The Chancellor of the Exchequer has appropriately followed ap—we will hope concluded—his melancholy exhibition of financial ignorance or carelessness in the case of his unfirtunate Stamp Duties Bill, by a fur ther series of miscalculations, even more provocative of surprise than his previous *chi( cement& Of the final result of Sir Charles Wood's legislation no doubt can now exist; after the convinc-1 ing figures of our able correspondents, " Scrutator," and " A Solicitor," published in our issues of yesterday and to-day—the bill must be withdrawn, and the only question that remains to be decided is how long Sir Charles will continue to trifle with this productionl of his financial; genius prior to consigning it to the shelf. It has been proved conclusively that the total amount of loss which would attend the adoption of the proposed amended scale on duties on conveyances cannot exceed 128,1241., or not half the sort at which it is calculated by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer ' • and several of our correspondents, who poe ms a preetisal aoquisteete with the eehject, do not hesitate to assess the real loss arising from this de scription of transactions at leas than 100,0001. an nually. This view is also borne out by the expel ience of some of the leading members of city circles, who have kept up a quiet but watchful observation of the various mutations which the bill has undergone. Mach attention has been attracted to the inutility, already exposed in the E.rpress, of imposing a stamp duty of Bs. 6d. upon a sum of 1501, when the same amount can be raised by means of three stamps of 601. each at a cut of only 35., thus affording a pal pable encouragement to attempts at evasion of the impost. Unless the ad raloreni plan, as advocated by Sir H. Willoughby, be rigidly adhered to, it would have been far better for the promised remission of taxation to have been granted in some other shape, in preference to having the public mind so unmet,- sanly excited by these ill-directed attempts at altera tion of the existing stamp laws.

The exchange on Lon don was 1211 per 104 for short. A letter from Vienna, of the 19th, says :—" The precise propositions made by the commission of dele gates of all the provinces of the empire, charged with the re-organisation of the Bank, are as follow :—l. The insee of a loan of 150,000,000 florins, at 6 per cent., to be raised by voluntary contributions if pos sible, or, in default, as a forced lean; in the latter cue the amount to be divided among the different provinces of the empire, and to bear interest of only 6 per cent. 2. The paying up of Ibis loan to be spread over twenty-flee months, and the loan to serve for the diminution of the floating debt. 3. The small bank notes of 1,2, 6 florins to be withdrawn from eir-i culation, and no notes lower than 10 florists to be henceforth issued. 4. Reform of the monetary system according to the German standard, and the irons of new gold pieces of 5,10, 20 florins. 6. The issue of the reserved shares of the Bank, but at 800 florins, instead of the original price of 600 florins, with the privilege to the primitive shareholders to purchase the new shares. All these resolutions were taken by the commission, after due deliberation, and nearly all by the unanimity of votes. There is, consequently, rea- son to believe that, notwithetaadkg all his prudence, our Minister of }lnane' will OM to the wishes of the commiseion, which express public) opinion." Letters and papers have been received to the 4th March from Port Elizabeth, Algoa Bay. The sou waste are chiefly occupied with the details of the efforts of the colonists to revive the Resident Covere ment Association, and to eff,ct reforms in the local courts of law, and in the administration of justice in the Somme Court, more particularly with reference to the trial by jury in civil cases .

THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. Very little business is doing in tho English funds this morning, and pricer, from the dull state of the market, have declined k since the opening. Consols were first called 96 to 1 both - for present transfer and the 9th May, then declined to their present quo tation, 951 to 96 both for money and time. The Three per Cents. Reduced mark 951 and 95 ; and the New Throe-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 971 „,,! and last 97 1 . South Sea Old A nnu iti es have been done at 941.

