COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. THE "lam: Trim" NSWePAPEIL—In this ease no op iioll WU offered, and the bankrupts, proprietors of the I ron Times, named their last ' • MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATE. On Thursday a meeting of the magistrates of the county of Middlesex was held at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, for the despatch of the county business. H. Pownall, Esq., 11 the chair. Hottest or COIMECTION.—The report of the Visiting ins ticei of the above prison, which was read, stated that there were at present confined within its walls 983 prisoners, vu., 766 males, 728 females, and 7 children. JUVIINILI OFFENDRIIB.—The report of the committee ap pointed by the court on the 9th of April hut to report to the court their suggestions for checking the growth of juvenile offences was then read. The report stated that the committee are persuaded that juvenile crime is far are extensive for private benevolence to prevent, and are convinced that no effectual steps can be adopted by the magistrates without the authority of an act of Parliament. That the great causes of juvenile crime and depravity appear to be ignorance, destitution, and the ab sence of proper parental or friendly care, and that all children between the ages seven and fifteen years suffering from those or similar causes require protection to prevent their getting into bad company., and acquiring wild and dis solute habits —growing up in vtee, and becoming a burden on the county as crtmiaals, and that such protection should be afforded by the county. The report then suggests that an asylum for unprotected and destitute children be founded in and for the county of Middlesex by legislative enactme the nt, and placed under the management justices of er ected to be called the County Juvenile Asylum, and erected under the management of a committee of such jus tices, who shall from time to time report their proceedings to the Home Secretary ; that provision shall be made for the religious and moral education of the children, and their in struction in useful arts, trades, and occupations suitable to their station. That the parties to be admitted to the asylum shall be children between the area of seven and fifteen, who have been driven from their homes b the neglect a nd misconduct of their parents, or who h y da no provide for them, or are otherwise in want of protecThat tion, an the d are consequently in want of food, clothes, &c. expenses shall be defrayed by a county rate to be recover able from their parents in Cases where they have the means of providing for such children, but have neglected to do so, and with a power of attaching their wages to satisfy the amount of such claim. The report concludts with recom mending a variety of rules and regulations for the govern ment of the asylum. After a few observations fro v m Mr. d S erge ant Adams and Mr. Hat ch, the report was receied, an ordered to be printed and taken into conside tion usiness on the the next county day. After disposing of some oth er b court adjourned. ------------= ----. POLICE.—YESTERDAY. MANSION -HOUSE.—Crain OP DUST CONTRACTORS TO THE REFUSE OF METALS.—lVilliont Law, Ulan in the employment of Mrs. Callow, a metal-refiner, was charged before the Lord Mayor with having taken away dust from a house in lioundsditch, in violation of the contract of Mr. Dodd, the dust contractor for the eastern district of the City. —The foreman of Mr. Dodd rated that on the 30th Novem ber he saw the defendant with a horse and cart at the door of No. 144, Houndsditch. The defendant brought out seve ral baskets of dirt and cinders, such as the contractor was entitled to and was in the habit of appropriating, and emptied them into his cart. He said, upon being questioned, that he was taking the rubbish to his employers, who were refiners of brass, and that they were to take the brass out of it. The witness then gave him into the custody of the police. The contract for the dust of the district for the last 12 months amounted to 1,3201.—The solicitor to the defend ant admitted that the rubbish had been taken away by his client, but denied that the contractor had the least claim to it.—Mr. Ellis, brae-founder, who carried on business at the house No. 144, Houndsditeh, stated that the defendant was in the habit of taking away the cinders and dust with which the refuse which fell from his castings into his ash-pit was blended. Witness knew that the refuse gave employment to several persons, and his men received a perquisite from the defendant's employers. Sometimes a pot of metal broke in the furnace, and the metal all blended with the cinders. Witness did not himself extract the metal from the cinders, as he had no mechanism for that purpose. Upm his cross-emmination Pie witness said he would not allow Mr. Dodd, the contractor, to take the refuse away, but he permitted the parties who had taken it away for the last 10 years to continue the work.—The Lord Mayor did not con sider that the contractor had made out a case. In the con tract there was no mention o f the refuse of metals, and the owner certainly had a right either to sell the refuse of his castings or to give it away.—Mr. Vann said the case was one of considerable importance, and calculated, if decided ac cording to his lordship's present impression, to diminish the value of the contract to his client 500/. a year. He hoped, , therefore, his lordship would postpone his decision until he should have looked more closely into the statute.—The Lord Mayor having consulted Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, dis missed the case. GUILDHALL. —Yesterday, William Kin?, a German,' but who speaks English very well, was brought before Mr. Alderman Wilson, charged with shoplifting. A solicitor at- nt tended on behalf of the prisoner.—W. It. Hampson, assista to his father, a silk mercer, stated that on the 27th Novem ber the prisoner came into the shop No. 47, Holborn, and desired that some silk handkerchiefs should be shown to him. Witness opened a parcel of coloured handkerchiefs for the neck, and also took several from the window. He selected one, which he paid for immediately. He then wished to see some black handkerchiefs. Witness opened a parcel, but these did not please him. Leaving them on the counter be f e tched another parcel, from which the prisoner selected four at 14s. Witness was about to put the first parcel away, but the prisoner said, " Don't do that, I have not quite money enough, but I will go and bring it, and I may want some of those when I come back." The prisoner requested him to cut the four handkerchiefs from eachother, and place them aside for him. The prisoner „never returned, and in a quarter of an hour he missed from the first parcel one piece of five handkerchiefs, and one piece of seven ; value toge ther, 31. 