Mr. de Vete had evidently thought much on the postal question, and gave grad evidence, but still his opinion was that Mr. de Vera was a little influenced by his wish to find fault with everything connected with the poor law. He (Lord Jae) believed this bill would be a useful auxiliary to the bill for the sale of encumbered e•te es. If land was made valueless, what use in a bill to (militate sales ? Mr. HERBERT would not speak long. (Cries of " Ad. ja•rn.") He thought the principle of • asiziontra would compensate for the vice of the bill. There was nothms remedial in the bill. There would be future calls on the itnprrial Exelstquer. 41 Id. was the largest sum ever col lected in the distressed unions. Thus capitalists would never be safe. Mr. ADAIR said more than 4s.

IT would be diffictit to fled a page of any eountry'e annals more demonstrative f the benefits of Pm :dues faire—the let-alone system—in polities, than the message of the President of the French Repubic, give n to the world in the Moniteur of Thursday. Whilst almost all the mocerchs of Europe are pair fully enraged in doing everythirg for their subject., universally to their sully eta' disgust, the French Pre sioent takes 'ratters and men as he fnis them, ar d reeennts how, from the very lowest state of weak ness and confusion, Frew h politics, as well as French commerce, have recovered of themselves, without government troubling Itself to do more than the common constabular duty of keeping the peace. The entire moral indeed of this presidential tale, if I not the whole tale itself, is simply this : wherever' and in whatever things I and my goveramt rat have interfered, these things have gone wrong. Wherever and in whatever things I and my government have left things to themselves, they have righted, and gone cm well. Like a genuine Frenchman, LOUTS NAPOT.FOS is evidently not contented with seeing these goof re sults arrive of themselves. He would gladly have had more hand in them. He excuses himself fcr not dying move, on the ground that " he was not is pos session of his full constitutional powers." We can not, however, but think it fortunate that since De cember, government has been so weak, and the eons- i try so strong—politicians so immolate, whilst the polo lie pursued its own onward line, the commu nity setting itself so act'vely to repair the ruin caused by the ravager and the soldier. Government, with its public criers and its public ' I writers', have indeed been exclaiming " Ord. r, order," with great energy ; but the great mass of the people have been keeping and ensuring this same order more effectually, by the tranquil pursuit of indu.try. The simple feet of the imports of the raw materials of manufacture having reached once more in 1849 the reenter amount of 1847, says far more for the return of security and peace, than the 451,000 - men and the 17,000 guns which the President beasts of having, in addit on to four millioom of national guard.. And indeed, as all we know of thee 451,000 wielders of bayonets, who live at the expense of the state le, that they vote at the elections for socialist candidates, and fraternise with the Roman mlaublicane whom they were sent to reduce, we should be inclined to bssr the public security more on the artisans who me working up these mill'ons of raw material, than on the soldiers, whom government represents as never rare to watch them. But if the let ohm , system has proved itself so eminently the best in domestic administration, it is in f reign vilifies that its wisdom shine+ eminent by the side of the follies and failures of intervention. H rel the Sicilians been from the first left to themselve s, had they been plainly and truly told, that in the event of a struggle, they would &Agin no real sip. port from those amateur fleets and forces that salutrd the independence of Sicily, the people of that is'ard would have known how far to push their resistance, and within what limit to rseeict their demands. But when great powers counte nano., at one time, their rejection of a Bourbon and selection of a CALIGNAN, and when next they counsel a submis.ion which renders the King of NAPLES master of their army, their admini tration, their resources, and their constitution; then on these powers, England and France, rest the odium and the crirneof supporting a nation in the demand of ex's. me liberties, and then stifling in the supprersion of their every liberty and of their last hope of independence. The fate of Sicily , is replete with eternal disgrace both to Frerch and English, and fully destroys not only all influnnce, but all respect formerly paid to them in Southern I'aly. Bat whatever good intentions may have been pleadei for interference in Sicily, the French cannot be allowed even the excuse of them in their Roman exoedition. The account which the presidential document gives cf this unwarrantable act is the most lame, the most false, and the most hypo critical that can be imagined. It is indned as false and as unintelligible as a despatch of M. LESSEPS. It begins with the outrageous untruth of attributing Pope Pius's flight to a conspiracy of the Roman people! When that flight is perfectly well known to have been the result of a diplomatic conspiracy, of which the French ambassador was the spring, and the Bavarian envoy the instrument. The Romans, at first enthusiastic for Ptus IX., grew cold towards him because he sought to prevent C n tral Italy from aiding in the liberation of their brethren of the north. The Pope further increased eir discontent, by leaving unexecu'ed every one of his own constitutional decrees, and by maintaining the ecclesiastical fonctionaries in their old monopoly of dewer and of abase. No people had more lessen , of iscmtent with the government than the Roman.. —a discontent not confined to the rabhle, but shared " Mr. OILMAN said, as to dividing, he would do what the house Med.

