Tii 00eris DongB.—A meeting of the Menu attaren of Biresiegbatin, consumers of copper, was held in linreemotittee-inem dike Town-hall yesterday, to cwaider Ike psepekti of taking steps to obtan • reduction of the klieg em upper. —The Mayor baring been ca lled to the ellmir,eaid there ereald be no doubt tam taking the dilly off Via en oval an be of benefit to the manulactieer,as would Vllefts use by taking the duty off the an Ma! LE the very nature of the smelting trade retaking every large espltel, and thus throwing it into the lambed very limited ameba, it was a class monopoly. The beadsl posed by the government would ne ver reach B= b llll 4 consequence of there still being a duty on tie haesp. per, which was the raw material of Birmingham's' tie ew wee that of the smelters. lie did not imagine whin waft governmen t proposition, that it was still intended Ilehrigfp the duty on copper , and rem it it on the ore, bemuse be did *Mae how, oonsistently with their principles, the government could do so. It woe so notwithstanding, and it therefore only remained fur Birmingham to go to the government to show the effect of retaining the duty on finished copper was disastrous to them and unjust in principle, to obtain whet they were met together to endeavour to secure—the remis non of the duty on the copper as well as the era. Atoll events tithe government determined to peysevero, or declined to in terfere, he believed that the move cil principles upon which trade was now conducted had a sufficient number of video •ites in the HMSO of Commons tc prevent the tax being con tieued.—Mr. H. Smith remarked that the object of the meeting was simply this—to ask the question whether they ought not new to try to obtain all those advantages which extended to every other manufacture in the couutry—he meant the purcnasing of the raw material in the market of the world, end paying only that price for it which competi tion might fix. Under the present law they could not do so ; they _were entirely in the hands of the master smelters, who 'said do with them u they pleased. This, as many of the gem lemee knew, was no question to Birmingham. In former the course pursued by the companies in C ornwall Yeilinniwansca was found to be an evil of such magnitude Iket moral public companies were formed by subscription, emormad into competition with those previously established, MI Om in lOW degree m i t i gat ed the evil. It Win quite eiwoossissiff my eset= about the propriety of granting boom might be said about the netts li •inteelend stimulating a young tra de b y p ro- Za rred ki • eilitelepli did not think that at the present day * e4eseent ereeld meet with much attention. But the .M 0 was changed when these establishments had arrived at gay, when the supply was not only equal te the other de fends beta great surplus was c reated and exported to , asenlies, there competing with what came from other trialete. Om lowering the price, and enabling the foreign esrmeiMmme not only to compete with those of this , einead, but to compete with them under their very Illiredagnaaa. It was well known that a few years age sew relaxation was given, and copper was admitted at C analia duty. It was sup Posed that to • certain extent it would be productive of benefit to the consumon ; but with the exception of some individuals, who undoubtedly derived advantage from it, it was not equivalent to what was paid for it. It did not find its way into the Lands of the mercbants, and thence tpassed o the into manufactur aner, but, on the contrary, generally tbe hds of the smelters, who mixed it with their own ore ; bat, bniag ac companied be the monopoly they enjoyed, they could consequently ask any price for it they chose by any increased demand, the manufacturers thus deriving no advantage whatever on the reduction of the duty on the ore. This was the case till 1846, when Sir It. Peel, with a spirit that did him much credit, brought in his free-trade me iaures. On that occasion they thought that the manufacturers of Birmingham should be placed in the same position as other branches of trade throughout the oratory; that tiny should be dealt with by equal laws. They expected that, from the soundness of the principles and the power, ability, and character of the minister, that they would tent be disapvinted. They did, however, suffer dis appointment; and they found that Birmingham wee still to be subjected to the laws of monopoly in opposition to that prineiple which was declared to bo the rule of the nation, that when the manufacturer should be subject to competi tion, he should also be allowed to buy his materials at com petition price. Mr. Monts, at