The liseumotive committee report that the working condition of the rolling stork has tarn fulls maintained during the half-year. but that the increased traffir upon the line up to the present time, and the large addition which may Ise expected from the opening of the great national exhibition and other sourer., render the fallowing addition. neressary . to the locomotive land car rying stub of the rompanv, vox.: 3.) engines and tenders, estimateil 4,0 t, : 100 enclosed third doss carriages and TN w:L.izons. 3.1,1311/. Total, 9.1.63110/. "The committee have also had under their consideration the farther a. eimimmlation required for repairing shops and engine sheds. and they strongly recommend that the follow ing additional engine sheds and repairing shop., de., be erected, as living most essential fur the efficient and ceono rnieal working of the business of the locomotive depart ment . —An engine shed at Gloucester, estimated cost 9,40104. ; 6.11001. ; Burton, 1,0001.: Notting ham, 3.0001.; Bradford. 2.0001.; Weise, 6,5001. : work "boa". 7.001/.; tools fur ditto, 5.0b01.: total, 39,0110/. Blowing addition. to way and works are also required for the further development of traffics :—A corn warehouse at Nottingham, estimated coat 10.0001.; ditto, Stamford. ditto, 3.0001.; engine shed, sidings• de., for Worcester brawl, to be repaid b y the Oxford, Worre.ter, and Wol vrthanspton Company. 3,0001.; various other sidings, for w 1.,, h time osiosinv sire to receive 10 per cent. on the outlay, 4.0001.: total, 20,0001. This South Staffordshire Railway Company having made a further call upon the sham held in that railway by this rompassy, to the amount of 6,0001. (hut which is entitled to interest at the rote of 4 per cent. per annum), it was neees wiry that that sum should also be included in the vote which Y i. reposed to take at this meeting. flee directors have again caused estimates to be pre pored of the outstanding liabilities of the company in re sans et of capital account. and they have the satisfaction of bell. view that the amount of 770,2401., formerly stated as' nitro -ost fee the completion of the railway, to the 30th of ' June, lOW, will not be exceeded: towards this amount 444,4 W. had lees paid at the close of 11430, keying 325,8145/. to pay. Sines that period the additional expendi ture now reported has become necessary, and it is for the proprietors to determine the respective portions which shall he borne by capital and revenue. The directors re commended that of the 9.5,6301. (my 100,00(1.), one-half should be charged to capital and the other to revenue, and that the latter should he debited with 12,5001. per annum, eommencing from the Ist July last ; and for this purimse 6,2-101. has been chanted to revenue in the accounts now submitted ; hut they advise that the sum of 6i,taillt. for the Soot% Staffordshire call, new buildings, siding*, eke., be charged to capital. Mr. Barlow reports ' that the line throughout is in good working condition, and that the new permanent way continuer to exhibit the most satisfactory results ; that he has sureceded in constructing it at the same cost a. that heretofore made with vroo,len al, epee., and that the experience of the last eighteen month* both on this line and npon the South Eastern has proved that it is cheaper to mainto!n, and is a more perfect and easy road for the rolling stock.' There is again a small reduction in the rent of inaintenane, of way upon the mileage maintained during the half-year. The rust haring been 121!. per mile per annum as against 12fi1. per mile per annum in the half-year ending the 30th of June, 18.;0. With the prospect of a more durable road and of cheaper maintenance, the directors have not thought it necessary to add more than 10,0001. to the renewal fund for this half-year, making the total amount of that fund on the 31st of lnrember last, 30,010/. The junction at Bir mingham, with the London and North AI intern Railway, wascompletcti on the Ist of November, and has been us. d fur the passage of goods and minerals for some weeks past, hut the opening of the line for passenger. has been delayed in consequent r of an accident to the viaduct near the junc tion, and - elm from the necessity for some alteration. to the passengers' station of the London and North Western Com pany to enable them to give proper facilities for the working of this brunch of your traffic ; these alterations are in pro gress and will shortly he completed. The branch line to connect the 'Mansfield and l'innton and NMtintrham and Mansfield railways with the Erewash Valley railway, has also been cotopletNl during the half-year, and is now open for the conveyance of minerals. The branch of the °snort, Worcester, and Wolverhampton rail way from Abbott. Wtmd to Worcester, was