FARRINGDON- STREET AND FIELD-LANE. Mr. R. WILLIAMS (ong of the members for Farring don - without ware) moved "That the greater portion of the houses being condemned by the district surveyor, under the Building Act, the same be included in the propose d Bill fir the improvements at Holborn-bridge. lie represented the subject as one of serious import ance to the citiz , ns of London, itrismuch as Field-lane was one of the greatest ab , min . -itions in the whole metropolis, and it was absurd to think of prweeding with the buildings in Farringdon-street until such nui sance be removed." Mr. Low thought it would be unwise in the Corpora• tion to encumber itself with the ground upon which Field-lane stood, and moved as an amendment that the question be referred to a Committee. Af:er some dis cussion the amenriment was agreed to. TUE SURVEY OF THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TIIE THAMES. The following report was brought up, which caused a good deal of interest in the Court:— '• We whose names are hereunto subscribed, your Committee appointed on the 22d 'day of October to meet the Court of Aldermen or a Committee thereof; upon an order of the Court of Aldermen of the 29th September last, and to report to this Court, do certify that, having had a lengthened interview with a Committee cf the Court of Aldermen appointed to meet us, we find that the recent view of the western district of the river Thames by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen was made by them under a resolution of the Court of Aldermen of the 27th of June, nearly a month prior to the standing order of the Court of the 20th of July, and upon referring to the several Acts of Parliament of the 24th George 11., the 11th, 15th, 28th, and 35th George 111., for the better carrying on and regulating the navigation of the river Thames and Isis, from the City of London westward to the town of Crichlade, whereby the Mayor and Alder men of the City of London are, with other persons, made Commissioners, and whereby powers are given to the I Commissioners to view and superintend the sewing, locks, weirs, and flood-gates, in the river, and to in quire into the rates and tolls paid upon the same, the regulation of the water, and the navigation, as well as the cleansing and clearing those rivers, being also given to them ; the rights of the Corporation of London being nevertheless reserved, and under one of which Acts cer tain works are prohibited without the consent of the Corporation of London —powers material for the inte rests of the city, and necessary for the due protection of the river and navigation. " That after due inquiry and consideration of these Acts, your Committee are of opinion that benefits have been derived to this city from the recent survey. " That on the 15th of September the Lord Mayor laid before the Court of Aldermen a report of the proceedings on the survey, in which he stated that he felt it to be his duty to draw their particular attention to the various Acts of Parliament which have been passed from time to time for the improvement of the navigation of the river Thames, and Isis in the upper districts, and feeling fully confident that unless the navigation in those districts is properly attended to, the locks and other works kept in good order and repair, and suitable reductions made in the tolls and lock charges, it will be impossible for the barge-owners successfully to compete with the carriage of goods and merchandise by means of railways, and that consequently all interest connected with the above portion of the river must be most seriously affected, if not ultimate:y destroyed. And when the importance of the trade by inland navigation between the cities of London and Bristol, and the adjoining counties and dis tricts, is duly considered, and how essential it is to the interests of all parties concerned that every facility should be afforded to retain and, if possible, to increase the same, which can only be done by maintaining the line in the most efficient state, and by suitable modi fications aid reduction of, tolls where the same presses heavily - on the.public, it becomes obvious that surveys of a similar nature to the present, having for it s v i ew those desirahle objects, are both requisite and important, as well as tending to keep up a friendly communication and intercourse between the local commissioners and magistrates of the Corporation of London, who, by virtue of their office, under the authority of Parliament, are likewise commissioners of the upper districts of the liver Thames. EAST COAST RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday, at eleven o'clock, at their offices, 2, Moorgate-street, to decide, under the Dissolu tions' Act, whether,they:should go on with the'company, or dissolve. William Morley, Esq., in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, the Secretary read the report. It set out with a detail of the company's pro ceedings before Parliament, opposed, as it had been, by the Eastern Counties and the Lynn and Ely companies. The scheme was defeated, mainly, it was alleged, by the East Coast line not being grouped in the same Committee with the Eastern Counties (Manchester to Lincoln) and Lynn and Ely lines, the expenses, on account of the pro tracted struggle had been very great. The receipts were 20,199/. I3s. 9d., and the expenditure 16,6711. 