructions of that com mittee, had re-surveyed the line, for the purpose of ascer taining how far it could be humored, and the expense of constructing it might be diminished. Sir W. Cubitt had gone over the old survey carefully, and the whole of the country right and left, and the result, as stated in his report, was that the line, as originally laid down, was an exceedingly good one, and that it was almost impossible to make it better. (Hear, hear.) So far this was satisfactory, as affording them the guarantee which the opinion of so eminent an engineer gave as to the correctness of! the original survey. The expenses attending this preliminary step hail not been very heavy, and' about the time when further proceedings would have! been taken, and larger expenses incurred, circumstances ! arose, which he could neither account for nor explain, which induced one of the three parties who had undertaken to hear the cost of applying to parliament to withdraw fiorn that agreement. (Hear, hear.) The time was very short to consult, but, after such consideration as they could give to the subject, the board had come to the determination that it would not be wise to go to parliament under present circumstances—single-handed and at the solo charge of this company—for the proposed bill in the next session. (Hear, hear.) That decision, he hoped, would have the acquiescence of the proprietors; and he could only further add, that if between now and next year opportunity should offer for renewing the negotiations with the other companies, and bringing about a more successful result, a:cured by legal documents, the directors would avail them selves of it for the benefit of the proprietors. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. BAKER, us one of a deputatiou from a large body of shareholders residing in the north, begged to express his satisfaction at the decision at which the directors had arrived, and moved that the directors should not proceed with the application to parliament until they o• tamed a satisfactory guarantee of at least 5 per cent. ou the capital expended. Mr. JACKSON seconded this motion. Mr. GILLON moved that the report be not sulopted. This company was one of the results of the railway mania of 1844. It had been in existence more th - in five years, and had made 21 miles of line, which by good luck had been sold to the Leeds and Thirsk Company. A loop had been made here and a bit there, without the chance of a return for the money spent, and now it was proposed to go to parliament to enable them to carry on further works which would involve them in great expense and perpetuate a loss. Ile moved, " That this meeting is of opinion that it is desirabl, to take prompt measures for winding up the company," and he would sub stitute these words fur the last paragraph in the report which spoke of resuming the negotiations. The CHAIRMAN said he could not legally put such a motion, and he would not put it. A SHAREHOLDER thought that Mr. Gillon could not be aware of the heavy expense of winding up the company under the Winding-Up Act. After some discussion, Mr. GILLON would alter the wording of his amend ment to meet the objection of the chairman. He now pro- posed it should stand thus : that the report be not adopted, and that the directors be recommended to call a special meeting to consider the present position of the company. After a long and desultory discussion the amendment was withdrawn, and the report of the directors confirmed, the chairman undertaking that if a requisition were sent to the bond to that effect a twice should be appended to the advertisement calling the ordinary general meeting in Feb ruary, of a special meeting on the same day, to consider the propriety of taking steps to dissolve the company. A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and the board, and the meeting separated. WEST FLANDERS RAILWAY. Yesterday the half•yearly meeting of this company was held at the office inMoorgate-street. W. P. Ittcnknne, En., took the chair. 1 he report (the substance of which appeared in Tuesday's Express)) having been read, The CHAIRMAN hoped the meeting would give them credit for the great economy which had been practised in the management. The directors had expected that a con siderable revenue would have arrived from visitors to the Great Exhibition, but it had not turned out as ex pected. It was to be regretted that a scheme which would have induced the public to come forward had not been sanctioned by the Belgian senate, through the opposition of a strong patty inimical to the government. The report was adopted, and the dividend of la 9d. per share was agreed to. Atter some observations from Mr. Bestir... Tit as to the accounts, The !heeling passed a vote of thanks to the chairman sad directors, and then adjourned. TESTIMONIAL TO Ma. BUNTING.—The council of the National Reform Aa'ociati n have presented a testimo rind, in the form of a very elegant silver inkstand, to Mr. C. J. Bunting, of Norwich, bearing the following brief but I appropriate inscription, viz.: " The National Parliamentary Reform Association to the Norwich Operative, 1831." This acknowledgment of the services of Mr. Booting in the cau,e of reform was accompanied by the following letter from the president : "11, Poultry, London, Nov. a, 1861. '.My dear Sir,—As the President of the National Parlia mentary Reform Association, I have to tender for your acceptance, in the name of that body, the accompanying silver inkstand, which has been unanimously voted by the council as a small but sincere testimony to the earnest.- MIA and ability with which you have advocated, in your writings, and recently in the valuable lecture ' delivered at the London Tavern, the claims of the indus ' trial classes to the elective franchise. That your health may be continued to prosecute these useful labours, and that they mar soon be crowned with complete suceess, is the sincere wish of, my dear sir, yours faithfully, JOSHUA WALMSLET. Mr. C. J. Bunting."—The lecture referred to by Sir Joshua Walmsley was delivered by Mr. Bunting at one of the monthly soin•es of the associauor. The teat of the Norwich operative on that occasion was, "The pre valent objections to the enfranchisement of the working classes." RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. There is a slight increase of activity in the share market, as compared with the quiet state of business for some days past, but the transactions are still far from extensive. Generally the feeling of the market is decidedly better, a sensible advance having taken place in most descriptions, including, more especi ally, Caledonians, Great Northerns, Lancashire and Yorkshires, North Westerns, South Westerns, Mid lands, and South Easterns. The Eastern lounties' receipts for the last week are 15,5051., against 14,875/. last year, being an increase of H3Ol. Preference shares continue to command a fair amount of attention, and realise full prices. In French shares there is not much doing, but the market is firm, and Boulogne and Amiens and North ern of France, which are the descriptions most dealt in, are well supported. mum, AND IMICIDI DNOUARANTIED. 111 4 1.04 adage .