his request, waited on the minister on the subject; but be was informed that govern- Sent could not give up the 40,0001. per annum they derived front Viet source, even although Birmingham should suffer to that extent. Now circumstances had again changed.; moreples o light had sho ne in on te resent day, and the princi f free trade had beenr ec o gnised . On that principle they should consider whether they would not take steps to bring the matter before parliament en affecting their inter ests. t appeared to him tha', forming, as copper did, the staple of the great bulk of the Birmiogham manufactures — employing, as it did, the great proportion of the population— , they bade right to claim the full advantage of this principle vied those acts which were extended to other trades. If he Smith) understood the CU3 right, it simply tame to eithn that by the free importation of copper the in. HMS of the smelters would be affected or they would tell If they would mit be affected, then there was no seeemity for the law at all ; but if they would, was it just to add the duty to the price of the raw material, to save the pockets of the smelters for the damage of the manufacturers and the people ? There was no diffirence between the question of free trade as it affected the farmer and the smelter. Mr. Smith then alluded to the numbers Zgf.inrtamia,rillu,f"..t.urrnui°l:,,iwrheiresh t l eciz i r e r t e h d e , y r e; i n i a d r ka might to claim the same repaid for their capital as was ex tended to Manchester,Glasgow, Sheffield, or Leeds ; but when he looked to the working men—when he considered the little trouble they caused the government, how intelligent and well-conducted they were, and how patiently they bore &li tress the most extreme, he did sometimes think that govers• meat forgot their existence, and that they bad a right also to enjoy those privileges which others were entitled to. He had made out a loose list, merely from recollection and off baud, of different trades in Birmingham—not individual establishments —of which copper was the basis, to a more or less extent. lie had reckoned thirty-two or thirty-tour of them, and there might very probably be as many more. After alluding to the question of competition, of which he bad so fears, feeling convinced that the British artisan could beat the foreigner , with all his advantages, provided the raw material were obtained on equal terms, Mr. Smith remarked that under the present laws they were now sub . jetted to the competition of the French and German manu facturers. This was one law that affected them; but there was another. The smelters in Cornwall and Wales having a monopoly of tie Engi.h market. PCii all that they chose to send them, at whatever prices they might fix, and at whatever short credit they might choose to determine. Mr. Smith. after a brief recapitulation of all the arguments against the present system, concluded by reading a resolu tion in accordance with the tenor of his address.—Mr. J. Pemberton seconded the motion.—Messrs. W. C. Alston and others addressed the meeting.—lt was agreed that a me morial should be presented to the President of the Board of Trade, and that, if necevosry, a petition should be prepared and presented to parliament. Tae proceedings concluded by a vote of thanks to the chairman.

Sanders and Mr. Sewell conducted the prosecution i Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Poulden for the prisoner.—The prisoner was the manager of the Christchurch brooch of the Wells and Dorset Bank. The evidence showed that he had almost unlimited authority, ' and, except as limited by a book of instructions, which gave him authority only to advance moneys to the extent of 2001., he hadpower to advance money at his discretion • if for larger awns than 200 1 . it required the authority fr om the chief bank to do so. fits accounts were examined seldom mom than MINI a year, and then tb examination was mere) to the extent that the h e ad manager called at the branc h bank at Christchurch and mined exa the accounts of the Weeding day, in order ee that the cash book and the general balance-book agreed, and that the money in the till was correct. During the THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1848, railway mania the prisoner entered largely into spe culation, and was also employed by a lir. James Kemp Welch, • partner in the bank, to act as his broker. Many accounts had taken place between them. Sometimes the peisoner paid money on account of Mr. James Kemp Welch, and sometimes Mr. Ju. Kemp Welsh paid the money which might be due upon the balance of the account. It appeared that, on the 25th August, 1847, a 31r. Palen had paid in to the ardent of a Mr. Skipwiek t o the Christchurch Bank a sem of 1,4671. 