The monthly meeting of the magistrates was on Thurs day held at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell-gre2n. Mr. H. Pownall in the chair. The meeting was very fully attended, because it was known that the question of lessening the number of juvenile offenders and the amelioration of their condition was to be brought under consideration. Accordingly, after some business had been transacted with reference to Coldbath-fields Prison, the report of the committee, appointed on the 9th of April last, for the purpose of inquiring into the best means of checking the growth of juvenile crime, and for promoting the reformation of juvenile offenders, was next read ; and, after adverting to the Jamentable condition of the youthful offenders, concluded•.by suggesting that measures should be at once taken by intercessions with the Government, for the purpose of obtaining the introduction into Parlia ment of a Bill, the preamble of which should in effect state that the fearful extent of juvenile depravity and crime in the metropolitan districts, and in large and populous towns,-requires 'generally immediate interfer ence on the part of the Legislature ; that the great causes of juvenile depravity and crime appear to be the absence of proper parental or= faie' ndly care, and the ab sence of a comfortable home, and that all children above the age of seven and under the age of fifteen years, suf fering from either of these causes, require protection to prevent their getting into bad company, learning idle and dissolute habits, growing up in ignorance, and be coming an expense and burden on the country as cri minals, and that such protection should be afforded by the county. That an asylum for unprotected and desti tute children be founded by legislative enactment, and placed under the direction and management of the jus• tices of the peace for the county of Middlesex, to be called " The County Juvenile Protection Society." And the report pointed out, in fourteen clauses, what should be the principal enactments, the visiting justices to be empowered to make rules and regulations, to be sanctioned by the Secretary of State, and have the force of law, &c. After some discussion the report was received, and ordered to be taken into consideration on the next county day. The question of the erection of a new lunatic asylum again came on for discussion, and, after occupying the attention of the Court for several hours, a series of reso lutions were passed, by a large majority, for the erection of the new asylum, and for the appointment of a com mittee to select a site. The Court adjourned a few minutes before six o'clock, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, DEC. 2.—ln consequence of this being the birth-day of the Emperor of the Brazils, Captain Ignacio and the officers of the frigate Constituicao, now under repair at this dockyard, observed the national de monstrations usual on the occasion, and their expressions of fidelity were most heartily responded to by the local Government authorities. At early dawn the Brazilian flag was hoisted at the house of the Brazilian Vice-Con sulate, and at ten o'clock high mass was performed at the Roman Catholic Chapel at Stonehouse, by the Ray. W. Riley, the resident priest. A number of the officers and men of the frigate being present, a general thanksgiving was offered by the whole congregation in commemoration )f the auspicious event. Early in the day the Vigo hulk, lying in H amoaze, near the Brazilian frigate, and occu pied by her crew, was gaily d resse d i n co l ours ; an d a t n oon - a royal s a l u t e o f 21 guns was fired by her Majesty ' s ship Queen, 120, Captain Sir H.

(From the Supplement Extraordinary to the Swan River News, and Western Australian Chronicle.) ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF COPPER IN WES TERN AUSTRALIA. —FORTY DAYS LATER.— SEVENTY -NINE DAYS FROM FREMANTLB. Swan River ews Office, Dec. 1, 1846. By the Lightning, by way of Singapore, we have let ters from Frem ant l e to the 14th Sept., containing the glorious news of the discovery of copper ore in Western Australia. Treading on the heels of the startling an nouncement we made last month, of the discovery of coal, these reports must prepare our readers for the de velopment of rich mineral treasures in the colony. We publish the news as we received it:— (From our Occasional Correspondent.) "The Inquirer has lately contained rumours of the discovery of copper; I have, this morning, visited Mr. Davey of Fremantle, on whose land the ore has been found. I have seen several specimens, and their solution in acids, of undoubted copper brought down from the neighbourhood of the river Avon. Mr. Davey's cautious habits and general character for veracity enable me to give full reliance to his statement. G. L." Another report states that Mr. Davey had discovered copper ore lying on the surface of his land. He had smelt.ml it and obtained a small portion of copper, but was about to make further investigations when the news left. FIRE IN DUKE -STREET, GROSVEICOR-SQUARE.—. Thusday night, shortly before 9, a serious fire broke out at No. 41, :lluke-street, next idoor to the Barley Mot Tavern, occupied conjointly by Mr. Pierinan, saddler and harness-maker, and Mr. Bristow, boot-maker. The flames were first discovered in the shop, and a strenuous effort was made to subdue them by buckets of water before tht engines arrived, but this was found impossible; the fin spread rapidly, ascended the staircase, penetrated the back rooms, and forcing its way through the windows ignited the workshops of Mr. Boguert, cabinet-maker, it.

