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 Bletchley, the weather_ began to lower, and as the train proceeded, showers of rain fell, which continued until it arrived at Be df or d. The journey was performed in three-quarters of an Owing to the length of the train , so me dela y too k ex- , hour. laoe in getting it into the station, and a carriage.almost elusively occupied by ladies, in the very middleg much train, by some accident got off the line, o consternation for the moment ; but as n tely restored. .serious conse quences ensued, good humour was mut?, There were upwards of 600 ladies and gentlemen in the train, for whom refreshments were ar pr t o y vi o d f ed a a b t o th at e 2 s o ta o tio sa n t . Shortly after three o'clock p a oms, Bedford, which was down to dinner in the N ggins : ew of the Swan Hotel. Thomas provided by Mr. Hi of the company, pre- John Green, Esq., the ch ai rman sided. Amongst those present we observed,—H. Stewart, Esq., M.P., Alexander Sharman Esq. (the Mayor of Bedford), the Rev. Dr. Brereton, Samuel C. Whitbread, Esq., J. Astell, Esq., R. Liadsell, Esq., Rev. W. Botler Smith, H. Littledale, Esq., Prendergast Esq. (Re corder of Bedford), Sir IL Varney, the Rev. Dr. Moun tain, A. E. Farrer, 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., Rev. G. Phillinaore, W. D. Cooper, Esq., Captain finish (manager of the London and North- Western Railway Company). H. P. Bruyeres, Esq. (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.) Ile 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 had 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 MidlMid 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 catalpa ; 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 tied 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 kingdom,would 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 Cheltenham 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 fotm 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 co ninenced 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 pended it one of the harbours of refuge, and it was most important that it and. the other ports situated on the east coast should be placed in a direct line of communication to the west instead of, es now, by a eircuitoesand expensive route. Looking at this line, in a classical point of view, the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge would be brought within a morning'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 London and North-Western Company ; and even if a direct line from the metrop l li s to Bedford was ultimately made, for he would not dis guise that the line was circuitous, it could not be accom • plished for many years, but in the meantime they had all the advantages of such an eligible connexion. Although it was circuitous, it would enable 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 England; but the lines with which it would be associated would amply ac complish this effect. He 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 onatecountof 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. TOOTAL rose to return thanks. He said it was very gratifying to hear the way in which the toast had 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 conveniencies which the country had a right to expect, and that it would promote iu an eminent degree the prosperity of the town of Bedford.—(Cheers.) The chairman had alluded to the immonse 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 rig ht to expect.— (Applause.) Th e y h a d not, i t was tr ue, 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.), .11e.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 duties of the office he held, ho should endeavour to do all in his power to promote the interests of the town of Bed ford.—(Cheers.) 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 to completion.—(Cheers.) 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. lag, and to sit at a festive board as well furnished as the present.—(Cheers.) Sir HARRY VERNEY, M.P., in returning thanks, said the interests of the two lines were identical, the dis tricts they traversed were similar in resources, and they were each dependant in a great d egree 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 advantage which could be conferred upon an agricultural district.--(Leud cheers.) They had long wanted to im prove - thetonnty, 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 Cuarnstare then proposed the Members for the county—Mr. Astell and Lord Alford. Mr. ASTELL.,jun., returned thanks for his father. San g —•.' A Thousand a Year," by M r . Ril e y. Mr. ' LITTLEDans proposed the health of Mr. Pearce, the solicit or t o t h e company, w h o, h o sa i d, had treated all who Caine into communication with him, with the greatest courtesy. The toast was drunk with acclamation. Mr. PEARC E briefly returned thanks.

