The aye s-see of the 10 corresponding weeks was 901, which, if cor reeled for a...mined increase of populatiou, becomes 98G. Above this estimated result there was an increase Lest week amonntint to 89. l'omponsel with that of the pre ee.lin g week, when the deaths were 998. the pt . : emit return exhibits an increase in the :ramie or epidemic. anti the tubercular closes of fatal cliwasee, and in Gmee di.ravr which affect the respiratory WltaalThe ;termitic else, uualiereil 217 deaths in the pre vious week, awl li is how risen to 232 ; the difference arising almost exelueirely frotn which has nearly doubled its number acmes within the fortnight.

Other diseases which have last week been augmented in their fetal effects are, consu.uption, which rose in the last two weeks from 108 to 139 (the latter number not being far freers the average), and pneumonia, or indammution of the tunes, which from 42 to 90. The increase to this Letter disease has been chiefly confined to children ; and bronchitie the mortality Innis which is spread more equally over all airs, actually shows a decrease. It is shown by a comparison of deaths at di ff erent periods of life that both the youthful and aged portions of the com muuity, hut chiefly the former have latterly contributed nl4le than the usual ansount mortalay, while the ranks of the middle-3g supply less than the average number of deaths for this a a-on of the sear.

Mr. Locke applied fur a consent for this TRW to be post poned as a remanet to the neat court day in May, without prejudice to the writ of prohibition in the Court of Queen's Bench; and the subpccuas to squid good for the postpone ment. The Recorder said his band was tied by the prohibition, and he could do nothing. Mr. Randall, who was counsel for the other side, said, being junior counsel, he could nut consent to any arrange ment ; perhaps the senior counsel might. Mr. Locke said it was precisely the arrangement made on a former occasion. The Recorder said he could not take any steps in it, but he thought it a reasonable and wise arrangement. The matter then dropped. WINDING-UP OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. Sl.lOO ASO SHANNON HAILWAS.—Mondav be fore his Honour Master Farrer, a claim for 3,3201. en gineering was brought in by Mr. M'Kenxic, in whose favour an award had been made against the company prior to the order for winding up. A shareholder urged that, inasmuch as a portion of this claim had been incurred on behalf of the Sligo Ship Canal Company, purchased by the directorai of the railway company under their act of parliament, but the validity of which is disputed. the shareholders in the railway . company ought not to he called upon to pay fur ex- 1 penses in the ship canal comp:inv.—Mr. Devonshire, soli eitor for Mr. Coleman, the official manager, said it was alleged by the directors that the two s chemes formed one, ' and that, under the powers of the respective acts of puha- meat, a purchase or amalgamation had been made; but,l inasmuch as the point raises.' was an important one, he re- 1 quested an adjournment iu order that the provisions of the acts of parliament might be looked into. The meeting was then adjourned to 6th May. Other claims to the extent of about 3,000/. have heen brought in. IkrVEit, HASTINGS, AND IiItIGHTON RAILWAY. — Monday, before his Honour Master Brougham, the names of certain alluttecs who had paid the deposit on their shares, hut had nut skrued the deed, were struck off the list, Mr. Norris, the official manager, being directed to take the ease upon appeal to the court, the Master, in view of the deci sion in Maudsly'a ease, deeming a decision in favour of their exclusion doubtful. The name of Mr. Dwell was placed upon the list in respect of 100 shares, on its being rend t ha t he had acted and signed a cheque fur 5001., in to esideuce tendered at a previous meeting, it was sworn that he did not interfere in the affairs of lb. company. HANWEN IKON COMPANY.—MonanT, on the ttp• Oration of counsel, his Honour Master kinder-ley con sented, on cause shown to the contrary, to suspension s( the issue of attachment for payment of calls, a power con ferred upon the official manager, Mr. Adron, under the act. The Master also intimated that he hell it to the dis cretins of the of manager. Mr. Wilkinson opposed for three-fourths of the shareholders, en the ground of lomat cieney, to accept an offer that hail been mole of 7501. foe the purchase of the company's property and plant, which if done will go in discharge of liabilities. STAFFORDSHIRE AND SIIItoPSIIIRE RAILWAY. —Ycater day, on the application of Mr. Daniel, who appeared as counsel for Mr. Archibald, and with the consent of Mr. Roxburgh, fur Mr. Hutton, the official manager, his Honour, Master Richards, consented to a re-hearing of Mr. Archibald's case, either on the present or any further evi dence. Mr. Archibald propsraul to call the secretary and