3s. The solicitor asked, if he was not standing facing the prisoner all the time, and if he did not leave the handkerchief he had paid for a, an earnest he would return ? The witness said it was so. Mr. Alderman Wilson asked how the prisoner could have secreted the two pieces almost in his presence ?—The witness said the prisoner wore a son of Chesterfield coat, with large pockets in front, i 1 which he might have taken away a dozen pieces. He was sure the prisoner was the came person. —Thomas Kelly, policeman 119 11, stated, that he appre hended the prisoner as answering the description of the person stated to have committed the theft, and knowing the prisoner to have been already convicted of a like offence. He bound him in a public-house in Whitechapel. lie was in the company of several thieves. The prisoner asked what he took him for? and when he told him he said it was all right, but he should like to see if the gentleman could swear he saw him take them. Witness took 4s. 4d. from him. The prisoner said he had no more money, but witness found a sovereign and a lialtsovereign more in his fob. isir. Alderman Wilson asked if the prisoner had any one to show how he obtained his li ving t he solicitor said he had not. —The alderman then inquired if he was known to the police?—The officer said he had been twice convicted.—The prisoner was committed. CLERK.EN W ELL. — William Holding was charged with robbing his sister-in-law, Anna Holding, of half-a-crown, and two duplicates, one being that of her wedding-ring, and with violently assaulting her in the commission of the rob bery. The prosecutrix said she resided in a small cottage in Pocock's-fields, and about one o'clock on Monday the pri soner came in, and, after saying a few words, caught her by the throat, and attempted to put his hand in her pocket. She screamed out loudly, upon which he knocked her down, when he took the money and duplicates from her pocket and I ran away.—Several witnesses were called by the prosecutrix to support her statement, but although all said they heard her scream, none saw either the prisoner or any person else near the spot ; and it was also shown that there existed a very bitter family quarrel, her husband having ran away from her a short time ago.—Mr. Combo said it was a singu lar charge altogether, but with such contradictory evidence he could not do otherwise than order him to be discharged. MARY LEBONE.—ROIII3EItY AT THE CAMDEN-TOWN STATION.—SHMUtt Gee, a carter, was charged with havinli stolen a bale of goods, supposed to consist of West o England cloth.—lt appeared that on the previous evening the prisoner went to the Camden station of the Lon don and North-Western Railway, Camden-town, and in his capacity of carman, delivered there a load of wool , which had been forwarded Messrs. Sutton and Co., carriers. When the goods had been delivered, he was observed to take up a bale, which he carefully put into a sack, and lifting it into his vehicle, he drove off with it. Information of the robbery was communicated to the clerk at the station, and the prisoner was followed and taken into custody. The bale was consigned to Messrs. Hill, of Birmingham, and it was clearly shown that it had been transferred from the stage on the platform to the waggon with a felonious intent. — Remanded till Thursday next. LAMBETH.—A MAdISTRATE IMPOSED UPON BT A BEOOINO-LETTER WRITER. —Emily Julia Williams, aged 16, and Henry Williams, aged 12 years were placed at the felon's bar before Mr. Norton, on a ch arge of stealing two glazier's diamonds, of the value of thirty-five shillings. The prisoners, though so young, have frequently been 'brought to this court on charges of felony, and the girl has been tried and convicted at the Old Bailey. On the first occasion of their being brought to this court, their parents disclaimed all knowledge of or participation in their robberies, and their extreme distress at the time called forth the kind symp i athies of Mr. Norton who relieved them to a consider- Ole extent. The father, t appeared, had been formerly ina tutor, and subsequently belonged to the City Policea which force, from his superior education, he was promed to the situation of acting inspector , and might have reached higher promotion, but for some reason or other he resigned his appointment. Mr. Norton, after relieving him and his family to a very considerable extent, and otherwise interest ing himself in his favour, o b se rved something in his manner which caused him to ake inquiries, and the result was that he found him to be • practised begging-letter writer. He therefore declined having anything further to do with him, upon which Williams, forgetful of the favours he had received, wrote two or three most impertinent letters to the worthy magistrate.—Evidence was given of the pledging of the diamonds by the prisoners, when Redford, the officer, said that he should have taken the father of the prisoners' into custody, as he bad no doubt whatever he encouraged' his children to rob, and participated in the plunder, but he appeared so ill at the time that he feared he would fie.—Mr. Norton directed that he might be at once examined by the parish doctor, and if he pronounced him in a fit state to be removed, he should bring him to 'the court. Williams was subsequently brought up in custody, and with his children remanded for a week. THAMES.—Taa FLOILE'S EXPEDITION..--FOUTtA 4OI men, who had embarked on board the Gleaelg, for the pur- pose of serving under General Flores, applied to the sitting magistrate, Mr. Ballet:dine, through Mr. Pelham, under the following circumstances :—lt will be remembered that, about a fortnight since, the sailing of an armament, ostensibly in tended fur the Beefactor, was suddenly arrested under certain provisions of the Illegal Enlistment Act. The flag ship ere was t h e Glenelg, and the appli cants formed part of her w. The engagements entered into with them was, that they should receive one month's pay in advance, and a second month on their arrival in Corunna. The firs t t h month had b e en paid, and a second being n ow due, e applicants wished to know whether they could not enforce payment from the parties by w hom the y had been engagecl.