To accomplish such arreogement. the directors have cowed a bill to be prepared and presented to parliament, whisk they sow submit for the maiden of the shareholders. Another bill will also be subedited to ratify the sale made of the Sheffield Cowl to the River Dan Company. Both bills have passed their earlier stages it' parliament. The raw assessed upon the railway for the relief of the poor, ' and other load purposes, have been found extremely burdensome notwithetandiag the pains taken to reduce them within moderate bounds. This sub ject is now engsgurg the attention of the proprietors of railways, with - the hope to obtain from parliament some reasonable modification of the law in the present session, and the directors reesuend a 00-operation with them on the part of this company.

In respect of these debentures, there became ',payable on the 31st December last, 21,6001 , there will be due in the nuns of the present year 55,2001. . • to Igo, 21,0001 and the remainder will be due at warbasse p er i o d, ending la Calabar 1864. " For a portion of the debt now due actina have been commenced, and an pending against the company. The directors have in vain endeavoured to enter into sathfse.ory arrangements for a renewal of these bonds. They bare no MOMS of judging whether any more successful result may attend their attempts to reissue the bonds due in the wane of the present year and afterwards; and it is quite clear that the company cannot swage in continued legal struggles with specialty creditors. It is, therefore, the °puff= of your di. rectors that it will be • prudent entree, and indeed that it is essential, to nuke provision for thtsa debts, and there is only one motto by which rich provision can be effected, namely, by capitalising the debt in pursuance of the company's powers. The director, recommend the entire isstead of the partial conversion of the loan debt into share capital, because sash 0011Tellsinn will prevent any future creation of stock with a priority attached to it. " The fact of the existence of share capital applicable to loans, and to be resorted to, if need be, for their repay ment, will, to the opinion of the directors, materially mist the credit of the eampny, and enable theta the more readily, and on more equitable terms, to obtain a renewal of loans. Of count, the beard will take can to call up in respect of the new capital to meet loans, such amount only as may be absolutely required, and they will prefer the re tention of the money on security of the company's bonds, to the repayment of it out of capital, provided arrangements can be made for such retention, for a fixed and lengthened period. The total capital therefore to be now created, if the views dram directors meet your concurrence, II in lieu of loans 294,0001., and to pay off debts 80,7281. 10a.; mak ing a total of 376,6261. 10s. To obviate doubt as to that portion of Ins plan which re. late. to the issue of the 80,7261. 10s., the sanction of the legislature will be desirable, and at you have a bill before parliament in the present session, measures may be immedi atsly taken to secure that senetioa. The capitalising of the loasas has been explained, is within the company ' s powers. " The bill to which allusion bad been made, as being now before parliament, relates to the portion of the Ely and Hantbigdon Use which connects lily with Bt. Ives. The object of the bill is to obtain an extended time for the pur chase of land, and the construction of the railway between these points ; and to authorise an arrangement by which the line may be made by and at the cost of other parties, and sub sequently lased to this company. This bill will be sab minArllednex to yen at a special minting to be held probably in The accounts showed the expenditure to have been 1,247,4481. 8.. ed., and the cash at the banker's woe 9761. lie. 541. The receipts for the half year were 18,9681. 71. Hid., leaving, after the expenditure, a balance , in fame of the company of 7,1841. 135. 84d. The CHAIRMAN moved that the report and the Mate aunt et accounts be received.