one or more of the directors to prove that lie had authority to withdraw the fund i n dis p ute out of the Commercial Bank. Mr. Starway, the secretary of the company, had been served with a summons to give evidence, but did not appear, and the Muster granted the official manager a certi- Beate of default, to enable him if necessary to apply to the court above to compel his at:end:ince, or nu the other hand to commit him fur contempt. His Honour said that in jus tice to Mr. Archibald he should not deliver judgment in the matter until an opportunity had been given for examination' of these witnesses. Mr. Archibald contended that he had authority to withdraw the funds, and that if enslit was dne to any cow for saving what funds of tli o company rema ined, it was due to his individual exertions. It would have been well for the company if, when he discovered that it was one of the greatest " bubbles," he had been permitted to carry ' out his own plans. Ile interpascd to call the shareholders together to examine their own affairs, and this amounted for the persecution to which he was now twin/ exposed. He was ready with a clear eonscience to account for all the motive. The meeting was then aajoUrnctl to Tuesday, thy 6th May. and REPRESENTATION Os' NORTn is that Lord Henry Chulmondeley will come forward in con junction with Mr. l'ortal, on the conservative interest, as a candidate for the representation of the northern division oil Ilampshire, in the place of the present Speaker of the House of Commons, who it is expected will be elevated to the peerage.—Nolisbury Journal. At:GILES-SION.— MEETING OF LIVERPOOL raOTESTANTS.—Yesterday, at noon, a Very numerously-'. attended public meeting, co nvened by the I.iverpoul Pro-1 rstant Executive Committee, took place in the Royal Am- 1 phitl.catre, for the purpose of supporting the protestant ' me mbers of the house of Common . suns a, shall effectually secure civil and religious liberty t o all claws , of her Majesty*" subject., and which will preserve inviolate the protestant institiitiona of the country. The A mphitheatre was respectably filled long before the hour annou nced for taking the chair, end the various members of the committee were loudly cheered at they made their appearance on the platform. T. Y. Ilonfall, Esq., who was rane.l to the chair, regretted the necessity of culling the meeting. The inefficient race ame submittal to parliament by the government had dwindled down in committee to a mere protest, and they were met to-day to express their determination to sup port only such reprasentatives as would resist aggression by practical mean., instead of by mere ineffectual protests. — F. Shand, Esq., moved the first resolution, which was to the e ffe ct that the measure proposed by government was wholly Math quate to meet the necessities of the ease, and, that they &steed publicly to express their earnest anxiety concer ning the progress of the Emlesiastical Title. Dill in committee, convinced that nothing would no effectually', tend to the peace and honour of the country a, such plain, and unequislieal legislation a, will _preserve in their integrity our protestant institutions. The resolution was I seconded by E. Brodribb, Esq., and received with great i cheeriug.—.lra Valentine Smith moved the lacuna reso lution, which represented that as a nation they were indebted. under Gad, to our protestant institution , for the many temporal and spiritual mercies the country had en joyed ; and, believing that the tone of legislation and course at policy pursued for sour year, past have tendered greatly to weaken thoee iustitutious, the meeting is of opinion that they have now reached a crisis which imperatively calk upon the protestant' of the empire to declare, and to net upon their determination, to make the divine law of pate mount importance in their national politics. Mr. Smith PAS p r oceeding with his address upon the resolution, when he suddenly fell down in a fit, and was removed from the meeting. The 11ev. Dr. aPNeile aecanded the resolutiodly n in a long and elo q uent address, which was lou alauded. The thi resolution WaS moved by the Rev. Mr. Newstead, r d to the purport that , considering the constitution and rule.. of the House of Commons, and the power possessed by an anti-English faction to obstruct any government where partiea are nearly balanced, this meeting will endeavour to secure the return of members possessing true protestant principles. The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously, and after a vote of thank* to the chairmau the meeting separated. A N IMPUDENT ROBBERY was perixtrated at the Royal Hotel , at Birmingham, yesterday morn i n g. About seven o'clock a fellow of gentlemanly exterior walked in at the front door, proceeded straight up the stairs into a bed room in which • gentleman was in bed ; in a moment or two he returned, and made his exit as he entered, passing