IN RE THE THING, READING, ANI) BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY COMPANY.—This day was fixed for tho proof of debts and choice of asainees in the matter of this company, whose alidirs have produced an extraordinary sensation in the railway world, and from the commencegient to the close of the pmccedinizq of to-day the court was crowded to excess. Mr. Scrjeant Allen, with Mr. Ford as solicitor, appeared for the shareholders; Mr, James, with Messrs. Hill and Erma], for the bankrupt company ; and Messrs. Lowrance and Plewa in support of the fiat, which was sued out by Mr. Blunt, the engineer to the company.—Mr. Lowrance handed iu the proof tendered by Mr. Blunt, the petitioning creditor. . . Mr. Scrjeant Allen said The course it es now proposed to take is objectionable to the shareholders. It should first be shown whether shareholders are or are not liable for the debts to be proved, and the more so, as it was now proposed that they should he proved at once against the whole of the com patty, there being by the act of parliament under which they appear before the court no power to prove against the separate estate of any individual member of the company, and thereby treating the company as a corporate body, and making the whole of the assets subscribed by the shareholders liable to these debts, which, upon investigation, may not be " debts " for which the shareholders may be rendered liable. There is a difference in this case to that of an ordinary bank ruptcy, for in the !atter a demand may arise against the separate estate, and it is p - oveablo against thnt estate ; but here no such power exists, and it is proved against the body, for it is not capable of being split. The powers of the act of parliament (7 and 8 Viet.) pate us in this position, and, therefore, your hummer must see that in point of fact any debt that can be proved must be moved agninst the whole bode. Sum osing this cmnpany to consist of 100 persons and if a 'claim was made against 00, although the remaining one received no benefit whatever, yet it would be proved against the whole hundred.—Mr. Commissioner Shepherd: In ordi nary cases of bankruptcy one partner binds all the others.— Mr. Serjeant Allen: Bnt supposing five of the company (consisting of 20) had contracted private debts, not for the general benefit of the partnership, they would he proveable against the private estates of each of such five, while in this case there mists no such power, and the debts proveable against this estate, must be shown to be proveable against the whole body. For the purpose of my objection I shall assume a certain state of (seta. By the company's deed and under which the shareholders are made partners, there is a power of appointing persons to act as directors, and also a power to vary or divert the intended line to a certain extent. They have to cut a line from Tries to Basingstoke, instead of which they cut a line from Paris to Rouen ; then surely the debts contracted for the latter purpose would not be provenble agniest this estate, although contracted for this company b y a company. Here the debts, however, were contracted or purposes not authorised by the deed, ard therefore the funds of the shareholders should not be made liable to their payment, but to the individual directors who gave otab-rs for the execution of such work. Now that being as I assume, it will be too soon at once to proceed with the proof of debts. Before proceeding to do so, it is incumbent to prove that the debts so sought to be proved, were contracted in relation to, and in furtherance of, the objects of this company. You must have some evidence of this. first, what was done at all; and if you do not find that what was done was in furtherance of the views of the company, then you would have no power to apportion the payment of any part of the debts so contracted upon the shareholders generally, though you would possibly upon the estetes of the persons contracting them. Supposing any one of the directors had ordered a coat, to appear respectable at the table, bow then ?—Mr. Commissioner Shepherd: Oh, I do not think that I should allow that, nor do I think that Mr. Lawrence would require it. —Mr. Serjeant Allen : The directors were getting Zit. a day, but, nevertheless, they might want a coat. (Laughter.) Mr. Commissioner Shepherd : That would not be allowed to be proved. Mr. Serjeant Allen : I was pointing cut an extreme esse to illustrate the position I am trying to establish; and I any that you cannot separate the private debts of the direc tors, for which the whole body arc sought to be made liable, until you have further information. Slv objection, there fore, is, that the proof of debts is wholly premature, and this, as I before said, is the first bankruptcy which has oc curred under this act of parliament, and it is most important that due consuleration should be given to the proceedings under it. They (the company), appear here only as a com pany; you have no power of splitting; and it is most im portant to show what has been done, and that the debts are applicable to the whole company. We (the shareholders) are, in point of tact, some of the bankrupts applying to you, but we are in a different position to the directors, for