.----- - OPENIN G OF THE BEDFORD BRANCH OF THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) After the train, which consisted of 33 carriages, drawn by two engines, left Bletch le y , the weather _ began to lower, and as the train proceeded, showers of rain fell, which continued until it arrived at Bedford. The journey was performed in three-quarters of an hour. Owing to the length of the train, some delay tookplace in getting it into the statio n, and a age ex clusively occupied by ladies, in thecavrerrl almost off the line, g y middle of the causin much train, by some accident go t but as no cons t e rnation for the moment ; conse quences ensued, good humour was immediately restored. There were upwards of 600 l a di es and gentlemen in the train, for whom refreshmilitswearepaprtroyviodfedaabtotuhte2sotaatiosant.

Gieen, sided. Amongst those present we observed ; ---H. Stewart, Esq , a t i,p., Alexander Sharman Esq. (the Mayor of eefford), the Rev. Dr. Brereton, Samuel C. Whitbread, Esq., J. Astell, Esq., R. Lindsell, Esq., Rev. W. Botler Smith, H. Littledale, Esq., Preetiergast Esq. (Re corder of Bedford), Sir H. Varney, the Rev. Dr. Moun tain, A. E. Ferrer Esq., Robert Payne, Esq., B. Apham, Esq., Thomas Long, Esq. (assistant secretary to the London and North-Western Railway), E. H. Barwell, Esq., of Northampton, Wm. Lewis, Esq., Eiger, Esq., awe. G. Phillimore, W. D. Cooper, Esq., Captain Huish (manager of the London and North-Western Railway Company). H. P. Bruyeres, Eiq. (superintendent of the southern division of the London and North-Western Railway). Due justice having been done to the dinner, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of the Queen." He said they had not yet been honoured by the royal countenance ; but perhaps the reason might be attri buted to the isolation of the town, from the want of a railway; but this defect had been rectified, and they had now one of the best constructed lines in the kingdom. The toast was warmly responded to, as also were the other loyal and constitutional toasts. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the toast of the evening, " Success to the Bedford and Bletchley Rail way Company."—(Loud and long continued cheering.) lie said he could hardly express in words the great gratification he and his brother directors felt at behold ing so numerous an assembly as the one that graced the festive board—they were gratified at the condescension of those who had honoured them with their presence at the celebration of the completion of their great under taking. It was true, the dimensions of the line were small, but the results which it was destined to accomplish were very great. It had been completed in a manner most satisfactory to those who 114 originally promoted it, and the works had been conducted in the best possible order.—(Hear, hear.) It was true the directors had had to encounter many doubts, difficulties, and pre judices, in the prosecution of the undertaking, but they had now been happily cleared away, and the horizon was now bright and clear.—(Cheers.) They had had to encounter two formidable competitors—namely, the Midland and the Eastern Counties Extension on the one hand, and the Oxford and Cambridge line on the other. These two lines were now completely hors de combat; but it was a " great fact" that the Oxford and Bletchley had obtained the sanction of the Legislature, and that in the course of twelve months a portion of the line would be completed, and in the course of two years entirely opened, thus completing a chain of communication between Oxford and the important county town of Bedford. If they looked eastward, they would find the great change that had been experienced on account of the failure of the proposed extension of the Eastern Counties line from Cambridge ; but that company intended to.renew their application next session, and would, no doubt, meet with success. The Thetford line would be carried on to the towns of Norwich and Yarmouth, in connexion with the Eastern Union line, so that ultimately the lines in the eastern portion of the kingdoen,wouid be brought into con nexion with the town of Bedford, and by the aid of the Oxford and Bletchley line with the whole west of Eng land, including Oxford, Bristol, and South Wales. It was another curious fact, that the district between Oxford and Cheltenhani was being competed for by two rival companies—the North Western and the Great Western, and it was not improbable that the " battle of the gauges" would be fought over again in the ensuing session of Parliament. Let them for a moment survey the important link which the Bed ford line was destined to form in the most important railway communication of the country. In the east was the wash at Lynn and the estuary of the Thames, and on the west the Bristol Channel, which would be brought into direct communication by the aid of the Bedford line. The link coeimenced at the port of Yarmouth and Har wich united at Cambridge, and ran through Bedford to Oxford, Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham, Gloucester, and South Wales. Harwich had become a port of consider able importance, inasmuch as the Government had ap pointed it one of the harbours of refuge, and it was en )A important that it and the other ports situated on the east coast should be placed in a direc: line of communication to the west instead of; as now, by a circuitous and expensive route. Looking at this line, iu a classical point of view, the Univelaities of Oxford and Cambridge would be