We extract from the New York Courier and Enquirer a brief and interesting sketch of the military resources and capabilities of Mexico :-- " Mexico has always had a larger army than any other American Republic. In 1827 it was 60,000 strong. At present it numbers 40,000; 30,000 of whom are infantry, 8,000 cavalry, and the remainder artillery. These troops come under two categories. Z-active and permanent. The , ermanent are only called out on emergencies; but their organization resembles that of the active, to whom, in deed, they are very little inferior in efficiency. A regi ment of Mexican infantry comprises 2 battalions, 16 companies, and 1,792 men, rank and file. A regiment of Mexican cavalry is 676 strong. But these, though the number which appears on the muster roll of a Mexi can regiment, do not represent its real force. That 'orce, from deSertion and other causes, is continually varying. A Mexican colonel may command 1,000 men one week, the next not half that number. Nothing is stable in Mexico, except its climate ! At an annual cost of 8,000,000 dolls. these 40,000 fighting men are maintained. 26 generals of brigade and 14 of division command them. A regiment of Mexican infantry has a colonel, 2 lieute nant-colonels, 16 captains, 30 lieutenants, and 64 second lieutenants. If we mistake not, an officer is attached to each battalion who is called a commandante, a grade equivalent to that of major in our service. A French aveller, lately in Mexico, says that there were 24,000 officers in the army of that country! He may be right; but in his estimate he has included persons who hold merely honorary commissions, and also the retirados, or half-pays.. The frequency of revolutions in Mexico is the cause of the vast number of retirados in that republic; for the leaders of a successful revolt, the moment they go into office, distribute among their friends a number of commissions, the recipients of which perform military duty and receive military pay for a year or two, when, another successful o u tb rea k occurring, they are placed on the list of retirados. After the lapse of a year or two another revolution occurs, which has the same results as the previous one. Here it is necessary to remark, that the retirados only receive a portion of what is their due; so that the term " half-pay officers" is, as applied to them, something of a misnomer. " The commissioned officers of the Mexican army are mostly white men; but men of anv colour or caste may obtain commissions if they have the requisite influence w hi i g t h h 1 1 , 11 e e d G a c o a v t e e r d n r e n n o t h F a veew theofy, h o e f y? th e as M a ex b i o c d a y n , offi th e a e t rs n a ie r e e sense of honour which characterises the officers of other armies. Within the last ten years a military school, on the plan of the far-famed Polytechnic School, at Paris, has been established in the city of Mexico. It is, or was till lately, under the charge of General Conde. Notwithstanding the assertion of the French writer we have already quoted from to the contrary, the school in question is a most valuable institution, and has begun to realise the expectations of its founders, nor could it well do otherwise. In the profession of arms, as in every other, knowledge is power," and the knowledge of the military man cannot be too profound or too ex tensive. " The pay of a general of division in the Mexican service is 500 dollars per month ; of a brigadier, 375. The subalterns are somewhat better paid than officers of the same rank in the British and French services; but, on the other hand, their clothing and accoutrements cost them more. In the city of Mexico you cannot buy a military cloak for less than 100 dollars. " Let us now say something about the private soldiers of the Mexican army. Their pay (in the infantry) is 12 dollars a month—in the cavalry, 12k. The soldiers, when in garrison, cater for themselves. Once a year they are supplied with a new suit of uniform, quite as well made as that of the California volunteers ! The cloth of which their clothes are made is manufactured at Queretaro, a town in the department of that name. " The colour of the uniform of the Mexican infantry is blue. Some of the cavalry weer blue, others red coats. One regiment of infantry, the 11th, and one or two of cavalry, are clad in white. There are two kinds of horse-soldiers in Mexico, Lancers and Dragoons. The Lancers are the most numerous. The cavalry are mounted on horses which, though small, ugly-looking, and only half trained, are incredibly hardy. The sabres of the privates are not good, yet they cost the Govern ment a good deal of money. " The Mexican infantry are drilled in the French fashion, and armed with English muskets. " They are anything but serviceable arms, still they are better than those mad e i n Bi rm i ng h am for sale in Africa, which are apt, the first time they go off,' to go off altogether. If the muskets of the Mexican soldiers are bad, their powder is a thousand times worse. During ihe bombardment of San Juan de Ulloa by the French squadron, in 1839, many of the shots from the castle struck the ships, but failed