( t numerous meeting of merchants, dealers, brokers, and others, took place at noon, at the Com mercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-bum, to take into con sideration the present high duty on tea, and to adopt measures for securiug its reduction. The chair was taken by Mr. SAmryt Curoson, M.P. ; and among those present were Mr. T. Baring, M.P., Mr. Western Wood, M.P., Mr. White, ?LP., Mr. Hodgson, M.P., Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Mr. Lindsay, HP, The Citinuis.e, in opening the prooriedtsgs, said it was not necessary for him to speak of the import ance of the subject, or of the necessity of taking steps to promote the object. In 1847, a committee of the House of Commons recommended that the duty should be minced. (Hear, hear.) When the duty was 2e. 2d. per lb. it yielded 5,110,000/. ; when it had been reduced to Is. 3d. the reveals' amounted to 5,600,0001., showing that a diminution of duty led to increased consumption. At present, the average consump• lion of tea was 314 per head per annum, while in countries I where the duty was much lower the consumption amounted la 12 or 131bs. per head. The first resolution (given with the other in the /Express d yesterday) complaining of the grievance arising from a tigh duty on tea, having been moved by Mr. T. Bum, 31. P., and seconded by Yr. W. It, Ca•wrour, M.P., was adopted unanimously. Mr. HODGSON, M.P., moved the next resolution, which celled upon the Chanoellor of the Exchequer for an Mune. fate reduction of the duty on tea, especially as sd. par lb. of the present scale had been acknowledged for the last six 'tars to be a war duty, which ought to be withdrawn when ia opportunity offered. This resolution was seconded by Mr. TWINE:NG, and greed to. Other resolutions, in acoordsuoe with the object, were also passed. GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) The half-yeerly meeting of the proprietors was Geld at 1 °Week, at the Loudon Tavern, Mr. Holum Locs in the chair. The r eport having been take! u lea". The Cismumus, in moving its adoption, said they now met for the fiat time since the amalgamation, and it would be well to consider of what the united l nee consisted. lie this described them in detail with the aid of a map. Seven companies were em braced in the Great Eastern system; in all there were 644 wiles of ground belonging to the Great listen proper, and in addition they were working 64 miles, making • total of 708 mdse. The revenue of the. last half-yesr realised the expectations of the direstan, and amounted to 801,0001. The total umber of pemengen carried during the half year was 5,800,000/. The expenditure during the half year amounted to 363,0001., leap 430,0001., to be applied first in the payment of motel dividends of all kinds, and afterwards dividends on the old shares. The cost of waking dean the half year was only a little over 45 per mot., which was very satidactary hi comparison with previous rake of expediters. During the half year many badmen hid bees renewed with im proved materials, iron and resse being substituted for wood. This kind of hameeement would con bane, and 7,0001. per mum would be set apart for it. Nine engines had been renewed. After all this there remained • dividend of 24 per cent. on the consolidated stock, leaving • balance al 17,0001. That ram was reserved became it had been arranged that, provided the Bast Suffolk should turn out better than had bees supposed, there should be something to meet its claim on that amount. The quahog had been under arbitration, and he believed that Captain Galton, the arbitrator, would give his decision next week. He then re ferred to the new arrangements recently made with regard to fares, and the increased facilities afforded to pas angers. The suburban traffic within twenty miles of London amounted, he said, to one- ixth of the whole, and efforts were being made to foster it. The meters traffics especially required to be fostered, and during the last six moths the season and house tickets had been considerably reduced. Such measures must improve the revenue of the company, and he anticipated that, large am the growth of MS° had been for some time past, it would now Mame in • greater ratio. He then referred to the rela tions of the with other companies, and more parti cullary the Griot °ethers Compsay, with wham he said, an agreement hnd been entered into for 14 yews, under which the Great Northern Company banded over the Rav enna and Hitehin lime to the Great Eastern Company for an annual payment of 16,8001. That sgrmmeat he said, had been religiously observed by the Great Company ,• bat he could net my the same for the other side, which, by sub sequently taking the Welling and Hertford line had M. "traded a portion of the Great Postern muffle. This had been a serene canoe of difference, sad he wee sorry to say it was not thew only cause of complaint. The thee had arrived when the agreement, which wee not easoliceed by =ant, should emu. As regarded extensions, it had obligatory on the board to promote one or two for the parries of protection. After mom diecumion the report was adopted, end the dividend reoommesded declared. SOUTH EASYSAN 11.AILWAY.--(1111S DAY.)

COVENTRY WIDDINO FAVOTIRIL —The looms of Coventry. which, till within the bet few weeks, were, in the majority of instances, standing idle, are now to a very great extent actively employed in the manufacture of ribbons for making up into rosettes for the royal a. Another advantage—and not the least of those which Coventry will reap from the present movement, as it affords some additional prospect of permanent employmeot in future—. arises from the fact that the stock of white ribbons in the hands of warehousemen and manufacturers has become utterly exhausted, and ea there is a constant demand, even in times of depression, for white ribbons for the trimming of ladies' bonnets, it necessarily follows that the weavers will have to work hard for a considerable time, in order to replenish that stock. The execution of orders for the usual spring trade have also, we believe, been to a great extent deferred in consequence of the pressure of business arising from the present extraordinary requirement of white ribbons. It will thus be seen, that there le every probability of the weavers of Coventry deriving very great and per manent advantage from the universal patronage which the country bee bestowed upon them on this occasion.