several of the servants. It gold subsequently disco - vered that he had taken a sum in go and notes, amounting to about 301. from • pocket-book in the drawer of the room which he entered, leaving a gold watch and other article' untouched. Curiously enough, the gentleman robbed lay awake at the time the thief entered the room, but fiasylal it was his servant took no notice of his movements. end a still more remarkable circumstance connected with thit occurrence was, the fact of the servant rictus/1g maw ep against the thief just after be had quitted his maseer's team. and begging his pardon for the apparent rudeness. Tha suspicions of the servants had also been excited, sod as thief was watched down the street, but at that time robbery had not been discovered ; it was not until mega time afterwards that the gentleman robbed discovered that his servant was not in the room at the time he believed Wm to have been, canard the drawer to be searched, yams dm property above referred to was im mediatel y mimed. • person enswering dee description of the thief left by Me el tie early north Innis, probably for Chaster. -To be GREAT NORTHERN OF FRANCE RAILWAY. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of this company took place on Monday, in one of the great rooms belonging to the Paris terminus, Baron James de Itothschild, the president, in the chair. M. Baude having read the report of the committee appointed to examine the accounts of 1849, which, that document declared, were in every way correct, M. E. Pereire read the report of the I hoard of directors, which commences by observing that the shareholders assembled on this occasion for the first time I since the entire termination of the works of the railway. I The last section of the line—that of St. Quentin—was opened to the public on May 23, 18.50; all the stations are terminated; two lines of way are laid down in every part of the undertaking ; and as anthem works have been executed with the capital hitherto paid up, the board is able to con finn the statement already made that tho capital will not exceed 400 fr. per ah- re. The general account of the ex pensea will remain at 203 millions, of which 160 millions proceed from the money paid up by the shareholders; 40 millions represent the sums to be re-imbursed to the state by annual payments ; and the remaining 3 millions will he supplied from the reserve prescribed by the statutes. The debt to the state, which, when the revolution of February broke out, amounted to 54,711,667 fr., was on 31st of last December only 31,312,229 fr. All the payments to the treasury were eft'ected by anticipation; the 10 millions reimbursable in the course of 1850, and the last date for which was Nov. 16, were paid on an average on March 24; the 1 millions due in 1851, up to the present time, were also paid befor&rand, one part from May 10 to July lof List year, and the other half front February 4 to March 6 of the present year. The debt owing to the state is consequently reduced to 29,312,2291 r., intenst included. The board has paid, since 1804, ,000,000 fr., and has in addition in hand 6,877,916 fr. in treasury bonds, taken in December last at .5 per cent. interest. The report then enters into a detailed account of the expenses it incurred during the past year, from which it appears that, as the whole sum remaining to be expended on lk camber 31, 1849, for the principle line and the branches to Calais, Dunkirk, and St. Quentin, amounted to 11,819,02Gfr., and, as a sum of 4,531,4 681 r. was paid in 1850, there remained still to be paid on Deeemour 31, 1850, a sum of 7,283,557 fr. The money expended in 1860 related principally to the completion of the St. Quentin line; the definitive construc tion of the stations of Calais, St. Omer, and Douai; the en largement, as foreseen, of a number of stations and goods' yards; and, finally, the construction of stock. The com munication of the line with the docks has been car ried considerably further down the quay, amid now per mits goods to be transferred at once front the waggons of the railway to the vessels ready to receive them. This amelioration produces a considerable saving, and facilitates the development of the relations with England, particularly in the exportation of flour, which is every day increasing. The whole sum expended during the year 18,4 amounted to 16,635,466 fr. 83c., of which the following wits the employ- Iment :—Construction of principal line, 782,20 {fr. 2c.; ditto lof branch lines, 3,119,16 fr. 45e.; ditto working stock, , 634,0291 r. 36e. ; payments to the state, 12,000,000 fr. The report then proceeds to give an account of the working for the past year, and states that the n..sults have been must favourable, as all the branches of revenue have experienced a notable improvement. The following table will give an idea of this amelioration : 1616. 1810. !WA), Pserena , re Go,,ds by einkic train.

