fourtib Mbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. FRAN CE. Ihe Chief of the Executive Government has just instituted in the Ministy of Public Works a central commission of railways, to replace the old general commission instituted by ordinance of 6th April, 1847. The central commission is to be con sulted on the line to be taken by railways, the establishment of the iron railroad and accessories, the materiel, the technical and business work ing, the establishment of stations, the regulations of the police, and generally on all questions concerning the relations of companies with the Government. The . Conseil General des Ponts•et - Chaussees is to remain exclusively charged with questions relative to the taking of lands, the execution of earth works, and works of art, and the regulations of the accounts of contractors. On Tuesday a proposition was laid on the bureau of the President of the National Assembly by M. Lempereur, representative, to the effect that in o rd er to secure the suppression of the taxes on patents, salt, and liquors, a tax of one-tenth shall, from Ist January next, be established on the nett revenue of each Frenchman and Frenchwoman enjoying hislor her fortune, after deduction made of charges proved by authentic deeds, but only if such revenue exceeds at least by a tenth the mini mum w hi c h s h a ll b e fi xe d according to the population of the communes. On Tuesday evenin g G enera l C ava i gnac h e ld a re ception, which was most numerously attended. The :Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, the Charges d'Affaires of Sardinia and Spain, M. and Madame de Lamartine, the President of the Assembly, and Ma dame Marrast, and all the Ministers, Deputies of all shades of opinion, many Generals, and a great number of National Guards of all ranks were present. General Ca v ai gnac converse d a l ong ti me with Lord Normanby, General Lamoriciere, and several Members of the National Assembly. A grand military orchestra in the garden executed several pieces of ;music. This was the first time music was introduced at the General's soirees. About ten o'clock, the report of a fire-arm was heard in the garden, and it caused certain agitation among the guests, some of them rushing to the spot from whence the report proceeded, others gathering round the General. It was soon ascertained that the report was occasioned by a sentinel having let his musket fall. No injury, however, was done. The National announces that the Central Demo•• cratic Committee for the elections of the Seine have adopted as candidates M. Edmond Adam, M. Horace Say, and M. Gervais (de Caen). This, we believe, may be regarded as the list adopted by the National. AUSTRIA. The Vienna Gazette of the Bth announces that the Minister of War had received a letter from General Wendel, dated the Ist instant, stating that friendly negotiations with the Pope were still in progress ; that the Pontifical Government had acknowledged its being satisfied that the movement of General Wendel against Bologna had no other object than to drive away the volunteers, and that the said Government was itself proceeding to disarm these volunteers, as - was proved by a decree issued on the 22d ult. by the i\linister of the Interior. FRANKFORT. The Lieutenant-General of the Germanic empire has published the following decree : " The law of 23:h June, 1848, has defined the attri butions of the Central Power, as well fur the direction of the army as for international relations and the exer cise of the executive power i❑ all affairs connected with the safety and well-being of Germany. Paragraph 14 of this law imports that, in measures of execution, the Central Power is to place itself i❑ accord with the plenipotentiaries of the governments. On July 15, the Central Power declared that it relied upo❑ the co operation of the German Governments in the exercise of its rights and in the fulfilment of its duties ; and ' that they, i❑ concert with it, should pursue one and the same end. Faithful to this declaration, and seeing that all the Plenipotentiaries are named, it proclaims as follows:—The Central Power acknowledges the grandeur and importance of its engagements—it knows that the solution of difficulties depends upon the strength and firmness of its measures, and in cases where cer tain rights of separate states may be infringed, those of the German Union ought to prevail. These are the principles upon which must be founded the relations between the Central Power and the plenipotentiaries. They will facilitate the execution of the deci sions of the Central Power without having the right of controlling them by exercising a collective ac tion. The Central Power reserves the right of placing itself, according to circumstances, in relation with the Go vernments of the separate states and their organs, ex pecting that they will act in like manner with regard to it; but for carrying into execution measures resolved upon, the Central Power will address itself to the Pleni potentiaries, and receive their communications in writing. The Central Power will keep itself constantly informed by these communications with the Plenipoten tiaries, of the wants, the wishes, and the desires of the separate States, so far as they may be compatible with the interests of Germany in general." HUNGARY. Letters from Pesth of the sth instant announce that the deputation of one hundred Hungarian re presentatives who proceeded to Vienna to have an interview with the Emperor had returned that day, announcing that the Emperor had refused to receive them. The greatest agitation prevailed at Pesth. A committee had been appointed to prepare two manifestoes—one to be addressed to the nations of Europe, and:the otherito u the inhabitants of Hungary. Commissaries were to be dispatched into the provinces by the Diet. It was likewise intended to appoint a committee to negotiate with the Croatians, and to make to them all reasonable concessions. In the meantime the war continued between the Hungarians and the Croatians with various success. In the last engage ment the Croatians had been defeated. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. The Paris National publishes iletterfrom.B—uclia rost of the 24th ult., stating that a Constituent As sembly was to meet in that city on the 15th Sep tember. It was to be elected by universal suffrage, and to consist of 250 members. Turkey was, it ap pears, ready to consent to the union of Moldavia and Wallachia into an independent kingdom, with a view to raise a barrier against the encroachments of Rus sian Panslavism, but the Sultan did not find himself sufficiently supported by England and France. Soleyman Pacha had recognised the Pro visional Government elected a third time by the people of Bucharest. He only required, in order to propitiate Russia, that the number of its members be reduced from five to three, and that it should as sume the name of " princely lieutenancy." Those changes being once effected, he addressed a circular to the Consuls of the Foreign Powers, inviting them to open official relations with the Provisional Go vernment, which he undertook to defend against the attempts of the reactionists, by placing the Turkish army, if necessary, at its disposal. PIEDMONT. The National Savoisien of the 11th again repeats the rumour that the Sardinian Chambers are to be prorogued to the 16th of October. The troubles of Genoa, it is said, have been the cause of the suspen sion of the measure. It also speaks of a confede ration said to be concluded between the Italian powers, namely, Sardinia, Tuscany, Rome, and Naples, the latter on the condition that the Duke of Genoa do riot accept the crown; of Sicily, and that all the powers should offer their mediation between Sicily and Naples, to induce the former to accept one of the sons of Ferdinand. It appears that the park of artillery belonging to Sardinia, which had been retained by the Austrians at Peschiera is to b 3 given up by them. 1,500 cavalry have arrived at Cremona to escort it back into the Sardinian states. The Genoa papers contain a proclamation dated the 7th, from Major-General Durando. The tone of this document is very conciliatory, and re commends the Genoese not to give themselves up to turbulence and illegality ; the following passage is remarkable :—" The armistice is near expiring ; war is almost inevitable. At any rate we shall have either a really honourable peace, or a new war with the co operation of our powerful neighbours." Letters from Alexandria, in these journals, state that French sol diers were arriving there in parties of from 10 to 15. I \ l "st of thorn had come, as their feuilles de route show, from Chambery, and Geneva, others from the Simplon. Three thousand of them were expected; they belong t o a great variety of corps. announces The Pensiero Italia no o f G enoa, of the 9th, the arrival on that d ay o f the British war steamer Sidon, Captain Anderson, direct from Naples ; it brought no new s Turinp f a r b o The Minister of lrni she S d ici a ly. proclamation to the soldiers of Lo discipline as the Lombardy, them under the same m of on p te i s e e dni t o r n o t oys.

TUSCANY. The Corriere Livornese of the 7th contains an account of the return of the deputation sent to Flo rence by the insurgents. Guerrazzi spoke to the people, praising their energy, and announcing that the Government had promised to forget all the acts that had taken place up to that time, also not to send troops against Leghorn, and to allow the people to choose their own local government. The dissolution and re-organization of the National Guard of Leg horn, and a general amnesty to the soldiers, had also been obtained. Loud applause succeeded these announcements, and Guerrazzi, Petrachi, and Larderel were elected. The people having expressed a desire to be revenged upon the Commissary extra ordinary Cipriani, and upon Lieut. Capellini, Guer razzi exhorted them not to think of revenge, but leave their conduct to be judged by the tribunals. A de cree of the Grand Duke was published, dated the 31st ult., dissolving the National Guard of Leghorn, for the purpose of reorganising it immediately. The town was immediately adorned with banners, tapes try, 34c., and public rejoicings ordered. . 3loLAssEs.—Few sales have been made by private treaty, and sellers are disposed to accept rather lower rates.

Payne held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on view of the body of Samuel Alberry, aged 54, who committed suicide on the evening of Friday last, under somewhat peculiar and painful circumstances. It appeared that the deceased had been for upwards of thirty years it, the employ of Messrs. Russell and Badcock, Scotch and Manchester warehousemen, of No. 13, Friday-street. Mr. Howell, in the employ of Messrs. Russell and Bad cock, stated that about eighteen months ago deceased had a severe attack of erysipelas in the head, since whict, time his mind had occasionally appeared to wander. Latterly, upon several occasions, he had been threatened with his discharge on account of inattention. Ou the day on which he committed suicide, he had been closely questioned by Mr. Russell relative to the payment of the booking of certain parcels with which he had been ' entrusted. Ton minutes after that occurrence deceased went into the cellar and committed suicide by cutting his throat with a knife. Wm. Alberry, the son of tht deceased, stated that his father had been for some months past in a very desponding state, and had lately expressed a fear of losing his situation. He though, that this was sufficient to account for the rash act. Tht jury after some deliberation returned a verdict of " Tem porary insanity.

