IA min. after 6 I Evening .. 42 min. after 6 IIP 111 • a' LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1848. Every additional railway statement that has been published affords the strongest confirmation of the general soundness and stability of these great under takings, and of the absurdity of the panic that so long _ _ prevailed. That which has just been promulgated by the directors of the York and North Midland Company forms no exception to the general rule. It is a clear and convincing document, and must prove in the highest deg:ee satisfactory to the general body of the shareholders. It is not by merely showing the handsome amount of dividend that may reasonably be looked for that it will serve to re-assure the parties interested in the prosperity of the undertaking, but, perhaps, in a still greater degree, by exhibiting, in a clear end unequivocal manner, the real extent of the demands that will be made upon them in order to complete the several works, and bring the whole into good working order. All the machinations of inte • rested parties have never fully succeeded in shaking the public confidence as to the probable income that will be derived from well-selected lines when the same are in full operation. Another ingredient was required to enable them to work their spells ; and they did not fail to avail themselves thereof, by exaggerating to the utmost degree the amount of outlay that would still be required, which they attempted to show was far beyond the power of this country to supply. Timid people were thus in duced to withdraw from undertakings which they had originally selected as permanent investments, fearing that they might be unable to meet the de mands that might be made, and thus com pelled to dispose of their shares at an unpropitious moment, when quotations might be, if possible, more depreciated than they had as yet appeared. The real facts have, however, re moved their fears in every respect. The amount of the expenditure already incurred is set forth ; the works which are still to be completed are specified, and a liberal estimate made as to the amount that will be required f o r th e p ur p ose , an d th e m anner in which that amount will be provided—whether by calls, the creation of new shares, or by the issue of debentures under the borrowing powers --1s fully explained ; so that each shareholder may immediately calculate the sums for which he will be hecan responsible in r es p ec t o f hi s stoc k, and see how far meet the dema n d w ith ou t in convenience or annoyance. Anaccurate knowledge of the real facts, even though the same were of an unfavourable characte r , be far bett er th an th e doubts and uncertainties that previously which mischievous :persons availed existed, an d themselves of to so great an extent. How great, then, must be the advantage when the circumstances disclosed ar favourable than even the most sanguine more ventured to anticipate. From the statement now under notice it app ears , that the share capital of the company on which divi dend is payable out of the revenue derived from the lines, comprising the whole of the consolidated stock, and the East and West Riding shares, on which the full amount is now called up, is 3,147,5001.—0 f this amount, however, 250,0001. will not be entitled to dividend until the next half-year ; the amount of loan at present is 1,023,9311. The amount expended on the lines which have been constructed or purchased up to the present time (including the sums advanced to the Hull and Selby Company, to complete the fifes under lease from them), is 4,290,415/. Bs. 4d. The further sum that will be required for the work iF is intended to complete, will (after deducting the value of the surplus land) amount to 330,0001., making the gross expenditure of the company about 4,620,0001. For this sum the company will hare the exclusive possession of 211 miles of railway (exclu sive of the Hull and Selby lines, under lease), at an average cost of 20,000/. per mile. There is no present intention to construct the other lines for which powers have been obtained. The arrears of calls, together with the amount which the company is empowered to raise on debentures, will be amply sufficient to meet the required expenditure. This announcement must remove a load of anxiety from the minds of the shareholders. They can now retain their shares without fearin g de mands will fresh will be mad e upon their purses. They will receive their dividends without any drawback or diminution , for new works. This great fact will doubtless bring York and North Midland shares into considerable request. The next important point adverted to in the state ment is the future revenue of the company. This is estimated at a gross income of 10,0001. per week, or 520,000/. per annum, of which 137,0001. will be re quired for working expenses ; 67,2811. for interest on debentures (including the amount yet to be pro vided), and 76,5721. for rent of the Hull and Selby, and Bridlington lines, together with the interest on debentures on these lines. After deducting these amounts a net revenue of 240,0001. per annum will remain applicable to dividends, being more than 7i per cent. on the amount of the share capital." It cannot be