Ju3t published, post BVo.cloth,'ss., E XPLANATIONS; by the Author of "Ves tiges of the Natural History of Creation." London : - John Churchill, Princes-street, Soho. It seems tote a question of more importance to our West India Colonies even than to other parts of the world, that railroad communication should be established in them; because such a mode of communication would favour the establishment of extensive works for the manufacture of sugar, and promote the economical obtainment of the sacharine matter. Certainly no private individuals could establish such works, though all could convey the cane by railway to them. The following from Jamaica will give a better idea of the subject :—" When some months ago, referring to the probable advantages to result from the establishment of railway.com inunication in this island, we expressed a firm conviction that among the earliest fruits of the introduction of such a system would be the separation - cf• the manufaCturing from the cultivating process of Sugar production, we scarcely be lieved so valuable an improvement was so nigh at hand. " Already we have heard of more than one suggestion for the establishment of central factories in densely cultivated districts, but only one of these schemes has yet appeared in alangible form, and to this project, as one calculated to afford a highly advantageous means of investment to the capitalist, as well as vast benefit, and accommodation to the agriculturist whose property may lie within the scope of its operations, we feel most anxious to direct the attention of moneyed men in England as well as in this island. We allude to the project of which notice was given on Monday night by Mr. Franklin, the Honourable Member for Metcalfe, fur an early day in the next session, having for its object the iecorporation of a company, on the petition of Alexander Gordon Fyfe, Esq., and others for the establishment of a central sugar manufactory at Annot to Bay, and for the laying down of tram roads of communica tioß between the town and the various estates which con verge towards that centre. The details of the scheme com bine other objects which offer great advantages to those who May embark their capital in it. It is proposed in addi tion to the establishment of a sugar factory upon a principle embodying all the improvements of modern science to erect a steam saw-mill, by which the valuable timbers which abound in the dense forests of the interior of the parish may be worked up into materials for general purposes, and the large importations of timber from the United States be thus superseded by a far better material of island growth. From this latter department of the Company's operations, also, staves of domestic manufacture and of unsurpassed excellence will be obtained, so that the Company will be enabled to supply the casks for ehipment of the produce which they manufacture at a cheap rate, whilst they will add another item to their account of profits." These are the, plans of colonies, too. which were to be ruined by the encouragement of competition in the sugar market of the mother country. There is no appearance of liveliness in the City to• day. A moderate business is doing in a few staples not likely to be affected by the new tariff. The English Stock Market is' in a dull state this morning, and the operations present no features of the least general interest. Consols for present transfer have been 96% to %, being 1 4 per cent. - lower again than yesterday. For Time the quotations have been 96% 3 4. The premium on Ex chequer-bills have been 375. to 40s.

Wednesday night, at a numerous meeting of the members of the Westminster Reform Society, was held at Stannard's Hotel, Charles-street, Covent-garden, for the purpose of taking into consideration what measures • should be adopted in consequence of the resignation of the Hon. Captain Roos, upon his acceptance of the office of one • of the Lo ds of the Admiralty. Mr. Taorr being appointed to the chair, obset'ved that the first question for the consideration of the meeting was whether the Society was willing to go to an election, and if they were determined upon taking that course, to come to a resolution who should be the candidate they would support. They had heard from General Sir De Lacy Evans that he was willing to become their representative, and to contest the election. — (Hear.) He had served them faithfully on former occasions. —(Hear.) The meeting inuA, act with promptitude and determination, as it was most probable that a very few days would elapse before the day of nomination would be ape pointed.—(Hear.) Mr. MUR3AY observed that the electors of Westminster ought to be represented by a Member. of decided Liberal opinions. They ought not to let a Conservative come in. He believed he expressed the opinion of Westminster, that it would be an injury to the Liberal cause if they returned again the Honourable Captain Rous.