4s. 10d., leaving a balance in hand of 3,528/. Bs. l ld. There were outstanding claims that would reduce the ',balance to 2,445/. 4s. 4d. The CHAIRMAN said such was the position of the company, and the plain question before them was, would they agree to dissolve and receive back 7s. a share, or wait a little longer and see if some beneficial arrange ment could not be made with an existing company. He might say that some negotiation was in progress, though he could not state anything definitely on the question at present. The directors, therefore, asked the shareholders to wait ten days or a fortnight longer, to see what might be done. Mr. Hon, wished a time to be fixed for another meet. ing. The notices for a fresh app'ication to Parliament must be made within fourteen days, and he submitted that they should meet again before the expiration of that period. " The Chairman of the Upper Districts informed the Lord Mayor that whenever any of the private locks came into the market for disposal, the Commissioners endeavoured to purchase them for the benefit of the public. " His Lordship cannot refrain from alluding to the subject of toll., and particularly to the statement of the Chairman of the Commissioners, as to the necessity of reducing them upon the whole line, and his hope that the private lockowners would unanimously assent to a reduced toll throughout the entire extent of the navi gation. " The L.)rd Mayor also expressed his approbation of the state of the works generally, and of the improve• went being carried on for the benefit of the navigation in both districts ; and he avails himself of this oppor tunity to convey to his brethren of the Court of Alder ' men the assurance of the Commissi,,ners, as expressed by their Chairman, of their satisfaction at visits like the the present, materially tending to keep up that mutual good understanding and friendship so essential to exist between all the authorities connected with the naviga- Von of the river Thames. "That, on the 29th day of September, the Lori Mayor before the Court of Aldermen an account of e expenses o`• the view, amounting to the sum of 693/. ss. 9 1., sad the Court, in pursuance there(); ordered the pay menr, by the Chamberlain, of that sum to the Waterbailiff. 6' That on the Ist of October the order for payment was presented to the Chamberlain, but which be re fused to pay, giving the following reasons in writing, viz :--- Mr. GURNEY said that from the days the Lincolnshire papers were published on it would not be possible to give the necessary advertisements, so as to hold a legal meeting, and r 14 days. The CHAIRMAN pledged himself that a meeting would be called on as early a day as the law would allow, at which they would submit any arrangement .that might be come to in the interim. The vote was then formally taken whether the corm pany should be dissolved or go forward. Votes present For dissolution Against a dissolution ........ • r 4 ,9'30 The CHAIRMAN then intimated that'it would require 2,674 shares to constitute a full meeting under the Act. There being a deficiency of 554 votes, the meeting would have to be adjourned for is week. The vote was next taken as to whether, in the event of the company being dissolved, it should be considered an act of bankruptcy. The question being put, was decided in the negative. The meeting was then adjourned till Tuesday next. " The payment of the sum of 6931. ss. 9(1. mentioned in the order of the Court of Aldermen, of the 29th of September, 1846, hereunto annexed, and marked with my initials, without the previous authority of the Com mon Council, upon motion for that purpose, would have b. en in contradiction of a resolution and order of a Court of Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Cour.cil assembled, held on the 20th day of July, 1846. I am, therefore, con strained to decline payment of the sum above mentioned without such pr=evious authority of the Common Council as is above re:erred to. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD . RAILWAY. Fellow-Shareholders,—Our property is in peril ! On Friday an attempt will be made to amalgamate our undertaking with the Dudley line. Beware of consenting to it. I doubt not the directors, deeply in terested as they individually are, will be provided with proxies to carry the union, unless a determined stand is made. If it is consummated we shall be pliced entirely in the power of the Great Western. The London and Birmingham Company are, I am told on authority, ready to guarantee us nine per cent. If united to the Dudley line, they cease to feel an interest in offer ing any terms. Pause, then, at least until you know whether the Great Western will give us a better offer. No danger can arise from delay. Once allied, our power of negotiation is gone. Let us adjourn the decision. London, Oct. 28. A PROPRIETOR. " 'Dated this Ist day of October, 1846. " A. BROW s N, Chamberlain.' " That as it appears to your Committee, that the stand ing orders of the 20th day of July lust, lead to the re fusal by the Chamberlain, we have considered such standing order, and particularly with reference to the report of tt:e Committee on the City and Bridge-house accounts, of the 18th day of December, 1845, and the pr•:ceeeing of this Court thereon, on the 19th of March of this year. And under all the circumstances, confining this inquiry solely to the matter referred to us, we re commend that the standing order