The Lord Chancellor moved the judgment of the house in this ease, which was an appeal from a decree of the present Lord Chancellor of Inland, and was argued here on the llith, 15th, and 19th inst. The only question was, whether a marriage which unquestionably took plies between the per. ate of the appellants, in the year 1815, In the Isle of Han was a valid minim. The material facts of the case, together with outlines of the arguments, were contained in our former reports. His lordship, after stating the main prints of the ease, said the role applicable to the question was nowhere laid down so clearly as it wee by Lord Lynd hurst is the cased " Monis e. Davies " (as we understood) In which he said that the " presumption in favour of the validity of a marriage is rot to be repelled on a mire balance of probabilities ; the circumstances to repel it must be strong, distinct,, satisfactory, and cone usive." Applying that rade to the facts of this case, his lordship thought there could mot be any doubt that the marriage must be held valid. The resumption of its validity ought not to be considered ss being at all affected by the fact of a subsequent marriage being performed between Sir John sad Lady Piers, in Dahlia. It I. common for persons, though validly married In a foreign country, to have the ceremony again performed on their return to this country. 8o it might have bran with Bir John Piers and his wife returning from the Isle of Man to Ireland, the place of their former and their future residence. He, upon them end other grounds sts'ed by him, moved that the decree be reversed, and that the cause be remitted far the purpose of having the sum of 4,0001. charged on the respondents . estate in favour of the appellants declared valid, and that sum raised out of the estates. Lord Brougham delivered kis opinion much to the same east as the Lord Chancellor's. Lord Campbell also canvassed his concurrence, and stated that Lord and Lady Eldou went twice through the care morayarriasa of sr necessarily, no doubt—bat for the greater cantles, w ere first married lawfully in an epis eoped th atch in . and a second time in the presence of the lady's faiker, in the pariah chunk of Newcastle. lisp decree wee them reversed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—Lawas, Ilmicz 21. Om Sea.—Berm Kr.Justise Wtabtataa aad a Special Jury. THE HORSHAM ELECTION. —ACTION YOB BRIBERY. 11. JAMBS. action SF 7 This was an ac to recover pen tass rom the defendant, Mr. Edwin James, the barrister, for having bribed certain voters at the Horsham election in 1847, when it will be re membered, Mr. Jerrie , the son of the AttOrney. General, was elected, but afterwards unseated upon petition. The edam against Mr. James, as well as two against the Attor ney-General of a similar character, stood for trial at the summer anises last year, bulthe record was withdrawn by the plaintiff, sad the causes were now brought down by the defendants, by proviso, in order that they might be die poled of. Mr. Sod. Shoe, Mr. M. Chambers, and Mr. Ogle were for the plaintiff ; Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Gurney, Mr. Clarks no, Mr. Bodkin, sad Mr. Pesock were for the defendant. The Attorney-Osneral was present during the trial, and sat by the side of Sir F. Kelly. Mr. James was also present. The declaration alleged that the Queen harks in July, 1847, issued her writ for the election of a member to serve in parliament for the borough of Horsham, one John Jervis was a candidate, and that before th- e'ection the de. fondant corruptly bribed certain voters, to induce them to vote for the said John Jervis, and did thereby under the statute render blare'? liable to the payment of certain penalties, which the plaintiff now sought to recover. There were 32 mots in the declaration, alleging 16 distinct acts of bribery against the defendant, who pleaded generally not guilty. Kr. Serjrant Shoe addressed the jury, and said that the plaintiff by this action sought to recover the amount of cer tain penalties which he alleged had been incurred by the de fendant by his committing various acts of bribery at the election for the borough or Horsham in 1847. The learned serjeant then referred to the statute under which the action had been framed , and explained the nature of the charges which the defendant had incurred. The learned serjeant then proceeded mere particularly to detail** nature of the evidence that he should produce in support of the action, sod wit news were then called to prove the different allegations. The introductory matter with re?ard to the issuing of the writ, and that Mr. Jervis, jun., was a candidate to represent the borough, having been admitted, evidence we then ad duced to support the charges of bribery. William Soper said—At the time of the election for the , borough of Horsham, in 1847, I was a waiter at the Anchor Ho:el. That house was need by Mr. Jersi,', party during the election, and before it took place. I remember the de fendant being at the hotel in May or abut that rime. He used generally to come down to Honham on Saturday, and I have seen him at the Anchor with gentlemen named Brcadwood, Kedwin, Captain Thomas, Mr. Noy (a soli citor), Mr. Drew Honeywood, and Captain Patrick.