wo have paid all the money which is available under this bank ruptcy. The direct ,ra have paid nothing ; they have taken shares and paid for none. Yes, perhaps upon five, just for the look o: the thing. Your honour must see the state of facts, and you, sir, have the power of giving us a certain ex tent of inAttigt nee. I therefore submit that you might do great injustice by at once proceeding with the proof of debts. Before any debts can be proved it must be shown what they are for. • • r. Commix Shepherd : It appears to me by this first and second clause, tlrt the duty of the Court of sank ruptcy is to admix ist:r under this bankruptcy the joint-stock property, and net to topch any private property. I now proceed with the joint-stock property, anti if any creditors can prove upon that, et How can I get at these preliminary facts ? Mr. Lawesnee here observed that he would do nothing but what was practicable. Mr. James: I was going to bring the attention of the Court to the practical object of this meeting, and I am sure that my learned friend, Serjeant Allen, is raising • shadow for the purpose of argument. The course is quite plain, being under the Railway Company's Dissolution Act and I do not thir.k that we can entertain • doubt but that all parties who executed the subscription oontract are made the bankrupts. We are now in a court of justice fur a certain purpose, and the question is not who has sinned, hut we are here for the purpose of judicially carrying out the object of this act of parliament If you leek at the first section of Lord Dal- housie's act, you will see that all the parties who have entered into the subscription contract see the parties liable to he made the bankrupts under the 7th and Bth Viet., which was the first act giving the power of makin g joint-stock com panies bankrupt. Mr. Serjeant Allen : I do not dispute these facts. Mr. James: I think my learned Mend will concur with me in stating that we are now to see what is the practical object of this meeting. The company was registered as the " Tring, Reading, and Baaingstoke Railway Company," the fiat was issued in that name, and none but the parties sign ing the subscription contract can be made bankrupts. Mr. Commissioner Shepherd : But how arc we to arrive at all this to-day ? The co-rpany are made bankrupt, and are represented by three gentlemen. Mr. James: Your Honour perhaps will hear me upon that matter by and by, fur I cannot well understand how they were made bankrupts at all. Mr. Lawrence: The Lord Chancellor has decided that, Mr. James. Mr. James : I don't know that ; but, however, I am here representing the gentlemen who acted as directors of this company, and I should be very anxious to watch here to-day that no private debt of any one of the directors be proved against the whole body as • debt contracted by them, for which they are liable as a corporate body. Mr. Lowrance : I do not think it is necessary to make any remarks upon the observations of the learned counsel, Mr. James. With respect to Serjeant Allen, Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque decided in the Forth Marine Insurance Com pany, that shareholders could not be heard except as bank rupts, and, therefore, the learned serjeant cannot be heard, except he pleases to appear for his clients as part of the bank rupt company. We must wait till the proofs are tendered, and then would be the time for Mr. Allen to make his ob • jection. The only debts proveable are those contracted as for the company, and by the pent ms who have done work for the company. Certain questions have arisen between the company and the shareholders, but with these we have nothing to do. Supposing tt "e assets divisible under this fiat are insufficient to meet the demands of creditors, your honour may require the assignees, under the 20th clause, to apply to the High Court of Chancery, praying that all neces sary orders may be issued, and to compel a just contri bution from the body or company to pay the debts and liabi lities of the company. Supposing the assets to be more than sufficient to pay the debts. Then, as in a common estate, where 20a. in the pound has been paid, the surplus will be divided in accordance to the interests of the parties.—Mr. Commissioner Shepherd : Then, by the twentieth clause, the private property is liable ?—Mr. Lawrence: Yes. But not in this court. In the Forth Marine Insurance Company I appeared for the shareholders. They objected to the course , taken by that company, and therefore refused to pay their ' contributions. Actions were brought against them, and they were obliged to pay. Now, nothing could be more beneficial than the making of this act of parliament. The rights of the creditors arc saved by thin act ; fur it is quite • clear that no creditor would like the expense of going to Westminster to get • verdict, when he can come here, prove, and get his dell paid.—Mr. James: Mr. Lawrence is quite right ; but actions are now going on egninst the directors. Mr. I.awrance : I have no doubt but what they will be . stayed.