in piercing the wood. It is said, that the powder used by the garrison of the castle was made in this city. If all the armies of America and Europe would use the same kind of powder, Elihu Burritt and the 'Universal Peace Society' would have reason to rejoice. -•‘ The mode of recruiting for the Mexican army has been often described by travellers. It is this:—A re- cruiting party enters a town or village—they stop the first lazy-looking man they meet, and if he cannot give a good account of himself they handcuff him and take him to the barracks. There he is examined by the sur geon, handed over to the drill-sergeant, and three weeks afterwards he is a soldier. "About three-fourths of the Mexican troops are pure Indians, the rest Mestizos or half-breeds. There are very few negroes amongst. them. "It is worthy of remark, that prior to the revolution, the Indians in Mexico were exempt from military service. And, what was very singular, the Spanish mili tar y co d e then in vogue contained a clause forbidding the enlist ment of butchers, whatever their c ol our or bi rt h p l ace. A great deal has been said in praise of Mexican valour, and a great deal in its disparagement. The truth lies between the two extremes—Mexico is not a nation of heroes; nor is it a nation of cowards. " There is great diversity of character amongst the Mexicans. The inhabitants of the department of Puebla are much braver and energetic than those of the depart ment of Mexico. But in the neighbourhood of Tampico exists a tribe of Indians who surpass all others in point of courage, resolution, and strength of character. It is from thess Indians that the Battalla de Tampico' (which so distinguished itself at Pulo Alto and Resaca de la Palma) is chiefly recruited. They resemble the Welsh in character —may they not be descendants of that people? There is a tradition in Wales, that about the fourteenth century one of their princes, accompanied by a number of his countrymen, their wives and families, left Wales on a voyage to some distant land, whence he never returned. " The Mexican soldier has one or two useful qualities. He is obedient to his officers, and he endures the greatest privations without a murmur. His stature is - short—seldom exceeding five feet five inches, or five feet six inches—and he is clumsily made. In the management of his weapons he evinces no dexterity. Wanting pliancy of body and activity of mind, he makes but an indifferent skirmisher. Deficient in height and strength of arm, he is not calculated for a Grenadier. His strength is in his legs. He can march distances which even a Spanish soldier might fail to accomplish During the revolution of 1841, Santa Anna made a forced march of 60 miles in twenty-four hours. Detach ments of Mexican infantry have been known to keep up with their mounted officers, though they (the officers) were going at a trot " Some travellers say that the cavalry of the Mexicans is much better than the infantry. This is not the case. Both are equally good, or, as some might say, equally bad. The cavalry, for the most part, are recruited from the same class of men as the infantry. The irregular cavalry, however, are composed of much finer men than the regular. They are chiefly Mestizos. Such is the army of Mexico. Thrice it has been defeated by General Taylor and his companions in arms, and we have little doubt that every conflict yet to come, if it be equally fair and open, will witness a similar issue." THE PRIZE PIG AND THE PRIZE PEASANT. (From Punch.) I never pass a fat pig by, But off I take my hat, And " I'm your servant, Sir," says I: What makes me act like that? Why, because I've been taught to behave as I ought, And know my own degree; And I never neglect to pay proper respect, When 'tis due from me. For forty years, as man and boy, I've driven my master's plough; Was never out of his employ, And still am in it now: - My children and wife I have kept all my life From off the parish clear; But merit like mine, to the worth of a swine, People think small beer. True I've not toiled so long for nought; I've met with some reward: And so, perhaps, you'll say I ought, Or else it would be hard. A prize I received:—the good gentl e f o lk s gr i ev 'd They couldn t give more to me; Two pounds was the touch,—and a cow got as much; But a fat bog, three. So to a pig I make my bow, As manners do require, Ansl touch my hat to boar and sow, With parson and with 'squire. Though a Christian am I, yet a pig in a sty, My betters is, I see; For the pig makes fine pork, and I'm nearly past work; And they can't eat me ! ATROCITIES IN THE EAST.--It is stated in a letter from Constantinople of the 12th ultimo, that Bedert4an Bey, the chief of the Kurds. after his massacre of the Nestorians, sent three hundred of the heads of Christians, which he had cut off, to the Pacha of Mossoul, informing him that if this present did not please him, he would also send him the heads of three hundred Turks. The Pacha had done all in his power to deter the Bey from his work of pillage and massacre, but in vain. It was be lieved, however, at Constantinople, that the Sultan would supply the Pacha with the means of curbing the career of this monster. PUTCP, SD. IRELAND DUBLIN, DEC. 2.