And the regulation seems to have been conceived in a spirit of routine which shows that no person of discernment has really examined the sub ject. The hist of these regulations is to lower the price of a fonign office passport to 7s. lid from two guineas and a half. This is very well ; but the Name old rule which has so long held good in Down ing-street is still enforced, which is, that no one can receive a Foreign-office paasport, unless he is known to the Secretary of State, or to some one who does know him. or is recommended by an eminent banker. According to late orders of the Prussian govern ment, no British traveller can pass Aix or get to the Rhine without an English passport. There arc no English passports save Foreign -ogee ones 1 conse quently no Englishman can visit the Rhine unless he knows somebody who may know Lord PiissEnscrox the week. or may know Mr. lima/tem next week, if that gentleman chances to bc the new minister for foreign affairs, or unless he may be so lucky as to have a banker. Now there arc thousands of English and of Irish who quit their native place and visit the continent, fur health or study, who have no means of arriving, even secondhand. at the acquaintance of a British Se cretary fur Foreign Affairs. Pi‘rsonages likely tocreupy Poch a post, are not men that make travelling ac quainbuitses. Yet travellers very respectable, though unable to lodge 100/. at a hanker's, have nut only a claim but a right to an English rt. The go veniment of this country , bounl ja : P° protect them at home, is also bound to give them what protection it can abroad; and government has no right to make any distinction of persons. The bare idea of doing so is an assumption worthy of being character ised in very strong lang,uage w if it were nut more pro bably the result of neglect. All that should be required for a passport in Eng land is a man's being identified. This is done through out the continent by the mover or the magistrate of his village or his district. Why should not the same he the Mae here? If the Foreign-office, indeed, is to give privileged passports, or the Home or any other office to give men cheap and vulgar ones, be it so, provided the vulgar one ensures protection ; that is the great point. We do nut admire such distinc tions, especially when distributed by public servants, paid by public money. We do not acknowledge their right to make a distinction that the law dues not make. Still, if the Foreign-office demand to prisierve its own 17/1/0018 00 very exclusively, some other office ought to be open, where Englishmen could, without trouble or exorbitant demand, .pro cure that written document which entitles a British subject to protection in foreign countries. let fur RAILWAY MEETINGS. SOUTH YORKSHIRE RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting Wile held at the London Tavern on Fiiday. Dr. Dymond, one of the directors, was called upon to preside. The report stated that " the revenue earned within the half year leaves a net balance of 4.948/., which is equal to a dividend at the rate of 2i per cent, per annum ; but bringing forward the balance of the last half year, the ac counts show a total balance to revenue of 8,0271. 10s. 4d., out of which the directors proposed a dividend for the half year should be declared at the rate of 4 per cent, per an num, amounting to 7,6141., leaving a surplus to be carried to the next half-year of 4131. The present traffic is at the rate of 200,000 tons per annum, and as the call for coal on the Great Northern line idereases, and their means of tran.it enlarge, this will be greatly augmented, and can be readily supplied to any extent by the collieries that will be in connexion with the company s lines. To render the communications with the collieries north of Barnsley more complete, the directors have, in conjunction with the Great I Northern Company, made an arrangement with the LaliCa. .. 543 shire and Yorkshire Company, whereby this c ompany has " acquired a right to run over about five miles of their l a.. Barnsley branch at a moderate fixed annual rent. The at. directors have also concluded with the Great Northern st. Company a working arrangement, under which this corn. c w e i a ll ni re c ee d o iv v e er • t ri r e i te ne sum w it t t u p e reasorta , t 'o i r ,s t .o to rt te m mineral ttelBlines. This sum is not to be less than equal to 3 per cent. dividend is ea the ordinary stock of the company, after discharging all at. liabilities, east of management, de., and Ist" increase for 33 every wlditionalloo,ooo tons of coal so carried beyond the fleet 200,000 tons by a sum equal to a farther 10a. per cent. i t dividend, until the dividend shall amount to 41 per cent., gt , from which point it is never to recede, and is also to ad- 23 vane in the same ratio until it reaches 6 per cent., which IA is to be the maximum rate." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said he ought to explain that the formation of the four per cent. stock might appear to be a breach of faith after what took place at the meeting held at Sheffield last half-year, hut it was in consequence or an arrangement with the Great Northern Company. That arrangement was only completed yesterday, subject to the approval of the proprietors. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which the Chairman stated that, according to the agreement the com pensation was fixed at 450,000 tons for 41 per cent., and it rose a quarter per cent. for every 50,000 tons additional. The Great Northern would pay the whole expense of work ing the line, and take every thing, debts, responsibilities, benefits, and all. It was then agreed that the meeting at its rising should I ie adjourn for a fortnight. 