15e. 9d. This had been paid to King, the clerk, at the bank, who entered it in the books ; but, on producing the books at the trial, it appeared that the sum was only 4671. 15,. ' and, by the evidence of King , the I had been converted into a 0, and that the manager (the wiener) told him (King) that he had made the alteration himself. The cash-book kept by the manager ought to contain a similar entry to the one in the log or rough book kept by theclerk, and lathe manager's book there is an entry er the 25th August in the prisoner's handwriting, of 4871. 15s. 9d., paid on Mr. Paine's account by Mr. Skipwick , and this was the onlfentry. On the Ist September the prisoner went away, and left with King, the clerk in the bank, an lOU in blank. signed" Tye., Welch, and C 0.," with iestructionsoontained is &sealed letter, which I t h e clerk King was to open in case the head manager should come to inspect the accounts during his absence ; in which I case the clerk was to till up the I 0 U with the amount Cllll - in a list inclosed in the letter. The bead manager did not come in hie absence, and consequently King had no occasion to use the letter or the list, and they were returned to the prisoner in the same state as received. On Sept. 9 the prisoner senifor King to the bank, and told him he had got into a great mess with shares, and was going to make use of the I 0 U. He said Mr. Welch must recover upon the I 0 U from the parties whose names he put upon a piece of paper (Wm. Cuss and Mr. North), and that the prisoner must make up the deficiency; he said that King should pre sent the 1 0 U on the following day, at the bask of Tye', Welch, and Co., after the usual exchange. He produced an I 0 U and a list, the same that he had previously given to King, and which he had returned. The I 0 U was the filled up in King's presents by the prisoner; a few altera tions were made in the lid. He said he had written a letter of resignation to the head office, which he rsquested King would post on Saturday. It was then Thursday. He gave it to ling, mated. Ile told him to enter the names and monies contained in the list in the bank books after he had presented the I 0 U. The amounts were to b moune en tered to the ceedit of the parties. The total a 2d.t the I 0 U was filled up for was 8,4771. 41. The usual exchange was on the following morning. King went to the bank on Friday morning, and the usual exchange was made. Prisoner left about ten the evening before. He went in the afternoon afterwards and presented the I 0 U, and left it with Mr. O. Welch, a clerk in the hank, who said he knew nothing about it, and asked him to leave it. King entered the names and sums in the log or rough book in the morning, having leisure time in the mores g. The entries would appear as transactions of that day. On the Friday night he posted the letter of resignation. There was at that time a local director at Christchurch who occasionally inspected the accounts. King made no com munication to him at this time. lie wrote to the general manager on Friday night when he sent the letter of risisna don. It appeared that the prisoner had had many transac tions in railway speculations with Mr. James Kemp Welch, a partner in the firm of Tyce, Welch, and Co., or Christ church, who acted es broker for the prisoner; and on uric occasion he gave the prisoner thel 0 Uinquestion in blank to fill up with rheamount that might be due on a certain account day, and which was not then ascertained, in case the balance should be against Mr. James Kemp Welch. The following is the evidence of Mr. Welch: I am a surgeon, and partner in the bank at Christchurch. The letters 1 0 U, and signature "Tye*, Welch, and C 0.," are in my handwriting ; the rest is not mine. I know the prisoner. I n gave authority to him that any words should he entered iu the 10 U. I gal) the 10U to the prisoner. gave the prisoner authority, in the event ot r way transacuons which I had being adverse, to till up the I 0 U for the sum I might owe him. The amount would be what would be du* to him. On a settling day I was not able to ascertain the exact amount, and there fore left blank. 1 owed him nothing eathe 11 thWM S e ptember, when the I 0 U was presented, that I aware of.—Examined by Mr. Cockburn: I am partner. Mr. Tyee is the other partner. Ido not know whether the articles of partnership prohibited speculation. 