It must b a subject of great importance to English men to know whence snooty was to come, whin the maximum was attained. The noble lord said Mr. Martin had tried this as his 'date, promising to pay his tenants when the inazinum was reached. Toe Premier was here Mr. Mame, and the consolidated fund was hi. estate. 8 , that, when the m mimosa was attained, the eamilidated fund was: be attached. What s'imulus was there to em plettamt under this plan ? Toe assumption would be, that the ea isimum rate would always be reached. Su tt at. as the occupier w u the only person who could give inapt eyment, no stimulus would be at aided. The farmer would deal with hie landlord on this amumption. We I are had experMece of this in England. Acts in England (35A Oro. 111., c. 10) formed a precedent. He quoted the 'reelable. (Cries of " GaVery, gallery.") A masia.ma was established in this English act. But then those gentlemen who hope there is any penman, nee in such an arrangement would be disappointed. Another act is passed to double the arrangement. Then game 52 George 111., which ab dished the plan altogether.

Ho asked Low a espit dist, look. to English leg islation 'on Dicta Poor Law affair., could think it safe to Divest 1001 in Irish property, unless their legislalon contained the germs of a better system ?

What would proven• our doubling the maximum? When the maximum is attained, wile re would more mosey come from ? You Cannot diminish pauperism. With Irish mecums. undo velope ', )0u cannot say to the tide of Irish pauperism, That tar shall you eo and no further." The bill had no searaatee that the maximum would not be exceeded. It would not tell well for English representatives to let it be understeol that the remainder should come from English resources. Every statement showed that poverty was ia creasie et. The expenditure exceeded by far ss. in the pound in the disesteemed districts. Ilsw were they to wooed ? There ...gut to be more openness and plain statement in the b 11 It would be recall-eted that the law of settlement depended on the statement of the pauper and the allocation of the guardians. The result of the maximum rate wou'd be to te•upt great injustice to electoral divisioas. One elec toral divieicm would be overburdened, and others compara tively escape. The question is, would you -r not make this law a stimulant to employment ? If farmers cool► thus shuffle of the r burdens on others, how would the end, employ mese. M ,twined? The noble lord had refused to rate whence the overptas of pauperism was to he relieved. There would be so security to the owners of pr minty.

But the French eovernment was uttenly ignorant of We, and founded its policy upon a belief of the contrary. Th's however, resulted from the French republic maintaining at Rome a legitimist arab:savior, a man attached to all the oil priestly and eeeerdota: regimes : a man who could not bat betray and belie the eourtry and the principle he represented. The President of the French Repable lays down, llte Sir ROBERT PEEL, the three lints nf conduct open to him. He, however, omits altogether the only straight forward, just,honotnable, and eMple one, whi.'h was to abstain from interveetint hi ms. lf, and to **nits. strong d's ent, and to object to others interreni .g. Instead of this, an expedition is sent to the coast of the Romsn states. It lands, and makes a dash at Rome, refusing to explain its views, or exchange even civi lities with the de facto gtvrroment of Rome. Of coarse it toe is with resistant'. It is even worsted, yet at the same time so paralyses the Hmina, that the entire of the "Avalon.' are Riven op to Aus`ria without a blow, the Frene'l invasion thus producing that very corqnest of Central Italy by an alnolutist power, which it pretends to have enme to pr.- vent. Meaner and more mendacious documents than the despatches of M. LESSEES we never met with. More simple, yet more powerful, or more just remonstrances, are not to be found in diplomacy THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1849. than those of the Roman tiiumvirate. They are a mirably written and reasoned, and place the Roissin g , vanment ac superior in intel (ct as in right and tii principle to the misiirable and dimented agent r f France. We regret to add that the President of the French Republic holds a language far more akin to the mean Machiavelism of M. Lessus than to the plain, truthful, and honest language of the Roman tnumv:rate. With the exception of these great blots upon the foreign policy of M. BARROT . B government, it is un poes Me nut to applaud its pacific spirit, its temperate tone, and modest opinions. The tone in which the message speaks of all other governments, except of the poor Roman republic, is dignified and concili atory. It avoids offence, and neither fawns nor flatters. It amply acknowledges Russia's recognition, and thir ka us for the "good wishes" which England has (demi France. The sentence, however, contains a covert reproof that England has nothing but " good wishes" to offer. If the influence of the TOCQUEVILLZ and DCFArlti accession to the cabinet was shown in retrenching and correcting all obnoxious phrases and retrograde tendencies from the minis'erial document, especially from its chapter on foreign affairs ; its very language is evident in the resume or concluding summary, In which whole sentences bespeak the pbilo poplin, pen of M. DE TocuurvittE. The distinction between the extravagant pretensions and theeriqi always put forward during the progress of a revolution and the sane, true, and moderate aims of that revolution, is forcibly drawn and nobly worded. Some promises are given of institutions for popular benefit, and, we regret to say, some threats of farther pressive law. We do not perceive, however, that this programme points to the first great necessity, the reconciliation of classes, without which the present system of military watch and ward cannot be put an end to, and without which all efforts at improvement, or reform, or economy inset prove completely idle.

