MONEY MARKET. (From the Morning Post.) The gloomy anticipations in which many persons were dis posed to indulge on Saturday, with respect to the commercial prospects of the country, have not, we arc happy to say, been been realised.. The amount of bills that fell due on that day was very large, and it was supposed that we should this morn ing have heard of many more failures. Such, however has not been the case. One house has been named to us as hav ing been obliged to suspend its payments, but it does not ap pear that the liabilities of the parties are extensive ; as they are known to be in some way connected with one of the American firms who failed on Thursday, their reported fall has not mate rially increased the existing alarm. We learn, moreover, this ( Monday) evening, that the rumours which have been circulated concerning them are much doubted by those who have the best means of judging of the actual state of their affairs. The failure of Messrs. Bell and Grant, and that of Messrs. Gowan and Marx, have been fully confirmed, but the two other firms whose situation has been alluded to in a somewhat ambiguous manner, seem up to ihe present time to be going on as usual. Arlvices had been received at Liverpool, Birmingham, and Manchester, of the events of Thursday and Friday last. It had become generally known at each of those places that the Bank of England had withdrawn its protection from the three American firms, viz., T. Wilson and Co., G. Wildcs and Co., and T. Wiggin and Co., and that the whole of them had in consequence stopped payment, but the announcement did not produce anything like the excitement that most people had expected. The position of these houses was understood to be so extremely critical that all who were interested in the result had doubtlese prepared theinselves for the worst. The Cotton Market at Liverpool was comparatively brisk again on Satur day, and no failures were reported. We understand that the affairs of Messrs. Thomas Wilson and Co. will be wound up under the superintendanc yof four trustees, all of whom are eminent merchants in the city. We shall be glad to learn that the same mode of liquidation is resorted to in the case of each of the other two houses. It will be less tedious, less expen sive, and in every way more to the interest of the creditors, and of the firms themselves, than the unpleasant alternative of a bankruptcy. The securities given to the Bank of England for their advances to these several concerns do not exceed 920,0001. They have been erroneously stated to be very con siderably more ; ae much, in fact, as 1,300,0001. MESSRS. THOMAS WILSON AND COMPANY.

The statement of the concerns of the house was laid before the meeting as submitted to the Bank on the Ist inst. This statement had been ful'y and carefully investigated by Mr. Bates and a Committee cf the Bank cf England, and Mr. Bates stated to the meeting that in forming this state ment the parties had directed their attention to the property of the house in existence, and capable to be realized. The following resolutions were severally moved and unani mously adopted by the meeting. " That it is the opinion of this meeting it v;ili be for the interest of the creditors that the partners in the firm of Thos. Wilson and Co. should proceed to realise the pr:Terty as quickly as practicable, and that a payi-ocnt may be made to the creditors at a very early period.

" That it is the opinion of this meeting that if time be afforded, and !roper measures adopted in the liqui , .l4tion of the concerns of the house--th-t there is ample property to meet all claims on the house—and to leave a considerable surplus. ‘• That, in opinion of this tmetinfy, the liquidation of the concerns of the house should be contith.d to the partners, under tie inspection of four of the creditors ; and that a pro per deed should he prepared for the signature of the creditors, contai..ing the provisions usually introduced into deeds of a similar nature. That John Horsley Palmer, Esrt., Jol,bul Bates, Esq., Gc6rge Carr Glyu, Esq., and Julia Under,1 7 .51., should iu requested to become inspector , , and that in tl:e moan:ime they undertake that duty, and zdrord their advice altd assist ance to the partners.