I did not see Mr. James preside at any of the dinners. I know the Queen's Head public. house at Horsham. It fa kept by Mr. Blackeston. There was an entertainment given there in the month of May. A great deal of grog was made on the occasion. (A laugh.) Mr. Thomas Lee examined by Went Shee—l reaide at and am a voter for the borough of Horsham. I was so in 1847. I remember before the election is that year seeing Mr. James at the Anchor. I was reading the newspaper when he celled me out into the yard, and asked me if I knew a person named Thomas Deady. I told him I did, and he asked me his character, sayin ghe wished to know something about him, as he had applied to the Seliciter-General to purchase hisproperty and his vete, or he would sell the vote by itself. (A leash.) Mr. James also said that Deady bad given the price of each separately. I told kine that if he allowed any candidate to be imposed upon by each a person as Doody I should vote spinet such a candidata ; and Mr. 'menthes said he would not buy him. Oa the nomination day I law Mr. James again, and he then asked me if I would vote for Mr. Jervis, sad I said I would not. He then said the woe was getting desperate, and unless I would vote for Jervis he should be compelled to eater into some arrangement with Deady ; and he inquired if I would vote for Jervis if he bad nothing to do with Deady ; and I refused, saying I should adhere tothe promise I had already give..

DISCOVIIRT OF STOLIJI JEWELLEIT.—Otte readers will remember (says the °lawny Herald) that, in the noseth of May last, information was given to the police that the shop of Mr. Duncan, watchmaker and jeweller, in the Arcade, had bon broken into, and taken away to the amount of 6001. or 7001., consisting of golld and silver watches, gold and silver pencil oases, gold rime, brooch's, gad, indeed, jewellery of every deseriptioo. Datil Saturday last no trees of either thieves or property could be dieeovered; sad, indeed, not a few were a* uncharitable as to doubt that Mr. Duncan had been es bhed ae all. On the da l named, however, a gentleman applied at Mr. Duncan shop, in the Arcade, for a breguot chain for a silver watch he had jut parchmed. Mr. Duncan, on lookirg at the wank at ones discovered that it was one of these stolen when kis premises had been plundered by wholesale, ten months before. The pestles= readily stated that he had purebred the watch from a watchmaker in Brunswick. street ; sad en Mr. George M'Kay , the chief of the detective department, applyieg to this pesos, he stated that the watch had been sold to him by Mr. Grey, goldbeater, Doa ble-street. Mr. Dl'Hay then smoldered it his duty to wait span Mr. Gray, when it was ascertained ti at he had par chased twenty watches from a parson unknown to him; hat that the transaction had taken plies in a public izes,* in Dalmarneek.rmid. Following up the clue tits obtained, the came of the seller was found to ice Alec ender Stewart, blacksmith and bell-hanger, residing in Lag wen's, who had, in this public-house, transferred the watches from a basket to Mr. Gray'. paragon. Of course Mr. M•Hey took measures to find this man, and in the course of the iley he was apprehendea, along with his wile, in a pahlk-haum is the neighbourhood. The result is that • great pectins ist the property stolen from Mr. Dancan's shop was reessestad. In the meantime the parties above ✓imed and ethos ere in custody.