The quick is trains prescut a total augmentation of 24 per cent., and the U I slow trains one of 20 per cent. In looking at the receipts Ise; of the stations, it is tumid that those on the frontiers have increesed by far the most—those of Quie vrain art 40 per N: cent. higher ; Dunkirk, 38 per cent. ; Calais, 224 per tent.; and Mouserun, 71 per cent. The report remarks that, it a 134 I more intelligent system of customs were established, this in- 2 0 crease would doubtless even be still more considerable. The expensto have by no means augmented in proportion to the ;; 4 increase in the receipts, as from being 7,386,4341'r., they are I only 8,837,1165 fr. in 18:10. The augmentation in the items se of the central administration, division of working, anal to divsion of repairs, is only 143 per cent., and in the division 2 of stuck and workshops, the charges which arc in more di- reit connexion with the tratfic, 24 per cent. And even this ; ' ' latter charge has during the p ast y ear been unusually high, 3,t in consequence of the extraordinary repairs rendered ne bs c..ssury iu the carriages, the state of which had suffered more than ordinarily from the perturbation caused iu the 141 - workshops in consequence of the revolution of February. 1, 5 This item during the present and ensuing years will re- si. • turn to itigeneral level, the stock now being in the must perfect state of repair, with the introduction of all the im- 4 provements calculated to increase the power of the locoing.. tives, and to reduce the consumption of coke, Se.

There was paid to the shareholders on July 1, 1850, and January 1, 18:31, as interest at 4 per cent. for the year IMO, 16fr. per share. The dividend will amount to Ste., giving for each share for 1850, 241 r. The dividend of tifr. n ill be 9 2 paid at the same time as the interest of the first half y ear of " 18.51, which will raise the sum to be received on the Ist && of July next to 16fr. per share. The establishment of the electric telegraph on the line is then alluded to, and is 30 spoken of as highly advantageous to the service in simplify- 33 ing all the details of the working. The plan of receiving „, shares in ilepiot for the shareholders had been found to answer perfectly, the number ut present in sada keeping I being 61,482. The Northern Company had purchased, in conjunction with that of Strasburg, nine hectares of land situated beta ein the Paris termini of the two lines. 61 The two companies addressed, on October 25t1i, 1810, to the 7Olinistior of Public Works au application for permit.- && short to establish a junction line between the two main lines. The application was referred to a commission, which thought 40 it necessary on the occasion to discuss the bases of a general junction line for all the railways having a terminus in Paris. In consequence, no definitive answer has yet been given to al the demand made ; all that the Northern and Strasburg St companies wanted was a ready means of communication be- 4 1 !, tween their lines, which they wer e q uite willin g to edict at " their own expense , and the cost of a bleb would not exceed 3i from 60,000 tr. to 811,000 fr. The establishment of such a line oti was altogether independent of a general junction line, and would, if executed, save both companies very considerable 6 1 expense. As the matter was so simple in its nature, the board would continue its representations on the subject to the government authorities. In the last piece, the report alludes to the improvements lately established in the corn- Ili munications with England and Germany. The traveller *I ran now leave Paris at half-post seven in the evening, and et arrive in London at a quarter to eight the next morn. and can go over the whole distant* from Paris to Edinburgh, 1,211 kilometres. or 752 English miles, in less than 2(1 hours. Also, from the Ist of May such additional rapidity - rapidity was to he imparted to the service to Germany, that 66 1 the journey front Paris to Berlin would be effected in Ili 10 hours, and from