—Mr. Ballantine replied, that as the whole transaction appeared to have been illegal, the court could not interfere. WANDSWORTH. — CHAROE OP ORTAINIHO GOODS ENDER Faxes& PRETENCES.—Mrs. Frances Margaret Boyle was charged with obtaining, under false pretences, a piece of Mr. John Irish linen and two c otton dresses, the property Tarns, draper, No. 6,oakley-terrace, Old K ent-road.—J oseph Bembkcr, assistant to Mr. Tarne, said, the prisoner was a customer at his master's shop ; she came on Saturday last and gave an order for some goods ; witness went with them to No. 4, Caledonia-row, Coburg-place, where he saw the prisoner ; she said the goods were for an invalid lady who was staying at her house, and that, as she was then in bed, she could not thew them to her until 10 o'clock the next morning. Wit ness left the goods. lie had delivered a bill of upwards of £4 to Mrs. Boyle a few days previously. When he went on Tuesday morning Mrs. Boyle had left ; he tered race h er to Bat eft tersea, and gave her in charge. lie consid w he l the goods he was giving credit to Mrs. Boyle.—Mr. Clive said, that there was no pretence whatever for giving the party into custody, and she must be discharged.—The pri soner's solicitor applied for expenset—Mr. Clive said he could not order him any, but he knew his remedy. GREENWICH.—GREENWICH RAILWAY. --CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED FRAUD .—A fashionably dressed young man, described as John Richard Cornoch, No. 7, Cumberland street, Hackney, commercial traveller, was brought before Mr. Jeremy on the following charge. —Mr. A. Maddock, in spector at the Greenwich terminus, deposed that the prisoner came on the platform about seven o'clock the prev de ious even ing, and jumped int o a first-class carrisge. Witness manded his cheque. The prisoner replied that his name was Dyer, of Blackheath -park, an annual subscriber to the first-class carriages, and that he had left his ticket at home. Witness said that he must produce his ticket or pay the fare. The prisoner insisted on going in the &exclude carnage, but was prevented from so doing ; and on going into the pay office it was ascertained that he had paid 4d., the third-class fare.—Mr. Jeremy : Mr. Dyer of Blackheath-Park is a &sr-- class annual ticket subscriber I—The acr .- ied to pass himself off for that gentleman.—Mr. Jeremy asked for the " Railway Act."—The inspector said that by the bye-laws of the Greenwich Railway Act persons attempting to tadsrie and evade payment of the regulated fares were subject penalty of forty shillings._ Mr. Jeremy asked for the pro duction of the bye-laws. The inspector said they wer J at y the London o ffi ce, and he would proc ure them. — • r. erem said he must discharge the prisoner, but he would grant a summons at the desire of the company for a future hearing, and the " Act " must be produeed.—The inspector said he would do so, and the parties retired. 7:-----t-----qvaabaib,n.a.rr.,.uge,„t.rqen:e:,igsb.:::d..a... „wi g , en rArtern . re... 43o to un a ti p 7 , — bend any opposition from the Midland counties; and in answer to a question by • shareholder, it was replied that if a well-signed requi. salon should be two to the directors by the shareholders, they would make overtures to the Eastern Counties ; but the opinion of the directors. and of sevend gentlemen present, wait decidedly againsofy an t plating the Ambergate tine in the position of first proposer overtures to any company Whatever. SOUTHAMPTON AND DONCIIEATER.This line is rapidly approaching completion. The late storm ha ve to some extent, inter fered with the works, more especially with those which run through the Southaropbm waters. It is expected that the line will be. opened about the e of March, or early in April. SCOTCH RAILWATB.—The following authentic summary of railway movements in Scotland ts from the last monthly circular of the Mews. Allan, of Edinburgh :—."RUM011111 have been rife of amal gamations and leasing'. Many meet t ng,' have been held, and nume rous proposed an noigementa promulgated. lor example, it is cur rently stated that the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow have been o ff ered 9 per cent., or an out and out purchase of the whole stock at the rate of 90f. for every 501. ahem; and that the North British have refused 8 per cent. on their whole outlay, including all their latterly issued stock. Many proprietors doubt the powers of directors to de cline such to but certainy, if either of these lines for the next ten years yield clear profits equal tog or 8 per cent., we shall be very much aurprised. The North British, in particular, is, per haps, the most extraordinary of our Scotch liallways, and certainly, to its first holders at least, it has hitherto been the most lucrative. Its original capital was 800,000!. The stock now created represents 3,200,0001., or quadruple what was at first proposed. Two year., ago the shares were a drug in the mar ket at a disoaunt ; now, the current value of the whole capital exhibits a premium of more than a million sterling. Of course, per cent. be guaronteed, this premium will advance nearly one half more, per. ticularly on the old quarter and the newly created third shares, both of which are comparatively much under their value, the former being registered stock, the latter representing what is sure to become so. The new quarters are contingent on the succem of a doubtful appli cation to parliament for the line between Maria and Carlisle, and consequently do not bear any relative value to the rest of the stock. Scottish Centrals have receded in consequence of one at two heavy holders realising ; Aberdeen. , have been dealt in extensively, and Edin burgh and Not are again in good request. This company is about issuing new stock, both for whole and three-fifth shares, in the pro rerritilreamect To The e rcso very lu f t7o ur n nowtl in eiLate n nc f e o .form'fily%tlitrig are company; but it is expected that a new scheme will ere long be pro posed for this line of country. The Ayrshire and Galloway, to enable them to go to parliament, have called up the 255. they refunde d about two months ago; and an attempt is being made to resuscitate the East Lot Lian Central scheme of last year. The Edinburgh and Leith Atmospheric have not yet made their promised repayment of 195." RAILWAY SIIARR LISTS.—LONDON. DEC. 4.

