(Tram the .Vork4eiee Erpress.) - • By the official account published this week it ap pears that during the math ending the 5.h inst. upwards of one million of quarters of groin and pulse, and 109,000 vas. of limn and meal, were imported from foreign countries for home consumption into the 'United Kingdom. Of this large supply more than one-third consisted of whey, the impart of that article alone having amounted tc 363,087 qrs., whilst of wheaten flour 108,71.8 cwts. were entered. The receipts hare not been on so extenaive a scale daring the last two or three weeks; still we have had regular weekly arrivals, and the steam in the hands of merchants, millets, and dealers have gralnally accumulated. No scarcity of foreign gr a i n i s therefore likely to be felt even if the shipments from abroad should for a time he conpantively small. That this may be the toes is more than probable, the late advance here hawing caused holders on the other side to raise their pretensions materialy, so as to render prices relatively higher in many of the Continental markets than in this country; but when the excitement shall have subsided, which it termini; will do it nothing should occur to occasion apprehension respect ing the growing crops, the foreign merchant will again have to look to Great llntain for a market, and we are perfectly satisfied that between this and harvest lance quantities of corn will reach us from the Baltic and other northern ports. This, and the belief that our ova farmers have quite as large a proportion of the last crop remaining on hand as is generally bold at the correponding period cf the year, render any ae rates in that article through a want of aliquots supplies, unlikely. We are therefore of opinion that no material m.antie from present rates will take place if the @Amor r should prose tolerably propitious. With free deLveries from the growers, prices might perhaps give way • few shillings per qr., bet we question whether (semen will be inclined to se'l at terms much below . those now comet. It may have . been observed that woe never good red wets, has fallen bee low 40. per qr. to the princip el consuming =ahem, the hus • •uppdes nave Bolen off considerably, and that a ties of a shilling or two above that point has had the effect of drew ing • large qumtity forward. This has occurred several times since lest harvest, which would almost indicate that purchasers regarded the price named as tolerably safe, end that sellers generally have come to a similar cseicinsion. The trail has since our last been exceedengly dull, the disposition to buy having decreased in proportion as the character of the weather has improved; meanwhile fair supplies of home err own wheat have been brought forward, and the vu :den telling off in the demand has obliged sellers to accept lower terms. The fall has been more decided in the markets in thy agricultural districts than at the large consuming towns, but the tendency has lance the close of last week been down wards in all parts of the kingdom. By letters irom Ireland we learn that the fears entertained the week before in reference to the potato crop had in a great measure subsided, as it was thought that the injury done to the haulm by the frost would not affect the root. The reports respecting the appearance of the grain crops in the sister isle are also, on the whole of a favouratele nature ; owing, however, to short suppliein full ptioes had been realised for all kinds of corn, meal, &c . and the Indian cora received was going rapidiy into consumption. The arrivals of wheat coastwise foto the port of London have not increased, only 3,307 qrs. having been reputed up to this (Saturday) evening. The quantity brought for- I ward by land-carriage samples from the home counties has at the same time been very small, and the offers from Liecoln shire, Cambridgeshire, and that neighbourhood not by us any I means numerous The supply has neverthiless proved amply sufficient Military the demand; sad considerable def amity has been experienced in disoosir g of the lotle or tight forward at previous prices. The arrivals of Wheat from abroad have been moderate since our last, the total quantity which has come to hand having amounted to 17,796 qrs., meetly from near Continental ports. The town millers would ap pear to be in no immediate want, judging from the extreme emblem which the) have displayed in their operations. The 8 mr trade has been very heavy throughout the week, and the commoner sorts (whether of iv me or forelgn nmb factors) have scarcely sold so well as before ; but the millers have not varied the top price. Only a few hundred quarters of English barley have come to hand this week aid though the principal malesters have left off buying, the miffing quantity brought forward has found takers at the full tenses or Monday last. The arrivals of this grain from abroad have not bees by any mesas large, but the demand having rather slackened, some difficulty was experienced in effecting sales on Friday at the prices correct ia the beginning of the week ; and factors declining to ac cept less money, only a rat il business was done. Malt has rather risen in value of late, but prices were not higher at the close of the week than on Monday. The market has been very sparingly supplied with Oats of home-growth; and as the quantity lately brought forward at the different country markets has fallen oft materially, there appear to be grounds for supposing that stocks are nearly exhausted in this country, and that we shall from now till harvest hers to depend principally on foreign supplies. Tem have hitherto proved quits I geld to our wants; bat it may be questioned whether May will be kept up at the same ratio. The dealers seem, however, to be more disposed to sell what they have lately bought than to add to their stooks; and the trade has, since Mon. day, been exceedingly dull. Emily good sweet corn, whether English or foreign, has not been sold lower; but ordinary and out-of conditioned parcels were, in partial instances, offered on Friday at terms rather below those of last Monday. Beans have met with a moderato share of attention, and have commanded the recently enhanced rates. Very few parcels of English peas have been brought forward; and where sales have been made, full prices have been realised.