—(Hear.) Mr. CHILDS said that they should look to the broad principles on which the Society was founded.—(hear, hear.) They ought not to be guided by their feelings, but to look at principles.—(Hear, hear.) He was one of the oldest elec • tors, and always gave his vote for, and used his utmost ex ertions to secure the return of an independent candidate. — (Hear, hear.) He had no hesitation in giving his opinion in favour of General Evans—(Applause.) Several members having addressed the chair, Mr. STOCKEN moved a resolution that General Sir de Lacy Evans he proposed as a candidate to oppose the Hon. Captain Eons at the ensuing election for the representation of Westminster. Mr. emu's seconded the resolution. Mr. LEWIS moved an amendment, which was seconded by Mr. Jactssox, that it. is not advisable on this occasion to con test the election with the flons-Ceptain Rene. - After a very prolonged discussion, The CHAHIMAN put the question, when the amendment was lost by eight. On the resolution being put only three hands were raised against it (followed by loud applause). The Chairman then requested that the gallant General should be informed of the decision of the meeting. General EVANS, upon entering the room, was received with cheers. Ile observed that he returned his grateful thanks for the honour he had received by their having resolved to sup port his election as the representative of the liberal con stituency of Westminster.—(Hear, hear.) But this was not the first time that he had had occasion to do so. He did not expect that :o shortly after he had issued his address an op portunity would have occured when he should have been called upon to present himself to their notice, and he could only say that he there reiterated the opinions which were contained in that address. He was sorry that they should be put to the inconvenience of being obliged to use their ex ertions on his behalf. He intended to have offered himself at the general election, when he would have been able to enter the contest upon equal terms with his opponent, who, on the present occasion, had got the start of him in the field. He, however, with the support of the Liberal electors of West minster, had no doubt of his success. He had no desire to go into the House of Commons, but if it was their wish that he should be their representative, he would readily stand the contest.—(Hear, hear.) t- He did not wish to press himself upon their adoption. lie had had the honour to serve them consistently, and if returned he would pursue the same un deviating course. He was now ready to give an answer to any questions that might be put to him. CHAIRMAN—If any one has a question to put to the gal lant General, be trusted that it would be proposed; and he hoped that those who held up their hands for the amendment would assist to their utmost in proinoting the return of General Evans.=-(Hear.) Mr. PouxcitY observed that he held up his band for the amendment, but did not oppose the resolution.—(Hear.) He had always voted for General Evans, and should do so at the ensuing election, feeling that the Liberal interest ought not to be divided.—(Applause.) He hoped that the electors would come for Ward, and he had no doubt but that the gal lant General would be returned triumphantly.—(Applause.) Mr. LEWIS asked General Evans whether, in the event of his becoming the representative of 'Westminster; he would vote for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laWs, in . opposition to the delayed measure of her Majesty's Govern ment ?—(Hear.) General EVANS Said that his opinions were Well known always to have been in favour of the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. He, however, begged to observe that in the event of the great body of thb Whig party and the League deciding that it would be more expedient not to op pose the propositions of Sir Robert Peel, he hoped that they would forgive him if lie supported that object. A MEMBER.—Suppose the League oppose the measure, would you support total and immediate repeal? General EVANS—Go with the League by , all means. — (Applause.) The gallant General concluded by remarking that he would give his vote, as he always had done, in favour of liberal measures.—(Hear, hear.) The thanks of the meeting having beerf voted to the Chair man, he remarked that he was pleased to observe th e re was suet :a feeling manifested to support a Liberal candidate. — (Applause.) Let them all put their shoulders to the wheel, and do their utmost to carry this election, and he had no doubt but that they would have a most triumphant victory for the Liberal cause. The meeting broke up at eleven o'olock. ELECTION OFTHEMARQUIS OF CHANDOS. BUCKINGHAM WEDNESDAY.