1 speculated for the account, and did not hold the shares with my Owl private funds. The prisoner asked me if I did any thing in shares. I said I bad *eked for an allotment or two. I sometimes bought for the account through brokers in Lon don. I was principally unsuccessful. The prisoner same tines found the funds to meet the low on the account. I paid him by letters of credit in London and by orlers on my bankers. Ido nut know whether Mr. Cuss and Mr. North are mixed up with these transactions. I will not say that the amount of these transactions amounted to 38,0001. The prisoner and I were never jointly concerned ; he was my , broker and received half the commiseionfrom my agent for doing my business. Marshall and Mullins were my tint brokers, and afterwards the prisoner. The amount I may have paid Bishop, the prisoner, I will swear amounted to 3,0000!. or 2,000!. 1 think I may swear this. It was shout that BUM The accounts were afterwards inspected and the de ficiency discovered. The prisoner was afterwards taken into . custody on the charge of embezzlement. Justice Wightman summed up to the jury, and told them that if they were of opinion that the prisoner made the entry with the intention of deceiving his employers es to the amount that he had actually received, that he was guilty of embezzlement, and even though he might have at the same time an intention of repaying the rnoney.—The jury found the prisoner guilty of embezzlement. The sentence was CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COERT.—Before tee Recorder. ALLEGRO FOROEILT.—Joseph Wadsworth surrendered to answer a charge of feloniously forging and uttering a bill of tubing* for 3001., with intent to defraud.—ln this case there had been no inquiry before • magistrate, but the pro secutors obtained • bill apon evidence tendered before the, grand jury two sessions ago, and the defendant was admitted to bail by the court. The circumstances under whi. h the charge was preferred were of rather au estraordinary cha racter. The prosecutor was a carpenter, named Barrett, and during the year 1816, while he was engaged in some build ing speculations, be obtained some money upon loan from a society called the Caledonian Loan Society, which had for se cretary at that time a person named M'Greaor, who was subsequently removed from that office, whisk was then fill , d by the prisoner: During the transactions between the parties various bills of exchange were given by Barrett, and among them a bill for 3001., which the prosecutor represented to have been one at tour months' date, and which would have become due on the 16th Jan.. 1847. No such bill as this it appeared ever came to light; but in Dec., 1846, a bill at three months, for the same amount, was presented to Barrett and legal proceedings taken upon it, and this was the bill which formed the sub ject of the pre,. nt inquiry, the question being whether it realy was th bill given by Barrett to the society as a forged instr l ument. e The principal witness was Mr. M'Gregor, the former secretary; and according to his evidence the bill really given by Barrett was • four mouths' bill. He also said that he himself drew the genuine Lill, as was his custom, before it was accepted by Barrett, whereas the instrument alleged to be a forgery was drawn by the prisoner. On crossamunination the sigmas said that bis attorney was named Davis, but he had had we communication with him, and only saw a person named Bur nell, who acted as his clerk; but he declined to state whe ther he was aware that that man wall a returned transport. lie also said that although he was aware of the forgery having been committed, he took no steps to go before a ma gistrate, but, by the advice of Burnell, he went with him before the grand jury, mid preferred the present charge. In answer to questions nut by the court, the witness said that he could not state win tiler the acceptance was Barrett's handwriting or not, and te could not say anything about it.—After a great deal of evidence had been gone through, Serjeant Wilkins was about to address the jury for the de fence, when they intimated that they were perfectly satisfied that the acceptance was in the handwriting of B ineta—The Recorder said if this were wi there was an end of the case; and a verdict of Not Guilty was recorded. NEW COURT.—Before the Common Scrjesnt and tatlerrom Challis and Mangrove. ROBSERIN—AIITTVL DEPENCI.— W. Young, 32, a waiter, was indicted for Laving stolen a watch, value 64., and appen dages and two lockets, • lase 31., the property of Elizabeth Lywo'cid.