The profits for the last twelve month., it appeals, have amounted to 51,0561. The undivided amount of profit, up to the 31st of December last, was 58,3591. In the foreign exchanges for this mail there was a better demand for bills on most of the continental cities, but the rates CAD scarcely be said to have varied from those which ruled on Friday. The advice* received from the various continental bourses, to-day, pr. sent no feature requiring particu lar comment. At Brunets and Antwerp the national hinds were wall maintained, with the Five per Cents, 1848, tending upwards. The accounts from Amster dam have not come to hand to-day. Konigsber,r letters of the 28th ult. state that the demand for wheat bad almost subsided, bat prices were not lower. Rye was in good request, at pro rious rates.

In flax nothing was doing, and although the first parcels had arrived, priers were not yet fixed; 5,000 theta. linseed had been done at 27 R. for August, but Mor shaosky was held at 28 R. The low rates of freight had siren rise to a few transactions in wheat at 224 to 234 R , and in rye at 12 R. Kips were firm, and not to be had under 63c. for 10 and 11 lb. In exemplification of the beneficial working of oar ptesent navigation laws, it is stated that three English vessels had been taken up to load for the United Sates at 15 dole. for hemp, and 10 dols. for manufactured goods.

Letters from Galati of the 18th May complain of the want of animation in the grain market, which was depreessil beyond all precedent at this season of the year. The disinclination to operate became every day more apparent, and would have caused a reduc tion in prices, but these were kept up by the arrivals of chartered vessels, for which cargoes have to be pro- vided, whilst the stocks continue low, and could not be estimated at Galati and Ibraila above 40,000 kilos. wheat, 9,000 kilos. old and new maize, 6,000 kilos. rye, and 3,600 kilos. barley. The last prices paid were 225. 10d. to 245. for middling and gold light wheat, and 15s. Bd. to 18s. 7d. for good maize per quarter, f. o. b. Rye and barley were without ic quiry, and prices nominal. Freight to England was quoted 7s. 91. per quarter for wheat, with plenty of tonnage. Exchstlps on London was firm at 941 to 951 for three months. _ _ _ At Odessa, two Austrian vessels had been chartered to load wheat and linseed for Great Britain at Os. 9d. sad 7s. per quarter ; and one Prussian of 433 tons at 455. per ton T., with 10 per cent. additional if to the continent. The exchan 6 e on London wee quoted 2,1971 to 2,200. The arrival of the steam ship Niagara puts us in pos session of direct accounts from New York to the 22d May, and by electric telegraph to the 24th idem. The commercial advice', generally, are rather more encouraging than they have been of lats. At New York the cotton market had been variously affected, and the last accounts from Liverpool had not strength ened the hands of holders, who could not effect sales without making sumo alight concession in price, which, however, there was no disposition to grant. The total receipts at all the shipping porta show a &- crease of 027,813 bales as compared with list year. Scotch iron was difficult of sale at 181 to 19 dollars ; English iron was quoted 35 to 331 dole.