—The Young Irelenders are to have a grand review this evening in the round-room of the Rotunda. Mr. Smith O'Brien was expected to have reached town this morning, for the purpose of taking part in the proceedings, but I understand is has been intimated to the Committee, that it would be incon venient for the Hon. Gentleman to leave home at present. Messrs. Magher, Doheney, Barry, and others, are to at tend and speak; and as the party are every day obtain ing new recruits, it is very likely that the muster will be a strong one. MORE DEATHS FROM STARVATION. By the provincial papers received this morning it would appear that the scarcity of provisions is begin-• ning to affect the poorer class of farmers and house holders, while the la.ourer's condition is every day becornint , worse and wo rse . Y ou h ave already the verdict of the Skibbereen jury before you, testifying to the melancholy fact of four human beings having died of starvation, and I regret to say, that at Corbetstown, in the county of Kilkenny, an inquest was held on Sunday last, from which it appeared that a woman and three young children, whose bodies were found on the pre ceding Saturday in a dyke on the road-side, were at the period of their decease, if not in actual want, at least in a state bordering on starvation. The bodies were brought to a house on the road-side, the nearest that could be procured, by th e police—they presented a truly heart rending spectacle, partially covered with filthy rags saturated with mud, and frozen, having been exposed to the inclemency of the weather. The hand of one child, and part of the foot of another, had been devoured pro bably by rats. Dr. Gwydir, of Freshford, made a minute post mortem examination of the bodies of the mother and eldest daughter, and' a child about nine years old. The Doctor was unable to detect in the stomach or the bowels of the mother a trace of food having entered for more than twenty hours before death. The child's stomach contained a very small quantity of half-digested potatoes. The following was the verdict of the jury :—" We find that deceased and her three children's deaths were caused by drowning, and we find from the post mortem ex aminations made by Doctor Gwydir on two of the bodies, that they were in a state of hunger bordering on star vation, but how the bodies came into the dyke of water, whether by accident or design on the part of the mother we have no evidence to show." ANOTHER DEATH FROM DESTITUTION. An inquest was held in the workhouse of Kilkenny, on Monday last, on the body of' an aged pauper, named Farrell, when, after a long and patient investigation, the jury found the following verdict:—" We find that the deceased was received into this house on Wednesday last, and admitted to its relief by the Board of Guardians on the following day. That the said deceased was aged, and that we (the jury) believe his death to have been the result of age, privation, and hardship. That it ap pears to have been the practice of this house, that per sons admitted do not receive their dinners till after the sitting of the Board. That the deceased was fasting from nine that morning to six, at which time he was un able to partake of his dinner, and then died in the act of being carried thereto. That we (the jury) request the Coroner to write to the Board, that permission be given to the master to give food to a person so circumstanced as the deceased was." ANOTHER DEATH FROM STARVATION. An inquest was held on Saturday last at Glandore, county Cork, on the body of Andrew Barry, who was reported to have died of starvation. Among the witnesses produced was the wife of the deceased, who swore that on the Sunday previous to his death they had but three or four turnips for herself, deceased, and three children, and on the Monday had about four or five quarts of meal, which she got from her sister's children, on which they lived till Wednesday morning ; on that morning witness's daughter got some broth at Mr. Barry's, of Glandore House, and from that to her husband s d ea th ( t h e S un d ay night following) had nothing to support her family but some broth and tur nips, and the last three days previous to his death Mr. Barry gave him work on the Ross and Glandore line, but he was searcely able to work, but for which he got wages. Deceased was working on the road in a dying state from want of food. The Jury found that the " deceased died from want of food." STATE OF THE SOUTH. The Tipperary Vindicator received this morning, gives the following fearful account of the state of things, in Tipperary and the adjoining districts We continue to receive most distressing accounts from several dis tricts. Indeed the condition of the people is frightful. We would point attention to the letters of correspon dents, including two from respected clergymen who reside at considerable distance from each other. Yes terday about seventy unemployed labourers proceeded through the streets of Nenagh, and entered bakers' shops in quest of food. Famine was in their looks. They were snppliei with bread from the bakeries of several persons in the same business. Whilst immenso sums of unexpended motley presented for are placed to the credit of electoral divisions, and whilst distress and destitution alarmingly prevail, what wonder that there should be discontent and crime ?