The hurried departure of the Governor-General cf Bombay for England, in consequence of his alarm ing indisposition, has been productive of the extra ordinary express from India published in another portion of The Sun. By the resignation of Sir GEORGE ARTHUR—a resignation which, from his protracted illness, has been long anticipated—the government of Bombay is temporarily placed under the direction of the Honourable Mr. REID, senior member of the Council. Whoever may be selected to succeed the late Governor-General will be wel comed with enthusiasm by the colonists, if he only possess a decided character for activity, lenity, and liberality, some inconvenience having resulted from the unfortunate state of debility into which the con stitution of Sir GEORGE ARTHUR had latterly fallen, and the consequent dilatoriness superinduced in the movements of his administration. Whenever the principal magistrate of any territory is enervated by disease, the actions of his magistracy are necessa rily effete and sluggish. Sir G. CLERK is generally regarded as the most probable candidate for the ap pointment ; but a short time will disclose whether an office so lucrative and influential will be awarded to him or to Sir HENRY POTTINGER. The latter would, undoubtedly, carry with him a vast predominating Prestige, which might aeigur well for the future com mercial and political prosperity of Bombay. Calamitous accounts are conveyed in the same transit of the ravages which have followed the ter rible appearance of the cholera in Kurrachee. Fifteen hundred European soldiers are reckoned in the mortality. This epidemic had how• ever abated in the district last mentioned, and by proceeding up the river threatened a similar desolation to Hyderabad. The violent fever which had attacked the garrison at Saki< ur was in like manner disappearing. By the natives Kurrachee is usually regarded as a sanatorium : by the Europeans it has, during severe seasons, been found little more salubrious than Vera Cruz, or even Sierra Leone. Thousands are suddenly cut off by as agonising and malignant disease; the streets are crowded with the lugubrious pomp of funerals ; and even those individuals who are spared in the visitation are mourners for its numerous victims. These calami ties, which have been for a considerable time of periodical occurrence, are unquestionably of sufficient importance to render us desirous for some corrective, if not for some preventative, measures. - When we behold our regiments thinned triennially by cholera, or miasma, or dysentery, or other maladies, our first question is, and very naturally, How can this be pre vented ? Will draining the soil in the vicinity of barracks be productive of any decided ad vantage ? Will levelling the neighbouring iungles, or burning underwood, decrease the chance of unwholsome vapours being generated? Would any system of dietetics during the dangerous periods render our military less liable to the afflic tion ? Surely any trouble of research into the means of avoiding such wholesale dangers would be amply repaid to Government, whenever those means were discovered ; and any reasonable expense in endeavour ing to defend our troops from decimation would in the end prove absolutely economical. Something should be done to save our armies from a similar destruction in future. We advance millions to defray the cost of conquering some hostile nation for encroaching upon our frontiers, or for placing the lives of our people in jeopardy by marauding excursion; but we are either niggardly or literally apathetic in at tempting to vanquish an enemy by which our defenders are destroyed en maw ! Sir C. NAPIER has recently been demolishing the fortifications of Kurrachee, and filling up the sur rounding ditches with a view to the diminution of the mortality. It would, therefore, appear that some changes are requisite in the drainage, and that the soldiers are in too confined an atmosphere. ll'hy not, in the name of Heaven, rectify these errors before you are driven to do so by the sudden death of fifteen hundred able-bodied men ? In one instance a whole regiment perishes under the ruins of a ricketty bar rack—and it is then sagaciously discovered that such buildings should be erected with a greater regard to strength and durability. In another, the wives and children of our soldiers are afflicted by a contagion, from want of proper shelter and wholesome provisions —and the gentlemen of the commissariat department are instantly satisfied that a reasonable number of beds and generous food should be supplied for similar convoys. And now several hundred men are swept away—and forthwith it would seem that the stagnant waters around Kurra_ chee should have keen removed, and a better ventilation supplied keen the garrison. It is hinted by other individuals that an alteration in the period of the arrival of European troops in such places as Kurrachee or Hyderabad would materially diminish the possibility of cholera being felt in this ter rific manner. We cannot undertake, of