The dividend of 9fr. was then voted, payable at the offices of the company, on and after October 1; the acccunts were apptoved of, and the out-going directors re-elected. ANISSON-DUFERRON, a shareholder, then ad ored the meeting on the advantages to be derived from Mugs( return-tickets, as was practised in England.

But in France nothing of the sort was to be seen, for tho inhabi tants of the country were principally agriculturists, seldom stirring from home, whilst the occupiers of the towns were equally unwilling to leave the spot where their business was carried on. the system, consequently, had not the same elements of success in France as in England.

The same authority draws attention to a circumstance of some interest at this period of emu lation between English and American shipbuilders. It appears that a British shipowner can claim for his vessel the performance of the swiftest passage on record to China, the beautiful clipper Chrysolite having made the voyage from Liverpool to Anjer in 80 days, being nine Ilya quicker than the most rapid passage of the far-fumed American clipper Oriental, which she was built expressly to compete with.

Two o'CLoci.. The business in the share market to-day, though not large, has been of a fair average character, and sufficient to keep prices steady at the late rise. In most instances quotations are about the same as they left off yesterday, but Great Westerns and London and North Westerns still show an improving tendency, and are both marked higher. Berwicks , York and North Mid lands, and East Laneashires, on the other hand, are a trifle weaker. The surprising steadiness with which the traffic is maintained at its high range materially contributes to increase the confidence of the dealers, and the rapid rise which has occurred wears every appearance of being supported, whilst in many quarters it is expected that if nothing intervene to check it, another period of speculative excitement in the share market will speedily come on, as the Into "bears" after doing their best to knock prices down for so long a penod, now appear to take up an opposite line of operations. ----- MIL RAVI.% tlr.• old-“tablished SURGEON- DitsTurr am C% P 1 Mt* et It mei Sear& Iwo 44 Meer= Ids sedews awl the .. be Ids a ** =l ll 'g bp 4% ST. els ItTL:4 tebess be may tre emeeterd es sh ems et brutal mem aid deldisstre el teak st Immo mederste ebsesee.

The de- embed peer, George (lough Cslthorpe, was son of the first holder of the first title, by Frames, daughter of General Carpenter. He succeeded his brother Charles, the second lord, in 1807. The deceased never married. He is now succeeded by his brother, the lion. Frederick Gough, born 1790, and who married, in 1823, Lady Charlotte Sophia Somerset, daughter of the sixth Duke of Beaufort, by whom he has bad issue several children. The family is a junior branch of the old family of Gough Hall, in the county of Stafford, of which Richard Gough, the celebrated anti quary, was a member. Sir Henry Gough, of Edgbaaton, near Birmingham, married Barbara Calthenv, heiress to her brother Sir Henry Calthorpe, K. 8., on wee death, in 1783, their sou henry, afterwards second baronet, assumed the name and arms of Calthurpe, as inheritor of the estates of Elberham, county Haute, and property in other parts of the empire. Sir Henry was the first peer. HEREFORD DIOCEt4AN EDUCATION MEETING.— The first meeting of this society, instituted in 1849, was held in the College-hall, yestermy ; the Lord Bishop in the chair. The treasurer (Rev. A. Clive) made a brief statement of the finances. The receipts were about 1,3001, and the expenses about GOOL—The Secretary (Rev. W. E. Evans) read the repot.