" Mr. Punch,—There was a Scotch Queen, who, escaping from her castle, threw the k e y s i nto t h e l ake. Oh, that our English Queen, on her escape from St. Stephen' s had thrown the keys into th e River!—Yours, exhausted,' Oh! oh !"—Punch. INDELIBILITY OF HOLY ORDERS.—The following opinion has been given by the Advocate-General, Sir John Dodson, in reference to the case of Mr. Shorn :- 1. I am of opinion that a priest in holy orders of the Church of England, although styling himself a seceder from that Church, and being, in fact, a voluntary seceder therefrom, may be committed to prison for contempt of Court in preaching as a Dissenting Minister, contrary to the lawful monition of the Court. 2. It is quite obvious that neither deposition from holy orders, degradation, or excommunication, can confer on a clergyman a legal right to officiate or preach as a Dissenting minister. 3. I think that if the Bishop were to degrade and depose a clergyman from holy orders, he might be liable to the penalties imposed by the statute 41 George 111. v. lxiii., if he attempted to sit in the Commons House of Parlia ment. 4. lam of opinion that excommunication would not entirely release a clergyman from his priestly cha racter so as to give him the status of a layman.—Doctors' Commons, Aug. 24, 18451. INCENDIARY FIRE.—We have again to record an act of incendiarism, in this instance, in a field ad joining to Kelston Round-hill, the property of Joseph Neeld, Esq., and in the occupation of Mr. Neil, of the Golden Lion, Southgate-street. On Wednesday night, several labourers who bad been employed in an adjoin ing field left their work about eight o'clock, without having seen anything tending to a suspicion that such an act of wanton outrage was intended ; there was no ap pearance of fire, nor was any one seen lurking about the neighbourhood. Immediately adjoining the field were two ricks, one of clover and the other of clover seed, and placed between them was a pile of loose straw. On the following morning, when the hay -cutter went to the ricks, he found that the straw bad been reduced to ashes, and that the fire had communicated with the hedge and had burnt a tree which stood in it, but singu larly enough, had not touched either of the ricks.— Bristol Gazette. THE DISCOTEREX OF GUTTA PERCILA.--The Gutta Pereha tree, or Gutta Tubsn, as it ought more properly to be called—the percha being a spurious article—abounds in the indigenous forests of Singapore, although it is not more thaw tour years since it was dis covered by Europeans. The first notice taken of it ap• pears to have been by Dr. W. Montgomerie, in a letter to the Bengal Medical Board, in the beginning of 1843, wherein he commends the substance as likely to prove useful for some surgical purposes, and supposes it to belong to the fig tribe. In April, 1843, the substance was taken to Europe by Dr. D. Almeida, who presented it to the Royal Society of Arts of London; but it did not at first attract much attention, as the Society simply acknowledged the receipt of the gift. Its use would rather appear to have been found out by the Malay's, who first manufactured some of the gutta percha into whips, and brotight them into the town at Singapore for sale, where they were seen by Europeans.—London Anecdotes. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 16, 1848. their being married at Bury St. Edmund's. I saw both on the day of their marriage, after they were married. I lived in the same house with them, at Joseph Offord's i for some time. Michael king, now here present, is the party. The prisoner is the person who was Jane Hughes. By the prisoner —I cannot say how long the parties lived together at Offord's. I cannot say the parties quarrelled whilst they lived at Offord's. William Smith, 36, Garland-street, deposed as follows :—I know Michael King how present, and also the defendant. I married her sister. Have known the defendant about 14 years. Have heard her talk about her husband that she had, Michael King, an Irishman. I think the first time was about ten or twelve years ago that I had conversation with her. She said then that her husband had left her, and had used her very ill. About three years after wards I had some further talk with her about her husband. It was then I went to work for her mother. She asked me if I had seen anything of old King. I said, " How should I, as I do not know him ? ' She said she bad not heard of him for some time. She wondered where he was. A little time after that defendant and her mother had a little bit of disagreement. Her mother said to her that she had had two letters from King, and that she knew he was alive. The second conversation was on the 11th July, seven years ago last July. I have heard defendant say since that King had used her badly, and forced her to go into the Union-house at Sud bury. I saw a letter directed to Mrs. King, from Michael King, about five years ago. My wife an swered the letter by direction of defendant's mother, and it was directed to Tooley-street, London. I know nothing of whether the defendant knew about the letter. I may have had conversation with her, and I may not. I have subsequently had conversa tions with defendant about King up to February or March last. About a week before Christmas last I went up to London and on my return I told the defendant that King had been pointed out to me by Casey, who was with my brother, and who said, " There, that is King, who married your wife's sister." This was at Greenwich. I said, as he was alive she had better not marry. She replied she knew he was dead and buried at Belfast, and she would marry if she liked. On the Sunday atter last Christmas-day I went to defendant's to tea. John Downs was present. Defendant produced her mar riage " lines' witk her and the said John Downs. She was described in it as Jane King, spinster. I said, " Jane, why you have not got married ?" She said, " Yes, I have ; here are my marriage lines.' " I have since had conversations with defendant about King. I have said, " Mind King do not walk in one of these days, and you find yourself in the wrong." She replied, " Oh, he has been away too long for that." I have heard defendant say that the last time she saw King was at a place called Duxford Plough, between six and seven years ago, and since she told me that