Ws suspect that the Mal*tenant will require that all watchmaker' and Jewel stald be placed under the regulation applicable to broken, viz., that they should keep folks containing all their purchases and sales, which books should be s p n to the polies at all times. No honest trade man could have any objectless to such a repetition ; and in the case of the dishcaest it is absolutely requisite.. We have only ti add that, within the last fill weeks, the police discovered more than 160 welshes in as premises of a dealer who had never been suspected—nearly all of which had been _stolen at various iliac and laSlrious places, and almost all of which had beta altered in data', nausea, and al PROVINCIAL. THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS NOW AWAITING EXIMITION.—The fate of the criminals now under acetones of death In various parts of the country is exciting much at tention, sad many efforts are being made by the opt orients of capital punishment to obtain reprieves for the offenders A, memorial to the Home Secretary to spare the life of the murderer Pullev, condemned at Worcester, was tnnunitted to G. Riessio, Seq., for pesentation to the Rome Secretary. The 111411110161 was amonspanied by certain ss mann for entertaining doubts as to the sanity of the convict," which Melanin% was to the effect that an individual at Peristalses bad beard of a man of the same name as the prisoner going &beet in a crazy state ; that the prisoner bad lived for months in a hole is Teddealey Wood; that he had ones horned his apparel and tic working tools; that he was heard to utter threats against many persons; and that the deceased husband of an old woman sow living in the Blockhouse, and who was related to the murderer's family, was insane at the time of his death. We do not know on what proof these assertions rest, or of what stelae they would be if proven. In reply to the memorial, Mr. Mardis addressed a letter to the M ayor of Worcester, atatirg that the petition had been forwarded on Saturday lest to Sir G. Grey, who bad pro. Weed to communicate with Mr. Justice Coltman (the judge at PatUay's trial), and to acquaint him with the result. A letter bas also been sent by the prisoner's brother to R . Temple, Esq., of Hempeey, respecting the alleged insanity of Pulley. This letter was forwarded to the Jodie, who gave instructions that it should be sent to the Home Secretary, which has been done. The day of execution Du been fixed for Monday meet, and Is to take place on the roof of the gaol, betweu the gateway towers , unless a reprieve is granted. In the ease of the murderer, John Smith, convicted InWiltshire, a petition for mercy has beets got up at Fisherton, which has received the signatures of many respectable tradesmen and others. A family residing at Ninon, near Salisbury, be. lieu that the prisoner belongs to them, an he answers the name, age, and description of their John Smith, who shortly after he was of age left home and has not since been heard ot. The prisoner obstinately refuses to explain where he came from. In eoesequence of a report coming to the ears of the high sheriff, that the prisoner a 'hart time before the murder was employed wheeling coals (rein the login' train at the Swindon Station of the Great Western Railway, and that while there engaged he was generally considered to be of weak intellect, police-constable No. 4, William Saunders, in the employ of es, Great I Western Company, arrived at Salisbury by the Swindon mail this day, and proceeded to the county gaol to identify the prisoner, where he was met by the higlisheriff and under sheriff (a• believe), and also by the rh plain. This constable instantly recognised him to be the same man. The prisoner said he did not know the coostable, but in reply as to particulars about the localities of Old and New Swindon, his replies at once convinced the authorities that the constable was right. Superintendent Hill, of the Great Western Company, being on a trial at Salisbury, first thought that the prisoner was the same on his seeing him at the bar. The high sheriff has communicated this to the Secretary of State for the llomellepartment. COMMISSION BY THE Loan rIECTENANT.—H. E. F. Lambert, En., to be D. putt Lieutenant.

