A general meeting of the shareholders in the above Com pany wat held at the London Tavern this diy, for the pur pose of receiving the report of the Directors, and for consi dering propo=als for amalgamating with other lines. mi.. Ward, M.P., presided. The 'ecretary, Mr. Hughes, having read the notice calling the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said the report, which it would be his duty to read to them, emanated from the Committ ee o f Management, and was short, simple. and he hoped would prove satisfactory. He need not in consequence detain them with preliminary observations. He would, however, express his regret that so much timo had been necessarily consumed in arranging terms of negotiation which were long and difficult —(Hear, hear)—from the number of interests which 'had to be brought into contact and communication with each other. Some longer time had therefore elapsed before calling the shareholders together than the Directors had a month ago considered to be necessary. He (the Chairman) had received several communications from persons interested, expressing some doubts as to the motives of the Board. These doubts and suspicions would, he thought, be removed by the propositions they had that day to submit to the shareholders—propositions he was sure they (the shareholders) would find it to their interest to concur in. Should any of them, however, dissent, there was an option given them which would be fully explained by the report. The report was then read. The following abstract will show its nature:— • " The acting Committee of the Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby Railway have the pleasure of informing the share holders that they have entered into an amalgamation with the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, and the Worcester and Warwick lines, upon terms of advantage to the three com panies. The terms were that the three companies should form one; the capital to be consolidsted ; and the Boards united; that out of the three lines for which Par liamentary notices had been served and plans and sections deposited, the best should be selected by some eminent engineer, which, when brought in contact with the lines centreing at Worcester from South Wales and other im portant district., would yield a traffic of the most remune rative character. The Directors, in their address of the 4th December, had stated that unless some such arrangement could be entered into, they would call together a meeting, and return the deposit of 30s. to each shareholder, minus the expenses already incurred. They wished now to be better than their word, and, therefore, would pro pose the resolutions, one confirmatory of the amalgama tion, and the other providing to those shareholders who might dissent, the return of their deposit on a day given.—(Hear, hear.) After a few remarks from the Chairman, recommending the adoption of the Report, Several proprietors put various questions, which were readily answered. The CHAIRMAN said that the number of shares issued to the public had been 35,000; the number of shares paid in had been above 18,000. The number reserved to some landed gentleman near Mr. Redditch, had been 5,0C0; for the acting and Provisional Committees, ,000 ; making altoget her 21,000, and odd shares issued and paid on out of 45,000, and giving them a fund in hand of 45,3641. There were no com peting lines. The amount of expenses would be about 11,000!., namely, 5,0001 for engineering, and 4,0001. solicitors and agents, including serving of Parliamentary notices, 1,0001. traffic tables, and 1,0001. for salaries, office expenses. &c. On the motion of Mr. ROUSE, seconded by Mr. KETTERING, the report was received and adopted. The CHAIRMAN then read the resolutions, which were also carried. They were—first, that the amalga mation of the three lines be confirmed. Second, That such of the Proprietors as shall dissent therefrom shall signify the same by letter, addressed to the secretary, within seven days from this date, and that they shall be enti tled to receive on a day to be advertised by the Committee the sum of 80s. foil every share now in their possession; those shares to be re-issued at the same prices to such of the a=sentients among the, shareholders, as shall in like manner signify their desire to avail themselves of this option; such shares to be divided rateably among the assentients. • Thanks were then voted to the Directors, and the meeting broke up. MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS• CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. POST.--The foreign exchanges were higher to-day. Three months' bills on Paris were negotiated at the favourable rate of 25 85 to 90, and short bills at 25 60 to 65. On Amsterdam, Hamburgh, and other leadinc , places, the quotations were equally upon the rise. It i s not to be believed, therefore, that the arrangements of the Bank of England with regard to dis counts will need any altaraticn, unless it be, as before sug gested, on the side of relaxation. With the dividends coming into the money market, the produce market in a state of calm, and the continental exchanges becemi. , g, from post day to post day, more and more in favour of this country, any present advance in the charge of the corporation seems to us to be out of the question. We are informed, nevertheless, that, however readily bills at short date may