course, to decide upon which of the many nostrums advanced should be selected, but we do most distinctly and empha tically aver that the merits of each should be can vassed by the local authorities ; that an active interference is incumbent upon the supreme Government ; and that in conscience and honour and honesty some immediate steps should be taken for the better protection of the lives of our gallant veterans. The existence of a soldier is already sufficiently precarious to render it a matter of indif ference whether he be carried off " in the full bloss-m of his sins" by the abrupt encroachments of an avoid able epidemic. The battle-field needs no assistance in its work of death from the fever hospital. Gal- lantry in our regiments had better be rewarded by preserving their health in time of peace than by decorating them with flaunting ribbons. brought prominently forward the good intentions of the Government—he has implored the people to refrain from crime and violence—he has promised that the people shall have fool. Most sincerely do we hope that his exertions may be crowned with suc cess, and that no acts on the part of the people may delay the attainment of that to which they are justly entitled, and which can only be postponed by unwise or injudicious conduct on their own parts—viz., the obtaining of a full and perfect equality with England in all their civil, political, and municipal institutions. The Vienna Gazette states that the instructions of Prince METTERNICH to M. MUNCH BELLINGHAUSEN, President of the Diet of Frankfort, on the subject of Holstein, relate only to the ties which bind Holstein to the German Confederation. " The question of succession, the only one alluded to in the letter patent of the King of Denmark, is left out of the question. Prince Metternich does not think the Diet a competent judge in the matter, it must be decided by the great powers, three of which at least are favour able to Denmark. The protest of the Duke of A uGUSTENBURGII against the letters patent of the King of DENMARK has been delivered to the Chancellor of the German Diet. The Augsburgh Gazette contains a letter, dated Tauris, July 28, which states that, on the Persian Government receiving information of the outrage committed on its Minister by the populace at Erze roum, Am EFFENDI, the Turkish Consul residing at Tauris, was arrested, and put into prison. We find the following in the Post•Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under the date of St. Petersburgh, 27th August : The war against rents is rapidly extending itself throughout Ireland. Already has it spread from Tipperary, where it had its origin, into Limerick and the King's County. It is the first fruit of the in fi unmatory and exciting harangues on the subject of physical force that have recently been pro mulgated, and to which Mr. SMITII O'BRIEN to a certain extent lent the sanction of his name. Once satisfy the lower and un educated classes of the lawfulness of an appeal to arms, that there may be any possible combination of circumstances that will justify them in setting the authorities at defiance, and arraying themselves in open hostility against the law of the land, and they will easily and speedily be convinced that the time has come for a display of force, and fur a universal opposition to any law by which they may feel them selves incumbered. The present moment is unhappily too well calculated for the creation and extension of such a feeling. The small farmers and cottiers have beheld with dismay the mysterious visitation that has prevailed throughout the entire country blighting the crops, and spreading desolation in every locality ; they have witnessed the total de struction of that species of food to which alone they looked for support and maintenance during the autumn and winter. By other kinds of produce they procured means for the payment of their rent, and the few and trifling necessaries with which they were so easily contented—for the possession of comforts or luxuries never ens.. tered into the most sanguine imagination—but the potato was to them literally the staff of life, they lived on it, and it alone. It' the supply was plentiful and the quality good they were contented; and it they could add thereto an occasional salt herring, or the thick sour milk from which the cream had been re moved, they envied not the tables of the great ; but a scarcity thereof was attended with misery and sufferings that could scarcely be cre dited in this more favoured country, and which could only be endured by a people patient under privations, unrepining and submissive under the most grievous afflictions. If an insufficiency of the potato was attended with such lamentable and heart rending results, what can be looked for ward to, or hoped for, when there has been a total, an universal destruction. The people have wit nessed the progress of the disease with feelings to which it would be impossible to give expression. They have regarded their helpless families with the most gloomy forebodings, and