—Mr. Scrjeant Allen: It is quite clear that I have a lams strrndi here. This is not an insolvent company, like • the Forth Marine, but will pay four times as much as what can be proved against the estate, and I have not denied that ' we are bankrupts. ' Mr. Commissioner Shepherd: The way is, to make the objection when the proof is tendered. if persons associate together as a body, they are all liable for what was done, I I have no power to grant your application, Mr. Allen.— Mr. James : I should like Mr. Lae vines to prove the peti tioning creditor's debt.—Mr. Lawrence : I first hand in Mr. , Hall, the parliamentary agent's debt.—Mr. Hall was ems ' mined, and stated his claim to ho 3521. 17s. 13s1. He had ne , objection to hie bill being taxed. Mr. Serpent A len: To whom did you give this credit?— Mr. 1E211: The company. The bill was addressed to the eons paity'e solicitur.—Mr. Serjeant Allen: At the earliest period of the commencement of your bill, was this company in existence ?—Mr. Hall : Well, that I can scarcely answer. From a commun'eation which I received at the instance of the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, I believe it was resolved that my bill was to be paid. The mode of doing business was to receive instructions from the company's solicitors.—Mr. Commissioner Shepherd: If the instructions which come from the solicitor are afterwards adopted by the company, they (the company) are liable.—Mr. Hall : My partner at tended to the business. I cannot say that the work done was in reference to a line from Tring to Basingstuke.—Mr. Scr jeant Allen : Now we can only get at this by the plans. . Mr. Commissioner Shepherd: I must assume that this work was done for the company, sod it is fir those who impugn it to show that it was not, and that the Committee ' of Management exceeded their authority. Mr. Serjeant Allen: Was not the line from Walsford to Princes Wesborough ?—Mr. Hall: I cannot say. Mr. Andrews, • clerk to the company, spoke to a resolu tion in the minute book, which was an entry in his own hand-writing, by which it appeared that Mr. Hall had to prepare the necessary documents to go to parliament with. The plans were to be deposited before tho 30th of Novem ber. The proof was admitted. The next proof tendered was that of Messrs. Dodd and Smith, solicitors of Reading, for a balance of account of 1•50/. Mr. Serjcant Allen said that the proof could not be ad mitted, because the claimants were merely the agents of Hill and Everill, who not having had any authority from the company for their special appointment, they alone must be responsible for th e claim. After Mr. Smith had been examined, Mr. Hill (the registered solicitor to the company), suc ceeded him in the witness-box, and stated that the minute book had been in his possession. He had had considerable experience in railway business, and it was quite necessary to employ persons t o make up b o oks of " reference." Messrs. Dodd and Smith were empboyed in this work entirely upon his authority, he, as solicitor to the company thinking it necessary to do so. He (witness) had received '4,8001. from tho company, in part payment of certain expenses. Mr. James : Now, Mr. Hill, I wish to ask you if in charging the company would you have brought into account before the directors, the payment to Dodd and Smith ?—I think I would ; the money (1001.), was paid by the private check of Mr. Everill, Mr. Everill was next examined, and stated that he had had an interview with Mr. Smith, at Reading, who however refused to give up the books of reference with out the payment of 1501. on account. This he refused to give, but consented to let him have 1001. He did not re member having laid Dodd and Smith's bill before the board, though he might hove done so. Mr. Commissioner Shepherd : Then I shall not admit this proof. Proof rejected. The proof of Mr. Blunt the petitioning creditor, was now proceeded with. It was to the amount of 422/. 13s. for engineering work.—Mr. Blunt was examined by Mr. Lawrence : I am a civil engineer, and have had nearly forty years' experience. My first interview was in January. I then saw Mr. Prince, Richardson, Green (the secretary), and Mr. Evcrill. They explained to me what they required. Mr. Hughes had acted for the company and left them, there fore they could not go on. Their plans were deposited, bat they felt incompetent to proceed any further. I then went to work. I had seven men and seven or eight labourers. I was in the field fur fourteen days, and was in attendance before the Standing Committee for fourteen days also. I first of all received 1501., then 1001., and • second sum of 100 7 . I now claim as balance 4221.—Mr. Serjeant Allen : This is a largo amount, and I have to apply that the examination betaken down by the solicitor to the fiat. It was the practice so to do.—Mr. Lawrancc said, that it was the practice at Birmingham, where Mr. Sergeant Allen came from, to have a person spe cially appointed. Mr. James said : This is not an ordinary tribunal, for whatever is taken down is used in favour of the creditor, it being by way of deposition. Before Mr. Commissioner Evans and Fane certain evidence bad been taken down which was not on the proceedings, and the parties had to be examined over again. I will call engineer after enzineer to show that he has done nothing at all, and what he has done is worthless .