The railway market to-day experienced a further considerable improvement, the " bean" buying back, and good purchases also offering. The rise amounted to 2L in Caledonian and York and North Midland ; 11. in Great Northern, Leeds, South Eastern, and Berwick ; 12s. 6d. in Eastern Counties, Bn. The advances in Caledonian and York and North Midland was on some extensive buying, be lieved to be based on a knowledge of the forthcoming dividends of these companies. Great Western ral lied to 88, but closed rather lower.

DUBLIN, 'rho Dablips Express, an organ of the late govern ment, announces that early in the coming session, Lord Clancarty in the House of Lords, and Mr. Mr. G. A. Hamilton in the Commons, will move for a committee of inquiry on the whole working of the national education system in Ireland. Mr. Hamilton held office under Lord Derby, and the movement is admittedly a purely factious one. The Irish attorneys and solicitors are protesting loudly against one of the appointments made by the late government on the eve of leaving office, namely, that of Mr. Kemmis, junior, who is a barrister, to the office of crown solicitor for the Leinster circuit. The appointment is considered to be a serious its fringement of the rights of the profession ; no OW but an attorney having hitherto undertaken the duties of an office which strictly belong to the attor ney's and solicitor's profession. A meeting of the incorporated society of that profession was held on Saturday to consider the question, when an opinion of counsel favourable to their views was read, and strong resolutions condemning the appointment, and calling on the present Lord Lieutenant tocancel it, were adopted. The question of the enormous fees of the Court of Chancery was also discussed at the meeting, and extracts from a letter of the late Lord Chancellor condemning thaw heavy fees on stamp duties were read by the secretary. It would appear that in practice the working of the excise duties is not always so harsh and unjust u the advocates of the Irish spirit dealers, in dis cussing the subject in the House of Commons, allege it to be. The following letter, received in reply to slilicatios made by a very respectable spirit merchant of this city, is, I am assured, only an ex ample of the general course of practice: Inland Revenue Office, Somerset-home, Loadou, Feb. 1, 1853. ifir,—ln reply to your application, dated the Bth ultimo, I sin directed to acquaint you that the commissioners have issued orders for remitting the duty on the quantity of spirits leaked out, as stated—the deficiency to be oomputad at the strength of the residue, u recently aseertsieed, viz.:-21.1 0.P.-1 us, sir, Taus, dm, (Signed) °Ronan BALLLSD, Under Ike. Patrick Egan, Esq. The contract for the laying down of the electric wires between Dublin and Cork having been com pleted last week between the Great Southern and Western Railway Company_ and Sir Charles Pox. Henderson, and Company, Mr. Elworthy, C.E., pro ceeded immediately to carry out the work. On Wednesday he employed a number of men fixing the poles along the line from the Cork terminus, and on Friday the contractors commenced erecting poles at the King's Bridge terminus, Dublin. The contrast tors are bound to have the electric communication Fan. 7 between these termini complete on the Ist June next. The telegraph works on the line between Dublin and Belfast, which is to connect it with the subma rine telegraph, have been for the present suspended. The line of communication has been completed be tween Belfast and Armagh, and it is expected the works between that and Drogheda will be resumed within a few days. Elihu Burritt pays a visit to Cork in a few days to agitate in favour of an ocean peony postage. Mr. Whiteside, M.P., the late Solicitor-General, is to defend the soldiers of the 31st Regiment at the approaching trial in Ennis. An action for libel has been brought by the pro prietor of the Freeman', Journal against Mr. 1. Birch, late of the World newspaper. The following appears in the weekly commercial article of the Freeman : A small failure of no gnat moment in Belfast has been reported, and some unpleasant rumours have been in circu lation rupecling the alleged eight of a gentleman holding a Vey respectable position in this city for a long time, and in soaneaion with which it is &Med that forgeries to some eldest have warred. The same of another party of lege standing his been mentioned aa a defaulter, but gluon seeded with the serious charge, although the two cases have, as we believe wholly erronesonaly, been mentioned to gether. We understand that an active pursuit has been instituted in one of the easel. The consumption of pro duet goes on ..ry satisfactorily, the customs' duties this week being no leas than 5,00 W. in advance of last year, end the deliveries of suggar during the last month, as appears from Mesas.