Tire circumstances attending the obtaining the acts for the Bir mingham and Oxford line, and the Birmingham, Wolverhsrap:on, and Dudley line [men the legislature, were leo recent to require say detail on hispart. It had, however, been thought that an amalgams tam of both those hoes with the Great Waders Company woad, by pacing the establishment under one direction, tend to increase the n~mopqiee, and &drawn the interests of the Great Western Railway bomplll7, by whose aid and assistance the *eta for the construction ol those ailys ceived the etketof Parlament. The terms which r had wa been bad we re ed upon between the three companies he con scientiously believed to be jug and equitable, and when the agree ment was read, he confidently !Mean it would receive the approval of the proprietors now imeembled. He should mentiou that the over tures for an amalgamation of these important lines with the Greet Western Railway Company hadnot emanated from the latter, though the b e had declared that they were quite prepared to eceeive any a procesi d that d ec l ar ation was accompanied with the as that he (the chairman) did not believe say obstacle would be pterented in the way of effecting the amalgamation of the three lines. A negotiation had consequently been opened, which had resulted in the completion of the agreement now about to be submitted for the adoption of the body of proprietors. As to the teems of that agree ment, it lad beers felt that there beenwg for thinking them just, equitable, and liberal. Had they otherwise, the directors of the Great Western Railway Company would not have cemented to be parties to them, und hence they bad no limitation in recommending them for the adoption and confirmation of the body of proprietors whose interests, with their own, were identical (Hear.) To show the value and importance of the agreement which had been conchuled he (the Chairman) need only state to the meeting the results of a com munication which had pawed between himself and the chairman of the London and North-Western Railway Company on this subject, not at toe d eleventh, but W estern twelfth bour. Mr. Glyn, the chairman of the Lonon and North Railway, had directed to him (the Clairman) a note which, though addressed privately, related exclu sively to public matters, and hence he (the Chairman) had no hesita tion in reading the letter to the present meeting. Mr. Glynis letter was the effect aa follows : Eustou-square station. My dear Rum to en We have this day received a memorial from var ious p arties interested in the Birmingbam and Oxford Company, pressing the Leaden and North-Western Company to come forward with some proposition for an union of interests between the two bodies. I enclose a copy of the answer returned to that memorial, from which you will perceive the nature of the queetions raised and the mode in which we propose to deal with them. As your booed meets to morrow, it may be desirable that a conference should take place previous to the meeting of the Birmingham and Oxford Company „ The enclosure was to the effect (addres sed without a name) : "I have to acknowledge the receipt of a memorial, signed by you and othen interested in the Birmingham and Oxford Railway ftimpany, ma have received similar memorials from shareholders resident in Lentashire, expressing dissatisfaction at the terms offered by the Gnat Western Railway Company. We are prepared to unite with the Great Western Company, in a joint lease - with the Birmingham and Oxford Company ; and thus the public would have the advantage of a line of communication fixed by the amalgamation of thltlnZer tive bodies." This letter was dated the Soil December, and by the chairman of the directors of the London and North Western Rail way Company (Mr. G. C. Glyn). When he (the chairman) on a bed of sickness received, only yesterday morning, that letter, be could not for a moment entertain a doubt that its object was In sow dimension, and, at the twelfth hour, to defeat the ar nagileisents which had been made with the Birmingham and Oxford Company. (Ileac, hear.) At once he had written a reply to that affect, and adding that the proposition as to a joint lease of the line must be rejected, inasmuch as the bill having been adopted by parlia ment for the formation of an independent line from the London and North Western ; the latter could not oak the legislature so f. ir to stultify itself as to conced e to their views. (Ilea, hear.) That letter he (the chairman) was happy to say had met with the approbation of his colleagues in the Board of Direction. The intervention, however, of the London and North Western Rail way Company showed that they were ready to propose better terms for the amalgurnatioa than them wkic h had been effected by the board over which he . (the chairman) had the honour to preside. (Ap plause.) After detailing with great exactness the objects for which the special meeting ha d been assembled, the Chairman milled upon Mr. Ward, the representative of the secretary (Mr. Saunders), to read the agree= nt in question. For the information of the nume theform rous shareholders interested, we incorporate it in our report, in it was communicated to the meeting " General terms of an agree waytered ,andtwen the Directors of the Great Western Rail wa Comminy the leirectore a the Birmingham and Oxford Railway, and of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley ailway Companies, for the purchase of the said two lines by the Great Western Railway Company. The capital of the Birming ham. and Oxford, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Dudley es, to be considered C o amalgamated and taken at 1,700,000/. =gt Western Railway Company agree to purchase the laid two undertakings, by tbe payment of Ha. se. premium on each share of ;the the atime premium to become payable within six months a ft er the ensletion and opening of the lines. The Great Western Railway Coma psoyare to be subject to any liabilities necemary for the compkuon of the said lines, and for the purchase of the Stradord-upon-Avon Crinal, over and above the said capital. That, if the railways shall not Mee been completed by the Ist January, 1050, the premium of 10/. sa. per share shall be considered due co the let of July, 1850, to those proprietors who have duly paid up the amount of their calls, and who have not been in urea, at any time, for thice months—interest being paid half-yearly, at the rate of five per cent. per annum, on the said premium of 101. 