be placed with the discount houses and private bankers, there is little par tiality for paper having several months to run. The Funds have not recovered from the depreision under which they laboured yesterday. An uncertainty with re spect to the mode of dealing the Bank niay be enipowered by Government to adopt in the case of railway- deposits paid into the establishment by the Accountant-General, and the sales making of stock by Provisional Committees in advance, at the high prices now current, are still the causes assigned' for the feebleness of the markets. The broker for the Corn missioner made purchases to the extent of 30,0001. in the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities, and the Three-and a , Quarter per-Cent: Stock, 'Which` served in the first instance to sustain prices. Consols, for the opening, realised 94%, ex div., and might have gone higher, but for the sales effected on railway and other accounts, particularly as the Govern ment broker made a purchase, after the business transacted for account of the sinking fund had been completed, in behalf of the savings banks; but the sales, on balance, preponde rating, the bear party had eventually the advantage, and, in the course of the day, Consols receded to 94i. The fall was assisted by the opera:ions of a leading firm, which, in stead of paying its differences on the time business of the lag six weeks, made arrangements for carrying over its account. The rate of continuation given was 3-16 per cent. In this rate there was nothing excessive, but the determination of a wealthy house to go on to the next settling day was looked upon as symptomatic of a weak position founded upon a false or imperfect information. The Share Market continues extremely languid. The pressure of sales on country account seems to be the princi pal cause. The onus of the Liverpool and Manchester business, so far as the realisation of railway scrip is concerned, is under stood to be thrown almost exclusively on the London market. It will be worth the while of the London operators to recollect this on a future cccasion when speculation runs high. The people of Lancashire and Scotland were the most riotous in their purchases, while premiums were the order of the day, but it is seen that they are no less active now in the promo tion of a panic. Were it not for this want of nerve on the part of the provincial dealers, things would progressively right themselves with us. WHAT IS SIR ROBERT PEEL GOING TO DO ? TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—What is Sir Robert Peel going to do ? We have heard much of " the inquiring spirit of the age," but never was inquiry so rife as at the present moment. From one end of the land to the other, from the Duke who fattens cattle to the labourer who, in the words of his Grace of Richmond, "is incapable of fattening," the question is again and again repeated," Who knows what Sir Robert Peel is going to do ?" To borrow from Punch—echo answers " Nobody." Who can give us this valuable information? Valuable, especially to the little satellites who have lost their great comet in a cloud, and are half-inclined to snuff them selves out—to those unfortunate individuals who have been playing at " follow my leader," said leader having slipped round the corner, leaving them to whine, "It isn't fair." All the events of the past Ministerial crisis are veiled in the same impenetrable mystery, and we only know hat— There was a man of Tamworth town, And he was wondrous wise: He jumped out of the Cabinet To all men's great surp r i s e. • But when he saw " the little lord" Was not allowed to reign— ek then new sa i y To astonish all the people jumpedmore— theinaaggraieinuituri t " h " If we only H • ss, t en —we are not prepared to say what would follow " this informa tion so devoutly to b e w i s h e d . " Even the Heral d is unable "to propoge" a solution of the difficulty, and we are all like little children before the g reen curtain, and , having witnessed the last trick of the mighty conjuror, we are anxiously whispering, " What will he do next?" The depositories of hereditary wisdom—the accumu lated growth of ages—are not more enlightened. They are all solicitous for the country's good—at least they say so, and where is the man hardy enough to disbe lieve a Duke. Still we are inclined to doubt it. Were they really actuated by this benevolent motive, they would cease to have any voice in our councils ; they would retire horn the perplexing path of politics, "cul tivate forbearance on a little oatmeal," and adorn a more limited sphere by their labours of love. We might find it difficult to get on without -them, but we try neverthe less. We say, then, had these gentlemen the love of country strongly developed, Salisbury would descend into humble life, and become a shepherd on his own plain ; Chandos might po.sibly present his famous head to the League, to be exhibited at a Covent-garden meeting, and libelled, " This is the head of a monopolist ;" no doubt the admiring auditory would rejoin, "So much for Buckingham." Then again, out of pure love, Norfolk might give himself to Mr. Lazenby, resolutely resolved to be worked up into "cum powder for the million ;" while mother earth might take Richmond at his word, open her benevolent jaws, and swallow him. That, Sir, I will guarantee, would bring an answer to the question, " What is Sir Robert Peel going to do ?" I am, Mr. Editor, your humble servant, January 13, 1845. MARK ANTONY. TUB APPROACHING SEASON.