C ALL VCDPIt RAILWAT.— /int ewe wider the Abandonment of Railways Aet.— Yesterday, the report of the commissioners of railways, waled for by the House of lords, was presented. It stated that the application of the company for authority to abandon their railway under the Railway Abandonment Act, was reei ised by the commissioners on the 19th of September. 18io, representing that out of the 3,200 shares of which company's capital consisted, shareholders holding 2,384 share had assentext to the application fur its abandon ment. awl that other shareholders holding only 42 sham had dissented, upon which and other requirements of the act being complied with the commissioners granted a warrant for its abandonment. The applicants stated as the rowed for their application that the expense of the works woeld far tarred any reasonable remuneration that could be expected from so short a railway being worked as an in dependent line, though their act contained a power of leming the line to the Scottish Central Railway, and as no objections were brought before the commissioners by the latter company, or by the landowners or the local interest, and as the line did not form a link in any principal line of communication, it did not appear that any public interests were Modred that could render it advisable to hold the company to their undertaking. The statement of the financial position of the company as rendered'to the com missioners set forth that the line was ten miles long. capital 80,0001. in 3,200 shares of 2.51. each.

The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate- street , to receive the report of the directors. Major W. llxstesroati, M.P., presided. The directirs' report was as follows:—" The directors have to report, that the negotiations which they have ea tered into with the Lends and Thirsk Railway Company have successfully terminated, and that an agreement has been concluded fur the transfer to that company of the por tion of your hue (about 21 miles) which the Leeds and Think Company was empowered to purchase by their act, 1848. The purchase money is to be fixed by valuation, and in case of difference, it is to he settled by arbitration, under the Company's Clauses Consolidation act, 1844 ;' provision has, however, been made for the use of that line by this company, in ease it should hereafter be required. Year directors have given their serious consideration to the course most advisable to be pursued with respect to the residue of the line. They) arc glad to find that efforts are nicking to induce the Railway Commissioners to promote a modification of the Railway Abandonment Act, so as to remove the provisions which bear so harshly upon railway companies, and subject to the issue of this application, the directors are unanimously of opinion that so soon as it can be wifely done, it would be prudent to take advantage of the Abandonment Aet to bring the company within smaller limits, and that your directors should be authorised to apply for renewed parliamentary powers over that portion of the line which should not be abandoned. Your directors may also inti mate to you, that idler having opened negotiations with in flatentiel partits cossetted with other companies, they hope thereby to suecced In further protecting the property of the shareholder. The utmost exertions continue to be exer cised for the recovery of the arrears due on certain shares, and your directors rely on a considerable amount being ob tained over and above that already received. The directors recommend the confirmation by this meeting of the forfei ture of certain shares on which the call is in arrear, and of which due notice has been given. The balance-sheet is appended hereto, showing a credit balance of 28,3721. Is. Cal." The report was adopted unanimously. A resolution was then passed fur the forfeiture of 190 shares, the calls on which were in arrear. The retiring directors were then re-elected. Mr. Wilkinson was ch o sen as an auditor. . . Mr. HARRISON moved a resolution empowering the directors to take measures fur effecting some modification of the Railway Abandonment Act in relation to the provisions which bear so harshly on Railway Companies, and that sub ject to this, the sense of the proprietors he taken as to the abandonment of such portion of the line as the directors zinnia deem advisable. The resolution was seconded and agreed to. Mr. SARIS moved a resolution fur empowering the direc tors to enter into negotiation with other companies, with a view to the advancement of the interest of the Northern Counties Union Railway Company. This motion was also seconded and passed unanimously. After a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting adjourned. VALE OF NEATH RAILWAY. On Wednesday the half-yearly meeting of thin company was held at the George Hotel, in Chepstow. The choir was taken by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Lord VILLIIII4I, The report set forth that " arrangements have been made by which that portion of the main line extending from the point at which the branch diverges to Aberdare, as far as the Wyrfa Colliery (a distance of about three miles), will be forthwith placed in the contractor's hands. By this measure they hope not only to secure a considerable addi tion to their coal traffic, but also a large carrying trade in con nexion with the extensive iron works in that neighbourhood. Contracts had been entered into fur rolling stock, and ten ' ders had been received for passenger carriages." With regard to the great objects of the meeting (which war made special after the transaction of the ordinary businea), the directors dwelt on the importance of securing a good shipping outlet for the mineral traffic, and thus pro ceeded : "With this view the branl had originally entered into arrangements with the South Wales Company, for the construction of a branch from !loath to the wharves at Briton Ferry; but when, in the early part of the past year, a scheme for the