have almost given themselves up to despair. It is then at such a time that they are peculiarly exposed to the seductions of the tempter—that any the wildest suggestions find a ready response ; there is no proceeding or line of conduct, that holds out the slightest prospect for the future, which will not readily be adopted. A rude and natural logic convinces them that rents can only be paid out of the surplus produce of the land, after the wants and ne cessities of the occupiers and cultivators of the soil are first met and provided for ; famishing and hungry multitudes will easily be persuaded of the propriety and justice of retaining in their own hands the means of support, of keeping life and soul together. Great conciliation and forbearance is necessary at such a crisis on the part of the landowners, and any undue severity, any harsh or oppressive act, at once inflames the passions, and fans into flame the elements of combustion. Of course there are persons, as there ever have been, blind to the signs and the necessities of the times, who look only to their own wants, and by any means, however oppressive, seek to enforce a sa tisfaction of their demands ; the law in all its stringency is put into operation, and the cottier's hut is swept of its wretched furniture; the pig, which can alone make use of the diseased potato and turn to some profit the rotten mass, is taken from him; and the horrors of his all but hopeless position are increased and aggravated by the cruelty and heartless rapacity of his landlord. Then comes the open and undisguised opposition to the law, in which he is supported and joined by his sympathising neighbours, who think that his case tray speedily be their own. They assemble in multitudes at the place of sale, to overawe and in timidate those disposing of the property and tliisse who might haply become purchasers. Their opposi tion is crowned with success ; the landlords who have recklessly provoked the collision shrink from the consequences of their own acts, and in a cowardly and timid manner abandon the distresses they have made, and suffer the law to be set at defiance with impunity. The intelligence spreads like wildfire through the country. The same course is pursued in every instance, even where there are not circumstances of equal hardship; the mischief commenced by cruelty is consummated by pol troonery, and a fierce and universal warfare is waged against the rights of property. It is only to the vast and well-founded influence of Mr. O'CoszNenL, and the cordial co-operation with him of the pastors and religious instructors of the people, that we can look for a termination of this fearful state. Ile has obtained their confidence, he has led them through many try ing scences, to the attainment of triumphant and bloodless victories. They know that they can place implicit dependence on his wisdom and sagacity— that he will do all within the power of man to conduct them in safety through the diffictilties with which they are environed. His conduct bears the most honourable testimony to the purity and integrity of the motives by which he has been actuated through out his useful career. He has not seized the oppor tunity now afforded to him of further exciting the popular mind.; on the contrary, Otis counsels all are of peace and tranquillity3 he bas poirged out, WI " The commercial relations established since last year by the Governor-General of Trans-Caucasus, between the Russians and the mountaineers, are producing the most beneficial effects. The markets held at certain periods of the year, for carrying on barter, contribute much to connect the two people, and to inspire them with a love of peace. The annual market, held on the Bth of June in the town of Ekaterinudav, was very bril liant, and the inhabitants of the Transkuban communes attended it in great numbers. Before entering it the mountaineers were requested to lay aside their arms, to which they consented. The amount of business effected in barter is estimated at 10,000 silver roubles (the silver rouble is little more than four francs). The mountaineers would only take roubles, refusing paper money or bills. The trade in leeches, which are be. coming scarce in Europe, begins to increase in Trans- Caucasus. Erivan, Imezetia, Mingrelia, and some can tons of Georgia, produce a great number. It is scarcely two years since they began to take them. Several foreigners wished to establish a monopoly in that trade, but the Government preferred its remaining free ana exempt from duties." Madrid papers of the 3d have arrived. The announcement of the approaching marriage of the QUEEN with Don FRANCISCO had been received with great joy throughout all the provinces, but that of the proposed union between her sister and the Duke DE MONTPENSIER had created universal dissa tisfaction. Don FRANCISCO D ' Assls will on his marriage be appointed Captain-General of the Army. His father, Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA is about to occupy the apartments in the palace which have been