—The representation of this borough, vacated by Sir Thomas Fremantle, was to-day arranged by the return of the Marquis of Chandos, the only son of the Duke of Buckingham. The election took place in the Town-hall. The MAYon having opened the proceedings, The Rev. W. T. EYRE came forward to propose the Noble Marquis, and the nomination was seconded by Mr. W. H. FRENCH. 'I here being no other candidate to propose, The MAYon declared the Noble Marquis duly elected. The Marquis of CIIANDOS then addressed the assembly amidst much applause. In the course of his remarks the Noble Lord said—with respect to the important question which now occupies the general attention—l need scarcely say I allude to the corn-laws and the present free-trade movement —I do not hesitate to avow that I am de cidedly opposed to it.—(Loud cheers.) I am opposed to an alteration in the existing corn-laws for two reasons; first, because I am convinced a repeal of those laws will have an injurious effect upon every class of the community—upon the manufacturer, upon the agriculturist, and upon the labourer .—(Hear, hear, ard cheers. )—and, secondly, I object to any alteration in those laWs, because I think, even if I agreed in the principle of the measure, I ought to oppose it on the ground that it is one of far too great importance to be sub mitted to an expiring Parliament—(Cheers)—and because I think the sense of the country ought to be taken upon a question in which so many mighty interests are involved. After a vote of thanks to the Mayor, for his conduct in the chair, the proceedings of the election terminated. CORN-LAW MEETING AT DOR CHESTER. On Tuesday, at twelve o'clock, a large meeting was held in the Town-hall of Dorchester, in compliance with a requi sition which had been previously placarded about the town. Charles Pitcher, Esq., the new Sheriff, presided; and forth with several gentlemen stood forth upon the platform with words of loud- opposition to the proposed Ministerial mea sures. As upon all similar occasions, the gist of the different orations were contained in the different "resolutions," the speakers being mere amplifications of those documents. A Mr. Farquharson was the proposer. and a Mr. Pope the seconder, of the first of these resolutions, which was to the following effect:—' That this meeting views with the utmost alarm tte measures now under the consideration of Parlia ment for 'he great reduction of the duties payable on the ad mission of foreign manufactures, and the establishment, at no distant period, of the free importation of foreign corn." Another of a similar character having been read by the Rev. 11. F. Yeatman, the reverend speaker was interrupted by the struggles for places incident upon the arrival of fresh spectators every minute. The hall at length being filled beyond endurance, and the mob outside en deavouring by every muscular effort to effect an entrance, the meeting was adjourned to a neighbouring field. The dis cussion (if so it could be designated) was then resumed, and a proposal carried for petitions to Parliament against any alteration of the corn-laws; the petitions to be presented in the two Houses by Lord Digby and Mr. Bankes. After the usual formalities, The lima SHERIFF then announced that the election in the room of Lord Ashley and Mr. Sturt would take place on Thursday, Feb. 19. The I..rge assembl, then quietly dispersed ENGLISH --- GERMAN OPINIONS OF .e.NGLISH POLITICS.—The re recent Ministerial changes in England have afforded a suf ficient theme for conversation amongst all classes in Ham burgh : but English politics are too little known and too little understood here to make a Hamburgher's opinion on the sub ject interesting. As regards the prospect of some decided cb.ange in the British corn-laws, the berthHamburghes are not altogether so well pleased ; and this appears to e view taken on the subject in all the corn growing countries along the Baltic. The abrogation of the corn-laws is considered as an immense boon to the corn-growers and dealers in the United States of America and along the shores of the Black Sea, and the great fear hereabouts is, that the German corn .... ... grower will be swamped in Great Britain by the steady .... importation from distant places, where corn can be produced .. . ..

SECOND REPORT FROM THE SE LECT COMMITTEE ON RAILWAY BILLS. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The betting on the .Chester Cup was in most instances governed by Monday's returns, proving, however, from the nature of the very moderate amount of business transacted, and the repeated offers to back them, that. the leading fa vorites were uncommonly steady; Mermaid was also in reqiiest, but very few seemed disposed to lay against her; we believe that 30 to 1 would have been taken.

