Friday next, the 23rd instant, has been fixed tor the Stock Exchange settlement in the new inns of shares of the Great Western Railway of Canada. We are informed that a company is in course of formation, under the Limited Liability Act, for the renewal and working of the West Ham Distillery. This business, it will be remembered, was formerly in the hands of Mears. Davidson sod Gordon, and is stated to have yielded considerable profits. The works are described as eligibly situated, bring only a quarter of a mile from the river landing-place, and an equal distance from the ' Eastern Coun , ies Railway. The manager is to be Mr. Thomsa Webb, to whom the distillery formerly belonged, and who formed and conducted the business from its commencement.

The funds to-day opened with renewed buoyancy, and soon attained a fresh rise of 1 per cent. Some considerable sales in realisation of profits ensuing, a reaction of per cent. took place, but at the close the feeling was again firm, and the latest quotations were equal to those of yesterday. In general cha racter the market remains good. A very favourable impression has been produced by the Budget, which fully confirms the Chancellor of the Exche quer's previous statements with regard to the limited amount of stock that has yet to be erected to finally clear off the expenses of the war. The steady influx of gold, coupled with the prospect of diminished exports of the precious metal, is also hopefully regarded. In considering the priced Consols, it must likewise be remembered that immediately after the 4th of June, when the present " account " terminates, the half-yearly divi dend will be deducted from the market quotation. In the discount market there was a fuil supply of money this afternoon, owing partly to the release of the surplus deposits on the loan. The scrip of the new loan rose this morning to 2 to 21 prem., and left off at 11 to 1I prem. Consols opened at yesterday's final quotation of 941 to 3 for the 4th of June, improved to 941 to 1, declined to 911 to 1, and stood at the close of the house at 941 exactly.

NEWSVENDERS' BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT INOTTTOTION.—Lot evening the seventeenth annual meet ing of the institution was held at the Freems.ons Tavern. In the absence of Herbert ferrate, Esq., M.P., ebe chair waeocatipied by Mr. L. Wild, who, after stating the objects of the charity, made an earnest appeal in its behalf. There was a marked improvement in the Scandal state of their affairs; and he was certain, bf the aid of his brother newsmen, morn brilliant result@ might be realised. Messrs. Terry, Walter, Oravatt, and Wright also addressed the meeting ; and several regolutices having be- n curried, the company adjourned to a public sapper, in aid of the institution, at which Mr. H Ingram presided, and who was received with load sheen. He was proud in being Preens' on such an oecasion ; he bad been • newevender himself, end by dint of exertions he had arrived et his pre seat position. His place of belie's' was in the c;.untry when in the " news Line." At that time the order of con veyance wee not BO ter it as at present ; and the oft repeated applieatioes for Loed,n news, suggested to him the title of his now largely eatabliahed paper—the " Illustrated Lcsadosi News." Several toads were then drank—among the rest that of Mr. Charles 1) diens, president of the it stitution, given by Mark lemon, Esq. The mw.icel arrangements were carefully mate, and the whole entertsinme-t passed off sereeably. A handaome eoliection was raised. THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT WOOLWICH —Yoder day an inquest was opened by Mr. Car er, coroner for West Kent, on the body of Thomas Powell, who !net his life on Friday last at the Wm lwioh Arsenal, under cireunistantex already published: The evidence showed that at the time of the raplosirm the deceased was in the act of drilling a uurbillon rocket when It exploded, and a shower of tire in stantly communicated with 2.000 squibs and other tires works, but no light was thrown on the cause of the accident, which it was stated could not be amounted for ester t sport the supro , ition that the deceased had used t much face, or lad neglected to c-ol the Grid. Cap ale Evan, 8.A.. Superintendent of its Hopi Laboratories, described th• process of guiltiest the toorbillon rocket and drilling the holes. He considered that steel was the be-t metal to a drill, any other metal would *toner become bleat, and re quire mere L•ree, end cossolnently t roduce nacre friction. The process of making the Tristane is question was not set delirious es that of making the war rockets sad faun. in the latter case, the dill had to pass through motel instead of through paper. The inquiry was this ad journed.