55., ftom the said let July, 18 M , until the said premium shallbec ome payable, as hereinbeture pro vided. The Great Weetern Railway Company may require the open ing of any portion of the line, previous to the completion of um the whole of the works being executed, in which case the premi of 101.5 e. shall become due an d payable within six months after such partial opening, in the same wanner as if the whole line had been completed. Interest at the rate of five, instead of four percent. per annum, to be allowed to the proprietors of the said company, upon all calls duly paid during the construction of the lines, and, in respect of any sums paid in anticipation of calla, interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum shall be allowed eat so much as is advanced, until shall have been called up, when live per cenL per annum will become payable. Coupons to be given by th e Great Western Railway Company, when the 20/. per share shall have been paid up or advanced, entitling the holder to the premium of 101. sa, and in terest upon the terms hereinbefore provided. That any further ca pital required for the purposes of the said companies, shall be pro- Tided by the Great Waste Railway Company, either by creation of shares, or othervise, as may be sanctioned by parliament. The Birmingham and Oxford, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Companies, are to be amalgamated, and powers taken for laying the brood s well as the narrow g auge thereon, and an ar rangement is to made for blending the Great Western board with the directors of the amalgamated company, in such manner an to give the Great Western Railway Company an effectual control over the expenditure of the said undertakings." The Chairman then proposed a resolution, which had for its object the adoption and confirmation of the agreement.—Mr. E. Donn seconded the motion.—Mr. Withers, after an elaborate detail of calculations, by which he sought to show that the arrangement would be thjurions to the proprietors of the Great Western Railway Company, moved as au amendment " that the meeting be adjourned for a moth from this day, in order to enable di stant proprietors, by their proxica, or in per son, to express an opinion upon the proposition."—Mr. Sandford H. the amendment, which wee supported by Mr. W. Williams, M.P., who expressed his regret that lime pacificatory arrange ment had not been effected between thie company and its two great rivalry the London and North-Western and the South-Western Company. After a few words from Mr. Castles, the Chairman entered into a lung and spirited defence of the agree ment; and said he believed the line would be remunerative at the price paid for it, especially as an avenue of traffic to their main which had been opened with the London and North Western Company, for the purpose of coming to some amicable arrangement for the mutual benefit of the two companies. The parties employed to negotiate were Mr. Sounders , secretary to the Great Western Company, on the one side, and Mr. Swift, one of the officers of the London and No tion rth W e stern Company, on the other. The chief object of the negotia was a district arrangement . When every other point had been agreed upon, a dispute arose as to the gauge between Fenny-Compton and Wolverhampton; the Great Western Company requiring that the lines Mould be laid down with both the broad and the narrow gauge, and the Londe and North Western insisting upon haring the narrow only; and upon this point the negotiation broke off. They could never consent to an arra ngement by which both private and public I good faith would he vio lated.—Mr. Maley supported the original motion.—On the amendment being put, 17 or le bands were held up in favour of it; the motion confirming the agreement was carried by a large majority.—}D. Withers wished to know if he could enter a mama the agreement with a view to f ur ther proceedings I C a chairman said he had no power of receiving a protest.—A resolu tion was then proposed and carried, "To ratify an agreement entered into between the directors of the Great Western Railway Company and the directors of the Wycombe Railway, and the Great Western and Uxbridge Railway companies, for the purchase of the said two last-mentioned undertakings; and to authorise the execution of all proper deeds and the doing of all acts requiaite for com pleting such purchme, and for making application to Par t for powers to carry the same into effect."—A re solution was paved authorising the directors "to apply to Par liament, in the ensuing session, either separately or conjointly with other companies or person% for powers to construct, or to lease, work, or subscribe to the following railways :—I. A branch railway from the Great Western Railway, at Acton, to the West London Railway, with branches from the hat-mentioned railway to the South Western Railway, near Lambeth, arid to Hammersmith. 2.

