MONEY MARKET. TVZSDAT ETININO. At the raseg of the directors and proprietors of the Bank of England which was held to-day, the dividend of fear per cent. for the half year wax oon finned. The proposed alteration in the stamp duties does not appear to have as yet excited that general atten tion among merchants which, as affecting the com mercial interest, of the country, the importance of the subject demands. If the view taken of this matter by " A Solicitor • (whose letter appeared in yester day's Express), be correct, and there appears no reason to doubt that the wording of the resolution, and the explanation of the Chancellor, authorise the omelusioas to which our correspondent arrives, then numerous commercial operations which hitherto have been exempt will in future be shackled by a heavy stamp tax according to the extent of the transactions. Thus the transfer of consols, dock warrants, railway stock, or any other bond or document, " matter or thing," given or taken on pledge as security for loans or advances, will, according to the proposed measure of the Chancellor of the Excbeeper, be subject to • damp duty, in order to legalise the transfer. It is to be hoped that the mercantile public will be alive to the injustice about to be inflicted on their freedom of action, and that no =ware will be allowed to become law, by which restriceions and impositions of this oppressive nature will be put in form, operating as a check on the freedom of trade, for which so glorious a battle has been fought and woo. The Fonaneialist of this day draws attention to the subject as far as it refers to railway property ; sad although we do not participate is all the views expressed by the writer, we nevertheless give his observationstw eztenso, as they exhibit in another phase the onerous nature of the tax proposed, at the same time exposing the evasions to which the provi dons of this very ill-coesidered and oppressive mea sure will be liable. The revision of the duty on stamps as proposed by the Chasmllor of the Ezchsquer cams under the consideratioo of the helms on Monday the 19th. Is sneerer to the question put by Alderman &dila whether the proposed alteration apprised to house property, the ChasmUor of the Exchequer stated that the proposed reduction applied to all property. Is his speech to the house he stated " the dare of stamp duties with which he meant now to deal was that which re lated to transfers, mortgages, and bade, and the general tenor of the proposal he bad to make was, instead of the present exceediagly unequal and unjust rates, to adopt as nearly as might be the principle of an ad valorem duty, though to carry it out strictly would be utterly impossi ble. Whereas at present there were jumps in very large sums from 1,000!. to 2,0001, 3,0001 , and so on, he proposed to adopt a much more minute Kale, begin ning with 251., and then going to 60!, 100!., and so up •ards. The result of that weal! be very nearly an ad valorem duty, and as nearly as could be curled out, and it would eidf-ct a considerable reduction in the stamp duty on traasectiose leader 1,0001. as regarded exemesimems and mortgages." We have italicised the word conveyances, bemuse many persons fancy the stamps for the transfer of railway shares or stock are not to be included in the proposed alteration, an e: ties which is elderly unintended. After showing by a few instances what he proposed to do with respect to mortgages sad bonds, which wee to carry wit an ad valorem. duty of i per cont., he remarks that convey ances were rather mare somplientod, and is the first place he proposed to adept the pinnessingy of aot exceeding," instead of the present mei, "sad mac" After referring to the pretreat and paws' duties is maveyances or trans fers, be c - ncludas • "Me 111111116111 prattled that it should Menses j per onst. up In 6001., i between 6001. and 1,0001., after 1,0001 I par east upon all transactions up to 2,0001 and the. he premed that it should vary with every 1,0001." lhe duties, both the present and pr stoned, from 8001. and upwards, cao be evaded without any iafrection of the law by the following amassment A. pordsmos railway share; worth 8001. • instead of having them tramtlerred on • 91. stamp, he gas 2991. lfie.

Love, ems of the retiring directors, circulated an ad dress to the skarsholden, fa which he stated that there must be a material change In the Rode of management of railway rirr, if it is to be rescued from its present de „.. to have the advantages which an aren:s sied irds In earning on a great andertakiag. In his opinion the duties of the directors, whoever they might be, should extend to ea inquiry iato what way the enormous traMe of this sonapeay maid be moat advantageously con , dwaterk as he obtain the largest aspen of Neel& at the lowest expense aostaleteatly with a due regard to upholding the plant and works. He pointed eat ether dada, the prioresses of which was requisite to avoid unneeesary litigation, sad proceeded to point out that it was impossible such duties could be perforated by a board of gentlemen who simply came together ono. a week to auk a few questions, to deliberate upon some particular course of policy to be adopted, and then return home. He argued that the affairs of such an undertaking could not be properly directed " in one day," that the major part of the duties pointed out were never attended to at all, and that the board were directed instead of being the directors them selves. How was this to be remedied ? It can be done (Mr. Love says) in two ways, either by appointing a general manager or by the direeton giving increased attention to the affairs of the company ; or, ha adds, it may be left undone ; the last is most frequently the cue. He observed that the directors now proposed to lave a general manager, the den , ger of which plan, he my, is that the directors, as they are called, are not so in reality, but only nominally. As re spects the board, Mr. Love advised the proprietors to select gentlemen woo would to williag and able to give a larger portion of time than one day is the week, and to pay them accordingly. As to ornamental directors, the sooner such were weeded out the better. He enforced the necessity of shareholders in various localities, where they are very nu merous, being duly represented at the board, and suggested that perms representing directly the interests of bank. (which are constantly fluetuatiag), or being the agents of them, should never be chosen for directors. Indeed, no per son should whose engagement is any manner might lead to a doubt as to the integrity of his motives in offering himself for • seat. ---: Rage advice, have been received to the 18th.