—The official an nouncement in the London Gazette of last evening, which will be found in another part of our paper, announces the in tention of her Majesty to hold levees at St. James's Palace on the 11th and 18th of February respectively. A drawing-room is also appointed to be held on the 28th of February. We may, therefore, look forward to the early commencement of the London season. DEATH OF MRS. CORNWRLL B ARON WILSON. This popular writer expired on Monday, a t h er residence in Woburn-place, leaving a family and a numerous circle of fi ieuds to lament her loss. Mrs. Wilson was the authoress of several very clever poems. In 1837 she gained the prize offered by the Melodists' Club, for the words of a song, although there were upwards of two hundred candidat es . She also was awarded the prize for a poem on the Prince=s Victoria (now our Most Gracious Queen), at the Cardiff Bardic Festival in 1834; and she also wrote the words in the third volume of Mr. Parry's Welsh Melodies. THE MlLlTlA.—Alexander Spence, late sergeant in the Royal Horse Artillery, and colour-sergeant of one of the enrolled companies of pensioners of the Woolwich divi sion, is said to have received a commission as lieutenant in the militia, about to be called out for training early in the spring. Sixty-five is the number to be balloted for in the town and parish of Woolwich. THE MILITIA.--4iessrS. G. and W. Ormond, of Bond-street, have received orders to supply 43,000 sets of accoutrements to the Board of Ordnance, for the use of the militia. The order is to be completed without delay.

Gentlemen,—lt appears certain that the present Govern ment intend to repeal the corn-laws, and as it is most im portant that such a step should not be discussed as a party question. I, who can have no sympathy in ith the political principles of Sir Robert Peel, entreat you to give to his pro posal a favourable attention, and invite yuu to consider calmly a few facts bearing upon the most important feature in this absorbing question. I allude to the employment of the industrious classes; fir you are aware that many of the surporters of "protection"' assert, and I have no doubt sin cerely believe, that free trade in corn would prevent the re clamation of waste land, and thereby diminish the em ploytnent of the agricultural labourer. I confess I once entertained a similar opinion ; but practical experience, for the last ten years, has forced upon me a very different con clusion. During this period, besides building the mansion-houses of Comer and Drumlamford, I ihiye erected eight of the best farm steadings in the parish, attaching to each from two to five hundred acres ; I have given suitable encouragement to seven other tenants to erect their own buildings, each of their. having from forty to one hundred acres. I have built five bridges, and made nine miles of public road, and can most truly assert that, with the exception of the cost of the mansion-house of Corwin. (and building a mansion-house in the country should always be considered as near l y a l oss ) , I have been no loser by my improvements. Profit I never desired ; all I wished was that which I have obtainel, a healthy and pleasant occupation. Whether my operations have been of public benefit, I leave to the decision of those among you who have been for some years acquainted with the country for the first six miles along the turnpike road from Barr-hill to Newton Stewart. But if you take into consideration the fact, that during this period, besides being engaged in political warfare—stand ing four contested electiuns and three election petitions—l • have suggested and carried one of the most important public improvements in the metropolis, connecting the Grosvenor property with the Houses of Parliament, you will imme diately perceive how much more profitable my improve ments would have been, had they been directed by your superior practical knowledge, and watched over by your un divided attention ; yet, during the last ten years, the price of corn has been, for the greater portion of the time, at a price which would leave no profit to a grower either in Europe or America, after he had paid freight and other incidental charges. • It is also said that abolition of the corn-laws would throw poorer land out of cultivation, and thereby diminish the em ployment of agricultural labourers. This I conceive to be impossible ; for if, with low prices, I can profitably reclaim waste land, necessarily loaded with the extra cast of build • tog farm-houses, making roads, &c., and also with consi- • derably greater expenses in the actual cultivation, how is it credible that land which is now profitably cultivated would cease to be so. That rents would be reduced Ido not doubt, although perhaps not to the extent at present contemplated ; for both landlords and tenants would soon discover that de ficiency in price might, by high farming, be compensated for by increased quantity, and you all know that high farming cannot be practised without increasing the employment of the agricultural labourer. Trusting that these observations may induce those among you, who have considered that a free trade in corn will throw the agricultural labourer out of employment, to reconsider your opinion, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, 3 our faithful servant, __ _ iIIGBY WASON. ALARMING TIRE. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN FOUR HOUSES. Last night, shortly after nine o'clock, the immediate vicinity •of Camden-town was thrown into a state of feverish excitement by the simultaneous outbreak of no fewer than four separate fires, which there is every ground to conclude were the work of some vile incon diary. From inquiries instituted on the spot, our reporter learned that at the time previously stated, three police cototables of the S division were going their rounds past Hawley Fields; Camden -town, when tine of them' (No. 90) had his attention suddenly directed towards the western corner house of a pile of four newly-erteted habitations, situate in the fields, by perceiving an un usual light therein. • At first the officer imagined that the light was caused by some,of the workmen drying the bUilding, but the same increasing in strength; he hastened across,the fields to examine th 3 place, when he found im mensghodies of smoke pouring forth from the roof and windeivs, which at , once-satisfied him - that the building was on fire.. Without delay alarm was raised in the usual way, and the officer being quickly joined by other con stables, an attempt was at once made to extinguish the flames by pouring buckets of water upon them. Whilst the constables, however, were passing the three other houses, they discovered, to their no small amaze ment, that the other corner house was also on fire at the back ; and in the course of a few seconds afterwards they found out that the remaining two houses were like wise in flames. A messenger was, therefore, dispatched in a cab to the several stations cf fire-brigade, and also to the West of England office, with intelligence of the circumstance. In the mean time the police exerted them selves most manfully in endeavouring to stop the further ravages of the flames. Notwithstanding, however, the fire travelled with such fury as to speedily penetrate the roof of the house in which the fire was fir: ob served. Nothing daunted, thy continued to labour without any intermission until Mr. Staples, the fe l e man of the London Brigade, arrived, with several engines of the establishment ;. and to their exertions may be attributed the •saving of a deal of property. The West of England engine, from the Waterloo road, with the Company's firemen and Mr. Con norton, were taken to the scene with all possible expe dition. The firemen, upon arriving, had to encounter great difficulties to get an engine near the burning houses. They having plenty of fire-buckets at hand, a fernied by the men, and, by passing the water frailjtfriluetimros vast stream was dhcharged at the buildingolwlickhadeithe desired effect of getting the flames extingliished ;`,that, however, was not accom plished until the .fire had travelled throughout the first named house, and severely burnt the remaining three, more especially the staircases and parlour floorings. From the fact of the four houses being on fire at the same time, not the least doubt remains that the fire was wilfully caused, but by whom is at present wrapped in mystery. The firemen, upon examining the premises after the fire was got out, found that the flames could pot by any possibility have travelled from one house to the other without the aid of some one. They also found that the fire had commenced in every place about the Staircase. The houses are said to be the property of Mr. Marshall, of llentwick-place, and it is atpresent unknown whether or not they are insured. ROYAL HUMANE SOClETY.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the half-yearly general court of the Royal Humane Society, of which her Majesty is the patroness, was held in sadur a r3fi' five v v oh o e ne t r : s r the board-room of the society's offices, No. 3, Trafalgar square, to receive the last half-year's report.

The lists mentioned but three offenders : one for cutting the scats, fined 10s. ; and two others for indecent conduct in Hyde-park, each sentenced to three months' hard labour in the House of Cor rection. From January up to December, in last year, there r . have been 30 individuals apprehended for indecent conduct in Hyde, the Green, and St. James's parks. It is a singular circumstance that in the Eegent's-park not any offences are committed. It was stated by several of our Contemporaries last week, that there would be a chapter of the Order of the Garter on Monday last at Windsor Castle. We understand there was not the slightest foundation for the report, neither is any day appointed for a chapter of that illustrious order. 'We are authorised to give the most express contra diction to the statement put forth at the late vestry meeting at Windsor, that the late King George 111. and his succes sors uniformly paid rates for the Flemish Farm, such being directly contrary to the facts. It is true that when this farm was let to a tenant the rates were paid in the usual co l u i rm but since the tenant quitted possession. uniformly been in the hands of the Crow in n, and ever since been paid.

A rumour prevailed last night that Lord Gran ville Somerset was about to retire from the Cabinet. This step is attributed to his Lordship's dissatisfaction with the contemplated measure of Sir Robert Peel upon the corn laws, which was communicated to the Cabinet on Monday. --Chronicle. tO e•iej 1 1 .)