—A solicitor here interposed, and arid he wished to know whether there was any objection to the proof of 7.lepars. Biles and Biikbeck. _ _ Mr. Commissioner Shepherd: Is this proof opposed? Surely the shareholders don't oppose all. Seine must be right.—Mr. Serjeant Allen raid that he was instructed to oppose all the proofs.---Mr. Lowrance observed that he did no seek to make the shareholders bankrupt, but he had taken an active part in the proof of debts.—Mr. Ser,cant Allen : To carry your choice.—A very angry argument here took place, in the course of which Mr. Lawrence said that Mr. Allen had been exceedingly impertinent, and neither the wig nor gown would frighten or put him (Mr. L.) down.— After some further discussion, the case was adjourned tili the latter end of next week. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1846. ARBITRATION COURT. On Saturday, t;intittlry into certain claims against the South Western Railway Company was resumed in the Great Rooms of the Horns Taw rn, Kenn ington, before Mr. Abbott, Under Sheriff of the county of t'a: reit, and Mr, Wallington as his assessor. The property about which the dispute as to compensation arose is situated near Vauxhall Gardens, on the line over which the South-Western Railway is to be extended from the Nine Elms station to a point on the bank of the Thames between Waterloo and Hungerford-bridges, where the terminus station will be erected. The Attorney- General,' Mr. Hill, Q.C., and Mr. Merewether, app^ared fir the Company. Mr. Humphreys, Q.C., Mr. M. hambers, Q.C., Mr. Bagley, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Lush, for the claimants. The jury, when sworn, proceeded to view the property of one of the claimants, Mr. G. Rigby, of 31, Glasshouse -street, Vauxhall, lucifer match manufacturer.— In their absence the claim of Mr. Magennis, a baker,residing in Stokesterrac.• was mooted. They are leasehold premises. The claim was 1;000,. The company had paid the sum of 2001. into court, and took possession under the Lends Clauses Act. After some discussion the claimant agreed to accept this amount —ln the case of Mr. Rigby, a demand of 4,5001. was originally made. The grounds for such com pensation were the folios ing ..—Thst the claimant made a clear profit by his business, of from 1,6001. to 2,0001. a year. That the late B 'ilding Act forbids the manufacture of any Inciter matches within the bills of mortality, unless in a house standing fifty feet clear upon all sides of any other building : that such a site within the bills of mortality would be most expensive; and without, woold be inconvenient and almost use less. That the blocks for striking off his printed label* would be useless end must he remit, and that the expense of moving, &c., would be considerable. To sustain this ease about 30 witnesses were examined. Some of them alleged that the profits on the business were cent. per cent., sad travellers were called who proved that the claimant had a very extensive business. The company offered 1071., which was declined.—On the other hand, t h e Attorney-General established by documents and by the cross-examination of the claimant's witnesses that the rent of the premises in question was only 171. a year; that the claimant had no banker, and no visible or tangible wealth; that his books did not show for the year 1845 • gross receipt of more than 4771. ; and be argued from these premises that the claim was a most unreasonable one, particularly as the claimant had only a lease of the place for three years, a year and a half of which was expired. Under theme circumstances, after a long and must ingenious speech, be called upon the jury to reject the claimant's demand, and award that which the company offered and no more.—The jury gave a unani mous verdict for 1071., the sum which the company originally tendered. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-SATURDAT. OLD COURT. THE POROUSLY ON THE iiiiiiinoNESB OF QUEENS BERRY.— Villiers Pearce and Bridget Sullivan, who were convicted on Friday, the former of forging the name of the Marchioness of Queensberry to a check onMeurs.Coutts and Co., the bankers, and the latter with having uttered the same with a guilty knowledge, were brought up to receive the judgment of the court, which had been postponed in consequence of Pearce stating that several respectable per sons would give him a good character if an opportunity were offered him of bringing them forward when called on in the usual form. Pearce addressed the court at great length in midgationof punishment,stating,among other things, that he had been a midshipman in her Majesty's service; that he had once filled several respectable and responsible situations, among them was chief clerk at the post-office at Sydney, where his conduct had given satisfaction to his employers; that since his return to this country he had been a reporter to the public press ; and in conclusion he implored the mercy of the court on account of his family. He afterwards begged that his sentence might be further postponed.—The Lord Chief Baron, however, said he could not grant the application, and, alter commenting upon the ingratitude he had shown to the marchioness, who had been his bene factress, sentenced him to be transported for ten years, and Bridget Sullivan to be imprisoned six months in the House of Correction, and there kept to hard labour.