Scotland, from the extensive and increasing production within it of LDig Mon, it a cheaper coat than i n any other country, is obviously the ocality best suited for the manufacture of malleable iron. And when it Is considered that at present there are only four malleable iron works in operation (besides two in the course of erection), it will be apparent that there is ample scope for the increase of such works. The present produce of Pig Iron in Scotland is about 10,000 tons per week, of which, from the in, re want of the necessary works, only about 1,300 tone (little more than one.aceer.th part) are manufactured there; while, in England, the proportion of manufactured Iron is esti mated at nct I've than three-fourths. A large portion of Scotch Pig Iron, therefore, conrimics to be sent annually for manufacture to England. That this Branch of the Iron Trade will continuo to be a peculiarly profitable one cannot be doubted, a' there are not only the numerous Ilailways in this conntry, bat also Railways all over the world, to be supplied with Rails. Resides, an increased consumpt of other dexerip lions of Malleable Iron may be relied on. As to the best sits for the proposed Works, it is believed that the town of Dunfermline will be found to combine more advantages far inch an undertaking than any other place that can be named. Among other advantages, the following may be noticed 1 .t. The plentiful supply and eheapnear of excellent coal in the tm no ;late vicinity of the town. het The supply of pig iron, of the best description for the purpose, from the Forth, Kinniel, and Devon iron works, all within a few miler of Dunfermline. 3rd. The abundance of conveeient dwellings for the workmen within the town, which will save the company the heavy expense of entvng a large number of workmen's houses, to which similar works are usually subjected. 4th. Connection by railway with the sea-port of Charlestown, for the , liipinent of Iron.—And, Sth. Dunfermline will soon become a central point for railways, br,aulling id in all directions ; and thus afford a cheap convey: min fur the produce of the intended work.s to all parts of the country.

The morning papers announce the unopposed re turn of the Hon. Mr. LAWI.ES, a Repealer, for the borough of Clonmel, in the room of the Bight Hon. DAVID PICOT, now Chief Baron of the Exchequer. Some dissatisfaction was expressed at the non-appear ance of the new Member at the hustings, who is stated to be at present amusing himself in the Highlands. He did not even trouble the electors with on address. The private letters received from America are re plete with speculations as to the probable effect of the late movement in Mexico upon the question of peace or war with the United States. Some areinclined to think that SANTA ANNA'S policy will be pacific. Such is the hope entertained at Washington ; and though preparations are still made for the prosecu tion of hostilities, it is understood to have been decided at a Cabinet Council held on the 2t:th ult., that nothing decisive shall be undertaken, as on attack upon Vera Cruz, till the effect of the new revolution is more fully ascertained. The feeling is very general that Mr. POLK has been in communication with the ex- President, and that no inconsiderable portion of the two million dollars, voted by Congress for peace purposes, had found its way to Havana. When the last accounts left Mexico affairs were still unsettled I in fact the capital was in the crisis of a pronunciumento; so that it is difficult to estimate the general feeling as it affects relations to be maintained with the United States. From all that can be collected, however, hostilities would be continued. The two great chiefs would, it was supposed, reconcile their differences : and while SANTA ANNA remained at home to organize a strong government, PAREDFS wouldcon tinue in command of the army, and march directly upon Monterey. Upon the engrossing subject of the royal marriages in Spain, there is nothing fresh to communicate. The Liberals of Seville have joined the Progresistas of Madrid in protesting against the union of the INFANTA with the DUKE OF NIONTPENsIER, and the I:spectailor, Clamor Public°, and Er() (1.1 have been seized for publishing observations on the communication addressed by Mr. BULWER to M. Isruarrz. We extract the following from the Madrid petition to the Queen against the MoNT cENSIER alliance:— "Nations, Senora, have their antipathies as well as ; and in the present case, the antipathy of the Spanish people, not to the French people, but to all that France imposes on us, that antipathy 14 well founded. Could your Majesty go amongst the masses of your people, and hear their voim—the voice of the high, the middling, and the low—one cry you might hear,—one cry only, and that is, l'ut no trust in France !' You are not acquainted with the antipathy against all that it French in Spain. You do not know, because you cannot know it, that universal and deep-rooted antipathy. To give your Majesty an idea of its magnitude, we shall only inform you that, in the or dinary language of the people, the words ' traitor ' and miscreant' do not rouse in their hearts so much aversion as Afrancesado." The following is from the rm's' correspondent : " I must now sava word as to the state r f feeling i.t Madrid on the marriage. it w , .uld be difficult to describe the ex citement that prevails in alt quarters of the town, and amongst all classes. Pasquinades and dogerel verse are in full play. I received this morning several copies of a poetical