In the foreign stock market every small amount of business has been done ta-day, and the prices gene rally continue as before, except for Spanish. The Attive Five per Cent. Stock has experienced a further heavy fall, the prospects of the unfortunate bond holders being regarded as particulary discouraging. That the discreditable and dishonourable proposals of the Spanish government will ever be acceded to by the creditors of the state cannot be expected, so long as they have the faintest hope of inducing her Majesty's government to take measures for the enforcement of an arrangement of the Spanish debt more equitable for the foreign holders than the pre sent, which isgenerally regarded as another barefaced attempt of the government of Spain to get out of her solemnly contracted liabilities, and as such has been received with general reprobation by all inte rested in the question both here and at Madrid. The Active Bonds have fallen to 161, and the Three per Guts. to 361. The transactions of the morning are as follows :—Danish Five per Cent. Scrip at 41 prem. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 551 and 1; exchange, 12 guilders. Peruvian Deferred, at 30, 21, and 30", Portuguese Four per Cents., at 34 and 331.

Spanish Active Five per Cents., for account, 161, 1, and ; the Three per Cents., at 361 and 1 for money, and 361 and 1 for account. - - ENOWn PUND3l.—Tsts Day. Bank Ptoet, 3r.5 74 I per Ct. Bad.

GREAT WESTERN. .„ xesterday sgecial general meeting of thi s Com pany was ha d at a Station, at Paddington, for the purpose of considering and determining the mode of raising capital requisite for the cumpletion of certain undertakings belong. ing !to and purchased by the company. The meeting was also special, to receive, consider, and determine upon matters contained in a report revisited by a resolution of the last half- yearly meeting. The CHAIRMAN (C. Breaux, Esq.), fa opening the proceedings of the meeting, said that it had been convened In ooaformity with the instructions of the last half-yearly meeting for the purposes stated in the notice, and respecting which a full report had been in the hands of the proprietors for several days. As it was not only the first in order but also in importance, he would address himself to the scheme of finance whiffle had been devised in order to raise money for the prosecution of the works of the company. That wheelie was framed on the requirements stated in the appendix to the TT port of the committee of consultation. and in which the amount to be raised, and all the purposes to which the money was to be applied was set forth. Thou proprietors who had made themselves acquainted with the financial position of the company from the report would be fully prepared for the proposition which was to be made to-day. The questions that remained were when the money was wanted, and the tunes on which it was to be raised. It was necessary on legal grenade that the directors should have from the pro prieton a power to create stock at once, but ft did not follow that the money should all be raised at the same time, but it would be spread over three or four years. Of the three and a half millions to be raised, about 600.0001. was required to pay off loan notes, debentures, end other securities, which were not to be renewed. Thera would, therefore, be no increase of capital, but only a substitution of one species of capital for another, and it would be benetiAal to the com pany, inasmuch as it would increase the paid up capital, and diminish that which was borrowed. The prin cipal portion of about two millions would be applicable to the payment for the Birmingham and Oxford and the Birmingham, Oxford, Wolverhampton, and Dudley lines. By the conditions of that purchase the company was to pay the sum agreed on six month, after the lines were finished and opened. Aasuming that that would take place in the summer or autumn of 1851 this sum of two millions would not be payable till the early part of 185/. It had been ascertained that the proprietors of those companies would not be disinclined to exchange their stock for such stock as was now proposed to be raised, and in the resolu tions of to-day powers would be taken to effect such exchange' of stock. The other million would be appli cable to tlis completion of the two northern lines to which he had adverted and for other purposes stated in the appendix to the report of the committee of consultation. That subject was much pressed by the committee, and it was obvious that it would be advantageous, as the capital expended would be unproductive till the completion of the Imes It had been intimated that in 1850, the present year, 500,000/. would be required, and, in 1851, 600,0001. In 15.52 they would have to pay two millions, and in 1853 and 1854 the remaining 600,000!. would be required for the completion of all works and operations. The directors had bestowed the greatest care and deliberation on the mode of raising this sum, and they hoped