opene on the sth of October last, and your directors have ti;nrcesl to work the traffic: for a shorteriod upon terms advan tageous to both nonpanics. T his railway is now likely to be completed in its entire length from Os hied through Woe ester to Wolverhampton, and if in the hands of competing parties might he the means of seriously injuring the traffic upon the Bristol and Birmingham portion of your railway. I. oder these circumstance*, the directors have, in etinjunet lion with the London and North Western Company, entered into an agreement with the directors of the Oxfunl, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Company for working the entire line its soon as it shall be ready for truffle. The director* who retire by rotation at this meeting are John Ellis, Esq., M.P., Leicemer ; Josiah Lewis, Esq., Derby; and John Mercer, Esq., Bristol; and John Jackson, Esq., of Anltsu, is the retiring auditor, all of whom are eligible for re,lection." In • subsequent paragraph it was announced that the meeting would h.: made spevial for the purpose of submitting a proposition for a lease for a term not exceeding twenty. our years of a portion of the tolls of the Leeds and Liver pool (*anal to this company. jointly with the Lancashire and :redYorkshire and Loudo: red North West, rn companies, the Hut Lancashire Railway company being also parties to the arrangement though not as lessees The meeting will also be made special fur the purpose of enabling the company to adopt the powers and pros isiono of an act of parliament past d in the reign of her present Majesty, fur authorising the pmprietort of canal. to become carriers. The directors having very carefully considered the terms and objects of the proposed leas., were unanimous in their opinion as to the great advantages which the company will derive from being a party thereto. and they accordingly recommend you to assent to tt as well a, to place yourselves under the Act and 9 Vie. e. 42, for enabling proprietor. of canals to he come carriers. The assent of the proprietors of the London and North Western and East Lancashire Railway compa nies ha. already been obtained to the lease and traffic ar rangement consequent thereupon. The ('HAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that it was satisfactory to him, as it must be to the proprietary, that he was in a position to congratulate them un the improvement which had taken place in the traffic, which had been gradual and eontinuous front the loot half )early meeting; this had not been quite to the extent he had anticipated, but still their returns hail considerably in creased. It would be remembensel that he scattered on a prediction to the effect that, although they might hose MIMI , thing in consequened. of the opening of the Great Northern line, that this would lie more than mode up from other sourceo; now the result had shown that thin prediction wan fully borne out, although the South Walt's line, from which much might be expected, was not yet opened. (Hear, bear.) It wan quite clear, too, that the Great Northern line could not take moth more from the Midland than it had already taken, the falling off in the passenger traffic been something like five thousand pounds in the half year. With reference to the aceunuts, it would he oven that the locomotive charges had increased, te circumstance which must he attributed to the increase of traffic in the goes. department, and the consequent employment of an additional number of engines V. nth respect to provision for the future maintenance of the permanent way, 10,0901. had been added to that fund, which the directors deemed amply sulfle , ent to keep the road in proper repair ; and he ought also to say that the iron way, so far as it had been tried, had been found to answer well. To providejur the increased traffic, it had been deemed necessary to &der 34 new engine., 1110 covered carriages, and 200 waggons. The cost of the engines would he, in round numbers, 190,000/. The account from which the money for the payment of this sum should he taken had been carefully considered by the board. If he had to provide for it individually, he would take it all from revenue, hut the hoard had 'come to the conclusion that it would be the fairest to take one.half the amount from capital, and dint-half from revenue. (Ilene.) It must be remembered that they had a fluctuating pro prietary ; therefore it would, perhaps, he hardly fair to take the entire 100,0001. from revenue. (Hear, hear.) It was, accordingly, proposed to take 50,000 L from the revenue in tight half-years. