THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. The entire absent • of all speculative spirit on the I I part of the dealers in the English stock market is sufficiently shown by the circumstance that up to this hour not a single bargain for the account is marked in the official list, a very unusual circumstance. The tone of the Consol market. however, has been very steady, and the resumption of purchases by the government broker has given rise to a slight improvement, the price being at present quoted 961 to both fur money. and the account of the 111th of April. The other business in the department is limited to India Stock, at 214 for account. The operations in Exchequer Bills to-day consist chiefly of sales, and the price has declined Is.; all sizes mark 345., 315., and 549. prem.; do. advertised, .51s. and 535.; India Bonds, under 1,000/., 555. and .575. prem. Business in the foreign stock market continues very quiet, and prima are scarcely changed for any a scription. Spanish Bonds have only partially re covered from the fall which occurred yesterday. con sequent upon the publication of the advice's referred to below. The Passive portion, however, maintains its price. The list of actual transactions comprises only: Brazilian Did Five per Cent. small bonds, 911. Mexican Bonds for the 28th, 331, Portuguese Five per Cent., 59 ; ditto Five per Cent. Converted, 1841, for account, 36 ; ditto Four per Cent. for ac count, 33; 341. Spanish Active, Five per Cents., for account 21.1 ; ditto, Passive Bonds 51 4; ditto Three per Cents., 381. The committee of Spanish bondholders have for warded to us the following correspondence front Mr. Weisweilkr, by which it appears that gentleman re signs all hope of success from his own exertions, and urges the committee to take measures in England. Mr. Weiswciller has done in the best manner all that he can do, but it is evident that no effectual will be done for the bondholders until an uglish representative has been sent out. Why the Spanish bondholders should find any diffi culty to obtaining a suitable agent we cannot imagine, for we do not admit that the requisite funds cannot be raised. If our colonies and Indian depen dent princes can find representatives in the legisla ture, we cannot believe that a mission so honourable as that to Madrid on behalf of the Spanish bond holders would be rejected by men of standing. Although the engagements of some may not admit of their accepting such a charge, yet, without search ing far, it would be easy to find a man in whom the bondholders of England, France, and Holland could place confidence. Mr. Roebuck represented the provinces of Canada; the lion. Francis Scott that of Port Phillip ; Mr. Mac gregor, Prinee Edward's Island; and Mr. Anstey, Van Diemen 's Land on occasions of responsibility and difficulty, but there are many who have fulfilled public missions, or in whom commercial men have confidence. We may name the right hon. T. 13. Macaulay, Mr. J. 13. 'Smith, M.l'., President of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Urquhart, 14.1'., Sir Joshua Walmslev, M.P., Mr. Frederick Peel, Mr. William Marshall, M.P., and the Hon. C. P. Villiers. Some of the gentlemen referred to have been connected with Spain. or are acquainted with its language, and we may likewise name Sir Robert Peel, who was attached for some time to the English legation at Madrid. We are convinced that to men such as we have enumerated the bond holders would not appeal in vain, but that one would be found to do his country service by undertaking such a course, and successfully pleading it at Madrid. Martrid, March 17, 1851. James Capel, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders in London. Dear Sir, —Referring to my letter of yesterday, I beg to hand you herewith the translation of the communication I have addressed to his Excellency the Finance Minister on behalf of the overdue coupons, although I am sorry to say that his Excellency has not taken it into considera tion, as in the last sessions of the Commission the minister has not consented to any amelioration, and has rejected the observations made in favour of the coupons by two ment hes of that commission, the Messrs. Vilches and Llorente, who have voted against that part of the project of the law, the remaining five members having voted in favour of the reduction proposed by the government. I have thus ex hausted my continual efforts, and I must leave to your better judgment:lntl to your influence in your own country, to act as you will consider it as most serviceable to the interest of the bondholders. Believe me to remain, my dear sir, your must obedient servant, DANIEL WEISWEILLEiI. (Copy.) Excellent Sir,—The President of the Committee of the Spanish Bondholders in London, in acknowledging the receipt of the letter which your Excellency deigned to write to me on the 21st ult., and which I communicated to him, in compliance with the wishes expressed therein by your Excellency, tells me, as I already have had the honour to manifest verbally to your Excellency, that he regrets most deeply to see that your Excellency insists on the pro ject of reducing to the half the overdue coupons of the Active Debt. lie desires me to represent again respectfully to your Excellency all the injustice and inconvenience of a measure so pernicious to the future credit of an honest , country, which is allied by tics of ancient friendship with England and the other foreign nations, so considerably in terested in the question of a satisfactory settlement of the public debt of Spain ; therefore I can but yet hope that your Excellency and the representatives of the Spanish nation will decide with the equity which is due to the re clamation which I am charged to reproduce to her Majesty's government. God preserve your Excellency.— Madrid, March 16,111.51.—The Delegate of the English Committee of Spanish Bondholders. (Signed) DANIEL WEIEWEILLIE.

FLEETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEAT RIDING JPNC- TlON.—Yesterday, the adjourned half-yearly meeting was held at the Town-hall, Preston. The committee appointed at the last meeting reported the failure of their negotiations with the Longridge Company. The report concludes thus: Although we have not thought it requisite to inquire mi nutely into the affairs of the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Company, owing to the failure of our negotiation with the Longridge Company, yet we have satisfied our selves that the best course now to be adopted is to shut up ! the line at once, to lay out no more money in any shape, to sell the rails, sleepers, forfeited shares, mod everything else available; and with the proceeds to pay off the debts owing by the company that have been legally contracted; and thus to close the concern entirely, until such arrangements can be effected with the Longridge Company or other par ties, as may show a fair prospect of some ultimate advan tage to the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Company, without making any further calls. In conclusion, the committee strongly recommend that a eommittee of share holders be appointed to co-operate with the directors in carrying into effect whatever course the meeting might de cide upon adopting, for the interest of the Fleetwood, Pres ton, and West Riding Company. On the motion of Mr. Greig, seconded by Mr. Newberry, the report was received, and a shareholders' committee was appointed accordingly. CALEIX)NIAN RAILWAY.—The report to be pre sented at the meeting on the 28th inst. :Minds the following particulars:—The increase of gross traffic of 1850 over 1849 is if, per cent. The average cost of working expenses for the whole year 1850 is 53 per cent.; but for the last half year, from June to December, 1840, it is only 48 per cent., including rates and taxes. The diminution is attributed to various causes—to the general economy which has been curried into every department of the company's affairs, and to the fact of ordering stores by tender, and making all payments in cash. In the above computations no charge for parliamentary, law, or other extraordinary expenses, is included. In so far as the works are completed, the line is in an efficient state. The rolling stock is also efficient in condition, but inadequate in extent, in so far as relates to the goods traffic department. The half-yearly accounts, however, show that the directors have expended such sums is improvements on the line and in additions to the rolling stock as their funds admitted—thus Expenditure cashed', buildings, sidings, and other works on the line, and at thu stations, for half-year ending 31st December, 1850, 6,842/. 18s. ad. ; ditto in addition to rolling stock, in engines, waggons, carriages, &e., chargeable to capital account, 5,1901. 4s. 4d. Arrangement& with the Edinburgh and Glasgow and tho Glasgow and South Western Companies, and also with the various lines, southern and eastern, forming the two great I chains of communication with London, have been made, by which competition at unremunerating rates will be avoided. The financial condition of the company is thus stated :—The revenue from traffic, as already stated, amounted fur the whole year 1850 to 150,9601. Is. 2d.; add rents, interest on call arrears and transfer fees, for the same period, 4,9191. 3s. 9d.; total, 155,9091. 4s. 11d. The deben ture and other interest on debts due by the comproany for the same period was 86 , 9921 . 10 a 7d. • feuduties and gund annual, 9,32 a/. ss. 3d. the nett balance was thus 59,0901. As. ld. The annual amount of guaranteed and preferential claims on the company, according to their statutory rights, is 162,3701. • the free revenue from the Greenish line for the year ending 31st January, 1851, was 15,2421. 14s. 7d. ; the free revenue from the Barrhead line is esti mated for the same period at 3,5001. Balance to be provided by tho Caledonian Railway Company, 113,6271. ss. sd. ; but as its nett revenue is only 59,5901. As. ld., there is a deficiency annually, by this show ing, of no less than 84,036/. las. 4d. In the above, although interest is charged ou part of the flouting debt, no provision is made for payment of the 400,0001. of principal, which, however, must be provided fur before any profits can be divided. Such a deficiency (rays the report) affords self evident reasons for pressing for the modification of the guaranteed and preferential claims ; and, however justifiable it may be on the part of the owners of such stock, to main tain and vindicate these claims as legal to the full extent, practically it is maintaining these claims against an impoi,si bility, where such a deficiency of revenue to meet the claims exists. The report thea goes on to detail the legal measures adopted by the guaranteed shareholders against the com pany, and also to describe the negotiations with the gua ranteed and preferential shareholders. EXTENSION OP THE ELECTRIC TELEGIL4PIL—A memorial to the chairman and directors of the London and North Western Railway Company is about to be submitted to the merchants, manufacturers, and the public of Bir mingham for signature, praying that the New British Eke trie Telegraph Company may not bo debarred from carry ing their wires along the lines of the above railway, the ex clusive use of which, it is alleged, is sought to be secured by the existing telegraph company. Memorials in favour of the free use of the London and North Western Company's lines of railway for telegraphic entrooses, as most conducive to the interests of the commonlal community and tho public generally, have been very numerously signed in all the cities and towns in the north and north-west.—hisis's Birmingham (Matte.
