A eme rge: "In one important particular the London will be distinguished above all that have gone before it, and that is in the greater breadth of represen tative character which it will acquire ; for associated bodies who have never hitherto manifested a direct interest in the peace question are preparing to send their delegates on this occasion. As an illustration it may be mentioned that in a cathedral city, not of the largest aim, immures are in progress for the appointment of delegates from • public meeting for the city, from each of the religious denomina tions, from the Mechanics' Institute, from the Sunday School Union, and from the Auxiliary Poses Society of the place. These different bodies will be present by their re presentatives, and in a considerable number of pieces • similar course will be pursued. Loudon will be more ade quately represented than in any former congress, influen tial gentlemen having already signified to the committee their wish to be placed in nomination. On the continent the circular of invitation has been widely spread, and is awakening an extensive interest in the pub li c mind. A number of delegates have already left America for London, and more are expected by subsequent vessels." REPRESKYTATION OF BERKBIIIRE.—The following is a second letter which has been addressed by Mr. Pusey to the electors of Berkshire.—Gentlemen, — lt is right that se ace of your members I should respect fully address a few words to all my constituents on • matter which concerns yens as much as myself. You have heard before of hole and armee petitions, but it appears that a hole and corner elec. tian is now going on in your county. A certain number of ' , memo are to be written on papers, hawked about in your parishes, and thus you are to be saved the trouble of going up to the poll. This may be • very snug and convenient course, but does not seem to me quite constitutional. Ac cording to the ancient custom the Queen dissolves parlia ment, a writ is sent to the sheriff, who calls a county court, in which you hear the rival candidates; afterwards, if need be, you record your votes at your polling booths. Now, for the first time, a hull is issue d from some secret conclave in London, excommunicating all county members who will not bow the knee to the idol of Buckinghamshire, Mr. I Disraeli . and this bull is circulated by • synod sitting in the Upper Ship Inn, at Reading. Gentlemen, I protest against this foreign dictation. I uphold the royal preroga tive of dissolution against such almost Papal aggression, and call upon you to help me. As long uI - am member for Berkshire I will not do the bidding of the mem ber for Bucks. Ile can no more teach me what is good for ericulture than I can teach him the straight way to office. Gentlemen, indeed I cannot and will not turn Israelite. If you ask me why, I do not regard the honourable member u an Israelite himself without guile. It seems to me, gentlemen , that your own rights, as voters, are endangered by this attempt to smuggle a seat, quite as much as your member's character. In cum mom contests, customers do endeavour to control tradesmen ; yet, at least, there arc two parties in the field who watch each other's proceedings. But what protection is there for a vster in this new tangled contraband preens ? Yet, if ever there was a question on which the forty shilling free holder had as good a claim to the free use of his birth right as the tenant of four hundred, or the owner of four thousand acres, surely it is the price of his loaf. I warn you, gentlemen, that if you once allow this new kind of dictation, you will not merely permit your pre sent member to be stabbed in the dark, but you will impel foe the future the independent exercise of your own franchiees. After ell, what is this hurry about ? I see no chance Man election this year. Is it that my opponents think they have me at a disadvantage just now ? Are they afraid to let the chance slip ? But why are you to give your votes two years, perhaps, before an election takes place Bath year brings its change. Perhaps even am year hence yea might no longer wish for the young geadima wits very naturally seeks to relieve as. Tom might mkt am Misr candidate for your Myer.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1851. WINDING-UP OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. MERCHANT TRADERS' SHIP LOAN AND IN SURANCE COMPANY.-IMPORTANT AFPLICA - Yesterday a meeting* this matter was held before his Hearn dr Wiliam Horn.