10 fhe CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend be de clared for the half year at the rate of 4 percent. per annum, which vi as unanimously agreed to. Mown. Bailey, Roberts, Newman, and Pache were then re-elected directors; and Mr. Joshua Wilson was re-elected el auditor. Other resolutions were carried, authorising the 64 - directors to give to the proprietors of the River Dun an im mediate 4 per rent. stock in lieu of their present navigation Is ' shares ; that the directors be also authorised to guarantee et 4 per cent. to such of the shareholders as may chuse‘e to ac- es eept it, instead of coming in under the agreement, and also M. authorising them to borrow money for that purpose. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and the meeting separated. EASI AND WEST YORKSHIRE.—The ordinary half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this company was held in Leeds on Friday. D. W. Nell, Esq., presiding. The report stated that the revenue account (after deducting 1861. 190. 9d., the balance of last half-year), showed the sum of 2,3751. Bs. Bd. OA receipts fur the half-year ending 31st December last, being an excess of 3991. Ils. 7d. over the corresponding six months of the previous year. The report was adopted unanimously, and a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum was declared on the preference shares of the company. lleoLrON, BLACNBTRN, CLMIEROR, AND WEST Rsttwase—The eighth half-yearly meeting ,of the ireholders was held on Friday at their station, Darwer.-.trot. W. 11. llornhy, Esq., the chairman, pre sided. The Chairman regretted very much that the traffic receipt. hed net equalled the expectations of the directors. They anticipated that six months after the Clitheroe line hail been opened the receipts would have been 1,0001. per week. If it had been so, the company would have been able to have met all their engagment. was true that the line was nut in that state of completion which the dineion could have wished, for there was only one line or rails nom Blackburn to Clitherse, and no sidings at any of the stations. The working expenses, since tho terms which had been agreed upon between the Lancashire and Yorkshire, had heen reduced 40 pee cent., which was a greet benefit to the company. The new arrangements had not increased the amount of traffic upon the Bolton and Blackburn lin-, a fact which led him to regret that the terms of the East Lancashire Company hail been rejected. With reference to the preference shares, the directors had resolved to withdraw their original proposition, namely, that the interest on those shares should be reduced from 6 to 5 per cent. A majority of the preference shareholders had agreed to the reduction, but still there were a number who were opposed to it—n number which did not warrant the directors in carrying out their proposition—a number which might have caused considerable opposition hereafter, and which, in addition to causing heavy legal expenses, Might ert litUltly have proved successful. lie thought the proposition a very fair one ; for, as the line' was in diffi culties, it was only right that the preference shareholders should bear a part of the burden. The surplus of 3,0001. which appeared in the accounts had already been appro priated to the carrying on of the works!. The directors' re port was then adopted. LIVERPOOL, ektOSBT, AND SOUTIIPORE—The seventh half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this rail way took place on Friday, at the Clarendon-rooms, Liverpool. W.Earle, Esq. presided. The attendance was not very nume rous. The accounts fur the half-year showed a balance to the credit of revenue of 4,1951. 6s. 10d., from which the directors recommended the payment of a dividend, at the rate of 2 per cent. for the past half-year, leaving a balance to be earned forward of 8381. The directors' report was adopted. TAW VALE IlamwaY.—On Friday, the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors was held at the London Tavern ; John Sharland, Esq., in the chair. The secretary read the report, which stated since the last meet ing the directors had liquidated 12,0001. of the liabilities, estimated at that time at 20,0001. They had also entered conditionally into a guaranteed contract for constructing the remaining twenty-six miles of the line from rnebcrleigh to Crediton, for a sum within the share capital of the company, namely, 441,0001. They had also entered into a contract with ble:Brassey for leasing the line, for a term of seven years, determinable, however, at the option of the company, that gentleman find ing all plant, and paying all outgoing, at a rental of 12,0001. per annum. A is - manatee of the board had visited all the prin cipal towns in the locality of the line, to make arrangements for raising the 50,0001. in shares, in land or money, Con formably with the resolutions of the special meeting of the 29th February, 1850, as the condition on which the directors might prosecute the works. This committee hail recently returned from its visit, and, owing to the landowners not being prepared to name prices for their land, and the resi dent committees appointed in the several towns not having concluded their labour. thedirectors are unable, at this period, to announce the entire subscription of 50,0001. They believe they can safely announce that more than half that sum has been accomplished, or promised, and generally they find a great desire on every side to see the line completed, as well as to support it as far as individual means will allow. The receipts had been 177,4711., and the balance was 6,6691. The report war adopted, and the thanks of the meeting were voted to the directors. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.—The balf-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held on Friday. It is one of the companies amalgamated with the Lanca shire and Yorkshire, and takes a dividend of 1 per edit. kaa than that company. Mr. Gill, chairman of the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Company presided, and the Lancashire ma Yorkshire dividend teasing been fixed at 2 per cent., dm present meeting simply had to declare a dividend of 1 per cent., which they did, and then separated. 111ONKLAND RAILWAY.—The sixth general ordi nary meeting of the shareholders of the kionkland Railway Company was held on 'Thursday, at the company's office, West George-street, John Bain, Esq., of blorriston, in the chair. The receipts hom traffic show an increase of 931. 75. 10d. on the last, u compared with the preceding half year. The net revenue is 8891. 9s more than it was fur the previous six months, but it is 2641. 15.. 6d. less than the net revenue for the half year which ended 31st December, 1849. The revenue account showed a free balance of 8,2411.12.9 d., applicable to a dividend upon the consolidated stock of the company. and upon the six and five per cent. guaranteed shares. The directors recommended a dividend to be de clared at the rate of . per cent. per annum, less income tax ; and 4191. 24 . 7a., the balance of revenue, to be carried to reserve account. The import was adopted. Tug. ROTAL MAIL STEAM-SHIP ASIA, Captain Jadkins, sailed from Liverpool cm Saturday forenoon. She carried out 100 parengen, a heavy mail, and a very large cargo of goods. The next incoming steamer is the Africa. She was to sail from New York on the 26th ult., and may be expected to arrive at Liverpool on Sunday next.

THIS DAY. Two o'CLoci. The prolongation of the cabinet crisis appears to exercise no influence on the Stock Exchange, and has not given rise to speculative operations of the slightest importance: either for a rise or full. The English stock market has been extremely quiet all morning, attention being at present mainly directed to the " Railways department" of the house, where business has resumed the activity which it displayed a week or two ago. Consols for money opened a shade weaker, but for time the price has not undergone even a fractional variation. The present quotation of the market is 961 to 3 both toot cash and the 11th of March, being the same as at the close of Saturday's market. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have met with a moderate amount of business, but in all other stocks scarcely anything has been done. The official list of business is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, 961„ ; ditto for account, 963, I ; Re duced Three per Cents., 973, 97. ' New Three - and-a- Quarter per Cents., 983, 99, 981, 99; India Stock, 264. The market for the floating debt presents little change. Exchequer Bills, of all amounts. have been sold at 475. prem. • and the advertised bills at 465. and 495. prem. Ineirftends, 1,0001., mark 545. pm. The foreign stook market is firm, and an impr.ove ment is to be noticed in Buenos Ayres and Mexican. Peruvian Bonds, on the other hand, are scarcely so good, the price of the Active Debt having receded. to 823. Bargains have been concluded to-day in se veral classes of the Deferred debt of Spain. The prices of business are :—Buenos Ayres Six per Cent. Bonds, 55. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 583, 1. Equador Bonds, 31. Mexican Bonds, 341, ; ditto for the IHa of March, 341, 3.

From the Spanish committee we have received the following unbecoming answer of Senor Bravo Murillo. Had the bondholders been adequately re presented at Madrid matters would have taken another turn. Mr.lVeisweiller's co-operation would promote success, but this business ought not to rest on the isolated exertions of that gentleman. Ti) MK. DANIEL WEJCWEILLEIt. Sir,—l have received your obliging communication of the 19th inst., wherein you refer to the letter from the chair man of the Committee of Spanish Boadholders in England dated the 11th of this month, which you have had the kind ness to send ate. With respect to that letter, I must in reply make it manifest to you, in order that you may have the kindness to do so to the chairman, that the Spanish government has reached (if it has not gone beyond) what is possible, and that it is no longer called upon, on any grounds, to present the amendment which you suggest to a project already submitted to the examination and delibera tion of the chambers, who will decide according to the result of tho discussion on what they may deem most proper. 1 avail myself of this occasion to testify to you, and through you to the chairman, how much I have been gratified by the approval expressed by him of all the other articles of the project, with the exception of those forming the object of his new demand, The question must not revolve upon an application of the principles of equity and justice, but upon the fact of possibility, of which you arc not one of the least qualified to form an estimate, since by your long resi dence in this country, and the transactions you have had with the Spanish government, you are in a position to ap preciate better than any foreigner the present state of the Spanish treasury.