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman nest. adverted to hi. declaration twelve month, since, as to the further outlay which would at that time he required on account of the company. That statement had been fully borne out by the fact. The amounts recommended for new works in the report to-day were rendered nerves:ere by the increasing traffic on the line, and was for entente-sheds, corn warehouses, &c., amounting to 65.0001. In every instance where pilling' had been laid down for the benefit of coal-owners an agree ment had been entered into by which the company re ceived ten per rent. on their coot. (Hear. hear.) An ex penditure would be required upon the station at Rugby. in conjunction with the London and North Western Company, the aceomnandation at that place tieing lamentably defi cient ; but in this outlay due regard would be paid to eco nomy. Ile further adserted to the arrangements which had been completed for running into the London and North Western station at Birmingham, which would, he said, he most advantageous for the company ; and eons chided by remarking that be had received strong letters complaining that the surplus carried over (25,0000 was excessive. Ile differed in opinion with the writers thereof. Ile hoped they would get the bill paned with reference to the 501. shares. If they were un able to do so, it was probable that a portion of the present !surplus would be required to make up the dividend next half-year, for having once gone up he should he emending(' sorry to let the dividend down again. (Hear.) Ile mentioned the subject in defer ence to those hon. proprietors who had written to him, but in their opinions he did not at all concur. The hon. gentle man then formally moved that the report and the recom• mendations contained in it be received and adopted. Mr. REALE. the deputy-chairman, seconded the motion. Alter some discussion, and before the report was put. Mr. Indioddrte protested against the payment of any money on account oft he Leeds and Bradford lease. Thercatler, the Chairman put the resolution forthe adop tion of the report, which was carried unanimously. fly a subsequent motion, the resolution passed at the last half-yearly meeting, haling reference to the publication of the contract, entered into half-yearly, together with the amount of salary paid to each of the company', servautN, was, on the recommendation of the chairman, re.einded. . • Another resolution Is a. ve.sed, authorising the direetors to proceed as they 'Maid think must expedient • either by the purchase of land or otherwise, for the Stonehouse branch. On the next question. the filling up of vacancies at the board, Mr. BASS, M.P., moved the re-election of Mr. Ellis, M.P.. the chairman. Mr. JthiE, of Bristol, st conded the motion. which was put to the meeting by the hoe mover, and unanimously adopted. The remainder of the retiring directors were re-elected; and a resolutitm was passed. having reference to the •' audit." which was notieed in a special report read by Mr. Bell, the seeretarv. At the instance of Mr. Bass, M.P., a resolution was passed. empowering the directors to take the necessary steps for the construction of a line of railway about five miles in length to Ripley : it brunches off to the collieries a little below Derby, and is to be guaranteed for twenty one years at sin per cent, on the outlay to this company. The act has already been obtained, but the powers expire in July. Captain 111,71511 spoke strongly in favour of the con struction of this branch, which would open up a large un developed tniffie and with ref. mice to some remarks made at the early part of the meeting by Mr. Deakiu, complaining of the small profit resulting from goods indite, the gallant captain said that his experience had shown to him that coal trains at a halfpenny per ton per mile were more profitable than any passenger trains that passed over the company's lines. At the *special mectiu7 ro.lution* were passed in con formity with the Tetouan. ittlAtior-s referred to iu the direc tors' report. The proceedings thereafter terminated with a vote of off some further old claims which had been brought thanks to the chairman and board of directors; the former against the company ; and the affairs were now in reply congratulating the proprietary on the amicable ter- , be-alight into a very narrow compass. lie then adverted tie mination of the business of the day. a bill in equity which had been filed seeing the company by i Mr. Cooper l're.ton, a landowner and j u stice o f th e pease ' fur the West Riding, re s iding nt }'tasty-up, in Craeen-- NIANCILESTEII, .t I) LINCOLN- (laughter) anti although Mr. Preston remains in the ton SHIRE RAILWAY. disturbed enjoyment of hi , : property, he has the modesty to Yesterday the ordinal 7 half -yearly meeting of this insist that this company shall pay him 15,000 P., and has tiled company RA, held at the Exchange, Manchester, when, in a bill in Chances to c om p e l it.