hitherto occupied by the INFANTA. Senor SIMON DE RODA has been appointed Political Chief of Madrid. The journals, with the exception of the )leraldo, continue to protest against the marriage of the INFANTA with the Duke DE MONTPENSIER as illegal and contrary to the constitution of the kingdom. It is reported that Mr. BULWER, on being informed of the intended marriage with the Duke DE MONT , FENSTER, addressed a note to the Spanish Cabinet, stating that "he had learnt with surprise that it was the intention of the Spanish Government to carry into effect the marriage of her MAJESTY and the IN FANTA simultaneously, and at a very early period ; that the proposed marriage of the latter with the Duke DE MONTPENSIER could not be !regarded as a private and merely internal question but was, in every sense, a European one, and of transcendant importance, and which might lead to the most serious complications; that in consequence, in the absence of any precise instructions from his Government, he should limit himself to protesting against all proceedings in the matter until he should receive further instructions." These papers contain intelligence from Portugal to the 29th of August. It is said that an absolutist guerilla force has appeared in the neighbourhood of Braga, and:defeated a part of the garrison of Chaves, which had been sent against it. These abso lutist guerillas, however, are not Miguelites, for they proclaim Donna MARIA DA GLORIA absolute queen, or, which is the same thing, with the Government of Don JOHN VI. The movement, however, is most probably suppressed ere this, as a considerable body of troops were marching to put it down. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 3.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 21i ; the Five per Cents. at 22A- ; the Debt, without interest, at 6i ; and the Coupons, 20}. reme kindness of the French officers has been badly appreciated by them, and we have no influence whatso ever over them. Mr. Wilson, an English Methodist minister, settled in a village not far dishnt from Fiat Aumale, makes many proselytes, and does not inspire them with the love of the French protectorate. The Catholic missionary, on the other hand, has been aban doned by the few natives who had collected round him. It is nut from any want of zeal orinstruction on his part, but in order to succeed he should be allowed a certain sum of money, independent of his wretched appoint ments. The negro only respects the rich. Mr. Wilson is in that favourable condition in consequence of the funds placed at his disposal, and which enables him to be generous." We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. They contain scarcely anything further on Spanish affairs. The Siecle, however, announces that MARIA CHRISTINA will, on the marriage of the QUEEN and her sister, come and reside in France ; and the Cour rier Francais says, " that the triumph of M. GUIZOT in the affair of the marriage of Queen ISABELLA was only obtained at the price of an immense concession made to Great Britain by the Spanish Cabinet., This concession consisted in a treaty of commerce, of which the preliminaries were concluded between Mr. BULWER and M. ISTURITZ, after a long conference held on the 30th of August last at Aladrid." The news from Algiers is to the 2d inst. It would appear, from the following extract from the Akbar, that ABD-EL-FADER, is acquiring immense influence in Morocco : " We have been informed that at the moment when an attache of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs landed at Tangiers, from the steam corvette Voice, to deliver dis patches to our Consul-General, the population of the town, the European in particular, were iu a state of great uneasiness. Alarrnirg reports were in circulation relative to the influence acquired by Abd-el Kader in the east of Morocco. The intelligence received by land is not of a less serious import. The Emir is said to have approached Taza, a Moorish town, twenty-five leagues distant from the frontier, and to be openly con spiring against the Emperor. It our information be correct, it is to be feared that a revolution will shortly come to pass in Morocco. The Emperor Abderrahman is in an embarrassing position. If he attacks the cham pion of the holy war, surrounded as he is with the sym pathies of the faithful, he risks his throne, and even his life. The danger for being remote is not less great, if he suffers him to go on. Under those difficult circum stances, the Emperor will probably confine himself to look on whilst we act, and pray for our success, which will rid him of a dangerous enemy. A French expedi tion into Morocco consequently appears imminent." The Siècle publishes the following remarks on the present position of Algeria:— " Abd-cl-Kader is acting with absolute authority in Morocco, either from the connivance or want of power of the Emperor to resist, who confines the exercise of his authority to the towns, the populations of which are less fanatic. The Ernir is not only recomposing his Deira, but