Examination matased : I went to Mr. James's chambers in London, sad a person I saw there gave me 281. upon my giving ab ll SOS the amount. I never said anything to Mr. James personally upon the subject of my amount. Cues-egansinetel—l was in diMealties about four months after the electiva, and I applied to Mr. Medwin and Mr. Jams for &mistimes, and they lint me some money upon my giving a bill, but this proceeding had nothing whatever to do with the election. I never promised my vote to Mr. James for say consideration whatever, and lad no com munication whatever with him SIP far as regarded my vot When I became a bankrupt I was induced to make out my amount to Mr. James, but I bad no authority from him to do io, and the account was afterwards toads out to another permit. lam not swam that an action has been brought against Mr. James, on account of my claim, and abandoned. George Elphicit deposed that he was a conveyancer, and resided at Horsham. He was tenant to Mr. Patrick, and in May, 1847, he was in arrears for rent. He was canvassed by Mr. Medwin foe Mr. Jervis, and promised him his vote. About a fortnight before the el ection he west to Mr. Jervis's committee-roere, and low several gentlemen there, and a short time afterwards he I , ft Horsham ' acoompauied by Mr. Martin, one of the gentlemen he saw in the committee room, and went to London. They met Mr. James near Pall-mall. and he said to him, " Oh, Elphick, have you come to town," and witness replied that he was so excited sad so Nick of the election that he was glad I. get away from Horsham. Mr. James then took them to the It - farm Club-house, and Mr. Martin and Mr. James went iota a private room, and soon afterwards witness was called on, and be invited of Mr. James how long he might be detained in London. He replied that he could not say how brig it would be before the election would take place, and witness then said he had come away on a sucden, and said he did' net like to send home for clothes, and he asked for 61. or 61. Mr. James agreed to let his have that =aunt, and Mr. James said they had better have an under standing about it, and witness had better give Mr. Martin an I 0 U for the amount, and he did so, and 61. were given to his. Witness then went with Mr. Martin to Mr. Cop pock's chambers in St. James's, and • clerk who was there opened a letter that had been written by Mr. James, and another that had been written by Ca pt. Thomas at Marsilius, and a person Duped John was then called, and he accompanied him into the City, where he ordered a suit of clothes, and they were afterwards brought to him by the person who was called John. Witness was in Landon eight dabs, and daring that time he did not pay for anything he had. He met Mr. Drew Hew y wood in London, and he accompanied him and Robert Pa:soap, another voter, his wife, and his father-in-law back to Horsham ; and on the following morning he voted for Mr. Jamie. After be had given his vote he saw Mr. James, who asked him if be had voted, aid when he told him he had, he aid " Now I will do what I can ter you." The same morning Mr James mid " Well, }Uptick, I saw yon at the Italian Opera the other night in Mr. Jervis's box ;• that was a very pretty little French girl you had with you. (A laugh.) Serjeant Shea—l suppose this was only a joke, and yen defended your reputat ion . (Renewed laughter.) By Sir F. Kelly.—Mr. James had nothing to do with obtaining my vote. It was known all along that I intended to vote for Mr. Jervis. He did not see anything of Mr. James until he went to London. Mr. Nuy, a solicitor at Horsham, deposed that in May, 1847, he received a letter from Mr. James, and he in con sequence saw that gentleman on the 23rd May, at hie resi dence at Horsham. He did rot receive any money from him upon that occasion; but about three weeks afterwards Mr. Junes gave him 301., and subsequently 201. more, and ether sums. Ile received this money u his retaining fee to act as an agent for Mr. Jervis at the Horsham election, and he did act in that capacity. Witness act. d under big own discretion, bat occasionally he saw Mr. James, your. Mr. Medwin, and Mr. Jervis. The Attorney-General arrived -. t Honks"' on the 29th May, and several gentlemon dined with him and his son on that day, at the Crown Inn, Horsham. _ - - - - Henry Beek, an organist at Horsham, deposed that he was cooled as secretary to Mr. Jervis's committee a short time before the election. He was appointed by Mr. James, and wat to receive two pounds per week for bis services. Sometimes he was paid by Mr. Medwin, and at others by Mr. Honeywood. He entered in a book the names if the persons who came to the committee. That book was taken to London by him, and he lost it there. On the Monday in the election week the committee was removed from the Crown to the Anchor, and be believed there were two com mittee rooms sngaged, one in which any person could go in, and Bawler up stain, in a room which was a bed-room. He did not see Mr. James more particularly occupying this room than any other person. Believed that on the night of the nomination be went into this little room, but be did not see any money there. Did not see any bags of money in that room or any other. Did not me any sovereigns or notes. He believed there were a dozen round frocks in the house. They were for the " white boys." Did not know what the " white boys" were for, except to protect the figs in the processions. Never heard any directions that a round frock should be given to a man named Leach. Witness knew a voter aamed Henley, but never beard Mr. James say any thing about him. Witness was never consulted by Mr. James about any of the voters, but he