CALCUTTA AND num sAsrasx RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The fourth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held et half-pest 12 o'clock, at the °mow r ;realism House ; Mr. Joan BORIRADAILE b the chair. The following is the esdolanse of the of the dire:tees : The eensruting engineer, Mr. having Pro' medal to India, to expedite the eciestructios of the works, be extenuated in estellishieg a good understand- Mg with the official authorities, and kis exertions had been greatly facilitated by the hearty Co. operation of the consulting engitieer of government. The arrangements he has made will secure the °peeing in the month of July of the first section of the hie, which passes for eleven miles through a densely po pulated district, to tionapore. The moils at the Piallee brAge have been complicated beyond all previous antici pation, and the entire line cannot, therefore, be completed for the conveyance of goods before the end of the present year. But a t th e close of the rains in October it is proposed to establish a ferry at this creek for the conveyance of passengers, when the aliottees of land will be enabled to reach the terminus es the Mullah in an hour and a half, and to ecemence operations for the construction of the new port. Os his arrival in Calcutta, Mr. Longridge found that the east of the line would be in excess of the original estimate. New customs duties had been laid on the importation of all articles from England, which would add at lout ten thou sand pounds to the expenditure. But the chief cause of in creme in the outlay proceeded from an unexampled rise in the price of labour and the cost of materials, to the extent of from 50 to 60 per cent. These contingencies are likely to increase the expense of the line about 20 per cent. The director. have solicited the usual guarantee of 5 per cent. on 50,0004 of additional capital,and Sir Charles Wood has at once acceded to their request. This sum the directors are now raising, under the sanction of two meet ings, by debentures which have live years to ran t but are convertible into shares at the o pti on of the holders after the let of January peat. The line has always been a popular undertaking, and the directors have oo doubt that the entire amount of this additional capital will be realised as rapidly as it is required. Mr. itahworth,ithe accountant, has remodelled the system of account., and with the most satisfactory results. The balance-sheet of the London account has been duly audited to the list December last. In consequence of the severe labour involved in the reconstruction of the accounts is India, the directors have not se yet received the Indian statement, although the meeting had been postponed to the latest date in the hope of it. arrival ; but the shareholders had the satisfaction of knowing that every item of expenditure was rigidly scrutinised and audited by the official authorities in Calcutta, who had expressed their coo6dence in the ability of the accountant to place the books of the company co a perfectly satisfactory footing." - _ Afar some remarks from the CHURIIAN, and from Yr. LONGIUMR, coebstatory of the statementa, he., Is the report, the report wee adopted vaaakooogy, sad the retiziss directors wen re-elected. 1.411 MN BEZIOAL BAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) Thin afternoon, the sixth ordinary half-yearly meeting of the above railway wea held, at the offices, Greehawstreet ; Mr. Lure in the chair.

The directors observe with satisfaction the °cadence ex pressed by Mr. Purdou that the works will be eamplekei within the estimates. The public de amities show that everything is being pressed for by the government, and the CAMS of this company, to endeavour to open, if possible, in May next. The Urge payment. in full made by the shareholders, in anticipation. of calla, have enabled the directors hitherto tzrtpone the Seel call. It bus now, however, been and the payment has of boss fixed for the sth July next. A special nmeting et the shareholders will be called at the end el that month, with the view of gamic • resolution to convert the paig3up shares into stock. The works at the Calcutta Terminus, and generally on the line, were sulkies* advanced to enable the board two mouths ago to comma sending out the rolling stock. Mit locomotive engises were then shipped. The remainder of the rolling stock is is course of manufacture, and will be shipped as finished, so that the whole may arrive in India infers sett May, in time for the opening of the lisa Tb. dizectons have at. *mom in informing the shareholders of the aid sow befog given by the govern ment of India, to inure the large prospective local tangle of this railway, by improving old, and coast sew nada, to act as feeders to it. The pecuniary 6=2 tare already ordered to be paid by the government, as a beginning, for this purpose, amounts to the sure of Be. 3,41,500; and it appears to be the intention of the revetment to lay out further sums for the same purpose.

