LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. It appears that one of the proprietors of this railway is endeavouring to call the attention of his brother share holders to the proposed lease of a portion of the London and Portsmouth line, extending from Epsom to Leather head, at a rent equal to six per cent. per annum en its cost, and in addition thereto a premium of 20,0001. He is of opini on that the directors of the London and Brighton Company- should be called upon to resign their seats at the board in consequence of entering into this extravagant" arrangement. li e st a t es th at t h e agree ment \v.: th the Direct Portsmouth Company is described by the secretary of the Brighten Company as a truffle arrangement amounting practically to a proposal to give, 3,0001. a year for the four . miles of ra il way between Ep- - .som and Leatherhead, subject, however, to confirmation by the proprietors at the meeting of the company on the 25th jest., when the whole question will be stated to the proprietors.

Yesturdey an adjourned special meeting of the share holdeee. of this railway was held for the purpose of elect ing eigl it new directors. The proceedings were conducted with a. degree of order and promptitude quite surprising, when the violence and uproar of recent meetings are re . ed. There was occasionally a partial recurrence of th est: scenes, but it is to be hoped that the s t age o f anark thy with this company is now over, and that in fu ture the shareholders will assemble together as men of suber And - businese habits should. Mr. Anderson filled the c;!air, and there were a considerable number of Flo prietora present. Mr. Roney, the secretary, having comp ilia with the usual forms for constituting the meet ing, t.h.a Chairman was about to proceed with the busi ness IA the meeting, when a proprietor named Dr. Riley made ex formal request to be heard. This was at once grant eo, but his observations wandered so far from the real (Luestion at issue that ho was called to order by the Chairman, and finally pot down by the meeting. Mr...ROBERT WILCOXON then came forward, and said that :his; object was to nominete eight gentlemen, whose names, he would submit separately, to fill the onerous duties, of directors in the Eastern Counties Railway Comp wty. He regretted that on this point differences of opinion had arisen, which were calculated greatly to dams ge their property; but he hoped that fieally they woulo select men in whose high character and faithful administration of the company's affairs they might have the u :most confidence. lie proposed as the first name in his list of new ditectors, Mr. Thomas Broadbent, of Mane heater.

Green made an ascent from Cardiff in a balloon belonging to Mr. Wadman, of this city, and it is feared the aeronaut has perished. The balloon was discovered early on Tuesday morning by a working man named James Brunr, who, terrified at its appearance, hastened to Mr. Scott, his master, and gave information of what he had seen. Mr. Scott on proceeding to the spot found the balloon three parts filled with gas, and not at all injured. In the car was a pair of boots, a coat, a neck. tie, and four small bags, all of which were wet. The balloon was observed on Monday afternoon at Clevedon, crossing the Severn from the direction of Cardiff, and takinz a course down the Channel, and it is conjectured that Mr. Green, from some cause or other at prey- je t unexplained, was compelled to quit the balloon fe the water, and there is too much reason to fear the' met a watery grave.

O no uo additi o nal particularc—Br Mercury % LIVERPOOL, JULY 13.- - The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise ,ince Tuesday are unworthy of notice. From foreign ports we have received liberal supplies of Indian corn and flour, but maly small of wheat. The exports in the same time, with the exception of 7,521 quarters of Indian corn to Ireland, are quite unimportant. The trade, under the influence of fine weather, has been quiet, though for wheat and flour prices have been well supported. Indian corn was offered at a further de. cline of 6d. per quarter, without leading to much business. In other articles nothing calling for remark has occurred. At this day's market, with a thin attendance of town and country buyers and a continuance of splendid weather, wheat and flour met with a languid demand at about the currency of Tuesday. Oats and oatmeal attracted little attention, but maintained their value. Some inquiry was experienced for barley, beans, and peas at late rates. Indian corn move off slowly at a re duction of 6d. to Is. per quarter, 355. being now the extreme value of prime yellow. EXETER, JULY 13.—Cattle—The approaching fair on Wed.. nesday has had its effect on the cattle market, the number of beasts driven in not amiunting to more than one.dialf the averPge. For the most part, it consisted of fat beef, much of which was of very good quality. For the very best, 93 per score was made; but bullocks of good quality were, in some in stances, offered in vain, at 8s 6d per score. But few cows and calves, and those not of the best quality, were offered, they must be quoted at 71 to 121 each; rough barreners, 4s 6d to 5, 6d per score; good . meaty bullocks, 6,; butchers' calves, 4d to scl per lb ; the supply of sheep and lambs, especially the latter, was enormous, numbering altogether over 1,400 The demand was not brisk, and late rates have been hardly sustained. Prime fat wethers were sold by weight at 5 , 1 per lb; and fat ewes, 4i 1 ; the market was glutted with fat lambs, which sold at about 5i I ; store hogs were from 20s to 256 each, and rearing lambs, 18s; the supply of pigs was scanty. Pork Carcases The supply was again small, about equal to that of last week, but there was nothing of very supe for quality in the market. Princes ranged from 7s 6 , 1 to. 8( 61. .Pannier—Geese, per score. 4s 6d to 5s 6d each ; ducks. 