brought within a moraing's ride of each other, and the sporting world of the west would be brought into rapid communication with Newmarket in the east. A. line which would ultimately receive such accessions could not fail to be otherwise than satisfactory to those who had invested their capital in it. They then had the benefit of being connected with the L , nd( n and North-Western Company ; and ev-m if a direct line from the metroplis to Bedford was ultimately made, for ho would not dis guise that the line w tS circuitous, it could not be accom • plished for many years, but in the meantime they had ali the advantages of such an eligible connexion. Although it was circnit'e it would enanle persons to travel between London and Bedford with little delay and little expense, compared with the communication on the old coach road. They had first directed their attention to the con struction of a line between Oxford and Cambridge, through Bedford, and so complete a communication with the west through the heart of Eigland; but the lines with which it would be as;ociatcd would amply ac compli.h this off ct. Ile deeply regretted the absence of Mr. Glyn, the chairman of the London and North Wes tern Company, who had sent a letter to Mr. Pierce, the solicitor to the company, expressing his inability to attend on account of a previous engagement and indispo sition ; the pleasure he and the directors had experi enced in negotiating with the Bedford Company; and trusting that the line would afford all the advan tages which it promised to the town of Bedford, especially on account of the low fares which the com pany intended to charge.— (Cheers.) He was happy, however, to see one of the members of the North Western Board present, and he hoped they would receive the toast in such a way as to enable him to carry back to his colleagues a description of the good feeling which they bore towards the company with which he was con nected.—(Cheers.) The toast was received with enthusiasm. Mr. E. Toorat. rose to return thanks. He said it was very gratify ins to hear the way in which th e t oas t h a d been responded to, and he should adopt the recom mendation of the Chairman, and carry back with him to the directors the way the toast had been received. He hoped the line would afford all those convenieneies which the country had a right to expect, - and that it would promote in an eminent degree the prosperity of the town of Bedford.—(Cheers.) The chairman had alluded to the immewe power and resources of the North Western Company ; but it must be evident that they would only continue to hold that position so long as they deserved it, by affording the public all the accommodation they had a right to expect. (Applause.) They had not, it was true, a direct line to Bedford, but they had many other advantages which more than counterbalanced the loss. Take, for instance, the fares between Bedford and London, which would not be charged for the circuitous route, but as the crow flied.—(Cheers.) He had come two hundred miles in order to be present at the dinner. He was not able to address them in the language of the chairman of the comaany, but at all events in the discharge of the ditties of the office he held, he should endeavour to do all in his power to uromote the interests of the town of Bed ford.—(Cheefs.) He concluded by proposing the health of the chairman. The toast was warmly responded to. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. The exhibition he had witnessed that day, and the large gathering before him, amply compensated for all the toil and trouble he and his brother directors had had to encounter, in bring ing the line t o comp l et i on. —(Ch eers.) He then pro posed " The health of the directors of the Oxford and Bletchley Railway." In two years he hoped to have the pleasure of being present at the celebration of its open ing, and to sit at a festi ve board as well furnished as the present.—(Cheers.) Sir HARRY VERNEY, M.P., in returning thanks, said the interests of the two lines wer e id ent i ca l , the' dis tricts they traversed were similar in resources, and they were each dependant in a great degree for their success upon that illustrious company the North Western.— (Cheers.) It was true the two lines would form a link in the chain of communication between Norwich, Har wich, Yarmouth, and Bury, and the western portion of the county; and would develop the industrial resources of the whole portion traversed. A railway was the greatest advnntage which could be conferred upon an agricultural district.—(Loud cheers.) They had long wanted to im prove the county, but the expense of conveying their produce to eligible markets, and obtaining bricks, ma nure, and other commodities, had been a great obstacle. If the railway brought them nothing more than cheap coals, it would confer a great advantage upon the county. (Cheers.) When the Brunels, the Cubits, and the Ste phensons, retired with fortunes, they would have the gratification of knowing that they had been instrumen tal in bestowing great and lasting benefits upon the community. - The CHAIR MAN then proposed the Members for the county—Mr. Astell and Lord Alford. Mr. Amu., jun., returned thanks for his father. S.(2 r ng—" A Thousand a Year," by Mr. Ril e y. al . LITTLEDALE proposed the health of Mr. P e ar ce , the soli c i tor to the company, who, he said, had treat e d all who came i nto communication with him, with the greatest courtesy. The toast was drunk with acclamation. Mr. Paarsea briefreturned thanks.