composi tion in a burlesque style, writ'en half French and half Spanish, and turning the French Prince into ridicule. They came out in the supplement of the Espectador, and for which, by the way, a prosecution is to be commenced against the publisher. The feeling of detestation against the French is intense, and is beginning to show itself mos unequivocally. The pastry-cso'ar and confectioners, who usually exhibit in their shop windows the words " Per estito de Paris," or Getter°, Francesos,"have already erased them. Caricatures are handed about of M. Bresson, Louis Philippe and Montpensier. This feeling is the greatest among the lowest classes. If it increase in the same proportion, I should begin to dread some sudden outbreak in the pre sent excited state of the public mind. I have reason to believe that every effort is made to excite all the ancient prejudiciss which existed againt the French, bltli amongst the people and the army, and I fear these efforts will suc ceed but too well. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. YORK. Sept. 14. A special meeting of this Company was held at the Railway Station to-day, to obtain the formal assent of the proprietors to the arrangements made by the Directors under the Hull and Selby Railway Purchase Act. George Hud son, Esq., MX., chairman of the company. presided, and submitted two resolutions to the meeting, which were respee tively carried without oppcsition. The first declared in sub stance that the York and North Midland Company accepted a lease of the Hull and Selby Railway, with its branch and plant for 1,000 years, from the Ist of July. 1815, and that the Leeds and Manchester Railway company should have the option of joining in the lease on terms alre.ady agreed upon. The second declared that the Hull end Selby Railway. with its branch and plant, should be purchased by the York and North Midland Company, and that the Manchester and Leeds should have the option of joining in the pure ase. Here the business of the day, in so far as the York and North Midland Railway was concerned, terminated. TILE YORK AND NEWCASTLE RAILWAY COMPANY. SPECIAL MEETING. Immediately after the above meeting, a special meeting of the proprietors of the York and Newcastle line was held, in the sime room, G. HUDSON, Esq., M.P., the chairman also of this company, still presiding. Mr. CLOSE, the secretary, read the advertisement con vening the meeting, and The CHAIRMAN said—The first resolution, gentlemen, which I have to submit to you has reference to the leasing and proposed purchase of the Great North of England Rah way. You are all aware that that line is now in the posses sion of this company, and it is very satisfactory to me to be enabled to make a communication to von at this meeting which may not be uninteresting. It is this—that although for the first year we sustained some lose, still the directors have been enabled to make up the deficiency by means which I shall explain to you at the proper time. (Applause.) Since the Ist of July last, the increase of traffic has been so great that we are now sitting at a small profit—at all events at no loss. (Renewed applause.) We opened the Richmond branch the other day, but our rent will not be increased this year on that account, nor shall we have more to pay to those respectable gentlemen who sold the Great North of England line to us, and brought forth such strong comments from " Cato," and other Solomon, for having sold an article so outrageously dear to us. (Laughter and applause.) Though they have exacted the last "pound of flesh" from us, it is gratifying to the directors to be in a position to inform you that we shall not only be able to pay our way this half year , hut also to make some profi: out of the line; and when the Berwick line is completed we shall derive a considerable income from that source. (Loud applause.) I was down at Newcastle lately, and I then made great progress in the pur chase of property necessary' far the passage of the line through the town of Newcastle. I hope and believe that the line to Berwick will be opened, in all probability, in the first week of February next. I think that in about a month the line will be opened to Morpeth and Tynemouth, and we shall then come into the receipt of something like 1,000/. a week, which will be very satisfactory. considering that that sum will be derived from only 12 or 14 miles -of the line. (Applause.) When I refer to the price given for the'Great North of England, I am ready to admit that it is a considerable sum; yet it is satisfactory to know, that by that purchase the public at all events have not suffered, but that, on the contrary, it has been highly bene ficial to them ; for so soon as we became liable to pay this large rent, at the same time we had the courage to reduce the rates 20 per cent. on every train running betweca York and Darlington. (Applause.) I think that, Gentlemen, is some answer to the complaints and observations of indi viduals who either do not know how to appreciate the posi tion of companies, or who feel it to he ro part of their duty, although they choose to write in the public prints, to make themselves acquainted with the real facts of the case with which they pretend to deal. (Hear.) If such individuals' had troubled themselves to inquire, they would have found that the fares of first-class passengers between York and Darlington had been reduced from 13s. to Ils. ' • second- 1 class from 93. to 81. ; and third-class from 6s. 6d. to 3s. (Ap plause.) Now, after that large reduction has been