Feb. 10, 1846. LAW INTELLIGENCE. 11017 SE OF LORDS, Feb. 12. The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. MACPHERSON V. CRAIGIE.' The further arguments in this part-heard Scotch appeal were resumed, and occupied their Lordships the whole morning. COURT OF CH ANCERY, Feb. 12. The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln'i Inn Hall to-day, and took appeals, none of which possessed any points of interest. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Feb. 12. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) BOHN V. BOGUE. The arguments on this motion for a rejection to restrain the defendant from selling any more copies of the first volume of the " European Library,' ; with any passage or articles copied from a publication called " Illustrations Historical and Critical, of the Life of Lorenzo de Medici," called the "Magnificent," with an Appendix of the original and other documents, by Mr. Roscoe, were resumed and concluded to-day. His Hasoun ' at the conclusion of the arguments , gave judgment. Hehad,no doubt whatever as to the course which the Court ought to pursue. He should certainly grant the injunction, because he thought the case was plain from the defendant's own declaration, that he had taken a materially va l u able part of the work of the plaintiff. The plaintiff, however, should be put upon terms to bring such action as he might be advised, with liberty to either party to apply to the Court. As to the rest of the motion, in his Honour's opinion it should stand over. The Court then proceeded to hear motions. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wto RAM.) FULLER V. STEVENS. This case came on for further directions, but when the arguments were concluded, His HoNoug said, that upon the evidence and'the state of matters which had been laid before him, he could not enter into the case. The bill was dismissed with costs up to h e hearing. Nothing of interest was before the Cour t t. - - - This was an action to recover the sum of 5/. Os. Id., for butcher's meat supplied to the defendant. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The facts of the case were these. In the coarse of last year the plaintiff supplied meat at the house of the defend ant, who was in the habit of paying ready money for every thing sent in, and always furnished the cook with money beforehand ; the cook, however, in this case misappropriated the money, but made up her book as thott4h it was duly paid, and so much dependence was placed in the servants that no receipts were ever required. It Wa3 now contended, on the authority of Lord Kenyon; that a master who gave his servante money to pay was not afterwards liable. • The UNDER SHERIFF, however, considered that the prin ciple was too broad, as each case depended on the mode of dealing. In this, a former cook had proved, that she made a contract with plaintiff to serve meat for ready money, and for twelve months she had always paid as the bills went in. except in two or three instances where a few days had elapsed. 'The cook, who had contracted the debt, had been called, and admitted the re ceipt of the money, and that she had. not paid it. The ques tions for the jury were, first, had there been a contract for ready money; next, whether the delay of a day or two oc casionally could be construed into credit ; and, lastly, whether the plaintiff had used due caution in giving credit without letting the plaintiff know that the mode of dealing had been altered. Verdict for the plaintiff. HORRIBLE MURDER and SUICIDE. Between six and seven o'clock yesterday morning the inha bitants of Arbour-square. Commercial-road, were alarmed by loud calls for the police, and screams of murder issuing from the house, No. 16, in the square, occupied by a respectable man named Baxter, employed as a clerk in Templeman's coal wharf. Police •constable Sutherland, who was passing the house, which is within about eighty or one hundred yards of the Thames Police court and station-house, imme diately entered, and, on descending to the back kitchen, re ceivedi in his anus the body of a young woman in the last gasp of death, from a frightful wound on the right side of the throat, which gaped to the extent of several inches. She died almost immediately, without ut tering a word. llaving laid the body on the floor, he proceeded to the next arm tment, which was furnished in the way of a parlour, and there, on the floor close to th e rive-place, hey the body of a man about twenty-six. years of age, with his bead na t tily severed tram his liody, his throat being cut quite acewa.: -aSa pool of blood had isteed from the wound, and whore the woman lay in the other apartment the place was also deluged with blood. There was a pond of blood at the shot of the staircase, and the door, the tablee, and the chairs were spat- • tered and smeared with gore.' The fender, fire irons, and fur niture were scattered about in every direction, and all things betokened a silent but terrible struggle. From all that could be collectel in the confusion which ensued, this appears to be one of these motiveless murders which, had the suicide • s urvived would, by some sapient jury , have been attribu t e d' ntootinys,eatnaittytai. attained iE seems B 3 x ter, the proprieter of the house. Against the father's consent she married her murderer, Jeremiah Spence Stark, about s s ix th te e en d t e l c e easet year, t was the daughter of Mr. yoaug woman, who had nine months since. Though averse to the match, her poor father took them into the house, in the hope that he might further their future prospects; but the son-in-law was of a gloomy and morose temper, and apparently idly disposed. the only discoverable grounds for the terrible tragedy, which has fearfully alarmed the neighbourhood, are these : A little brother of the young woman Ellen Baxter, alias Stark, slept in the same apartment with her and her hus band, and on the previous night heard the latter abusing her, and calling her odious names. This he told to his father, who mildly remonstrated with Stark on the impropriety of his conduct. It would seem this galled the fellow, and must have rankled all night in his mind. From the appearance of the front kitchen, which seemed to be the breakfast room of the family, the young woman must have been at work in the place when Stark made the attack upon her, and the silent struggle between them must have been terri ble. Her hands were cut in several places through the gloves which she had on doing her work. The poor young woman, who is supposed to have been in the family way, is said to have been a sweet, good-tempered girl, of very prepossessing appearance, and her life might have been saved had not her too great love for the mur derer and suicide prevented her giving a timely alarm, as there were several persons in the house at the time. Information of the awful occurrence was in stantly conveyed to the Arbour-square station-house, when Sergeant Shaw, who was acting as inspector at the time, made all the necessary arrangements, by writing to the co roner, and placing officers in the house to preserve every thing in the state in which the scene first presented itself. In a deep pool of blood close to the head of the murderer there was a comb belonging to the young woman, which must have dropped from her hair in the commencement of the struggle. The only object which has been removed is the weapon with which the horrid deed has been committed, and that is wrapped up in a newspaper at the Arbour-square station-house. It is a black-handled carving -knife, covered from the point to the hilt with thick clotted gore. THE, MYSTERIOUS CASE OF POISONING AT BROMLEY. Tke inquiry into the circumstances connected with the death of a young woman named Harriet Monckton, who was found dead from the effects of prussic acid in the month of November, 1843, and ever since which period the inquest has upon various occasions been ad journed, was resumed on Wednesday at the Swan Inn, Bromley before Mr. C. J. Carttar, the Coroner. The occurrence itself excited a very great sensation, and the pe culiar circumstances that afterwards transpired connected with it tended to increase the interest that was felt in the matter by the neighbourhood. It may be necessary, in order that the case should he properly understood, to state a few of the leading facts connected with this mysterious affair, before entering into a detail of the pro ceedings upon the renewed inquiry. The deceased Harriet Monck ton was a member of a Dissenting congregation at Bromley, and she officiated as teacher in the s , unday-school at tached to it. At the time in question she was about to proceed to a situation of a similar kind at Arundel, and had taken leave of an her friends, and was apparently very much pleased at the prospect of her new appointment, wizen sud denly, on the Gth of November she was missed, and in the evening of the following day she was discovered dead in the water-closet attached to the chapel, and the result of a post mortem examination showed that the unhappy deceased was far advanced in pregnawcy, and that prussic acid was the immediate cause of death. There were several circumstances which showed the extreme improbabilit , , if not the actual impossibility, that the deceased destroyed herseft, and the inquiry before the Coroner was adjourned upon several occa sions, in order to afford an opportunity to obtain the necessary evi dence, and at length the Coroner seemed inclined to let the matter altogether drop, but the jury felt so strongly the necessity of further inquiry, that they memorialised the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and the result was that on Wednesday last the jury were assembled, and the Coroner then, it was understood, entered -into some explanation relative to the matter, widen had the effect of satisfying the jury that there was no probability of the cads of justice being frustrated, and eventually the inquiry was again adjourned until yesterday. It should be stated that of the jury impanelled, three could not be brought forward, one having died, another being abroad, and the third having gone to reside in a distant part of the country • twelve gentlemen, however, still remained, and that number on Wednesday assembled. The proceedings appeared to excite very great interest, and the room in which the inquest was held was crowded the mo ment the door was opened. Before the commencement of the proceedings the Coroner had a private communication with the jury, the result or nature of which was not allowed to transpire. The inquiry and examination of wit nesses afterwards occupied more than nine hours'; but, as a good deal of the evidence was merely a repetition of the statements of the witnesses on former occasions it will be unnecessary to go into it in detail. The mother of the deceased deposed that herdaughter was twenty three years old when she died. She said that her daughter had ob tained a situation at Arundel, and appeared pleased that she had done so, and she never entertained the slightest suspicion that sh would destroy herself. The witness also stated that she had n knowledge of her daughter being in the family way. Several other witnesses stated various fasts which have already come before the public. Mr. Flott, the surgeon, who was examined on the former occasion, repeated his testimony that the death of the deceased was clearly attributable to prussic acid, and to no other cause. The inquiry was again adjourned. MONEY MARKET and CIT Y NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—It is