DISASTROUS INCENDIARY FIRE.—CAMBRIDGE, ;FEB. 7.—Early on Saturday morning a fire was discovered on the: pre mises of Mr. Free, an extensive farmer at Bottesham in this cot inty. The whole of the premises, with the exception of the ell vet ling house, together with about one hundred and thirty coombs of wt4eat, the like quantity of barley, and other agricultural produce, \ aeous Implements, a valuable cart horse, and some fat swine, were en tit ely destroyed. The fire, in consequence of a brisk wind, speedily sprm to the adjoining farm, the property of Mr. John King, which soo n shared the same fate as his neighbour's, the house only being saved • Here ids() corn, hay, implements, &c., were destroyed to as large au extent as on Mr Free's premises. Some out-buildings in the occu pation of Nr. King, glazier, were also consumed, nor was this all, for unhappily the wind being very high, sparks were conveyed by it to some cottages on the opposite side of the village, belonging to Mr. Parker, which soon ignited, and fifteen dwellings were soon one blazing mass. Twenty poor families have been thus deprived of a home, and it was truly heartrending to see the poor croatures with only their night-clothes on, running with their families they knew not whither, in search of a place of shelter, while others were en deavouring to rescue their small stock of furniture. The Norwich union engine from Cambridge arrived at four o'clock; but at that hour the Swaffham and Bottesham engines were, and had been for some time, in full work. The property we understand is insured, but the loss we fear considerably exceeds the amount of the, policies. No doubt existed from the first that the fire originated from the hand of an incendiary, and there is, we rejoice to say, every hope that in this case the miscreant will be brought to justice. A man named Webb, but commonly called " Squirrel]," was taken into cus tody at the fire, and examined this morning befbre George Jenyns, Esq., at the Swan Inn, Bottesham.

The shareholders of this Company held their half-yearly meeting at their offices, Guildhall-buildings, yesterday, at one o'clock. Among those present were A. Duff, Esq., 'John E. Lacon, Esq., Captain Warden, Horatio Bolingbroke, Esq., Captain Laurence, Samuel Anderson, Esq., R. W. Kinnaird, Esq., G. Stephenson, Esq., directors. A. DUFF, Esq., chairman to the directory, took the chair, and called on tha secretary to read the advertisement calling the meeting. The SECRETARY, at the request of the Chairman, then proceeded to read the half-yearly report, which stated that the revenue for passengers, goods, and cattle, for the five months, from the 30th of July, when the line was opened throughout, to the 31st of December, and for the one month (July) Yarmouth and Norwich line, was 31,2861. ss. 5d., including the tolls for the portion of the line, leased of the Eastern Counties Company, from Brandon to Ely. In this sum no credit was taken for the sum due from the Post office for the conveyance of mails between Yarmouth and Ely, from the Bth of August last; that, after a deduction of forty per cent. for expenses, and a charge of 1931. 10s. per mile, on fifteen miles and a-half, between Brandon and Ely, there remained a sum of 15,901/. 14s. 4d., which being sub ject to a charge of interest on the mortgage debt for half a year, left 11,7241.75. 9d. available for a dividend; that the directors recommended a dividend to be declared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the capital paid up, and that the balance, including 1,9771 unappropriated ofthe last half-year's revenue, and the amount to be awarded for conveyance of the mails, should be carried forward to the next half year's account. The report further stated, that the agree ment being negotiated with the Eastern Counties Railway, for leasing the portion of the line between Ely and Brandon, had been broken off at the wish of that Company ; that the land for the Dereham line had almost been entirely . purchased ; that with reference to the extensions alluded to in the last report, the only alterations which the directors had been • advised by their engineers to sanction were, the commencing the branch to Diss, at a point nearly half way between Attleborough and Wymondham ; extending the line to a junction with the Bury and Ipswich Railway at Stowmarket ; and the line from Reedham to Diss had been extended to Thetford, taking advantage of the facilities afforded by the valley of the Waveney, to the Dereham and Wells Exten sion ; that the branch to Blakeney had been added • and that the- requirements of the- standing....orderassia,seee. spect of these extensions had been complied with. It was stated that the directors had agreed to take an interest in the line projected by an independent Company, from Ipswich, through Halesworth, to Norwich and Reed ham. They had also agreed, with the sanction of the proprietors, to lease the line, if authorised by Parliament, from Norwich to Dereham, and from Norwich to Aylsham and North Walsh= ; and also