By the mostreeen advrces troy Ns Continent It appears that a similar change to that which has occurred in thu wels her* had taken place, which, with the somewhat more sub dued tone of the reports from the English markets, had had the effect of chackicg spcculation In Wheat at the nearer ports.. . -- At the more distant places the news of the reaction here had not yet been received, and, by anoount•t fie.= Dantsio, dated 18th Inst., it appears that a lure amount of business bad been done during the week. Altogether about 2,000 lute had changed hand, within that period, and mostly at au ideates of 2t. pis qr.; 435. having been paid for 621ba. high-rinsed, 40s. fur Gila. to 621 b. fins iniatd, sod 30s. per qr. free on hoard for 611 b. good misted. In other articles there had not been much doing, but the previous value of Itye had been very firmly supported; good paresis having hraught prices equal to 17e. 61. to 18.. 61. per qr. free on board. Quotation' for Wheat appear also to hays been well sup ported at Ureitswald, Stralmund, Ancient, So. • but the sales actualiy made at thine places had not bee; large, sellers having in most instances asked more mosey tan buyers had born divosed to pay ; and unless prime advancer here, or fall OD the other side, it will be impossible to thi banners with advantage. At Hamburg, on Tutedcy last, the demand for wheat was less 'elev. than the week before; but sellers were not dm levied to submit to lower terms, stocks on the spot hub,' become very greatly reduced; prime for 69glbs. to 611bs. red upland ra ft ed from 3d .. 365. lid. per qr. free on board. There bad not been many offers of wheat from outports. Barley had been lest plentiful them previously, and it, value bed rather tended upwer 's ; good Beale, on the spot, of weight, was then held at 18e. to 18e. 8.1., and fur hem qualities, to be shipped fruits the Danish 16.. 3d. up to 176. 9.1. per qr. free on board had beet asked.