Alderman QUIDS,, Mr. Lawson, and others took part, daring which several propositions were made and rejected, as to the mode of obtaining the addi• decal capitaL It wee, after much &Attesting discussion, carried by a law majority that it was expedient to raise at one/ the new capital mentiesed in the report ; and soother resslutioa was also passed by a large majority, that it be raised at and after the rate of 7 per Nat. per annum in perpetuity, and that the shares be offered to the holders of original aad preferential shares, at the rate of 1 new share for every two of each shares. . . . The committee advised by the directors to be appointed by the shareholders for going into the affairs end peospeeb at the company, wu, after some discussion, nags by ea amendment moved by Mr. Boyd, and wooded by Mr. Pare, the substance of which was, that it would, if serried, appear like a want of °waft lance in the directors on the part of the shareholders, and was therefore not neoessary. The vacancies caused by the retirement of Mr. lAney, M.P., Bir Hoary Calder, Bart, and Mr. Foster Reynolds, were not filled up at the meeting. Mr. Renwick was air pointed an auditor, in the play of Mr. Tinkles, who re tired. The report was than adopted. that period, nor any upon the original shares byond what was due up to the 31st December last ; and that for the future the holders of been classes of shares rely for their benefits on the revenue derived front traffic. A special meeting will shortly be called for the purpose of submitting to the share holders for their approval a now before parliament, exa seining the isseemery provisions for enabling the company to guarantee a preferential 6 per cent, on the capital called up on the extension shares of 1848, in order that the requisite apical may be raised for carrying out a portion of those nn dertakitags ; sad further giving powers to raise additional capital for the eseglatioa of the undertakings of this caw pea p rz ion serally. The account of expenses incurred in the a • made to parliament in 1846/ having now bean ea r Geed, and it having been ascertained that a Wanee remains to the credit of those shares which were not exchanged for the renewed scrip on the re-execution of the deeds in 1847 8, a further suns of 2s. 31. per share will fall to be returned on the preferential scrip (blue), 1848, which will be paid forth with, making a total return of 21. 12a. ld. per share."

Mr. RAY, of Huddersfield, seconded the motion, and it was adopted. The usual resolution was adopted, authorhieg the direc tor* to take such steps as they may deem necessary to pro mote er protect the interests of the company, by treating with other companies for amalgamation or otherwise, and by opposing the program of undertakings or bills that they may consider Winded to the interest of the company.

Perth, Feb. 27. BRUM, Esq., in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, which was in manu script. It set out by stating that the directors had to lay be foes the shareholders the state of the company's affairs for the first half-year since the line was completed. It then re f reed to the position of the line with the southern companies and the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and stated that owing to the compromise which had been entered into between thesebarties, a bill had been pre need and submitted to srliament this session for the lime; but owing to some differences that subs' leasing arose between these companies, the directors bad to mention, with regret, that the bill had been withdrawn. They were glad, however, to state that a working contract had been entered into with the three southern companies, for a period of 25 years tram January, 1849 ; and for this purpose the works and plant had now been handed over by the directors to these companies. By this agreement the shareholders would receive half-yearly a sum of 35,7001. before the other companies could obtain the repayment of the working expenses. The shareholders lewd derive great benefit from this °Potreo, al - hough they might not obtain a fixed and uniform dividend, which could only be mewed by an act of parliament. The shareholders, however, were secured in everything which a working contract could accomplish. The receipts, since the hoe was opened, justified the (Erecters in proposing a 7 per cont. dividend for the five months, to be payable en the 15th of next month. To make this dividend the whole receipts were reqaired since the opening of the line. The revenue, since that time, had amounted to 34,4741. This sum was perhaps small ; but it was as much as could be reasonably expected in the present incomplete slate of the line. The direetars anticipated a great additional traffic when the line was finished, more ea peoially by the opening of the Allot Branch. The report concluded by stating that the arrears were ; that it was proposed to capitalise the paid-up rock ; and that the directors had to mention with regret that the Kerquis of Breadalbanis had intimated his intention to retire from the board of direction. 114;;Ig discos ion ensued, but the report was eventually adopted. In answer to a question, it was mentioned that it would require 35,0001. to complete the entire works on the line. Notions were submttted and adop'ed, to capitalise the paid-up stock of the company ;to forfeit certain shares on which the call, were in arrear ; and to appoint directors in the room of those who retired. The subject of Sabbath travelling was then discussed with much warmth. A division having taken place, there was a majority of 1,980 votes in favour of Sunday trains. CALEDONIAN. Aelicsurrwd Meeting.—Edinburgh, Feb. 27.—This meet ing was for the purpose of receiving the report of the weruti neere_appointed at the half-yearly meeting on the previous day ;Monday), as to the state of the vote on the motion sub mitted by the chairman, and the arcendment proposed by Mr. Fawcett. The chairman's motion wee that the report of the &rotten be approved of, with t'ie exception of that part of It wfdda related to the contract with the Scottish Central Cowpony, which was deleted from the report on so count of the eppeehiss offered by Sir Andrew Agnew and others ; sat es its *Weskit would not affect the validity of the contrast is the slightest degree, Mr. Fawcett's amend ment was, a That the dividend of 3 pit' cent. recommended in the report be declared; that the statement in the report, and the capital &potent of the alleged expenditure out of the funds of the company of 381,2271. I% 9d. in the purchase if shares in subsidiary lines, in contravention of the acts of parliament, is un satisfactory to the meeting, and that the meeting refuse to ad ,p• the said shares and expenditure ; that the statement in the report of the existents of a working contract with the Scottish Central Line is also unsatisfactory, and that the meeting refuse to adopt it as respects this company ; and that a committee of shareholders be appointed to investigate into and report on the financial position of the company, to whom the report and statement of accounts be referred, and that the meeting stand adjourned till the 2nd April, t , meet at London.