—Pearce loudly complained of the sentence, and was with some difficulty re moved from the dock. Benjamin Lamdert, and Robert Greasy, were indicted for as Henry Clement, and stealing from his person 91. 4s. in silver. It appeared that the prosecutor is one of the toll collectors at a turnpike in Fulham—that on the day of Wednesday, the 7th inst., he was going towards Kensington, vri.h the above money in his dress coat pocket, contained in two canvass bags ; that on the road he was w.ivlaid by the prisoners and three other men, who knocked him down and took the property from him.—The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and a certificate of a former conviction of Greasy was put in and read.—The Court then sentenced each of them to be transported for fifteen years. NEW UN: RE. WHOLESALE PLENUM—George Stoddert, aged 24, pleaded guilty to three indictments, charging him with stesliug money to the amount of 1381. Os. Ild., and goods to the value of 1701., in all making 3081. Os. Ild., the pro perty of Mr. David le Boutillier, his master. Part of the property was recovered, but the prosecutor said he was still a loser to a great amount, and, in fact, could not tell to what extent the robbery was carried on.—Sentenced to trans portation for seven years. A DEAR PENNYWORTH.—Jeremiah Delmont was in dicted for committing an assault on, and stealing a pocket handkerchief, value Id., from, Patrick M'Gougle. The evi dence went to prove that the prosecutor was followed by the prisoner, who very clumsily picked his pocket. The prose cutor turned round and accused him of the theft, for doing which the prisoner assaulted him. Ile was found guilty, as he was well known.—The Common Serjeant sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour. A HALFPENNY CH AEG E.—Honora Murphy, a middle-aged woman, was indicted for stealing one halfpenny, the pro perty of James Moorhouse, her master. —The prisoner in this case was a milk woman, and the charge against her consisted of selling milk and applying the money to her own purposes, instead of rendering a proper account of it to her master. The jury retired for a few minutes, and then returned a verdict of Aut qualy.--She was then charged on a second indictment of a like nature and Acquitted, JAIL WAY NEWS. The market on Saturday was steady, with a fair quantity of business, although the jobbers were occupied a good deal with the final arrangements of the account, of which that was the pay day. Some considerable dealings took place in East Indian scrip, ia the prices of which some fluctuations occurred. They were done variously at 15s. the lowest, and 13s. 3d. the highest point. A qumtity of North British was bought in against a defaulting seller as hi.di as 12 premium, the market rate being only rrom 101 to 11. Caledonians were firm, and generally the market was well supported. There was but little Innhscss done in the share-market at Liverpool, and the tendeu7 was rather downwards. Edin burgh end Glasgow, however, were higher in price, and closed 721 to 731. Birmingham and Oxford declined, and cleeed 4; premium. Dudleys, too, were a shade lower. At Manchester rather more business was dose in the share-market. Prices were very steady and firm. There was no alteration in the tone of the market at Bir mingham. Business w.Ls st 4 adv, and a fair amount was transact,xl. &dos were erected 'in the Birmingham and Oxford Junction at 5l p., and in the Birmingham, Wolver hampton, and Dudley, at 41 p. ; but a rumour prevailing towards the close of the business that the Great Western Company would take up the amalgamated line on handsome terms, holders were scarcely disposed to sell at the rate above quoted. Our correspondent, referring to this matter, says, " that as it is clear the amount of traffic on the Dna:* line will be enormous nothing is more likely than that the rumours above refer red to ere well grounded, and that a further and more considerable rise in the value of the scrip may be anticipated." Shropshire Unions w, re done at 6s. NI., and uitimately at ; p.; and Ambergates were a shade Inner than the last quotations in this market. At Leeds there was not so large a business done, but price. were rather on the ndvance. Leeds and Thinks advanced from 51. dis. to 41. die. ; New Thirsks, from 31. die. to 2i dis. ; Dewsbury Branches, from 325. to 395. pm. ; Ambergates sold at 2s. pm.; East Loneseshire;, No. 2 (late Liverpool and Ormskirks), advanced front 31.125. to In other lines prices continued firm. At Bristol the market was not 110 well sustained. Caledo- niaus receded a quarter, and did not realise beyond 231. North Stafford!, which were done on Friday at 2'. Is. 3d. pm., closed on Saturday at 17s. Sd. pm. New Tel Vales were done at Ss. 9d. to lilt pm. In the heavier etoc ks there was but little business transacted; holders did not in- , clined to submit to lower prices, while buyers were not to be had at Friday's quotations. At Hull the market was flatter for scrip shares, and prices were quoted lower. There was, however, a strung demand for York and North Midlands, Midlands, York and New castle, and North British stocks, the quotations of which ; were fully maintained.