He was happy to tell them, whet had been always . hisseelfrad his colleagues, and soured the meeting :hat a matter of great interest to the shareholders, that the I their utmost exertious would be continued to be put Grimsby Docks were progressing otisfaeturiiy towards I forth for the protection of the shareholders, the meeting completion. It was a matter of very great importance that !separated. they had been enabled to conclude a contr:tet with Messrs. Hutchins for the completion of those ducks; and, if it bad homer any utility to open these docks before Match, 1352, he had no - hesitation in saying it might have been done lie conceived, however, that it would be of no advantage, be cause if they were open before, they would not be able in all prulxiltility to have any part of the Baltic trade before that time, and if they increa.sed the rapidity of the works, the rep ense-s would, probates', be int-mend also. (Hear, hear.) With regard - to the reference in the report to the works at New Holland, he might say that though the traffic might nut have increased to the same extent as they, perhaps, anticipated, it was because for want of fonds they were not able to open the basin so soon as to take advantage of the Baltic trade of last autumn. Before they were enabled to open the basin the vessels which traded to the Baltic haul already been chartered for other ports. It was a satisf alien to them, however, to find that no sooner WWI the basin opened than the htmilingyards by the side of the basin were immediately taken for umber-yards. lie believed it would be of very gnat advantage to the proprietors to have the facilities for receiving and sending away ROM. from New Holland, where he confessed he often thought, with many of the shareholders, that they had extended their operations too much. From what he had seen, however, he was quite satisfied that such was nut the case. In connexion with the New Hollantl works came the ntatt,y of the number ferries. In compliance with the wishes of the shareholders euwessed at the half-yearly meeting the director. had taken proceedings against the parties who bought the Humber ferric" and afterwards sold them to the rompany. He had been favoured by a friend with the evidence given before the committee of the House of COllllllolls on the South Yorkshire Railway Bill. It fully bore out the expectations held out to the dinvtore, that if they would only take the railway about two miles and a-half into the Barnsley line, they would get an abun dant supply of coal. The company puseessed parliamentary powers to make the line, but the powers fur purchasing the land would expire next August, and the director, were unanimously of opinion that it was for the interest of the shareholder. that the land should be purehneed. Ile was satisfied that very great ails entire would accrue to the com pany from the making of the line. They would get into a coal district, when there was between 4,000 and dub acres of coal. He was told that in this town there was a party who would contract to take 100,000 tons a year from them if they could furnish that amount. No doubt they would be able to furnish that quantity of coal, and a great deal more, if they made this branch into the cued di,trict. They hail learnt by experience that it would be wise to make an arrangement with parties beforehand as to the quantity of coal they were to give them, hut he believed that in the neighbourhood of Barnsley partiem were quite alive to the inconvenience they suffered from the want of proper communieation a ith the main line. By ntaking this branch they would not only be utile to supply coal to Man chester, Staleybridge, and Ashton, but also to Lincolnshire ; and he believed they would be stile also to send a consider able _quantity for export from Grimsby. (Applause.) It was a matter for congratulation that they had at length been able to make satisfactory arrangements with the Great Northern Company. One of the auditors had resigned, and had declined to offer himself for re-election ; therefore the y would have to supply his place at the present meeting. Four directors, among whom was himself, retired by nota tion this half-year; they had consented to offer them...wises for reelection, if it should be the wish of the shareholders to re-elect them. (Applause.) His lordship concluded by moving the adoption of the report and accounts, which having liceu already published, were considered 14 read. Mr. CHAPM.tN, the deputy chairman of the company, seconded the motion. Mr. I'E O, M.l'., advocated the further opening of the coal trade, and said when he told them that the land to Barnsley could be bought for 10,0001., and the line into the Silkstinw district could be completed with four locomotives and 400 waggons for 90,0001. ' and when he told them that a firm in Manchester would take 101,000 ton., of the coal per week if that line were made,. and another firm between Manchester and Womlhead would take 140,000 tons mon., making an increase of 1,5001. per week in the income of the company, he felt that they were not trifling with the time f the company. (Applause.) The hon. member said that with regard to the Grimsby Dock, to have changed the con tractors would