Yesterdny evening a meeting wu held at the Polytechnic lostitutien, Regent.strest, for the purpose of ng Made to erect • utrunient to John Bunyan. Lord 811111PTINMUST occupied the chair, and ON the platform were the Rev. Robert Maguire, Rev. Mr. Kirkgae, Rev. H. Treenail, Rev. E. Brackettbuy, lir. Underhill, arid Mr. limit, from Bedford. The theatre of the institution was well filled. The meeting was preeeded by anentertrinment is which • number of beautiful dissolving views represent. ism the thief iocidente in Bonyan's life and in " The Pil grim's Prairie." were exhibited. A report wee read, which stated that some time since a committee had been formed to erect a monument to Bunyan in one of the leading Morough• (woof Loe.loo. The Chairman, after explaining the object of the meeting, pointed to John Bunyan's chair, which occupied the centre of the platform. It had been intended for the chairman, but as be thought so roan in England was worthy to till it, he had preferred that, as far as he was concerned, it should remain vacant. It was the custom of the day to erect monuments to great men, and it was highly fitting that • memorial should be raised to John Bunyan. By God's immediate inspiration, or something very clime upon it, Bunyan bad produced a book which, after the Bible, had conferred greater benefit on every class of society than any other that had ever been written. The book was equally captivating to the old and the young the learned end the *Dorset. No other book had gone through so many ed. none, or been circulated in so many nations. Altogether, the book was one of the most wonderful triumph, oil Gospel truth that had ever been produced. He hoped a momment would be erected to John Bunyan in one of the leading thoroughfare., and he believed all deem in society maid willingly furnish contributions. The meeting was afterwards mldremed by the Rev. Mr. Kirkman, Rev. R. Magnin, and other., sod resolutions pledging the meeting to efforts for the erection of the monument were adopted.

Mr. Andrew Steuart, M.P. for Cambridge, lately the subject of • discussion in the house originated by Mr. Itosbuck, was in atteadanos last night. " Hszkawny," of the Herald, does not believe in Dundee as the winner of the Derby. " The race in my opinion will be left to Kddonsu and Dlophantns, but u only one horse can win, I shall stand or fall on Kildonan. and I shall expect to see Diophantue sad Atherstone well up, but should the turf be good going, then Klarikoft will eisuredly obtain a situation." In Pads the Pope is now attacked in small and popular siesta, evidently intended for circulation from hand to hand, and for the instruction of them to whom • more elaborate invective would be inaccessible or unintel ligible. One of these publications, bearing the name of a printer in Paris, and circulating through the permission or connivance of the French government, is entitled, in a spirit of bitter irony, " Our Holy Father the Pope," and it begins thus :—" Always the same tune in the street. and at home, —inthenewspapers and in conversation at the church andat the wine-shop; we see and hear nothing but discussions on our Holy Father the Pope. All this noise becomes weariness.. if the poor, honest man has made mistakes, that is his misfortune ; that is his affair." The Pope is wetted of breaking his word, and the people are recom mended to my, "Millions of excuses, Holy Father, if we quit yon ; but we prefer an honest king who keeps his word !" If the Pope curses modern civilisation, and thinks liberty is made for himself alone, the people are advised to shrug their shoulders. He is reproached with the Mortara case, ►nd reminded that if he falls it wM be by his own weight, because he has neg lected to prop the edifice by meriting the love of his people. The rest of the pamphlet is theological rather than political in its tendency. It purports to test the Pope, his government, and his proceedings by the precepts of the gospel and the example of the Founder of Christianity, and concludes, " Let us leave to whoever has the right to regu late the affairs of Rome ; let us not trouble ourselves ►bout the Pope ; let us take for our guide the Gospels, and for our master Jesus Christ." " The fall of the Pops," it is said in another place, " cannot hurt us, for it is not he who saves us. His name is not mentioned by the Apostles. The first Christians did without him, and did well." The special correspondent of the Times in the southern states of America, writing from Savannah, Georgia, on the 2nd, notices "a rudilentiess of admiration for pacific tendencies which can with difficulty be accounted for, unless the news from the North these last few days has something to do with it. Not a word now about an instant march on Washington ! no more threats to seize on Fanelli! Hall! The Georgians are by no means so keen as the Carolinians on their border—nay, they are not so belligerent to-day as they were a week ago. Mr. Jaen= Davis's message is praised for its ' moderation,' and for other qualities which were by no means in such favour while the Sumter fever was at its height. Men look grave and talk about the interference of England and Fiance, which 'cannot allow this thing to go on.' Rut the change which has come over them is unmistakeable, and the best men begin to look grave. As for me, I must prepare to open my lines of retreat—my communications are in &eget." Some apparently important gold discoveries are aanounced in the letters from Halifax, Nova Scotia. The locality is a place called Tangier, about thirty miles east of Halifax and within a mile of the Atlantic coast Two per sona are alleged to have obtained in three days a quantity that realised 351., and, accordindto the belief of some respectable explarers, the mine extends for miles. The gold is in quartz, and the quality is said to be extremely pure. _ _ _ A letter from Uri Rays that fifty cheep with their shepherd have been buried by an avalanche at Auisteg. THE Kircrtom Pirirrsnoiss.—The whole of our yeostenlay's reports from the hop districts concur in statiug that owieg to the prevalence of warm weather doling the past week, the appeannee of most of the plantations has greatly improved, cud the bine hr grown considerably. Oar Hommooden correspondent rays that "the grounds in this neighbourhood are now quite as forward as usual;" and from Ocouldhurst we are informed that while "the high temperature of the hoot few days has caused a pro digious growth of the plants, the bone is not looking so strong sod vigorous as in former years ; and since the com pletion of the polling, one can observe accurately the gaps occasioned by dead and weak hills, which are more Durum mos than was anticipated • month ago." There appears to he a sprinklieg of fly in almost every direction, though not at present to much an extent out Deed alarm the growers, though abont Smartie's as man, as eight or ten have boss counted on a single bal.—South Swims Gamete.