SOUTH WALES. Eighth Holt yearly Meefissg.—Lesidon, Feb. 28.—Case. Ruessu., E.g., in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, which stated : " The directors have been steadily occupied in giving effect to the determination adopted at the August meeting to with the construction of the South Wales Railway, gr u :roe i riesive portions, beginning in the tint instance with the section which lies between Newport and Swine's, so that that part of the line may be brought into operation at the earliest practicable period. The directors have concus totted, for the present, ell their exertions and resources on the works between Newport and Swansea ; and though the presume of the times has prevented their prosecuting them with all the rapidity that could be desired, not only considerable progress has been made In all the lisafer works, but that various detached portions, amounting in the whole to about twenty miles, out of the entire distance of sixty miles, are reedy for the reception of the permanent we' and the rails, the laying of which will be commenced without delay. ' Blintaltansonaly with these operations, the works on this side of Newport are proceeding satisfactorily. The directors had forfeiter those 'stares on which the Red and 3rd instalmenta have not been paid. Their number is 1,261, and the amount which has been received on them is 4,1374 10a. The directors propose that those shares should not be rsissaed until the improvement in the money market shall be to confirmed that they may either submit some go. nerd scheme for re-elloting them among the shareholders at an advantage to them, or that they may be then gradually absorbed, so as not to produce any sundble effect on the value of your property. Tke forfeiture (tithes, shares does not involve the consequent abandonment of the claim which the company passages over the proprietors to whom they belonged, foe the calls previously in urea,. On the con. nary, it is the feed purpose of the directory to proceed to the recovery of these sums in every cans which affords prospect of meow. Their duty to those proprietors who have paid with regalarity preseribes the adoption of active measures against those who may be in swear on more recent calls.

SECRETARY read the report of the directors, which stated that the directors bad taken means to dissolve the company, end a deed was prepared for that purpose. The CHAIRMAN thought the proprietary were pursuing a wise course in dissolving the company, though it was sot strictly legal. If this were not pursued, the company would he drawn into Imes by the small litigious proprietors. Mr. Thomas Holmes was re-sleeted a director, and Mr. W. Anderson Rose and Matthew li. Shellacs were elected to fill up the other vacancies at the beard. The report was adopted. Mr. WHALE moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and direvors.