is remounting his cavalry, and recruiting his batta lions with Moroccomen. A generally accredited report, therefore, is, that he will this year take advantage of the absence of the Governor- General, and make a new attempt on Algeria. This does not appear to us to be without foundation. Abd-el-Kader is condemned by his position to act whether he has or has not hopes of success. He must, at any price, keep up the fervour and fanaticism of his adherents. To him repose is abdication. But, although the Emir is forced to attack, it does not follow that he must succeed in surprising our columns, and throwing Algeria into alarm and confusion. The system of government adopted by Marshal Bugeaud may be condemned and often with reason; his military tactics may be criticised ; this is a question on the art of war on which competent men may differ. The Mar shal will defend himself by arguments or facts—that is his affair. We only protest against the assertion that Algeria is not in a condition to put down in an instant whatever attempts the Emir may make. That assertion is void of truth, and yet it causes anxiety in the minds of those who have sons fighting in Africa. Abd- el- Kader will, probably, again make an irruption into some part of the colony. This will happen this year, and again and again in subsequent years. Even the death of Abd. el Kader would not put a stop to such ea terprises ; it would only render them less dangerous. Algeria is on the confines of a barbarous empire, in which the authority of its rulers is ever precarious. Half a century will, probably, pass before our frontier towards Morocco becomes perfectly tranquil. 'I he ques tion is, to prevent these inevitable incursions from penetrating into the interior. After what passed in 1845, it may be seen that this question was solved by the presence of 100,000 men. It remains to be solved by the establishment of a French population capable of protecting itself. It is said that the Go vernment has just come to a decision on a system of colonization to be adopted there. Civil colonisation is, it is believed, to be employed on the territories marked down as civil in the ordonnance of April, 1845, and military colonization on the mixed territories. This resolution, if really come to, will be in conformity with the opinions we have long ago expressed. But it is not our intention to open at present a discussion on this subject. We wish only to calm those inquietudes that may have been created by alarming reports. Abd-el- Kader could not succeed last year, when everything con spired in his favour, neither will he be more successful now, when our army, warned by experience, is keenly watching the Arabs." The Spaniards in France denounce this marriage as a betrayal of their QUEEN, and a handing over of Spain to the power of her implacable enemies. The Journal des Ddiats contains a long article on the state of crime in France, and from the official returns which have been made, showing the number of recommitments which take place, it comes to the conclu sion " that the reforms in detail which have been tried is the central prisons have not produced the expected results, or rather that they have been completely in efficacious; that prisons as at present constituted and bagnes are irremediable sources of corruption, and that the only remedy for the evil is to be found in penitentiary reform." The Commerce is by no means pleased with the partial suspension of the ukase imposing a heavy duty on French vessels entering Russian ports. It says: " The Ministry, by dint of notes and conferences, and after having twenty times told France that it was about arriving at a solution, at length obtains purely and simply the suspension of a ukase which has caused irreparable injury to our commerce, and this suspension is not general for all the ports of Russia ; moreover, it only regards our trade with the Gulf of Finland, which will soon be interrupted by the ice, whilst the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh maintains against us all its rigours on the Blat k Sea, where our vessels can navi gate in almost every season. The transactions of Odessa and the movements of its port are nevertheless of sufficient importance; and for Marseilles, amongst others, it holds out a sufficiently serious interest to have induced the agents of M. Guizot to procure the suspen sion of the fatal ukase to be extended to that market. Independently of its corn, Od e s sa carr i es on w i t h Mar seilles and a great number of intermediate ports of Turkey, Greece, and Italy, a considerable export trade in tallow, wool, iron, leather, wa x , cav i are, potash, salted meat, cordage, sailcloth, tar, b u tt er , an d i s i nglas; its import trade consists of sugar, coffee, dye woods, wine, brandy, cotton goods, grocery, cutl er y, o il, t i n, dried fruits, paper, silk, &c., and, if at the time Nhen our vessels were not burdened with an enormous differen tial duty, the port of Odessa only sent to France the average yearly value of 300,000 roubles, it