About 1,000 of them are out of employ, many of whom are husbands and fathers of families. A meeting of the operatives was held on Wednesday, when it was agreed to appoint a deputation to wait on the Mayor upon the subject. On Friday morning, after the town hall business had been gone through, the Mayor granted an audience to the deputies ; and, from the questions put by his Worship, it appeared that the handloom weaving trade is so bad that, when in employ, it requires a man to work twelve or four teen hours a day to earn 4s. or ss. a week. The de puties suggested the opening of a public subscription, but the Mayor thought that no fund could be raised suflicient to meet the evil ; he therefore advised the men to apply to the se veral. townships to which they respectively belonged. It was ultimately agreed to call a public meeting upon the abject in a few days. One of the gentlemen upon the bench .rged upon the deputation the necessity of seeking some other irnployment, as handloom weaving would never again be a means of livelihood on which either married or single ought to depend. We have heard that the r;um produced by the Spital fields Weavers' Ball, after deduction of the amount requisite for the liquidation of the necessary cxpenstr , , will be some where about 0001. A writer in the Scotsman of Saturday last proveo by a chain of powerf'ul argument that the oath with which Catholic Emancipation was clogged ought not to be imposed. Several cases of cholera have lately appeared at Naples. In the letters stating this fact, which arc dated the 13LL of last month, a hope is expressed that a change in the state o: the weatLer, which was then very ungenial, would check the progress of the disorder. 1 4 DICES OF STOCKS THIS .eank .7;txlc. .... ............

In the House or Lords yesterday the Marquis of LANs- DOWNE stated in reply to Lord MAL:.!ESBURY, that he be lieved a Bill, founded upon the Report made by the Tithes Commutation Committee, would be soon introduced. The Report on the Dul Police Bill was postponed till Thursday. Lord Bp.ounll.km called attention to the mode of con ducting Lusincss in Parliament. The Learned and Noble Lord went at. considerable length into the state of hnsiness in the House of Lords, ard, as connected with it, the state of business in the other House, to which he chiefly, if not entirely, traced the evil of which he complained. " The amount of that mischief (said his Lordship) can be stated in a sentenec. The House of Lords has set four or five months, and during that time they have done little or nothing." After a discussion which occupied the remainder of the sitting, the Committee moved for by Lord fle.ounllAm " to inquire into and consider the state of busim?ss before the House" was appointed. Their Lordships then at eight o'clock adjourned. In the ilGuse of Co„ ,coons, .Jtcr the rrescntation of pe titions and the trans:lc:ion of private business, the AT- TonNEY-GLNERAL pos:poned t:11 Friday his mntion o❑ the pri% ileges of the Horse. Lord J. RussELL postponed his motion for a Select Committee an Church Leases till Monday next. On the motion for the House resolving itselF into Com mittee, on the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill; Mr. T. ATT NT 00 0, without any notice whatever, made an exceedingly lom; sr.ce4, occupying three whole hours in the delivery, on 11,f., .s. , bject of the commercial state of the country. He ladc:l by rno‘ing the following amendment :—" That in the Trillion of that House the Fesent system of cur rency was not alicient to meet the wants and protect the interests of the community." Lord J. RUSSELL declined entering. into a discussion tivis forced en the Hous.2. The reso:atien, tea, of the'Mcrutzr for Birmingham was inconsistent with Arts of PerliamQnt, and wi h solemn resolutions of that Ilense, which had been afrined after various debates. After a few herds from other ilon,. Members, and Mr. ATTWOOD still persisting- in prci;sing- his motion to a divi sion, the re':olt was seen in a majority of 61 against it. Ti:e Ilcuse then went into Comroitice on the Poor Re lief (Ireland) Bill, and proceeded as far as the 48th clause. Lord BnouciTt Am, last night, called the attention of the tlcnse of Lords to the state of the public busi ness in the two Houses of Parliament, and moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the subiect, with a view to find out some means of remedying the evils of the present system. These evils are, we believe, gene rally acknowledged ; and if they are not, any persons who require to be enlightened as to this point cannot do better than peruse the, with a slight exception, ex cellent speech of the Noble and Learned Lord, of which our limitecl space will allow us to givCbut a slig,ht notice. The Noble Lord commenced his speech by alluding to a fact, the hare mention of which is sufficient to im press upon the most unthinking mind the conviction that it could arise only out of an erroneous system of conducting the Parliamentary business. "We have been sitting here," said Loed BROUGHAM, " be twecn four and five months, and have clone nothing— or next to nothing." That the mode of doing business which produces such a result must he bad, we repeat, cannot admit of a doubt. And the question is, where lies the blame. Lord BROUGHAM seems to think it rests entirely with the House of Commons. We cannot, wo own, go quite so far as this. We do most certainly demur to the conclusion that the Lords are guiltless of retarding the public bu siness, when we find that the most important measure of the Session, the Irish Corporation Bill, after pas sing the Commons, was laid upon their Lordships' table six weeks ago, and has lain there undisturbed ever since. With this enormous fact before the public, it is not easy to see on what ground