Paris to Cologne in 171 hours. Likewise, 6 by Calais from Berlin to London, he 40 hours, and from 11. Cologne to London in •221 hours. fb After the reading of the report had terminated, 3 M. l'epin-Lehalleur read a short report from the ad- 2 * ministrative committee on the accounts presented for 1850. ri It stated that they had been most carefully drawn up, and that the committee could recommend to the meeting to • adopt them in full confidence. The conclusions of the report of the committee on the 16 accounts of 1819 were then approved of, and the accounts 21 declared to be definitively passed. i 7 The accounts just presented for 1850 were then pro visionally approved of, as was the dividend of Sfr. per share 17 proposed, mud the same committee was appointed to amine them as had examined those of 1849. The out-going directors, MM. Ilottinguer, Canard, Dossier, F. Baring. and 1/alon were re-elected unanimously. Leave was then given to the board to sell certain por tions of laud now deemed useless to the company, and the pureltar , e, in conjunction with the Strasbourg company, of certain ground to effect a junctionoline between the two railways, woo approved of. The CHAIItMAN, in answer to a question asked rela tive to the payment of the dividend, stated that any share holder could fir at once pain the amount coming to him, on a discount of 4 per per cent., the rate of interest at which Treasury bonds were held by the companies being 4 per cent. (Marks of satisfaction greeted this announcement). The meeting then separated. TIRE STOCK EXCITANGE.—The Exhibition excites the more interest on the Stock Exchange, as the ht of May is always observed as a holiday there, on account of the half-yearly balancing of the books at the Bank of England. The holiday at the Bank, however, is one to the clerks and not to the employe's, who will have a hard day's work at the books. The Stuck Exchange members will be able to attend the Exhibition ceremonies with the igh ter hearts, as Wednesday is what is called a settling day, and a number of accounts will be closed up. COURT OF COMMON COCNClL.—Yesterday ncourt was held.—Mr. White gave notice of motion to the effect that the eminent foreigners in town upon tbe occasion of the Great Exhibition be invited to an entertainment to be given by the corporation. BAIL TVA THIS DAY. Two o'Ctocz. This being " settling day" in shares, the fi nal ad justment of the balances arising out of the fortnight's account has been in progress. The market preserves its firmness of tone, and in many instances higher prices have been paid than could be obtained at the close of yester day's market. London and North Western stock has experienced a considerable rise, and Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshires, North Staffords, York and North Midlands, and South Eastern, also show an upward tendency. IHARF.4 AND smogs UNGITARANITTID. THIS DAY. Two o'CLoca. There is a moderate amount of business going for ward in the English stock market to-day, and the transactions include a further purchase of Reduced Threes by the government broker. Prices opened with a flat appearance, with Consols quoted at the extreme depression of yesterday, the first price being 961 to 1 1 , and selling operations were soon effected at the lower fraction, both for money and time. More confidence, however, has since become manifest, and the quotation has rallied to 961 to I, both for cash and the 13th of May, at which range the market wears a much steadier aspect.

The foreign stock market continues quiet, with little business beyond the final settlement of the account. Prices, nevertheless, are quoted steady, and the explanations, as given by this morning s Daily Nears, of the Mexican advices received New York, and of the tenour of which some doubt was entertained among the bondholders, owing to the manner in which the ne ws is g enerall y copied from the vague accounts of the United States jour nals, have imparted an upward tendency to Mexican Bonds, the price marking as high as 35. 1 .