The shares of save al new Irish Mining Com panies have been in request, and capital wens to be •eeed towards this new sad legitimate channel, the an earpenene and stimulus being given by the high prices which metals have obtained (copper and lead espechlly)• h the former of these articles a rise of 181. 111. per ton, or 2d. _per lb., has occurred.

POLICE DCTT llt Etnin.—Thu number of qua trains and other small pieces of verse in circulation is Paris, on the Emperor's marriage, is so great that the police are beginning to be uneasy at the effect which these pasqui nodes may produce on the public mind. In general these pieces of Irene are not remarkable for merit ; still, as many of them are scurrilous, and as all contain some point, they prods** a laugh, and tend to lemon the respect which the Wiee think ought to be shown to the Emperor and Empress. Not only are these productions passed from one person to soother, but they ere occasionally printed and posted up ; and, being so made public, are neither the most delicate nor the most edifying. A de scent of the police was made one day this week on the printing-office of the &sole, where it was thought they might have been printed ; but after a very minute search, nothing whatever was discovered to impli cate that journal. In the theatres, also, the police are ready to pounce on any one who may chance to speak too freely of the marriage. This actually occurred on Wednes day evening at the Udion, with respect to two persona who were conversing on passing events. A few days back, a workman, who was looking into a print-shop in the Rue da Coq St. Honore, happening to exclaim, after examining a portrait of the Emperor, "II est biers laid r. was imme diately seised by two polies agents, and carried off, the spectators taking part with the workman, and crying out after the police, " OM, it est laid, bias trod I" This affair bemuse in the loud so ridiculous, that the man was set at liberty. SHOCRING ACCIDENT.—On Monday week, as Iwo of the gamekeeper assistants of R. B. Hale, Esq., of Alder ley, were about to unload their guns after a day's shooting, by some means one of them exploded, and the contents entered the kg of one of the men, named William Carter. Major Hale, who had just left them, hearing the report of the gun and the man's groans, returned, and immediately applied a tight ligament above the wound to stop the effssion of blood until surgical assistance could be procured. The leg was subsequently amputated above the knee—two surgeons being present—and the man is doing as well as as be expected. Had not Major Hale acted with such promptness, the man's lite might have been lost.—Glowoester eltromiek. SHEEP SLAUOIITEE ON THE SOUTH WALES RAIL WAY.— The 7 o'clock up-train on Monday morning last ran over nine sheep belonging to the Rev. Ralph Fisher, Bank Cottage, Pembny, near the Earl of Ashburnbasn's embankment. The sheep were depasturiug on the marsh adjoining, and how they became on the railway is not known. Some of the sheep had their heads severed, whilst others were not much mutilated.— Welshman:. It. 141 ao RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EDINBUROH AND Duicriuns.—The Dumfries Courier says diet it is proposed to construct a line of railway, which will start from the Caledonian Railway, about four milts to the north of Lockerby, and coming uown by the head of the Tinwald.hills, enter Dumfries near St. Mary's-church. This line would be httle more than 14 miles in length, and would bring Dumfries by direct railway communication within 84 miles of Edinburgh. TIIE LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL AND THE DOCK Comuirran.—An adjourned meeting of the Town Council of Liverpool was bel l yesterday for the purpose of discus sing the difference between the Dock Committee and the Messrs.

The gold mining shares were sensibly better to day, more disposition to purchase being shown. Great Nugget Hein shares especially were in de mand. Favourable advises are looked for shortly from Australia and California, affecting several of these adventures. Liberty shares were flatter, at par to 4 prem. Imperial Brazilian and United Mexican shares were rather better, but Santiago are still heavy.

There have been inquiries, however, for Port Philip shares, which have improved to 1# premium.