—We protest that the patience and forbearance of the poor under the circumstances, are wonderful to contemplate; and between the Board of Works and their subordinates and the Presentment Ses sions, it is almost difficult to7pronounce where the crying and grievous fault lies. A King's County Correspondent asserts, that in that county nothing can equal the hor rible condition to which the people are reduced, particu larly in the mountainous district. In the neigh bour hood of Kinn e ty, tho ug h the Presentment Sessions was held on the 28th of September, no public works, we un derstand, have been yet undertaken except some misera ble hills or footpaths, affording employment only to a mere fraction of the dying poor. Great God I how long is this system to be permitted ? Is this decimation to effect its worst, or are the people to be driven int) the arms of despair, and consequently of reckless violence ? To augment their manifold misfortunes, fever has broken out amongst them in several places ; and the burning visitation of a pestilential disease is hurrying thousands to their graves !" ANOTHER DEATH FROM STARVATION AT SKIBBEREEN. The special reporter of the Cork Examiner, instructed to proceed to Skibberreen, and report as to the state of affairs in that locality, writing under the date of Sunday night, says . I had scarcely got off the coach to change my clothes after a bleak morning's drive, when I beard a person in the hotel say, There's a poor man died this minute in High•street, starved to death.' I went to the desolate.. looking cabin where he lay, and there the poor victim of gaunt famine, extended on an earthen floor, was wraps in that sleep which knows no waking.' His name w as Charles Carthy—he had come f rom th parish of Abbey into the town to seek relief, when all other hope was ex hausted. Last night cSaterday) sensibly fearing to trespass on a stranger s assistance, the hungry, way worn, broken-hearted man, sought refuge in a wake house,' where candles gleamed by the side of the dead. As the day advanced the cravings of nature impelled him forth from that house of mourning, and he entered tht humble cabin of one Hooly, a carman in High, -street. He was then merely able to ask the poor man to procurt him a ticket from the priest for admission to the work house, which Hooly proceeded for. The clergyman was at the chapel, and he desired Hooly to go to his house. and that he would in a few minutes be there to give him the necessary order of admission. "In the meantime Carthy made his way out of the house, and brought in a halfpennyworth of milk, which, at his request, was warmed for him. He swallowed it with some difficulty, and, lying down on the floor, yielded up, without a struggle or a sigh, his life to Him who giveth and taketh away.' In the evening I accompanied the Rev. Mr. Fitz patrick to the desolate house. The liberal benevolence of the good priest provided the means of interment for Carthy's remains ; and, before we left the place, the re citals of misery and sickness, and famine, that rung in our ears, were melancholy and distressing to a degree that I could not previously imagine."

On Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock. some men in the employ of Mr. B. Drewett, of Lower Tooting, were at work in a field near the Single-gate. at Merton, wher they heard the smothered report of a gun. About eleven o'clock, business calling them to the fart her end of the field. they perceived the body of a respectably-dressed mao lying across the ditch, with a recently-discharged fowl ing piece lying by his side. The roof of the right side of his skull was blown completely off just above the ear and the brains lay in the ditch a few inches apart from the head. The men immediately procured as•istance, and conveyed the deceased, who was recognised as Mr. Newman, to the Victory Inn, Merton-lane. It appeared that the deceased had left home early in the morning ti shoot over his fields, and from the position in which.the body was found, there is no doubt that whilst he was in the act of leaping the ditch, which is six feet wide, his toot slipped, and as he fell the trigger caught the hedge. and in a moment the deceased was hurried into eternit3. The deceased was 62 years of age, and has left a numer ous family well provided for. An inquest was held yes terday upon the body by Mr. Carter, and a verdict of Accidental Death" rettimd. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY. BRISTOL, THURSDAY EVENING.