—The prOMeutrig deposed that she was a widow, residing et 19, Eastebesp. The prisoner bad been ter con fidential servant for nine yenta, and it had frequently oc curred that he had heel left in the entire care of her whole property. On the 7th of February, about haltpast three in the afternoon. she saw the articles stolen safe in a draw, r in her room, end at half-past six she discovered that they were gone. She suspected the pri.oner, MI no ono else had had an opportunity of taking them. She asked him about them, hat he denied all knowledge of the matter, promising, however, to try and trace the watch. A reword was offered for the recovery of the property, and on the following Satur day the priooner said ho had succeeded in tracing the watch pawned to a pawnbroker's in Holborn, where they were for 21. 10s. Subsequently the lockets were found by the police at a pawnbroker's in Clare-market. Witness at once redeemed the watch.—Mrs. Emily Wilson stated that she lived at 20, New Church-court, Strand. In the early part of February the prisoner came to her house as a single man out of a situation, and he placed in her hands a gold watch, borrowing half a crown from her, and asking her to pledge it for hint. She remarked that it was a lady's watch, upon which he said it had forme d p art of a legacy bequeathed to him by a maiden aunt, who had also fixed upon him an an nuity of 501. She did pawn the watch at the place where it wan found.—Ann Ledbrook, a single woman living with the last witness. gave corroborative evidence. The prisoner gave her a locket. which was afterwards pledged.—Wilson was recalled She saw a handbill giving a description of a stolen watch, and offering a reward for its recovery. Be lieving the watch given her by the prisoner to be the one alluded to she gave infor mation to the police.—The prisoner, in his defence, made a long roundabout story, in which he eadeavoured to inculpate a person named Thomas Peerman. He said that Peerman was intimately acquainted with the witness Wilson, and he (Peerman) had stolen the watch and given it to her, and it had been agreed between them to throw the charge upon him.—The witnesses Wilson and Ledbrook were recalled, end positively contradicted the prisoner's statement —The learned Judge, in summing up, said this was a somewhat peculiar case, for, if the jury believed the case made out for the prosecution, it was clear that the pricoaerabad stolen the watch, seals, &c., and that he had afterwards pretended to trace them to get the reward, while now ha scented two innocent persons of conspiring to convict him. —Tbe jury immediately re turned a verdict of Guilty.—The prisoner said he was inno cent, and if the termed at Collins's, in Chancery-lane, were called, she coald prove that the witzert Wilson and PI; C Mal were together there, with the watch in their pm- I swelos, on the tit was pawned.—The Common Serjeant scut *police officer ei Mr. Collins to ask the barmaid to attend the coact.—On the officsee return he said the partim would not attend unless submened. They told him, how ever. that they knew nothing material about the matter further than that Wilson left a parcel there on the night queation.—The Common Serjeant said the prisoner wise a cunning, artful thief. He deserved transportation, but, on account of the mmendation of the prosecutrix, the sen tence was, that he reco be kept to hard labour fur one year. POLICE.—YESTEILDAT. GIIILDHALL.—A SOCIAL ATTSMPT AT SVICIDI.—A solicitor's clerk, named Thomas Wyatt, of Saville-street, Marylebooe, was placed at the bar, charged with attempting to fling himself over Blockfriars-bridge into the river. From the statement of John Baldwin, it appeared that while passing over BlaCkfriatAbridge with a friend the pre vious day the prisoner earns up, and said that he iebinded destroying himself by jumping off the bridge, and asked him (witness) to accompany him in his journey. Baldwin declined the invitation, and after walking • few yards fur ther on, the prisoner went into one of the TTee-see, and having got on the top of the parapet was about to throw himself into the river, when Baldwin and his friend ran forward, and secured him, after which they gave him into cu stody. On his person was found a namber of k e y s end papers, with 20. 10d. in money.—Alderman &demons asked the prisoner what he had to say for himself. —The for d, in • whining toes, that he was very sorry for what he had done, and if be wu forgiven he would ver, never do it again. (Laughter). He had taken a little drop, and it had an effect upon him.—Alderman Salomons, trust ing he would not be so foolish as to make a similar attempt, discharged him. WESTMINSTER.—Muananotte ASSAULT,— T. Ingrain was finally examined, charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Elie ibeth Harris.