it was five years ago. Frederick Fenton, 28, Westgate. road, said—l know defendant and one John Downs, of this town, hardwareman. I was present with defendant and John Downs in London about last Christmas. I went with them to a church called St. James's, when and where they were married in my presence. My wife was with us. This marriage was solemnized the day before Christmas-day, at St. James's Church, in the usual form, and all parties present signed the register. By Mr. SALMON—No secret was made of the mar riage. I returned to town with them after their marriage. I went to town with them on the Thurs day preceding the marriage. They were married by license. I saw the license at church. Henry King, Guildhall-street, deposed—The de fendant is my mother. I know my father. I be lieve the first time I saw my father was last Saturday week, at my grandmother's house, about seven o'clock in the evening. Ido not recollect seeing my father five or six years ago. I am sixteen years old. I cannot say h'w long I have lined at Bury. I have heard my mother say my father was dead several times. This was two or three years ago. I have never had anything from my father. My mother has maintained me, and apprenticed me to Mr. Earl, plas terer, my present master. I have heard my father say that my mother was not his first wife ; that his first wife died in London. The defendant was fully committed for trial, but was immediately admitted to bail.—Bury and Nor. wick Post. During the last week, and what has gone of this, the weather has been most propitious to the ripening, the cutting down, and in-gathering of the crops. In a few places iu this neighbourhood reap ing has been finished, and leading is in a state of great forwardness. What has been got into the stack-yard is in the best condition. The oats and barley are spoken of as being excellent crops, the latter far heavier than was at one time anticipated. The disease has not spread of late among the potatoes. Regents and cups appear quite sound, but late Americans are in every place diseased more or less. Taking all things together, prospects of an abundant supply of food for man and beast are cheering.—Dundee Advertiser. A gentleman in this neighbourhood who has taken up his crop of late potatoes (pink kidneys) found about one eighth part diseased. This was very much better than he had anticipated from the perfectly decayed state of the haulm. He strongly recommends every one to take up their late crops (they cannot improve, but may become very much worse), and to sow the ground with turnips—the white snowball will do well.—Cambridge Advertiser. Since our last, we have had a great alteration in the state of the weather, for while Saturday was through out cloudy, with occasional showers, and while the rain fell nearly continuously and sometimes heavy from about eleven o'clock on Saturday night to about six o'clock on the following evening, Monday and yester day have been throughout fine and bright days. The temperature has, however, even on these last two days been very low for the season of the year. The maximum temperature was on Saturday 62 degs., on Sunday 61 degs., and on Monday 56 degs.—Manchester Guardian. Saturday last was a fine day until nightfal, and a very large quantity of oats and wheat were housed in excel ent condition in this and the adjoining counties. Indeed in South Lancashire and Cheshire, with the exception of some unimportant townships in the hills, the grain har vest may be said to have been completely gathered in. The crop of oats in Cheshire has not been finer for many years, the grain being well fed, weighing heavy, and, when manufactured, producing meal of excellent quality. Sunday was a thoroughly wet day, the rain falling for eighteen hours conntinuously. Yesterday ( Monday), on the contrary, was as fine as the most ardent agricultu rist could desire.—. Manchester Examiner. QLAIGOW.—On Friday and Saturday last the weather was occasionally showery; but as there were at intervals bright sunshine and drying breezes, harvest operations were not interrupted. A good deal of grain in stook has now been exposed for a considerable time; but as the temperature has been low, no harm has yet ensued from sprouting. The weather during the last week, with the exception of Monday and Tuesday, was generally rather unfavourable in this district.—Glasgow Herald. DIIMFRIESSIIIRE.—Th all early situations, stacks be fore long will be the rule and stooks the exception; and, should the present resemble last week in weather, as seems probable from the mercury again mounting, abun dant scope will be furnished for celebrating thankfully harvest home all over the south of Scotland.—Dumfries Courier. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, NORTH BRITISH.—PROPOSED NEGOTIATIONS WITH MR. HUDSON. On Wednesday the half yearly general meeting of the shareholders of the North British Railway was held in Gibb's Royal Hotel, Edinburgh; Eagle Henderson, Esq., the vice-chairman of the company, presided. After the seal had been affixed to the registered list of shareholders, the report by the directors, of which the following is an abstract, was read:— " The revenue account shows a free balance of 24,4481. 12s. lid., from which the directors recommend that a dividend, at the rate of five per cent. per annum for the half-year, be declared and paid on the original and Dalkeith Branch Shares. This will leave a balance of 488 L lid., to be carried to the credit of the cur rent half-year's account. As compared with the cor responding half-year in 1847, the revenue of the by-gone half-year shows an increase of 8,310/. 7s. 6d. This has arisen chiefly on the goods traffic, which, notwithstand ing the depressed state of trade, is continuing steadily to advance. The recent opening of the bridge across the Tyne, and the opening of the bridge across the Tweed, which is about to take place, will doubtless add ma terially to the traffic, both in passengers and goods, by affording the means of transit to and from England without change of carriage. The increase of traffic from this, and from the gradual development of the trade of the line, as well as the reduction which will take place in the cost of working and manage ment, give ample promise of the revenue progressing, so as to improve the future dividends, even when the addi tional capital which has been created comes into opera tion. The completion of the Ha wick Branch has been delayed much longer than the directors anticipated. The sole cause of this has been the difficulty of getting money. The directors have been using every means which they prudently could to overcome this, by enforc ing payment of the arrears due on calls. By their pro ceedings they have reduced the arrears from 131,829/. 