COMMITTEES IN THE HOUSE OP COMMONS.—Yee. tardily, a parliamentary paper wee printed, showing that 41 commutes of the Howie of Commons sat in the year 1849. The names of the member. and the d ura ti on of the *Wins are given. Tux IRON TRADE.—Another fortnight has pant d without any perceptible improvement in this trade. During this early pert of it some expectation seemed to prevail that the blowing -out of 'writhe& forty of the Scotch blast fur. weer, together with the determined stand so long mlin- Weed by the °When and workmen, would soon reduce the make in that country below the eonsumption, and that eon eequently higher pekoes might be anticipated there. In Staffordshire also several furnaces had been put out of blast, and the stocks of pig-iron not being in the hands of needy sellers, it was thought that any improvement in Scotch pigs would have influenced the quo:aliens here ; hence, consider able laquiry began to be made by purchasing firms for the better qualities, but unfortunately the demand for MUM. factored iron by no means participated in the improvement, but rather continued to decline. In nail-rods of course nothing has been doing; in hoops and sheets but little; while orders for merchant iron in general are unumally fist, and several makers have intimated their willingness to accept lower figures. All prospect of activity has %bereft,' again subsided. Some considerable works have been put to stand ter want of orders; among them le mentioned tag ex Jeanine portion of thole belonging to the Bridal Iron Com pany at Brierley-hill ; and it is reported that notices have been given for ruination in wages, both to puddler, and mill-men, by several mutes in the district. Employment hes also become more scarce on account of the prooseili-igs lately awned on for putting down the system of tommy shops. The quantity of iron made i s muc h in exo:es of the daily con sumption. The foreign markets appear to be glutted with forced sad almost unsaleable supplies, and prices are resorted to something under the actual cult, in order to compete with the tempting offers made by our more fortunately cir cumstanced neighbours. But the continuance of business upon such term' can only be a question of time, and unless some unforeseen so urce o f d eman d should spr ing up, the whole make, not only of this, but of each producing dis tract throughout the kingdom, must be further curtailed, and that within a short period. From the beet information we can obtain, it appalls that a reduction of fire per cent. on the general rates of wages had Dean submitted to by the workmen engaged in the manufacture of iron throughout the principality, end that the pries of Welsh Iron, free on board at the ports, Is now 41. 10e. ; but that, even at these figures, buyers are scarcely to be found. In Sootland t iron is again doll of sale, and the exports of the first four months of the present year fall short of those in the same period of 1849 by nearly 37,000 tuns. The priors now quoted vary from 425. ed. to 48s. per ton. The number ef furnaces there stated to be in blast on the let of January last was 112, of which 46 are now standing on account of the, °Alien' strike, and the produce of many others Is re duced, so that the total quantity made is supposed to DJ less by alma 8,000 tons weekly—a contraction which must have a beneficial result on the market, at least in reducing the enormous stocks on hand with which the preatnt yeas was eeaseseed.—AirWes Birmingham Umutte.

The half-yearly meeting of the directors and pro prietors of this compels, took placeeeterday at the King's Anal. Palace yard, Westminster. F. _ y S. BUTLIIit, Bag., took the chair. There were not more than thirty present. The rustles having upraised it as their opinion that it was un neeessary to read the printed half yearly report of the directors, the ehainnut put it for adoptioa. Gas. MOILSON said that before the report wan adopted he felt it necessary to point out to the meeting a few points contained In former reports, *kick required some expla nation. It appeared that in November, 1849, the directors told the propristen that the line to Jerpoint would be open In the following December. It was not, however, open till the 10th of May, 1850. How did it happen, then, that such a daisy occurred ? He saw also that the proprietors nue especially directed to thank Mr. George /told for getting up some steam-boats, as giving valuable 'add uce to the railway. Their returns were, however, lets now than when these steamboats were warted. He wanted to know whether any of the fonds of the com pany had been, or would be, appropriated to there steam boats. In making this question ban's, he had received ano waive answer from a director. He would now put it to the Oarsman. He also wanted to know whether the liabilities, amounting to 30,0001., had been liquidated, or whether the actions which had been instituted against the company for the payment of pecuniary claims, and amounting in number to 67 were compromised, or were still pending. The Board of Dineen premised, in March, 1849, to ant a saving of 6,0001. a year in micas ways, but they had only effected a saving of 1,400 n for the last year. He wished to know how that was. Mr. BATES said that be regretted exceedingly that there was no more favourable report to lay before the meeting, but it wee not the fault of the p resent directors that such was the case. They had dose everything within the range of possibility to improve their financial condition, and he had urns satisfacion in finding that Captain Mono. was able to discover so little fault. He felt responsible for the