—The prosecutrix and the prisoner were in company with some friends at the Cheshire Cheese, Queens-road, Chelsea, on the 7th inst., when the prisoner expressed a wish to sea her home. She ob)ected, upon which he accused her of being fond of somebody else, and, seising a large kitchen poker which mood in the fire place, struck her three times on the head with it, and felled her to the ground. There he made another blow at her head, which she, however, warded off with her band, the latter being much hurt. h* was conveyed to the hospital, where :he has remained ever since.—Mr. Peyton, house surgeon at St. George's Hospital, proved that the injured female had two incised wounds upon her head when breaght in, and had been in considerable danger_ ever since. The poker produced (an exceedMgly large one, with sharp square edges) would have hatted such wounds. Her hand was also contused. Witness could not say that she was at pre sent out of danger, and did not consider her sufficiently well to attend upon the trial of the prisoner.—The prisoner was committed for trial. CLERKENWELL.—OOTIONINO GOODS UNDER FALat PASTUNcan —Copt J.Paulst ware-examine d, Chat pa with having obtained goods under false and fraudulent pretence+. The details of this case have already appeared. A man named Gray had called on Mr. Leon, a watchmaker, representing himself es a commercial traveller, and being about to go into the country. He said ho could act to their mutual ad vantage if he (prosecutor) would entrust him with some of his property for sale, when he gave a reference to the pri soner. Gray then obtained several watches and silver guard chains, to the amount of 501., which, of sour-e, were never again tatticoming.—Sevaral pawnbrokers identified the pri soner so having pledged watches and silver guari-chains be longing to the prosecutor (Mr. Leon). —The prisoner was committed for trial. MONEY MARKET. TtrenDAT EVININO. The more sobered appearance of the state of affairs in Paris, combined with the satisfactory announce ment of the proposed supplementary tax upon income aid property having been abandoned by the govern ment, in deference to the public voice, had a favour. able effect upon Consols, which recovered, though partially only, at the commencement of business from the extreme depression to which they had fallen, after the regular close of business yesterday. They were first marked as done at 93, a rise at once of 3 per cent. upon the bargains at extra hours yesterday, and of more than 11 per cent. upon the last official quota tions preceding them. The improved price, however, was maintained but a short time, and fluctuations succeeded each other for the remainder of the day almost as rapidly, and with differences nearly as wide, as on any day since the revolution in stocks followed upon the revolution in Paris. The extreme 5 points embraced in the variations were 81; as the I lowest and 831 as the highest prices at which real transactions were effected. In conclusion, Consols t, left off at 821 to for money, and 82 1 to 3 for account, with a market much more steady in appearance than *might have been ex- 1 5 . 1 pected from the confusion and turmoil which e prevailed during the earlier part of the day. Re duced Threes were 821 to 1. Three•and-a-Quarter per si Cents., 83; to 1. Loag Annuities, 8l to Fiche quer Bills, 4s. to 12s. premium. India Bonds, ss. f..! discount to ss. premium. Bank Stock, 190 to 5. India Stock, 232 to 4. 4 The settlement of account in the foreign stocks ushered in the of late unusual occurrence in that market of the declaration by several respectable par- i ties of inability to meet their engagemente. As they have been already published in the evening papers, It may be stated that the parties so in default were Mr. Preece, Mr. M'Mullen Mr. Duffell, Messrs. Banbury and Co., and Mr. Ridge. The failures might be sat ficieutly accounted for, perhaps, by the very heavy ' fall in nearly all foreign securities, and the almost sheer impossibility in such a crisis of disposing of any quantity upon any terms, so that recovery from unfortunate speculations upon a forthcoming enhance ment of values was out of the question. But it is understood that, in fact, more than one of the failures was attributable to the disappointment of remittances from abroad of parties on whose account go operations had been undertaken. Such remit tances, it is stated, had been rendered diffi cult, if not impracticable, in due course, by events springing out of the revolution in Paris, and reacting elsewhere, but it is still hoped may be made good shortly with more opportune occasion. The casual ties have chiefly resulted, it is said, from operations in Spanish, Portuguese, and Mexican bonds.