Lord BROUGHAM could say, " he should be guilty of a gross breach of 'can dour if he was not at once to admit that if their Lordships were to take the course which it was gene rally understood they intended to take—if they postponed their decision upon the measures which Might come from the House of Commons in the course of the next six weeks or two months—he should be doing injustice to their Lordships if he (lid not at once admit that the fault was not at the door of their Lordships, but at other doors:" Who the o:hers are to whom Lord BROUGHAM here alludes we cannot be at any loss to know, as we find the Noble and Learned Lord, a little farther on, ani madverting severely on the inconsistency of those who hold the House of Lords to be a co-ordinate branch of the Legislature with the House of Commons, " and who, nevertheless, resting their faith on that doc trine,took such precautions as made it absolutely—he was going to say physically—impossible that that House of Parliament should exercise any one of those func tions which they say are, as the law now stands, its just and lawful attributes. Because to crowd into three or four weeks the measures which ought to take three or four months.at least., gx." Now we may be per mitted to ask, whose fault it is that the measures which require months for consideration are crowded into weeks? Whose fault is it that the Irish Municipal Bill, which we mentioned before, is postponed until there is no time for its consideration ? Lord BROUGHAM says he cannot blame the conduct of the Lords in this case. In our view the Lords, and they alone, are to blame, and the more so because they attempt to screen themselves under the shallow pretence that they rniist have certain other Bills before them, be fore they can come to a conclusion upon this—a principle which if once admitted would justify them in refusing to commence the cxei eise of their Legislative powers un til the Commons had concluded theirs. It will bP. seen from the Parliamentary report, that owing to the pressure of other business, Lord JoHN RUSSELL has postponed till Monday his motion for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the mode of leasing Bishops' lands. It is greatly to be regretted that any other business should be allowed to interfere with such an important measure. There certainly is no other English question before the House of half the importance, and as it is desirable that a thorough investigation should take place, and a speedy report be made, we cannot see why it should be delayed for one day, much less for one week. No doubt the Bishops, who are opposed to all inquiry, will be pleased by such a mode of proceeding, and in dulge the hope that the evil day may yet be put off for another Session ; but in this instance, as in most others, what is gratifying to that body is the very re verse to the great mass of the community, and for that reason the Government ought to urge on the question, and convince the people that they are not to be pre vented from doing an act of justice by the interested opposition of fifteen Bishops. The public mind has been greatly misled on this subject by the Church— the people have been taught to believe that some sa crilegious attempt was to be made on property set apart for the maintenance of the Established Religion—and that their Churches were tO 13e allowed to go to decay to gratify the Dissenters and Roman Catholics. A seal thing enquiry will open the eyes of all who are not wilfully • blind. The Bishops know this, and therefore oppose the Government with all the violence and rage of men whose -deeds will not bear the light. Even within the short period that the measure has been before Parliament, numerous dis closures have been made of the alienation of Church property in the sees of Canterbury, London, and Win chester, and it is but fair to assume that the Bishops and Deans in the other dioceses have not been slow to follow the example. If they have not, then enquiry will only prove their innocence. Nothing•short of a full investigation now will satisfy the public, and we have too much confidence in the judgment of Lord MELBOURNE to believe that he will consent to delay or disappoint his best supporters from any fear of in creasing the hostility of a party who already hate the Government with a pure and perfect hatred. The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have been received. As the King of the FRENCH, accompanied by the QUEEN, Princes, and Princesses, the Duke and Duchess of ORLEANS, and the King and Queen of the BELGIANS, was to make his solemn entry into Paris at two o'clock on Sunday, from FontaineLleau, the journals are ailed with details of the preparations made to receive him, and to do honour to the alliance entered into by the most hopeful branch of the House of Orleans. It was, however, evident from the precautions taken by the authorities that the KING is not yet free from an apprehension of the chances of assassination. Besides a strong escort, the avenues leading to the were to be guarded by twenty-four thousand troops under arms, exclusive of the police. FLIP: of the Liberal Journals, and particularly the Nonv . elie Minerve, ridicule the ceremony with which whatever relates to the royal marriage is conducted. Some of the bitterest sarcasms are obliquely directed atlainst the young Duchess of ORLEANS. The fol -1 extract e Lact from the journal in question is rather a piquant specimen : " Let us speak with sincerity of the new Duchess of Or -Sheis better than we at first beliercd ; her carriage is amiable, her smile very spirituelle ; but whet we admire least is tint which does not so well become a bride pure and simple—it is an r,ir &gage', and even bordering on confidence. We have visited the German family of the North—thaedo mastic roof so