Timex are two kinds of political arithmetic, and although they may not differ widely in their rwtdes of calculation, in the rerdts thereof they widely disagree. The one deals delicately with semblance, and meters of conventional forms; the other has generally more to , do with realities and substantial matters of fact. Lord MARCUS litt.t. proclaims from time to time the wonders of the one, Mr. Hume is accustomed to expatiate on the less obvious though much more important deductions of the other. Seldom, if ever, do their army ts tally, indeed, they must be confessed to be utterly irrecton cileable. A recent case will illustrate our meaning. On Tuesday night a resolution was propeeed by Mr. Hume in his place in rarliament, to the effcet that the evicting stee of the reptesentation woe un satisf lett ry to the ye-iple of this country, and that they wished to sea certain measures token to secure i's safe and necessary n form. Of the debate thereon arising we are not now about to ape .k. The division whereby it was concluded is that with which we are more immediately cone •rned. " The people of Eng land tt.ink as I have told you," quoth Mr. Hume; "poll them to-m'now on the question, and you'll see it is so." " Nay," rejoined L' rd MARCUS, " they think quite otherwise, and I'll p-ove it presently to the world ; for have we not within St. Stephen's wale the algebraic sym bols that constitutionally stand fir long arrays of numbers out of doors, and if you will only be content to divide th , se parliament are X-Y-Zsinto our two lob h es, we shall quickly see which of us is the strouger." Whereupon a wild shout of " I):vide, divide !" an nounced that the latter method t f computation wss more acceptable to those c , rned. The counting of select hoses is a much quicker and quit ter operation then counting the multitudinous bodes which the noble and boo( urable proprietors of the afurt said nasal promontories are supposed to stand for. How far this last supposition is cor rect may, indeed, be doubted ; nor will the misgivings prevalent on th • subject be much alla)ed by the strange discrepancy mada manlost between the re-ults of the proceeding we are now d-scribing. &Ace it to say, I o 4 that af.er the house hod on the cceasinn in quest on been cleared I and re-filled from opposite division doors, instead f a majority :of the peep'," upper icor to have expressed their approval thr.ugh their repreeentatives, of an extended suffrage and more tqoalieed constituencies, the p-epoederence was claimed by the opponents of such reforms and the proportion assigned by patri cian arithmetic to the respective -pinions was that which 268 bears to 82. _ . MEETING AT HAMMERSMITH. Last evening a preliminary meeting of the resi• dents in Hanimenmitb was held in the Albion-hall, for the Purpose of adopting means for the °frail ation of a district asoeciation, to forward ths el+ eta ct ntemolated by the Me tropolitan Parliamentary and Financial Reform Institution. The chair was filled by Dr. Simrsox ; and on the circular by which the meeting had b-ea convened being read, a con versation ensued upon the title to be given to tt.• proposed district assoziation. In the circular the designation adopted was" The Western Branch of the Metropolitan Association;" but Mr. Jerson (who attended from the parent kniety) pointed out that, legally, they could not have " branch swis. tier,"and that each must have a st parate title, indicative of its locality —After a lengthened discuosun, Mr. T. J. BERLE (the dramatist), moved the following res Avalon That this meeting boils' convinced of the necessity of affording every assistance and sup on to the cause of parliamentary and financial reform, now forma itself into a society to aid the efforts of the Metro; oli:sn Mod , ation, under the title of the Ram.uersmith Parliamentary and Finarcial Reform Society." Mr. FLEICHER seconded the mition, upon which it was suggested by Mr. C. Brown, that as several influential gen tlemen resident in the adjacent parishes of Fulham and Chiswick, were deeirous of doing the prop tied society, it wLuld be de•irable in compliment to those important dis tricts, to add their names to the designation of the new asso ciation. Several gentlemen concurred in the segirestkm, bet on the whole it wm. thought best to defer the addition of Fulheaa and Chiswick until a g • I nubTc meting should be h 4 11. The original resolution was then pur, and