Mr. Scam briefly returned thi?..ilksw Whilst ho mo destly took credit for having 'Aerie his duty, he con sidered that they were much ';'adebte d to Mr. Jackson, the contractor, for the e , tßyfor.t mantle r in which he had ex ecuted the works. — (4J.Leers.) The CHAIRMAN exen gave the " landowners on the line, but especiaThi the Duke of Radford," whose pro perty, he said, was intersected by tk e line to a greater a mount than t' rat of any other !andel vner, and who had treated the, in the most liberal mannf:r. The toast 'was warmly responded to. The 'next toasts were " The Duchess of Bedford," the Members for the Borough," Mr. P. Polhill and Mr. F. Steuart, which were all well received, and the company ser,iarated, the majority returning to London by a train 'which left Bedford about seven o'clock. In backing the train at Bletchley, two or three of -the carriages ran off the points, and we only mention the fact to show that no accident of a dangerous natures occurred, and that everything passed off, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, with much satisfaction. NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CON NECTING RAILWAY—(YESTERDAY.) Yesterday, at one o'clock, a meeting of the scripholders in the above railway company was held at the Lon don Tavern, to receive and take into consideration the report of the scripholders' committee, to determine what steps should be taken in regard to the suits in the Court of Chancery, and to consider whether any and what part of the assets of the company can now be divided. Mr. JOHN CASTENDRICK took the chair, and, after the meeting was opened with the usual preliminaries, called upon Mr. Randell, the solicitor to the scripholders' com mittee, to read the report. Mr. RANDELL then read the report, which, after ad verting to the fact that the company was projected for the purpose of uniting the London and Birmingham, South-Western, London and Brighton, South-Eastern' and Northern and Eastern Railways, stated, that in December last it was ascertained that the plans had not been deposited until the Ist December, and the shareholders then called upon the directors to wind up the company; but, instead of doing so, the directors determined upon going to Parliament. V arious had been taken to stay the progre ss of the Bill, and effect an immediate dissolution of the company, and on the 11th June an interim order was obtained from the Court of Chancery to restrain the directors from re ceiving the deposit out of Court. On the 23d July the company was dissolved without bankruptcy, in pursuance of the Railway Companies Dissolution Act, and at the meeting the directors pesented a cash statement, showing a balance against them of 16,7981.85. 4d., and proposed to return to the scripholders 11. is. per share. Upon the balance-sheet, the committee of management remark at great length, and state that, instead of their being 9,9061. Bs. 11d. at the bankers, and in the shape of securities, there was only about 26Z, and no securities whatever. Upon requiring explanation, Messrs. John son and Adair stated, that they could not deny that there had been a traffic in shares by Mr. Graham, and that the securities were the scrip so purchased. Mr. Graham was made a bankrupt, and from his pro duced statements, it appeared 3,690 shares had been purchased at a total cost of 9,6131. 155.; all the cheques given for this share traffic but one had been re moved. Mr. Beard, the only director who has answered said, he never had the custody of any shares, but that as to 120 of them, which were given to him for a loan of 2001., they would be delivered to the committee. It will thus be seen that in addition to the traffisking in the sh ares with the money of the company, the retaining those shares when purchased, in their own hands, and the secret manner io which the cheques for the share traffic were drawn, not only is there no such sum as 9,9061 Bs. Bd. ; hat the 3,350 shares, its representative value, are not forthcoming, and all the directors can show for this sum is 1,200 shares. Mr. Howell, the clerk of the company, on the 20th Oct. handed the committ ee by which it appeared that after payment of all claims and liabilities there was left 7,115/. 17s. id., or 15s. 4d. per share to return to the scripholders. The cash remain ing in Messrs. Twining's now amounts to 12,422/. Is. Bd.; Messrs. Rogers, Si. 183. 9_1.; Messrs. Hankey's 4/. 