report, and be wished to justify every particular of it. There was only one item in it with which he was dissatisfied. He felt convinced that the direeton bad tried to carry retrenchment and economy to the tallest extent. No railway worked cheaper, undersimilar disadvan tun ; working with very large engines with only 114 ladle open, which involved a consi derable loss, their expectes were only Bid. a mile. If their line was worked with small engines, each as were on the C3rk and Bandon line, the expenses would only be 51. per mile. In reply to the question why the line to Jer point bad not been opened before May, he bad only to say that the contractors had a claim which the company refused to pay in crib, end the eontequence was that the men were removed. Legal proceedings were commenced an I not con tinued. With regard to toe other matter, he felt that Mr. Reid was entitled to the thanks of the company. The com pany had purchased one steamer, and destroyed the mo• nopoly that existed, and considerable benefit bed been derived from it already. He was not cognisant of any money having been authorised by the board to be paid for the expense of running th. se stesmers. Gan. M'Llton and air. Sarum: supported this statement by saying they were not aware of any of the company's money having hien appropriced to meeting the expenses of the steam speculatinn. Mr. BATES continued by saying that he agreed with Capt. Morton with regard to his objections to the report of the waggon traffic. The reason why it Lad not btea sooner done away with was, that at first they had bean roi-led. When he was in Ireland, as far as he could bear, it was about paving its way, but at a subsequent investigation, on finding a loss from it of from 71. to Si. per week, it was done away with immediately. He was sorry to say that their liabilities existed to the full, but that the actions had been dropped, with the exception of :hue. He could not agree with the opinion of the chairman, with regard to the prefer ence shares, as he felt sure that the lino would be a profit able one, especially if they could get as tar as Kiltorkan by the time the Irish South Eastern was opened. The report, from which we take the following passage, was adopted, as well as the balance sheet: The directors state " that negotiations are now pending for the settlement of all disputed claims, and it is hoped tr ibes the next half-yearly meeting they will have been finally arranged. They eke announce that the claims of the com pany against the Irish South E astern Company are in • fair way of being adjusted. They state that there is every reason to expect that the Irish South Eastern nisi be completed and opened to the junction at Kilkenny in September next. In order, however, to secure all the advantages to be derived from the completion of the Irish South Eastern Railway, they remind the shareholders that the extension to Knock willies' should be opined at the came time. This, however, must depend upon their taking up the preference shares, which the director, hope they will shortly be in a position to allot, the hill to manor's. their issuer having already passed the House of Commons. The director, SiaLy express • belief, owing to tee reduced price of labour and materials, the remainuer of the line will be constructed so much under the coat of the first portion, that when the whole a finished to Waterford, it will be on the go • cheap railway." Mr RADCLIFFE then read the contract between the director, and Mr. Burke, relating to the wotkin_g of the line, which was put to the meeting and adopted. Mr. Radcliffe stated generally the nature of the various clauses in the bill proposed to be laid before parliament. Capt. MORSON opposed this bill; and a long discussion then ensued on a subject of an agreement which had been entered into between the directors and acme fiends of Capt. Morton, who had advanced 10,0001, Capt. Mormon being ap prehensive this bill would render such agreement void. Mr. Saone reed a list of forfeited shares, amounting to 77, and a emulation was adopted by the meeting, confirming the declaration of forfeiture. Tile following resolutions were then put and agreed to, Captain Mason having strongly objected to that one which had reference to the bill sought for horn parliament, confer ring the power of granting preferential shares, and having proposed an amendment, it was rejected. That the bill now read to this meeting, for enabling the company to raise further capital and for other purposes, be, and the same is hereby approved; and that the resolution passed at a special general meeting of the company, held on the 30th of November. 1049, whereby the directors were empowered to apply in the then next session of parliament fur a bill (among other things) to an. thorlac the crsa&n and issue of preference shares or debentures to the extent of 120,009/., be, and the mme is, hereby modified and altered a, On as the provisions of the bill now read are at variance with such resolution. that dieiiirectora be empowered to affix their common seal of the company to the oopy of the said bill as now submitted to, and ap. proved by, this meeting. That the reeelution passed at a general meeting of the company held on the 30th of November, 1919, for increasing the number of the director. front eight to tea, be, and the same is, hereby rescinded. That this meeting do confirm the declaration of forfeiture made by the directors at their beard meeting of the 17th inst., partici. ladled in the list hereto annexed, and they are hereby declared for. kited itooonlingly. flat Charles Itobert Colman, Eeq., an] Major.Cleneral D.