carried unani• mously. on the motion of Mr. MANSING, seconded by Mr. C. Bkowe, a provisional committee was appointed to carry out the foregoing resolution, and to arrange the preliminariis (or &general public meeting. Mr. Charles Brown having been elected treasurer, and Mr. Fletcher honorary secretary pro tem., the enrolment of members took place, and occuptod the rewinds of thr fitting, which closed with a vote of thanks to the chshrinae. Well may popular arithmetic laugh at such a reckoning, and scout the notioe of assenting to its fella-ions results. Whom do the s 268 represent ? Whose sentinoints do they express? Or what clement of just comparison is there between their averag re presentative signiflancy end that of the men oho are sett by the great constituencies of the empire? None whatever that we are aware of. Let any one read the string of noble young hods and honourable old gentle-ren who figure in the list of the soi-lbsont mei oily, and add together the sum total of their electors, and then for decency's sake let each be granted (what many have not) five hundred of those constitutional retainers, ironically termed eupportere; and then let him try how many of them it will take to outweigh in mere figures tie misnamed ,ninority of 82? Why it was easy to name a tenth of what Lord Motleys pleasantly c ills Mr. Hume's minority—who sit for places whose ins hnbitonts far ontnnmber there who dwell in the various pocket boroughs represented by the oppo nents of to-form—sweeping thus away at once the semblance of a predominance even in figures. The aggregate population of London and Lancashire alone where representatives voted for the proposition of Mr. HUME, do not fall short of it. The sentiments of ailing every great town, who ther in the north or in the s uth, whether manufacturing or commer cial, are well known. Glasgow shares the feeling of Birmingham, and Wolverhampton thinks and votes with Newcastle. Of what real weight in the menial against these ought scores of such places as Horsham and Wycombe, and Leominster and Evesham to be ? The analysis of the Oivision in quieition suogeots, however, many important considerations. In the first place it is not a little remarkable in how many instances the faithful expression of popular feeling is neutrons d, as far as the House of Commons is con cerned, by the vote of the second representative ef the place on the opposite side. In this respect Bristol and Hull; Middlesex and the West Riding ere virtually struck oat of the national council ; while Bradford and Bolton, Cambridge and Oxford, with many more, share a similar fate. A still more curious feature is the absence of many whose presence bad been naturally anticipated. We do not allude to those who, like Mr. ROEBUCK and Mr. DUNCOMBE, were unavoidably precluded from voting on the present occasion in oonformity with their own views; but we should like to know why so many of those who own their seats confessedly to the will of the people happened to be absent when a mat ter so deeply affecting their int-rests was at stake ? Of the two members for Edinburgh but one voted, and that was against popular rights. Of the two members for Glasgow, one only recorded the wishes of his constituents. Of the two members for Leeds, neither were present ; and of the two repnaentativas for Brighton, for Northampton, and for Newcastle, but ono in each took part. What singular concurrence of unpropitious accidents kept all these geAlemen away ? But the most instructive inference to be drawn from the division list of Tuesday night is that which its homer! iety . suggeots. With two or three exceptions, not a name is to be found in the otinority connected with the sristocracy. Of opulence, intelligence, West!, and the h'ghost station which commoners can attain there was indeed no lack ; bat of the monopo lists of hereditary privileges of the nobles by law, as contradistinguished from the ennobled by personal worth, genie*, or attainments—with the few ex ceptions already n.ticed—there was not to be found so much as a bitter younger brother. What need have we of further proof how ut terly untrustworthy are lordlings and fine gentlemen whose liberality is got up for the hostirgs, and is only heard of amid the din of a general election ? Let the people rem.mber these things and avoid the suicidal blunders into which they !lava too often &lieu in seeking the patronage of a needy .aristocrat instead of the service of one of their own order. Until they learn more thoroughly to rely upon the stuff whereof they themselves are made, and to re pudiate the Ira:eh:foul oondetconsion of these who, in their hearts, grudge them every right which they have won, the people of this country will never enter into the full po session of that they are entitled to, and we must frankly own, will not have proved that they are worthy of it. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a special court was held for the ditcut sion of two subjects of cousultratils inttr,st in is City of Ltnion. LEASEHOLD TENURE OP LANDS BILL. Alterman LAWRENCE. in the absence of Aldermen Hugel/bevy, the governor of the Lich Society, rose to present petitions to both houses of parliament, preying that the is. macs under the control of the Society be exempted from the eperattun of the bell now pending. entitled " Au Act for Converting the Renewable Lefewould Tenure of Lasts in Ireland bete a Tenure in Fe ." Alderman Lawrence, in ropoting the adoption of the petition, called the attent un of the court to the a vrsordietery tact that the Kept rty of the Irish S ciety was iecluded in toe operation of the bill, al though it was admitted by those who leer educed it that it the c endnet of the Society had been imitated by the mass of Irish landlords, much misery would have been aver:ed from the Irish people. Toe RECORDER advocated the objects of the petition, which, as legal adviser to the Irish Society, he felt it duty with all his power to endeavour to promote and carry into execution. The bill from the operation of which the corporation desired to have their Irish estates exempted, involved, he might say, almost the very exists ce of the Irish social. It was calculated not only to prevent it from duieg good by the efficacy of their example, but it was a positive impediment to the performance of the centract intoisehich they had entered we h King James 1., when that monarch granted them a charter to establish au Engiash colony on •he estates forfeited by act of attainder against c main of his Irish subjects who had been guilty of re Mr. WIRE was detidedly opposed to the bill as to its arpleability to Birder, and the esetates of the Melt So cie.y ; but he expressed • firm belief In its efficacy as • remedy fey the evils which existed ro abundantly in other parts of Ireland, by affording the means of riddle g 'he land of that clam of men ey e. horn she wes ►auk into her referent d plorahle condition. (Hear, hear.) Is wee his int, naive to ask the court to si ply to aU the ride frimpanies to joie. with the e erporation in buying some o' the extensive estates in Ireland, io arcordateet wile the sugges tion of Sir Robert Peel, and he would instance that of Mr. Martin, of Galway, as d eeeee iog of tierce in such a (Tem. Mr. PEW TRESS said he was, notwithstanding all that had been wild and read, at a lees to know hew the ten•tnte of the Irish Society were to be injured by the bi.l. They were waded to the gamer .1 tenantry of the country, and participated in their feelings and wishes. It they were happy an•l contented they would probably remsin as they were, and not take advantage of Dm measure ; but, te they were diseetiefied and discootentcd, he could not see why they should be prevented tram testing its ellt -icy. aerie Sometimes they were to he found supporting free trade, but the moment arything affecting their peculiar in terests we. brought forward they cried eut, '• Oh, you meet exempt no fr m the operation of that bill. That well never do for us." In hes opini n the tenantry of the !rah Secie ty would remain as they were, whatever might be the result, and woo d lee enabled to support their families with out resorting to the alternative of charity, the dependence upon which was really the curse of that country. Mr. BENNOCH slid he dil not understand the exact nature of the bell, and he wished to hove some precise know ledge on the mihject. The RECORDER here read the oe, inion of an eminent efenveyaucer to whom the bill had been referred, w►o stated that the authority of the society in Ireland would he totally destroyed by the creation of the measure ; and detailed other e. i s and inconveniences as likely to spring from its application to those estates. The petition was then ■ggrreed to, Mr. Pewtress being the only pas en who held up a hand 'pined it. THH BILNILIti:PTCT Alan/118NT BILL.

