A DAVIS, Sponge Merchant and Brush Manufacturer, by Special Appointment to her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, their Graces the Dukes of Somerset, Northumberland, Argyle, and Montrose, the Dow ager Duchess of Bedford, and numerous families of distinction, 33, Strand, begs to acquaint the Nobility and Gentry that he has succeeded in constructing a Tooth-brush upon a new prin ciple, which for the preservation of the teeth and gums and du rability, excels any ever yet offered. The fastening is composed of corded silk and India rubber, by which it is impossible for the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only kind that can be warranted from corroding ; persons frequently get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in:town and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges, brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, hone clothing, blankets, lea thers, and every requisite for the use of homes and sables, of the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any other house in England.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial EA well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so cluing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseaso, which arise from certain secret practicei, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere snore applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of you ng persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulm onary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &e., the sole and exc l us i ve origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently titan it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be dir;cteid and very much assisted in investigating and detecti ng t h e too often con cealed practices so often introduced into sc h ools, whereby the r , health and ultimately the lives of his pupil s a re sure to be eom promised, sinless the evil be arrested in p roper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through th e i ntricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard wh ere b y to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his y oung charges, what the real causes of such atta c k may be, and thus' he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature Of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disc. astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM VIE MORNING PAPERS OF Tms DAY. TIMES.-.--Some extensive tables for reducing the value of dollars into sterling, and sterling amounts into dollars, have lately been published by Mr. George Reid. They are principally com prised in three sets, which are classed according to the method employed in quoting the exchange at the various places where the Spanish dollar is the general money of account. The first table is intended to be used when the exchange is quoted in a variable number of (101- lars for every 1001. sterling, and which ranges from $460 to $505. Soon after the last change took place in the relative proportions between gold and silver in the coinage of the United States, in the year 1531, this method of quoting the exchange on London was adopted by some parties in America. Their mode, at • least, was analogous to it, being $4.86% or $4.87 per pound sterling, and would have been far preferable to the present circuitous mode of rendering dollars into sterling at a fictitious par of 4s. lid. per dollar, and then reducing it to its real value by a fluctuating exchange of so much per cent. It never, however, came into general practice, and is now seldom, if ever, used. This table is applicable to the exchange, as it is sometimes quoted in the Mauritius and in Cuba. It has, however, been higher than 1505, which is the limit of the table. The Second table is to be used in all cases where the exchange is quoted in shillings and pence. sterling per dollar, and ranges, from 3s. 10d. to 4s. 4d. This . method is extensively em ployed in drawing bills on London from China, and some other parts of the East Indies. The rate, howevia, has been frequently much above 4s. 4d. per dollar. The third table comprises the quotation of the exchatexe as generally used in the United States —namely, at a premium per cent. upon an as sumed value for the dollar of 4s. 64. sterling. This table ranges from 3 to 131 per - cent. pre ilium, and is the one which will probably lie the most generally required for practical purposes. :t must. be here, however, observed, that so late as 1833 the exchange at New York was at or under par, and that those States' of the Union which have an exclusively paper currency quote higher at times than 1:31 per cent. premmm; This year the dividends on some of the State Stocks have been remitted at about 14 per cent. )renhiulu from Philadelphia, and :at 151 from New Orleans. These may, perhaps, be considered as extreme cases; but I;itii the evidence which exists of the fondness of the American people for paper money it is difficult to say how frequently these violent fluctuations in the exchange may occur from the inevitable consequences of this species of cur rency. The short tables in the appendix will