6s. 2.1., which, with the 1,200 shares, constitutes the present available assets of the company. The outstanding claims amount to 6,1001 or thereabouts, exclusive of the costs of the suits, leaving a present balance of 6,322/. divisible among a number of shareholders at present unaseertained. The committee, acting under the opinion of counsel, stated, in conclusion, that until the whole number of shares purchased by the directors were given up, it could not be ascertained who were the 13on1i fide shareholders, or what was to constitute a ma jority, or into what number of shares the balance of the fund in hand was to be divided;' that it would be prudent to retain the entire fund to abide the decision of the Court ; and they cannot recommepd any division at present. Tho committee state it to be absolutely neces- Mr. DANIELS moved the adoption of the report. Mr. HOPGOOD seconded the proposition. Mr. D. CLARKE strongly objected to the report being adopted that day. It was a voluminous document, and ought to have been circulated amongst the shareholders before. He should move that the meeting be adjourned. sary to prosecute the suit in Chancery, but that the cause of Adams v. De Burgh - is wholly unnecessary, and may result in useless expense. A long and very irregular conversation ensued, but ul timately the meeting was adjourned until to morrow fort night, to give the scripholders time to consider the report, ' and the steps to he taken to bring the affairs of the corn ' piny to a speedy termin t:ion. SOUTE-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. A General meeting of this cimpAny was held at the principal - terminus, at Nine Elms, yesterday, at one o'clock; Mr. Chaplin, chairman of the company, in the chair, which wets very nu:ncrously attended. The advertisement convening the meeting having been:read, The CHAIRMAN called upon the Secretary, Mr. Campbell,. to read the report, from which it appeared that, the purchase of the Richmond It eilway hay ing been completed, the directors have concluded arrangements with the promoters of the Staines and Richmond, and Windsor and Staines projects. Turning to the district intermediate between the main lines of this and of the Brighton Railway, the director would assure the proprietors that no pains have been spared in preparing for Parliament lines from Winklele don and Godalming southwards, such as were likely to satisfy the wants of the public. The Brighton Company have, in like manner, prepared the preliminaries of other measures for effecting the same general objects; and committees of the two boards, have recently met and agreed on certain leading principles which will ensure an equal ownership of the Portsmouth atmospheric line by the two companies. and a general co-operation by them for supplying the public wants throughout the country intermediate between their respective trunk lines. The purchase of the lines between Guildford and Godalmin,g, and between Portsmouth and Farehane, hes been complete d e —:he shareholders in the Guild ford Extension and Portsmouth and Fareliam Company, with very few exceptions, paid— and the works contracted for by Mr. Brassey. In the last session of Parliament this company promoted a short junction line between Ramsey and Redbridge, which the Parliamentary Committee refused to. sanction. The directors propose to repeat an application for this line in the ensuing session, with an extension up the valley of the Test to Andover. The directors are de terred, by the vast amount of works, from proposing any line to connect the main South-Western line more directly with Oxford, but fully recog nixing the importance to the interests of this company, of direct and unbroken communication be tween the midland and northern districts and the southern coast, the directors will continue their atten tion to the subject. The works on the Southampton and Dorchester line are making rapid progress towards com pletion. Three branches, viz., to Lymington, to Bland ford, and to Weymouth, have been projected by the Southampton and Dorchester Company, and the direc tors recommend the company, to take their proportion of the capital necessary for making the proposed branches, and to lease them on the same terms as the original work. The directors have taken snob preliminary steps, and made such arrangements with other parties, ex pedient for securing a continuous narrow gauge system of lines from London to the Land's end. By obtaining in the last session the London-bridge Extension, and Basingstoke and Salisbury lines (the works on which are now nearly ready for contract), this company is pos sessed of the shortest and best possible line from London bridge to Salisbury and (to that extent) towards Exeter, Plymouth, and Cornwall ; and they have, for the further ance of that object, though at great outlay, become the proprietors of the Salisbury and Yeovil Junction project. The addition of branches to Shaftesbury and Wincan ton, and of a cross line extending from the Southampton and Dorchester Branch at Blandford, by Sturminster, Stalbridge, and Wincanton to Bruton, will render this scheme a perfect system for the accommodation of the. Northern and Central parts of Dorsetshire, in addition !li greater purp ose as part o f t h e propose d S out h - Western trunk line. The second section of this great scheme continues to be promoted by the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Company, whose undertaking the pro prietors will bear in mind this company have agreed to hire in perpetuity, themselves holding one-fourth of the capital; and the directors have great confidence that the now improved branches towards Bridport and Dorches ter, the addition of lines to Sidmouth and Charmonth (Lyme Regis), with the careful revision of the main line, will secure to this section that approbation which its leading characteristics ought to have secured for it in the last session. The capital for making it has being necessarily increased by 500,0001., of which this company • will take up one-fourth, and the general shareholders the remainder, on tho same rate of guaranteed return as before ; and the directors have also given a pledge that, in case of fail ure, the expenses of the shareholders, from the com mencement of the undertaking, shall not emceed 2/. 