Capt. Tee boar remat Its in his report (see Appendix), that there is wont in the mines for 310 bier•—that is to gay, that the s ate:A 01 ground opened out would employ borers to the extent of nearly 50 per cent. more than the company has in its service. This fact shows that the au; ply of ore available is in advance of the amount of labour which the company has it io its power to employ—a feet important to be kept in mind, when it is considered that the quantity of ore stamped is 1848 was 58,122 tone. while in 1817 it was only 40,234 „ and in 1846 34 035 It is desirable that the proprietors should be aWe to take en intelligent view of the state and prospects of this undertaking, for which purpose it may be well to repea , here what was said thereon in the bead mining captain's report for 1847. An idea of the prospects us .y be stated thus. The length of sloping ground in the United and Cacho ire lakes is 177 fathoms, average width 14i feet; and from the sur face downward, the lode his bon very gradually enlarging, and it bus maintained quality. Tne length of roping ground iu the Ganitsa is 52 fathoms, and the average width of the lode, 4 feet 7 lecher,. Now how far the lode will continue down it is quite impossible to say; but assuming that the mines were fully manned by 200 benere, it would require about 17 years to eink 100 fathoms, upwards of 31 years to sink 200 f.tboms, and s, on. If the borers be only 100, as at this moment, of course the period would be longer in proportion. This cal culati3n &ea not include the late discovery of the continua thin of the lode as, stwerd. The greater the f eft, the greater wit be the pr. fits in proportion, f..r addition to the b ran does no: increase the fixed expenses. Every additional hour to the average of 1817 will give a profit of about 151. per moi.th." _ . Thee nierienee of the past year confirms, so far, the lICCU. racy of the foregoing obsirvetions. The Bahu sump shaft has been seine 6 fathoms 2 Ice. There is no spot wiener. of any deterioration in the Ida as it g s down. 0 the con tt ary, Capt.

LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN. ----- Yestirdny a special aeneral meeting ef proprietors in the ebove railway company a u held at the Eitetiin hovel fl r the purpo e of tarring into cousideraq in the draft of a bill at resent before Parliament, tarp rwering the London and North Western, and Yorkshire and Linceedre Railway Companies to become joint proprietors on lease of the Prest.n end Wire Ralway , Harbour and Decks, G. C. GLTPf, , M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY haying read the requisition convening the meeting— The CHAIRMAN snid he was in limes that the present within of Parliament might have pao.cd over without any occurrence whivn we-mist imrese ou the direct ors of the London and North Western Company the duty of calling trey proprie nra together, to obtain their smetion to one bal connected with the engagements of the company, hut their excellent friends, and he was hal py to ca . ,' allies, of the Yorkshire and Ltneashiro lice of railway had 'hotted it emiedhnt to Deng before parliament in the preictt sission a bill empowering them, in conjunction with the London and Nvrth W. stern Com pany, to become pro;rietcrs on perpetual lose of the Preston and Were Railway, and it tes'ed terh that meeting to tiff nify their assent to the agreement which had beta entered into. They were aware that the Preston one Were Railway, with its branches to Blackpool and Lytham, was a lane in connixnn wi h their rosin line, crinmeucMg ac Pres Pin and eyeing at the new port ul Fleet wood. By the bill to which he was to ask their went, the Pre ton and Wyre line, with the harbour and quays of Fleetwood, was to b • leased in perpetuity to the 1 ork shire and Lancashire and the Loio!on and North Western Companies, the proportion of the rent payable be each bring twovibirds .or the former, and one.third ter the laver. The capital on which guarantees h ben deco was about 6.56,0001., and the rent guarantied wt is 53,4401. per annum, and ref that amount the proportion Jur which the London d North Wegern was to beeline liable was the sum of 17,8131. Pendell, they w. re aware, was the snuthein ter minus of that line, and el gentlemen connected with the north of England k new that in that immediate locality there was a nuniocr ut converging railaa3e which bad ltd to much competition, and which, if carried to any greater *vent, might have the tilt et of a dieturhing their traffic. Taking these circumstances into coasideratio ,n ! the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company felt it to be impera'ive on thins, in order to guard the interests of their ah holders, to take steps by which the property of the Preston and Wyre line should centre in tLem and the Lon don and North W. stern ; but he should nut be discharging his duty prop ey if tie did net at the same time ni.,ke the proprietors accrue toed with the fact that the receipts of the Preston and Wyte Ike did not at grew et fully and properly meet the rent, tor the payment of which they had entered into engagements. (11. ar, hear.) In c ncles'un he had only to reeitticii, that the.agreement had recc ived the general Banc ion e f the Lancashire and Yorkshire proton tors. and he trusted th .t it would be received with similar approbation by the present meeting.