Bills being more in request than they have been during the last fortnight, tlx quotations experienced a slight decline. Short l'aris was dune at 23.2'i to 3 ; long, at 25.2'21 to 23.23. Ilamburg was in great demand, several houses which are usually drawers coming forward as buyers; it wan negotiated as low as 13.71, but may lie quoted 13.7 1 , to S. Amsterdam, at 13.16! to 17, is a shade lower. Frankfort remained without alteration, us did also bills on Portugal and Spain, but Italy was lower, especially Genoa, which left off 23.424 to 171• Vienna and Trieste were dealt in on terms more favourable to sellers, since the late continued fluctua tions in the Vienna exclumges bring speculative buyers into the market. The case of the forged bills of lading, which we were the first to announce, is now creating much excitement. The Bunker's -llngazine says: We have to caution our readers that attempts have been made to raise money in some of the sea-port towns, on forged bills of lading, and forged acceptances, purporting to be given chiefly for foreign corn. M e believe the parties have not been successful in obtaining pOsSOSiall of any cash on account of the bills; but they have nearly done so in some instances ; and pariles taking bills of lading for advances, will do well to exercise caution before discounting the acceptances accompanying them. The Dublin Freeman's Journal however gives a different statement as to the results, and which we believe is more correct. It states: A most extraordinary case of fraud in the corn trade has come to light this week, by which several parties here will be severe sufferers. It appears that a house in Ghent ob tained advances from various houses in London, Liverpool, Belfast, and Dublin, upon bills of lading for cargoes of corn, which bills of lading it now turns out are either fictitious or forgeries, and the parties here are left completely minus. Amongst the sufferers here are Messrs. ltcrrins and Wright for 1,3001., another house for 1,6001. A house in Liverpool is a sufferer fur 5,000/. ; and it is said that the entire amount obtained by this successful raid was about 60,000/., while the parties have levanted, and nothing is forthcoming for the creditors. It is difficult to imagine how shrewd men of business here and elsewhere could be so taken in, but it is partly to be accounted for by the intense competi tion in the corn trade. It shows, however, the utterly valueless character of bills of lading fur goods. As we have beard the case, the conduct of the merchants has not been so exempt from prudential consideration as is here implied. The bills of lading being duly authenticated by the consular certificate, suspicion would not readily suggest itself ; but even when suspicion was excited by the non-arrival of cargoes, and agents were sent to inquire on the spot, they were shown the ships about to sail. One form of the transaction was to represent one ship, as the Mary Ann, for instance, clearing out fur several CAIIFORSIAN GOLD.—At Professor Tennant's last no ports, an said d to with severalthanes' names o. five -As there are be lwenty r lecture upon upon mineralogy, at King's College, he exhibited, by permission the largest lump of Californian gold yet twenty of these bills of lading , it is ur g ed brought to this country.

South aterns were doae at 261, and Great Westerns scarcely aat 301. Thee were the only variations,. A NEW PLEA Yule A NEW FWD.—The moisture contained in the grain [of Ir.dian corn] is an acid. When the shell of the grain is broken this moisture forms an oxide, all the sweet qualities of the grain disappear, and a had flavour is substituted. Whether the meal came over ground, or merely broken, or kiln-dried, before it sailed, the effect pas much the same, and people naturally concluded that the mischief was done by bringing the meal over the sea. The case was thus supposed to be hopeless, and the " yellow meal," as the Irish call it, was regarded as a mere refuge, and an odious one, from starvation. 'Phis is now found to be a mistake, and, long as it will probably take to remove an im pression so reasonable, it may be worth while to declare that Indian corn flour may now be had in a perfect state, as wholesome and pleasant as any other flour, and so cheap p to make it an object of serious importance to establish the facts of the case. A Mr. Stafford, in America, discovered the cause of the mischief, and invented a process by which the acid moisture of the grain is evaporated, without injury to any of its other constituents. The meal is passed over warm cylinders, and comes away almost as incapable of de• terioration as sand. It has been shut up in a garret for two years ; it has been carried round the world, without losing its sweetness and delicate flasour. This meal can now be sold at two-thirds of the price of the best wheaten flour. With the addition of the cost of carriage into the country, it may be reckoned at less than three-fourths of the price of wheaten flour. Owing to the exertions of the Ameri can minister, and others in London, an extensive trial is in progress there; and here and there, in country districts, a cask has been distributed among neighbours, who im mediately become anxious to know how they can obtain the flour regularly. But, as yet, little is done towards intro ducing it where it is most wanted—among the Irish, who aro still lingering on towards the grave, and the Scotch, who are in some parts . sinking under the prospect of death by famine. In the island of Skye, the weather was tempes tuous last summer. The harvest season was wet; the potatoes failed as completely as in Ireland in 7; few of the peasantry have seed corn or pots •• . w ass daily driven to co nsume that w ‘" another year. it gloom hangs . the sinking people.