simple—and we could have desired to have found in the Princess something of that shrinking timidity whiell so weli beccmcs a young lady approaching the hymeneal aLir. It is said that the Duchess of Orleans is tres spirituelle ; so much the better, no doubt. The courtiers even go so far als to say that she will acquire the ascendancy over the Prince Royal, which would he a great blessing, one on which we should con gratulr;.te ourslves. Every one sho!Ad remain, in his place : if the Dociv , ss of Orleans had a mission to preach political emn cirtion for her sex (like a certain petitioner to the Chamber of Deputies), Madame de Mauchanaps would no longer be the only promoter of her system-„-she would find a powerful sup port, in an example coming from co exalted a personage as her Royal highness. But our French so c i e ty a d m i ts on l y the sweet and :nodest influence of the fair sex. It is necessary that the gentlemen courtiers should be on their guard in be stowing sonorous and patriotic compliments upon the Duchess of Orleans. They do not sufficiently appreciate I'esprit and virginal timidity of the bride. Professions of political faith should be reserved for the Chamber of Deputies." This is very ungallant—vers unjust towards the fair lady whose possible conduct is thus made indirectly an object of ridicule and censure. It will be time enough to prescribe the limits within which the Duchess may exercise her influence, without offence to political par tizanship, when she shall have given some proof of a political bias. As yet her Highness is innocent of any intermeddling in the affairs of the country which she has adopted, and we trust for her own sake she will long remain so. The continuation of the article in the Minerve is, however, much more important, as well as less objectionable on the score of taste. Our readers will find the revelations it contains worthy of attention : leans Two other matters have been observed at Fontainebleau. First, tle grand Chancellerie of M. Pasquier and the ab sence of the Amb,,ssadors. We have long since announced this double episode. The affair of M. Pasquier has been de creed new a rear. The death of Charles X. decided the question. Our readers are aware that according to the ancient monarchical usages the powers of the Chancellor were re voked by the death of the King ; therefore the death of Charles X. extinguished the powers of the Marquis de Pas toret, Chancellor under the restoration. It is true that Henry V., the King of the Legitimates, confirmed the powers of M. de Pastoret, and, it is even said, gave the successorship to his son, Le Comte Amedee ; but in considering the King of the French as only simple Regent of the kingdom, it is ne cessary he should have a Chancellor, and therefore the scruples of M. Pasquier have been easily suppressed. He is Chan cellor, awl the intimacy in tshich he lives with M. Mole, and the circumstance of the marriage, have hurried the accomplishment of a desire which has been a long time un derstood to have existed. The robe of the Chancellery is per fected. The palace of the Luxembourg is at the disposition of Monseigneur; throughout the titles are established. It is a pilot balloon, as were the Bills for the apanages in a certain manner to restore the majorats. We have likewise announced that the corps diplontatigut would not have assisted at the - - marriage—were we again in error? It is necessary to say, that the courtiers insinuated beforehand that the entire corps diplomatique had solicited the honour of apartments in the Chateau, and that the functionaries who had the disposal of them were at a loss to whom to give tickets, in so great re quest were they by the Ambassadors, Ministers, and we know not how many other members of the corps diplomatique. At the same time the Ambassadors were sounded in private con. versations to ascertain how they would act in regard to the official invitations sent from the Chateau ; excuses arrived from all quarters, and this well merits come details. The corps diplomatique at Paris is divided into two fractions very distinct, the Continental Alliance and the English. In the midst of these two grand divisions come what is called the powers of the second order and intermediators, such as Naples, Sardinia, Wurtemburg, Bavaria, and Saxony. What astonished the most was the absence of Lord Granville and all embassy. It cannot be said but that England ac knowledged sincerely and definitively the Royalty of Louis Phillip, but the absence on the present occasion is to be attri buted to other circumstances. The Whigs are much discontented at our diplomacy in re gard to the treaty of the quadruple alliance. It is recollected that in 1830 it was only by Lord Granville they swore at Paris ; he had the most flattering reception at the chateau, he was styled the Saviour. Since we are become very cold and uncommunicative. Lord Granville is no longer received with the same kindness, and is no longer in the con fidence of the Court. The accounts from the north of Spain are rather avourable to the Constitutional cause. Letters from Governor of Saragossa of the 28th ult., announce departure of General BUERENS from that city, at :he head of 5,000 troops, to assume the command of IRRIBA RREN'S division. An additional force of 2,000 mcn were to follow him in a day or two. IRRI BA RREN received a musket shot in the thigh, and was wounded in the body with a lance while attack ing Huesca, varich, unfortunately, proved m or t a l. The Carhsts had eight hundred men wounded on that occasion. Th.: same letters state, that three hundred Navarese deserters, from the ranks of Don CARLOS, had entered Saragossa, and that whole companies were preparing to desert from him, in consequence of his not marching upon Madrid, whither he had promised to lead them.