of the 20th day of July last be suspended, so far as relates to the order of the Court of Althrmen of the 29th day of September t. _ _ "All which we submit to the judgment of this Honour able Court. Dated this 29th day of October, 1846. o THOMAS CORNEY, HENRY LURN, "T. H. HALL, EDWARD HARRISON.' " JOHN DIXON, AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANY. An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors in this undertaking was held yesterday, at the Company's offices, No. 1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge; Mr. S. G. Capper in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the directors felt much pleasure in being able to state that the expectations held out at the last annual general meet ing had been realised. Advices had been received from the committee of management in Australia, announcing that they had last March selected, and on behalf of the company claimed, especial survey of 20,000 acres, situated at a place called Reedy Creek, about forty miles from Adelaide and ten miles from the river Murray. These advices, which were dated March 28, represented that good copper existed in several places on the suxface of the land in question, at points about three miles apart from each other; that the roads from thence to the town and Port Adelaide were very good ; that excellent springs of water and grass were very abundant ; and that the selection made was altogether of the must pro mising character. It appeared that in other points the undertaking was in a very prosperous condition. The report was agreed to, and the meeting separated. Deputy CORNET, in moving that the Court should agree to the report, said it would be necessary to have a Bill prepared, and brought in, establishing the right of the Court, and iso framed as to unite the powers of the two Courts as to the expenditure of the Corporation funds. By that means future differences between the two Courts would be completely avoided. Mr. ANDERTON said lie should always wish to see the rights and privileg sof the two Courts untouched. The Chamberlain Lai 'Acted with admirable independenc e and judgment, and certainly deserved the marked thanks of the Cburt. It would be necessary to pass an Act, and he would wish to have the question fully discussed when the Bill was ready. Mr. ASHURST moved as an amendment that the amount of the ex tenses should be forthvvith paid, and that the City Solicitor should be directed to prepare a Bill. Mr. Low (Chairman of the City Lends Committtee) lirought up the report of the committee, setting forth a letter rec e i ve d f rom M r. Charles Fowler, architect, re questing to be informed, for the information of the Lord Chancellor, whether the Corporation of London would be disposed to sell the site of ground lately occupied by the Fleet Prison, or any portion of the lease, for the purpose of erecting thereon the new Courts of Bank ruptcy. The letter stated that the present courts could be given up to the City if it were considered expedient. The Chairman moved that the letter be referred to the Committee to examine and report, with r ower to confer with the Improvement Committee, and with the Lord Chancellor's surveyor in relation thereto. The only reason for applying at the present moment was to enable the Lord Chancellor to have the necessary Parliamen tary notices given, which he was unwilling to effect unless under an arrangement with the City. Mr. T. 11. HALL hoped the Committee would to care ful, in their communications upon the subject, to guard against giving any reason to believe that the City would willingly acquiesce in the removal of any of the Courts from a central position to one beyond or at the extremity of the city. He spoke of the great inconvenience to which merchants and men of business would be sub jected by attending, or sending their clerks to distant courts, with which they necessarily had so much to do. Mr. R. L. JONES expressed a similar opinion, adding that when upon a late occasion he hal given evidence before a Committee of the Legislature upon the subject, Le had expressly stated that he felt assured the greatest objections would be entertained by mercantile ion c t i i t ot i n z h e e n w s ac ge si ty n t heferonarl agreed the er t e o ecdo a u n t y rot.s o t o h f e r law than anda central b a n position m d ruTpthc)e..

THE STREET-PAVEMENT PROBLEM SOLVED. ---The excessive traffic through the streets of London, caused by the great increase of vehicles of every description, has caused great difficulty in keeping the carriage -ways in repair. Paving upon many plans, and of every variety of material, has been tried, but none wholly answer . A " Pavier," who wr it es to the Times, appears, however, to have at last solved the problem. The plan he suggests is to lay alternate paving of wood and stone, both narrow as the stone at p resen t laid in Cheapside, th e a d vantage of which will be a firm foothold, wet or d ry, for as wood is slippery wh en wet, so is is granite wh en d ry. EASTERN COUNTIES •,—Another shameful att emp t to throw a train off the line was made on Sunday even ing week. On the train which left Chelmsford at eight o'clock in the evening nearing Ingatestone station, a slight obstruction upon the line was felt, and upon exa mination it was found that an iron chain had been wilfully placed across it, but was fortunately crushed by the weight of the engine.