be bind useful in converting the different local currencies of some of the colonies. The arrangement of these tables presents one point which is particularly judicious and deserv .Mg of notice. Instead of forming two consecu tive tables for the conversion of dollars into sterling and sterling into dollars, by any given mode of exchange, the two operations will always be found together wherever the book is opened. Thus, if the exchange is quoted 5 per cent. premium, on searching for that. price in the third table we find sterling reduced to dallars at 51 per cent on the left hand page, and opposite to it, on the right hand, dollars reduced to ster ling at the same exchange, and without any risk of mistaking the column required. The tables are calculated to the nearest 1-10th of 1 cent. in the dollar columns, and to tile nearest 1-10th of Id. in the sterling column. CHRONICLE.—There are very general corn ?laints expressed on account of the delay which occurs in publishing the monthly returns of the circulation of the United Kingdom, after the period has elapsed at which they close, and not ' without seemingly good reason; for we did not see those ending the 13th November last until the Ist December inst., a delay of seventeen lays; surely much more than can be required to ,irepare the accounts transmitted from the prc inces under the expeditious railroad system of eternal communication. In an interval of nearly three weeks, an important change may have taken place in the stock of gold ; and yet this is about the - I'l6Sr recent intbrmation afforded by the present system. Every possible endeavour is used to conceal the truth from the public, mid the returns are kept back accordingly to the last moment. The very reverse of this pracice ought to be adopted. The utmost precision and ex- Actness should be observed in making British merchants acquainted with the state of the bul lion up to the most recent possible period, fir if Whey be misled in that respect, they are likely Eo be deceived in others. It is, in flict, the in terest of the Bank to afford more frequent, exact, and true information regarding their actual position. When it is sound, there can be no good reason to hide or keep it back ; and when it is not, the sooner that the mercantile eommu- PRICE 5d GENERAL. DISTRESS. A NEW WAY OF RAISING THE WIND. (From the Morning Herald.) Last night a . very notable scheme for gulling the work. ing classes, under the pretence of relieving their dis tresses and asserting their rights, was developed at the well-known " assembling " rooms in Theobald's-road. A sche►ne more offensively yet ludicrously characteristic of the present age of humbug has not yet seeltthe light. The most lucid introduction that can possibly be given to the proceedings, is the circular by which the meeting was convened. It is as follows : " General Distr!ss.— The working classes and the pub lic generally are requested to attend a public meeting, to be held on Thursday next, December 2, 1841, at six o'clock in the evening precisely, at the Bloomsbury As sembly-rooms, No. 8, Theobald's-road, IZed Lion-square. to have submitted to them propositions fur their perma nent relief, by the means of a general fund to meet the general distress. This meeting is called by the proprie tor of the Planet, London weekly newspaper, for the purpose of promoting a general fund for the working classes; and as this is the sole object of the meeting, politics of all kinds will be imperatively excluded. Se veral influential public characters will attend and address the meeting. A full report of the meeting will be given in the Planet, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday next." At hall-past seven pu•ecisel/ some 130 persons had as sembled, and after they had frequently manifested their impatience by stamping on the floor and whistling snatches of various popular airs, an elderly gentleman, surrounded by a number of half-foppish half men•about town looking your'' , fellows, and accompanied by that well-known unpaieSunday evening orator, Mr. M'Clon" nell, unceremoniously walked into the chair. The plea was, that he had paid for dm room, and was printer, proprietor, and editor, of the said luminous paper, the Planet. "'What's your name, old fellow ?" inquired one of O'Connor's " fustian-coated" adherents ; " for though you ain't asked our leave to take that 'ere cheer, we may as well know who it is as' persides nverus."