Mr. SCOTT briefly returned thanks. Whilst he nio destly took credit for having done his duty, he con sidered that they were much indebted to Mr. Jackson, the contractor, for the efficient manner in which he had executed the works.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave the " Landowners on the line, but especially the Duke of Bedford," whose pro perty, he said, was intersected by the line to a greater amount than that of any other landowner, and who had treated them in the most liberal manner. The toast was warmly responded to. The next toasts were " The Duchess of Bedford," the Members for the Borough," Mr. F. Polhill and Mr. F. Stewart, which were all well received, and the company separated, 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 nature 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. Various steps had bees taken to stay the progress of the Bill, and effect an immediate dissolution of the company, and on the II th 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. 43., and proposed to return to the scripholders I/. Is. per share. Upon the balance-sheet, the committee of management remark at great length, and state that, instead of their being 9,906/. Bs. l Id. at the bankers, and in the shape of securities, there was only about 264 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 3,680 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. Scard, the only director who has answered said, he never had the custody 'of any shared, but that as to 120 of them, which were given to him for a loan of 200/., they would be deliver.2d to the committee. It will thus- be seen that in addition to the trafficking in the shares with the money of the company, the retaining those shares when purchased, in their own hands, and the secret manner pia which the cheques for the share traffic were drawn, not only is there no such sum as 9,906/ Bs. Bd.. but 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 Oat. handed the committee what he called a true balance- sheet, by which it appeared that after payment of all claims and liabilities there was left 7,115/. 173. Id., or 15s, 4d. per share to return to the scripholders. The cash remain ir, in Messrs. Twining's now amounts to 12,4221. Is. Bd.; Messrs. Rogers, 8/. 18s. 9d.; 11. - ssrs. Hatikey's 41.65. 2d., which, with the 1,200 shares, constitutes the present available assets of the company. The outstanding claims amount to 6,100/. or thereabouts, exclusive of the costs of the suits, leaving a present balance of 6,322/. &Visible among a numbr of shareholders at present unascertained. 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 bona fide shareholders, or what was to constitute a ma jority, or into what number of shares the balance of the fundin hand was to be divided;` that it would be prudent to retain the entire fend to abide the decision of the Court ; and they cannot recommend any division at present. The committee state it to be absolutely neces- Mr. DANIELS moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Horooon 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 betbre. Ho should move that the meeting he 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 tbnately the meeting was adjourned until to •morrow fort night, to give the scripholders time to consider the report, and the steps to be taken to bring the affairs of the com pany to a speedy termination. SQUTEi-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. A general meeting of this company was held at the principal terminus, at Nine Elms, yesterday, at one o'clock; Mr. Chaplin, chairman of the company, in the chair, which was very numerously attended. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, • The CLIAIRMAN called up,n the Secretary, Mr. Campbell, to read the report, from which it appeared that, the purchase of the Richmond Railway hav 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 directors would assure the proprietors that no pains have been spared in preparing for Parliament lines from Wimble 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 Godalming, aid between Portsmouth and Fareham, has been completed—the shareholders in the Guild ford Extension and Portsmouth and Fareham 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 Romsey 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 nising 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 such 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 la s t 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 to its greater purpose as part of the proposed South- 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 b , ar in mind this company have agreed to hire in perpetuity, themselves holding one-fourth of the capital; and the di rec t ors have great confidence that the now improved branches towards Bridport and Dorches ter, the addition of lines to Sidmouth and Citarmouth (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 the 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 exceed 2/. 15s. on each 501. share in the original capital, nor 10s. on each 251. share in the new capital. In the last session an Act was passed for . making a railway from Exeter to Exmouth, its powers b4ng• suspended in their operation until the passing of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester The directors have agreed to adopt this important local line as apart of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorcheter scheme, if the latter bo sanctioned by Parliament, and that the company shall find one-fourth of the 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 session with draw in favour of this company, and the directors, therefore, propose that the entire lines west of Exeter should.bo undertaken directly by their proprietary. The central line to Truro has been considerably shortened, the works much reduced, and the gradients improved so as to contrast triumphantly in security, inclinations, and distance, with the coast line. Branch lines are contem plated to St. Austell's, St. Columb, and radSIOW Harbour, • ► 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 from 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 Crediton. 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 subscribe. 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 50/, 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 CHAIRMAN said that it was. Mr. 14Ein 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 Southampt•n Steam-packet Company, to enable them the more speedily to establish a line of vessels to Havre, with a vies to facilitate the continental intercourse. Mr. W. 'l'm seconded this resolution, stating that the Brighton Company were already engaged in the con sruetion of steamers to run to Dieppe. After some considerable discussion the vote was agreed'to, and after a complimentary vote to the offi cials 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.