The CHAIRMAN said, in introducing the special mat ters for discussion, he must claim from them their candid and uninterrupted attention whilst betook a review of the general position of the company, and the relative position of its several chases of shareholders. He then observed upon the extent of its railways, and the obligation tinier which the com pany was placed, in having to complete the purchase of the Great North of England Railway at a pries of three and a half millions. He narrated the circumstances under which the Great North of England shares were crested in 1846, and the occurrences which had since transpired. After 1847, in oonsequesoe of the glans which prevai:ed in the money market, no call was mad* beyond the 81. purchase, which vapid prior te that date, on the Great North of England shares, and he had yet to learn that any share holder had found fault with the directors for not:making fur ther calls. The shareholders in August last agreed to the arrangement which now existed, for postponing till 1856 the completion of the Great North of England purchase ; and not a word of objection was made by any Great North of England shareholder to this arrangement. Yet now they had those who sloght for a bounty for their concurrence in that alteration of the original terms, which were for their advantage. He showed that Mr. Douglas, who first moved in this matter, bought Great North of England shares for the first time in February last, to the extent of 200 shares, and from that time had been sowing the seeds of dissension. This Mr. Douglas had been on the Stock Exchange and he had a perfect right to buy these shares at their depressed price ; but, with these facts before the shareholders, what would they thine of the patriotism of Mr. Douglas, and of thole who were acting in oo•opeation with him ? Another gerr-lemen who had taken an active part in this movement was Mr. Holton, who bad becomes a bolder since November, and had at different times bought 696 Great North of England shares since that month. The chairman contended that in strict fairness the Great North of England shareholders bad no right to have guaranteed 41. per share on the 171 yet to be called ; still the directors, in their desire to meet them liberally, had recom. mended the old stockholder to make that concession, and further the directors were not prepared to go. They had had a conference with certain Great North of England shareholders that day, at which the directors had proposed with reference to alb that on payment of the 11. call in July next they would forego the all in January next, the future calls to be in July, 1852, 11. 51. ; and on the Ist of January, 1853, 11. 6s. This liberal proposal had been rejected by these gentlemen, and terms proposed which he should not think fit to mention. The chairman spoke with great ability and energy, occupying the meeting upwards of an hour. He concluded by moving a resolu tion to the effect that the Great North of England shares be paid dividend, en the 'l7l. yet unpaid, 4 per cent., on such proportions as should be called until 1856; the 81. now paid up to receive dividend, pro rata, with the general stock of the company.