—(Cheers.) One of the men-about -town said the elderly gentle man's name was. Bell. - " \Very good," observed FUSTIAN JACKET, " if so be as we don't like him we'll %very soon poll him down. So now go to business, and let's know what it is as we're called here for." The CHAIRMAN hammered upon the table pretty lustily for silence, and took up a bundle of papers, and said that as the speech he was about to make was of great importance to the community at large, and as he was most desirous it should not be improperly sent forth to the world, he had written it out, and would, with the permission of the meeting, read it. He then read a long address upon the distresses of the working classes, and dogmatically laid down his opinions as to the remedy to be applied, con cluding his harangue by informing the meeting that all he had said, and all that everybody else said, would be faithfully and fully reported in the Planet, by " one of the first-rate short-hand writers in the kingdom;" and that when the working classes raised the circulation of that present unknown journal to 7,000 per week, he would give them-1001. per annum—that is, so long as they bought the 7,000 Planets per week. By the time the elderly gentleman had completed his modest and disinterested address, the room was well filled, and from the jocular remarks that had, towards close of it, been generally indulged in, it was evident that Mr. Bell's planetary system would be forthwith annihilated. Mr. Sunday-evening-orator M'CONNELL followed in a long speech, and moved a resolution relative to the exist ing distress of the operative classes. The meeting had now become impatient, and the men about-town said, " Make haste and pass the resolutions." The resolution was, therefore, formally seconded, and the Chairman was about to put it, when Captain ACKERLEY jumped upon the wooden seat that runs round the walls of the building, and called upon his " unshorn and dusty jacketed, but real good, hearty, honest friends, not to be humbugged by any astrologer, though he might have one of the planets at his disposal." A Fustian Jacket—Take the chair, Atcherly, and then we'll Captain ACKERLEY—So I will my boy !—(Cheers.) Fustian Jacket—l moves as Atcherly take the cheer. An Irish Chartist (he had his mortar-shovel in his hand)—And here's me two hands (holding them above his head) to second that same, be the hookey. Captain ACKERLEY—AII you gentlemen who are of opinion that I should take the chair signify the same in the usual way.—Cries of " all." and loud cheers.) Car ried unanimously.—(Loud cheers.) Now then, down with the Planet—let's have no astrology. The !Inlet Chairman—Order, order. Captain ACKERLEY—Chair, chair. Pray, attend to me, Gentlemen. city are made acquainted with the fact, the getter for all concerned. Since the 13th of November, we have reason to believe that the -.- old on hand has increased, for there is generally reflux of gold at this period from the country banks after harvest. Our observations apply with the same force, whether gold be leaving the country or flowing back. In either case it is essential, for the safety oecommercial enterprise, that those engaged in it should have correct and early means of knowledge. At present their information is imperfect, and chiefly drawn kiln the weekly rates of the Foreign Exchanges —all good evidence in so far, but they ought also to be able to compare that test with the true miount of the gold in the Bank coffers. The leitosits and securities should also be given more rrequently, and the latter classified. It is to be hoped that Parliament may see cause to take a leaf out of the Constitution of the Bank of France and.engraft a portion of it on that of the Bank of England. In so far as the public had means of judging, the.policy of the Directors until to-day has been to keep on the screw, arid to allow no alleviation in the pressure for money. The operations of the Government broker have added to that im pression, but to-day the tables are turned, and the. Bank has been taking in stock for the Opening. SUN.-:—There was less business doing in the Funds to day, but this had a favouralAc effect upon prices, owing to the absence of sellers. We shall have a dull time till Christmas, as most of the principal Stocks are closed to public investment, unless for special transfers, pre paratory to the payment of the dividends. For immedi ate transfer Consols realised 89 to 891, and for the open ing 89i to 894. Exchequer Bills were steady at Bs. to los. premium, and India Bonds par to 2s. premium. Bank Stock rallied to 164 and 164 A. India Stock was not dealt in. New Three:and-a-Half per Cents. were 98, 4 to 99k. The re-action in the Foreign Market has already com menced, Spanish Bonds taking the lead, as many parties are disposed :o realise their profits on the late advance. The variation in the Active Spanish Bonds was from 24, 2 ,- to 28k, and Passives were dull at st. The Treasury Bonds were quoted 291.. The South American Stocks gave way a little. Colombian were at 2ua to 201, and Mexican at 25 to 25,i. Chilian was an exception, being at a slight improvement, to 72. Brazilian got up to 3q and 59. French Five per Cent. Routes were worth 115 f 75e., and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. From this moment and till the breaking up of the meeting the proceedings were one scene of the most aw ful confusion. The self-appointed Chairman battered the table with his hammer, his opponent shouted for the proper distribution of " the three million of charities ; the men-about-town shouted ; the supporters of Captain Ackerley whistled through their lingers-ramie howled, others hooted, and boo-booed ; hero 'one screamed, there another "chow-chowed ;" on the platform the satellites of the Planet danced ; on the wooden form the fustian jackets stamped ; on the floor they jumped, as long us lungs and