denied that this is indeed a remunerating dividend. How gladly should capitalists invest their money at such a rate (more than double what can be derived from the public funds at present prices). Many other circumstances are adduced as grounds to warrant the expectation of still more favourable re sults, we must, however, refer our readers to the " statement" itself, which appears in another part of our impression. The National Guards quitted England too soon. They should have remained a little longer; they should have remained to have beheld a spectacle fraught with a deeper significance to them as mem bers of a young Republic than any of the many sights which they witnessed during their sojourn in the metropolis. True, they examined the various public buildings with which London abounds; they availed themselves of our numerous railways to make excursions into the provinces; they were loud in their admiration of the shipping in the Thames, and they quitted London-bridge with a newly-acquired veneration for England, and a con siderably increased conviction of the greatness of the English people. Yet, notwithstanding all this, we could wish they had tarried a little longer, in order to have witnessed the great civic festival of Lord Mayor's day. The pageantry of the procession, both by land and water, and the gorgeous banquet-scene in the Guildhall, could not have failed to produce a very vivid impression on a people so keenly alive to effect. But, however much their taste might have been gratified by the beauty of the coup d'ceil, the morale of the scene would have been calculated to pro duce a yet deeper and more beneficial impression. It would have been singularly interesting, and singularly appropriate, that the members of a young Republic, proud of their newly-acquired liberty, should witness a ceremony which, like that of Lord Mayor's day, taking place under the aegis of monarchical rule, is as true a commemoration of popular freedom as the planting of a tree of liberty in the Champs Elysees. It would have been well if they, who are too often led away by shadows, should have witnessed this celebration of the substantial rights of Englishmen—for the Lord Mayor's festival, be it remembered, is no empty pageant, it is a token of the civic rights of the English citizen : it is to do honour to a simple citizen that the gorgeous repast is prepared and the great and the noble congregate to gether. Calling all this to mind, we cannot but regret the premature departure of that multitude of French visitors who recently honoured us with their presence. They should have remained to witness Guildhall on Lord Mayor's day, and, having done that, they should have tarried yet a week longer, in order to have wit nessed that same Guildhall last night, when it again re-echoed with "sounds of revelry," and the lamps again shone bright "o'er fair women and brave men." If in the civic festival the Republicans might have imagined they heard re-echoed their own favourite watchword equality, so in the festival of last evening they might have recognised a glo rious illustration of its companion motto, fraternity— that sublime fraternity which links together not the children of one country only, but the members of all nations of the family of humanity. Coupling the two festivals together, they might have felt the same love of liberty which prompting the British citizen to rejoice in the annual com memoration of his hard-won rights, prompts him also to extend the hand of fellowship to assist those who are struggling to obtain a similar blessing. The same spirit of independence which fills the Englishman with exultation when he thinks upon the freedom of his native country, overpowers his heart with sorrow when he considers the mournful slavery of Poland. Much as the English people ha►e sympa thised with the patriotic struggles which have this year taken place in so many nations of Europe, the Revolution of 1848 will to them appear incomplete, and its glory somewhat dim, until Poland be again restored to the family of nations. The day will come ; of that we are as firmly convinced as unhappily we are of its present degradation. In the meantime, therefore, we content ourselves with hope, as far as Poland is concerned, but for the children of Poland something more is required from ourselves. Some substantial evidence of our sympathy is required of us, and for this we .are rejoiced —yea, heartily do we rejoice that it is in our power to con tribute, however ineffectually, to the consolation of those unhappy exiles to whom all the rights of citi zenship and the pleasures of patriotism are denied. Shall we, who are so peculiarly blessed with liberal institutions —we, to whom freedom is as essential as the air we breathe—shall we not sympathise with the hapless refugees from Poland ? The question requires no answer. The hospitable shores of England re ceive alike " the stranger, slave, or savage"—all are equal in our fraternal estimation. Yet, if any guests are peculiarly dear to us, they are the martyrs of liberty and the victims of patriotism. These are the objects of our especial veneration—to these not only our hospitality but our hearty assistance is readily proffered. Our hands are ready to .aid