The proofs had already been admitted by the Oommfiioaer in Bankruptcy, and he did not see how , _ wittiest • conflic ti ng jurisdicti on , h e cou ld amply with an application that would in effect be tanta mount to annulling the proceedings in bankruptcy. The application was an infinitely important one, and in the absence of all precedent difficult to deal with, the object of it being to undo what had been done by the Caratimiewer of Bankruptcy. The Writes-tip Act he took it did not put an end to what had been done by the competent jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Commis sioners, but left it as it were in state quo. Mr. Pcarac, of the firm of Maples and Pease, solicitors to the assignees, and Mr. Eldridge and others, opposed the application, on the ground that under the 7th sect. of the Winding-up Act the Muter had no jurisdiction in the matter. This objec tion taken by the learned counsel to the proof of them debts, and asking that they might be expunged, was also taken at the time in the Court of Bankruptcy, on the I ground that the policies in respect of them were effected between provisional and complete registra tion, and was overruled by Mr. Commissioner Hol royd, after a lengthened investigation. A dividend had been paid on the debts. Mr. Roxburgh replied that he merely asked the Master to exercise the 4uriedietiou of the commissioners, and to decide whether policies that had been effected before the company was legally in existence were to be declared as debts against the company. If so, it was a hardship on the shareholders. Under the recent de cisions no debts were recoverable against the shareholders where there was only provisional registration, and he had to ask the Master on behalf of the official manager not to receive any proofs against the company, which under the act must be done. There were upwards of 30,000 proofs.— Sir William Home said that the question having, as he viewed it, been settled by the Court of Bankruptcy, pro bably ell he would have to do would be to ratify the proofs with his signature.—Mr. Itoxburgh intimated that as the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act expressly saved the jurisdiction of the Winding-up Act, a point of this impor tance could not rest here ; he must therefore ask for a certi ficate of his Honour's decision, and adjourn the considera tion of the other questions—Mr. Kensit, the Master's chief clerk, granted a certificate to the effect that the Master de clined to entertain the application of counsel for the official manager to expunge the proof of these debts, on the ground that he had no jurisdiction. COMPRESSED Ant ENGINE RAILWAY COMPANY.— Yesterday, on the recommendation of Mr. Duncan, the official manager of this company's affairs, his Honour, Sir Wm. Horne, declared a return of 41. 9d. per share, to be divided amo ng st the shareholders in this company out of the wets realised. EXETER AND EXMOUTTI RAlLWAT.—Yeaterdny an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders was con vened at the George and Vulture Tavern, Comhill, for the purpose of taking into consideration the relations existing between this company and the London and South Western, and the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester companies, and to consider and determine upon the propriety of forthwith proceeding with or of abandoning the construction of the Exeter and Exmouth line. At the appointed hour Mr. E. Woolmcr took the chair, but only about a dozen gentlemen were present, and alter waiting for more than an hour a sufficient number had not arrived to constitute a legal meeting. Therefore no resolutions could be proposed, nor any formal or valid act be done. The con versation, however, naturally turned upon the position of the company's affairs, and in the course of it the following facts were elicited. A short time ago a circular, accompanied with a copy of the advertisement summoning the meeting of yesterday, and signed by Mr. Clench, the secretary, was by order of the direct... sent round to the proprietors, informing them that, pursuant to the resolu tions which had been passed at the meeting of shareholders in February last, the directors had held several conferences with the directors of the London and South Western Rail way, for the purpose of effecting a settlement of all ques tions between that company and the independent proprie tary of the Exeter and Exmouth line. That the result of the negotiation had been that they had assented to accept the offer by the S ou th Western company of ten shillings per share in full to such share holders as would agree to such offer before the 10th inst., provided the assents amounted to a specified number. That as the assets in hand, if rateably divided, would scarcely ex ceed half the amount of that offer, and considering the ex penses and difficulties