they had devised a scheme which, while it was advantageous to the persons purchasing the new stock, would tall lightly on the original shareholders. Daring the first year' the purchasers would have the advantage of re ceiving 4; per cent., and would reserve to themselves the right of exchanging their shares for " part punt" shares. It was not being very sanguine to hope that in that period a change would occur in the state and prospects of railway proprietorship. The holder of these shares, then, might thus be • specuiator without the risk of 'peculation. For the succeeding seven years the holder might either receive back his money or continue to receive a dividend of 41 per cent., and at the expiration of the 14 years he would obtain stock in perpetuity. It had been suggested that a large class of capitalists did not desire to hold stock with varying conditions, but of a fixed and immutable character. In order to meet the wishes of such persons the directors would ask the consent of the proprietors to the plan of issuing one million of fixed stock at I; per cent. without the conditions annexed to the other stock. The SECRETARY then read the report of the financial scheme to the following effect. It was proposed to raise ad ditional capital not exceeding 3,500,0001., to be applied to the completion of branch railways and the purchase of the Birmingham and Oxford, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley railways, and to pay off a portion of the ex'sting securities of the company. The capital to he issued when required, and to bear a dividend of 41 per cent., the holden to be entitled to an option within seven years from April, 1850, to exchange it for rateable stock of equal value, and the company to have the right during seven years after April, 1857, to pay off this capital at '' par" after a year's notice ; the paid up shares in the Birmingham and Oxford, and Bir mingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Companies, to be converted into this new capital to the extent of 2,000,000!., when the holders thereof may elect at the rate of 301. 51. for each of the said "hares, an option being given to the pro rietors of the Great Wotern and Wilts , Calumet, and Weymouth companies to take shares to the extent of 1,600,0001. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution in accordance with the terms of this plan. Major COCRT moved an amendment to the effect that the shareholders do confirm the propo-ition of the directors for creating an additional capital of three millions and a half on the conditions named in the scheme presented to them, but subject to this condition also, that for the due preserva tion of the interests of the prevent shareholders the whole of the additional capital be allotted in the first instance exclusively among the shareholders of the Great Western Company rateably, and in proportion to their present shares in that company, and that it should accept the whole or such pro portion of such allotment as suited their convenience, and that the amount and date of payment of the first instalment, and of the proportions and precise dates of payment of the future instalments, be specified. Mr. LORD seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said that he would assent to the amendment, as the stock was always intended to be offered in the first instance to the Gnat Western proprietors, and it I was only if the money was not got from them that they would go to other persons ; but it was only reasonable that the directors should have powers to do so. (Heat, hear.) Mr. KNAPP, the solicitor of the company, then read the clauses of the 7th Victoria, c. 3, and 9th Victoria, which made it lawful for the company to create such shares. A PROPRIETOR asked if the scheme was only an ex periment, or if it was known whether the capital would be likely to be taken up or not. He hoped the interest payable was large enough to induce persons to take up the shares, because if it was not taken in 6 months, the directors would isms preference shares at 6 per cent. to the great injury of the few persons who had taken the original shares. The CHAIRMAN said his opinion as to whether the stock would be taken in the market was not of much value, but they had every hope and belief that they would obtain the money on the terms offered. He suggested to Major Court that he should embody his amendment in the revolution. Mr. TYRRELL, a proprietor, rose to inquire if the money wu to be raised by bond or shares ; and was proceeding to make tome further obserraUons, when The CHAIRMAN informed the meeting that this gentle man was the solicitor of Mr. Mackintosh, who was engaged in a snit sgainst the company. . . Some excitement and confusion arose in the meeting, and the secretary entered into an explanation of some arcum. stances with regard to Mr. Tyrrell, and certain mitten in litigation between clients of that gentleman and the oom pany. Eventually Mr. Tyrrell did not proceed with his address to