made, althsugh we are bound to pay so large a rent, I think, gen tlemen, that there is some merit due to the directors, and that they are entitled to some gratitude from the public for having undertaken so great a risk upon so thinly-populated a line as the Great North of England. I repeat that, after ,ey a lueas.estask sa great a vednetiou in the fares, and under stink cireignitaritts, I think that the observations which have I eon bandied about frum day to day respecting the leasing and purchase of the Great North of England and the Hull and Selby lines might fairly have been dispensed with. (Ap plause.) We are entitled by act of parliament to take these fares, sad we have not gone beyond any powers which that act vests in us. But again, on the Hull and Sclhy line, we are carrying first-class passengers for less than 2d. a mile; second-class passengers for less than lid. a mile; and the third-class passengers for less than Id. smile; and therefore I really do think that these observations should not have been made by parties who do not at all understand the question. (Applause.) Those observations had been so unfair and so unjust, that I do bane that the public, through the press, will be placed in possession of the facts which I have now stated. (Renewed applause.) I am in the habit of reading these letters which appear in print from time to time, and I do so because I think there is some information to be de rived from them ; but I wish that the parties who write them would make themselves acquainted with the whole facts, and not try to mislead the public as they arc doing, through the instrumentality of a certain portion of the pub lic press. (Applause.) I would here observe, that what was formerly known as the Great North of England and the Newcastle and Darlington, will in future he entitled the York and Newcastle line, and that the receipts of the Great North of England will be published along with those of the Newcastle and Darlington, under that name for the future; and the receipts from the Berwick line will be published, along with the Newcastle and North Shields, as the Berwick and Newcastle receipts. (Applause.) Now, with regard to that line—the Newcastle and Darlington that was—we are carrying first-class passengers nine miles for nine pence; second-class passengers nine miles for sixpence; and third class passengers nine miles for fourpence. (Applause.) The attacks, therefore, that have been made upon this subject appear to me to be most unjust, for the fares must be regu lated according to the nature of the districts through which different lines may paw. I have always been anxious that the rates should he apportioned fairly as regards the public, and at the same time in such a manner as to give to the shareholders a fair recompence for the outlay of their capital. 1 he public have no right to expect more than this from us, because, although ft is not very likely, still we may be super seded by some other invention ; and surely, considering the risk we have to run, we ought to have something more than an ordinary rate of interest,—and how few lines had paid more until very lately. (Applause). The Midlands also reduced their fares from the let of January last, averaging from 7 to Id per cent., and therefore I say again, that the cry attempted to be got up against these undertakings is most unjust and unfair. (Hear, hear). I don't complain as an individual, because I know that from my position I have a right to be attacked, and they may say what they think proper about me. I often receive communications, from correspondents, containing matters of complaint, and the parties writing often say, " If you dont attend to this immediately, I 'hall address the public through the Times. (Laughter.) My answer generally is, that I shall attend to the subject, but that if it would be the least gratification to the parties to send to the Times, I have not the least peed ble objection. I do nothing which I fear coming before the publ:c; and if dm Times think it worth their while to pub- lash these soil of communications, I have not the least objee tion, for they save me the trouble of answering them. I do not wish to say much about the Times. but I certainly have been a good deal amused occasionally with their strong ad vocacy of excessive low rates, and for the conveyance of the public cheaply and safely. I quite assent to the latter pro position; but still I contend that such extraordinary accom modation has been given to the public by the English capitalists, who have provided this country with 4,000 miles of railway, as to fully compensate for any excess of charge over the French system, which had only, up to a recent period, provided that country with 300 miles of railway. There are very few advantages connected with the French system—a fact which has been fully proved before a com mittee of the House of Commons. (Applause.) I do not find fault with the Times, but I do like to see those who advocate low fares carry the principle fairly out themselves ; and if they do not do so, they cannot complain if, by a little investigation, it turns out that these gentlemen in their own individual capacity, are fund of high charges themselves. (Laughter, and cries of "Hear, hear.") Now, an proprietors of railways, you of course have to pay largely for the inser , tion of your advertisements, and I have been rather curious to see whether The Times are the liberal people to the public which th profess to be.when dealing with other men's pro perty. (Hear, hear.) I have been curious to sec whether Mr. Walter, who says that his advice in constantly required fir guiding the affairs of The Times; whether his judgment goes a'ong with the low charges, and the low rate of interest which he proposes railway companies should receive. (Ap plause.) I have an advertisement before me, which was published on a certain day, and for the insertion of which, whilst the Morning Chronicle charged V. 35., The Times charged 3/ 18s. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) There are many similar cases, and this is certainly a very rich one in its way. I do not wish to eneouragethe Morning Chronicle, to charge 3/e. 18s., but rather to suggest to the Times the propriety of charging 3/. 3s. (Hear, hear.) If the Times were content with 10 per cent. for their money, as railway proprietors were cbliged to he, I should think they would give an advantage to the public by charging about one-fourth of what they do at present for advertising. Mr. IValter:is a gentleman whose position I do not envy—he is a gentleman whom I admire, and I accord with many of his sentiments. I have not the pleasure of knowing him but :eora character, and I entertain towards him feelings of the greatest respect; and I do say that if he were content with 10 per cent.—if the Times were to charge a quarter of what they have done, you, es shareholders, and, as a portion of the pubPc, would derive considerable advantage. (Applause.) As we have agreed (but arc not pledged) to take no more than 10 per cent., if the Times would make a similar pledge, instead of paying '3d. for that paper, we might obtain it, as they sould the publication of a contemporniy, for 21d. (Hear, hear.) I do not say that that is quite right, nor do I find fault with it. But it may be urged that we have got an act of parliament, and great powers along s ith it, and it is quite true'; but it is must be remembered that we had to pay for those great powers in the most liberal manner to the public. (Applause.) Under that act of parliament we have taken land, and what landowner complains of our having done so ? Not one. And why ? Because we merely obtained that act of parliament to make all things fair and reasonable. (Applause.) Then it is said we have got a monopoly; and that may be so to a cer tarn extent; but the old means of conveyance is still open, and the public cm avail themselves of it if they think pro per. They, however, leave the old conveyance, and come to us, because we can carry them cheaper and better. (Hear, hear.) But to return to the Times: it may said, "You may advertise with us or not, as you like—there are other parrs of which you may avail yourselves." So it is with railways. We may say to the public, " There are other means of con veyance, and if you do not like our charges. you are not bound to travel with us." Lord Worley travels in a second class carriage, because he has threepence a mite to pay, which he used to give to the postboy. I have also seen directors travel in second class carriages—(laughter)—and I have no objection to Lord Woraley or any other gentle man doing so, but I cannot say that I admire their taste. The Times says, " Yon need not advertise with us unless you like," but will any gentleman here tell me, as a proprietor in railways, that if a meeting were going to be held, it would not be made a grave charge against us if we had not advertised in the Times? Possessing the cir culation which that journal does, it is imperative upon us to advertise with them, and to pay them what they choose to charge; otherwise we should not, as commercial men, go and pay 31. 18s. for that which we could get for 3/. 3a. else where. I submit, therefore, that it is no answer to say, "You can go where you like," so far as the Times is con cerned. (Applause.) They have a power of money to obtain information from all parts of the world, and all com mercial men who wish to know the state of the money mar ket, the state of commerce, or anything else, must read the Times, as well as the Morning Chronicle, and therefore it is idle to tell us that we need not buy their papers unless we like. (Applause.) I do not want the Times to reduce the price of their paper to 21d., but I think that if the argument holds good as to railways, t is equally strong in its application to the Times. The public are large consumers of papers, and they would derive con siderable advantage from a reduction in the price of the Times to 21d., same as the Daily News, and a still greater advantage if the terms for advertising were reduced one fourth. I make these observations in perfect good humour. I have no wish to provoke the ire of the Times, but when there seems occasion for it. I Phan never shrink from the statement of such facts ea I have brought before you this day. (Applause.) I don't know whether the Daily News is paying its proprietary. That is a matter 1 know nothing about, as I have nothing whatever to do with that journal, with whose principles I so far differ that I should be the last man in the world to be a supporter of it. (Hear, hear.) I may just observe that the Times also charges more than the Standard. It may be said that the Times offers greater ad vantages, but so it is. (Hear, hear.) But with regard to the resolution which lam abo ut to submit for your approval, I beg leave to observe, in reference to the attack that has been made upon Parliament fur sanctioning this bill, that parties had no opportunity of hearing the evidence given before the committee. We showed that the effect of this bill was to give unity of management, increases