15s. on each 50/. share in the original capital, nor 10s. on each 25/. share in the new capital. In the last session an Act was pasadd for making a-railway fr.= Exeter to Exmouth, its powers being suspended in their operation until the passing of the Exeter, Yeovil, an d Dorchester line. The directors have agreed to adopt tl iis important local line as a part of the Exeter, Yeovil, an. I Dorchester scheme, if the latter be sanctioned by Par litament, and that the company shall find one-fourth of t he necessary capital. The third section of the proposed South-Western trunk lino comprises that part of it west of Exeter ; the subscribers towards the scheme of last s ession with draw in favour of this .company, and the directors, therefore, propose that the entire lines west of Exeter should e be undertaken directly by their proprie tary. The entral line to Truro has been considerably shortened theworks much reduced, and the gradients it aproved, so' as to contrast triumphantly' in security, inclb _talons, d , Plated to swtiAtulisetecisst t l . in c e o . lu ß lu r b a , n ez ch d p lin ivas es t pareucontem arbour, as before ; and as new and prominent features, there have been added a line by Tavistock to Plymouth, (to be connected at Plymouth with the principal commercial harbour in Sutton Pool)—a branch fro - m Okehampton to Chulmleigh, (there to be connected with the Taw Vale line, and so to form a complete railway communication from the south coast at Plymouth to the north at Barn staple), and a branch to Craditon. Of these new mea sures, by far the most important is the line to Ply mouth. Thera is there a population of 100,000, for whose accommodation there is at present provided only the South-Devon _ Railway, now in formation, as a single line, with very steep gradients, and intended to be worked by atmospheric power. In order to cement the leading commercial interests of Plymouth in favour of this company's schemes, the di rectors have agreed to take a limited amount of capital in the undertaking now on foot for improving Sutton Pool Harbour, and satisfied of the completeness of these great projects, and of -their claims to success, the direc tors do not overlook that they ought to be convinced also of their remunerative character, and the board have arrived at a firm opinion, that the whole will pay a fair dividend out of their own proper earnings, and by the traffic which they will inevitably accumulate upon the existing property of this company (now amounting to upwards of 263 miles of authorised railway), must be productive of great advantage. With respect to the ne cessary capital, the directors are of opinion that the existing resources of the company in the shape of capital uncalled, and powers of borrowing, are adequate to the execution of all the works which this company are at present authorised to execute, or towards which they have power to sub cribe. To provide for new works, the directors propose to give each proprietor registered in the books_of the company on this day, or who shall on the 16th day of / February next be so registered in re spect of shares consolidated from the recent issue of tenths, the option of subscribing for one new share, in respect of each share held by him (ex cept Gosport privileged shares). On such new shares it is proposed that a deposit of ten per cent. should be paid on allotment. If it shall happen that none of the works now contemplated are sanctioned by Parliament, the deposits so paid will be consolidated into a proportionate number of shares of 501. and 401. each, entitled to the same privileges as the present new shares of .501. and 40/. ; and if any, or all the now pro posed works, be sanctioned, then the amount for the time being called on the now proposed new shares, will bear interest at five per cent., payable out of capital, from Ist January, 1847, to Ist July, 1853, and at the latter date will become identified with the other shares in the company, and take dividend at the same rate per cent. on the amount actually paid up." The CHAIRMAN said that it was hardly necessary for him, after the report, to say anything further of the future designs of the company, but as some might not clearly understand the principle on which the directors