have lost a season, and it would have been a question whether they would be ready in time for the Baltic trade of 1102 or 18.53. They had now gone over the esti mate, and a contract was drawn up for completing the docks, warehouses, cranes, &e., within 100,0001. He expressed his opinion that, with the completion of the docks and all the stations, and with the Sillistour coal trade opeued,the traffic would reach 10,0001. per week, which would give a dividend of 3 per cent. on the whole capital, and every increase of 1,11001. per week afterwards would give an increase of 1 per cent. in addition. (Applause.) The report was then adopted unanimously. The CHAIRMAN moved the payment of a dividend of 7} per cent. on the No. 1 Quarter shares, and of Ss, per share on the 101. Preference stick, on the 10th March.— Agreed to. The forfeiture of certain shame by the directors was con firmed, and the re-election of the retiring directors was agreed to unanimously. Mr. Unwiu was elected auditor in the place of Mr. Walker. Mr. GAMBLE, a dinetor, moved for power to purchase land, before the powers of the act expired, to make the junction of nearly three quarters of a rode with the Midland line near Woodhouse. _ _ Mr. GEACII, direetor, seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. Mr. MAXWELL, of Liverpool, depreeated the pr sent system of granting free passes to shareholder+ over the line to the meetings of the company. Ife thought it was unjust to non-residents on the line, who had to pay their expend... The motion was only lust on a narrow scrutiny by division of the meeting, and he muted for a pull, but at with drew the demand. The business of the speeial meeting wa.s then gone into. The CHAIRMAN moved that the outstanding interevt on dividend warrants, the payment of which was deferred at the half-yearly meetings of February and August, luni, be payable on and after 2:ith March neat ensuing. 't he motion was seconded and carried. Three cheers haring been proposed to Lord Yarborough for presiding, were given with much heartiness, and an additional cheer having been proposed for free-trade, was also given. LIVERPOOL. MANCHESTER, AND NEW- CASTLE JUNCTION RAILWAY. The half-yearly- ;n;Wng;;;lTtritiOCific , offices of the company, in York, on Tuesday last ; LeemAse, Esq., chairman of the company, presided. The accounts showed a balance remaining in hand, ralw jset to existing debts and liabilities, of 4,9601. 14s. 7d. The common seal of the company having been attached to the register of shareholders, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to address the meeting, and stated, that in accordance with the provisions of the com pany's act, and of the wiA expressed at the last half-yearly meeting by the shareholders who were then assembled, the directors had paid interest on the deposits amounting to 8.1361. 13.. 4,1., and leaving the available balance now in hand, subject to liabilities, 4,96411. 144. 71., as shown in the accounts read. In compliance with the wishes of the share holders present at the last meeting, the directors had ab stained from taking any steps under the Railways Abandon ment Act, passed in the then closing session. That act was felt by all companies to be so defective and would operate so unjustly to railway companies, and for the advantage of landowners, that ha believed he was right in saying not a single company hail availed themselves of its provisions, although there were many new companies anxious to have availed themselves of the powers of en tirely abandoning their undertakings ; and many old ones who were also desirous to have abandoned unnecessary branches for which powers of parliament had been granted in the more palmy days of railway enterprise. He (the chairman) had recently received communieations from seve ral parties who intended to form adcputation to the govern meat, for the purpose of seeking an alteration in the act of last session, so that it might not remain a dead letter, and he had undertaken on behalf of this company to unite in any measures having that object. (Applause.) In the course of the half-year the directors had cleared SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. Yesterday the halfearly meeting of this company took place at the London 7 ;trent, Bishopsgate-strect, fur the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, and on other husinem. A slug number of propel tors attended on the occasion. C. R. M. Tat.nor, Esq., M.l'., took the chair. The SECRETARY read the notice eonvening the meet ing, alter which the 00011210 R SCA wu. Ktfiaud to the registry of proprietor. The report and account/I, which hare already appeared, were read to the meeting. The CHAIRMAN thought that it was a most favourable feature of their undertaking to have realised during the first six months' toiierations a balance of 10,8001. in favour of the company. If they added to this the amount to be paid for the carriage of her Majesty's mails, this balance would be increased to 15,0001. for the first half year, or 30,000!. per annum. (Loud applause.) This traffic, which they could already boast of, was impeded by the want of a sufficient number of trucks, but he was happy to say that the Great Western Railway