ac commodation to the public, and to secure a reduction in the charges so large that I am quite satisfied the public will be amply compensated for the powers which were given us. It is not considered by those who write upon tke aubjeet that we are effecting a vast economy by doing away with a number of establishments. The fact, however, is that such economy takes place that we are enabled to give the parties of of whom we lease or purchase the line a better price ; and whilst we can do this without any injury to the public, we can at the same time secure to our proprietary a greater per centage than can be done by a separate and distinct company. Why, then, this uproar about a thing which every man of common sense will see must be caried out with advantage to the public, and to you es shareholders. (Applause.) I have made these few observations in the very best spirit, and for myself, as an individual. I am quite prepared to stand by my own position. The resolution which I have to submit to you, gentlemen, is this That this Co mpany do agree to accept a lease for such a term of years us the directors thereof do approve ; and also to purchase the Great North of England Railway, and its Richmond branch and other works sod property, more particularly specified in a certain deed of arrangement, aided the 28th day of August, 1845, on the terms and conditions therein, and in a certain indenture of lease, dated the 27th day of the Panic month, both now produced, which same instruments this meeting approves and confirms." The resolution was adopted unanimously, and the CHAIR man then observed that he had not purchased a single share in eitner the Great North of England or the Hull and Selby lines; nor had he made a single sixpence by either of the purchases. He had no interest in them but as trustee over the interest of the shareholders over whom he had the honour to preside, and as a joint proprietor with them. (Applause.) He was glad to say that the increase of traffic was gradually reducing their responsibility; and there was one point which told in their favour, and to which he wished particularly to allude—namely, that, on the 30th rf November, the lease which had been grauted by the Great North of England com pany to the coal-owners would expire. This, he hoped, would add eassaiderably to titer revenue. The Richmond branch, too, was likely to produce a considerable income. It had only cost about 11,000/, a mile ; it reseed through a very beautiful country ; and lie was satisfied that it would prove a lucrative undertaking. They hoped to open the Bore'- bridge branch by Cluistmas, or a little after; and he had no doubt that this, too, would asitst materially in relieving the proprietary of this company from all their engagements, and in placing a surplus at their disposal. The CHAIRMAN then moved the following resolutions con secutively, and they were severally carried unanimously That this cornpany do agree to purchase the Durham and Sun derland Railway, with nil the property and effects connected there with, and more articularly mentioned in a certain indenture, bearing date the lfth day of Dceendx , r, 1845, and now produced, on the terms and conditions therein contained, and which inure is hereby con firmed." 2. "That this company do agree to purchase the Weartnoath Dock, and the property and elfeeta belonging thereto, ut the sum of 83,000 f. 3. "That the directors he authorised and empowered to treat and enter into an agreement fur the purcluuw of the Pontop and Smith Shields Railway, and the works and property belonging thereto." Speaking of the Wearmouth Dock purchase, the CHAIR MAN observed that the flocks had cost the original pro prietors 140,000/. ; and he thought this company would he able to make a profitable undertaking of it. The purchase of the Peotop and South Shields Railway was a matter which had been entrusted chiefly to Mr. Robert Stephenson, and he had not had an opportunity of meeting him lattly, as he had been from home. lie was therefore not prepared to enter into any details, but inasmuch as they already ran a considerable distance upon that line, he thought it was important that it should be in their hands. /The company only wanted a fair price for it ; and he thought the directors would be able to pay the share holders of this company a good dividend upon the amount required for its purchase. Ile had now got through his bill of fare, and he was very much obliged to the gentlemen present for their attendance. On the motion of Mr. Alderman GRAY, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and he having brittly acknow ledged the compliment, the meeting separated. COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

Dutch Rhenish was reported better from Liverpool. Read;ng, Guildford, and Reigate are lower, owing to two calls already made by the directors,the first payable the 24 pros., amount ing together to 2/. 188. These successive calls are not viewed with much satisfaction by the holders, and the necessity for them is thought to be the less apparent, because, according to the report to the shareholders, the directors should haves large fund in hand. It may be noted, that calls which appear to be superfluous, are sometimes viewed suspiciously, as if indicating a desire to depress a stock, in order to favour the purchases of the larger capitalists, espe cially if, as in the present case, it be a favourite stock in the market, from the 41 per cent. rate of interest guaranteed upon it, besides a share of profits, under any circumstances.