As a matter of curiosity, and of interest perhaps as well, it may be worth while to compare the fluctua tions in the public funds which followed upon the re volution of July, 1830, with those which have taleen place since the revolution of February, 1847, still it may be add in progetss, commenced. The French and English stocks slone need be noticed, and of these only the Three per Cents. At the beginning of June, 1830, the French Three per Cents. were quoted at 79, and some time previously had stood higher; Con sols at the same date were about 95. For some days after the July revolution was acc , ..mplished, so far as the dissolution of the government of Charles X., the Bourse was closed, and no dealings took place. The first report, so far as appears, was on the 7th August. The quotations before and at that date may be thus given : 1830. July 26, French Three per Cents., 78f. 50c Consols, 931 July 27, 726.40 e „ 92 Ans. 7, „ 761. 95e. For the week since the 22nd instant, which may be called the first day of the present revolution, the quo tations have been as follow for Consols; but as the Paris Bourse has been closed, and ie not to open till to-day, nothing can be known positively about those of the Rentes beyond the vague report of their being called from 50 to 5.5. 1847. Feb. 22. French Threes, ....... Consols 89 825 It wit aseen"that the fall in "Consols, for the first week now ended, is out of all proportion beyond the fall which occurred within nine days after the revolu tion of 1830 had commenced. How the French renter may show upon the opening of the Bourse this day remains to be seen. Some further details of the downward progress of the values of public secu rities in times of political commotion may be conve niently given on another occasion. ENGLISH YCNDB.

BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERRAMPTGIe, AND STOCK VALLEY Hatryearly Meeting.— birmingham, Feb. 29.—Mr. F. Ledsam in the chair.—The report gated that tenders for the coestruction of ths works of the tiorthwick deviation line and branch to Dudley had been advertised for in September last, but that, consequent on the If ont•y eerie and commercial etnbarrammenta which thee existed, the direc tor% had been compelled to re-consider the financial petition of ti e company, and arrthge for a slower progrese of the works, under the imprension that, by delaying the letting until the eyeing, the ointrette might be made on more advantageous terms. The mu tractors, therefore, received back their tenders, with an nstruction that they would have an oppertunity o ath tern derlog at a future time; and that the directors were justifitd do the course they arlopied was illustrated by the fact that the con tract for this past of the line had been let oit the at day within the eneinerr's estimate. It further appeared that satisfactory pee ler.. had been made with the henry cuttings and viaducts. The Get rail of 2!. 14s. per share had not be en expended, in conerquence 01 the delay in the works : one hal f, therefore, of the whole capital of the company had not been expended, a condition requited be the act before the lease to the London and North Western Comprare could be grunted theref re the terms of arrangement approved at the meeting of nextrop in February, ri rn.in over for curtfumutiun until the meetlng. The direct:ea prow ed to declare a number of shares tot kited on which the first call had not been paid ; and anticipating an improved elate of the money market, they hove resolved upon proceeding with the works with renewed Throw. With thin object they had made a fourth call of 11. 10e. per share, payable on the 24th of April next, and will take the neceiour, new to obtain the payment of arrears. The engineer'e report ad verted to the difficulties which had been experienced in obtaining ion of portions of the land; this and other eirtunsatanr re C ' c aused delay, and taking into consideration the finthcial state of the country, it had been determined to postpone the completion of the line uctil the end of the year 1049. Aden. tion had, however, been directed to the tunnel in Birmingham ; the two el./Atlas at Wolverhampton, and the excavation and embank ments near Tipton, all of which were proceeding most satisfactorily. The other =Veda were proceeding with more or lees expired:mi.!