took several voters into the committee room. By Sir F. Kelly—Witness is an inhabitant of Horsham, and a voter for the borough. He was in London to be examined before the parliamentary committee upon the suhj. ct of this election, the result of which war a fresh election, when Lord Edward Howard and Mr. Fitzgerald were candidates, and the latter was returned by a large ma jority. Upon that occasion Lord E. Howard, amm.eistely atter the election gay, notice of his intention to petition against the return. This election took place on the 29th January. Sir F. Kelly begged to call the attention of his lordship to the fact that it appeared by the record the prevent action wee commenced on the very day following. Serjeant Saes said he really could not see what this had to do with the case. Sir F. Hvlly said he apprehended it would appear to be a very important ingredient in the present inquiry. Robert Forman deposed that he was engaged as a watcher or looker•out for Mr. Jamie's committee, and he was about oitht and day. He saw Mr. James "lota of times." Never heard Mr. James say anything about money or about win. ning the election, but he heard him say at some of the pub lic meetings that if any elector lost anything by supporting Mr. Jervis he would see him righted. Ile remembered a man named Dendy coming up to vote, but he did not see who brought him up, and he did not see Mr. James bring up any of the voters. John Sltrave deposed that he was a baker at Horsham. Oa the night of the nomination, Binjamin Bleach came to him and they had some conversation together. Serjeant Shea : Did he after this conversation come to you and produce a paper ? Sir F. Kelly objected to an answer being given to this question, unless some evidence was given that would connect Mr. James with the transaction. _ _ Sajeent She, oontenTba that the evidence of the led witness, which went to show that Bleach wu sent for in the presence of Mr. James and the other gentlemen forming the emaratttee, reflidently manectsd him with the %remotion to render the @aliases admissible. Mr. Judas Rights ma, after muse argument, ruled that the @videos at that Nip ought not to be received. Mr. Patrick was thacezas;lned. He held an ofiloe in the county court at Greenekb. He was frequently at Horsham, and he was sometimes joralarly called Captain Patrick. He had served in the Canadian =Okla. On the nomination day he :sluiced up the wide might. He remembered seeing Bleach that night, mad gave him susething. Sir F. Kelly again eldetied that what wu dope by this gentleman was no 'sidemen spied Kr. Jams, who was not shown to have been puss{ sr to have taken any abate in the transaction. Serjeard Shea said thoeo natters were always the remit GO contrivance, and were arranged in secre, and unless some Wand* wee attired. it would be Impossible to make out the ease. Mr. Judie Makings add that the ore arm be roe. dusted like all ether the well understood rules of sunsets ; and earn the t was shown either to have Nen present or to have semelined the proceeding, it ought not to be admitted ea erbium the defendant.

NORTH WALES CIRCUIT. —C N, Maaca 21 Before Mr. Justice Creswell. THE BILITANNIL BILIDOM MURDER. John Priici;r7l;;;;Oli;rgid;iii the willul murder of John Rowlands at the Britannia-bridge on the night of the 29 hof July lest. The prisoner pleaded not guile. The deostmed and the prisoner were watchmen employed on the plalorni, on which the large tubes intended for the stupendous tubular bridge over the Menai Straits are being constrneted, to watch the storehouses and the vast quantities of machinery, tools, &c., which necessarily were much e:• posed. Bach had his particular beat, and it was arranged that they should meet every half hour and report whether all was right. Early on the day named the p isoner raised an alarm, stating _that ht and the deceased had been at tacked by a body of men unknown, that he had with difficulty escaped, and that he was afraid harm had come to Rowlands. The police were aroused, and the body of Rowlands was discovered. with the skull fractured in three places, and the brair a protruding through a fearful emit on the side of the head. These injuries appeared to have been done with a blunt weapon. Robbery did not appear to have been the object of the deed, for though a store house containing hides had been entered, and property placed outride the door, yet none had been taken. Messrs. Webby, Townsbend, and Wilkie appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Messrs. Egerton and Beavan. . . . A model aaiersilsray tube and staging on which the murder bad been committed was placed in court to elucidate the evidence. . . . . . William Lewis stated that ab ut halt-past twdye o'clock he wu aroused by the prisoner, who said that a storeahop on the stage had been brsken into, and that he and Row lands, on proceeding thither, were attacked by two men, who came out of a midden, and threatened to kill them ; being alarmed, the prisoner slipped through the midden opening on to the beach, when he waded into the water, and after remaining there some time, he gave the alarm to Lewis. The prisoner's dress wu wet. Assistance being procured. witness and others searched for and found the body of Rwlands on the strand. Other evidence confirmed the above statement. The watchmen en the other stages did not hear the calla for assistance. Mr. Horace, a surgeon, depoeed that a fall from the stage which is two yards high, would not have caused all the frac: tures. The soli bore no traces of footmarks. . . _ , .... Do. clo. .... 's2 14p. 2 Do. New 301 : 31 3 499.. IS li Du mit N Western 6,1 ew ISt. Do. i shore, l7 48 II Ito. I dines. l9l SO II Do.