A special general meeting of this compan y was held yesterday an th e B oar d- room of the Great weeters En' way, at the Peddingtor- station , to take into considera tion a bill for enabling the &all Wades Railway Compeer to make • new railway is the Forget of Than, in lien of the railway already authorised, and to make certain alteration's is the line and levels, and the mode of sweeten non of their railway, and for other puppies. The Hon. Mr. Talbot, chairman of the board of directors, was in tke chair, and having Welly stated the objects of the meeting, as moved the adoption of the s . "' ' 0 - Hunt, the solicitor of the cowpony. explrieed i•s pros.eonns. Major COURT said that the ninth article of the ogres reat between the Great Western sad dettleash Wales cons raser romrendend Is Neseemry se easels t ie epaey to any sherries or &elides in the South Wales line, which required fr es h parliamentary powers. He begged to ask whether that preliminary step had been t a ke n ? The CHAIRMAN r e pli e d th at t h e consent of the Great .iitudes Western Company to the bill bad been applied for a month sins*, but no formal answer had yet been received. H. bad no reason to believe, however, that their consent would be withheld, for the clauses of the bill to which objections were made had been expunged. Lord , i9harneliffe's act required that the bill should be approved of by the South Wales pro prietors, but the d:rectors would not prase forward the bill in parliament, unless a favourable answer were received hem the Gnat Western Company. At the suggestion of Mr. WILLTAWS, a resolution was passed, expression the opinion of the meeting that the bill should not be passed into law until the consent of the Great Western Company had been obtained ; and the original reso lution was then carried without opposition. The Rev. Mr. SPENCER moved the adoption of a peti tion to parliament, complaining of the treatment of the South Wales Company by the Great Western, with especial reference to the conduct of Mr. C. Russell, at one period chairman of the boards of both oompanies. It an ruled by the CHAIRMAN that Mr. Spencer's motion could not be s r•tertaioed at that meeting. In reply to the question. of proprietors it was mentioned that the negotiations which have been pending since the last half-yearly 'sieving between the two ccmpanies are at length definitively broken off, the chairman stating that the terms proposed Ey the Great Western Company were such that be should resign his post rather than accept them. The business of the meeting having been concluded, the proprietors separated with • vote of thanks to the chairman. GREAT NORTH or ENGLAND. —On Monday, the 3rd instant, especial general meeting of the shareholders in this company took place at the office in Darlington, for the purpose of c,nsiderin: a bill (as amended by the committee thereon in the House of Commons) intituled, "An Act to amend 'the Great North of Eegl■nd Railway Purchase Act, 1846.' and to enable the York, Newcarple ant Berwick Railway Company, to complete the purchaee of the said railway." There was a loge attendance of the shareholders present, Mr. Plews, chairman of the board of directors, pre siding. A letter from Mr. J. G. Hubbard, the chairman of the special committee appointed to arrange tile purchase with the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company, having been read, pointing out a modification of the hill to which the committee had assented, a resolution approving of the bill was unanimou4y carried, and the meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the London committee and to the chair man. SHROTSHIRS UNION RAILWAYS AND CANAL COMPANY. —SHREW/ISt:IT, Tt Sz•DAY.—An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Lion Hotel, this day, for the purptee of cot sidering and approving or disapproving of a bill now pending in the Hue 01 Lords, entitled, " An act to authorise the abandonment of part of the undertaking of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Cumpsny, and for other purposes " At a late meeting of the company the direct( rs laid a bi 1 before the sherehddere, which wag sanctioned, on the condition that the calls should be limited to 61. 10e. In the committee of the House of Commons, however, the promoters of the act increased the calls to 101.—the London and North-Western Company not guaranteeing any dividend on the additional 31. 10s. Heti Pawls, the chairmen of the board of directors, presided, and atter a report had been read by the directors, setting forth that the bill would not be proceeded with it it were iouod to compromise the existing agreement between this company nod the London and North.W, stern, a three hours' discussion to , k pl ice, which resulted in a motion approving of the bill, subject to such altersons as may be made therein by parliament, being carried by a majority of 59 against 21, the number of shareholders present. A poll was demanded, when there appeared (including proxies) for the resolution 24,309, against it 2,503. The directors are therefore empowered to proceed with the bill. I: is said, however, that they will be strongly opposed by the dis sentient shareholders. Diaxy,i 181, iTAP/PORDSHIRE. AND WORCESTERSHIRE. —Yesterday a special meeting of this company was held at the offices in Gresham Climbers, Basinghalletreet, for the reception of the report of the directors.—Mr. Alston took the chair, and congratulated the shareholders on the success of the taxation in respect to the late solicitor's bills of costs, the total deductions from which would make a difference of about 17,0001. in favour of the company. He thought great credit was due to his worthy 'fiend, Mr. Harris, (or the courage which he had shown in this matter, and he hoped other companies that had been so grossly overcharged would adopt the plan of taxation so courageously pursued by Mr. Harris, and which had terminated so auccceutully for this com pany.—Mr. G. Ledger (the auditor) moved, and Mr. Harris seconded the reception of the report. That document stated: " That the taxation of the bill of coats of Mr. J. A. Mac gregor, late solicitor of the But and West Junction Railway Company, amalgamated with this company, had been closed, and the Ream I result was that, from the amount of the bill delivered, 2,1161. 165., there had been taxed off 1,3861.15 s sd. The costs of the company in the Chancery suit were 1861.75. 64., and the costs of taxation 461. 6s. lld. The special case in Mr. Serrell's action had not yet come on for argument before the Citric of Common Pleas, but it was set down and would in all probability be determined during the present term. The taxation of the numerous bills of eats of the late elicitor, Mr. W. A Bainbrigge, had terminated so far as regards the charges therein objected to by the direc tor', and the amount of cash paid to acid for him has also been proved to the satisfaction of Philip Martineau, Etc., the taxing maitre. The total amount of such bills of costa, as delivered in, was 23,9001. Os. 7d., and the sum taxed off, 15,6911.65. 74.; difference, 8,2081. 14s. The balance due to the company from Mr. Bainbeigge was 2,3591. 15s. 2d. In addition to which he would have to pay the costs of taxation, amounting to a csnaiderable sum. The directors promise to mske every exertion to secure the realisation of this sum, but allude to threatened resistance on the other side."— The report was agreed to unanimously.—A yore of thanks was then passed to the chairman and directors; who were requested:to continue their services in favour of the company. —The meeting then adjourned. THE MONUMENT TO WORDSWORTIL—We do not find that the committee for the erection of a monument to the late Mr. Wordsworth is proceeding with any great mo tility. It is said that the body is too large for any speedy or combined movement, and such seems to be the tact. It consists of some eighty or one hundred individu a ls, o f va rious grades and employments—peers, politicians , placemen, painters, poem, and prose's. We do net learn that they have yet Add any regular meeting ; although the two sacra. Caries, Messrs. Boxalt and Coleridge, !see taken some steps in order to collect persons who would forward the undertak ing. On the other hand, we learn that more than one sculptor has already seat in his name as a candidate for employment, without, of course, receiving any answer, be anies there teems to be nobody inclined, or perhaps qualified, to decide on such claims. What we recommend is, that some half-dozen men of business habits, as wed as of literary and artistic attainments, should be selected from the main body of the committee in order to take decisive measures for sceomplishing the object. If necessary, they can, at any time, resort to the unwieldy general mass for instructions and information.—Atheehruns. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT BIRKENUEAD.—The circumstances attending this case were reported in the Daily News of yesterday. the inquest was held on Monday after noon, before H. Churton, Esq.