After the eilvertistment calling the meeting had been read, the Chairman. id, It is :seed at general meetings of ounipaniee to read the report which the directors are to lay Inefore you : but as that report ha. been generally circulated among the neamieed i dare sae you will dispenee with the ceremony—for it le nothing more —of reking it. ;The iitthelinee of tiles retort hat already appeared in the Daily .I',lrs.] It beine your wish that we should (listens. with the reading of the report, I wilt new mere d to state, ac eliortly as I can, the vieß4 of the director e In regard to our present InYillilXl. Hiner the directors Word that report, variotie eircumstamys have oc curred which calk d for their meet scrim. :mention and deliheretion. They have felt throughout that nothing can be no injurkieni to a com pany as Loving internal dire ntienta. They have felt that they were placed in eireunotances of very coneiderabl;ditheuley in regard to the Edinburgh and Perth line. They twee ateertained, beyond all ques. tion, that therein a very considerohle body of the aboreholders of the North British Company strongly oppe.,l to that line. They have also ascertained within these few daps the far', that the opposhion which will be Myra to that line in P a rli amen t /a been greatly inerensol by the adlitional wrength which has been imparted to the Scottish Cen tral Itailway line by elt,:e aneriation with the t towed:lit body reaching from London to Perth. There alt occurred to their con.ideratiust earthen Iced diflieultie.; end influenced by there rifles, they have come to a resolution, which I men now oath to you, namely that under these sherd circumstance., thee deem it in'exeeillent can. Dime their support to the Edinburgh and Perth line. I believe it to be difficult, jute:ell, fur the Eilinbargli and Perth Company to attain their act ie the fax of the oppoeition which I have ntated to you ; and I believe. Mill more, that if we go to Parlia ment fer a bill toenaltie us to mmeltrantate with that company , oppoised as w e cerLdnly see by a vow Important cation of the North Bre lab Couipay, although a maiiity—for I am prepared to tell you that that smote he in a minority—it will be iiniessible for as to obtain from Par'!atnent the power t amalgamate With the Dlinbeirgh and Perth. In thin attempt we seall unqueetetnably have the oppwsition of a coroideratele body ef our own Mareholders to conteni with, backed by other and foreign interenta. I have only to say fel the.' upon lens subject, that I fed the iwyrsaity of unanimity. Tbe oheet of the din-ctore is, if pa...161c, to secure ur.onimity in this company, whereby we sh.:ll obtain greeter etreneth. Mr. Wotherepuon, of Liver pool, adverted to the eatinfaction which the annauncethent of the eh:notion Ind given him, neetae that he tad been from the sere pent opposed to their policy in reference to the Edinburgh and Perth line. After the coneceelon which had been mane, it sat must becoming that he should tell the director. that whatever might be the opinion entertained by himself and by theft for when he acted, an to tire pr lady of metering into the scheme at all, end the poeleon of the sear... in fort line, they were willing to hold the et:rectors harmless in everythilig that had leen done, and tea let by-peones be be-gone. Ile would, therefore, beg to propose and he hutted the mutton would be carried unanimously --mai the thanes of the meeting be given to the chairmanhud directors of this company for the gracionon makner in wheei they have acceded to the expressed wishes of a large body of the shareheildsre, in withdrawing their support front the Edinburgh :red Perth Cinnpanv ; and that they be hutructed to kite the taunt prompt end effectrnil means to realise the scrip of the Edirburgl. and Perth Company, and that they charms any lam arinng there fr om in the aorainte for tie current half-year .

I can assure vou that the direetoni have felt very great pain and annoyance at wliat has occurred. I believe that none I cur impute blame to them, or wish to do no. They put themselves into tine hand: of the most experienced engineer in tivitLfrid, and the line was suryeyed lArlor,- it was opened to the public. Certainly, Wino fortunes hen• la peened to the line, tee they have been greatly exogge ratrnl. I ens happy to acqraint you, that we will be able, if the weather centinumenth ac is is at the preentmement, to open Melia throuth. out in ten or fourteen dace. I have only to army that no one could !Intent the matter more than the diree.ors did. In answer to a rptestien, as to whether General Pa.ley had given in any report ha the direct:As on the pre-cat condit.on of the Uric, the Chairman aMd titat they had not recexed any written report from that gentleman un the subject.