understood that several of the railway com panies which have deposits in the Bank in the name of the Accountant-General have determined not to invest them, in consequence of the effect on the prices of the funds by the few orders of the Court yet obtained. Of these, which amount to about 2,500,000/., nor one-half has yet been laid out, and a continued effort pevai ls on te part of the brokers and jobbers to make them pay as high terms as pos sible. Their ruling bodies are naturally induced by this to pause; for they assume that when it becomes necessary for them to s ell, in order to commence their works, the same game will be played against them, Should this forbear ance be generally exercised, and it seems, under all the cir cumstances, to be the most prudent course the railway companies can adopt, it will place at the disposal of the Bank for commercial accommodation the very large funds represented by these deposits—a species of assistance which is highly necessary at the present moment. The late ad vances by the Bank, which were at twenty-one days, and lat terly for as short a period as fourteen days, are most of them at maturity, and the same discretion must be exercised by the directors as that which would govern any private banker in the employment of deposits, the call for Which may take place at any moment. T in his uncertainty places the money market also a difficult position. So that the deposits are brought; out again into circulation, -whether by the Bank venturing to employ them, or by purchases of Government securities foi• investment, it would come nearly to the same thing. That they should remain where they are would un doubtedly cause great inconvenience, for those parties who have lodged their securities with the Bank, and obtained ad vances upon them to be employed in the payment of railway deposits, must in a few days find other notes, and offer other securities in order to set free the first. The Bank by agreeing to go on with the loans, and accept the same securities, can at once relieve this pressure; and when it is seen how small an amount of railway deposits has yet been invested, com pared with the total sum paid in, and that there is a grow mg disposition among the managers of the companies to abstain from investment altogether, there can be no doubt of the safety of using these funds for the benefit of the trading and banking interest. That the Bank Directors are coming to this conclusion may be inferred from the fact that in some loan transactions which have taken place this morning, the period of accom• modation has been again extended to one month, and thi6 may be taken, until ordered otherwise, as the e s tablisher , : rule. There is great want of money acco mmodation all oyez the country, and the Bank can alone at present 'supply_D47c The total amount of railway. d e p os its for the U it • Kingdom is now ascertained, and is as follows .England £1 2 1 :5 4 9003 9 3 7 00 1 00 9 1 0 0 0 Ireland Scotland ... - COURT OF EXCHEQUEIi., Fell. 12. (Sittings after Term at Nisi Prius, before the Loan CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) DANIELS V. FIELDING. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for alleged false imprisonment. Mr. Jervis, Mr. Humfrey, and Mr. Pollock, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Martin and Mr. Jones for defendants. The plaintiff, it appeared, was a wholesale perfumer in Brompton some time since, and was engaged last autumn in railway speculations, when several transactions took place between him and the defendants, Mr. George Fielding and Mr. John Fielding, stockbrokers, at Manchester, by which it was alleged that a balance became due fo defendants. The defendants, in consequence of an affidavit made before one of the judges, that the plaintiff was about to leave the country, obtained a capias for his arrest, and he was accordingly arrested on the 12th of November last. The circumstance which led to the statement made by defendant in obtaining the capias— that plaintiff was about to leave the country—was that he had stated to defendant a short time previously, that he in tended to go to France for a few days along with his wife, on a pleasure excursion ; a n d th e defendant stated the fact of his leaving the country, without stating the circum stances under which he was leaving, or the time he intended to be away. On application made to Judge Patteson, the order was set aside, and the bail discharged, when the Learned Judge was made acquainted with the circumstances under which it was procured. The object, therefore, of the present action was to obtain damages for what was alleged to be a malicious arrest. The affidavits sworn before the Judge were put in, and se veral witnesses were examined to prove t he above facts, and that plaintiff had no intention of leaving the country or re mainin Cr abroad. Mr. MARTIN addressed the jury at considerable length for the defence, and contended that there was no malice whatever in the arrest. All that the defendant wished was security for the debt. The LORD CHIEF BARON then addressed the jury, and after explaining the law of arrest, adverted to the circum stances which had been adduced in evidence, and left the case entirely in the hands of the jury, wbo he trusted would not suppose that in the remarks he made he gave an opinion one way or other. The jury, after s short. consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5!. , The Court then rose. £14,920,74 7 9 10 CHrewrsTEn ELEcTio N .—The Town llall of Chiche ter, on Tuesday, witnessed a curious ceremony called the selecti. hirogglf at the hustings as an ad‘ of a representative in Parliarne»tti.w(:loiriirli,J,Tiliunirleet,ilisi)o,xhhismu'lenpghel ciftotie.da itileiew7riro,euigniii.(xl:ypareec,eeriiti,ta4 cate for protection.