—The Bishop expressed, in opening the proceedings, the regret and disappointment he felt at not having been enabled to term a " training school " for the diocese, but as that was found at present impracticable, they had succeeded in forming the next best thing, a " har vest school," fur training masters and mistresses under the master, and that from forty to fifty masters and mis tresses had availed themselves of such instruction for one month.—The Rev. W. Evans fully detailed the operations of the society. He stated the regret felt by the board that their funds prevented them from availing themselves of the liberal offer of the Worcester Diocesan Society in uniting with them in the benefits of their train ing school now in operation near Birmingham. The terms proposed, liberal as they were, would have exhausted all their capital, and would have yearly required thrice the amount of their present annual subscriptions—Lord Bate man said all the objections which he had at the onset enter tained against the society hail been; completely re moved, and he was able to say that the areMesecien7 of Salop would in future give a more ready support to the funds.—The Venerable Archdeacon Waring deemed secular education without being based on the Bible as per nicious, nail not calculated to benefit tho people. Ito referred to France as a confirmation of his view, and with great vigour and power defended the pro poeition of religious education, with a frequent at tendance of the clergyman in assisting the labours of the echoulmoter, and hoped that the principles of the Prayer book would be generally inculcated in the school. A lecture in the week and chatechetical instruction on the Sunday by the clergy would be productive of great good.—The Dean of Hereford declared he should have been better satisfied if Mr. Lomax, th e training master, had given • report as to the organised or disoessanmed state of the several sews he had Maud. us bad little faith in the reports of the rural deans and metr coadjutors, and should be better satisfied with a report from t he inspector, authorised from the Connell of Education. It was a fact that only two parishes in this county had placed themselves under government , inspection. That in the whole county there were only three pupil teachers. Ilu entered into parliamen tary and other returns to show the lack of education in ' this county as carinpared with the neighbouring counties of Wormier and Gloucester. Other gentlemen, including Lord 'aye and Sale, addressed the meeting, and the assembly di-teemed on the carrying of the business resolu tions for appointing the officers of tho board. A number of elegantly dressed ladies gave their presence to the un dertaking, nothing daunted by the inclement weather, for the rain rattling against the windows rendered some of , the speakers nearly inaudible. TfiE 3lEMlteits FUR YARMOUTH AND THEIR CON STITTENTS.—The reply of Mr. Itumbold to the requisition calling upon the members for this borough to resign their seats has this week been published by Mr. G. D. Palmer, who has been waiting until this time for the reply of the other representative, but none has been vouchsafed. The reply of 'Mr. Rumbold is as follows:—" Mr. Rumbold has received from Mr. Harrison a requisition signed by many . of the electors of Great Yarmouth, calling upon him to resign his seat in parliament for that borough. Air. Rumbold feels that nu observation on this proposal is required from him, and therefore simply declines complyi.o with it.-1, Eccle stone-square, Aug. 2, 1851.—T0 Dem** Denby Palmer , E aneNuricich Pod.