from Thetford to Bury. The reading of the report having been concluded, The CHAIRMAN said that considering the circumstances of the Company, the directors had reason to congratulate the shareholders on the amount of revenue derived from the traffic on the lines. Such a return as had been reported to them was unusual, and it had accrued to them notwithstand ing the great disadvantages that necessarily attended the opening of new lines, and the want of sufficient engine power on the Company's line. Yet if such were the return made them in those circumstances, they had whereon to rest the most favourable calculations for the future. The public he said, bad complained of delays upon the line, but he thought they could scarcely expect that system could have yet been established on a line just opened,.where clerks, officers, and servants, of every description were new ; but the directors had taken every means to remedy the defects complained of, and he had reason to expect that, in a short time, there would be no ground for the complaint. Electric telegraphs would very soon be erected on the Company's line as well as on the Eastern Counties' line, which would, tend to prevent de lays and accidents happening. As to the extensions proposed by the directors, they were entirely in the power of the shareholders to adopt, and prosecute them or not, and a meet ing would shortly be called by the directors at which the proprietors would have an opportunity of considering their merits. The Chairman moved that the report read should be adopted. Capt. TYNDAL seconded the resolution. Mr. YATES said before putting the resolution he wished to put some questions. 220,000/. worth of shares, he said, had been allotted on the Dereham branch, and 110,0001. paid up ; he wished to know for what purpose the other 110,000/. was to be called up ; also, what amount of capital the Company meant to raise by the new shares proposed in the report to be allotted ? He reminded them that by the recent Act they were empowered to borrow 78,7501.; were they, he asked, to raise any part of that, or the whole, by new shares? He thought the item 2,8101. Is. 4d. for advertising, printing, and miscellaneous charges, and 1,744/. 2s. sd. for office charges and salaries, were large. The 1 ,977/. proposed to be carried forward to the next half-yearly account had been raised from traffic on the Yarmouth line. He did not see why the expenses of that line should be paid by the Norwich and Brandon line, and therefore he thought that the 1,9771. should be carried to the credit of the Yarmouth line, and not of the revenue account. Major COURT 'could not but agree that the items re marked on by the Hon. Proprietor were large. The SECRETARY said, that they had their expenses greatly increased by all the contingencies attendant on going to Par liament. The proprietors must know that that was very ex pensive. These expenses could not be charged out against the Norwich and Brandon line ; it was necessary therefore that they should be carried to the capital account. However, the amount of these for the present six months would form no precedent of those to be incurred by the Company after their lines had been fairly started.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. YATEs thought the expenses for the extensions, the shares of which had been allotted more recently, should be carried to a separate district account. The SECRETARY said it would but create confusion and not attain any proportional advantage. Mr. ROSE congratulated the directors and proprietors on the amount of return made them for the first six months. He quite disagreed with Mr. Yates as to the items in the ex penses which he had thought extravagant. He assured them they were not so as compared with those of other Company's. He begged to ask the directors when they expected to have a sufficient engine power where they had complained of a deficiency ? Also, as to the leasing of the Ely and Brandon line, why the arrangement had been abandoned ? He wished also to know when the Ely and Peterborough line, and when the Dereham line, would be opened. The CHAIRMAN said that waggons and trucks were ordered and nearly completed. As for engine. power, they would continue to increase it, and in the month of April they would continue to make additions till they had twenty engines on the line. The agreement respecting the Ely and Brandon line was one between their own Company and the Eastern Counties, but at the wish of that Company it had been broken off. The receipts charged in this account was the amount due to the Eastern Counties for the working of that line, the arrange ment for which continued up to the Ist of March. The ' Dereham line would be opened in the autumn; and the Pe terborough line would be opened in August. The SOLICITOR said, in answer to a Proprietor, who wished to know why they had abandoned concluding an agreement with the Eastern Counties for the Ely and Brandon line, that they had no power to compel the other Company to ac cede to it ; and as that Company wished to withdraw, he had advised the directors to concur. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to another Proprietor, said that the interest they would have in the new Company with which they proposed joining would amount to •z 50,000/. Mr. YATES wished still to know wherefore they should call up the 110,000/. ? The SECRETARY said the expenses of the Dereham branch, on account of their throwing out branches to different dis tricts, would be heavy; andas it would be necessary to erect works at Norwich for the repair of their machinery, more capital would be necessary, but he was sure they would see it would be well laid out. The calls would be regulated ac cording to the amount required. Mr. Nimes referred to the accident which occurred on the line in December last, and said he was glad to find that the report of Mr. Robert Stephenson had been supported in everything. By the report which he held in his hand, drawn up by the head engineer of the Great North of France Rail way, that gentleman had come to the conclusion, which Ge neral Pasley had condemned, that the construction of engines which they had adopted was in every respect preferable. Mr. BIDDER, the engineer, in answer to an Hon. Pro prietor, said the length of their line was 58 miles. Ile said, medequantity rn before speaki ng o f th e s i x p ence p er m il e , h e mus t remind them that their expe n ses h a d bee n greatly increased by the Dereha mtha othertßi t r . Branch, h t ae, engine g stations. . e also power or wh b ee y yr t ha haned dnoty n large ag a gaol s,provisionsb been ut they they had completing h a d been erecting at every station proper accommodation for all their servants, that all of them might live on the Company's premises. They had also incurred expenses by additional goods' stations constructed along the line, for the accommodation of farmers and those who had property along the line. One or two of these were finished, and they in tended erecting five or six more. Their cattle and fish traffic was greatly on the increase, especially the fish, and he had to assure the proprietors that this latter traffic would require a larger amount of truck provision than they had els4tooomalt.eda.mire.ithLouatst week he he ex s p ai e d nses ey th h e line 14,0001. I,cooosot head of cattle, ane 600 sheep, all of which their own engines and trucks had brought up to London. He advised the Company to purchase land along the line for the construction of new stations, as other lines, which had not taken this precaution before the land around had derived increased value from the railway, had had to purchase afterwards at an immense sacrifice. The SECRETARY, in answer to some other questions, said that the interest of 4 per cent. on the 20/. shares had not been paid, and would not, for the sake of convenience, till the whole of the shares were paid up. The new shares of 2/. proposed to be allotted, were made so small that all the shareholders might have a portion. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting, and it was carried , unanimously. It was moved by the CHAIRMAN, and seconded by Mr. CASH—That the dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital paid up, should be declared, according to the following propor tion :—Ten shillings per share on the Yarmouth and Norwich 201. shares; seven shillings and tenpence per share on the Yarmouth and Norwich new shares, 171. paid up ; seven shillings and threepence per share on the Brandon shares, upon which 16/. is paid; and ninepence per share, on the 10/. New Brandon shares; which was carried unanimously. It was moved by the CHAIRMAN, and seconded by Mr. LACON, that the directors should be authorised to raise 78,7501. by allotting 79,552 new shares, at 21. each. It was carried unanimously. A Proprietor then moved the re-election of the retiring directors, viz. Adam Duff, Esq., John E. Lacon. Esq., and Sir William Foster, Bart., which was carried unanimously. The auditors of the Company were then re-elected, and a vote of thanks having been moved to the Chairman, the meeting separated.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S--YESTERDAY. The Chester Cup betting was brisk in two or three in stances, and, with scarcely an excepti on o f any moment, wa s governed by last week's prices. Mermaid, backed freely at 35 to 1, and 1,000 to 30, was decidedly the " lion " of the day. Intrepid was also in force, and the- four leading favour ites were steady at the quoted prices ;. the outlay on each could not have been less than 2001. The Derby betting was dull, but far from unimportant, inasninch as Brocardo was forced backed to 20 to 1 (laid three or 'four trues), and left off a worse favourite than lago. This change was indicated by the demonstration adverted to last week. Tibthorpe was backed eagerly at 35 to I, and 1,000 to 15 was taken three or four times about Mr. Wreford's filly, Wilderness. At the close the averages were as under:—. CHESTER CUP. 8 to 1 agst Wadlow's lot—taken freely 18 to 1 agst Lord G.

