The feta= =rine for working would be at a Winona rite, because the directors bed established a budget which hed =fay effected the utmost economy. For the femere the when =ponies would not exceed 10,4001, per mance, sad the revenue accounts would be of the amplest poseible character. Ho would seat allude to the traffic. The cote ray had never been in what he would call a normal elate, it had always been M debt, and the menial of the directors had been concentrated on the work of keeping the wolf from the door.

The debts , were only 33,0001., fpm reduceable by 10,0001. available awns, leaving 23,00% at the diepooal of the directors to deer op all outstanding claims and to make all far that neameary works and meet cartels expenses. He wee able to declare that this would be the last lea, and that with it the capital account would be finally Mead. (Hear.) Compering the operation with other loans, he believed the berme to be fair and reasonable, and further he W to state that they were the same as those on which the treat Luxembourg, with a government guarantee, had recently obtained pecuniary eadatune. His (the chair ames) firm had subscribed /fir nee-half of the shares, which win at the disposal of the share holders. The abas•boadin bad, however, the right without the obli whim he had undertaken both the obligation and the eight. M.

They would wait until better Oat, when he hoped they would be sere advantage rushy reelable for the company. (Cheers.) In mower ao another quietism, Mr. RP.1,04 explained the nature of Mr. Mesa r' debt. At the commencement of the railway 30,0001. had to be sent one to Belgium se caution money. This sum was remitted to Mr. Ideal, who was then the banker of the rompuiy. That =edam= adetquently became embarrassed, hut 2:41)001. had been recovered out of hie estate, and he be hoved a further eon would be recovered. While, however, the nutter remained open it was necessary that the debt should Appear in the me-ousts. Mr. W.

He considered thet to be better than they could have expected, and that car. Bisehoffebeina reedier' to take the whole was • moat healthy symptom. Mr. Bieraffebeint was one of the elintediet an he know, and if he wee wilting to wait Ina money, the Begllsh shereholdere mod sot hesitate. Mr. Biachoffeltaire's offer was the beat opinion they could have, as to the future prospecte of their company. As to the he terms, thought It wee most extraor dinary that they should have obtained the same se the Luxembourg, which had • government guarantee, and whom property wee sot hypothecated, as theirs was to previous debenture.. He was most agreeably surprised at the prepaid now male, which la round numbers might be considered as an additional call of 10. per share. As for at he uuderatood the prereitiou and the statement that had bees made, he congratulated the sherabolders upon it. The Cita tav IN, in putting the reenlutioe, said that the abaseboldere might chum the oldorationa at the rate of one for every 20 Mares, but they need not take any if they did not me dt. He could freel indorse Mr. Field's opinion, as to the veto* of Mr. th ' 'a opinion, but that gentle man had taken care to have good menagenend by making the diroaors themselves take • portion of the obligation,. Ile hived that the shareholder, would lose= time in ending their proxio. to the meeting in Belgium, as, unless two thirds of the shareholders were represented at the meeting, it mood be adjourned for • mouth, and in the meantime the whole affairs of the company would be hung op. In answer toe question, Mr. REIIAN elided that the com pany had the ' , moorland guarantee on the whole of the line, and that the whole of the moths money had been returned. The resolution woe then put and carried unanimously. After some e splenetic= ae to the mole in which it was expeettil the receipts would be inereamed, the proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman.