He Ent called upon Mr. Close to Mate that be had been • holder of shares in this tympany long prior to February last. lie then showed that what he sought to attain was, that the Great North of England shareholders should pay up 161. 13e. 4d., and that as to the resides the company should exercise their borrowing powers ,• they still had power to raise 700,0001. on debenture'. With this sum, and the two thirds of the Great North of England shares, they would raise 3,loo,oool—being within a small amount of the sum required. He very warmly commented upon the observa tions of the chairman, denying that any man could pass, with Justice, a reflection on his character. The CHAIRMAN said that the company had no power to borrow for the pumices suggested by Mr. Douglas. Mr. DOUGLAS (amidst frequent interruptions)—He complained that the sills had bee. made when, as he con tended, there was no necessity for them, the money not being required. Mr. SWANN inquired if they adopted the director's recommendation, how they would meet the first payment to the Great North of England Company in 1853? The CHAIRMAN said that, according to the balance sheet, there was on this account 126,0001. in hand ; they proposed to repay, from the construed in account, the sum of 200,0001. ; the first call, in July alit, would reitie 143,0001. ; and the second and third all., to which he had referred, would amount to 837,0001.: this altogether would amount to 326,6001., being some thousands over the sum required to make that payment. Mr. HOLLON next spoke. He vindicated hie character against any imputation wkiedi the chairman had made, and he condemned the practice of "showing up " which bad been resorted to by that (sublime. He complained of the hardship, under which the Great North of Ragland shareholders had been placed in not call ing up their capital when • 6 per cent. preference dividend was payable. He also contended that the money already celled on this stock had been misapplied, and that the statement of which had been presented, bad, in his opinion, greatly depreciated the character of their presert immaculate board. He said that the company would have the greatest difficulty in obtaining the money for the pur• chess of the Great North of England Railway, unless fair and eri u : citable terms were conceded to the preference holder. He oh wed to the.proceedinge which the directors had taken, is at two cells, which had depressed the value of the shares, and thereby, instead of inducing penis, to hold to their shares, driving men to abandon their property, and to rid themselves of the responsibility. Mr. H. S. THOMPSON, chairman of the York and North Midland Company, explained, in reference to an ob swation from Mr. Hollon, that the preference holder in that company was very differently situated to the preference holder in this company. He advised the meeting not to be deterred by amide, but to do what was right. He looked tapes the terms reposed by the directors as fair, and would support them. Mr. SCOTT, of London, contended that the preference holders in this company ought to have &guaranteed dividend of 4 per cent. in perpetuity upon all the capital created by the preference shares. 110 complained that he s,sd other, had been refused info:nation as to the I.olditit of the ditestore, and he did not know that net pretences holders had any fair representatiodln the Wised.

The seers. tary read a report of the committee of management, contain ing the following statements: " in the report made to the last general meeting, the com mittee attributed the deficiency in the revenue of that year to the plural depression in the eoal trade and disturbed state of the continent. The state of accounts now submitted showed a farther decrease of 2,7561.17 e. 9d., which the committee mush regretted, be cause the greeted part of the deficiency was to be attributed to the diversion of nearly the whole of the coal tra ffi c from off the Clarence line, at BiLiaghans, on to the Stockton and Hartlepool line, leading to the West Docks at West Hartle pool, by which the Clarence Company not only lose the reve nue on 31 miles, the distance from Dillingham to Port Clarence, but likewise that arising from shipping duce and other sources. The committee computed the injury to the Clarence from this source to amount to some thousand pounds. Although, at the last general meeting, a resolution was passed in the following words—' That a dividend of 30s. per share on the original shares for the year 1848, be pay able on or after the lit Jane, 1849, subject to the raising of these= of 7,3941. mentioned in the report by an issue of government loan shares, carrying a rate of dividend not exceeding 5 per cent., and that the committee be author ised to issue the same Mures accordingly.' Yet the diffi culty they found in the first instance of can, lag that resolution into effect, and subsequently the itiveg legal doubts that were expressed of the powers of the company to make se issue of government loan shares for the reimburse ment of previous payments combined to render thie resolution nugatory. It would be seen in the accounts now submitted that, independent of the regular fixed chugs on the com pany's resource., they had during the last year beta obliged to 11111 a portion of the in the payment to the Exche quer Loan Commissimers of the sum of 1,63.51. 12s. 3d. principal besides the stipulated interest, and they have also paid to Messrs. Williams and Co., 1,5001., in discharge of pen of what is due to them. Under these circumstances, and the present state of the revenue, and the company's affairs, there was no legitimate source cut of which any dividend could he paid on original shares, and there was • notice given by an individual member of the committee to rescind the resolution previously referred to of the last general meeting, which would claim the attent.oa of the proprietors." The statement of receipts and expenditure exhibited a Brow revenue of 39,0661. 7s. 7d., and a gross expenditure of 20,2581. 18s. Od., leaving a balance of 18,8071. 81. 93. The other aide of the account sbowed a payment to the Exchequer Loan Commissioners of 1,6351. 12a. 3d., being the Instalment of a loan of 29,9091. 13s. 3d., and this with other payments for interest and dividends en first and second I class shares brought up the total payments to 16,1781. 