Mr. Gor don's handbill contains no direct allusion to myself.. It is now a matter of public notoriety that a misunder standing, has arisen between him and me. That being so, no good can be obtained from my alluding to it here, and I wish to allude to it to this extent, and to this ex tent only—to say that, after what has passed between us before, any misunderstanding with Mr. Gordon is deeply painful to me ; that it will probably expose me to imputations of ingratitude. That imputation I am prepared to meet ; and I am not without a hope (and if it can be so I shall be delighted), that this night's meet ing may afford an opening for the removal of our mis understanding—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—and for an agreement perfectly satisfactory to myself and to my friends.—(Cheers.) But Mr. Philip Dodson's hand bill is in the form of a letter from him to me, and with regard to him I have something more to say. Mr. Dod son has thought it necessary to announce his intention of being present at this meeting, and ha challenges me to repeat in his presence statements which, he is in• formed, I made elsewhere, when he was not present to meet them. He says he is " fully aware of the license which is usually allowed during a canvass." Now I must be permitted to remark, that I have been making no canvass. I came here to pay a visit of compliment and respect to my constituents.—(Cheers.) During the last week I was engaged in caring upon all of them, without reference to politics or party ; I intended, at least, to call on all, and if I have made any omission, it has been accidental, and I trust will be forgiven. I have, how ever, taken the opportunity (though it cannot be called a canvass) of contradicting a number of false rumours which I find have been circulated in this town to my prejudice, and of assuring my constitutents that if they approved of my political conduct, and would stand by me, it was my wish and intention to stand by them— whatever certain parties, for purposes of their own, had asserted to the contrary.—(Loud cheers.) Well, Mr. Dod son says, "he is fully aware of the license allowed during canvass," and challenges me to say to his face what I have stated in his absence! Now, I tell Mr. Philip Dod son that he little understands my character (and he has hag! more opportunities of knowing it than most people), if lee thinks that during my canvass, or on any other ocsungen, I would allow my tongue a license to depart from truth—(Loud cheers)—or if he thinks that I shall shrink from charging him to his face with the treason to me, of which I have accused him elsewhere.—(lm mense sensation, followed by loud bravos, and three rounds of cheers.) And now. gentlemen, I proceed to state, in the presence of Mr. Philip Dodson, who knows it, and in the presence of you, the electors of Weymouth, who will be as much astounded by it as I have been, that up to the time of my arrival on Monday week last, I believed, with many strong reasons for my belief, that Mr. Dodson was my most zealous and attached friend ; that he was entirely in my confidence up to thdt time, and that I believed I was entirely in his ; thiit I consulted him as I have done since the begin ning of my connexion with you—(making no secret of it)—on all matters connected with the consti tuency, and that I was adri.ed by him ; that latterly I consulted him on the propriety of issuing an ad dress, stating my intention to be again a candidate for the representation of this borough, after the re turn of Mr. Bernal to his old constituency of Rochester; that only one week before I came hero (last Monday fortnight), I met him at his own request at Dorchester; that then, for the first time, he expressed his strong wish that I should not come here at present, saying that my return was so certain that there was no occasion for my presence, which might create political excitement, and disturb the harmony of the municipal elections; that on my coming here I discovered—for three days I struggled against the belief—(a warning which I had previously disregarded, and showed my confidence' in him so much that I even sent it to him)—for three days I struggled against the belief—but I discovered that, %bile in my confidence and professing himself my friend, he has been doing his utmost with some of my staunchest friends (who, all praise be to them, re sisted his attempts), to get them to tell me that I had no chance here—that I must leave this constituency, and that he will get some influentsl member of the Government to displace me, or some person of rank and wealth ; for which, gentlemen, in the first instance, you did not elect me, and for the, want of which I know you will not desert me (Tremendous.cheering). And now, gentlemen, I have repeated, in his presence, what 1 stated elsewhere. Let me observe that I have not stated anything, to any one, since I came here, without giving him full liberty to state it to his face. Now, "it is due to his character," he says, "that these statements should bo repeated in his presence." I think you will say with me, that there is something else due to his character, and that is—that these statements should, in your presence, electors of Weymouth, be refuted. Your love of fair play will give him that opportunity. I give him only one word of warning—my witnesses of his treachery are in the room. And now, gentlemen, that I have been forced, contrary to my original intention, to enter into this most painful statement, I feel that you are not likely to listen with patience and composure to that account of my conduct in Parliament, as your representative, which I had other wise intended to render to you—(Go on)—but there are one or two points to which I should be obliged to you to listen to me, and I will promise you, under the cir cumstances of the moment, to be extremely brief. When you elected me in 1841, the question on which all the constituencies of the country, and Weymouth amongst the number, were divided, was the question of free trade or protection.—(Hear, hear.) I appeared before you on the hustings as a free-trader— as a free-trader you returned me to Parliament, and as a free-trader in Parliament I have acted. I have been told that these are one or two persons among you who have taken great offence at the part I have taken in sup- port of free-trade principles.—(A Voice—" They are very few.") I can only say that if they have been offended with me they should never have voted for me. I did not appear before you under false colours.—(Hear, hear.) If they supported me as a free-trader, the fault is with them and not with me. But after the enthusiastic recep tion with which I mat from my constituents in the course of last week, I am sure of this—that the great bulk of the constituency are not displeased at the course I have pursued ; and that one great reason of the enthusiasm with which they received me was, that from the first day Vita your kindness placed me in Parliament I have lost n , ) opportunity of voting for free trade—(Cheers)—that I have voted annually for Mr. Villiers's motion ; that freedom, which in that great struggle for commercial which has been crowned with triumphant success—the voice of one of the Members for Weymouth has beets heard at the meetings of the Anti-Corn-law League— (Cheers) —that I joined that body before the summer birds had flown to it, and that I did not wait for the hour of its triumph to attach myself to the cause of free trade.—(Load cheering.)
