The CH AI ICHAN mid the most important bonness of the day was the considered's(' of the agreement with the Birkenhead sod Cheshire Jennies Company. The object of the agreement was to obviate the necessity of constructing the proposed new line from Chester to Birkenhead, and upon its being confirmed by the proprietors of both com panies they would be is a position to withdraw the bill. The directors had no wish to eall on the proprietors of this company to subscribe more money fur new lines. He thought, under the circumstances, that it was better for all ponies to make good working agreements than to resort to the expedient of constructing competing lines, involving considerable eapenditure of capital. An hon. proprietor, who was not then present, had found fault with the board of directors for the policy they had mimed with regard to the Birkenhead line. lie (the eki) lied met the re cord then betare him et mesoderm berms the re oar ik Oet Waill=e be efe= "i g ties with the Maier es& MI bees mil. mad Wet deem Is the 11th et lioroottior Let then hot net bees ens dories _diet _pared _Dm Mir Ism eireM et Os with the lithisheed Ommemy bed set Wes a▪ rm Os dee 11* et reytetelear ler these mesoderm acrd.

Hs bead that no agreement would be binding %mhos it were mutually advantageous to the con temning parties. The Landon and Horth-Western Com pany secured to the Birkenhead Oempany the meet mono 'Weal working of their line. It wee a fair arrangement be tween the two coopers. They were aware that it had been contended that the Leaden and North Western Com pony ought to confine themselves to Liverpool, and not go to Birkenheed. Liverpool was extending° mush in almost every direction that it would at ao distant day swallow_ up Birkenhead, the extension of trade at that port would and its vent at the other side of the Mersey, and under these circumstances he would ark why where they not to cul tivate the trams of Birkenhead as well as that of Liverpool ? The testae was inceessing to seek an extent at Liverpool that they could eat mormodate it. They must call upon Birkenhead foe amistanat. He wholly denied that they were bound to go no tardier thus Liverpool. They bad the opportunity of sending • Lep treM hoes the Chester end Holyhead line on to the Birkenhead and Cheshire Jordon lime, sad is stake the letter yesiltable by working it on the same advaategeer teem r the Leedw and North-Wester Company worked their trate. It would prove a benelicial arrangement in every respect. They were at the same time perfectly aware that in consequence of a vicious system of legislation other penile had poem granted them to rue over the Nam. head line, but he had no doubt they would be enabled to avoid serious consequences by judicious arrangements. (Cheers.) Mr. STEWART, the secretary, then read the heads of the agreement, which specified that the Loudon and North Western Company fora term of 99 years are to work the ham of the Birkeeheed Company ; the former eornpery to ran as sway irides as the halite of the Birkenhead Company shall hem hate to time require (not fewer than are at present) at fares sad rates to be fined by the Birkenhead Company, it being sumierstood that for through traffic the fares end rates shall be the same ea those charged by the London and North Western Company to and from the same plates ; the seas to be !a ll owed the London and North Western Company for working eupeains (including passenger duty, maintenance and depreciation of way, works, and plant, and general charges) to be such proportion of the gross es- I ceits as similar expenses of the whole railways of the Load*, and North Western Company bore to the gross re wipes on such railways the preceding half-year, a propor tionate allowance to be made is the London sad North- I Wester, Company on essount of traffic sullied over the lines of the Birkenhead Company by oUser parties; the property and plant of the Birkeshead Company to be valued and restored at the termiaation of the agreement of the same working value ; the lie* between Chester and Birkenhead to be put into an efficient state of repair by the Birkenhead Company; nothing in the proposed agreement to affect or prejudice the powers, rights, and privileges, of the Shrews bury and Chester Company contained in that Company's act passed in 18.51. The agreement contain, the usual pro 'filial* for referring differences to arbitration. On the motion of the CRAIRII•11, a resolution approving of the agreement was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN, is moving the adjournment of the meeting to the 2nd of hue, said they would pensive by the papers that an application had been made—he could not sa/ a b a y t t o opponents—fur an injunction to the Court of C to restrain the Birkenhead Company from coin. plods, arrangement with this company; and although en injumnion should be vented, they were not to suppose that the matter was at as end, we it was only one of the preliminary steps; and as to the rush of the proceedings in Clemeery the directors entertained no fears whatever. The whoa was carried, and the proceedings concluded with a este of thanks to the ehairmas.