But the aisathy of ESPARTERO, who i. moving at a snail's pace towards Catalonia, renders it doubtful whether the Christinos will profit as much as they might by the dissensions existing in the ranks of the Pretender. The demon of procrastination para lyses every project of the QUEEN'S Generals. The following extracts include whatever else is of any interest in these Journals : " A letter from St. Sebastian of the 27th of May, pub lished by the Journal of La Guyenne, says, ' Generals Evans and Chichester are going to England, and the Legion is re duced to 2,000 men.'—Gazette de France. " News from Madrid of the 28th has been received. The city was tranquil, and to the list (unhappily too long) of the provinces disturbed by the insurgents, the Echo produces another, which proves that the greater part of Spain still en. joys tranquillity. That paper says " The most perfect tranquillity and order continues to prevail in the provinces of Alicant, Avila, Cadiz, Jaen, Lyons, Malaga, Bilboa, Valencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Scorble, So ria, and Zamora.' " It was reported at Madrid that an important command was to be given to the brave General Narvaez, who has been for some time in disgrace. It is perhaps intended to send him to succeed the brave and unfortunate Irribarren. A letter from Pampeluna of the 27th of May says--" That in the battle of Huesca it was the auxiliary French Legion that repulsed the Carlists with the bayonet : it was under its protection that our cavalry was able to sally." General Conrad was wounded, but so slightly, that he took the command of the army after Irribarren was wounded. The latter wished immediately to give up the command to General Conrad, who, however, out of delicacy, fearing to wound the national pride, caused General Buerens to be placed in that post. Irribarren is worse ; the first dressing was to be taken off. The surgeons, however, do not despair of saving him. Eight Carlist prisoners say they had on their side above 500 men killed and wounded.—Le Commerce. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships sat to day in a Committee of Privileges.

Great fears were enter tained by the commercial com munity and monied interest that yesterday would have been a day for numerous failures among the American merchants, as well as at Liverpool and Manchester. 'We are happy, however, to state that our City croakers have been disap pointed, and that only one failure, scarce worth mention ing, occurred during the whole of yesterday. Still we must observe that the extent of the mischief accruing from the recent failures of the great American houses cannot be exactly ascertained from the various parts of the country until Thursday or Friday next. The general expectation is, that it will not extend to the degree that 'was at first an ticipated —more particularly if we may judge from the ac counts published by the three great American houses of the state of their affairs, by which it is proved that each of them, after paying their creditors in full, will have great balances in their favour. This morning we arc again very tranquil in the city, and ,he funds are buoyant. THE FUNDS Consols, which cl ose d yesterday. at 91 for the opening, may at present be quoted 91i 1 for the Account.