3 , 6 d to 54 per couple ; fowls, 2s 6d to 3s 6d ; roasters, 4s to 5s each . ; leverets, 2s 6d to 3'6d; butter 9d to 10d per lb; eggs, 16 to 18 for Is. Corn Exchange—The market has been very fully at tended today, hut the business transacted has not been large, the millers buying only from hand to mouth, in the.. expectation that should the present beautiful weather continue. they will soon be coal led to buy at lower rates ; 7s per bushel was asked for the best wsrtanted wheat; but we believe most of the business has been done at from 6s 6d to fix 911 for wheat of this description ; foreign wheats were on offer at 43s to 44s for red, and 4 - .os for white; very little doing in English barley. at 3s tid to 3s 9d per bwiliel ; foreign ditto, 26, per quar;er ; English Oats, 2s Gd to 3s per bushel ; foreign, ditto, 21s per quarter ; fine flour, 36s to 3:• , s per sack of ::801b.. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 13.—We have to re port a very steady sugar market, with a fair consumptive de mand, at about former prices ; the buyers appear so far to have had the greater proportion of the Is taken off the duty, but in many cases this has been about divided between the seller and the buyer. In refined we have no alteration to notice. Rum is stilt quite neglected.—Bristol Mercury. BRISTOL, JULY 12.—At to-day's market the supply of Engli,h wheat was tolerably goad, and the demand for it and Foreign slow, at last week's rates. English, 40s to 483 per imperial quarter ; Foreign, white, 50s to 53s per 4801bs; ditto, red, fine qualities, 46s to 48s ; ditto, ordinary qualities, 421 to 44s ; ditto, hard, SBs to 42.. Flour was in moderate request, at unaltered prices t English seconds, 33s to 35s per sack ; American, &c., sweet, 25s to 26s per barrel. For barley there was an extended inquiry, at an advance of 6d to is per quarter: English malting, 27s to 30s per imperial quarter; ditto and Foreign grinding, 22s to 25s per 4001bs. Oats were also the turn dearer, but with little doing in other spring corn; Devon and Welsh sold at 18s to 19s per imperial quarter; Irish, white, 203 to 21s per 3_olbs ; ditto, black, I7s to 18s per im perial quarter; Foreign, none. In beans, English told at 30s to 36s per imperial quarter ; Foreign, 26s to 30s per 480Ibs. LLANRWST JULY 12.—Owing to the farmers being so en gaged with haymaking, there was not a large attendance at the market: to-day, neither was there so much grain pitched on the street as is usual. However, there was a considerable degree f briskness in the trade, the best wheat being as high as 19s, the interior sorts also creeping up in the same ratio. Barley, lOs down to 8s; oats, 5s 6d to 6s per hobbet. Butchers' meat much about the rate last quoted. Fresh butter 9d per lb. New potatoes, of excellent quality, Id per lb, in abundance. MOLD, JULY 11.—The matket to-day was very thinly at tended, and business was slack. Samples of wheat were in demand, but none shown; no alteration in prices offered. Barley 108 per hobbet ; oats as before; potatoes, lolbs for 6d. Derma's, JULY 11.—Although the market was but thinly attended, the demand for ssheat was much brisker, and a slight advancement in price took place. Wheat averaging from 16s 6d to 17s per hobbet; barley and oats as last week. Fresh butter, 8d to 9d ; salt ditto, 7d per lb.

ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOCLWICH, JULY 13.—Prince George of Cam bridge arrived at Woolwich garrison at 11 o'clock A.M. to-day, accompanied by Captain Tay lor, of the Royal Artillery, and of the Queen Dowager's hous-hold. His Royal Highness was received by Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton, C. 8., K.H., Royal Horse Artillery, Brigade-Major Bingham, and Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General of Artillery. Ile immediately proceeded to Wool wich Common, where the troops of Royal Horse Artillery had been previously assembled under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bell, and 20 rounds served out to each gun. The troops walked past, and at trot, and afterwards at full gallop, and formed the latter with gra titer rapidity and precision than they had done at any time this season. The troops then went through the exercises and evulutiens of a field day in an admir able manner, and performed their difficult duties with the greatest ease and correctness, although the ground was very dry and slippery, owing to the state of the weather. At the conclusion of the exercises his Royal Highness proceeded through the north arch of the bar racks to the field battery branch of the ordnance service, and was accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson the commanding officer, over the whole of the stables, entering one dour on the north side and returning - by the south side door through the next stable. Ettty tit the field battery horses, kept in the south barrack square, were also taken out of their stables and arranged in a line in the square, and his Royal Highness minutely in spected every one of them, and subsequently expressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson his approbation of their excellent condition. Ilia Royal Highness, with the ()Moors, then proceeded to the mess-room and partook of refreshments before leaving for town. The fallowing general order has just been issued : " The Master-General has directed the Commandant to express the gratification he experienced at the review on Tuesday, July 3. The excellent marching, soldier-like appearance, and :steadiness of all under arms, with the correct movements in the field, far surpassed the expec tations of the Master-General ; and his perfect appro bation of the whole of the movements of the Horse Artillery, field batteries, and battalions, Sir Thomas Downnaan is desired to say, could not be too strongly expressed. The Commandant has the greater pleasure in circulating this flattering order, being convinced it will tend to the exertion of all parties on a future occasion." CHOLERA Is THE CITY.