ACCELERATION OF MAILS.—At n meeting of the Southampton Chamber of Commerce, hold on Saturday, it was resolved to send • deputation to the Postataster.oe• neral to urge upon his I.ffilAip the propriety of accelerat in.( the hornewsrd mails to London after they have arrived at Southampton. The South Western Railway Company are about to be applied to also to assist in this object. At present it appear. the cost to the Post-oiler of a special train from Southampton to Louden is so great that the mails are often detained alter they are lauded until an or• dinary train i• de.patrhid. It is considered that it would be conducive to the interest of the railway company when a foreign mail arrives at Southampton some time before the departure of an ordinary train, to convey it to London by a apeeial repine at the luau cost of such a conveyance. A fort ign mad would then always arrive in London in about two hour- alter it WWI landed, and would pat a stop to the complaints respecting them mails.

Con sols were sold as low as 994 both for cash and time, but in the ifternoon a firmer feeling prevailed, it being perceived that the loan can have no direct effect upon this market, and prices rallied to 99; to for money and the 9th of June, at which range the market closed. Generally it may be observed that confidence in our monetary and commercial position continues unimpaired, and we heard of several transactions in Consols at par for delivery in July. The day's official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols for money, 99/, /, ditto for account, 99), 3, 4 . Three per Cent. Re! (laced, 981, 99.