We may doubt if this step would have been even thus tardily talCen, but that the value of the discoveries has been so recently exemplified by Colonel Rawlinson, in rela- lion to the history of Ilesekiah and Sennacherib. The grant, too, is small, compared with the sums and means devoted to a similar purpose in the same country by the French go vernment; it es only very , recently that a new expedition of several ships, with abundant apmmnees, set sail from one of the French ports. Colonel Rawlimon is to imam diattly to Bagdad, where he is the resident of the India Company, and from thence be will go to any where his direetious may be needed, and where t h e best of future discoveries may be held out. He will alq keep Open the works already commenced, but he is to set entirely independently of Mr. Layard.

The CHAIRMAN replied it was furnished in virtue of the Arrangements Bill. The new stock created amounted to 667,0001., and they had that day forfeited shares to the amount of between 24.5,0001. and 240,0001. Mr. CAMPBELL, of Bedlay, seconded the approval of the report, which was unenimonsly agreed to. The CHAIRMAN moved that the directors be authorised to borrow, on mortgages and bonds, a sum not esceeding 800,0001. Mr. JOHNSTON seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. Mr. THORNTON, in complimentary terms, moved the appointment of Mr. huff as auditor for the preference shareholders, which was seconded by Mr. liallmter, and agreed to. Mr. ki'MICHAN moved that there be no Sunday labour on this line. Mr. Campbell moved the previous question. The vote was taken, when Mr. Campbell's motion was carried by 26 to 2i. A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. ROUEN AND HAVRE RAILWAY. Tho half-yearly general meeting of the share holders of this company took place on the 30th of Sept., in one of the large rooms belonging to the l'aris office, in the Rue d'Amsterdam ; M. Charles Laffitte, the, president, in the chair. Near him were seated the following directors : Mr. E. Blount, Mr. Reed, Mr. Thomas Mott, Mr. George I I Lawrence , M. Daily, and M. d'Altou Slice. The meeting having been declared duly constituted, M. Thibaudcau, litosesersi of the company, proceeded to read the report. This deeninent commences by declaring that the con struction-account amounted on the 28th of February last to 68,264,437 fr. 60c. Since then there has been expended a sum of 18,2811 r. 45c., of which 15,718 fr. sc. was for land purchased when the line was constructed, but only settled fur in the census of the last balf•year; 248fr.70e. for law ex pc Mel ; and 2,314 fr. 20c. for works at the stations. On the other hand, a stun of 5,861 fr. 83c. bad been received for sale of land and materien ; thus reducing the whole outlay under this bead during the half-year to 12,419 fr. 62c., and leaving the total of the construction-account, up to the 31st of August last, at, 8,276,857 fr. 22c. The receipts from March 1 to August 31, 1851, have amounted to 1,903,409 k. 10e., and the expenditure to 1,546,222 fr. le., leaving a profit of 357,187 fr. 9c., which, with the balance from the preceding half-year of 3,071 fr. 14c.,gives a total 100 of 360,208 fr. 23c., or Mr. per share for the half-year. An augmentation was to be seen in five items of the traffic, amounting in all to 27,8831 r., and a diminution in seven to the extent of i 22,9701 r., so that the augmentation presented a surplus of 14,893 fr. The passengers front Paris to London amounted, up to the 31st Aug., to not less than 31,664, giving a receipt of 63,354 fr. k but the ordinary circulation of passengers had diminished, in connqueuce of the general stagnation of bu siness, and the declassification from the tad to the 3rd class. The pleasure trains, which had given last year a circulation of 62,316 passengers, and a produce of ‘56,161fr., amounted during the present year to only 43,424, but giving a receipt of 59,8471 r.; so that, with a diminution of 18,89'2 passengers, the receipts had increased 4,686 fr. This improvement was owing to the greater number of tickets taken for tho second elaill carriages, in place of the third. The parcels traffic showed a slight improvement, and the merchandise traffic a dimininutiou of 9,389 fr., caused by a reduction of the charge of transport. The report states that, looking at the general multi of the half-year's working, there appeared but little diffareelee in them from those of the corresponding period of the year beim. It complains in very severe terms of the Illainallali anesser in which the willingness of the company to ecielltineedebr the public had been returned, frauds having been poetised to a considerable extent, by the sale of the tickets lewd to passengers proceeding to the London Exhi bition, awl by the pleasure-trains being used by own in bu siness ite their regular mode of conveyance for carrying on their loin. The cause of these abuses, and in particular of the firebsafintiesed one, was, it stated, to be attributed to the feettbat the law in France did eft arm the company with willeiest pewee W mesh herds. la lingland the ow wee veep dilleuna.