Thomu Powell, a sailor, stated that be was confined in Carnyvon gaol, and whilst there the prisoner voluntarily confessed that he had a quarrel with Rowlands concerning a young woman, who wed often to go down to the prisoner, and remain with him all night whilst on duty ; that Row lauds had upbraided him, on which ha, Pritchard, charged him with having told his wife of the woman. This was tiesied by Rowland', when the prisoner picked up a piece of iron and stench the deceased, who said, "Don't kill me. John." He repeated the blow, and then threw the dammed from off the stage. The prisoner said that he had filed the key, and that he and the deceased and often to rots the stone. (This key was found on the person of the murdered man.) The witness had been charged with stealing bread, bat he was acquitted on his trial. He varied on croseexamina non considerably, as to the times and nights on which his communications with the prisoner took place. Since his discharge from prison he had been living w ith the police. The surgeon, on being re-examined, decided that, after receiving one of the fractures, the deceased could not have spokes. Mr. Egerton, for the defence, having addressed the jury, the learned judge summed up, and the jury, a ft er a length ened deliberation of two hours, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The foreman added, "We give the benefit of our doubt to the prisoner." Tio: NW • dpi 4pw.dl wsra.A re& raritek f. 11os do 1 06 Do. ithisn; 9d.e.d. Do. Mores 4frd.e.d Do. 'lithe #e.d. Do.

Gibson with intent to murder him. The injured man, who: e head and throat were enveloped in bandages, said: I live in New-court. Nichol-street, Bethnal-green, and the prisoner has for some time occupied a room in the same house. On the evening of the 27th ult. I reached home very much intoxicated, between two and three. On entering the house, I had an altercation with a young man, named Sadler, whom I followed up stairs, but retuned afterwards into the court where the prisoner was standing, and no one else was within sight. The prisoner came close up to me, end, at the same moment, I telt that my throat was cut, and fell senseless to the ground. I bled very much from the wound, and was carried, some time afterwards into the pri soners' room, where I partly recovered; I heard her say, 0, dark Sal has cut his throat." I was placed upon the prisoner's bed, and left for some time alone with her, when she kept on muttering, " Oh, I shall give myself ; I shall never rest on that bed any more. What have I done 1 I have cut his throat." A surgeon was brought who dressed the wounds, and I was taken to the hospital, where I have remained ever since. At the time I received the wound I had no handkerchief on my neck, and my shirt was cut comp'etcly through. I had had a quarrel with the prisoner about ax months ago, but made it up whet her, and we wera very good friends when this occurred. Men Day stated that a short time prior to the occurrence the prisoner commenced a violent attack upon a girl named Sarah Morris, who lodged in the house, but having got wor sted in the souffle she retreated down stairs, declaring that " If she could not get her revenge to one way she would in =other." The prisoner then snatched up a table knife, which she deliberately sharpened upon the poker, and rushed into the yard where she met the prosecutor, and iestantly drew the bias scrota his throat. After inflicting the wound, she hastily wiped the knife upon her @pros, and returning up stairs, flung the weapon into the apartment of the young woman with whom she had been quarreling, at the same time vociferously exclaiming—" Dark Stuly has cut Gibson's throat." The wounded man was in the meantime carried into the prisoner's room, where he was attended by a ear seam, who directed his immediate removal to the hospitaL A polio,. rotatable produced a blood-stained knife which he had found in the prisoner's room, and also a gown and apron, identified u belonging to her, and both of which were also smeared with blood. The prisoner woefully committed far trial. MONEY MARKET. THURSDAY EVENTNO..