55., which was the amount due at July 31st, to 112,1121., which is composed of-1. Arrears on original stock, 2851.; 2. Arrears on half shares, 6,027/. 10s. ; 3. Ar rears on quarter shares, 24,3071. 55.; 4. Arrears on third shares, 81,4921. ss. Total, 112,112/. Were these arrears, and the final call which has been made on the third shares, promptly paid, the whole of the branch would be opened in 1849. In the meanwhile, seventeen additional miles of it (making in all twenty miles) have been opened, and it is satisfactory to have to report, that, so far as it has gone, the traffic has equalled the expectations of the directors. The completion of the works, however, will depend entirely on the promptitude with which the calls are paid, and as there is a large sum which is already expended, which must lie nearly dor mant until the line is fully opened, the directors earnestly urge on the shareholders not to delay the payment. Had the completed portion of the Hawick branch been opened as soon as the directors at one time hoped it would have been, they could have proposed a specific plan for put ting the holders of the third shares, on which no interest is at present paid, on a somewhat more equal footing with the other shares than they have heretofore. been. They have not, however, had sufficient experience of the working of that part of the line to enable them to do more than suggest, that the free revenue from it for the current half-year should be divided among those holders of third shares who shall have paid their calls. This will not do injustice to the holders of half shares, as they will continue to receive their interest until the branch is completed, and it will, in the only practicable manner, relieve the holders of third shares to a certain extent from the hardship under which they have laboured, in not having yet got any interest or dividend on the sums paid by them. The other branches are being pro ceeded with as fast as the funds at the directors' disposal will allow. The Tranent branch is all but finished, and the greater part of the Dunse branch will be opened within three months. The Kelso and North Berwick branches are not in so forward a state, although they are also well advanced. They will be pushed on as soon as the directors are put in possession of funds for the purpose. The Bill which was applied for last ses sion, by authority of the shareholders, for the enlarge ment of the Edinburgh station and the improvement of the branches to Leith and the town of Dalkeith, was lost on the second reading (without the merits having been gone into), in consequence of the oppositionof the magistrates of Edinburgh, and one landowner. The directors regret this, as they consider both objects to be of the utmost importance. In particular, the trade with Leith is in creasing so much since the partial opening of the Hawick Branch, that it will be next to impossible to work it on the existing Horse Branch, except at very great incon venience, delay, and cost to the company, and to the public. The directors, therefore, recommend that they be authorised to renew the application to Parliament for an Act to carry out the same objects as those contem plated in the Bill which was rejected last session. The other Act for which they applied, to enable them to raise an additional capital of 600,0001., for completing the works was passed. And, in conformity with the instructions of the shareholders, the directors in tend at the firstfavourable opportunity to issue the shares authorised to be created under it, proportionally to such of the holders of the Carlisle extension scrip, as shall claim them, within a time to be specified by the di rectors—credit for the deposit of 12s. 6d. per share, which was paid on that scrip, being to be given to the parties who shall so take the shares. Should any of the shares not be taken up by those parties within the spe cified time, such shares will then be issued as may be di rected by the company ; and those holders of the Car- lisle extension scrip, who do not exchange it for new shares, will receive back the deposit paid on it, minus the expenses incurred in regard to the bills which were presented for authority to make that line. The sum to be repaid would be about 4s. 6d. per share. The new stock, when paid up, will take dividend along with the other stocks on the line and branches being completed. The directors had intended to have proposed, at this time, that the different classes of shares should have been at once converted into 251. stock. Such a measure, while it would have simplified the books and saved ex pense, would also have been convenient to the sharehol ders. They are obliged, however, to postpone this, in consequence of the calls not having been all paid, and of the works not having been completed. They will bring it forward as soon as they are in a position to do so with effect. The only special business before the meet ing will be a motion by Mr. Blackadder, That no sys tematic and predetermined work be done on the railway on the Lord's day.' " The CHAIRMAN, in rising to move the adoption of the report, said he would not occupy their time by calling attention to the depressed state of commercial enterprise throughout the country, and its effect upon railway en terprize in general, but would proceed at once to refer to the progress of the line during the last half-year. A comparison of the revenue derived from passengers showed that, during the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1847, the amount realised was 28,3211., while for the corresponding half-year of 1848, the amount was 30,0572, being an, increase of upwards of 1,7001. The number of passengers conveyed during the same period in 1847 amounted to 56,716 ; while in 1848 the number amounted to 531,887 ; being a decrease of 35,82 t. Not withstanding that large decrease in the number of pas