PROVlNCES.—BlitdiNodele AND OXFORD JUNCTION. —An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the Royal liotel at Birminghsm yesterday, for the purpose of considering the propriety of ratifying an agreement entered into by the directors for the sale of the line to the Great Western Company. The chair was taken by P. H. Munk., Eaq. The attendance Was very large. Among them present we observed Lord Ilatherton, Mr. soun ders, secretary to the Great Western Company, Laurence Heyworth, ' Esq., of Liverpool, and nearly the whole of the directors of the com ony. Tbe chairman, having stated the object of the meeting, called p on the secretary to read the terms of the agreement, which the direc- tors had entered into for the sale of the has to the Great Western. The terms of the agreement were simply these I. Th e capital of the company, when united to the Birmingham, Wolvermpton, and Dudley Company, to be L 700,0001. 2. he Great Western to pay 101.

EDO held MONEY MARKET.. .[ EVENING, The funds were flat du rin g the early part of the morning, but without any alteration from the prices of yes terday. A short time before the hour of closing arrived there came, however, a little stir in the market, upon which Consols improved a shade, and left o ff 951 for money, and 9,51 buyers for account. Reduced Threes, 94 to 1. Three-and a-Quarter per Cents , 96 to 1. The government broker took 15,0001.

India Bonds, 17s. to 20s. premium. Bank Stock, 206/ to 71. India Stock, 258 to 60. Long Annuities, 91 to 15-16. Foreign stocks attracted some attention is-day. The ac counts from Amsterdam and Brussels for the last two or three days of the animated transactions in S n pa thi nish art m s Fives was bonds on them exchanges, made no impression upoke u ntil to-day, when a disposit ion to speculate in the manifested in same quarters, upon which a slight movement upwards in that class of stoc k took p lace. The prices became 261 to i t and so left off; the Threes, remained 371 to 1. Portuguese were quoted rather higher also, at 39 to 40. New Grenada, 181 to 191 ; the Deferred, 31 to 1. Mexican, 221 to 1. Dutch Two,and-a-Half per Cents., 591 to 601 ; the Fours, 911 to 21. Foreign exche was again lower to-day on the chief continental place ang s. On Amsterdam the rates negotiated were 12.3 to 1 ; on Rotterdam, 12.31 to 3 ; on Antwerp, 25.821 to 871; on Hamburg, 13.11 to 101 ; on Frankfort, 1201 to 1 ; on Paris, 25.771 to 821; on Vienna, 10.3 to 4 Madrid, ; on Leghorn, 30 45 to 50 ; on Na p les, 401 to 1; on 351 to 36 ; all at three months. On Lisbon, at sixty days, 53 to 1. On reference to the quotations of Dutth Bonds for some weeks past, it will be observed that they have been on the advance, whilst contemporaneously, though not pro rata, exchange on Holland has been de clining. But for the sort of currency of o f Dutch bonise ds w hich combine in fact the reques both merchand and currency of exchange, the rates of bill exchange would certainly have fallen much more. The bonds constitute an article of every-day traffic and transfer between Amsterdam and London, as the rates of exchange vary, or the prices of bonds rise and fall. Thus, since exchange has been on the decline, Dutch bonds have c ome more into request as values for remittance. The merchant who has to remit will prefer to do it in bonds which shall realise a fraction of a gilder more in Amsterdam, than wha out ill on that city purchased at theruling quotations here w yield. If trade balances and exchange operations could be liqui dated or checked with other or betwat all countries by tho intromission of similar instruments of paper values representing national debt, and, according to intrinsic worth or public opinion, national credit also, the fluctuations of exchange might come to be of little consequence to would the i n ternal paper circulation of any country. There be so much the less necessity for t he passage of gold or silver from one country to another at any time ; in ordinary times scarcely any at all. In the family of nations, and intercom munity of confidence suppoeed, as in the cue between Hol land and this country, remittances might be as readily . made to, or received from, France, Spain, Germany, Russia, the United States, &c., in the bonds or securities of the respec tive countries, or of the bonds, when preferable from price, of one country held in another embraced in the credit circle, as in bills of exchange, or in metallic money, and generally with advantage. It would be the same sort of operation after ell as is performed in commerce daily with respect to merchandise. The merchant of the 'United States, for example, having to face payments, lor make provision for purchases, in Europe, consults his ad vices and prices current for the purpom of calculating whe ther cotton, tobacco, bread stuffs, &c., would be the most sure and profitable medium of realising values in the place required, or elsewere to be drawn against. Assuming that he was possessed of Consols, Frenchßentm, Dutch Bonds, &c., his facilities of remittance would be enlarged, and therefore the economy of his operations simplified. Such a system of general mutual confidence could only be possible with a peace of long endurance, which, on thebe first breath en to of war, or distant prospect of it, must at once shak its foundations. But it is curious to reflect with how little care about gold or silver , or the absolute necessity of em ploying them in the great bulk of internationacarriedl transactMns, the commerce of the c ivilised world might be on.