legs could stand it ; all this was Stine inter mission. An entire tribe of Choctaws could not have screamed a more delightful hubbub or danced with a more persevering energy ; and when both sides were fairly worn out, Ackerley's voice was still heard calling for " the three millions !" he appeared t.) be omnipotent in the riot. No exertion seemed to have any effect upon him ; and when he had quite worn out "the three millions," he called for a resolution in favour of "uni versal suffrage," This was carried. Vote by ba/lit followed, and then were append6d the other points of the Charter. It was in vain that the men about-town screamed "No politics !" Ackerley met them with the cry of "No cut:Avg.?" and having spoken very learnedly upon the " system" which they wished to establish, he called for a vote of censure upon the gross attempt which had been made to carry out a private speculation under the pretence of benefiting the poor. This resolution was carried by acclamation. The Planet and its friends, the men-about-town, were fairly beaten, but they determined to have something for their trouble. They put a series of resolutions, in favour of which about half a dozen hands in the body of the meeting were held up. The men-about-town declared the resolutions to be carried. The elderly Chairman was understood to share in the declaration, and, taking up his document, he haStened from the meeting, amidst the jeers and contempt of the unwashed. A general cry then arose for Ackerley to go on the platform and take the chair—a rush towards the platform followed—but the " proprietor" of the rooms reduced the gas to " dark. ness visible;" the rush was immediately directed towards the door, and in a few minutes "the pcople" had dispersed COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public business. STATUE OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, BY CHANTREY r. ANDERTON requested to be informed in what state of progress the statue of the Duke of Wellington, by the late Sir Francis Chantrey, towards which the City of London had subscribed the sum of 5001., at present was? He believed that Sir Peter Laurie, from his connection with the Committee, might be able to give the Court some intelligence upon the subject. Sir PETER LAURIE said, that a short time before Sir Francis Chantrey's death, that eminent artist expressed a wish that he (Sir Peter Laurie) should go to see the model of the horse and of the Duke, so far as had b e en completed. The horse, which was a splendid model, had been since cast in bronze. lie had seen the horse and the model of the head of the Duke, who had been sitting on the day he visited the, sculptor's stndio. The great task had been, therefore completed, and it would be au easy matter to get a sculptor able to do justice to the rest.—(Hear, hear,) Sir Francis had had oue instal ment of 3,0001., and he had shortly before he di e d thought that he was justified in demanding the second instalment of 3,0001. He (Sir Peter Laurie), however, upo doubted the validity of the claim at the moment, a n d i t was in consequence not persisted in. lie should f ee l i t to be his duty to cull together the Committee on the sub ject, but ho considered it the most prudent course tov-aointf until Parliament was sitting , as several Members were upon the Committee. He congratulated i tout• of the the probability that they would at no great distance time see a very splendid memorial rise h the heart metropolis.—(hear, hear.) 52 to 52i.

(Extract from a Private Letter.) ller Majesty's ship Prince Albert, oir the River, Aug. 10, 1841. We called at Madeira, Teneriife, St. Vincent, Sierra Leone, Monrovia, River Sinde, Cape Coast Castle, and Accra. We have had very good health, but have lost three men since we left England by accidents. Thus far we have been tOrtunate•; all arc in good spirits, and anxious to get into the river. which we shall do in a few days. We are now taking coals, Sze., front the Harriet transport ; she then goes on to Fernando Po, and thenc e to India.. The appearance of the country is not here ver y good, being low and swampy, lint after a few days it wtlt improve. Tier Majesty s brig Buzzard is here ; she has been blockading the river for six months, and h as no t lost one man. We have been to the River Shute, which professes to be a civilized American colony, but it is, if anyt hi ng , worse than a native village. Liberia is not all as it should be. As to Cape Coast Castle and Sierra Leone, I like them very well ; I had much rather live in Sierra Leone than in Sydney. The only objec tion that I have to Accra and Cape Coast is, that no horses will live ; they have lived a little while, but not so as to do any good. We hear the natives in the river are not very friendly. The Buzzard's boat went in the other day, and was obliged to return, so most likely we shall have something to do. 1 4;ll.—We are in the river now ; crossed the . bar yes terday ; all well, and in good spirits. I went a little up the river yesterday in the Soudan, but she at last stuck iu the river, where she remained until the tide rose. We v.ll gu up on Monday. TO THE LATF . LORD MAYOR.