sengers, they would observe that there had been an in crease of revenue. The directors had increased the charges in July, but they did not take much credit for that being the cause of the increase of the revenue. He might mention that there had also been a decrease of about 4001. on the revenue derived from the conveyance of horses and carriages, which showed the want of communication by bridges over the Tweed and the Tyne. This proved distinctly that they had lost a great deal of through traffic from that want of communication, causing, as it did, travellers to change twice on their way to the sonth. They were aware, however, that this would soon be obviated by the completion of the temporary bridges. With regard to the revenue from goods he was glad to say that it showed a similar result. For the half-year ending the 31st July, 1847, it amounted to 14,3091., while for the corresponding half-year of 1848 it amounted to 20,80e1., being an in crease of 6,499/. He need not, however, detain them by going through the gross revenue. In looking over the report he supposed they would fancy that the working expenses had been rather great; but they were aware that on new lines it was difficult to bring things down to the lowest possible minimum. He anticipated, how ever, that these expenses would, by-and -bye, be very much reduced. They would perceive in the accounts an item for waggons amounting to 1,700/. This was a pretty heavy charge, but it was one which he did not think was likely to occur again, caused as it was by the altering the springs and making the waggons suitable ter the English traffic across the bridges. He might also state that they expected, by the opening of the bridges at Berwick and Newcastle, to be able to make a large reduction is the price of coke, namely, from 18s. 4d. to 14s. 3d. per ton, thereby making a difference of 2,500/. in the yearly expenditure for coal. They likewise expected to make a large saving by making the Berwick station a road station. With regard to calls, as stated in the report, there were some of them that ought to have been paid up long before this. Measures had been taken by the directors to expedite the payment of these arrears as quickly as possible; and a special meet ing would be called, if these were not paid up, for having the shares confiscated. Some of them might think that the calls had been rather heavy. He could assure them that the directors felt this as strongly as they did themselves ; but on locking at the accounts they would see the absolute necessity which ex isted for relieving the directors of the large sum for which they had become individually responsible. Apart from this, however, the money was absolutely required for completing the works now in progress. They were aware t h at t h e y h a d o nly about one-half the amount of mileage in operation for which they had ob tained powers when the last accounts were made up. The ether day they had opened 17 additional miles, and he had the satisfaction of saying, that since these 17 miles of the Hawick line had been opened, the traffic was exceedingly promising, and he was confident that it would turn out to be a most advantageous line. From the large quantity of coal at Bowsbunk they had yet derived no benefit, on account of the unfortunate tunnel at that place; but they expected by Christmas to reach St. Boswell's, and to get into the heart of that rich country. With regard to the branches he would not say much. As respected the branch to North Berwick, some of their shareholders had not a very favourable opinion of it, and he himself did not consider it a very good one. He be lieved that they would not derive much benefit from it at first. It would make a very good summer branch, but not a good winter one, and they mu s t j ust, therefore, put th good and the bad together. In reference to the Dunse branch, which he considered every important one, he i cipated that in four months they would be enabled' an to open y nearly to that town. With respect to the Car lisle extension, h e i nten d ed to move a resolution upon which the shareh o ld ers would give their opinion. The last thing whi c h h e had to mention ws a subject about which ther e h a d b een a good deal of talk. Ibj t had refe rence to a gentleman, well known in the railway world, Mr. Hudson, coming forward to make an offer for the North British line. Till this morning the directors were not aware that any communication would be made on THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) DOWNING-STREET, SEPT. 15, 1848.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week ending September 12, 1848, is 235. 4 1 4 d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Sept. 15.) SUGAR.— To-day a further depression took place in quotations of both Colonial and Foreign Sugar, as large parcels were pressed for sale. In West India a good business was concluded, but at low and irregular rates, and refiners were again the chief operators. The quantity sold was 650 hogsheads, &c. At auction 4 hogsheads, 71 tierces, and 70 barrels of St. Vincent's crystallized went at low rates; yellow at 36s to 40s, good 42s to 445, and low brown 32s to 33s per cwt. The total quantity of Sugar sold for the week is 2,760 hhds, Sze.; the decline in prices during that time amounts to is per cwt, and the market closes with a quiet ap pearance. REFINED.—To day there was much dulness in the home trade refined market, and prices are further de pressed, standard lumps selling at 50s, and brown gro cery 49s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is much wanted, but quotations do not advance. MAIIIIITIUS.—This afternoon the demand was not more active for Mauritius Sugar, and 2,154 bags at auction went to 6d cheaper, b u t near ly t h e w h o l e so ld—fi ne b rown 3 y 3 e110 0 w 3 3 3 4 8 3 6 t d 0 , 3 g is good middlingdd32s 6 d 3 low 258 s to 3 sto2s9s 6d, s6d , goodordinary3 Gs and syru py druemPYan2td9es,r to t o 3 , 7 5, fine grey 37s to 37s 6d, washed 29s to 37s 6d, .:EAST INDIA.—Th• 365 . 428 Gd to 43 8 11'6(7, b afternoon cases ,2 B 0 e b n a g g a s l atSugar auctionm et wentwit with and washed 38s to Y 43 9 1 ,8 and 62 upon lower l m fi o n u e n whitewhite w B e 3 n s a s r e t o s good 40s to 40s 6d, low 38s, damp 35s Gd, low was taken i n a m p t i e d 3 r d 3 298 to 308.