them, our purses, if need be, are at their service. This feeling it is which has given rise to the annual ball in Guildhall for the benefit of the refugees from Poland —this feeling it was which last evening as3embled, under the auspices of the excellent Lord DUDLEY STUART, a vast concourse of rank, and wealth, and beauty, to contribute by their reunion to the assistance of our most honourable guests—the patriots of Poland. These being the sentiments to which the festival of last evening owed its rise, we cannot but wish that those Frenchmen who came over to this country in order to obtain a clearer insight into our character and customs, had remained to witness two festivals which, occurring within a few days of each other in the heart of the metropolis, singularly illustrate our definition of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. The Condition-of-England question is settled; the problem, the solution of which has puzzled all our statesmen and philosophers, is solved, the remedy for our social evils is discovered, and this question has been settled, this problem solved, this remedy disco. vered by a " Country Parson," who, while giving to the world at large the benefit of his discovery, mo destly conceals his name. This remedy our clerical Ealyx bath propounded in a pamphlet of twenty Pages; it is a remedy easy to provide and simple in its operation ; it consists, not in diminishing taxation, not in s ti mulating industry, by enacting free trade in providi ng employment for the labourer, o not even in feeding the hungry, nor i n c l o thi ng t h e naked ; of his attenot e n r_ y ht our s u r r e m " e C d o y u c n o t r n y . Parson" these are all passed as unworthy sists in authoris e d street preaching 1 it in his own words a s th ey appear on the ti Ye l , we give his pamphlet—" Authoris e d S treet Preachint e p -Page of as a Remedy for our Social E v il s ." Yet leirtclnPolatsel:l imagined that our " Country Parson" is a free-trader in preaching. Not he, indeed. As the Birmingham gentleman, who, when the ballot was proposed as a remedy for the intimidation from which he suffered, exclaimed " he was too good a Tory for that," so does our "Country Parson" exclaim he is too good a Church man for that. No, he proposes to give the monopoly of street preaching to twelve of his fellow parsons of the Church of England, who should be " mon of warn affections and real histrionic power," like Sir TOPAS, the curate, a something between a parson and a play actor; this twelve-parson power machine, when once set in motion, is to annihilate " Chartism and infidelity," those beets noirs of every " country par son," for whoever differs upon any single point from " a country parson " of the breed of our author is by the said " parson " at once denounced as a disloyal infidel,— ,‘ Qui meprise Cotin n'Estime point son Rol Et n'a selon Cotin ni Dieu ni loi ni foi." It is, moreover, to render sanitary measures, THE SUN, LONDON, unnecessary, for, says our " Country Parson,"—" if upon these districts malignant cholera should soon again descend, with all its former fatality, of what comparative importance would all the sanitary mea sures now in progress be by the side of the preaching of repentance by such a Jonah as I would describe ?" Of course, our " Country Parson" intends that his " Jonah " should be a gentleman, " not a common, half-educated man, cut down to almost the intellec tual level of his auditory—but a person supe rior in powers as in piety." Now, with all due deference to our " Country Parson," a preacher to produce any effect upon those to whom he addresses himself should be almost on an intellectual level with his auditory ; " a person superior in powers" addressing an uneducated con gregation wculd be to them unintelligible, and those very "superior powers" would render it impossible for him ever to render himself intelligible to his con gregation until he had cut down those "superior powers" to " almost the intellectual level of his audi tory." We have no doubt, however, that these autho rised street preachers would have a large "following" who would constantly accompany them in their peregrinations —we mean the " swell mob,'' to whom these men of " superior powers" would be more valuable than a Chartist meeting or a Lord Mayor's show ; indeed, if street-preaching were once authorised every gang of pickpockets would keep its chaplain. We had at first supposed that this pamphlet had emanated from some comfortable country rector, who, utterly ignorant of the world, could not ima gine it possible that there should be in our good city of London upwards of 30,000 persons who have no shelter save the streets, no food save what they steal or beg—from a man who, comfortable himself, fan cies every one else ought to be contented, and who, like the Bourbon Princess, innocently wonders why, if people are starving from want of bread, they do not eat buns; but, on a careful perusal of the pamphlet, we are inclined to modify our opinion, Our " Country Parson" is not such a simpleton as he pretends to be. His object is to per petrate a gross clerical job for the behoof of CHARLES JAMES, by Divine permission, Lord Bishop of LONDON. These twelve itinerant preacher s are