that would be attendant upon wind ing up the affair, the directors recommended the pro. praetors to accept the offer. Such were the contents of the circular, and with it was forwarded to each shareholder a form, which, if he assented to the above settlement, he was to fill up and return to the secretary before the 10th of June, the offer not extending beyond that date, and which form expressed the willingness of the under- i signed to sell and transfer all his shares in the Bastes and Exmouth Railway to the London and South Western Company, or their nominee, in consideration of the payment of 10.. per share. Mr. Woolmer informed the shareholders present that although the meeting was informs!, owing to the legal number not attending, he might inform them for their satisfaction that outof the 11,600 shares constituting the company, he had already received from the holders of 10,43 shares assents to the proposed arrangement, and he believed they would receivelltUiS money in a very few days after. Thanks were voted to the chairman and directors, notwithstanding the informality of the meeting, and the proceedings terminated. ST. ANDREW AND QUEBEC HaTLWAY.—Tho select committee of the House of Commons have declared that the standing orders in the ease of this company may be dis pensed with, and that the parties may be permitted to deposit their petition fora bill this session. CAVALRY REGIMENTS FOR THE CAPZ.—It is re ported that another cavalry regiment, in addition to the 12th Lancers under orders, will go to the Cape of Good Hope in consequence of the unsatisfactory nature of the last intelligence. The 6th Dragoon Guards (carabiniers), is the first cavalry regiment which stands for foreign service and will be probably selected. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE. —On Friday last an inquest was held at Black Nutley, by William Codd, Esq., stoner, on the body of William Wynn, a small farmer, and constable of that place, who had committed suicide by cutting his throat. The case was attended by circumstances of an awful nature. The wound in the throat was so large that a man's double fist might be placed in it; but it appears that after indicting it on himself he actually walked a die taupe of 17 or 18 rods. The widow of the deceased stated that she first noticed indications of insanity in her husband on the previous Saturday, and on Wednesday last the out.. break leek plus, which terminated in his self-destruction. She reesuated the particulars of a long and futile strug gle whisk the bad on that day with the madman, for LL. of p••••••• 61•6 lirarip••••••1•••• 'of boa knives which was in the house.

As we anticipated, the progress of the arrange meats for the settlement of the account in shares, for which this is " continuation day," hes imparted a much improved feeling to the market. Prices are all firmer and higher, and in many instances the improvement is of a very marked character, over and above the rally which took place yesterday afternoon. The account is " bullish," but the rates of continuation to the next account are much lower than on the occasion of the last settle ment, a circumstance which tends to impart addi tional confidence. The traffic returns (of which we continue to furnish an analysis, under the head of " Money Market"), so far as published, are good. inlet Ditto wi . to Gt. , rt • par toTireirtWolots Wokv, sod Doily coaidulypd.,onoitheur.

The transactions in the English stock market have not been very weighty to-day, but just previous to the closing of the transfer-books of Consols which ; takes place to-morrow, a few investments have, been made, and upon the strength of these opera tions, and the continued purchases on account of the Sinking Fund, the market has advanced Z. Consols were called 971 to 98 for money at the commencement of business, but they have since im proved to 98 to k for cash, and 981 to Z for the open- mg of the 17th July, at which range the market wears a steady appearance. The business includes a few operations in the terminable Annuities, which are also about to close. The official statement of transactions is : Three per Cent. Consols, 97Z, 981; ditto for account, 17th July, 984 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 971, • New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 98Z, 1; Long Annuities, 1860, 7 15-16 ; ditto for 30 years, 1839, 7 1-16 ; ditto,lB6o, 7 9-16, "j. Bank Stock, 212. The unfunded securities continue unaltered. Ex chequer Bills, 1,0001., and 5001., mark 435. prem.; ditto small, 445. and 475. India Bonds, are without transactions to-day. In the foreign bond market the settlement of the account is beginning to occupy attention, and the new account, of the 27th June, is now open, but the actual bargains of the day have been few in number, and too unimportant to affect prices, except in Peruvian, which con tinue in demand, the price of the Active Bonds having reached 88. Buenos Ayres Bonds are looking down. The official list of transac tions comprises only : Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 66. Danish Three per Cents., 1823, 761. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 594 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 90/, I. Mexican Bonds for acct., 27th June, 341, 1. Peruvian Five per Cents., 1819, 871, 87, 88; do. for account, 88. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201, a. The traffic returns of the South Eastern Railway, for the last week, just made known, is very favour able. The amount is 15,1014 against 11,8311. in the corresponding week of 1830, showing an increase of 3,2701. average return per mile is 57•85/. against only 30-361. last year. The Lancashire and Yorkshire return is 3,0111. more, being 16,781/. against 13,7731. last year. The average return per mile is 61.331. agninst 60.60/. in 1850. The satisfactory results presented by the returns, so far as yet made known, augur well for the general development of the traffic. The London and North-Western and Great Western returns are understood to be likewise very good. The tendency in the market for foreign exchanges yesterday was downwards, in consequence of a small supply of bills. There was much inquiry for paper on Paris, Hamburg, and particularly Holland, but the prices asked being too unfavourable for buyers, comparatively speaking only a small amount was negotiated beyond the bills actually in the market for negotiation. Short Paris was done at 25 to 21; ditto, three months, 25.20 to 25. Amsterdam, 11.171 to t. Hamburg, 13.71 to t. Vienna and Trieste were a little lower, but Spain and Italy presented no variation. When making our report of the exchanges, we may mention that Mr. James Laurie has just pub lished several tracts on foreign exchanges, presenting the tables in a succinct form, which will be found useful in every counting-house. The merit is their portability. The return of fire assurance duties, which has been lately published, however convenient for tho financial purposes of the government, is not well adapted to show the business done by the several assurance corporations. We have, therefore, calculated the amounts, so as to present the extent of transactions of most of the companies, and it will be seen with satisfaction how vast are the operations of some individual institutions. That very old office the Sun figures for upwards of 133,000,000/. assured in England and Ireland, besides sums assured abroad, the aggregate business of that company being pro bably not less than 140,000,000/. assured yearly. The following rank as the largest amounts : Sun Plunnix County Alliance .. 85,220,592 Imperial 32,198,4.57 Globe Guardian At one and the same time this statement shows the enormous wealth of the country in moveable pro perty, and the energy of associated enterprise. The following shows the amount of general as surance paying duty, and the amount of farming assurance exempt from duty, effected by each London complexly : Omni Farming Total. lasuraoce. Stuck.

FIRE AT TILE LOW-MILLS, KEN DAL.—KENDAL, JUNE 10.—A disastrous fire occurred last night at the mill of Messrs. John Ireland and Co., woollen and linsey manufacturers, known as the Low-mills, situate on the river Ken, about half a mile south of this town. The premises consist of two separate mills, adjoining each other, one of the buildings being in the occupation of Mr. Ireland, and the other, at the back of the former, being occupied by Messrs. Caleb, Metcalf, and Son, also extensive manufac turers of limeys, &e. The fire broha out in Mr. Ireland's mill, about seven o'clock p.m., in the upper story, and such was the rapidity of the flames that before the engines, three in number, could be got down to the spot, it was manifest that nothing could save the mill where the fire originated. In a short tune the building, which consists of three stories, and has a considerable frontage, was in a white glow of fire, and the roof fell in, carrying with it the flours and the whole of the machinery to the bottom. Nothing remained but to save the portion of the premises occupied by the Messrs. Metcalf, which, in consequence of its being diverted from the mill by a double wall,w as, but not without great diffi culty effected. The mill was not at work when the fire broke out, it being the principal Whitsuntide holiday. The we believe, was insured to the extent of 3,0001. A large body of workpcople will be thrown out of employment by this disastrous occurrence. Mr. John Ireland is the most extensive exhibitor among the Kendal contributions to the Great Exhibition in Class 12, (woollens and worsted). The exertion of the townspeople of all classes in assisting to ex tingnish the fire was most praiseworthy.