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 be 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 and 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 i m p or t ance. Bonded wheat 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; fcr a cargo of moderately good red 585., and for middling Dantzic 60s. to 61s.per quarter 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 6d per quarter higher than that for 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 for ce d o ff at s li g h t l y 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, but 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 q ua lit y; even these sorts were, however, not by any means c h ea p er on F r i day 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 quar 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 sonic 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 whole 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 curlency 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 hands ome samp l es o f grey and maple, h ave been held pretty firmly. Foreign white peas, of which the . arrivals have lately been liberal, have been offered 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 torward 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, for 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 equal 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 of the inland navigation was ex peeled 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 a sale had been made, and the value of most articles have remained nominally unaltered. Barley for 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 Ilamburgh some purchases of wheat appear to Lave ! been made on French aceount, 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 Saale had been held at 38s. 6d., but the hi g h est bid ob tained had not exceeded 37 5 . 9. per quarter. The de mand for oats bad 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 6th 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 548.3 d. to 565., and Polish Odessa, 56e. to 575. Bd. per quarter.—Mark•lane Express. ARRIAGE OF THE DUKE OF Wei find of the ndth Duke i e follo wn BORDEAUX. the a E u x sp Esprit contains Public:--"The incidents which g in de Bordeau x which it is well for the public to be acquainted with ; it is a c onsequence 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. de Metternich on all occasions systematically opposed every project of marriage proposed for the young Prince. Lie 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 the 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 Rome were necessary, and were im mediately obtained from the head of the Church, in the same manner as M. Rossi had obtfiined them for the Duke de Montpensier, without making the subject a question of diplomacy; and when the intelligence of their having b ee n granted reached M. de Broglie, the French Charge d'Affaires, 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 for a fait accompli.

ALDION 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 seek to meet with that demand will profit from the state of the market. The relation of a few facts will serve to show what the present state of that market is. The amount of duty on plate glass, which was entirely remit ted in 1845, averaged from 35 to 40 per cent. on the cost. Since that remission, the reduction in price to the consumer has not averaged more than 15 per cent., and at this price the demand far exceeds supply. These facts are clearly proved by statistical tables, and the difference between 35 per cent. (taking it at the lowest), and 15 per cent. will show the probable profits of the new company; . . and this merelyca.lculatingupon the remissioa ofd uty,with• out takingintoaccount the extra profits on capital to be re• alised froin 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 Excise, 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. BURKE'S HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY OP ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND. TWO VO LE.-- This valuable work is ut length completed, and after a careful examination, from time to time, of its merits, we have no hesitation in saying that, from its general accu racy, and the vast care bestowed upon its compilation and printing, it will be productive of much and lasting credit, both to editors and publisher, A work of thi s kind is of a national value. Its utility is not merely temporary, but it will exist and be acknowledged as long as the families whose names and genealogiesare recorded in it continue to form an integral portion of the English constitution. As a correct record of descent, no family should be without it, inasmuch as the information it con veys relative to collateral as well as lineal genealogy, may prove absolutely requisite to establish claims to rank or property, which so commonly, in the absence of a lick in the historical evidence, fail to be granted ; and from its national character, no library, public or private, can fail to procure W—Morning Past. EFFECTUAL REMEDY FOR PERPETUAL LIFTING OF STREET-PIPES, &c.--A sub-way or tunnel, in con nexion with the sewers, wherein the pipes could be laid, and afterwards examined and repaired, without breaking up the road, would seem to be too costly to be expedient. We have little doubt, however, that in the long run, money would be saved to the community by such a course.—The Builder. The Hon.