I, Si loi I MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DA Y.) Two o'CLocw. The funds to-day are flat, owing partly to Um great dulness of business. Consols have declined per cent. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange a little heaviness is ap parent. There is a decline in the Turkish Bonds of 1854 and in South Eastern and Midland railway stocks. Tim fortnightly settlement has commenced to-day. The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have not yet come to band. Consols are officially markod 911 and fur money, and 9lt and for the account. The present quotations are 914 to I for money, and 91t to I for the 6th of Juno. The official business report is as follows Three per Cents. Reduced, 891, b ; New Three per Cents., 891, 1,4, ; Thirty Years Annuities, 1885, 153 ; India Stock, 226, 228 ; ditto Five per Cent. stock, 1014, ; Five per Cent. " refaced" rupee paper, 934 ; Exchequer Bills, 55., Os. die. ; ditto advertked, is. prem., 2s. dis., 2s. prem. In the foreign stock market business is almost at a standstill. The Turkish Loan of 1854 has de clined to 714 to 4, whilst that of 1858 is dull at 56 to 4. Mexican Bonds remain flat. Sales are recorded as follows :—Mexican Throe per Cents., 224 ; Russian Three per Cents., 1859, 62. The Tasmanian has arrived from the West Indies with 880,000/. in specie. At a meeting to-day of the creditors of Messrs. T. Ralli, Sons, and Co., the liabilities were estimated at 74,7861., and the assets at 98,6461. It was resolved to adjourn, and meanwhile the assets are to be realised. It was mentioned that the Bank of France are disposed to sot with indul gence as regards the Greek houses. About 105,009/. in gold--.viz., 93,000/. Aus tralian and 11,0001. French coin—was taken to the Bank yesterday. Supplies of French gold coin are attracted by an advance of 11. per ounce in the price given by the Bank: At Vienna, on Saturday, there wan an improve ment off per cent. in the Five per Cent. Metal lives ; and the euhange on London fell from 140.50 to 139.50. The letters from Shanghai mention that silver was being remitted from that port to India. This may check the shipments of silver from England to In The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm, with sales to the extent of 10,000 bales. Yesterday was the last day for receiving tenders for the 25,0001. of Cape of Good Hope Government Six per Cent. Debentures, but the result is not yet known. The report of the directors of the London Char tered Bank of Australia, to be presented at the meeting on the 7th of June, describes the opera tions of the last year as satisfactory, no losses of any importance having been sustained. The ac counts, extending to the 31st Dec., show that, after the usual deductions, and after making allowance for bad and doubtful debts to the full amount re commended by the inspector, there remains to the credit of profit and low a sum of 43,8481. Out of this the directors recommend that a half-yearly dividend of 312 per cent. be declared, free of income tax ; that 10,0001. be placed to the reserve fund, which will then amount to 45,000/. ; that 1,500/. be placed to the colonial building fund ; and that the balance, amounting to 7,8481., be carried to the next so. count. The latest letters from the colony are favourable. A special general meeting of the South Eastern Railway Company is called for the 12th of June, to approve a. bill now before parliament for enabling the company to make an improved communication with the harbour at Folkestone. The meeting will also be required to authorise the directors to raise further capital in connexion with the Charing cross Railway. A special general meeting of the Brighton Rail way Company is convened for the 10th June, to approve two bills now before parliament, one of which is for increasing the capital of the Went London Extension Railway, whilst the second authorises the Brighton Company to make a rail way iu the pariah of Eastergate, in Sussex. The twelfth ordinary general meeting of the Crystal Palace Company is called for the 11th June. A general meeting of the Commercial Dock. Company is to be held on the 14th June, to declare a dividend. The half-yearly meeting of the Imperial Conti nental Gas Association is called for the 29th Mat., when a dividend will be declared.