--A special meeting of this company was held at the Assembly Rooms, Princes-street, this day, to - take into consideration the proposed extensions of the line. Mr. Brown having taken the chair— The Secretary, Mr. BADHAM, read the report, which stated that the chief purposes of the proposed lines were, first, the establishment of the best and shortest high way- between Exeter and London ; and, secondly, in creased accommodation for Midland, Somerset, and Central,Devon, combining with the latter a convenient transit to. Cornwall. The first was. intended to b e secured by a railway from the trunk line;near Taunton, to join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at. Castle Cary. There were two other_ schemes for lines between London and Exeter: the Exeter Great Western, by way of Yeovil, and the South-Western scheme, .by way of Basingstoke, Salisbury, and Yeovil.. By. the line from Taunton to Castle Cary, the distance between London and Exeter was shorter than by, either of those two; and, instead of an expenditure of ta- million and a half of capital, it would not require one-fourth of that amount ; as out of 68i miles between Exeter and Castle Cary, 361 were on their trunk line, leaving very little more than 22 miles of new railway. to construct. To afford accommodation to Midland So merset, it was proposed to make a line from Bled near the southern end of the Uphill cutting, toAxbridge, Cheddar, Glastonbury, and Street, there to fall into the line above mentioned. The length of this loop would be 234 miles. The directors felt it to be their duty to call the attention of the shureholde rs to the country west of Exeter, with a view to the con ,, truction of lines through that district into Cornwall; the abandonment of the North Devon Railway scheme, and the reviv a l of the Devon and Cornwall Central by the South-Western Company, having left them no alternative but to carry operations into those districts, and they had therefore caused the necessary plans and documents to be deposited for the lines extending from Crediton, in the c oun t y o f Devon, by way of Okeh am pt on , to Launceston, in the county of Cornwall, a distance of 36 miles, and from Launceston to near Liskeard, 18 miles—there to meet the Cornwall Railway. The CHAIRMAN apologised for the absence of Mr. Gibbs, the chairman of the company, which was caused by that gentleman's not entirely concurring in the schemes which the directors felt it their duty to recom mend to the proprietors. Hitherto they had worked most cordially with the Great Western Company, but that company had recently thought fit to promote a" scheme between Eketee and Yeovil, which, if successful,' would divert the most important -traffic from their lir.c„ that of the through traffic to London. > The directors ' ? therefore, felt bound to promote the schemes then before them, for the purpose of protecting .their interests, when their lease to the Great Western Company expired, which it would in two years. The Chairman concluded by moving a resolution approving of the report, and authorising the directors to take the necessary steps for carrying out the proposed lines. Mr. VA'TCHER seconded the resolution. Mr. Moterminn asked whether Mr. Gibbs had seceded. from the direction, The CHAIRMAN replied in . the negative, and the resolution being put, was carried unanimously. Another resolution, authorising the directors to make the Parliamentary deposits, was also carried ; and after a short conversation, in the course of which Mr. Gregory, the new engineer, explained the course of the line, the meeting separated. WARWICK, WORCESTER, AND RUGBY. The shareholders in this defunct scheme assembled yesterday at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, to consider what steps were most advisable to adopt, in order to wind up the affairs of the company and divide the balance of the capital among the proprietors. Mr. Ward, M.P., was called to the chair, and briefly stated his regret that their prospects were not of a more en couraging nature. In compliance with the expressed desire of the shareholders, the directors had amalga mated with two other companies, but he regretted to say, that owing to the inefficiency of the plans they were unable to pass the Standing Orders' Committee. There was now in hand, after setting aside a consider able sum to meet the expenses of a Chancery suit, in which one of the amalgamated companies had become involved, the sum of 6,790 L, which would afford a re turn of 7s. 6d. per share.. By the financial statements it appeared that 43,911/. had been received as deposits upon 20,910 shares at 21. 2s. each, and that the entire disbursements amounted to 38,000/. Mr. Spacktnan and several gentlemen afterwards addressed the meeting, and urged the necessity of declaring the company bank rupt, as if such step were not taken, it would be impos sible to obtain any revelation respecting the company's affairs. They believed the affairs had been grossly mis managed, and that a much larger dividend would be returned, if the meeting decided upon declaring the dis solution an act of bankruptcy. After an angry alterca don, Mr. Spacliman; Mr. Samuels, and Mr. Clarke were appointed scrutineers, to register the shares. Upon investigation, however, it appeared that there was nut a sufficient number of shares represented to constitute a meeting. The proceedings were, therefore, adjourned until Wednesday next, in order to obtain the requisite number of votes. • RAILWAY SHARE NI ARKETS. BRISTOL, DECEMBER 3.