IS , IRE seconded the motion, b Ithat and delaro the late Lord Ntayor performed the whole of the duties of the arduous office in a manner that could not be sur passed by the exertions of any of his brethren. _. Mr. ANDEIITON said, that he had :rot hold of a curious list, containing accounts of the funnier of persons who dined at the Mansion House during several of the Mayoralties, and from which it appeared that some Chief Magistrates had many more guests than others. The reading of the list was not satisfactory to the Court, several of whom thought it was by no means fair to in terfere with the manner in which each Lord Mayor might think proper to exhibit his hospitality. i Mr. KING did not think that the number of persons who appeared at the Mansion-house, was an accurate criterion of the good spirit or liberality of a Mayoralty. The Court should look to the number of checks issued for the charities of London.---(Hear, hear.) Mr. STACEY observed that the proper discharge of the important public duties of this Mayoralty was a stronger argument for the thanks of the Corporation than a suc cession of grand entertainments. At all events, the late Lord Mayor had powerful claims in all respects.---(Bear.) The vote was carried unanimously. 11..' m l t-i. ENING SUN.

GItANT vim' THE' FREEDOM (if THE CITY TO THE DUKE 01 CAl's/MUDG,. Mr. A;mr.aTox rose to muvc that the freedom of the City should presented to his Roy a l Highne'ss the Duke of Camb be ridge. in testimony of the deep sense en tertained by the Members in Council, with their fellow citizens, of the exemplary manner in which his Royal Highness performed all the duties of his exalted station, and advocated and promoted the numerous objects of be nevolence throughout the United Kingdom, especially the many public charitable institutions within the City and its vicinity, thereby adding lustre to his high birth and station, and meriting the attachment, re spect, and gratitude of the Citizens of London. The Mover eulogized the character of the Duke, by whom George 111. had declared that his Re) al Highness had never given his father one moment's pain.—(Cheers.) The Duke of Cambridge was as much beloved in Ha nover, where he exercised his authority with re markable mildness and effability, as he was at home. It would give an eclat to the day on which Prince Albert should come into the City to lay the first stone of the City, to have the Duke of Cambridge among the ci tizons.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. Woon, - in seconding the motion, statud that it was a rellection upon the City that his Royal Highness had not been long since presented with the Ireedom. The motion was carried amidst acclamations. It was also carried that the freedom be presented to his Royal Highness, in a gold box of the value of one hundred guineas. Mr. ANDERTON then brought up the Report of the Police Committee, which was agreed to. The following i s a brief summary of the most material parts. The Committee recommend the Court to direct that the number of men to constitute the force for the year 1842 do not exceed 542 ; and that the expenditure be as follows :—Commissioner, 1,000/. ; Superintendent. 2001.; 13 Inspectors, 118/. 6s. each ; 50 Sergeants, 631. 14s. each ; and 479 men at 451. 10s. and 58/. 10s. each.—Total, 29,062/.

The total income was calculated ut 43,351. leaving a balance of 4,320/ to meet conting‘nce. THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. Mr. R. L. Joxns brought up the Report of the Royal Exchange Committee, which stated that Prince Albert having consented to lay the .first stone of the Rival Ex change, preparations were being made for a grand cere mony on the occasion, at which the Members of the Corporation and their ladies would he received.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Jones then informed the Court that the clay appointed for the ceremony wtk.ii the 19th ofJunuury. The Report-was ordered to be entc:ed on the minutes Rnd printed. NORTHERN AND EASTERN RAIL- A special General Meeting of the Shareholders in this Company was held yesterday afternoon, pursuant to ad vertisement, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of empowering the Directors to borrow a sum of money not exceeding the sum of 240,000/. WILLIAM CRAWSHAY, Esq., took the Chair, and (milled upon the Secretary to read the advertisement, together with the clause, in the Act of Parliament, empowering the Company to borrow money. The Act of Parliament stated that the Company could not be in a position to borrow money until the sum of 360,000/. had been paid up by the Shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said this clause of the Act had been complied with, and with the permission of the meeting he would read a motion empowering the Directors to borrow the further sum of 240,0001., which would be proposed and seconded for the adoption of the meeting. He then read a motion to the effect that the Company required the further suns 0f240,0001., and that the meet ing thereby