fiormation of floating docks in Raglan Bay was projected, the directors of the South Wales Com pany entered into certain arrangements with the promoters of the scheme for assisting the undertaking, and for substi tuting that work for the Briton Ferry Branch, previously proposal; the aid of this company, who were principally interested, was sought, and as they had no legal power to subscribe or to lay out money on the proposed site, as was the ease with the South Wales Company, a provisional arrangement was made, by which the `ale of Ncath Com pany were to guarantee the payment of certain tolls to the South Wales Company fur the use of their line to Baglun Bay, in lieu of the payment previously agreed on for the Briton Ferry Branch, and alsolool. a year in tolls and dues to the Dock Company; upon which the promoters might raise a corresponding portion of their required capital. In preparing the hill fur the Dock Company, however, difft cultioa have arisen in framing, according to any usual par mentary forms, clauses by which the Dock Company could obtain powers to appropriate any eeparate and distinct por tion of their toile to the raising of money; and it seems necessary that the Vale of Neath Railway Company should become holders of stock in lieu of guaranteeing an annual payment. • • • • Arrangements have been made with the South Wales Com pany, by which undisturbed communication will be secured to Om Vale of Neath Company over the South Wales line to the proposed docks. A resolution authorising the direc tors to carry out the intention of the clauses act forth in the bill, will lie proposed fiar the adoption of the special meet in le aving it to the discretion of the shareholders on some subsequent occasion to consider whether the said subscrip tion s all form part of the original capital, or whether new shares shall be created in their undertaking to the amount of the Laid subscription. The remaining question for the consideration of the special meeting is, a bill intended to he applied for by the South Wales Company, authorising certain arrangements fur station accommodation at Neath." The report WAS adopted nern. eon. The retiring auditors aad directors were re-elected, and thanks were Toted to the auditors. Brum'. Meartsto.—The meeting was occupied some hours in discussing the proposition submitted to them at the special meeting, as alluded to in the report. The first for carrying out the proposition in regard to station accommo dation at Heath, was agreed to nem. con. The neat question fur discussion was as to the proposed subscription of 20,0001. towards the formiug of Hosting docks at Raglan Bay. The solicitor to the company having ' read the clauses in the South Wales bill, Mr. H. A. BRUCE moved a resolution for subscribing the above amount to the undertaking. Because power was asked for to subscribe this amount it was not actually im perative that they should spend it. They might spend 10,0001., or the whole 59.0001. might be required. Mr. BRUCE I'RYCE, as the owner of 2,000 acres of mineral country partly undeveloped thought the proposi tion was the most important that had' ever been made to the shareholders, and in ihat feeling seconded it. Kr. JENKINS asked fur an explanation of the sum being so large, and The CHAIRMAN explained that linter alia) it would give she company power in the management of the docks. Other explanations were given, and at length the meet ir4 came to the vote, and the resolution approving of the subscription, &c., was carried without opposition. A vote of thanks to the noble chairman closed the pro ettedinp. EXETER AND EXMOUTH. The half-yearly meeting of thi.company was held ' Yesterday at the Condon Tavern, Bishoingate•street ; Mr. W, • tittuaza took the choir. . . . . The report was brief, and recommended the shareholders to agree to measures being taken for winding up the com pany, seeing that the line by which they expected assistance was not to be carried out, namely. the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester. The directors reminded the shareholders of the agreement which already existed on the part of the London and South Western Company to guarantee them per cent. on the completion of the Exeter and Exmouth, and 4 per cent. during the construction of the works, from which they expected some compensation in the event of winding up the company. The report concluded by recom mending the shareholders to appoint a euramittee of directors to confer with the South Western board for that Pu Zeaceo nnu showed a balance of 5,1631. in favour of the company. Mr. CHAPLIN, M.P., said he was one of their earliest shareholders, holding 129 shares, and also represented the South Western Company. He thought any negotiation might be more likely to be successful by way of conference with the South Western directors, than by any detail that might be gonc into at this meeting. A PROPRIETOR thought the South Western Company ought to pay something for being relieved of the responsi bility of paying 51 per cent. for a line which, if constructed, might not bring in 3 or 4 per cent. After some further observations the report was adopted.' The committee was then appointed to confer with the directors of the South Western Company. The meeting then adjourned. OLDHAM ALLIANCE RAILWAY. --- Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company, the works of which were suspended immediately after ob tainmg an act of incorporation, was held at Oldham ; Mr. EDWARD ABBOT WRIGHT, director, presided. There was bat a mall attendance of shareholders. Mr. BLACK DUANE, secretary, read the following re port of the directors —" A further amount of interest on the remaining capital of this company having accumulated since the last division in March, 1830, your directors are enabled to recommend that a sum of Is. 2d. per share (clear of income tax) be made payable on the 7th March next, to the share holders whose names appear on the register sealed at this SECOND EDITION.