THE Suspicious DEATH IN NEWINGTON.—Last evening an inquest was held by Mr. Carter, at the Giraffe Tavern, Penton -place, Newington, to inqaire into the circumstances of the death of Mrs. Susan Vesey, an aged female, which, from the fact of her being a principal. witness against her son in-law upon a very serious charge, were considered to be of a suspicious character. The first witness called was Richard Vesey, the son of the deceased, who deposed that his mother had, for some time past, complained of illness and spasms, and that owing to the excitement caused by her daughter's throat being cut, and her son-in-law being in custody on a charge of having inflicted the wound, she became much worse. On Friday morning she complained of being seriously ill; and wished to see Mr. Young, a medical gentleman, and witness accompanied her to that gentleman's shop. M r. Youn g g av e her some medicine, a part of which she then took, and soon after she said she was better ; but while she was returning home she fell down in the street. Wit ness assisted her home, and she went to bed with her clothes on. He left her about two o'clock. when she said she was better ; but on his re turn at eight o'clock in the evening he found her dead. Mr. Stevens, a medical gentleman, who had made a post mortem examination of the body, attributed the death of the deceased solely. do the diseased state of the heart. The jury returned a verdict o f " D eath by natu ral causes." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5, 000 bales, all to the trade, viz., 400 Pe rnams at 5F 4 d. to 6 1 / t d., 300 Egyptians at 5% d. to 8%d., 300 Surat at 2,4 d. to 3 1 4 d., and 4,000 American at 3%d. to sd. The market is steady. The Share Market improved, and prices are rather higher. Merchants, bankers, and others have all been more or less en gaged in the consideration of the debates in the lower branch of the Legislature yesterday afternoon. The proceed ings as far as they have gone appear to have given much satisfaction. There is not any news of importance from the colonies this morning. The private letters from the West Indies have been delivered, but contain matters more of a private character than of general interest. The Funds have been flat this morning, owing to several important sales. Consols have just receded from 97% to 97 1 4 for Account, and from 97% to 953/ for immediate transfer. The new Three-and-a Quarter per Cents have gone back from 100 to 99 1 / 2 3 / 4 , and Exchequer-bills from 425. to 395. premium. In most of the Foreign Funds there was not much doing. Brazil Five-and-a-Quarter Cents have just been sold at 83 1 A. Mexicans at a fall to 30%; the Portu guese Four per 'Cents. from 60 to 59%; the Spanish Five per Cents. to 28 ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 60%. Railway Shares have commanded to-day a fair share of attention. The accurate list of prices is annexed. ONIC CLOSING BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES, Three per Cent.

INTREPIDITY of the FRENCH PILOT and LIFE BOAT3IEN— RESCUE of an ENGLISH CREW. The agent at Lloyd's, at Boulogne, in reporting the British sloop Josephine having gone on shore near that port, mentions an act of persevering intrepidity on the part of the French crew of the life and pilot boat there, which is deserving of notice. " The life-boat and a pilot-beat have made three attempts to reach her, iu order to save the crew, who are still on board, bat the sea rushed over her desks with such violenee that they could not stay near her. Other attempts will be made again, and no exertion spared to save the unfortunate beings LS who are SEA. on board, if possible." NHT AT . The several notices which have appeared in the daily morning and evening papers of late, respecting the importance and necessity of a universal code of night signals at sea and on the coast, being este bedappears to have attracted amongst e merteantile marine in terest the attention which the subject deserves. It remains for Go vernment to sanction some simple code, in order to lessen the con stantly occurring loss of life and property by the want of established and understood signals. . Mr. Henry C. Chapman, shipowner, of Liverpool, in addressing Lloyd's upon the subject, mentions that he, with the view to the in troduction of some simple code, adopted one for the use of com manders of the ships in his employ, which the captains all highly approve of, as being extremely simple, and easily understood by the parties employed in the coasting and fishing* trades. Mr. Chapman mentions also that Sir Charles Ogle, and several naval officers, ap- proved of his code. A MAGISTRATE WANTED. —Of late considerable difficulty has been experienced in finding a magistrate around Bea consfield. An acting magistrate it is difficult to find In that district. A. few days since the constable of that place had two mea in custody, whom he had to take before a justice; but, although be went to the residences of eight, and travelled about thirty miles, he coald not find one, and was in consequence obliged to keep the men in cus tody two days, till the Eton petty sessions came on, and then to take them about ten miles to taw meeting. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) Sub-Committee No. 1. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock ; Mr. Strutt in the chair. THE LONDON, NEWEURY, AND BATH RAILWAY. The Committee proceeded with this adjourned case. Mr. BURKE submitted several allegations similar to those which were decided against him yesterday, but the Com mittee having exproesed their di sa pp ro b a ti on o f r e-opening arguments which would avail him nothing, the other allega tions were then withdrawn, and The Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with, with the exception of the case of Mrs. Susannah Shaw. THE DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH. The Committee then called on this case. Mr. PARKES appeared for the promoters. Mr. DAVID J. COLES appeared to make an otjection to the proceeding - with the Bill. He was himself a petitioner against the project, but was prevented from presenting several petitions against it through the neglect of the pro moters. They had given notice on the 2d of February that the Sub-Committee would Fit on the 4th, so that the peti tions, which otherwise would have been presented against the Bill, were abandoned in consequence of riot having had sufficient notice to have them presented. They should, in accordance with the standing or d ers, have given the public three clear days notice of the sitting of the Sub•Counnittet, and this was not done. He therefore submitted that they could not proceed. The CHAIRMAN' said that the postponement of the sitting of the Committee from thud to that day was not unfavour able to the public, inasmuch as there was more time gives to get up any petitions which they might wish t• present. The delay was not occasioned by the promoters, but by the I - louse of Commons. As to not having given three clear days' notice in the first instance, that nun- ceuspliance with the standing orders was got over by the subsequent post ponement of the inquiry. The objection was, therefore, overruled. Mr. PARKZS then called witnesses to prove the depositing of the plans and sections, and the books of reference. After which Mr. BURKE said he had to object to the promoters' con tract deed. (LEFT SITTING.) Sub-Committee No. 2. The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock ; Sir J. Y Huller in the chair. SERIES AND HANTS (RUNGERPORD EX TENSION) RAILWAY. - The formal evidence in support of the petition having been finished, the petitions against the Bill were heard. Mr. COATES (of the firm of Dyson and Hoare) appeared in support of the petition of Messrs. Ward and Merryman, which alleged that there was an omission in the names of • places along the line in the book of reference. Mr. PmTT, agent for the promoters, contended that these parties were not owners of property to be affected by the proposed railway. The CHAU/ALIN considered that the petitioners on this point were out of court. (LEFT SITTING.) Sub-Committee, No. 3. This Committee resumed its sittings at the usual hour this morning, Mr. Aglionby in the chair. EDINBURGH AND PEEBLES RAILWAY. This was the petition of an independent Company for leave to bring in a Bill to make a railway from a point on the Dalkeith Branch of the North British Railway to Pee !les. The line, which was laid out by Mr. D. Stephenson, is proposed to pass through Lasswade, Loanhead, Rollin, and Greenlaw ' by the vale of Eddl es t one W ater to Peebles. The estimated cost of the line is 317,0001., which is divided into 10,000 shares, of 25/. each. The engineer of the line, in the course of his evidence ex plained that the section of the line exhibited a trifling error, which was occasioned by a mistake of the engineer, who had transposed or misplaced a couple of figures, having reference to a gradient on one portion of the line. No one, however, could be mislead by this inadvertance, inasmuch as another measurement on the section, and relating to the same incli nation on the line, would supply the exact information re quired. - The Committee decided that in thin respect the standing orders had not been complied with, but in all others they had. The CHAIRMAN, in ann ounc i ng th e d ec i s i on o f the Com mit tee, remarked that as the error could mislead no one, he. had no doubt the objection would be overcome in the Stand ing Orders Committee. GkINERA.L TERMINUS AND GLASGOW HAUB 01711. -- This was a petition for leave to bring in a Bill to make a general railway terminus in Glasgow, and extending the lines running into it, to the harbour of that city. The scheme has been planned by Mr. Neil Robson, vho esti mates the cost of the project, which includes a branch to the Glasgow and Ayr Railway, and another branch to the Glasgow, Barrhead, and 'Neilston Railway—a line which passed last session—at 111,732/. The customary formal proofs having been put in, the Committee declared that the standing orders had been com plied with. BIZIGHTON, LEWES, AND HASTINGS BRANCHES. This was the petition of the London and Brighton Railway Company, who are the proprietors by purchase of the Brighton, Lewes, and Has:ings Railway, fur leave to bring in a Bill to make deviations in some or their existing lines, and to make branches to Eastbourne, Newhaven, and Seaford; the estimated capital fur which is 136,800/. The Committee ; after hearing the customary formal evi dence, decided that the standing orders Lad been complied with. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY. This was another petition of the London and Brighton Company, who are the proprietors by purchase of the Brighton and Chichester Railway, for leave to bring in a Bill to make a branch line of that railway from Bognor to Little hampton. Sub-Committee No. 4. This Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock, in room No. 11, when there were present, Sir W. Heathcote, eke ;r -man, Mr. Evans, Mr. Home Drummond, and Mr. Hope Johnstone. AYLESBURY AND TRAME JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. This was a Bill to make a Railway, in continuation of the Aylesbury braich of the London and Birmingham Railway. The standing orders were complied with. The length of the line is represented as 101 miles, and the cost is estimated at 100,000/. Mr. Robert Stephenson is the engineer, and the agents were Messrs. Wright, Smith, and Co. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MID LAND JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. By this Bill it is proposed to form a railway from Sheffield to Chesterfield, and from Dronsfield, through Chatsworth to Bakewell. The cost of the line is estimated at 1,050,000/. for a length of twenty-three and a half miles. The engineer is Mr. Vignolles, and the agents, Dorrington, FUN' ward, and Co. there was no opposition, and the standing orders were complied with. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) SST IVILIi.=.2EVTIII.

This case, which has excited considerable interest, has boon decided in favour of the defendant, counsel on behalt of the Company having mentioned to the Court on Saturday last that they would consent to thea l ll a o i w ntifts , injunction to be dissolved. By this move on the part of the any expression of opinion by the Court upon the coaduct P of the parties will , be avoided. It will be recollected, that aiter the defendant's counsel had addressed the Court In support of the motion to dissolve the injunction, the matter stood over in consequence of the Vice-Chancellor desiring to see a case that the plaintiffs thought proper to keep back from him when they applied for their injunction, and which it appears by the defendant's answer was laid before Mr. Lloyd, the barrister, on his behalf, in March last, by Mr. David Williams, the solicitor ot the Company, and in which it was expressly stated that the har bour of Portdynllaen was purchased by the defendant for himself, while no mention, or reference of any kind, Was made therein to the North Wales Railway Company, nor was anything stated that could be strained to justify their recent attempt is claim the benefit of the purchase, and which it appears, moreover, was made some months before tke Company Was thought of or formed. GOV ERN MENT PRECA UTIONS. Active preparations are in progress fer carrying out the precautionary measures noticed in our last. The Indian corn :ind corn meal in store at liaulbowline will be transferred on Monday to the Lee Mills, which wid be on that day delivered up to the authorities. Accommodation has been provided there for forty soldiers and two officers, who will be per manently stationed on the premises ; and it is said that two pieces of cannon will be planted at the gates.—Cork Southern &porter. EXTENSIVE SLIP OF EARTH. WORK ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—A large slip of an embankment supporting the down rail ofthe Great Western Railway, occurred on Saturday night last. The heavy rains which have fallen for some weeks past_ have produced a prejudicial effect upon the earth-works of the line, and has Ito doubt rendered them at many points less assure. The slip oc curred between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday night, not very long before the six o'clock up-train from Bristol was due. The embankment gave way ter a considerable distance, and slipped from under the up-rail, which was left supported only by some of the wood-work. A number of mesa are engaged in repairing the damage, and it is expected it will cost the company above 1,0001. THE LIVERPOOL CORN LA w PETITION.—Upwards of 50,000 signatures were attached to the Liverpool petition praying for a total and immediate repeal of the cern-laws.