Company hail ordered the manufacture of a number sufficient to satisfy the wants of the South Wales Railway. (Hear, hear.) They could do three times the traffic that could he carried on with the present number of tracks, and with the addition proposal and the further completion of the line 10 times the amount of traffic might be expected. (Applause.) The chairman referred to the isolated position in which he stood at their Last meeting in November, and informed the meeting that sines, that 'time the whole lseird had united with him in carrying out the policy he then recommend, d. (Hear, hear.) After this he thought they might with safety pro secute the line to Fishguard. They must, however, con sider their means for this purpose. He found that up to 31st December last they had expended 2,568.000/., which would leave them something like Lanomow. still unex pended. Fortes, than 1,000,000/. the line might be finished to Fishguard. This would leave a disposable balance of upwards of 300,000/. short of the 4,000,000/. which this com pany was authorised to raise. Tho it immediate object now was too finish their line to Grange Court, which would not &pope of - more than 140,000/. As far as that RUM was required, he felt justified in informing the meeting that he himself and one of his personal friends were quite ready to lend that amount to the company. (Loud applause.) The chairman then alluded to the reports going about, that in the event of their completing the fine to Fishguard, the Great Western directors would refuse to sign the kiss.. Ile was happy to say that in his communications with the direc tors of that company he could not find that they ever said an either directly or indirectly. Let them not heed such reports, hut go on completing the line to Fishguard, and he had no doubt the directors of the Great Western Company would complete their part of the agreement like honourable men. (Iliac, hear.) Without a firm belief in the integrity of the directors of the Great Western Company the beard would never think of going to u place like Fishguard. Ile hoped, however, better opinions would prevail with that Company, and that they would see the propriety of substituting fur such a place the influential port of Milford Hawn. (Loud applause.) Let them agree to this, and they would have no cause to lava t guarantee. ing 200,0004 a year to the South Wales Company. (Re newed applause.) This place was ex natures res strung as a packet statism, and no other port in England or Ireland could present a more favourable terminus fur a railway company. This chairman concluded an eloquent speech by moving the adoption of the report and accounts. Mr. FRANKLIN put several questions in reference to the accounts. _ Mr. BAKER, the auditor, replied that the expenses of management might he taken at 6,0001. per annum. The interest was paid on debentures to the extent of 272,7001. Mr. CHAPMAN (Overend, Gurney, and Company) said of all the meetings ot' this company he hod been present at, not one gave him such sal satisfaction as this did. It must be consolatory to them all to have heard such an aide speech on the part of their chairman, and to possess such a board of directors, units r their existing circumstances. A ',midi'', owiom took place in consequence of Mr. Chap man mooting the subject of preference shares, in which Mr. De Winton, Captain Berkley, and other proprietors, took . . . . The CHAIRMAN remorml the want of unanimity shown on the part of Mr. De Winton and a few others, by saying that the board would not think of issuing preference shares without calling the proprietors together at a meeting fur the purpose of considenng the subject. Mr. DE WINTON then withdrew his amendment. The report of the directors was adopted unaitimemsly. The CHAIRMAN then moved the following rimiluiions, which were seconded, and agreed to unanimously : Th a t i n exereise of the poners and provisions of the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway Act, 1846, a sum nut exceeding 1:10,0001. be raised by the creation and issue of additional shams in the undertaking of the South Wales Railway Company, of the nominal amount of 501. each, and that the directors . be, and they are hereby authorised to issue such additional ohms on such terms, at such times, anal to such persons us they may deem expedient. " That in exercise of the powers and pmsisions of the Vale of Neath Railway Amendment Act, 11418, there be raiwd a sun. not exceeding 127,7801.. by the creation and issue of new shares in the undertaking ..f the South Wales Railway Company, of the nominal amount of 401. each, and that the directors be, and they arc hereby, autho rioed to 16411 C such new shares on such terms, at suelt times, and to such persons as they may deem expedient." . . Mr. CHAPMAN moved a vote of thank. to the chairman and diroetors for their able management of the affairs of the company. Mr. ftIDGWAY, havinz spoken on the advantages of Milford Haven, seconded the motion, which was passed unanimously. _ _ The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, advised them to be united, as the only wuy of eompletingithis great under taking; if they were not united, he could we no pruapect of its completion.