the meeting, as they appeared unwilling t 2 hear him. The resolution, embodying the amendment, was then put and carried. The CHAIRMAN said he would now proceed to the second part of the proceedings, namely, consideration of the recommendations of the committee of consultation, and the opinions of the directors with regard to those recommenda tions as expressed in the report. When that committee was appointed, the directors felt it to be important that they should concur as tar as possible with them in every question affecting the interests of the company, and to defer to their opinions, whenever they honestly could do so. At the last hall-yearly meeting, the proprietors had called on the directors to state their opinions on the recommendations of the committee. They were still desirous to act in the same spirit, and to concur is far as they could with the committee •, and they did so to a great extent. Wherever they differed the directors felt It to be their duty to rely on their own judgments and experience, and to state their honest convictions to tho pro prietors. The recommendations of the directors, and also of the committee, were now before the committee, and it was for them to determine whether they would be adopted. The latter part of the report (of which the following is en abstract) was then taken, as read : "The purchase of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway has been completed. The works are proceeding only between Westbury and Frome and Warminster ; but the completion of the branch between Frome and Itsdateck is to be completed, all other portions of the works to be post poned. No change has taken pleas in the portion of the Oxford, Worteater, and Wolverhuseton Company. The South Wake Company has been in amicable communication with the hoard to carry oat the working of the agree line between Chepstow and Swung ; but no arrange ment for the leering of that line h as been completed. The directors that the aokmate of li nes comp l ete d an d opened should be finally closed, but there must be hereafter expenditure for increased station accommodation in London and elsewhere, and for stock connected with extensions be- Wnd Oxford to the north, and beyond Gloucester into South ales; the station at Paddington being specially weakened. The consolidation of shares into stock, pursuant to resolu tion, will be carried into effect after thin half year. TY system of propertioning fares to the speed of trains ratk.sa than the class of carriages has bees partially adopted b y approximating the express fares of passengers by the two Menu The adoption of piece-work by contract last* ad of payment by daily wages the carriage deports' an t has been found to answer the purporeof economy, but it is oat considered advisable to effect all carriage repairs by one general contract. .The system of contra c t i n t h e purc h ase of stores by advertuemeat and tender has been found molt advantageous. The discontinuance of the manufacture of coke by patent ovens would cause a considerable expense instead of en annual saving. The spare la n d b e l onging to the company, where convenient for de l rd s , & c., i s so em ployed by the company or rented to persona for gene ral traffic. Small cottages are to be built at level crossings on the line where the traffic is small in order to diminish the number of policemen. With re gard to the board of management, solicitor!, general estab lishments, &a., it is stated that the appointment of managing directors was not recommended, and in consider. ing the question of the reduction of the number of directors and the ineligibility of those retiring it is recommended that the minimum number of the board should be twelve, and the continuance of the power of re-electing retiring directors Is advised. The nomination of a salaried solicitor is to be brought specially before the proprietors, and the reference of the outstanding claims of the present solicitor is proceeding. As regards the expenditure of the general establishment the report states that the experiment of the reduction of salaries ha resulted in the unsettling of the whole establishment, the officers and principal clerks have been seeking other employment, while even many whose salaries had not been reduced have also resigned. In order therefore to secure to the company an efficient and trustworthy staff of nts the directors recommend an established scale of salary, and pay as follows : Oa After 10 Maximum Appoint- years' afterl2 fire meet. aerrioe. terries. . .C 1,400 £1,400 A 1,300 . 900 1,200 1,300 Secretary General euperintendent of treats' It the atove two appointments streams Dined soperintendent toroth°Ure department 700 Sllpenatendent Citation division) Chief aorountant Chief registrar in charge of capital as 1,1100 900 _ . counts - 400 SOO 050 Manager of works at Swindon 350 4.5.) 500 Superintendent (Bristol diviaion) 3OO 400 4SO Chief storekeeper 3OO 4.0 450 Charge of estate, to Moulting or secretary's clerk CLIME..