AMSTERDAM, Fan. 4.—The number of passengers on the Dutch railway in the month of January was 52,244 ; the money received for passengers and goods was 54,640 florins. The Second Chamber of the States General will meet the day after to-tnorrow (Friday). Some projects of law will be presented to the Chamber on that day, among which will be one confirming the measure adopted by way of reprisal against Belgium, and a number of proposals relative to the first book of the penal code ZWOLLE, FEB. 2.—ln consequence of the extraordinary rise of the Twen and the Dinkel, extensive inundations have taken place, and much damage is done to the road. and bridges in this province. The river Yecht and Rigge have also risen to a level with the crown of the dikes, so that it was necessary to take pre cautions against inundation. BOIS LE Due, FEB. 4.—What we expected has come to pasc. The inundation has reached the town, and a great number of streets are under water, in sonic places to the depth of two feet. Many houses, chiefly belonging to the poorer classes, are completely overflowed. The communica tions are wholly interrupted in many places. There are similar accounts of inundations from several other places AMSTERDAM, FEB. 6.—We have received the Java journals to the 11th October, which contain a resolution of the Go ' vernor• General of India, to the effect that the import duties which are to be charged ad valorem shall be levied either on the valuation, according to the market price of the day, or on the invoice price, with an addition of 30 per cent. DRESDEN, JAN. 28.—We have unfortunately spin to an nounce a great and increasing inundation of the Elbe. The flood is now 13 feet above the usual level and has overspread the country far and wide. The snow in the Bohemian and Saxon mountains has been melted in a few days by the con tinued rains ; the Moldan has done immense damage at Prague. The tributaries of the Elbe have almost all risen to an extraordinary height, so that we may expect greater masses of water to come down. We have at present a sharp frost, which we hope will prove some check on the 'waters.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. The trade in Wheat has, since our last, maintained a very firm tone; and though the millers have acted with much cau tion, prices have tended upwards at several of th• leading provincial markets. In the agricultural districts the rise has been somewhat greater than at the chief consuming markets, farmers having generally brought forward moderate supplies. This has been particularly the case at the shipping ports on the east coast, front whence the produce of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk is dispatched to the south and north. This cer tainly does not look like an intention on the part of the growers to force sales at depreciated prices. The arrivals of \Yheat coastwise into London have been only moderate during the week ; nor has much been exhi bited at Mark-lane, by land-carriage samples, from the neighbouring counties. The purchases made by the millers on Monday appear to have sufficed for their immediate wants, and the demand has since then been extremely slow. On Wednesday the transactions were of so little importance as scarcely to afford the means of judging of the real value of the article; nor was much more done on Friday, though factors manifested a disposition to facilitate business, and would probably have accepted rates a trifle below those cur rent in the beginning of the week it' they could thereby have succeeded in clearing oil' the few parcels on sale. Foreign free Wheat has also been difficult of disposal, particularly the inferior descriptions, comprising the b u lk o f what re mains in granary. Really good qualities have not been sold cheaper than on Monday at any period of the week ; and such is the scarcity of really serviceable parcels, that small lots have, from time to time, been released from under lock by bonded certificates. Bonded Wheat has met with very little attention. A few orders have been received from Bel gium for Polish Odesse, but the limits have been too low to admit of their execution. The speculative demand appears, for the present, to have entirely ceased; end though fair Dantzic has been offered at 565., and good Lower Baltic, red, at 525. to 535. per quarter, scarcely a bargain has been closed. So general is the expectation that Sir Robert Peel will succeed in earning his new measure, that very little at tention is being paid to the averages; hence the rise in the duty to I7s. per quarter on Thursday last had no influence one way or the other on bonded Wheat. RIiVIEW OF THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. The latest advices front New York inform us that the de mand for flour for export to England had rather slackened in the early part if January, but about the middle of the month a renewed inquiry had sprung up, which had enabled holders of Genessee to realise 514 dolls. per barrel for good brands. Further news from Great Britain was anxiously looked for, and it was expected that the tone of the English letters