Mr. GEORGE MARLOW asked whether there was any prospect of the shareholders having a division of the capital remaining, and getting their money hack. The CHAIRMAN said this qui.stion had several tines engaged the attention of the board, but they were of opinion that it was inadvisable to divide the capital, or interfere with it at present. A vote of thanks was given to the directors and auditors, and the meeting separated. SHEFFIELD, IiOTHERHAM, WAKEFIELD, lII:DDERS- Tiara), AND Goon , . ltattwaY.—The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Company's offices in Wakefield, on Wednesday last, the 19th inst. Mr. John Ilarff in the chair. The report stated that the amount of outstanding liabilities to landowners, contractors, and others, which at the last half-yearly meet ing amounted to about 16,000/., has been reduced on the 31st of December last by about 6,500/, and up to this day they have been still further reduced, so as to leave the amount of known claims now outstanding at about 4,000/., and with contingencies which may increase that amount to 4,500/. These will be paid off as the objection to titles to land and other matters are from time to time disposed of. To meet these claims the company has assets, including the 2s. 6d. per share, to be retained for the first two half years 63 per share, as per resolution of the ge neral meeting in February last, amounting to 4,6001. The report having been read, it was resolved, on the motion of the chairman, that such report be received and adopted, and that it be printed for circulation amongst the proprietors. It was also resolved, " That a dividend on the guaranteed stock, for the half-year ending 31st I)!ectm ber last, at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum he now declared, less income tat, and less 2s. 6d, per share deduction! as authorised at the uuasting held on the 20th February, !, 1850." Another resolution was pawed, continuing the for feiture of a number of share; declared by the directors to have been forfeited, and the meeting concluded. BANK Of ILNOLAND.7.tecoci Al►l Not*.

MONEY MARKET. THIS DAT. Two o'Ctoix, The ministerial defeat of bud night it;sbcs.;;Try quietly received in the City. So far from any alarm being expressed as to a ministerial crisis, the feeling seems to be one of satisfaction at getting rid of an incapable official at the head of the Exchequer. It is considered, too, that a salutary influence has been exercised on Lord John, whose numerous promises of contemplated reforms are supposed to be consequent on the serious lesson he has received. Considerable interest is felt to know the determination come to at the meeting of protectionist members, suddenly called together at Lord Stanley s, for three o'clock this afternoon. The general feeling of the stock market is decidedly one of dulness, an indisposition being i shown to ope rate pending the consideration of the important mea sures now before the House of Commons. Prices experienced a further slight depression, notwithstand ing a continuance of the purchases on public account. Consols opened fiat, at 961 to 1, both for money and account, but they are at present just a shade steadier, at 96,1 to 1 for cash, and 961 for the 11th of March.

Several shareholders have ex pressed their anxiety on this subject. The directors still affirm that they save 30,000/. yearly, and yet it is stated the prices paid for renewal of rails and other items bring up the total charges to the old amount. It is very desirable that some definite information should be given by the company on this head, as it is a subject of very great importance.

Grocery lumps, 495. to as.