rece i ve d i n French produce, or in foreign produce from French depots, to the amount of 2,500,000 roubles. Af ter Turkey, France ranked first in the import trade of the port of Odessa ; England came after us. Our Mi n i stry, as it may be seen, does not confine itself to offending our moral interests ; it injures also our material interests, by its half satisfactions—by commercial negotiations, always incomplete ; all this proceeds from the same source : when a Cabinet is not national in its policy, it cannot be national in any other point of view." M. DUMON, the Minister of Public Works, has left Paris for England. During his absence his duties will be performed by the Minister of Public Instruc tion, M. SALVANDY. The following report of Captain MARTIN, of the brig Furet, recently returned from the western coast of Africa, is published in the Semaphore de Mar seilles:— "During my stay on the coast," says Captain Martin, " I was often visited by English and French cruisers, and I cannot speak in sufficient terms of praise of their conduct towards me. I met on every point numbers of English, American, Brazilian, Sardinian, and 11.1mburgh vessels. The competition was, consequently, great, and the transactions difficult. This stage of things was aggravated by the intestine wars, which pre vented the tribes of the interior from bringing their productions to the sea. At Gabon trade was imprac ticable. The native merchants, overwhelmed with debt, no longer offered any guarantee, and the authorities had not been instructed to prosecute them. The ex " The Minister of War," says the Constitutionnel, " anticipates the necessity of applying for an ex traordinary credit of 25,000,000 francs, to provide for the subsistence of the army in Africa. In Al geria and the south of France the corn harvest is confidently expected to be below the average, and that the barley and potato crops will be very deficient.

IPSWICH, NORWICH, and YAR MOUTH RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the shareholders in this Company was held to-day, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of determining whether the Company should be dissolved. F. VALENTINE, Esq., having taken the chair, and Messrs. Burrit, Stephens, and Maqueen having been ap pointed scrutineers, reported that the requisite number of shares represented were present. They amounted to 20,735. From the report it appeared, that previously to en gaging in the Parliamentary contest, the directors took the necessary steps to ascertain the feelings of the shareholcers, and having found that they had a majority of 20,000 votes in their favour, they felt justified in taking the Bill before Parliament. On the rejection of the Bill by the Select Committee, the directors im• mediately proceeded to call in the accounts, andiefunded 255. on each share, which appeared to give such uni versal satisfaction, that in three days two-thirds of the scrip was produced for registration. The directors had now determined to return a further dividend of 4s. a share. The report concluded with a compliment to the secretary (Mr. Frederick Bigg) for his ability and inte grity in conducting the affairs of the Company. From the balance sheet annexed to the report, it ap peared that the total expenditure had been 29,3431. Bs. I Id. ' and the balance in hand 11 ,667/. ls. Id. The CHAIRMAN said, the question_ next to be proposed was, whether the Company should be forthwith dissolved ? Sir EDWARD BUXTON, Bart., said, that before that motion was put he would say a few words on the present position of the Com pany. Some of their directors bad had interviews and negotiations with the directors of some great com panies in that part of the country through which the line was to have passed. It had been proposed by the Norfolk Company to take up their line. That company would either provide the requisite capital, and after that they would give them (the present company) an advan tage to the amount of perhaps half the stock—(Hear) — or they (the present company) should dissolve; then the Norfolk Company would give an equivalent which should be considered to amount to half of the profits. That negotiation was at present going on. They could not certainly come to any resolution on the subject on the present occasion, but he thought the shareholders should be made acquainted with the matter. The Eastern Counties Company had expressed a most friendly feeling towards them, and were every way inclined to assist them. What he proposed under these circum stances was, that these matters should be left in the hands of a managing committee, and if anything definite were concluded upon that the shareholders should be apprised of the same, with a view of ratifying such, should it be approved of by them.