Although the general tenor of the accounts from ! the Continent is calculated tocreate uneasiness, under the influence of which the Paris Bourse is declining, I the English stock market is well supported. The closing rates of Console for cash yes terday was 961 to at which it opened this morning, but the usual purchase on account of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt carried it to 961, and the market is now steady at 96/ for money, and 96 1 to i„ for the account of the 14th of October. The steadiness with which prices are maintained at within a fraction of the highest point of the late advance, and this, too, in face of the unsatisfactory aspect . of continental politica, must be regarded as a convincing proof of general confidence in the soundness of our monetary and commercial position, notwithstanding the cases of individual em ba rrassment which have been from time to time brought to light, and which by some have been deemed to afford sufficient ground for the indulgence of gloomy anticipations of the future. The official business list to-day embraces the following only : Three per Cent. Consols, 961, 1, ; ditto for account, 961, Z. South Sea Stock, 108. There is no change whatever in the market for the floating debt, and very little business is going for ward. Only tke smaller amounts of Exchequer Bills have been dealt in, at 435. and 465. prem., whilst India Bonds also preserve their former quotation of 475. to 50s. prem. Business in the foreign investments is extremely limited, and confined to the execution of a few routine orders, as under present circumstances very few descriptions afford an opening for speculative action. The transactions of to-day are at former rates, and embrace the following stocks, viz.: Belgian Four and-a-Half per Cents.,934. Dutch Four per Ck•nt.Certs., 901 ex div. Mexican Bonds for account, 17th Oct., 27t. Portuguese Four per Cents., 32i. Russian Five per Cents., 1822, 1111. Spanish Three per Cents. for account, 37i. With the publication of the railway traffic returns for the last week we have again exhibited a large increase over the same period of last year, extending to all the leading lines, but chiefly shown in those having termini in the metropolis. The London and North Western return is 59,3381., against 48,033/. in the corresponding week of last year, being an increase of 11,303/.; the Great Western, 26,4451., against 18,0271.—increase, 8,4181. ; the London and South Western, 16,4461., against 11,6891.—increase, 4,5571.; the Midland, 24,346 L, against 24,313/. — increase, 331. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, 17,3891., against 16,0231.—increase, 1,3661.; the York, New castle, and Berwick, 15,816/., against 15,1461.—in crease, 670/. ' • the York and North Midland, 10,4 8 7/., against 9,4,31 /.—increase 1,0361.; the Great Northern, 14,2601., against 9,333/.—increase, 4,9271. The following prospectus for a land loan has been issued to-day : Prospectus of a Four per Cent. Swedish Loan to the Hypothecated Estate Association of Guthenburg.—For Hamburg Bco. 14k. 4,000,000—at 93 per cent. Negotiated by Messrs. Anderson Huber and Co., Hamburg; and Meows. John Bcrenberg Gensler and Co., Hamburg. This loan is issued on the security of landed property in Sweden, situated in the most fertile and productive pro-' vinces in the vicinity of Gothenburg, named lilfsborg Lan with Dahlsland, Gothenburg and Buhus Lim. 'fhc mort gage bonds on these estates possess priority of claim by the statutes of the association, sanctioned by Itoyal mandate. The advance is not to exceed one half of the value of such es tates, as fixed for the collection of taxes, and the buildings not being included in these valuations, are an important additional security. An official statement of the annual audit will be duly published, according to the statutes, in the Swedish Galwito. The bonds, which will be ready and pay able towards the end of this month, will consist et : Series A. 500 of 3,000 80. 14k. Beo. Idk. 1,500,000 „ B. 500 „ 2,000 „ „ 1,000,000 „ C. 1,000 „ 1,000 „ „ 1,000,000 „ 1). 1,000 „ 500 ss 50%000 3,000 Bco. Mk. 4,000,000 to bearer, but on application of the holder they can be in scribed in specific nature, and may also be re-transferred to bearer. The loan will be paid off at par within 40l years (agreeable to the plan of amortisation mentioned in the bonds) by half yearly drawings, of which three months pre vious notice must be given in the public journals. The re demption commences on the Ist of June, 1852, the directors of the association reserving the right, after the expiration of ten years, to pay off the remainder, or any portion thereof, at pan The half-yearly Coupons attached to the bonds are payable by the contractors at Hamburg on the Ist of June and let of December, as well as the drawn bonds, the holders of the latter enjoying the right to demand payment at Gothenburg from the association at the rate of exchange axed in the bonds. Application. addressed to the con tractors will be received and forwarded by FREDERICK. Stases, 3, Adam's-court, Old Broad-street.—London, Oc tober 1, 1851. It is very seldom that these estate or land loans have been offered in this market, having generally been disposed of at Hamburg, where they rank well as preferable securities. We give the details of the undertaking in full, because they will be regarded with some interest, not merely by commercial men, but others. These land loans for the provinces of Sweden and Norway have been the means of very slush improving the agriculture of those countries ; the money being obtained on eligible terms, a good security being offered, the dividends punctually paid, and the sinking fund rigidly applied. The applica tion of this system to the encumbered and other un improved estates of Ireland, has been strongly advo cated by many able men. Persons have been occupied, as customary, in dis cussing commercial difficulties, and more particularly in reference to one house ; but as the details are not of public importance, no advantage can result from enlarging upon them. The financial advices from Paris are of considerable interest, as though the exchange on London is un altered, the prise of gold is rising. For bar silver there is no market. At a time when so much anxiety is expressed in many quarters about the condition of the money market, it is of interest to know what our resources are. In this month dividends on English stocks to the extent of seven millions are payable, including the following bums : New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities £3,506,000 Three per Cent. Reduced Bank Stock Long Annuities 613,980 Annuities ending 1859 South Sea Three per Cent. Old Annuities 45,000 Besides these there is a considerable sum for divi dends on India Bonds. The amount of American stocks held by English capitalists is estimated at upwards of forty millions sterling, or two hundred millions of dollars, on which probably nearly one million of interest is now forthcoming.