East Lincolns, Shrewsbury and Bir mingbams, and Shropshire Unions were in favour. But Indians were a shade better ; but on the whole the transac dont were not of importance, and there was an indisposition in dealers to adventure. The business at Birmingham was steady, and prices on the whole were firm. At Leeds, yesterday, the share-market appeared a little brisker ; more business was transacted, prices holding firm, but having no tendency to advance. The Bristol market has been buoyant, and good securities in demand, particularly Midlands. The dosing prices are : Bristol and Exeter (old),791; ditto (thirds), 81 ; Great West ern (1), 191 ; ditto (new), 71 and 1; Midlands, 131 ; ditto (401. shares), 331 ; North Staffords, 81. 18s. 9d.; Shrewsbury and Birmingham, 51 ; York and North Midland, Selby, 771 ; Bristol Water-works, 41. Of the Edinburgh market the monthly circular of the Messrs. Allan gives a favourable report. There was a large and steady business in all November. A great deal of Scotch railway stock has been taken for investment: the eagerness of the two great English railway companies to obtain a sway in the direction of the principal Scotch lines has led to an advance in nearly all .notations. This rise in prices the Messrs. Allan, whose Judgment is deservedly rated high, believe to be " legitimately accounted for." The following intimation is appended by Messrs. Allan to their circular :—" Our Edinburgh Stock Exchange has now adopted the system of settlements twice a month, on the same plan, and on the same days as in London. Parties, therefore, dealing with Edin burgh, must in future keep this in view ; for when the set tlement day comes, if the purchaser has not previously pro vided his broker with the funds, or the seller is not prepared to deliver his stock, an immediate selling out or buying in is the consequence, and the result almost invariably a serious Foes .'; - LONDON.—BaisSOL AND POOLE HAEBOUR.— 4th ThDecem e fol lowing letter, dated at this Company's offices, in the city, ber, has been forwar ded to us for publication t It haring been publicly reported that it was not the intention of this company to go to parliament this year, I beg, through the medium of your Journal, to deny meet distinctly the correctness of such report, and enure those prunes who ole interested in the undertaking that nothing will be wanting on the pint of this company to obtain their bill in the next msks. a re Thho of the plans have been regularly deposited, and the notices a now being am, sir, your very obedient servant, 11.2rasmoic, GREAT WISTEIN RAILWAY.— Yesterday, a special general meeting of proprietors was held at the Paddington station to transact business, and obtain a deciaion of the pro rietors as to oer , tain schemes to be submitted by the directors to mit in the course of the ensuing session. C. Ilium% Esq., M.P„ (the chairman,) opened the proceedings oldie day in a speech of cdmatile length, which conveyed to the proprietors the fullest hiformatim as to the I whole proceedings which had been taken by the directors with re krame to the why otdecta Ice 'which the meeting bad been called. ------- in his hand a letter i'mai Mr. George Carr Glyn, in answer to In ! application from himself (Mr. IL), to know what the London and North Western were prepared to give for the line. The terms of 1 that letter be would state to the meetiog. The question having been pl eas re the London and North-Westeni would give . he bad the pleasure of saying ',reading the letter) that they would give 121. premium for every 201. share, 31. payable on the pawing of the act, hi. three months after, and the balatiocsix months after the opening of the line.—A very desultory disci/talon ensued on these motions; the one , mxty contending that the proceedings of the directors of the company bad been s traightforward and open—the registration having been open up to wh et an hour of the present meeting. The other, that the delay of the certificate. wee quite a dodge, to prevent shareholders who bad recently purelissed from taking their stnod as certified and registered proprietors modified to vote at the meeting. In the course of thiS di and oontroventy, Mr. Moreley and others argued that the majority of the shareholders were oppoeed to the sale, and held shares but had not got certificates, and, therefore, could not vote, while Lord ffatherton hudnted that as there had been 20,000 proxies lodged in favour of the sale, and not one bad been lodged against it, the conclusion clearly was that the majority of shareholders were in favour of the agreement. The vote was then taken, and the motion sanctioning the agreement was carried by 21 to 12. linlority 9. An amendment that IV. premium per rhare should be asked from the Great Western sus not put to the meeting, being informal. There were several protests on legal grounds entered against these votes, , but the feeling of the meeting was strongly in favour of the sale.