At the York meeting which bad lately taken place, suggestion', had been made for amalgamating with the North POLICE.-S.kTURDAT. BOW-STREET.—Tir e !AMAX FAMILY.—This ease, which was adjourned to give Gen. Lomax an opportunity of attending, and decide what sum he intended to allow his son, so as to prevent his wife becoming chargeable to the Strand Union, was again brought before Mr. Henry for ad-. judication.—Dr. Spursio, of Guildford-street, said he attended on the part of Gen. Lomax, to acquaint the court that, being in a very precarious state of health, the least ex citement might prove of serious consequences to him should he be compelled to attend in court and give evidence.—Mr. Henry said it was a subject of great regret that the matter could not have been settled in an amicable manner, instead of having the family dragged before the public so repeatedly, and he hoped some friend would interpose, and prevent a recurrence of it —Dr. Spurgin said that ho was very intimate with the General, and nothing would give him greater pleasure than to give every as sistance in his power to settle the unhappy differences. Mr. Henry said that the evidence of Gen. Lomax was not absolutely necessary, but it was a pity Mr. Boas% ood, the relieving officer, had not seen him, as a settlement of some kind was very desirable, particularly as nothing could be brought forward to impugn the character of the complainant. Mr.J. Lomax said, that every opposition would be made by his family to and arrangement, and it was intended to appeal against any decision the court might come to on the subject, as he was in a position to bring forward evidence to prove serious charges against the complainant. —Mr. Henry told him it was a matter of regret that he should have iutertered, and he believed that no charge of a serious nature could pos sibly be substantiated against Mrs. Lomax, as they were utterly unfounded.—Mr. Boxwood said he had an interview with the defendant, Mr. John Lomax, on Friday evening, and he distinctly told him that he never could charge his wife with infidelity, and that out of the allowance which might be made to him by his father, he would be happy to give her what he could afford.—Mr. henry considered that, after such an avowal, it would be very improper for Mr. J. Lomax to make any remark against Mrs. Lomax, and should Dr. Spurgin appoint to meet the ro . lieving-officer of the Strand Union at the General's house, a private arrangement could be effected to the satisfaction of ' all parties.—Dr. Spurgin thanked the magistrate for the sug gestion, and: said that on Monday he would meet the relieving-officer, and do everything in his power to arrange the matter.—Mr. Janice Lomax said he was anxious to make some observations respecting the accounts which Lately appeared in the newspapers, prejudicial to his character.— . Mr. Henry said he could not suffer him to enter into sub jects that had nothing whatever to do withtho case.—Mr. J. Lomax, who seemed excited, said he was determined to prefer shill of indictment for perjury.—Mr. Henry said he could dons he thought proper in that particular, and ordered the further hearing of the case to be adjourned till Tueaday next (to-morrow). MARLBOROUGH - STREET. Etorestexr. Mrs. Hambrook, dressmaker, of New Bond -street, from whose house her niece, Miss Jarvis, had eloped a few days ago, camp to this court to state to Mr. Hardwick, that all the attempts of the police ti trace the girl had hitherto been unavailing, though, from circumstances which had oceursed the previous day, she believed some slight clue bad been obtained to the movements of her niece. Mrs. llambrook further said, that she wished to make a reply to the state ment clone of her assistants, who with her father had made an application to the magistrate to get her boxes restored, and who was represented to have strongly denied all knowledge and participation in the circumstances of the wretched girl's flight. There was no truth in this young womaa's denial. The young woman, whose name was Parsons, was cognisant of a great deal more than she chose to avow. Indeed, Miss Parsons had admitted as much to the police-officer, in the presence of her father, almost imme diately after her return from making her application to the magistrate.—Mr. Ilsrdwiek said he certainly expressed his belief in the denial of the young woman Parsons, it was so earnestly, solemnly, and repeatedly made. If the denial was filse, them all he could remark was, that it was en in credible exhibition of duplicity in a person so young.—Mrs. Hambrook said after Miss Parsons returned to her house on Friday, it came out that Miss Parsons hid been brought to town bye gentleman, who, after remaining with her same time, left her lodging at a public-house in Soho, from which place she was turned out after her clothes had been seized for rent. Miss Parsons, about a year riga was introduced to a well-known house of infamy in King's-place, King-st: eet, and it was to this very . house that her unfortunate niece had proceeded on the evening of her elopement. She had nnether ascertained that the keeper of this infamous house had been introduced to her niece by Miss Parsons, and that mother person had been brought into her house by Miss Parsons, I% ho letil made up the dress which her niece took with her when she quitted the house. Her niece took away her clothes in a cab, and it was Miss Parsons who assisted her in effecting this object, and who had let her in on her return from depositing her clothes in King's-place. From part:eu lays that had been collected, she believed that Miss Par. ons knew the gentleman with whom her niece had eloped; indeed, very little doubt existed on her mind that it was the same gentleman who had seduced, and afterwards aban doned, Miss Parsons. She had asked Miss Parsons to tell her this gentleman's name, but she referred her to her father, who knew, she said, of her misfortunes before she entered into her present situation. She (applicant) wished to know whether the magistrate could not compel Miss Parsons to disclose the gentleman's name, and to state all she knew about the affair.—Mr. Hardwick replied he knew of no potser which a magistrate possessed that could effect such a purpose.