to hare the same salaries as the inspectors of pri sons, from 8001. to 1,0001. a year; they are to be paid by the nation, but appointed by the Bishop of LONDON. Does our " Country Parson" reside in the neighbourhood of Fulham ? THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Bishops, who are members of the Assembly, have declared in favour of General CAYAIGNAC as candidate for the Presidency. The Bishop of ORLEANS has addressed the following circular to all the Archbishops and Bishops of France . - "Paris, I 1 th Nov. 1848. " Monseigneur—You will perhap s be happy to,know the unanimous idea of the bishops and clergy of the National Assembly in the grave circumstances in which the Church of France is placed. After the most mature re flection, it appears to us that the choice of General Ca vaignac as President of the Republic would offer to re ligion a better guarantee, and to the country more calm and stability, than any other candidature. We believe, also, that the clergy ought to join at the approaching elections in making use of their legitimate influence. Accept, monseigneur, the homage of my respectful de votion. "kl J. J. Bishop of ORLEANS." A mot of General CIYAIGNAC is now going the round of the Parisian salons. The General, speaking of the implacable hostility of M. EMILE DE GIEARDIN, said, "He punishes me for having spared him." In the course of the sitting of the National Assem bly on Wednesday, the question of the association of workmen, and of the organization of labour, was raised by a Bill presented by the Minister of Com merce on the subject, of workmen's associations. In bringing forward his proposition— The Minister of Commerce gave some explanations as to the manner in which the funds, placed by the Assembly at the disposal of the Government, had been employed. The sum accorded by the Assembly had been 3,000,000 f. The number of associations presented for examination as fitting recipients of ad vances had been 180, of which number 36 had been accepted, and 144 rejected. A committee and sub committee had carefully examined the various claims put forth, and it was not until after the most careful consideration that each case had been decided. The sums given in Paris had amounted to 560,000 f., and in ,the departments to 867,000 f. The associations formed related to almost every trade of any import ance—printers, hatters, founders, watchmakers, gold smiths, potters, &c. He had now to call on the As sembly to declare, first, that the registration dues on the entry of those various associations should be re mitted altogether; next, that the sums advanced should not pay a higher annual interest than three per cent. The utmost benefit had already been derived from the execution of the Bill of July 5, 1848, and he looked for even more marked results for the future. M. Corbon expressed his satisfaction at the state ment of the Hon. Minister. The articles were then brought forward. Art. 1, declaring that " the registration of all the acts required for the organization of workmen's asso ciations, to which encouragement was to be given by the Assembly, should be registered without paying duty."—Adopted. Art. 2. The loans shall be made at the interest of 3 per cent. at most. The produce of the interest, as well as that of the successive repayments on the capi tal, shall be centralised at the Treasury, where they shall form a distinct account to the profit of the Mi nister of Commerce and Agriculture, who, whilst taking care to conform to the rules of public compta• bility, shall dispose of it to carry on the execution of the Bill of July 5, 1848, in ,favour of associations between workmen and between workmen and their employers. The Committee proposed to draw up this article differently, fixing the rate of interest at 3 per cent. for sums under 25,000 f., and at 5 per cent. for sums above that amount ; also, that the sums which might be reimbursed should at once re-enter into the gene ral fund 3 of the State. It was contendedl;y the supporters of the amend ment that this proposition to lend money to associa tions of workmen, at 3 per cent., was a mere re vival of the national workshop scheme—a first step towards Communism, inasmuch as it put the State in the place of the trader and capitalist, and that its effect would be to crush private enterprize altogether, inasmuch as it would afford to these associations loans of money at 3 per cent., whilst private indivi duals cannot obtain loans under 5 per cent. The amendment was ultimately carried by a majority of 17, the numbers being— For the amendment 296 Against it 279 In the course of the discussion the Baron C. DUPIN declared that he was quite opposed to large workmen's associations. The Court of Cassation has nominated the Judges of the High National Court for the trial :of political offences which may be committed by the President of the Republic, the Ministers, or other State func tionaries.

The club of the Rue de Poitiers has no more right to dictate to the Members of the National Assembly than has the club of Blanqui or of Barb6s.: THREE O'CLOCK.—There was a considerable improve mentl at the B ourse t o -d a y, an d th e f un d s continued PARIS BOURSE—THURSDAY, Nov. 16. s teady throughout the (lay.