Foreign stocks were not extensively dealt in, speculation being at prese nt . inert in this depart ment. Mexican, Venezuean, and a few of the other speculative stocks were flat in the morning, but closed rather more thmly. The recent official intimation from the committee, although the sub stance of it woe published by us several days be fore, has given renewed confidence to the holders of Buenos Ayrean Bonds, and the price is firm at 73 to 76, with business marked to-day at 74. Such being the satisfactory result attendant on keeping the bondholders informed, to some extent at least, as to the position of their a ff airs, it is urged that a communication ought, at the present important crisis, to be published by the committee on the arrival of each mail, as the issue once a month of a few lines of information cannot surely be deemed a very onerous duty, even to a committee so numerically small. We are not unaware, however, that the main tenance of the debt at an equable range in the mar ket is not always a point in which committees are interested, however important it may be to the smaller holders. Meanwhile we hear it whispered about that further accounts of a complexion highly important to the bondholders have been received in certain well-informed quarters by the steamer Severn, and a hope is expressed that in such case the publication of them will not be deferred, as on a late occasion, till the succeeding monthly packet comes in. To-day's transactions are thus reported : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 983, 993. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 931, 1. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 74. Dutch Four per Cent. Certifi cates, 921 93. Ecuador Bonds, 43. French Three per Cent. Rentes, 70 f. (exchange, 25f. 50c.) Gre nada Deferred Bonds, 8). Mexican Old Bonds, for account, 28th May, 311; ditto, New Three per Cents., 24!, 1, t, 3. Portuguese Five per Cents. (Brazil guarantee), 100; ditto, Four per Cents. for account, 381. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1033. Sardinian Five per Cents., 981, 97. Spanish Old Three per Cents., 48) ; ditto, New Deferred Three per Cents., 201, 3, 1. Venezuelan Three-and a-Half per,Cents., 393. The large profits arising out of the Peruvian guano monopoly are strikingly shown in the rapidity with which the redemption of the foreign debt of that state is being carried out. Notice was to-day issued of the cancel - meat of bonds to the amount of 8,0001. These cancelments succeed each other very quickly, and a curious feature of the case consists in a portion of the debt (the Deferred Three per Cents.) having actually come within the operation of the sinking fund before any dividend whatever had begun to be paid. Three redemptions have already been adver tised this year, as shown below : February 13. Six per Cent. Bonds £B,ooo Three nee Cent. Bonds Mmb 20. Six per Cent. Bonds 7,600 Three per Cent. Bonds May 21. Three per Cent. Bonds 8,000 Total £33,500 The money market remains fully as easy es last reported. The reduction of the interest on Exche quer Bills and India Bonds, following the reduction in the Bank rate of discount, is regarded as merely another guarantee for the continuance of the present plethora of capital. According to the official returns published in the Gazette of last Tuesday, the total note circulation of all the private banks of England and Wales, during the week ending the Bth of May, was 3,842,1121. ; in the week preceding the amount was 3,840,8321. There is consequently an increase of 1,2801. The note circulation of the joint stock banks during the same week was 2,964,8471.; and the previous week's return being 2,984,0491., the increase is shown to be 7984 On taking into consideration the active circulation of the Bank of England, which in the week in ques tion was 21,846,1161. (being 12,9531. more than the week preceding), we find the aggregate note circula tion of England and Wales to be 28,462,0741., which shows an increase of 16,0331., as compared with the returns for the previous week ending the let of May, and an increase of 2,340,2401. compared with those for the corresponding week of last year. As regards the fixed issues, the private banks were 1,066,9831., and the joint-stock banks 443,1401. below the amount authorised to be issued, making a total of 1,601,1031. below the fixed amount. The usual monthly statement of the Royal British Bank appears in the London Gazette of Friday even ing, but from the manner in which the accounts are rendered, no information whatever can be gleaned relative to the position of the business of the institution. The amount of bills drawn by the Rut India Com pany on their respective Presidencies from the Bth alt. to the 22nd inst. is as follows: Rate of Exchange. 128,224 14 1 2a 16,586 11 I Z . per Co " . rupee. Bombay nil Total The bullion market remains quite bare, the arrival of the West India packet being looked for, and prices are nominally unchanged. There has been some slight revival of the demand for silver for the Indian markets dining the last two or three days, although the shipments of specie by the Bentinck, which soiled yesterday, amounted to only 32,00 W. An important influence will be exercised on the market for silver, both here and abroad, by the new Austrian loan, which is to be in silver. The imports of specie and bullion this week have been smaller than of late. They comprise 130,000 dollars in silver, by the Asia, from New York; about 3,500/. in gold, by the Marmion, from Hobart Town ; and 400,000 dollars from New York, by the Frank lin ; but a large portion of this amount was for Havre. The Wellington, the arrival of which vessel off the coast was to-day telegraphed, also brings in about 30,000/. worth of Port Phillip gold. The total value of these imports may be roughly stated at about 111,000/. Some half score of vessels, bringing large quantities of gold, are advised as being on their way home from Australia, and a considerable amount will be received by the West India steamer now beverul days overdue. On the other hand the exports have been large. The shipments direct from the port of London, for the wetli ending Thursday, were as follows:—Silver coin : To Rotterdam, 138,000 oz.; to Belgium, 295,000 oz.; to Boulogne, 22,800 or. Silver bars: to Rotterdam, 91 500 oz.; to Dunkirk, 111,000 oz.; to Boulogne, 2,000 oz. ( old coin: to Dunkirk, 220 or. ;to the Mauritius, 2,50 W. The total of these exports is 365,320 ounces of silver, and 220 oz., and 2:OM. in gold, of the aggregate value of about 145,0001.

Our market was tolerably well supplied with English Wheat thu morning, which met a free sale at the extreme quotations of Monday last. In foreign Wheat but few transactions took place; previous prices were, however, maintained. American Flour was in request at the rates of last week, but any attempt to obtain an advance checked the sale. Choice qualities of Barley were fully u dear, bet ordi nary sorts were purchased on rather easier terms. The Oat trade was dull this morning, and rather leas money had to be taken for any but fine fresh feed.