The weekly court at the Bank of England has broken up without reducing the rate of dis count, but the funds maintain the closing quotations of yesterday. Other Stock Exchange securities are well supported, with the exception of English railway shares, which have generally fallen. Consols for the Bth of April are quoted 97 to t, and for money, 981 to 97. Bank Stock for account has been dealt in at 228}; Exchequer BBL; at 375. to 41s. prem., being la. lower; and India Bonds at 30s. prem. Turkish Six per Cents. remain steady, at 1011; to 1021 ; Spanish and Peruvian Bonds met with more inquiry; other foreign stocks are steady. Sales are recorded as follows :—Bresilian Old Five per Cents., 1051; Buenos Apes De ferred Three per Cents., 17; Belgian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 (exch. 268.); Dutch Two•and-a-Half par Cents., 631 to 661 (exch. 126) ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 201; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for account (29th March), 81 to 811; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 100 ; Spanish Three :per Cents.; for account, 44i; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., for account, 261 to 261; the Com mittee's:Certificates, 41 to 6 ; Turkish Six per Cents., for account (March 29),102 to 1011 ; do. Guaranteed Four per Cents., for account, 104. At Paris to-day (Thursday), according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 69.60 for the account, being the same as they closed yesterday. The Bourse is described as " firm, an d rather animated." TEN MINUTES PAST Two. Consols have receded to 96 to 97 for the amount. The purchase of the government broker yesterday on account of the Sinking Fund of the Russian war loans was less than 15,0001.; but these opera- 1 tions, being continued on each public transfer day, give a certain support to the market. The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday was about 63,0001., all Australian. About 15,0001. of the gold per the Blackwell was yesterday purchased on continental account. The demand for exporta tion, however, is comparatively limited, and there is every prospect of some further large amounts of gold being sent into the Bank during the week. In the discount market the rate for good bills is 21 to 2k per cent., but transactions take place as low as 2 per cent. At the Bank there are still very few applications. The belief is gaining ground that a reduction of the minimum rate of that establish ment to 2} per cent. will not be much longer delayed. The French Minister of Finance hasjust reduoed the rate of interest on Treasury Bonds k per cent. The terms now fixed are from 31. to 4k per cent., accord ing to the time which the bonds have to run. This step is calculated to strengthen the market for the Rents. The improvement in the position of the Bank of France has induced an impression at Paris that the council will ere long reduce the rate of discount from 4 to 3i per cent. At Hamburg the rate of discount, which has re mained at the extraordinarily low level of 11 per cent. for many weeks, is now somewhat higher, at about 2 per cent. Of the 242,6001. in specie brought from the West Indies by the steamer La Plata, 98,1001. is de scribed as gold, and 148,4001. se silver. The 192,80 W. in gold brought from Melbourne by the Bent will reach London to-day. On Tuesday about 40,0001. in silver reached the Thames from Boulogne. It is said that a considerable quantity of silver arrived at Suez from China, per the steamer Gra nada, en route to London. The steamer Caledonian, for Hamburg, took out 26,0001. in silver from the Thames yesterday. At Amsterdam the exchange on London is rather higher, and at Hamburg somewhat lower. Advices from Liverpool mention the stoppage of a house largely engaged in the South American trade. Many of the South American markets are convulsed by the news of the crisis in Europe. Only a few forms have now to be gone through before the Eight Million Indian Loan Bill becomes law. The Admiral Grenfell has arrived from Shanghae with 358,7001b5. of tea. Letters received at Lloyd's, dated Callao, Feb. 10, mention that six foreign ships, viz., three American and three Chilian, had been seized by the Peruvian government, in consequence of having been found loading guano at" improper places." The Brazilian advices mention that the first sec tion of the Pernambuco Railway has at length been opened for traffic. The shares of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company were scarcely affected in price yesterday by the news of the loss of the Ava. The company insure their own vessels. The Ava registered 1,600 tons, and was built at Glasgow in 1855, by Meagre. Tod and WOregor. She has been employed between Calcutta and Suez for about two years. For a few months, however, she has been detained at Hong Kong, for the accommodation of Lord Elgin. She was considered one of the finest boats of the com pany's fleet trading in the Eastern Seas. Of the large sum of 253,0001. in silver which was on board, for account of the Bombay government, 28,5004 has been recovered, and according to a telegram re ceived by the company, hopes were entertained of saving the remainder. The mails, baggage, and cargo were all lost. The vessel is described as." fast breaking up." The weekly traffic return of the London and North Western Railway Company presents a decrease of 4,9711. ; the Great Western a decrease of 1,3161.; the London and South Western a decrease of 1,0691.; snd the Great