Percy, solicitor to the Canal Company, that there was, and it was 3 =Mlle alter the opening of the line from Ambergate to Grantham. -In reply to a question, the chairman said the profits of the canal would go to its present proprieties until the purchase was completed. The motion having been put and carried, an explanation was then given, at the request of Mt. Ironside, of the circumstances attending a false announcement of an arrangement with the Lantern Counties Company, which had been published by some parties undiscovered. After that, in reply to another question, Mr. Hannay said he had not the slightest hesitation in stating that this company was applied to by the Eaetern Counties company, to enter into a negotiation with a view to an arrangement. In the course of an interview, matters took this turn : They (the deputation) wished to know, in the first place, what the Eastern Counties Company wanted. The reply was, that they would treat with them in the way of sale. They then requested Mr. Hudson to sae what he thought the line was worth. He said he thought 20/. a share, giving them 3/. 12s. 6d. for that which bad coot the Ambergate sharebolders 2/. 12e. 6d. The deputa tion retired and considered this proposition, and ultimately informer] the Eastern Counties Company that they would lay it before their board in Nottingham. It was, however, rejected. They then pin to the Eastern Counties that they Mould have their (the Am bergate) line at live per cent. in perpetuity, showing the shareholders Ulf the profits in addition; ante another proposition was that both should throw their lines into the Great Northern Extension scheme. The Eastern Counties, Company objected to these proposal', but ex pressed themselves willing to lease the Ambergate line at 4 or 44 per cent., but the per centage was only named, not offered. They (the deputation) said they had a decided objection to sell their line, and would not take 20s. per chore premium; they were not so base, they were not so far willing to betray the undertaking, as to sell it for such a sum.-Mr Donside eaid, baring got that question so far answered satisfactorily. he would now put another. ne should like to know the nature of the arrangement with the Great Northern Company.-Mr. Hannay replied that he was one of the deputation also that waited upon the Great Northern Company, in obedience to their request. Mr. Wyles and Mr. Blithe') were emaciated with him. I hat company proposed to ere them eve per tent it upon the capital invested in their scheme, providing they (the Arnerpte Company) would give them the option of deviating the line in certain place*, and of diverting their own so as to circum scribe their capital. Incase they would consent to this, the Eastern CountlesCompany would give them five per cent until two years after the opening of their own line, and then let them go In at par, even if the Eastern Countless' shares were welling at twenty shillings pre mium. The deputation came back to consult the board, and then returned, saying that the Ambergate directors were not unanimous re„peeting the acceptance of live per cent., consequently they thought they ought to have five and a half until two year% after the opening of the line, and thentterser cent. in perpetuity.pu He closed on thoee terms, and in the of a week er interview to decide upon the deviatinna They (the deputation) managed very well untilthey got to Grantham from Ambergatc, but they, to their surprise, found that the Great Northern directors had annihilated the We from Grantham to Holston. Here they broke off at owe, an they could not, untie:. such circumstance., redeem their promises made to parties residing in districts through which their line was intended to pars: Mr. lronside expressed highly eatisfied with these explanations, and advised the directors to improve their under taking, if practicable, by allying. themselves to some cam. pony that watt paying a good interest to its shareholders ham what be knew of Sir.

PRODUCE.—MINCINO-LANE, Ds.e. 4.—Sugar The market has been extremely dull and depressed today, and although importers were willing to submit to a reduction of 1,., buyer , were not found for scarcely half the quantity offered in the pubhc sales, which con sisted of 3,000 bags Mauritius, 4,300 bags Bengal, and 100 Wads. Harbadoes ; the latter, however, being of a quality peculiarly suited to the grocers, sold steady, 41s. to 51s. Refined boa also been dull and inactive, brown lumps 625., standard quality 69a. The operations of the weekhate been under the general average, and a decline of Is. on West India, and Is. 6d. upon other descriptions, has been estab lished upon the extreme rates of last week.—Coffee: The public sales of plantation Ceylon, 2,300 bags, went off irregularly, and nearly halt the quantity bought in to sustain prices. Saltpetre : Madras, of good quality, sold in public sale at full pricen, refraction 74 to 91, 255. Cal. to 265. 6d.—Cotton continues in good demand at yesterday's priers ; 1,500 tales sold.—Rice dull.—The public sale of 90 bags Cochineal went off heavily, and pert only sold. a shade under previous rates-- Honduras Silver 4s. 10d. to ss. sd.—Tallow dull, 475. 9.l.—Logwood 2.5 tows tit.

Tea: The market remains dull. BLANKETS.-11 , csamenwlear, Drc. 3.—The attendance of mer chants here to-day was not so large as on Monday last, and the amount of business done was not so extensive, notwithstanding the continuance of cold weather, but the prices which have lately been obtained were generally realised. WOItSTED STUFF'S, &c.—Bamarmito, Dec. 3.—There was a full average attendance of merchants at our market this morning, who bought rather freely of momenta and other heavy goods adapted to the winter season, and for which the demand was almost fully equal to the supply. There was only a moderate business done in dresa goods, but fabrics of a new style, or new patterns in old goods, were readily purchased. Some specimens were exhibited manufactured of a com bination of silk and Alpaca wool, which make an elegant article, that was much approved. The demand for yarn* was not very active, being chiefly confined to the home manufacturers, and the prices robing firm, the wool sales now going on in Londonexhibiting no ten dency towards a decline in prices. In the wool market here prices were fully sustained, the staplers alleging that they would be unable to replace their stocks at present rates, and the demand during the past week having been rather more attire. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE9.—/COTTINGII/01, Dec. 4.—The cot ton hosiery manufactures, as might be expected from the seaso of the year, have not amended, and distress prevails in the eastern n and southern parts of the county. However, there is a shade of improve ment in the cotton glove branch, which employs about 1,200 frames. 'The drawer and pantaloon branch is in much the same state as for some months past ; that is, a few of the hosiers keep their frames pretty well employed, while others have been for some time in a state of stagnation. The silk-stocking trade Is in a lamentable state, and is falling away. It was hoped, on opening the trade to China, that a demand would have taken VAC(' for knotted hose, but the arti clesnow made are unlit for the people, who wear silk articles of such a weight that they are heavier and stouter than European woollen cloth. The fancy bobbin net trade is rather upon the stir. The warp lace Is in much the same state as the bobbin net trade, the silk branch being in the best demand. The traverse branch warp in this district is depressed. A machines are kept going.