MONDAY EVINING. The rally in the English funds noticed at the close of the past week, was well supported to-day, and generally en improved feeling prevailed in the several departments of the Stock Exchange, a general im pression appearing to exist that in the week now closed prices have seen their lowest, unless some new adverse circumstance should arise. There were some influential purchases of Consols to-day, in continuation of previous operations. More confidence has pre vailed since the news of the fall in the Russian ex changes, and we think we shall be correct in saying that no more gold, at least no sums of any import ance, will be dispatched to that quarter ; whilst, on the other hand, it is far from improbable that we may receive back a considerable portion of the amounts already shipped, on the open ing of the navigation. In the railway market con siderable buoyancy prevailed, some good purchases being made both for this and next account, and the " bears" continuing to evince eagerness to buy back. In addition to this, stock hu been in demand for Consols ruled firm to-day at 99: to. there being scarcely a fractional variation throughout the day. The coating° on Consols for March ranged at 1.16 to 4. The official business report is as follows: Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 991 1, ; Ditto, for account, 991 - 1 ; Three per Cei;ta.ltdueed, 1001, 1; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1031, # ; Long Annuities, 1860, 6 7-16; India Stock, 269; South Sea Stock, 11l • Bank Stock, 2281. Exchequer Bills remain at the depressed rates of Saturday. The ruling quotation to-day was 60s. to 645. premium, with a preponderance of sellers. Foreign stocks were generally better, especially Spanish. Turkish scrip rallied to a dis. to par. Mexican Bonds also closed better. Granada Defer red Bonds ascended to 124, upon the announcement of the Darien Ship Canal project (noticed below.) Business in this department was to a moderate extent only: Austrian Old Five per Cent.