—Ever yours most sincerely, Madrid, Feb. 21, 1851. J. Bravo MIMTLLO. The money market is dull, and rates as before, the relaxation afforded in advances on Stock and Ex chequer Bills not affecting commercial transactions. Foreign rates of discount may be quoted as fol-I lows :--11delaide, 25 per cent.; Amsterdam, 2 per cent.; Antwerp, 2 to 4 per cent.; Bourbon, 6 per cent. • Bordeaux, 4 per cent.; Brussels, 4 per cent.; Copenhagen, 5 per cent. ; Frankfort, 11 per cent.; Hamburg, 13 per cent.; Havre, 4 per cent.; Ha vannab, 8 to 9 per cent. ; Madrid, 6 per cent.; Mar seilles, 4 per cent.; New York, 6 to 7 per cent.; Paris, 4 per cent.; Peru, 24 per cent.; Philadel phia 5 to 6 per cent.; Rotterdam, 21 per cent.; Rio Janeiro, 7 per cent.; Trieste, 41 per cent.; St. Pe tersburg 53 to 61 per cent.; Valparaiso, 12 per cent.; Vienna, 5 per cent. The Bank of England returns present no feature of importance. The slight decrease in the bullion does not seem likely to offer any check to the favour. able course of events. The bullion market, as we have before reported, seems to be returning to its normal state. Silver is on the decline, and this week the temporary yore mium on 20 franc pieces at Paris, has vanished; otherwise there is no considerable change of prices. From Chili there is an unfavourable circumstance that quicksilver has risen, though it may be that silver mining has received an impulse, and that the I supplies of quicksilver are not yet adequate, as the Californian stock had not yet come into the market The imports of bullion during the week have in-' eluded 890,736 dollars by the Medway (silver, 5:14,578 ; gold, 356.158); 85,000 dots. by the Canada;, and 6,5001. by the Euxine, from Lisbon—altogether, about 200,0001. Oporto letters mention the arrival of the Betsey, ' from England, with 37,200 sovereigns, consigned to various houses. Messrs. Quilter and Ball's report on the Eastern Counties Railway is very searchingly and severely dealt with by Herapath this week, and several most serious misstatements are exposed. Heroes/1i says that Messrs. Quilter " present some very origi nal ideas in the science of railway construction." Messrs. Quilter are unquestionably very clever men, but the faults into which they have fallen could not have been committed by any one conversant with railway business. For the time, there is much less disposition to place faith in' the reports of committees of inquiry, which from the time of Mr. Hudson's memorable report on the North Midland affairs have been the means of foisting on the public the most erroneous princi ples and systems of policy. From the time that Mr.' Hudson swept away the accountants and store-' keepers from the Midland establishments down to': Messrs. Quilter and Ball's schemes for making' dividend bear capital charges, we are not aware of any good done by such reports, which are, without exception, found convenient vehicles for abusing old directors. and advertising the claims of their oppo nents. From jobbing directors the shareholders have suffered, but much more from jobbing committees of inquiry. The last report of the railway commissioners has produced some stringent comments in the Railway Times. This document is an addition to the accumu lated proofs of the incapacity of those salaried job bers. Their resistance to the remission of duty on first and second-class excursion tickets is, however, as the Railway Times remarks, calculated to lead to an important result. To get rid of the tax, let ex cursion trains have but one fare ; let the rates be uniformly raised to a penny per mile, and the com missioners, on their own showing, will be defeated. Another railway paper has a similar comment on the tendency of the day towards "omnibus," or one class traffic, on railways here, as in America. Hera path continues the crusade against the reserve and depreciation funds, which arc justly characterised as humbugs for the impoverishment of the shareholders. Herapath this week singles out the Midland, the South Eastern, and the York and Newcastle. The amount of railway calls due in tho month of March is as follows : Am:mat pr Awe.

The total calls for the first three months of tho present year will thus be 1,296,9811. In the corre sponding period of 1860, the amount was 4,255,2061. in 1849, 8,660,673; and in 1848, 10,268,6831. 102 es dl, 201 es Qv r It appears from an analysis of the railway traffic returns of the United Kingdom for the past week, as given by Herapath's Journal, that 224,7901. was re ceived on 6,233 miles, being at the rate of 361. per mile per week. For the corresponding period of 1830, 201,2341. was received on 5,397 miles, or also at the rate of 361. per mile per week. There is thus an increase in the amount received of 23,336!., or 11.7 per cent., and an increase in the mileage of 658 miles, or 11.73 per cent—the return per mile per week remaining about the same. The Railway Tinges gives the gross traffic returned since the Ist of Jan. on 6,266 miles at 1,761,4401., being equal to 281/. 2s. 21(1. per mile. The corresponding period of 1830 realised, on 5,538 miles, the sum of 1,320,8201., which gives an average of 2741. 12s, 31d. per mile. The balance, consequently, is aga in in favour of the present year to the extent of 61.'115. Ild. per mile. a . ENGLISH PUNDS.—Turs UT. nut Putt. 7141 154 1 3 par Ct.t4e. Afe, lii i 0 Per C . ...