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Baronet then proposed that the Company should be dissolved. _ _ The resolution being seconded, The CHAIRMAN said, as Chairman of the Company he would submit a few observations on the transactions of the Company. At the last meeting that he had the honour to address them, he stated that he thought the expenses would not be more than 10s. per share. The Company originally consisted of somewhere about 60,000 shares. All the shares taken by the directors were still retained, and there was nothing of jobbing in their transactions. Out of the number of shares that had been allotted, 53,665 shares had been paid up on. (The Chairman here passed a high eulogium on the engineer, solicitor, and other officials of the Company, and read the report of the Chairman of the Committee on the Bill, which re jected the Bill on the ground that they did not think Yarmouth entitled to have a competing line for eight miles, but expressed a hope that the parties interested would enter into some arrangement for the construction of a lineanalogous to the present, and be prepared with it by next session. Now the feeling on the part of the Com mittee was, that these two opposing lines should have amal gamated. lie had to say a word with respect to the expenses that had been incurred. He had pledge d him self that these expenses should not exceed ten shillings a share, and the directors were anxious to carry out that pledge, not only with respect to the expenses already incurred, but with respect to any future expenses. They had been met in a very liberal spirit by their solicitor, engineers, and other officers, who had reduced their demands considerably. Notwithstanding, how ever, they had incurred expenses to the extent of lls. 9d. per share. The Chairman concluded by som e very couiplin;tentaryi observe tion3 with respect to the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1846. conduct of the secretary, and suggested that after the pror sed dividend should bc; paid, they shk.uld apply the surplus or lid. or 2d. a share to a pecuniary re compense for the service of the secretary and the other The reAolution for a dissolution of the company was then put and carried unanimously. It was then put to the meeting whether the dissolu tion of the company should be taken as an act of bank ruptcy, and unanimously negatived. A SHAREHOLDER here stated, that when he heard of the Company's being about to be dissolved, he consi dered it as some trick of the directors. Ile applied, however, for some information on the subject, which was afforded him with the greatest readiness, and the result was such as to impress him with a conviction of the rectitude of the directors. The accounts, &c., were subsequently submitted to his solicitor, who expressed his satisfaction of the conduct of the directors, who, it appeared, so far from reaping any ad vantage, had sustained some losses from their connexion with the company. He would propose that the surplus mentioned by the Chairman should be ap propriated to the remuneration of the secretary and the other officials. This motion was postponed till after the legal business of the meeting had been concluded, but it was then carried. In the interim thanks were voted and acknowledged by the Chairman. The meeting then separated. BANKRUPTCY,-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FANEO IN RE ELLIOTT. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a corn merchant in Petwor:b, Sussex, came up to pass his last examination. In the course of the proceedings a proof was tendered on behalf of Messrs. Henry arid Co., of Mark-lane, for the sum of 2731. Ss., on a bill of exchange discounted for the bankrupt. The Solicitor to the assignees objected to the proof, on the ground that the claimants had agreed to take seven shillings in the pound of the drawer, and that, therefore, the amount of proof ought only to be for the difference. He urged that it was the general practice of the Court, but could not quote any cases. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he was not of that opinion. Where a person had obtained an award which could be enforced, or where he could have re ceived a dividend and had not done so, then it was clearly fair to consider the amount as a payment on ac count; but a mere agreement with a party NV hich might, or might not be pei formed, could:not be taken as such. The Learned COMMISSIONER admitted the proof for the full amount.—The bankrupt passed his examination. GUILD HALL.-(T HIS DAY.) Ay oung woman, named Eliza James, with an infant in her arms, was charged on Monday last with dis orderly and outrageous conduct in Shoe-lane, Fleet street, on the preceding Saturday, and committing a violent assault upon her husband. The complainant, Henry James, stated that he was a waiter in a coffee-house in Shoe-lane, and that his prin cipal duty was to wait upon the printers and others belonging to the Morning Herald and Morning Ativertiser newspaper-offices with tea and coffee, during the night. In pursuing hi; duty, he was con stantly annoyed by the prisoner, of whose contrivances to persecute him he gave a pitiable account. She was in the habit of knocking the trays out of his hands, and scattering the provisions, cups, saucers, teapots, and plates, on the