CARNARVON, TUESDAY.—The second annual meeting of the Cambrian Archeological Association was com menced in this town this morning, and will continuo during the week, closing on Friday evening. The meet ing is held under the patronage of the Marquis of Northampton. The President of the Association is Sir Stephen Richard Glynne, Bart., F.S.A., Lord-Lieutenant of Flintshire, and the lists of vice. presidents, members of the committee, and local and district secretaries, in clude the names of most of the nobility and persons of eminence in the principality. Two excursions were made this morning by the visitors and gentlemen interested in the antiquities which abound in the vicinity. The first was into the Island of Angle sey, visiting the church at the village of Newborough, the church at Llangadwaladr, and the one at Aberffraw, the celebrated Cromlech at Henblas, and several other objects of interest. The excursion extended to a distance of 22 miles. The second excursion took the company through some of the most romantic and beautiful of the WelchsFenery. The route lay through the pass of Llanberis, visiting the ancient towner at Dolbadarn, and Llanberis church; thence through the fertile vale of Gwynant to Beddge lert, the magnificent mountain pass of Aberglaslyn, the Roman-road, Castell Cidwm, &c., and back, through Bettws, to Carnarvon. This trip was over thirty-five miles of ground. The large and commodious room of the National School had been appropriated for the ex hibi t i on of the drawings, objects of antiquity, &c., of which there was a great number. The drawings were ranged with great taste, and the various articles of antiquarian interest were placed on tables in the centre of the room. This evening the following papers will be read:— "On Druidic Stories," by the Rev. John Williams of Nerquis; " On the Cromlech," by the Rev. John Jones, of Llanllyferi ; " O n C antrel y gwaelad, " by the Rev. ' Griffith Williams, of Llangollen ; and " On the Archi tectural Features of Bangor Cathedral," by the R ev . H. Longueville Janes, M.A. , o f Beaumaris. ACT.—The following act of malicious and wanton mischief occurred on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on Tuesday :—The engine•driver of the 5 30 P.M. train from Edinburgh on that afternoon, on passing Bonny-Muir, near Castlecarry station, observed upon the up•line of rails a large stone. When he ar rived at Castlecarry, he informed the station master of the fact, and the latter immediately proceeded to the place and found the stone upon the rails. About seven yards further on he found two iron railway chairs also on the rails. Had any train come up before these ob structions were removed, the consequences might have been most dreadful. The facts have been reported to the procurator-fiscal at Falkirk, and a reward of 501. offered for the apprehension of the offender or offenders.—Gtas gow Chronicle.

It would be in the recollection of i" shareholders that two offers had already been made fro" the same quarter. The first offer, which was brought before the shareholders in a fair and open waY, wao unanimously refused. The other offer, made three or four days afterwards, was one which the directors thought it necessary to call the shareholders together for their opinion on ; and of course refused. Had the directoro foreseen then what bad„ taken place since in railiesi matters, that t ffer would not have been rn' jected ; but people were sometimes penny will and pounds foolish.—(A laugh.) All he would oil was, that the directors would not lose any opportunii/ to encourage any lease of the line either by Mr. Hud son or any other party, so as it would secure an advan tageous return for the capital of the company.—(Hea r ' hear.) With these remarks he would conclude by ronr: ing the adoption of th e re p ort; i n agree i ng to w hir' motion the shareholders would pledge themselves to 1 10- thing but a general approval, as he intended subse quently to propose a series of resolutions relative to the special matters contained in the report. Mr. M'INTYRE complained of the manner in which the accounts were made up. He urged the suspension of the North Berwick branch; intimated his determion . tion to protest against going to Parliament for the Pla posed branch to Leith, and concluded by saying tha t ' from a careful inspection of the account; he had non e to the opinion that they were not in circumstances t° pay a dividend. He would, therefore, move as on amendment, that no dividend be declared till next half' year. As no person was found to second Mr. APlntyre'e amendment, it fell to the ground. Mr. WiLsosf, Hawick, said, as he understood, there was a probability of some offer being wade cn the part of the York, Newceetle, and Berwick Company, b e thought they should hear what it was before they Pre seeded further. The CHAIRMAN said be would state, as distinctly he could, what had taken place. At half-past eleve° that forenoon, half an hour before the meeting alio° . bled, several gentlemen waited on the board of dirge' tors, stating that they r e p resen t e d an i n fl uent i a l b o dy e' English proprietors, and mentioning that they were anxious that au arrang emen t s h ou ld ta k e p l ace, t h e ob ject of which should be to get the line leased or sold to Mr. Hudson. They mentioned that it was their tion, at this meeting, to move that a committee of I" e shareholders, conjoined with a committee of the direr' tors, should be appointed for the purpose of Wi rt ': clueing this matter to Mr. Hudson. The &rooter and these gentlemen parted, as he thought, on a very trifling matter. As he understood it to be oolf due to a body of gentlemen who had so long take° charge of the affairs of the company, and had r e! : their