LT. n KELLY RAILWAY AND DOCK COMPANY. Yesterday a highly respectable meeting of the Proprie tors of the above Company was held at the London Tavern ; R. BIDDULPII, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, said—Gentlemen, the first duty we have to perform is for the advertisement conven ing the meeting to be read, after which the Report, informing you of what we have done during the last year shall be read to you. J. Bien, Esq., Secretary, then read the advertisement and the Report, of which the following is an extract:— " The Committee stated last year they had well-founded reasons for concluding, that on completing the Railway into the stone coal district large quantities of produce would be brought &win and handsome returns realized, that the busi ness on the existing short branch of two miles had increased, and was, by a comparative statement, much augmented : and the line had been set out for one or two contracts ; and that the land required for these contracts had in most instances been agreed for at moderate prices. " That the iron rails, chains, stone blocks, oak sleepers, &c., with the cuttings of the embankment had been contracted for under the original estimates, the conclusion of which was that a considerable saving could be effected.—( Hear, hear.) " Since last year, two, additional shipping stages had been constructed on the most improved principle, making together six stages for shipping, so that more extensive accommodation might be had for the increasing number of vessels resorting to the dock. " That the great and indisgenshble desideratum to the success of trade in and out of the dock and harbour, viz. : an efficient towing vessel, has been provided, that a strong and powerful vessel Las been built for the Company at Gravesend, and which will be launched to-morrow (this day). " That eon'tracts have been entered into for the cutting em bankments and general formation of the main line, fir 12 miles and 34 chains, commencing at the dock at Llanelly and termi nating at Duffryn Lodge, thus fully entering into the district abounding with stone coal. A branch leading from the main line to Cwym Amman, and terminating at the Gerry Garnant Collieries, is being levelled and reported upon—the contract of which will be let in the course of one month from this time. The Committee see no reason for varying the conclusion which they had previously formed, that the entire works for the nineteen miles, which will make the Railway complete for traffic, will be completed by Midsum mer, 1838.—(Hear, hear.) That already 77,773 tons of coal had been brought down the Railway, and a great part shipped on the Dock, and additional pits were about to be opened by the Llangenneth Coal Company, &c.,:with the opening of va rious other collieries belonging to Mr. Bruen and Mr. Lewes, one of which works 20,000 tons annually. The Committee have also ascertained that iron can be smelted with stone coal, and that parties are about to erect iron' works in the neigh bourhood of the Company's property—(Hear, hear)—which, with the quantity of mineral to be found in this part of the Principality will greatly increase the revenue of the company, added to tee great and increasing demand for coal in Llanelly; and further, that the profit upon the two miles of the line now completed, leaves a considerable balance in favour of the Com pany on:such;small retures." A financial statement of the Company's affairs was then laid before the meeting, when it appeared there was a balance in hand of 647/. 13s. 5d., and lastly the Committee congratulated the Proprietors upon the rapid progress of the works and the certain completion under the estimated expense, whilst the actual as well as the pros pective returns of revenue are equal to and in conformity with the calculations previously made. The CHAIRMAN—Ia the report tee have endeavoured to set forth everything which we have done since our last meeting. In that statement you will perceive we have purchased a steam boat, which is to be launched to-morrow, and which we have found necessary, in consequence of the numerous accidents that occur in making the harbour up the long Channel. We have felt it our duty to build this seesel for the purpose of as sisting ships to conic into dock, which they ar e o ft en p reven t e d from doing for a long period, in consequence of the adverse winds, and which is also often attended with great risk.— ( Hear. ) Should any proprietor wish to make an observation, or ask a question, we shall be happy to give every information in our power. No one replying to this request, Admiral WHITE rose and moved that "The Report be re ceived, printed, and circulated for the Proprietors." Mr. ALLEN—In seconding the resolution I iseg to ask if the tug vessel is to bo paid for by any other means, or to be charged to the Company ?—( Hear, bear.) The CHAIRMAN—I must say that I think eventually it will not be a charge to the Company, for I believe it will be the source of raising a revenue for the Company.—( Hear, hear.) We propose that those vessels which do not enter our dock shall be charged a tonnage fur towing them up the channel. Admiral WHITE—What is the amount of the dock dues at present received ? The CHAIRMAN replied it was 3311. 12s. Mr. S. BARBER—I wish to be informed whether in the balance sheet there is any sum put down as a remuneration to the Directors for their services ? The CHAIRMAN—No; we felt under existing circumstances we should not at present receive any remuneration. —( Cheeis.) Mr. 