Northern a decrease of 5,4361. In the latter case the falling off is partly explained by the circumstance that during a portion of the week the line was blocked up with snow. The annual meeting of the London General Omni bus Company is called for the 31st inst., at Paris. An extraordinary general meeting of Bernard's Patent Machine Boot and Shoe Company (limited) is called for the 29th inst., when it will be proposed to adopt an " sgreement for the lease or license and conditional sale of the works, machinery, and patent rights belonging to the company." The half-yearly interest, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, is advertised on the preference shares of the London and Greenwich Railway Company. WEDNESDAY limns*. Throughout the Stock Exchange to-day a ten dency towards improvement was observable. It is apparently considered that the aspect of politics is now more settled, whilst the accumulation of un employed capital is larger than ever, and at a period of the quarter when, under ordinary circumstances, ease does not prevail. In several departments of the stock market investments were effected to-day upon a more liberal scale. It is said that, amongst other operations, a leading discount establishment is accumulating a large reserve of government stock, consequent upon the recent resolution of the Bank of England cutting off the facilities hitherto accorded. News of a further improvement on the Paris Bourse contributed greatly to strengthen the market iu the afternoon. The funds attained a rise of about 3 per cent. French railway shares, which have lately shown so much depression, were decidedly buoyant. Consols, which closed yesterday at 961, " sellers," for the Bth of April, opened this morning at 963 to 97, and closed at 97 to 3. For money the last price was 963 to 97. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 983, 961, 963, 961; ditto, for amnia (Bth April), 963, 97. India stook, for account, 220, 223. The Exchequer Bonds falling payable in May, 1869, continue in demand, and were officially marked 101 and 101 t. Exchequer Bills, both March and June, were quoted 38s. to 425. prem. The June bills will doubtless be renewed at the same rate of interest sa that now paid on the March issue. India Bonds were dealt in at 265. to 30s. prem. In the foreign stock market there were some symptoms of a revival of business. Turkish Six per Cents. closed rather higher than yesterday, at 101! to 102 t. The Guaranteed Four . per Cents. were firm, at 104 to 3. Other foreign desc riptions were well imp ' ported. . . . . Bank shares to-day experienced little change in price. Ottoman Bank closed at 171 to 18/. Western Bank of London were marked 31, 30, and 31 (Mk paid), being rather better. National Discount shares were more inquired for. London Dock stock was officially marked 1041. Other miscellaneous seen ritiea remain quiet. The New Six per Cent. Preferential Bonds of the Grand Tronk Railway Company of Canada, issued at 97 per cent., bare fallen to par to prem. THE POLICE COURTS. THIS DAT.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—As the Diadem was pass ing the Needles on making Spithead on Tuesday about noon a singular accident happened to her steering apparatus, which for a moment or two pieced her In a 'Rorke of great jeopardy. It appears that in consequence of the threatening =oe of the weather outside she bad her yoke shippe4 steering by the ward- room wheel, as well as that upon the upper deck, when suddenly ohs would not answer her helm, nor could the rudder be moved. A vessel close on the port bow was rapidly approaching, which luckily backed her head yards. The first lieutenant (Mr. Hiadey) at the captain's desire, rushed down to no what was the matter; perceiving nothing wrong in the ward-room, and that the rudder still remained immoveable, he luckily went into the captain's atter-cabin, when he discovered that the iron fastening which secures the block to the stern of the ship bad snapped, and the block forcibly driven assinst the yoke• head would not allow the helm to act. With great presence of mind. and on his own responsibility, he seized a tomahawk, and cut the spare tiller-ropes that were thus jelpardising the ship in two, close to the standing-post thea helm immediately acted, ld the Diadem luckily cleared the vessel, but there was not a quarter of a minute to spare. Moreover, had the ropes attached to the upper-deck-wheel been carried away in the interval nothing could have saved the ship going ashore. Lieutenant Mickley's presence of mind, doubtless, mired the ship. THE LATE MCRDER OF THE GREER SEAMAN AT SwAtisiA.—On Saturday morning neat, at eight o'clock, the two men now under sentence of death at Swansea for the murder of the Greek seaman will be executed at the beads of Calmat, the common hangman. The scaffold will be erected at the southern extremity of the gaol, directly opposite the infirmary, where, doubtless, a large concourse of spectators will assemble to witness that solemn vindica tion of English justice, which is calculated to arils the contemplative with awe and the guilty with terror. The unfortunate principals in the mournful affair appear to be perfectly resigned to their fate, and nothing in the shape of a confession has, that we have been able to learn, tree roads by either of them. They have been unrenituingly attended by the Rev. E. B. Squire, chaplain of the gaol, who has paid the greatest aseidnity to their moral preparation for the awful alternative which awaits them.