responsibility for suc h l arge sums of money, t hat they should be trusted in a ma t ter o f th i s kind, he s tated to the deputation that th e di rec t ors could not agr e° to have a committee of prop r i e t ors con j o i ne d with them' The directors, however, pl e d ge d th emse l ves to apeola forthwith a committ ee o f t h e i r own num b er, to o pen a communication with Mr. Hudson or any other gentl e :, man. The deputation, in re ply to t hi s, sa i d that „,111,e,a1 would nominate the co mm i ttee f rom the board. "-I°`" also he could not consent to, and ho hoped that they would not disturb the unanimity by making sloY su c e proposal. He could as s u re th em t h at noth i ng wou ld g il_ him and his colleagues g reater sat i s f act i on than to e nter into such an arragement, either with Mr. Hudson or orlf other party, as would be for the advantage of the Nort h British shareholders. Mr. WILSON, of Hawick, here rose, and at gr eaV length review e d th e a ff a i rs o f t h e company. If, said uei they looked to the line when completed, what did. itshow b It showed that, supposing the branches to Tranent, Nat Berwick, Jedburgh, and Selkirk completed; and NIP; posing that they yielded a revenue equal to the pres e , a , line, they would on ly h ave fi ve per cent. to give to 1. holders of deb e nt ures , w hil e t h ey would have bout ab o°l he ll 24 per cent, to di v id e among t h e s h areholders , lie t referred to a conversation whch he had h a d. with •E' afi r' Hudson, in the cours e o f w hi c h t h at gentleman had 1 °: dicat, d an opinion that he would give the shareholde r, of the North Briti s h one T ur k and Newcastle share two North British shares.—(A laugh.) He (Mr. Wilse l/) expected that they w ou ld l aug h at that annorthe*Eo e° ; but it was only fair t o come to the point, aid tberel ,. °' ,t: t he would ask them wou ld t h ey take that?--(Cr i es No, no.") Mr. ALLEIEWSON asked if Mr. Wilson was author ise(' to make that offer? Id t Mr. WILSON sa id no; b ut that Mr. Hudson had .° him that he bad gone over the figures of the lines, that this was th e resu l t to which he had ceeae^ Voice—" Mr. H u d son cou ld only be joking.") lie 11-., 0 not joking. A man never j oked when he talke d °n business matters. Mr. Hudson was an honest and as honourable man. I n t h e course of the conversaition r, Hudson went into this calculation. My line, w hen t he bridges are open and all paid for, will come sosnewni about 24,000/. a mile; and I am taking at preset It ~ ,L72,„ 5,3001. per week of tra ffi c. The North British 111 1 r f will cost nearly 30,0001 . per mile, while you ;are °if taking about 3,000/. per week. If these cakes 'ions d u , Mr. Hudson were correct, and Helm,' allowance was 0 1% for working expen ses , t h ey would see that Mr. 0 had actually made them an offer a great deal beeper toe their present position showed. Mr. WATSON, of Glasgow, said he never heard a 1331 dolorous speech, and that it was m ore lik e a c h a r out of the " Lamentations of Jeremiah" than al lythin c i else: He did not believe that th e r e was any good ground for drawing such a picture of the undertaking. The CHAIRMAN said he had never seen such a tteseP t : to sacri fi ce the property o f t h e company as hi id bee n made in that room.—(Hear.) Mr. GILL. w, Liverpool, thought that Mr. Wit son bid given anything but a correct representation of tt .e pros" pects of the company. He held, however, ths bt even with the prospect of a 24 per cent dividend, as . 00 ' Wilson had said, it would not be shown to be a 1 isci hv vestment; for, taking into ac coun t th e great incr.! sse i traffic that might be expected to take place wh sO the through communication was completed, and boil, en 0 1 affairs of the country were in a better condition,, be boo good grounds for hoping that there would be avast 11 5 cession to the revenue . H e argued the neces sitY , economy, and recommended that an inquiry sh° ° take pla c e i nto t h e sa l ar i es of the officers of thr , pany. He said that it was out of the question ito g" 1,0001. a year to the secretary, and 1,2001. to t-.13e gineer. lie also complained of the salaries paid to orb officials, after whi c h h e went on to argue that they d id l, not require to b e a t t h e mercy of Mr. Hudson, ine,saloc_, as he was convinced that by entering into an RITA lir ment with the Edinburgh and Glasgow and the Cl", ledonian Companies, th e y wou ld b e able to main tai ; their position, and t o rea li se a good dividend. Mr. IN'Ait son's anxiety to get p ossess i on of the line showed thst; was not such a bad concern. H e then urged the ne ce' city of Scotch rail wa y compan i es protecting themse 1/p, against the practic e w hi c h o b ta i ned of periwig who it. 4 - ; able. to pay for fir s t an d second-class accommode travelling in third-class carriages. This, he said, ti le ' might do, by runn i ng fewer trains with third-ela , carriages. After a good deal of further discussion, the Chairm. sll f I motion was agreed to, in so far as it went to approin 3 • that part of t h e report which recommended that a a l/411, dend of 12 s . 6 d . per share should be paid on the ,1" original shares, and 2s. 6d. on the 51. shares. It was also agreed, on the motion of Mr. ANDES. 014 that the directors should be instructed to appoint a c. 1131 „' mittee. to neg o ti a t e w i t h t h e York, Newcastle, and B wick Company for a lease, or amalgamation with t P North British, and that the cons id erat i on o f t h e re p o t t should be adjourned till Wednesday, the lath Octobe when the result of the negotiation, and the document referred to in it, should be laid before the company and that the further business of this meeting be ad journed till that day.