135.,5d., which, being deducted from 18,8071., the balance of pfbfit, left only 2,6281. 15s. 4d., to which, however, was to be added • balance brought over from last year of 10,8921. 3s. ld., making altogether 13,5201. 18s. M. The company are em power, d to raise 599,6451. 13s. 11d. as capital, and the whole of this amount has been raised with the exception of 10,0251. 10s. The CHAIRMAN said it would be seen by the report that, owing to the depression in the coal tiaras and the other curses alluded to in that document, their revenue had fallen 0ff2,6281. as compared with the preceding year. It would have been contrary to the opinion of their legal adviser to have raised a further sum on government loan shares, and have declared a dividend with it, and it would have been capi talising . With respect to the coal trade, it was to be hoped that things would mend if peace in Europe was maintained. It must be remembered that the blockade of the northern ports was not taken off till last Ausust, but he trusted that the coal trade had now received an impulse, and that the affairs of this company would under ordinary circum stances show a great improvement. Mr. STURGE said he couture.' in this report as to the cause of the decline of the ue—that cause being the diversion of the traffic from the line. The directors might have supposed last year that the duress* was owing to the disturbed state of Europe, but he had been at some pales to ascertain the amount of traffic, and he found that the falling off of the traffic last year was only from 20,000 to 22,000 tons. The falling off of the re venue this year was owing to the large diversion of traffic from the line, the coal going off at Dillingham, to the Hartlepool line, from which the low to this company was 4,0001. and upwards. Last year the quantity of coal brought down the line was 444,000 tons; this year it was 492,000 tons, and there ought to have been • corresponding increase of revenue, but unfortunately that was not the case. He happened to differ, unfortunately, with some of the gen. Osman with whom he sat. The CHAIRMAN observed that some of the gentlemen around him suggested that there might be some things said at the meeting which it wonld be well should net go before the public. Certain arrangements were In progress, and it would not be well that they should give a knowledge of their concerns to the public ; and he hoped, therefore, the gentlemen of the prose would not take it amiss if her, quested them to withdraw. The reporters then withdrew. LOANS FOR RAILWAYS IN IRILAND.—By a return just issued of all monies lent to four railway companies in Ireland, by the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, via., the Dahlia and Drogheda, Great Southern and Western, Waterford and Kilkenny, and Midland Great Western Railway, between 1842 and 1849, it appears that the total sum so advanced, amounted to 831.0001. at 5 per cent. interest; the interest paid to 72,1931., and the principal rep sid to 51,1791. The total amount of loans by the com saWioners of public works, from 1832 to 1842, at 4 ►nd 5 per cent., to the Dublin and Kingstown, Ulster Ex tension, and Dublin and Kingstown Branch to Dslkey, amounted, as shown by a similar return, to 157,2001. ; amount of interest paid to 56,3671., the amount of interest due to 1,8741, the principal repaid to 99,5951., and princi pal outstanding to 57,6041. ROMANCE OF REAL Lira.—The magistrates at Upton-on-Severn Petty Sessions have been engaged in adjudTating on • case of bigamy, e'mmitted under very reeutier circumstances. The accused bigamist is one John Curtis, • labourer, of the village of Strensham, and he stands charged with having married a seeocd wife daring the life time of his flrit, whose mai len name was Anna Maria Wil kins, and whom he married at Stringent in 1835. Curtis and hie wife lived together until the year 1840, when they Game to a mutual agreement to separate. Upon this sepa ration taking place, the wife, who wss of • masculine cha racter, determined to " change her conoition " otherwise, and forthwith she assumed male attire, and proceeded lato an adpining county (Staffordshire), where she engaged with a farmer as day labourer. She subsequently paid her addresses to a housemaid employed to her master's esta blishment, and they were actually married, and lived toge ther for several years, the secret of the supposed husband's sex being undivulged. At length, however, the housemaid, tired of her female husband, removed to a distant part of the country, while the heroine of our story remained in ' Staffordshire. In the meantime her real husband, Curtis, married again, end the fact was very shortly afterwards con veyed to the ears of his real wife in Staffordshire, upon which she wattled her proper female attire, had Curtis taken into custody, and appeared to proeeeute him for bigamy. The magistrates having heard the evidence, com mitted Curtis fur trial. TEE PERSONS POISONED.—Greet excitement pre vails at present in Stow Bardolph. Norfolk, in consequence of it having been discovered that a respectable farmer, na m e d Peer, residing in the village, together with the whole of hie family, consisting of ten persons, had been poisoned. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Page, their son, Mr. Page's two sisters, a governess, a man servant, sod three female err. vents. Oa Wednesday morning last, the family sat down to breskfast, and partook of tea, which was sweetened by some white eager, which had been purchased at Downham by Mrs. Page. Alter drinking the fen. Mr. Pare enssPlsined that he felt sick, and attributed it to the sugar. It was then examined, and a few particles of white substance were dis covered in the basin. One of the females present remarked that it was very likely that the stuff was put in to cheapen the sugar, and it was determined that it should only be used for puddings. At dinner • fruit pudding was servea up, and the sugar was again used. Immediately after dinner, the whole of the family were seised with symptoms of poisoning, and experienced dreadful agony. Mr. Page died in the enures of the night, and the medical gentleman in atten dance has since reported the death of his son. Hopes are entertained that the other members of the family and the servants ,all of whom are still very ill, will recover.