acted, he would refer to the chief points. (He then re capitulated the heads of the report.) One thing on which he might congratulate the shareholders was the cessation of hostility with the Brighton Company, with whom he was happy to say they were now on terms of amity. A series of fifteen resolutions for carrying out the designs expressed in the report which the Chairman proposed, were, with little dissent, after some conversa tion, adopted by the meeting. A SHAREHOLDER inquired how it was that, with prosperous circumstances, the returns of the company had been reduced? The CHAIRMAN replied that it was in consequence of the great reduction of the several fares, but the traffic had greatly increased, and very shortly the evil, which was a great benefit to the public, would shortly be changed into an advantage also to the company. A SHAREHOLDER inquired whether it was intended to make calls to the full amount of the new shares ? The Cmainmax said that it was. Mr. REID then proposed that there should be an ad vance made out of the capital stock of the company to the extent of 50,0001., as a loan to the New Southamptcn Steam-packet Company, to enable them the more speedily to establish a line of vessels to Havre, with a view to facilitate the continental intercourse. Mr. W. TITE seconded this resolution, stating that the Brighton Company were already engaged in the con sruction of steamers to run to Dieppe. After some considerable discussion the vote was agreed to, and after .a complimentary vote to the offs• dais engaged upon the line for their care and attention in the avoidance of accidents, thanks were passed to the chairman, and the meeting broke up apparently highly satisfied with the day's proceedings.

THE CORN TRADE- B R IT'S 11, The paragraphs which have appeared in the papers ' predicting immense arrivals, together with that natural reaction which almost invariably occurs after a consider able rise in the value of a commodity, have sufficed to keep the trade in•a dull state, and a further fall of about 2s. per quarter has taken place in the price of wheat at the principal provincial markets held since Monday, making the total decline from the highest point 43. to ss. per quarter. Within the last few days the inclination to buy has somewhat increased, and we are disposed to think that the downward movement is about to be ar rested. For some weeks to come farmers are likely to lie occupied with wheat sowing; and as the stocks in the hands of the millers have been a good deal decreased of late, it is not improbable that, with an improved de mand aid short supplies, a firmer tone may be assumed by sellers. The accounts from Ireland do not speak so despond • ingly of the state of the country this week as before. There, as on this side of the Channel, the late crops of potatoes appear to have turned out rather better than .had been calculated on; which circumstance, and the dull advices from England, together with the arrival of several large cargoes of Indian corn at some of the principal ports, had caused a small reaction in prices of provisions. At Mark-lane business has remained in a quiet state throughout the week. The supply of wheat coastways into London has been extremely small, only 2,907 quar ters having been reported up to Saturday evening ; whilst, by land carriage scarcely a sample has appeared since Monday. The trifling nature of the arrivals has, however, had little effect beyond that of imparting some what more confidence to factors. Neither on Wednesday nor Friday could higher terms be realised for even the best qualities than in the beginning of the week, but at previous prices, the few lots exhibited on the Essex and Kent stands were placed without much difficulty Holders of free foreign wheat were generally very firm; and though the transactions were on a restricted scale, former terms were steadily maintained. A few pur chases of low quality were made towards the close of the week for shipment to Ireland, but, on the whole, the operations were not of much importance. Bonded heat has met with some attention for export to France, and prices have been paid for the article under lock relatively higher than those at which similar qualities have been offered free; for a cargo of moderately good red 'sBs., and for middling Dantaic 60s. to 61s. per quartet having been realised. Several purchases were reported to have been made on Wednesday, and on Friday two or three cargoes were again taken on French account; as, how ever, the imports from abroad have amounted to 11,322 quarters during the week, the stocks in bond have been rather increased than diminished since our last. The late fall in the value of wheat has not as yet produced any effect on the averages; indeed, the last general weekly return (625. 