It was currently reported to-day that the directors and auditors of the Great Western Railway Com pany are at Luse as to the dividend to be declared, the latter recommending 3$ per cent., and the former being averse to the reduction ; and it is stated that the delay in the announcement of the half-yearly meeting of the company is attributable to this cir lcomstance. Should it be true, as common report states, that the directors cannot declare a 4 per cent. dividend, without drawing upon the reserve, it is difficult to see how any difference of opinion could arise. The dividend now about to be declared is for the best half of the year, and the reserve ought cer tainly to be kept intact, with a view to making up an 7 future deficiency in the worst, or first half. l'he amount of bills drawn by the East India Company on their respective presidencies from the 24th ult. to the 7th inst., is as follows : Rate of Exchange. Bengal £24,240 4 8 2.. ld..per Company's Madras 2,019 9 4 J Rupee. Bombay Total ..... .. £26,450 14 0 The project for the formation of a ship canal ' across the Isthmus of Darien, to which attention was 1 drawn in the Express of the 10t1 , ult., was to day finally introduced into the market, under the title of the Atlantic and Pacific Junction Company, with a capital of fifteen millions sterling. Some surprise has been expressed at the magnitude of the capital, but this is more nominal than real. We un derstand that the question as to how the project could be best brought forward in its preli minary shape has occupied the anxious attention of the promoters, but after seeking a variety of counsels on the subject they have come to the conclusion that, owing to the impediments thrown in their way by our onerous yet inefficient partnership laws, their best plan was to bring it out under the Joint Stock 'ompanies Act, with a much larger nominal capital than there is any probability will be required. In accordance with the act, the deposit is limited to 10s. per cent., so that the amount to be raised now is only 75,001., and even of this limited sum it is stated that subscriptions have already been received for a considerable proportion. This 75,0001, is to be devoted to the accomplishment of a more detailed survey of the site of the proposed canal; to the conclusion of negotiations with the Indians, parties of whom are at present roaming over the district; to the attainment of a further concession from the government of New Granada, guaranteeing the canal to the company in perpetuity, instead of for 99 years, as it at present stands; and to other purposes, including the enlist. meat of powerful domestic and foreign support. The main object of the new surveys is to show that the canal can be made for a sum far below the 12,000,0001. fixed in the engineers' estimate; as these gentlemen state that in the imperfect surveys as yet made they have in all cases adopted a maxi mum estimate for the works of every description, and they . are strongly of opinion that on a closer examination of the tract in question it will be found such advantage can be taken of the formation of the land that a very considerable reduction can be made from the estimates hitherto put forth. It would, of course, have been an easy matter for the promoters of the project to have raised the 75,0001., or such sum as might at first have been required, privately amongst them selves, but this course would not have answered their purpose, it being an object of great importance ' to identify publicly with the undertaking many of our leading financial and commercial names, as the preliminary operations of the company would thus be invested with a degree of prestige otherwise un- , attainable. The promoters again, might have adopted the course pursued by many other compa nies of late, and brought out the association, in its preliminary shape, in a French dress, under the law, en commandite, without the slightest further liability, but it was felt to be essential that this gigantic undertaking, projected as it is in the greatest commercial community of the world, should not forfeit the advantages derivable from British protection, but should be strictly in accordance with English acts of parliament, even if such a course involved the necessity of nominally fixing the capital at a high figure, subject to subsequent reduction. It is expressly understood, however, that the liability of the aUottees is limited to the deposit of 10s. per 1001. share, and that until their consent shall have been obtained in full, no actual commencement of ... the works will be made, however favourable may be the new and more extensive surveys about to be in stituted. In order still further to enlist the support of influential parties who, in the present embryo state of the undertaking, might feel uneasy at the heavy amount of liability involved in the nominal capital of the company, it is further provided that all such shareholders as may be de sirous of withdrawing at any time will be permitted to do so on sending in their scrip for cancellation and forfeiting the de posit paid on the shares. In the event of its being shown to the satisfaction of all the parties interested, after the conclusion of the surveys, that the work can be executed at a moderate expense, and that no obstacle exists, we understand it enters into the policy of the company to take measures calculated to mecum cosmopolitan support. Direct representations are to be made to the English government, and to all the great commercial nations of the world, in cluding more especially the United States, France, and Russia, with a view to securing not only protec tion to the canal, constructed as it will be for the ac commodation of the traffic of the whole globe, but also to obtain a joint or partial guarantee of a mode rate fixed rate of interest upon the capital of the canal whilst the work is in course of execution. Upon this part of the project it is unnecessary at present to enlarge, but it may be observed that iu view of the Freat facts that our trade with Australia is increas ing in a ratio unparalleled in the annals of commerce ; that the influx of population into those vast colonies from all parts of the world is equally calculated to excite astonishment; and that most of the new colo nists are not only connected with Great Britain by language, by religion, and by the most intimate re lations of commerce, but are invested with additional interest, owing to so many of them having in this country a family and friendly circle, with whom con atant correspondence will be kept up, it ri clear that the relations between Great Britain nr.d this mo-t important of her colonies will in future inere.ee so rapidly in magnitude and interest that the means of ensuring rapid and efficient comntun lea t ion between them will excite the greatest attenti at, and conse quently the promotion of the best route to the colo nies eta the Isthmus may become a point of even na tional importance. Letters from Australia, since the experience of the inefficiency of !he strum navigation hitherto attempted, speak in the most hopeful terms of the proposed steam lines, via Panama, as calcu lated to effect a most important übbreviatiou of the passage, even with the delays attendant upon tran shipment; and looking at the progress which steam science is now making, there is every reason to be lieve that in a very short period the vo3 age between Great Britain and Australia N% ill be pertormed by this route within fifty days, or a month and a half, instead of the tedious passages now noticed. The advocates of the Darien routo have, in any case, the advantage of an entire ab sence of political difficulties, the territory in question being universally recognised as a part of New Granada; whilst sufficient evidence of the cor dial support of the government of that republic is found in the fact that her minister and consul in London are both included in the list of provisional directors. Considering the Twit benefits which must necessarily accrue to New Granada should this mag nificent project be carried into execution, it cannot afford ground for surprise that the Collbtl notion of a ship canal through her territories should t,e warmly supported by the government. In the influx of po pulation, labourers and immigrants, in the up-rising o: rich and busy cities, and in the transformation of the adjacent territory into a populated and fertile district, the produce of which would he immediately applied to the re-victualling of the fleets that would dotty pass through the canal, there is the basis of a vision of prosperity which the legislature of New Granada might indeed glory in attempting to realise. Australian Agricultural shares rallied to-day, leaving off 237 to 242. South Australian Land were also considerably beter, closing 50 buyers, after the official hours. The shares of the New Australian Banks were also rather higher. In addl.. tion to these transactions we have to record dealings in the following, viz.:—Bank of British North America, 59, 60; London Bauk of Australia and India (21. paid), 1), ; Oriental Baak Corporation, 451, 46 ; Londoa Docks, 128!, 1291 ez div.; Crystal Palace, 5; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 66i; Scot►ish Australian Investment (11. paid), 21, I ) cx div. and ex new.