Joseph and William Heron, soli citors to the Association, on Saturday, and it was numerously at tended. Considerable difference of opinion prevailed with respect to the subject which ha& been under consideration on the preceding Tuesday—viz., the reduction of the hours of factory labour from twelve to eleven hours, upon the passing of Sirßobert Peel's proposed tariff; and, after sonic discussion, it was agreed that Lord Ashley's Bill should be strenuously opposed, and that the consideration of the proposal for working eleven hours should be postponed until after the passing of Sir K. Peel's measures.—Manchester Guardian. THE SILK TRADE.—The announcement of a reduction of duties has caused the most lively sensation amongst the manufacturers of silk, and protective societies are said to be in the course of formation in the metropolis and the manu facturing districts. The general impression appears to be that the changes will take place, and many of the first houses (Messrs. Everington and Graham amongst the num ber of those in the retail trade) have already announced their determination to meet the loss at once ; .but in this it would seem there exists a keen observant poicy, inasmuch as, by getting rid of their present stocks at the rate, or even less than they would cost upon the Continent, the far-seeing English salesman is prepared to buy the newest and most recherche goods to start in competition with the Preach , themulyee when the new tea comes ilato.44ratiOnt OAKS. 8 to 1 agat Forth's lot INTELLIGENCE EXTRA, CATTERICK BRIDGE, 1846.

This Company held their usual half-yearly meeting at the Board-room, Paddington, yesterday, at which there was a large attendance of shareholders. Charles Russell, Esq., M.P., having taken the chair, the advertisement calling the meeting was read, and the seal affixed to the deeds of register. The CHAIEIIAN proceeded to address the meeting, which he did at great length. Having congratulated the meeting upon the statements contained in the report relative to the results of reducing the fares and increasing the accommoda tion, he went on to observe upon the projects the Company had then in progres-, and the position of hostility in which they were obliged to stand in regard to the Birmingham and South Western Companies. With regard to the former, the di rectors did not think that the terms offered them were at all commensurate with what the Great Western had a right to expect ; and, therefore, all negotiations between them and the Birmingham had ceased; and, as regards the latter, he would not then enter into a series of charges of bad faith against them, as they would be brought forward at the proper time before the Parliamentary Committees. With respect to the Bristol and Exeter Company rejecting the terms of amalgamation, be regretted they had done so ; but when their lease expired, this Company would be glad to meet them again. In reply to a suggestion from the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, that lists of the shares held by the Great Western Company in other Compa nies should be laid upon the table, be would beg to say that these lists were ready ; but he would also say that it would not be very judicious, for many reasons, to read those lists ; but he hoped the shareholders bad sufficient confidence in them not to believe them capable of acting as stags and stock jobbers. The Hon. Member continued to address the meeting at some length upon the nature of the projects they had in contemplation, and the general state of the Company's affairs, and win-it he had concluded, The SECRETARY read the report, which was one of con siderable length, but the substance of which was,: that not withstanding that they had reduced their fares, and placed an additional number of carriages on the line, their traffic had in creased beyond their anticipation. The former had increased in one year, from 960,U(0 to over 1,000,000, and the latter from 90,000 tons to 150,000 tons ; and the account of receipts and expenditure shows a balance to December, 184.5, of over 3 1,000/. to the credit of the company. The report went on to say, that after paying certain rents, tolls, &c., a dividend of four par cent. might be declared, and still leave a balance to the credit of the current half year of over 6,8001. After a few words from Lord Reddesdale, suggesting that the Company should take no steps until the Gauge Com mission had sent in their report, the meeting agreed to adopt the director's report, and resolutions