Oar intelligence from Berlin is to the evening of the lath. The city was in precisely the same state that it was on the evening of the 12th. The people and the Assembly continue their kassive resistance, and refuse to strike a blow. The decree for disarming the Burgher Guard can only be carried into effect by entering and searching every house in Berlin. The staff and commanders of battalions have resigned, and the rolls of companies have been destroyed, so that it is impossible to ascertain who is or who is not a Burgher Guard. The Assembly continues to sit and to carry out its principle of passive resistance. It receives every day congratulatory addresses, promises of support, and offers of money from every part of Germany. In the sitting of the 12th the following address front the representatives of Mecklenburgh was read:-- 4 , Schwerin, Nov. 11. " The deputies of the two Mecklenburgs have, in this day's sitting, come to a resolution to declare, in the name of the Mecklenburg people, that you have acted well, and that by your conduct you have maintained intact the honour of Germany. They promise, at the same time, all the assistance in their power to the National As sembly of Berlin. The undersigned, members of the general committee of Mecklenburg deputies, are com missioned to communicate this resolution to the Prussian Assembly, and they lose no time in executing thi s man _ date. (Signed) 6' WEGGEN, President. " SPANGENBERG, Secretary. " To the President of the Prussian National Assembly." The reading of this address was received with im mense applause by the House and galleries, and was re echoed in the streets. The reporter then read a list of some forty addresses from clubs, among others from Magdeburg, Stettin, Anklam, &c., and stated that the Head Rural Club (haupt .Rustikalverein) of Silesia had declared that its members would pay no more taxes until the National Assembly had decided upon levying the same. Notwithstanding the state of siege, the Assembly met as usual on the 13th. Several addresses and de putations from the provinces were announced by the President, amidst loud acclamations, amongst others from Breslau, where the corps of Burgher Guard and clubs in general have protested in violent language against the Ministerial measures. The most impor tant proceeding of the day was the report of the Committee relative to the impeachment of Ministers. The conclusion of this report was, that the Chamber not being a legally constituted judicial court, could not take upon itself the trial of the accused, but that it was empowered and entitled to bring acts of accu sation against the Ministry ; and, , this being the case, it moved that an accusation for illegal acts should be drawn up and referred to the Attorney- General, in order that he might take such steps as the law permits. Among other announcements made to the House by the President was, that the towns of Breslau and Liegnitz had sent a donation of 5,000 dollars to de fray the expenses of deputies during the suspension of their allowance from the State. The proceedings were about this time interrupted by the entry of a messenger, announcing that a battalion of infantry occupied the whole Linien-street, and that an officer had arrived with a summons to the meeting to dis perse. To this the Vice-President, who bad taken the chair, replied that he and his colleagues would only yield to the force of bayonets. The Commissary of Police entered the hall of meeting, and summoned the Vice President and members to quit the premises. To this the whole House resolutely replied, " Never, until forced by arms." Upon this two or three officers with a party of soldiers entered, and repeating the summons, re ceived the same answer. Thereupon the officers exclaimed, "We will not use bayonets, but other means ;" and the soldiers advanced, seized the chair upon which M. PLONIES was seated, and carried him as gently as possible into the street, where they de posited him safely. The remaining members upon this rose, and the Vice-President having declared that the dignity of the Chamber could not permit of their remaining to be exposed to further violence, proposed adjourning, after solemnly protesting against this act of violence. The President shortly after this summoned the members to be ready to meet again in the morning in some other place. The deputies, on leaving the place of meeting, were literally carried upon the arms of the people. In the meantime the provinces are up and doing, everywhere the Landstrum is organizing in defence of the Assembly; and in Magdeburgh, Silesia, and the Rhenish Provinc es , th e refusal to pay taxes is general. A deputation from Magdeburgh waited on the KING at Potsdam on Sunday. His Majesty refused to see them.