His reason was that the report of the direc tors was only in the bands of the proprietors for a short period before the meeting, and it was utterly impossible for there living at a distance to be present or represented in voting. It was necessary that proxies should be in the office five days before the meeting, which would have been last Friday, and the report was only out on Monday. It was, in fact, die fraochnine the greatest part of the proprietary. Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion. After some discussion, in the course of which The CH.IIIIMAN urged that the delay in the settlement of this question would cause considerable inconvenience in the company's establishment, and tend to the depreciation of their interests, The sense of the meeting appearing to be in favour of the adjournment, it was so arranged. Mr. NORRIS having given a statement of the proceed ings of the committee appointed to consider the question of an audit if railway accounts, which had resulted in the in troduction of a bill into the House of Lords by Lord Stanley, and which was now under the consideration of a committee of their lordships, simultaneously with that introduced by Lord Granville, a resolution was passed postponing the con sideration of the latter part of the report to another special meeting, to be held on May 16. The meeting then separated. PORT WINE FROM DIE UNITED STATES.—TIIO liner, Wellington, from New York, has brought between four and tire hundred casks of port wine u a portion of bee cargo, consigned to a wine house in this country. and an other vessel, the Silu Greenman, arrived from New York, has brought 10 hogsheads and 99 other casks of port wine es • portion of her cargo, consigned in a similar manner. DEATH ACCELERATED BY HYDROPATIIIC TREAT.. segfer.—A coroner's inquest was held at the George•inn, Battle, Snug, on Wednesday, before Mr. N. P. Hell, coroner, to inquire as to the death of J. Slitter, aged 36, son of one of the eldest and most respectable tradesmen in that town. The attention of the inhabitants of that town and nelighbuirhood had been forcibly directed towards this case as it was currently reported that a member of the family had by his perseverance in the application of the cold water cure without medical supervision placed himself within reach of the law. From the evidence it appeared that al members of the family had been suffering from severe attacks of typhus fever, and Alfred. the brother of the deceased, had followed the hydropathic system of treatment with deceased's assistance with satisfactory results. On Alfred's recovery he had gone to Landon, and deceased, on being taken ill, sum mooed him to return to Battle to administer the same system of remedial measures—wet sheets, hot blankets,sponging with vinegar, &c. This was done perfectly to the satisfaction of both the sufferer and his attendant, who, not daunted by so formidable a symptom as the passage from the bowels of masses of coagulated blood, which indeed they considered rather favourable than otherwise, deemed medical advice unnecessary, and till a late hour on Monday night the patient was not seen by any member of the profession.— E. Holland, surgeon, Battle, deposed that at the request of some of deceased's friends he went to see him the night pre vious to his death. Found him in the last stage of the dies ease. Restoratives were prescribed, but without effect. At haltpast two on the morning of Tuesday deceased was by his own desire raised in the bed to take some tea, but the effort wes too great for his strength, and he fell back upon the pillow and expired. His opinion was, that although:in some cases the hydropathic system might be useful, it re quired great care as to its management, and that deceased died from congestiou of the intestines produced by exhaus tion attendant on the disease, and without doubt accelerated by the mode of treatment adopted. The jury returned a verdict to the above effect, adding that the " jurors censure the too indiscriminate use of the hydropathic system towards the deceased, and express their regret that medical advice and assistance were not sooner called in."

There was a great deficiency of foreign hides. German cowleather was in demand, and raw calf-skins in great de mand. The cloth fair is in every respect a very (avowable one, and would bays been more active ha! there been a larger supply of goods. Inferior and medium qualities were bought up rapidly. Great numbers of wholesale purchasers from America, Italy, Switzerland, Bavaria, and other coun tries were here, and could not obtain all they wanted,and hays generally lett large commissions. The prises are'the same aa at the New-year's fair, and some manufactsrers have obtained a trifle more. Large business his also been dote in home manufactures. For silk geode and feriegn manufactures few purchasers are hero frost the Levant or from Russia. BOROUGH MARKET.—THIS DAY. Noun.