founded thereon. The usual vote of thanks was passed, and the meeting se parated. READING, GUILDFORD, and REI GATE RAILWAY. A joint meeting of the shareholders in the above line was held at the London Tavern yesterday, in order that the Di • rectors might explain to them the present position of the amalgamated Company, and take their opinion on the future proceedings. The chair was taken by DAVID SALOMONS, Esq., who read a report of the state of the Company; from which it ap peared that the amalgamation of the Reading and Reigate and Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway Companies had been formed on principles likely to be very advantageous to both. The usual deposit of 10 per cent. had been made, and very little opposition was expected from the landowners re sident near the line. The local traffic alone would give a profit of 6 per cent., exclusive of all traffic that would pass over the entire length of the line. The report also dwelt strongly on the fact that the line might be consi dered as one of that class of national defensive lines referred to in Parliament by Sir Robert Peel, as it connected the arsenals of Wttolwich and Chatham with Portsmouth, South ampton, Plf mouth, and other ports in the British channel, and concluded by an assurance that with regard to the sur veying and engineering business, and all other matters to be inquired into by the Standing Orders Committee, the line was quite complete and ready to go to Parliament with every anticipation of a favourable result. After a few brief remarks the Chairmin concluded by expressing a hope that the shareholders would continue to repose in their directors that confidence which they had always shown, and assuring them that the directors were ready to do for them anything they might require, and give them every information they could expect. Several shareholders inquired what were the expanses of the Companies, and the amount of capital subscribed upon each. The CHAIRMAN said he could not enter into a detailed ac count, but the expenses of each Company had been in round numbers about 14,000/. The capital subscribed in the Read ing and Reigate line was about 38,0001., and on the Reading, Reigate, and Guildford about 54,090, giving a total of 92,000/. Several voices in the room expressed dissatisfaction at the large expenses incurred. A SHAREHOLDER made a few remarks with regard to the satisfactory condition of the line, and proposed a resolution expressing thanks to the chairman and directors, and also expressing entire confidence in them. An amendment was proposed requiring an immediate state ment of accounts. The CHAIRMAN said the shareholders ought not to com plain of the expenses, for if they at first started two lines in stead of one, and incurred the expense attendant upon sur veying and getting up two lines, when they knew that one line would do, was it their own fault., The directors would, however, be happy to send round to every shareholder a state ment of accounts in detail.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WATKINS, a shareholder, said that he thought the amendment ought to be put to the meeting, and if passed, he would propose another, to the effect that the meeting should adjourn until the detailed accounts were produced.— (Cries of "No, no," through the room.) • The CHAIRMAN begged Mr. Watkins to consider he had no wish that the Company should be put. down in the papers as a disorderly meeting. There was every disposition to give a detailed account, and those accounts they would, if the shareholders pleased, produce in a week, or even three days, should they require it. The directors would be very happy to overhaul them with the shareholders, and let blame fall on those who deserved it. A SIIAREIIOLDER asked if the directors of the united com panies had taken anything for their services ?—( Loud hisses. ) Mr. LEVFSON Gomm, the chairman of . the Reading and Reigate, said that they had not taken a shilling, or even a glass of cold water, at the shareholders' expense. The CHAIRMAN said he had had nothing from the Company but a great deal of trouble.—(Laughter.) The sense of the meeting was so strongly expressed against this question that it was withdrawn, and the questioner joined in an expression of satisfactidn at the business-like way in which the chairman had conducted the proceedings. The original motion of thanks to and confidence in the di rectors was then put, and carried unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated.