3d.) is 61 per quarter higher than that fur the preceding week. There is consequently no prospect . of the duty rising. The nominal top price of flour has remained stationary; Norfolk and other ship qualities have, however, in par tial instances, been forced off at slightly reduced terms, and • American flour has been sold somewhat cheaper. The arrival of the latter has been small, 595 barrels having come to hand within the last eight days. The market has been moderately supplied with barley of home growth; and of the 4,163 quarters of English received, only a comparatively small proportion has con ' sisted of really fine qualities. Superior malting samples were, consequently, held a trifle higher• towards the close than in the commencement of the week, bui the rise in price was not of sufficient importance to render any alte ration in quotations necessary. The sale of distilling and grinding barley was more or less interfered with by the receipt of 13,129 quarters from abroad, principally of secondary quality; even these sorts were, however, not by any means cheaper on Friday than on Monday. The brewers have bought malt cautiously, and in some cases they have succeeded in purchasing a little below previous rates ; but should the present value of barley be maintained, that of malt cannot well recede. The arrivals of oats from our own coast have consisted of only 672 quarters, whilst from Scotland 1,271 quer ters have come to hand; and none from Ireland. With such scanty supplies of home-grown corn a rise in prices would have taken place, notwithstanding the arrival of 21,244 quarters from abroad, if there had not been some quantity of the latter previously on the market. The necessity to clear vessels where the lay days were about to expire, caused factors to be more moderate in their pretensions than they otherwise might have been, and the business done both on Wednesday and Friday, was at similar terms to those current in the beginning of the week. The wind having blown constantly from the eastward for several days past, it is fair to infer that nearly the who!e of the oats recently shipped from the near continental ports for this market are now here; and unless a change of wind should bring us an Irish supply, the market may soon become bare, a large proportion of the foreign oats having already gone" into the stores of the dealers. Though the quantity of beans brought forward has been moderate, some difficulty has been experienced in their disposal, and Monday's currency has barely been supported for English. Egyptian beans have been held firmly at former rates, but there has not been much doing either in parcels on the spot or cargoes to arrive. Of English peas very few have come to market; and the best white boilers, as well as handsome samples of grey and maple, have been held pretty firmly. Foreign white peas, of which the arrivals have lately been liberal, have been of:fared on comparatively moderate terms with out exciting much attention. Having scarcely any Indian corn on the spot, its exact ' value cannot be well quoted; cargoes to arrive have, how : ever, been freely offered, and where bargains have been closed lower prices have been accepted. FOREIGN. There appears is have been a moderate business done at some of the principal ports in the Baltic in wheat for shipment to England ; but, from the generally low stocks of old in that quarter, and the scanty manner in which the farmers have hitherto brought forward sup plies of new, the actual sales have not been large. At Dantzic about 240 lasts changed hands during the week ending the 7th November, a small portion of which had consisted of fine high-mixed, the growth of 1842, fur which 575. per quarter had been realised ; but the bulk of what had been sold had been of ordinary quality, not weighing more than 591bs. to the bushel, at a price lequal to 495. per quarter, free on board. The arrivals from the interior down the Vistula had been very small, owing to the want of sufficient water in that river to float down the barges. The weather had become very cold, and an early close cff the inland navigation was ex pected The total exports of wheat from Dantzic, dur ing October, had amounted to' 3,182 lasts, upwards of 1,000 of which had gone to Holland, France, Belgium, and Jersey, and the remaining 2,000 lasts to British ports. Several vessels had come to hand, which had the effect of causing a small decline in the rates of freight. A large ship had been chartered for Liverpool at ss. 10d., and another had been placed for London at 6s. per quarter for wheat. From Konigsberg we have letters of the 6th instant. Beyond a purchase or two of oats and peas, the formes at 19s. to 205., and the latter at 40s. per quarter, very little appears to have been done there in the grain trade. In wheat absolutely nothing, and in barley only retail sales had taken place. Letters from Stettin, of the 9th inst.,' inform us that a good many ships had arrived at Swinemunde, the load ing of - which would, it was expected, give some impetus to the business in corn. Meanwhile hardly sale had been made, and the value of most. articles have remained nominally unaltered. Barley f or spring shipment had, however, been offered at reduced terms, contracts hav ing been closed at 30s. per quarter. The accounts from Rostock of the 9th are wholly without interest, no supplies having been brought to that market of sufficient consequence to allow any business beyond that of a local character being done. At Hamburgh some purchases of wheat appear to save been made on French account, and the advices of Tuesday last from thence state that quite 4,000 qrs. had been taken for that destination at a price equal to 535. 