THAMES HAVEN AND Doc[.—The meeting of this com pany, aivertised to be held yesterday, was postponed in con sequence of the non attendance of a sufficient nun.ber of proprietors to form one. MONEY MARKET. WEDNESDAY Evaxiso, The events of the day, such as the entry of the Russians into Transylvania, and the nearer prospect of war on the continent, had some effect on the funds to-day, added to the other fact, more important still in the market, of this being an account in which the speculatore for the rise have so much overbought themselves. Apparently, the speculators have taken fright to day upon seeing the downward tendency of Consols for days past, reinforced by the adverse appearance of foreign affairs to day. Sales for money and account were therefore numerous, for the public and capitalists were sellers as well as dealers. In result Consols fell to and left off at 911 for money, and 911 to for account. It was noted, however, that after the regular business hews Consols were done as low as 91/. Reduced Threes were 911 to 4. Three and-a-Quarter per Cents., 921 to /. Bank Stock, 194 to 6. Long Annuities, 8 15-16 to 9. Jane Exchequer Bills, 37e. to 40s. premium. India Bonds, I 665. to 58e. prem. South Sea Stock obtained 1001. This was settling day in the foreign market, and the traniactione were confined nearly to theadjust ment of accounts, with prices in decline. Mexican left off 26 to 1. Peruvian, 48 to 50. Venezuela, 25 to 7. It may be observed that the late rise in this stock has excited some attention, and it its remarked that the people connected with Venezuela are exactly the same parties inculpated in the late Peruvian swindle. The Spanish-American committee should attend to the fact, and clear themselves from suspicion of any connivance. In the meantime, it may be observed, as the suspicion of some villainy, that the parties connected with the loans for that country, and who by those loans were themselves raised from obscurity into consequence, were also by public report committed in the Peruvian affairs. Mexican fell to 26 to 1; but sellers really at 26. Brazilian, 81 to 3. Chian, 94 to 7. Cuba bonds were done at 88. Danish scrip declined to 61 to 7 premium, without buyer.. The scrip is without standing in the market, and the transactions on it merely nominal, that is, brokers came in to buy, and other brokers to sell, employed by the acme par ties, contracting, more probably, in the manner of the late Mr. Rothschild in each matters. Spanish Fives were 16/ to 17/ ; the Threes, 284 to 91. Passive, 34 to 4. Portuguese, 25 to 6. Russian were lower at 107 to 9. Danish, 65 to 8.

A prospectus has been sent to us of an emigration company, aboat which no opinion need be offered beyond the fact that the company is headed by per sons of the greatest respectability.

The report read was anneuelly elaborate ; itsaid, inleralin, "That since their last annual meeting a moat extraordinary and eventful year had occurred : the effects of the great shock of 1847 continued to be seen in the decline of prices; and, by a ne cessary consequence, the stringent measures adopted here, in due time injuriously affected other countriee. This,, by pro ducing fear and distrust at home and fluctuations abroad, by making merchants and manufacturers suspicious of their position, and uncertain whether thty could move at all with a prospect of advantage, or even with safety, trade hat declined, declined, and, as might have been expected, the revenue diminished with frightful rapidity. All this was bad enough ; but on the continent of Europe, supplementary to the consequences of deficient harvests, in which calamity they participated with us, and to the indirect effects of our money laws, came metal and political con vulsions, which shook many countries to their founda tions, overthrew credit, arrested the progress of trade, and gave an effectual check both to production and demand. And, to a greater or lees extent, this state of thine* has continued during the last twelve months, retard ing that revival which is of so much consequence to all classes and interests, bat of which there are at length happily some indications. But besides these unfavourable circumstances, the seed which has been en recklessly sown in the delirium of railway speculation came to a fell and diseslous maturity last year. Demands were made till they could no longer be met; and nearly all the payments of calls last year (end many of them were made by submitting to groat sacrifices) seemed to be swallowed up and utterly lost in the insatiable gulL Finally, panic seised the public mind ; and all parties were at length fain to agree to a truce, and wait, as they best might, the return of beter times, which necessitated the abandonment of many recent nedertakings, and the post ponement of others. Such were some of the NUM which operated unfavourably on the trade of the country, and which, with the low prices of all our staple articles, consequently diminished the returns of all dealers in money, and affected to some extent their profits." The report farther announced that the old banking con cern of Messrs. 8. Forster and See, at Walsall, had been merged in this concern, and the statement of account showed that after ditcharging all the current expenses, and making an ample r.serve for bad and doubtful debts, the net profits of the year 1848 are 84,6601. 161. 4d., which sum, with the surplus of 1,2721. 16s. 3d., brought over from 1847, makes a tit& of 35,9331. lls. 71. On the Ist of September, the sum of 15,0001., was charged to this account and apps priated to the payment of a half-yearly divideud of 10s. per share, or at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of ss. per share, both without deduction of income-tax ; and the directors recommended the proprietors to make a similar appropriation at this meeting. The report was adopted, and a dividend declared, as recommended, and the sum of 6,0001. was carried over to the guarantee fund as recommended, making this 65,0001. PUBLIC HALES. Fan. 27.—8 y Messrs.