Accounts from the Hague of the II th state, that 37 new cases of cholera occurred there on that day ; 14 died, 20 recovered. Total number attacked by this disease since its commencement, 525 ; deaths, 275 ; recoveries, 97 ; under treatment, 153. The Handelsblad says, that no patient was received into the cholera hospital either on the 11th or the 12th; nor did any death take place there on those days, and one patient there has recovered. According to the report of the local medical corn. misnioner of Amsterdam, there occurred in that city up to the 10th November, 179 cases of cholera and nine of deaths' ITALY. lihe French Journal de Debats contains the follow ing• important intelligence from Rome : "A letter which we have just received from Rome, &it !d the 6th inbt., brings us very serious news: it tall :s of a movement among the Pontifical troops in gar ris,an in the marches on the Austrian frontier. The red state of affairs is not yet known, but what is certain is that they are such as to call for the immediate de pt of General Zucchi, the Minister of War, for Bologna and Ferrara. From what has transpired, it ap pears that an attack has been made on the frontiers of Forrara, which is still in the power of the Austrians, and there are also reports that the troops are in open re v() It, and that a republic had been proclaimed. These ar's only rumours, but they are of a very alarming na tui.e. Under these circumstances the Ministry have, it is said, decided to hasten the issue of Bons Hypothecaires, which are intended to replace the Bons du Tresor, and will have. like them, a forced circulation, without, how ever, deriving a bonus of Si per cent.

No lives were lost, but the ziteamer is a total wreck. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, and prices had rather an advancing tendency. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which there were 4,500 American, 600 Pernam and Maranham at 4fl to 41.0. ; 150 Egyptian at 54d. to 6d. ; arid 300 Surat at 227 d. to 3d.—The Share Market was rather dull and languid. Prices had a declining tendency, and very little business doing. The most ingenious device played off upon the Cus toms is decidedly that just discovered. A chest of watches is imported, and an apparently undue low value is put upon them. The vigilant revenue officers examine the contents, find one or two gold time-keepers of goodly appearance, and conclude that the intention of the im porter was to defraud her Majesty of a portion of her lawful dues. Accordingly, a seizure is made, and as the punishment of his attempt, the owner of the watches is compelled to accept his own valuation, with a per tentage added by way of demonstrating the liberal policy of the Customs, and the desire not to grasp after so large a profit. At the customary period a public sale of the articles takes place, and not until then is it discovered that the property may be worth about 10 per cent. of the original valuation, the watches having been beautifully got up, and electrotyped by a process which rendered detection, even by experienced parties, extremely difficult. Some one in the trade, however, blessed with a suspicious jealousy of foreign industry, and doubting whether all is gold that glitters, adopts the rough test of the knife, and thus the cheat becomes apparent. There may be one or two worth theeprice originally put upon them, but as to the rest we doubt the Customs will be willing to get quit thereof for a mere song. The " operator' is, no doubt, clear of all pursuit ere this, and we are now led to ask whether there has been any laxity, or rather want of judgment, on the part of the officials. In endeavouring to answer this query, reference must be made to the enormous frauds upon the Customs carried on for a series of years by firms considered to be of as much respectability as they were known to be of wealth. The collusion of some few officials, the laxity of others, and the reflections induced against innocent parties have made the revenue officers very much on the alert, and if in the present instance they have been deceived we must make fair allowance, both on occount of the novelty of the swindle and of the tes timony borne to the extreme finish in the manufacture. Experience must be bought, and the knowledge that the electrotype process has been brought to such perfection may not be useless to the public at large. Letters received this morning from the agricultural districts state that trade is not brisk in the towns on the east coast of England, for example, though there is no particular alteration recently. The approach of winter generally causes a little more activity in anticipation, added to which, writes one party, " the parsons are now getting their tithes and the landlords their rents, while the farmers having fresh stocks of corn to take to market, are enabled to make good their payments, thus causing a little more of the circulating medium to pass, than at other times." The " fag. end "of the Bear account still has its in fluence upon the Consol market, which is supported likewise by the assertion that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer has disposed of nearly all his stock, and that the revenue receipts are going on satisfactorily. As to the former statement nothing can be said for or against it, official data being requisite, nor is the quarter far enough advanced to judge of the revenue. A statement so ridiculous as scarce ,y to merit notice is, that the Chancellor has no employment for the proceeds of the two millions stock, now he has it, when at the same time every one knows that it was chiefly wanted to cover a past deficiency.

We can only account for it upon the presumption that shareholders, in too many in stances, are short of money and suffering from dull trade, or that they formed excessive expectations and are dis appointed.