—Mrs. Hambrook said the parents and relatives of Miss Jarvis were in a state of great aia tre at her loss. There was good reason to suppose that she had been centaminated by her acquaintance with Miss Parsons. She was a girl of great attractions ; and, being very young and rain, was no doubt easily led away by one more experienced and artful than herself. She had been constantly riding about in cabs with Miss Parsons, gsing out early and coming home late, circumstances that had only come to her knowledge since Fer niece's disappearance. The mother of her niece had received a letter from her fugitive daughter, dated from Cambridge, and stating that she had got another situation in Cambridge, but from the tissue of deception tbrcughout the whole affair, in which she con sidered her servants and some of her workpeople were equally involved, ehe was doubtfbl how far this clue could be relied on.—Mr. Vardwick said if a girl chow to adopt a life of profligacy, he feared that neither parents, friends, nor magistrate* would be able to turn her from her infamous ~,g6 = l : l B,.s mee. In this case a maßistrate could give no If the girl was discovered, and any amide aet absolutely her property were found on her, she might** detained until her parents were apprised of her eased.. This was all the advice and assistance be could now mdse in this painful case. LAMBETH.—Masuuktunized.—Hanntsk Moulding and Asia& Sloss! were charged before Mr. Norton with stealing a silver watch and guard-chain, the property of the brother of the first-mimed prisoucr.—The mother of the prisoner Moulding, who appeared dreadfully a ffl icted at the position in which her daughter had placed herself, deposed that for some months past her daughter, who was only twelve years of age, had conducted herself in such a way as to convince her (witness) that she had formed some very indifferent and profligate acquaintances. She was in the habit of coming home at all hours of the night, and if she grumbled at being obliged to get out of her comfortable bed to let her in, she only received abuse and insolence from the prisoner, who, in addition, frequently told her she was bound to do so and support her, she being under age. On Wednesday morning her daughter left home without even asking her leave, and shortly after she was gone witness missed her son's watch and silver guard-chain from his bed-room. She gave information of the circumstance to a police-constable, who traced her out and apprehended her and the other pri soner when preparing to go to a masquerade.—The prisoner Moulding acknowledged to having taken bar brother's watch, but said she had done so at the request and solicita tion of her fellow-prisoner, and afterwards pledged it in the Walworth-road, for the purpose of procuring dresses to wear at a masquerade. She also acknowledged that she had been to public balls and dances at the Baths, in the Westminster-road, as well as to other places of public amusement, with her fellow-prisoner Stout.—The mother of Moulding said it was not the intention of her son to prosecute the prisoner; and Mr. Norton in consequence took the case summarily, and committed both prisoners fur fourteen days each to Brixton House of Correction.

The stock, es will be seen, was still in decline, although at a less rate of outflow than for the two weeks preceding these returns. The Bank was not far short of one million and a half poorer in metallic wealth at the date, than some weeks before. It might still spare two or three millions more with out derangement of circulation, assuming the absence of such political crises as set all calculation at defiance, and bating such prospective money premium as would seem perhaps rather imminent, from the exceptional circum stances of scarcity of home grown comestibles and neces sarily large importations of foreign bread stuffs. The next few weeks, if not the next week, may inform us better, should this drain of hard money continue, what may have been its direction, or what shall ba. If the tide cease to flow outward from the Bank, it may be concluded safely perhaps that the bulk hitherto paid out must have been for internal wants. The heavy amounts of foivign drafts upon this country, which have been accumulating by every post, and are still, against cons purchases, are rather omi nous of a demand of bullion for exportation to some parts, such as the Black Sea, where a corres_pondent requisition for manufactures, or other products on British account, cannot so readily or immediately be expected. At the same time, should balances:in other quartere,lthe United States excepted, where from circumstances it cannot be looked for, be favoura ble, the supply of the precious metals may perchance be equal to the balance of accounts. The Bank was, at the date, retrenching in its securities prudently to make face against the decrease of pu'slic and private deposits, end hence chiefly the decrease of active cir culation, inconsiderable as it was. Judging from present appearances, it would seem that a day of trial was approach ing, by which the soundness of the recently established sys tem of Bank circulation, and of currency, will ceme to bo tested. An opinion evidently gains ground in intelligent quarters that it will prove a failure.

Speculations on an immense scale have bi.an made and still continue for the talk There have pruhabiy been proiluiss I by the apprehended effect of the disagreement of the French and IlngPsh Cabinets on the subject of the probable intersention in Portnzil. The market is, however, just in that state in which news in the plighte4 degree favourable would cu. ca steady and continucil rise. In railway shares the fall will pro hibly continue, owing to the approaching rails. A violent pee ronol dispute took place before the Minister of Public Works, between the clireitirs of the Have,. and. Rouen line and the authoritlis of the Punts et CualaCest which went even to the eau nt of the use of offenaive language. It is probalic, however, that matters will be adjusted, and that before January continuous railway commitnic,tiun will be esta blished hom Paris to Havre in one direction, and Paris to Abbeville the other.