Perth Feb. 2.5.—C01. Dalgai rn s in th e ch .--The directors' report stated that it was expected that the line would be ready for opening about the same time as the Scottish Central. The balance-sheet t 31st January last showed that at that period there was a balance due the company's tankers of upwards of 36,0001. ; but since then there has Leon received on account of arrear of call, 29,1.001., and 3,0.01. In ad vance of cells, thereby causing a correeponding tluninution of the ba lance due the hank. The report wait adopted.—On the in , tie n Dr. Thomson, the ratiririg thowtors (Lard 40 harnelitte, Mr. C. G. eeley, Mr. P. W. Ogilvie, and Col. Dalgairne: were rev reted.—The Chair man said that the direr - tors had remold a number of memorials against travelling by the railway on Sabbath, but that they had come to no resolution upon the subject. LONDONDERRY AND COLEItAINE —Half-yearly .1/Mlro. —London,Feb. •29.—Mr. J. G. Frith in the chair.—The repair, which weird great length, Mated that the present arrear of rells amounted to 64,0001. ; of this it was con 'need that the sum re 50,00 u/. would be paid, leaving 8 0 , 0001 . tom provided for the ee e achs pletion of the middle enclosure in two yea When the thr sores chill have been eteup.eted the number of acres belonging to the company will be 10,200, being 2,600 acres lees than originally de signed, the *difference being caused by th,o Admiralty having required the line of embankment to be set back 'antiwar, within the line chosen by the eng ineers. But taking the dirothithed number of acres as by the present plan, at the value of SO/. per acre, being 20 per cent. under the lowest estimate pat before the parliamentary committee, they will produce 310,0001. ; enough, in all reasonable probabil•ty,to pay for the reclamation, and also to provide the capital necessary for the cooptroction of the railway. Having regard to this Kati ment, the ! directors submitted three plans for erenideretion : I . To atop, and keep the prevent worts from falling into decoy. 2. To proceed at a tip eedsuch an will serve to complete the middle enclosure in two years. 3. To find the means necessary to complete it in a shorter time. The first of these plans would plainly be di...nether, and could, in the opinion of the directors, only be juntrecd by the insol vency of the company. The second promises a safe termination •ra the first and most important part of the work; but protracted much beyond the time anticipated, or necessary for its completion. The third seems to the directors the best way of forwarding the in tercets of the company under the present circumstances. Ir present', however, the difficulty ol finding the rum within the time requireu, which might be met by reeking part of it in senor of calls, and the remainder either in a loan under the borrowing powers of the coin. puny, or by, en issue of preference tharess, three shares -to be of two distinct ernes, which mar be held or sold independent of each other. No further call to be made upon the 20/. share until the full amount of the preterence share bee been paid up: the amount of interest to be allowed on the latter to be fixed at the discretion of & gen. tal meeting. By this meanie without any increase of the on capital, greatly increased facilities would be afforded in redwing the funds coronary for prosecuting the works. The reprxt concludes with the anormneement that, since the accounte were made up, the add ti sum of 2,22 0 '. had been received upon calls. The statement of ac count. to 31. t Jan. brat showed that 214.560/. 189. 3d. had been rer dyed. and 211,827/. 19s. Id. expended, leaving a balance of 1,732/. The Chairman. Chairman. in moving the adoption of the report regretted the delay which had taken place through the contractors; but he was happy to say that the works would in future be carried on more regularly.—Mr. Butts complained of the bad and nneorkrnisalite state dimmed the world at the time he went to Ireletel, and of the ill-treatment of the workmen by the contractor, Mr. Dreaming.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 29.—The astounding intelligence train France reteived during the last few days has produced such a state of excitement among all classes of the community that bug nese, particularly for the continent, may be said to knee been almost entirety suspended In this market abbe Friday last. Our merchants I await with anxious expectation the news by every mail aad express, and generally abstain from all operations which are not absolutely imperative, until something be ascertained rewarding the effects likely to be produced by the events now in progress on the continent. The deepest anxiety prevails as to what may take place in Maly and Belgium. All eyes are now turned towards Milan. By a telegraphic &arta, received about an hour ago, we learn that that city is in a state of siege. A considerable number of orders have darn cancelled for Italy and the Levant, and gouda on the point of being shipped for these quarters have in many cases been kept bock foe the present. In the absence of business operations, prices, both of geode sadyares, bare shown rather a downward tendency, although no positive lower quotations of any consequence can be named. A fair amount of at ticsness continues to be done kr Calcutta and Bombay, and generally old rates. The home trades houses are rather brisker, and a better feeling consequently prevails 'nth dim Notwanstanding the very serious suspetunou of !rale operitioos ig this market st the prment moment an under-eutrent of more hope ful feeliug a., to the future prospects of teasing' is perteptilie__ WOOLLENS. — Lantos, Feu. 20.—There was only se, different attendance of merchant* at our cloth Italia thin meralng, the transactions were $ eery limited character, the announcement of the thw u r ak i , of war by France against Austria having a most sancta effect on the market g.lierally.