pavement. Her ungovernable temper had compelled him to separate from her, and he allowed her 10s. a-week ; notwithstanding which she worried him in such a manner that he could not keep his place. The complainant on that occasion received an excellent cha racter from several persons in attendance, who described his case as one of great hardship. The MAGISTRATE ordered the prisoner to find bail, in two sureties of 401. each, to keep the peace for six month;. This morning the husband presented himself before Mr. Alderman Sydney, and stated that his wife had not been able to obtain the securities required, and that as she had now been locked up since Saturday last, with an infant at her breast, he was desirous that she should be released from confinement. He was so much satisfied with the sincerity of her penitence that he was willing to become bail for her himself, though no one else would. The worthy ALDERMAN accepted the proffered secu rity, and hoped that his kindness would not be abused. The woman was accordingly discharged. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTET? TO TIIREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet. Sales, 6,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were dull. By ship arrival we have accounts of May 10 from Nlelbourne, Port Phillip. "These read satiifactori!y upon the whole, and, except that the colony was pro gressing quietly and steadily, we see very little to notice. The intelligence from the East Indies, received to-day, is satisfactory in a commercial point or view. The Funds have been steady to-day, in the absence of any extensive dealings. Consols are 96 to 964 for pre sent transfer, and 96* / for time. The premium on Exchequer. bills is still rather flat at 11S. to 155., which is the result of money being somewhat dearer. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted at 98i, and the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities 961 to 1. Band Stock is worth 210 to 211, which is the full advance of yesterday.

Peter Rough, a powerful-looking young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with cutting and wounding his sister-in-law, Norah Raugh. While the complainant was giving her evidence, the pri soner's father, James Rough, was in Court, and con ducted himself in a very disorderly manner, and, as she stated that he had committed an assault upon her, he was placed at the bar with his son. The complainant, who was covered with blood, and was so faint as hardly to be able to give her evidence, said that she lived with her husband in the same house with the prisoners and their family. She had a quarrel with her husband this morning, in which the prisoners took part, and on her remonstrating with them, the younger prisoner snatched up a knife and stabbed her in the side. He also struck her and kicked her several times, and beat her about the - head with an iron saucepan. She managed to get the saucepan from him and• threw it out of the window. While this was going on the elder prisoner struck and kicked her, and so did his daughter and another woman who was present. In fact, she was set upon at once by five persons—the two prisoners, her husband, and the women she spoke of. She wished to have the latter apprehended. The iron saucepan spoken of by this witness was produced by policeman F 131, who had taken the younger prisoner into custody. The prisoners were very vehement and disorderly in their defence ; so much so, that, while they were both talking loudly together, neither the magistrate nor any one else could understand a word of what they said. The policeman said that the complainant charged her husband with beating her with a poker last night, but the inspector would not entertain the charge. Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoners till Saturday, but said he would admit James 'laugh to bail, if he could give two sureties in 101. each for his appearance on that day. They must also be bound for his keeping the peace in the mean time. The younger prisoner must remain in custody, as his was a much more serious charge. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) - 13Leor MARKETS.

FATAL FALL FROM A STEAM-AOAT.-011 Tuesday evening, about five o'clock, whilst the Vivid steam-boat, Captain Styles, was proceeding down the river, and when near Kew• bridge, a child between ten and eleven years of age, who was playing on the vessel, suddenly fell over board into the water. The father of the child (Captain Styles) immediately ordered the boat to stop, and turn astern, but the child almost instantly disappeared. A number of small wherries were soon at the place where the deceased fell, and every endeavour was made by a host of watermen to save the un fortunate child, but without success ; and up to a late 'hour yesterday the body of the deceased had act been recovered. The father of the child upon learning that his son was drowned, became so dreadfully excited, that it took several men to hold him. The mother, who was likewise ()Aboard, was equally affected.