At the opening of the sale the attendance of buyers was very numenne., and Decem ber rates were fully maintained, but for the last few dace they mustered in smaller number', and the pric, for nearly all qualities, excepting lambs' Wool, gave way to the extent of Id. per lb., a result not surprising considering the dulness which has pervaded the manufacturing district, during the last few weeks, caused to some extent by the mildness of the winter and the consequent reduced con'unmtion of heavy goods.

RAIL WAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLoca. The arrangements for the settlement of the account which expires to-morrow form the main feature of business in the share market to-day. The rates of " continuation" to the next account, of the 14th of March, generally rule higher, and, in sonic cases, including London and North Western, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire stock, and North British, they are espcciall• heavy. Where this is the case, some degree of depression has re .ulted, but the market, on the whole, shows much steadiness. Most of the business concluded has been in connection with the closing of the old account, and has rendered the market sufficiently active. 6111.4115* AIM Or ens N.llb. Usi.v.••••rraKu.

The market, which fell consideralply-mi the ,M -nounerment that Lord Stanley had taken charge of forming an administration, has improved to-day on at-count of the difficulties which seem to prevent Nuch an undesirable consummation, and the hope, which is laroming stronger, of a free trade administration under Lord Clarendon. The rate of money is easier to-day. and the govern ment broker has continued his purchases, being also circumstances favourable to an upward turn, and there can be little doubt that, hut for the ple4ent anomalous position of political attliirs, a sensible advance would have occurred in the home funds.

The settle ment of the fortnight's account engages a good deal of attention, and the business has conse quently been upon a very small scale, and comprises scarcely a single bargain for the new account, which is fixed for the 14th of March.

The following communication front Mr. Wens ' eiller has been received by the committee of Spanish bondholders : Madrid, February 19, 1851. Monsieur le President,—l have the honour of receiving your letter of the 11th instant, also that of Mr. Collett of the 12th, informing me of the resolutions agreed upon at the meeting of the bondholders which Wil.hehl on the latter date. I forwarded your enclosure to his Excellency the Minister of Finances, and at the same time addn•ss,d a let ter to him, a copy and translation of which yuu will find enclosed. I hope that our united efforts will result in the ameliora tion of the coupons in arrear, and you may rest assured that I will make all imaginable etkorts to attain this end. All to the explanation that you ask me to give concerning what in the project of law is not very clearly stand, if the half-yearly payments on the New Three per Cont. Deferred will take place here or in London, I have already had the honour of informing you in my private loiters that tho government wishes to await the result of the trial concern ing the attachment put on the funds sent to London fur tho last half-yearly payment of the 3 per cent., before coming to a decision on the point. I have already endeavoured to make the government uuderstand that the last means to avoid these attachments would be to pay monthly the dividends, in which CAW the English law dos, not permit these sequestration', and, in consequence, that it depends on the government only to avoid fur the future these disagreements in settling and paying its debts. Howes cr, if the government was definitively to lose the trial iu question, I !car that it would then insist upon doomi ciliating at Madrid the payment of the dividends upon rim New as well as the Not f lute per Cents. Nesertheless, I shall still insist that the payment of the dividends shall con tinue to lie pull in 1.6011(illII, and I regret that in order to give more weight to my representations on this subject, you did nut mention it in your letter to the -minister, nor in the resolutions adopted ut the meeting. (The terns were ac cepted only upon this condition.—Jas.