would have considerable influence on the market. From the north of Europe the accounts are of much the same character as those previously received. Though the demand for wheat appears generally to have been languid at most of the continental ports, the smallness of the stock, and the prevailing opinion that great scarcity is likely to be felt before another harvest can be secured, seem to have pre vented any decline occurring in prices; indeed quotations have rather moved upward, as well in Germany as in Hol land and Belgium. The latest accounts front Dantzic state that holders of really tine old wheat had manifested no inclination to lower their pretensions, and that few were willing to enter into contracts to ship the best samples (the produce of 1842) in spring below 555. per quaff ter. New wheat might have been bought at from 48s. to 525. per quarter, according to quality, but the actual transactions had not been of much im portance. A letter from Vlbing, dated 27th ult , furnishes us with a statement of the stocks of grain there at the commence ment of January, from which it appears that the entire quantity of wheat in granary consisted on the first of that month of only 2,360 lasts. tittle or nothing had been done there in wheat for shipment, prices being relatively higher than at the neighbouring port of Dantzic. At Stettin holders of wheat appear to have remained firm, and by the latest reports from thence we learn that there were no sellers below 475. to 48s. per quarter, free on board in spring. The reports from Hamburgh state that the navigation of the Elbe had again become impeded by floating ice, the weather having been frosty during the latter part of Ja nuary. The corn market had in some degree recovered from the previous depression, and wheat, as well as most kinds of spring corn, had been held at enhanced rates. At Rotterdam, on Tuesday, all sorts of grain were held at enhanced terms, in consequence of an anticipateddemand from the Rhenish provinces. ed r , o b lish een caused by the proposed alterations s At Antwerp a material rise had,. 5 in Pomeranian wheat at Odessa had been sold at over s we er are informed, e being quoted, onthe 3d instant, 445. 60., 575. 7d per quarter. Other articles had risen in the same 32s.per quarter. and barley from 295. to proportion : ry The accounts from the Mediterranean are still without in terest, prices of wheat Wing much too high in that quarter to admit of business being done with a view to the English markets. Letters from Marseilles, of the 31st of January, quote Polish Odessa wheat 455., and Danube 41s. per quarter free on board, being nearly as much as those qualities are at present worth in the London Market. From Odessa the advices of the 16th of January state that vessels had become very scarce; consequently little had been done, for want of shipping. Ordinary wheat was then held at 28s. to 325., good secondary sorts at 345., and fine at ass. 6d. to 38s. 6d. per quarter, free en board.—Mark-lane Express. SALMON kISHINGS.—The first two clays' returns which have reached us from our own distriet are favourable. In the Caraoll, three fish were got; in the Beauly about the same number ; in the Ness, five fish ; while at Yortrose Point and other parts of the coast about fitly were got. The want et' ice is much felt. There is none north of the Findhorn, where about one-fourth of the usual quantity has been collected; at the Spey one-half; but at Aberdeen there has been about the usual quantity.—Ross-shire Acirerliser. FISHERY PIERS ♦ND HARBOURS (IRELAND).—Yester day the third measure on the part of the Government for the im provement of Ireland was printed, entitled " A Bill to encourage the Sea Fisheries of Ireland, by promoting and aiding with grants of public money the construction of piers, harbours, and other works." it is appointed to be read a second time to night (Tuesday). Under each of the three measures—Public Works, Drainage, and Fishery Viers— it is proposed to advance 50,0001. There are as many as 87 sections in the bill. The preamble states the objects to he carried out, and provisions have been framed under the following heads ; Commissioners, greats, loans, preliminary proceedings, works, pur chase of lands, security for loans and repayment, maintenance of works, and miscellaneous matters. The Exeter petition for the immediate repeal of the corn-laws has received three days upwards of JACO signatures. - - - - DISTRESS IN DITNGARV AN.—Notwithstanding all the representations of the great distress prevailing in this locality, and the unmistakeable fact of a subscription being entered icto, to partially relieve it, the rulers of this country are looking as listlessly on as if the appalling facts detailed had no reality. We must again remind them that there are upwards of 5,000 persons at present in a starving condition in Dungarvan, and there is no prospect whatever or relief for this distress. Were it not for the humanity of a few individuals, who generously and benevolently came forward, and subscribed a large suns, we would before now have to record many deaths sufferers.