authorises the Directors to raise such sum. Mr. BRADSHAW pro - posed that the resolution read should be adopted. He had no doubt it would receive the sanction of the meeting, as it would relieve them from further calls at present. Mr. howl;, in seconding the motion, begged to ask an explanation from the Chairman with respect to what had fallen from Mr. Bradshaw, when he said that the meeting empowering the DirectorS to rais e thi s stun would relieve the Shareholders from farther calls ? Mr. BnAnsnAw said that.perhaps he was wrong in the expression. The CHAIRMAN said it would relieve the Shareholders from immediate calls, provided they had the debentures in time. Mr. llowE said that, if it would not be irregular, he should like to ask what were the prospects of the Rail way ? The CHAIRMAN could assure theta it would yield a fair remuneration. Mr. Rom.: would ask how the 240,000/. were to be paid, whether it would be by calls upon the shares? The CHAIRMAN said the already paid-up calls would meet that amount. 24r. llowl: asked whether the money now to be raised would be applied to the payment of any debt ? The CHAIRMAN said it would be first applied to the works bet Ween Spelbrooke anti Hartford. In his opinion that would leave money enough without making a further call. A PROPRIETOR asked whether the money would he applieo to eumplete the railway between Brookemoor and Ilart ford The CHAIRMAN said he had no hesitation in *dying that if the 240,000 L were raised, that the, Ware braueh Would be once completed. Mr. VizzAnn inquired how many calls on each share remained unpaid? . • The CHAIRMAN said be could not tell without taking them out. TheSECRETAUY said that 1,200 share s were pail up in full. Mr. VizzAnn said he wished to know how many wore in arrear TheCttantmAN said, if he referred to the last muting to the account of the forfeitures, he would at oncohee the amount. In answer to a question from a Proprietor, The SECRETARY said that there were 9,052 501. shares in the Company at present. Mr. VIZZARD asked it' the calls were all paid up upon those shares? The CHAIRMAN said the actual amount of arrears was only 3,0001., and at the last meeting there were only 3U shares in a state of forfeiture. Mr. RowE wished to ask if the Hartford and Weare branch would be completed with tkia 24,0,000 L, or whether it would be necessary to make a further call on the 15L which were yri remaining on each share? The CHAIRMAN said they expected to require the snm for the line of 720,0001. The ENGINEER said it would require 35,0001. in a4hli tion to go to Ware, and 20,0001. to Hartford, waking in the whole 775,000 L The CIIAIIisIAN said 360,0001. had been raised by calls, 24,0001. they were then borrowing, and they would then require 173,0001., which would be raised by calls on the 15/. per share yet remaining. Mr. VIZZARD inquired how many Shareholders wore liable to contribute to that sum ? The CIIAIitMAN-9,052 504 shares. Mr. RowE said he thought that more money would be required, as they must remember 1,200 full paid-up shares must be deducted, from the 9,052. I : ite jIILIRMAN said they had 25,600 tbrf e i te d s h ares. Mr. liOWk was glad to hHeaer hoped it they wo u ld on t h e it.

In consequence principle was to keep down were doing as wellas s of the high rates the ewehe24 before the railway was started. The CHAIRMAN ' had fallen from the sa i d he perfectly agreed with what tried as an last speaker, but the high rates were all the experiment. It (lid not meet the views of jority. The Directors, but it was, of course, carried by a an - wthe experiment h a d one goo d e ff ec t, 'that of showin g Eastern Company Railway that the more this railway i ' it Wasincreasedto the its traffic the more advantageous the Eastern Company ; and he hoped it d w uulultimately induce them to reduce the toll. A long di scuss i on t h en arose on t h e pro p r i e ty of taking the third class carriages off the line and reducing the fares. The CHAIRMAN said they had reduced the number of third class carriages, as gentlemen were so much in the habit of travelling by them. A PROPRIETOR said they had to consult the interest of the Company befor? the public. • The CHAIRMAN said he should never consider a rail way perfected until they had a dozen or two of sweeps, su that every one who was dressed like a gentleman, and took a third class place, should immediately have u scot_ hag placed next to him.—(llear.) Mr. BitAmiwATE said there were many gentlemen in °thee.; in London, and elsewhere, who were obliged to dress well, but yet sixpence every day was an obj ec t with them. It would half pay many of their rents. The CHAIRMAN said they could travel as cheaply now, as before the railway was opened. A Paorawron said it was no such thing. The omni bus f only from Edmonton and Tottenham was ls., while the railway fare was is. 6d. A Puoent i:Ton said it was a good proof of the p ros. spects of the railway, and the good principle of the Pre sent prices, that so many gentlemen complained about it.