The total quantity of English Wheat received up to our market this week coastwise has been only 1,310 quarters. By land carriage the receipts have been trifling in the extreme; hence the show of samples here to-day was very small. The finest qualities of both red and white moved off slowly, at Monday's quotalions. All other kinds were a mere drug, and somewhat easier to purchase. The arrivals of foreign Wheat have fallen off, yet they hare proved seasonably good. The want of an inland consumptive demand had a depressing in fluence upon the trade. Although we have no actual decline to notice in prices, large parcels might have been had at Is. per quarter less money. The supply of English Barley was not large, yet it was more than equal to the wants of the buyers. All kinds were very dull of sale at barely stationary prices. Malt was in short supply and heavy inquiry. Late prices were with difficulty obtained for any quality. Oats, Beans, and Peas were very dull. The latter article, owing to the large imports from abroad, was Is per quarter lower. Flour was the turn cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. 1 Oats.

Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with Beasts, nearly two-thirds of which were of very middling quality; nevertheless, the Beef trade was exceedingly heavy, at almost nominal currencies. At least a moiety of the Beasts were driven away unsold. With both English and Foreign•fed Sheep, the pens wero by no means well filled, the total number being only 4,490 head; yet the butchers purchased that description of stock with extreme caution, and where sales took place, rather lower rates were submitted to by the salesmen. The supply of Calves was on the increase, owing to which, the Veal trade was heavy, at a decline of 2d per 8 lbs. In Pigs, very little business was transacted, at our quotations.

As the growers have not forwarded liberally, the sup ply of new Hops on sale to-day was but moderate. The best samples moved off steadily at fully last week's quo tations, but all other kinds commanded very little atten tion. Yearling and old Hops, which may be had at greatly reduced prices, are almost nominal in value. New Hops:—Sussex pockets, 44s to 60s ; Weald of Kent ditto, 48s to 70s ; Mid and East Kent ditto, 56s to 107 s; and Faruhams, 107 s to 112 s per cwt. COLONIAL.

A small cargo of Chesnuts, ex Queen Victorita, from St. Maio, sold at public sale, by Keeling and Hunt, went at a considerable advance upon the price obtained for a previous cargo.

The stock of old is Wool to a small Quantity, and held firmly at 445. per bag. BAIL COURT.--(THIS DAY.) TIIE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF SMITH—IPSWICH AND BURY BT. EDMUND'S RAILWAY COMPANY. Sir FREDERICK THESIGER moved for a rule nit3i, call.. ing upon the prosecutor to show cause why the manda mus issued in this case should trot be . quashed. He moved upon affidavits which rep resented in June last a mandamus was issued agairise.tlie Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Cotapany; requiring; them to execute certain works on their linpAfaisflvvay in the parish of Thurston, in the ceutttylpias7r i kk, in accord ance with the Railway Clauses Coniolidteen Act, but since the mandamus had been received the law- officer of the company had discovered that it commanded the exe cution of works which were in no way rcferre(l to in the affidavits made in support of the issuing of tho writ, and of which the company had never received any nodes whatever. Now, he contended that it was riot compe tent for a party to obtain a mandamus for ceritaiin works and then extend its commands to matters which had never boen brought before the Court, or alluded to in the notice served upon the defendants. Ile had not been able to find any case bearing npon the point, but he ap prehended the writ ought to be quashed upon principle, and as the point was a new one, ho hoped the Court would have no difficulty in granting the rule. But there WAS another ground upon which he relied, which although of a more formal character was not less fatal to the validity of the writ than his previous objection. In July, 1847, an Ae , t was passed amalgamating this company with the Eastern Union Company, and in accordance with the provisions; of that Act the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company ceased to exist in February last. The A.ct provided that on and after the granting of a certificate fur the purpose by the Railway Commissioners, whi,cb was issued in the month just mentioned, the name of the Eastern Union Railway Company should be substituted in place of the names of the two dissolved companiest. and all writs, precepts, and commands were required to be directed to them only in that name. Now this man damus was directed to the Ipswich and Bury St. Ed. • mund's Company at a time when the provisions of thict Act had come into operation. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Then there was no such company. Sir F. THESIGER said there certainly was not, and re - marked that this case was like issuing a mandamus tea a dead person. There was no one to make a return to it; Mr. Justice PATTESON granted the application an d enlarged the time for making the return to the writ •of mandamus. SECONDARIES'.--(THIS DAY.)