9d. per quarter. Barley had moved off somewhat slowly, and the value of this grain had tended downwards. New Seale had been held at 38s. Gd. but the highest bid ob tained had not exceeded 375. 9d. per quarter. The de mand for oats had also fallen off materially. In the Mediterranean comparatively little wheat ap pears to have been brought for shipment to England, most of the supplies from other, parts having been directed to Marseilles, where prices continue very high. A letter from Genoa, dated the Gth of November, states that a good many wheat laden vessels had ar rived there, but that many of them had orders to pro ceed to Marseilles. Marianopoli wheat was worth at the first named port 545. 3d. to 565., and Polish Odessa, 565. to 575. Eiti. per quarter.—Mark-lane Express. MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE OF BORDEAUX. We find the following in the Esprit Public:—" The marriage of the Duke de Bordeaux contains incidents which it is well for the public to be acquainted with ; it is a consequence only of the Madrid nuptials, but our profound diplomatists were far from expecting to reap this fruit of their skill. We have already said that M. do Metternich on all occasions systematically opposed every project of marriage proposed for the young Prince. He had some resistance to overcome on the part of the Imperial. Family; but he succeeded in removing it by demonstrating that Austria was obliged to act with great prudence towards France, who had the power to excite dangerous disturbances in Italy, and that thc concessions of the French Government in this latter country depended upon the proceedings of Aus tria, above all with regard to the celibacy of the legi timate pretender, of which the cabinet of Paris would make a national question. But as soon as the Spanish complications were known, the Empress of Austria, a woman of strong character, and sister of the Duchess Dowager of Modena, thought that the danger was no longer so great in presence of the rupture of the entente cordiale. She thought herself able, therefore, to nego tiate with her sister; in perfect safety, the union of her niece with the Duke de Bordeaux. The affair was con ducted with the greatest secresy,without passing through the Austrian Chancery, and the letters of the two sisters thus escaping the imperial censorship. All was agreed upon and executed with the most perfect understanding. Dispensations from Home were necessary, and were im mediately obtained from the head of the Church, in the same manner as M. Rossi had obtained them for the Duke de Montpensier, without making the subject a question of diplomacy; and when the intelligence of their having been granted reached M. de Broglie, the French Charg6 d'A ffaires, it was too late. The mar riage was on the eve of being accomplished by procura tion at Modena, without the possibility of obtaining re dress fo/ a fait accompli.

ALBION PLATE GLASS COMPANY.—The new Albion Plate Glass Company seems to promise well. The de mand for plate glass much exceeds the supply, and, therefore, there is every reason to believe that those who cost. 1845, Since seek to meet w ith th a t d e m a nd will profit from th e state of the market. The relation of a few facts will serve to show what th e p re sent state of that market is. The amount of duty on plate glass, which w as entirel y remit ted in cent. r i e o to n t the h consumer has not averaged more t han 15 p er cent., and at this price the demand far e xceeds su pp l y . These factse athvaetrargeemdissfiroorml, the as 0 40 per reductioni n po are clearly proved by statistical tables, and the difference between 35 percent. (taking it at the lowest), and 15 per cent. will show the probable profits of the new company; and this merely calculating upon the remission of d uty,with out taking into account the extra profits on capital to be re alised from greater economy of manufacture consequent upon the freedom from the restraints of the Excise laws, which rendered an extravagant process of making plate glass indispensable ; because, it being necessary to suit the processes of manufacture to the convenience of the Excise officers, it was impossible to practise economy. The new company will be released from the inquisitorial supervision of the Excite, and therefore their works will be constructed with a view solely to economy of material, consequently the difference between 15 and 30 per cent. will form but a small item in their profits.