The English stock market has shown increased buoyancy to-day, although the transactions are rather less extended than usual, and prices now range 1 higher than they left off yesterday. The govern ment broker has again operated in Reduced Threes, and the scarcity of money stock indisposes the dealers to sell except at high rates. From Paris ' the usual mail of last night has not yet arrived, but by telegraph we arc advised of a sensible rise in the lquotations of the Rentes, consequent upon a more favourable opinion being entertained by some of the speculators relative to the prospects of the ministry in their attempt to modify the electoral law. Consols have ruled all day at 98 to t, both for money and Wednesday next, whilst for the 11th December they rule k higher, at 98} to !. The following arc the official prices of the day's business :—Three per Cent. Consols, 98, 981; ditto for account, 98, 981 ; Three per Cents. Reduced Annuities, 971, ; New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. Annuities, 981, 1 • Bank Stock, 2142, 214; India Stock, 2621, 264 ; Long Annuities, 6 15-16, 7. Exchequer Bills continue to vary between the range of 31s. to 345. prem., and 321. to 535. prem., but the lower rate is the prevailing one. India Bonds are quoted 565. to 395. prem. There is scarcely any business doing in the foreign stock market, and prices are mostly unchanged. Spanish Actives are flat, but a few purchases have, by a singular anomaly, caused a slight improvement in the value of the Three per Cent. debt of thisistate, which has reached 391. Buenos Ayres Bonds have been transacted at -111, being a fractional improve ment on the price last recorded; but the dealers are very shy of touching these bonds, in the critical position of the dictator Itosas, and the present quotation shows a clnsitkrable fall, as com pared with that which ruled a few weeks ago. Sales are reported to-day as follows: Brazi lian New Five per Cents., 1829 and 1839, 861. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 41i. Belgian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 90 ex div. Dutch Two•and a-llalf per Cents., 581. French Five per Cent. Routes, 36fr. 87 lc. ; exchange, 23fr. 20e. Sardinian Scrip, 31 die. Spanish Passive Bonds, 31 ; ditto Three per Cents., 39, 1. The Atlantic steamer, it is stated in a second edition of the Daily .V',es, arrived this morning in the Mersey, with specie to the amount of 100,000 dots., making the total receipts of the week from this quarter alone about 143,0001. A sum of 70,000!. has also been received from Russia, so that the week's imports will, in the aggregate, sum up a very respectable figure, a circumstance of some im portance at a time when the movement of the pre cious metals is so earnestly watched. If any assu rance were needed that the Bank's stock will further increase it is thus afforded. Commercial and mone tary affairs in the United States are represented as still improving, but another banking failure of some importance had occurred. The exchange on London is reported rather better at 110 1, so that a slight margin of profit is still afforded on shipments of coin to this side. The increased movement noticed in the stock mar kets of the United States is beginning to react here, and after the late suspension of business, there is altogether more inquiry for American securities, though no material change in quotations has as yet occurred. Large purchases have been made in the Federal stocks by the United States Secretary to the Treasury on account of the Sinking Fund. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report the following as the quotations at present ruling, to which we have added the last New York prices, as advised by Messrs. Cammann and Whitehouse : London New York Redsonalde. Price& Prlte*. United RAN. 0 per Ct.

The number of miles open was, in 1851, 3,8334, and in 1850, 3,7281, being an increase of 10,54 miles, or 21 per cent. The aggre gate average return per mile per week was, in 1631, 481. 17s. (ld., and in 1850, 461. 19s. 21(1., so that the difference remains in favour of the present year to the extent of 1!. 18s. 31d. per mile. These returns will be received with satisfaction, as showing that the general traffic, though now returning to the usual autumnal range, still maintains a decided ad vance over that ut last year, and though the in crease in some of the trunk lines is insignificant, yet taken in connexion with the vastly augmented move ment that has prevailed throughout the last six months, it is a result of considerable importance. There have been few extraordinary influences in ope ration on the traffic this week. 'The Eastern Coun ties return (which is kite of delivery, so that the exact figures have not yet reached us) will be found to be swelled by the Newmarket Houghton Races, which fell at the same date in both years. The ' great horse, sheep, cattle and pig fair at Ewell has also affected the London and Brighton receipts. The return per mile per week on the chief lines is subjoined : 1851. 1850.

We have no alteration to report in thu value of either English or foreign Wheat since Monday; the demand, al though not bri-k, was sufficient to euable holders to main tain that day's rates. Flour sold on quite as good terms as at the beginning of the week, Barley, Beans and Peas were in fair request, at Monday'a prices. A steady sale was experienced for Oats, on pate u good terms as were obtainable nt the beginning of the week.

We arc enabled to retain our quotation., although the de mand is scarcely so large. The number of Sheep is small, but sufficient. There is no altertion from Monday's quota tions. The supply of Calves is unusually small, chiefly owing to the non-arrival of several boas front Holland, whose cargoes should have been delivered here this morning.