METING. 31 33 194 231 61 d. 114 61 4_ Adjourned Half-yeaily4ifieliiuiLLondon, March 22 Lord GitOktOß MANNERS, M.P., in the chair. The direc• tors' lemon %as read. It stated: "The directors regret their continued inability to report to the proprietors that they have succeeded in their endea voun to place the property of the Newmarket Railway upon a settled and de Some looting. The preprietors are already aware of the circumstances under which an agreement was entered into with the direct•ra of the E stern Counties Rail way Company. After considerable discussion of some of its details, the agreement was sealed on behalf of toth com panies on 7th Sept., 1843; the joint committee provided by it was appointed, and held several meetings. Your Win- C.rs were, however, subsequently informed by the directors of the Eastern Co .nties Company, that in their opinior, it was not expedient to bring the agreement before their pro prietors at that time, but that pending its confirmation, they expressed their determination to give to all its provisions sub stantial effect; in consequence of which, and in deference to the strongly-e x reseed wish of the proprietors, and with the concurrence of the committee appointed by the shareholders, your dire von handed over the line to the Eastern Counties Manny Company, who appointed their own staff, and on the 2nd Oct. last, assumed the entire control of the traffic. The result of this measure, the directors regret to state, has not been satisfactory, for, although by an account of the working for three months, from 2nd Oct. to 4th Jan., recently fur nished by the Eastern Counties company, • net profit of 7011. is shown, the directors are bound to state that on the one hand the working charges are excessive, whilst on the other the receipts have haroly exceeded the earnings of the line at its s peeing for general traffic, when the undertaking laboured under the vent d disadvantages of incomplete ar rangements, separate management, and undeveloped traffic. As regards the working charges, however, satisfactory means of adjusting disputes are already provided. The pr .prietors cannot fail to remark that a reduction of these charges to the amount which experience has shewn to be a fair rate of re nnin( ration for the working of • line similarly circumstanced, together with such • comparatively null addition to the groin receipts as they bad hoped to realise from a cordial and efficient working of the traffic in connexion with the trunk line, might, ere this, have pined the property in a very dif ferent position. In partial fulfilment of the agreement, the directors of the Ealc ern Counties Railway Company advanced to this company a sum of 60,0001., which has subsequently bean reduced to 29,3201. by the sale to them of p:aut. £ventu.lly, however, your directors feeling that a continu ance of this state of suspense must be prejudicial to your in terest', formally required the beard of the Eastern Counties Railway Company to submit the agreement to their proprie tors, to which requc st they received the following reply : " • Eastern Counties Railway, Feb. 27, 1849.—Dear Sir, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this date, and 1 am iestructed to state in reply to it, that the agree ment entered into between the bo ards of this company and the Newmarket Company, in September last, cannot legally be submitted to the shareholders of the Eastern Counties Company at the half.yeerly meeting to bo held to-morrow, but I am to inform you that it will be submitted at the meeting to he shortly held for obtaining the sanction of the noteholders to the bill before parliam rat for the amslgama tion of.this company with the Norfolk Company.—l am, dear sir, yours truly, C. P. RONEY, Sec.—O. W. Brown, 117, Cheapside. " " It is not for your directors to anticipate the result of this promised reference to the Eastern Counties Railway pro prietors, especially considering the recent circumstances which have transpired with regard to that company, and which may have an important bearing upon the entire ques tion of the relations (not of this company alone) with that body ; but they may state their strong persuasion that it is essential that a (eelisg of unanimity and determined co-ope ration should prevail among the proprietors of this company, and that no decisive step should be taken until the result of the investigation into the affairs of the Eastern Counties Railway Company 'hall be known. The directors have very reluctantly announced another call, which they thought it their duty to make, for the purpose of obtaining funds to wet same immed iate liabilities, and to provide for the liqui dation of the loan from the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany, falling due on the Bth Oct. next. The directors take this opportunity of informing the proprietors that the finan cial position of the company is such as to prevent their con tinuing to pay interest on calls oat of capital.