The supply of Wheat at market this morning, by land carriage samples from the near counties, was only moderate, and all parcels in good condition were readily sold at prices fully equal to those of last Monday; the rest moved off slowly at that day's rates. The receipts of foreign Wheat and Flour during the post week have been less libe ral than of late; but trade is kept in cheek by the number of Wheat-laden vessels from the Black Sea and Mediterranean arrived off the coast for orders • at the same time, there was a little more general demand morning for Wheat and Flour on the spot, at the rates of last week. Barley has come more sparingly to hand, and choice sam ples of malting Barley wore the turn dearer. Our market has been well supplied with Oats, the aggregate arrival of the week exceeding 24,000 qrs. ; the article was held with tolerable firmness, and the dealers were unable to purchase on easier terms. Beans and Peas dull sale, without alteration in value. We have again to report a good demand for Cloverseed, and the value of the article was well supported, arid last week's prices, in some instances, were rather exceeded. Trefoil in limited request, at late rates. Spring Tares brought full prices. Canary Seed was easier to purchase. REITISII fittilitage per Qr.

In foreign shares the utmost inactivity has pre vailed during the week; the prices, therefore, con tinue without alteration. Although the actual business transacted during the week has not been of a very extensive character, yet there has been a good demand for the better class of shares, such as Devon Great Consols, Bedford United, Treviskcy, Trelawncy, West Camden, West Providence, &c., &c.

WINDING-UP OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENNION RAIL. WAT.—On Saturday the executors of Mr. Richard Carpen ter, late of Lansdale-square, and who was the deputy chair man of this company, were sought to be placed upon the list of contributories before his Honour Master Blunt, in re spect of 32.5 shares, in addition to 50 for which he had been previously fixed upon the list in Isis lifetime. Mr. Swift appeared as counsel and Messrs. Ilanslip and Manning, as solicitors fur Mr. Croystlell, the official manager, and Mr Hallett for the executors. The evidence of Mr. Hervey. the secretary, went to show that the deceased had signed the deed for 50 shares, that he had paid upon and received scrip for 150 ont of the 325 shares, and that he was an active member of the company, and did so to speak what he liked. After considerable argument, his Honour held that the executors must stand on the list in respect of the Vffishares, but not as regarded the remaining 174 slums, there being no sufficient evidence of contract. Phis ease completes the list of contributories, and the next step will be to make a call on them to defruy_liabilities. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION RAIL.. WAY.—On Friday, several claims were brought in against this estate by Mr. Croysdill, the official manager, and Messrs. Ilanslip and Manning, his solicitors, before his Honour Master Blunt.

Page, soli citor, Birmingham, for 761. • and another for Mr. Hall, stationer, Birmingham, of Gil., for the printing of reference sheets. His Honour said that in these, as in all similar cases, the parties must show him who gave them the re tainer, and whether, under the deed, the director% had power to retain, and so hind all the contributories who signed the document by such retainer. Should this not appear to be the case, and it was proved that the order was given by any particular individual in connexion with the company, the parties would then be entitled to recover their TRING, BEADING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY.— On Friday the arguments in this matter were resumed by Mr. Dantel, on behalf of the official manager, who was re presented by Mr. Bowyer, of the firm of Lawrence and rkws, and by Mr. rooks, on behalf of Messrs. Cox, share brokers to this company, and who arc sought to be placed ' upon the list as transferees in respect of 1,600 shares on de posit, and on which u loan was advanced of 6,300/. INDEPL.NUENT INSURANCE BOMPANY.-011 Friday a numerous meeting was held before his Honour, Master Tinney, when, after considerable discussion, a call of 21. per share was declared upon those contributories who had been placed upon the list 1 and 2, payable to Mr. Hutton, the official manager. on the 22nd March next._ IMPERIAL BANK OF ENGLAND. — On Friday Mr. J. Holmes, formerly secretary to this company, was exa mined by Mr. Dryer, counsel for Mr. Soulby, and Messrs.

Ile deposed to having received the whole of what were called the " Liverpool shillings," i.e., the original deposits, and that s after the establishment was removed to Manchester, he and his father had nothing to do in it; and he considered that the undertaking, after its removal from Liverpool, was still ' a continuous scheme, though alterations were made in its • • censtAution.