'F. SHEAVELL—I think, with the Hen. Proprietor lelio has introduced the subject, that some remuneration shocid be voteci to the Directors.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Hien—l thiak we should not cell upon the valuable time and talents of the Directors to einem: to the interests of the Company without giving them some remuneration. lam a friend to economy, and 1 approve of the spirit of economy which has regulated the actions of those gentlemen. I will propose then the question be referred to a Committee. The CHAIRMAN--In giving my own opinion, I believe I speak that of the Directors generally, that we have no wish to be a charge upon the Company—( Cheers)—for what we have done. We feel that so many shares not having keen taken up as we had expected, the funds of the Company have been circumscribed, and our progress has not been so rapid as we might have wished. We must, therefore, decline any remuneration. Not long since an engineer visited the scene of our operation when he observed, we should have 500 men at work. If this gentleman had informed himself still further, he would hare learnt, 500 men could not have been procured in the whole country. Had it been possible we should have had them, and our progress would have been proportionably rapid.—( Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. CLIVE—I am to understand the Report will be printed ? J. Sits, Esq.—That is in the hands of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN—The resolution embraces that point. W. BLOUNT, Esq.—l wish to refer the meeting to the balance of 747/. e as a member of the Committee of Auditors, I have gone through the Company's accounts, and can assnre the meeting the books of the Association are kept in a manner which reflect the highest credit upon their Secretary.— (Hear, hear.) I will also draw your attention to the econo mical mode in witieh the whole of the Company's works have been carried on. In the whole progress of Railway Companies, there is not one whose outlay has, like this Company's, been in every instance beneath the original estimate.—( Hear, hear.) If we revert back to the commence ment of the last year, when these speculations were sought after with avidity, our's, among others, was not neglected ; and had the Directors wish e d, th ey might have forced their shares, like those of other Companies, to a premium ; for no Company, when the ground of their success was ma de clear, offers a better chance of successful working and profitable return than this.—( Hear, hear.) Our outlay has in every instance been beneath the Parliamentary estimate—(Cheers)—and I have no doubt but that we shall show a better face on its completion than many others which at present bear a high premium in the market, but which are gradually sinking to their proper level.—( Hear, hear.) The favourable situation of our line, communicating with matey large Coal Mines, the town of Landillo Vaur, Esc., with the fact that we shall not expend one half of our nominal capital, will insure to us a double return of interest over the original calculation.— (Hear, hear.) The Chairman has stated to you the advan tage of the steam-vessel which is just built, to be used as a tug-boat, and which I have no doubt will be a source of great profit to the Company, for vessels which were formerly de tained by contrary winds during a period in which they might make the voyage to the Mediterranean and back, will now be towed out of dock and down the Channel, let the wind be in what quarter it may.—(Hear, hear.) I will now propose that this surplus—which, according to the calculation I have made, will be about 3 per cent. upon the subscribed capital—of 740/. be divided in the form of a dividend. So that when the remaining shares are taken, and the amount of calls due paid up—which will no doubt be done before the completion of the line— we shall all stand in the same position.—( Hear, hear.) I will therefore now move—" That a dividend of Three per Cent. be declared upon the present subscribed capital, to be paid on the 10th July next." Mr. JOHN SHEWELL seconded the resolution. Mr. ALLEN was opposed to the resolution. He felt it would be bettor to wait another year. After some desultory conversation, the motion was unani mously carried. The election of Mr. Sims as a member of the Committee was then confirmed. A vote of thanks was now passed to the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, observed that he had lately made a visit to that portion of the country through which the line of railway passed, and had made some calculation of the advantage it would be, not only to the subscribers, but to the public, by the conveyance of coal to the metropolis, where they would find an excellent market for its sale, and by com peting with the Newcastle collieries reduce the price of coal, FO that the consumer would be a great gainer, without injury to any one, and the conveyance of it a great profit to the Corn pany.—(Cheers.) .11014•SMINNII A bung man was charged on Thursday with h av i ng assault'bd and kissed a young woman. It appeared that the complartant had been sent by a friend, Mrs. Small, to Shirley, to exe4te some commission for her, and that while proceeding on her way, the defendant, in spite of her resistance, attempted to kiss her, and actually perpetrated the offence on a second attempt.