—The immediate connexion of the spread of this endemic scourge and the fwtid ex halations issuing from the air-holes and gratings of the sewers, has just received melancholy proofs in Yoppin's court, Fleet-street, a narrow, ill-ventilated, and popu lous avenue, bounded by lofty buildings, and en tered by a low archway beneath one of the houses in the main thoroughfare. Midway in this alley is a vent hole, and at each side, near the kerb stone, which bounds a very narrow pavement, are two large open drains. In most directions of the wind, these foci of atmospheric contamination send their malaria to the noses and lungs of the people who form the ceaseless crowd which streams along that populous thoroughfare. The deaths of the dwellers in the immediate neighbourhood, as might be expected, are more readily traceable to this source. A few days since the foreman of Mr. Sabine, card maker, who worked opposite the gully-holes, died of cholera. Typhus, says Mr. Bowie, surgeon, is seldom absent from the place. Lastly, Mr. Groves, fruiterer, who also lived facing them, now lies dead, after an attack of cholera of a few hours duration. It is proper to observe that Mr. Groves, after complaining to the Board at Gwydyr House, which complaint was referred to the City authorities, sent his wife into the country a short time since to recruit her shattered health, which bad been continuously giving way e ver since the opening of the vent-holes abovementioned, yet not the slightest at tention has been paid to the representations of a state of things to which ho has forfeited his life. A person, whilst ploughing a few days ago, in a field ammo a mile s , •uth ut Northalbirton, turneo up a silver coin rat her larger than a shilling, but somewhat thinner, which, on cleaning, proved to be a co i n of King Alfre d,. in a f a ir sate of preaervatme—Berwick Warder. SEREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the office in Moorgate-street, for the purpose of eunsi daring the draught of a Bill now before Parliament; Mr. W f OrmsbyGore, M.P., in the chair. . . The solicitor read the side heads of the Bill, from which it appeared the object was to abandon the construc tion of the two branch lines to Madeley and Coelbrook dale, and to substitute the construction of one line to effect the same object, to reduce the capital of the Stour Valley line from 300,0001. to 190,0571, to confirm the legality of the 19,375 preference shares, bearing interest S per cent. per annum for 10 years and 6 per cent. in perpetuity afterwards, and to remove the present dis tinctions between the A and B shares, so that, after the passing of the Bill, the capital of the company would consist of 104,000 shares of 91. 12s. 3d. each, and a guaranteed stock of 190.0571. guaranteed by the London and North-Western Company. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution to the effect that the Bill be approved, and the directors be authorizAl to prosecute the same in the House of Lords. Mr. BLANDFORD said he was opposed to branch lines in general, and would be glad of some explanation with regard to those mentioned in the Bill. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, stated that their object in • substituting the construction of one line in piece of two ' lines was to save an outlay of 65,000!. The district through which the line passed was thickly studded with iron -works, and the only inconvenience arising from the proposed deviation, by which they would save the 65,0001., was a delay of about five minutes to the passengers. Mr. - BLANDFOISD had no doubt that the directors were prepared to advance reasons in support of the measures proposed in the Bill, and the only question was whether they had adopted the best course. The CHAIRMAN said they were perfectly justified in making the deviation. A long discussion ensued with respect to the pros poets of the undertaking, in the course of which it was stated that 13 miles in length of the line were already open, end that 16i miles remained to be opened. The whole line from Shrewsbury to Wolverhatuptou would be opened by September next, with the exception of the tunnel, which distance would be performed by omnibuses until completed. Me. TEMPLE was sorry to see that their chairman joined the opposition to the Audit Bill, but he (Mr. Temple) was of opinion that, after the exposure of Mr. Hudson and others, the public ought to be protected by the appointment of some public auditor. He thought ' they ought to view wi:h suspicion the assertion of the non-exeediency of a public audit, more particularly looking at the individulas who had taken part in the demonstration. The CHAIRMAN said he had been informed that he had been very strongly attac ked in the Times on the subject of the audit, but as he had not seen the article h e e ntt!d not reply to it Then. He had been in CJMMU nicrition with the principal railway men, who all con curred in thinking that it would be an injustice to inter fere, as the Audit Bill prop owed, with the internal ahri. • ninistration of railway companies; and its operations would be to render directors perfectly useless. Tir - 2 measure also contemplated a large impost on rail..vay companies to pay for the audit, and on those and other grounds he oppesed it. Mr. TEMPLE said, if the article in the 7 - idles was correct, all the arguments as to difficulty were obviated, All, it appears, the Government ask is that a public auditor should be associated with the company's audi tors; and if they investigated the accounts tegether. re such expense as had beets represented would be the result. Mr. CHANCE, a director, was in favour of a good audit. Sir JAMES MALCoLM expressed a similar opinion. ISlr. I3LANDFORD said he believed it was a Govern ment job. Mr. THORNEYCROFT said that wherever Government interfered it would be found injurious. After some further observations the Bill was approved, and a vote of thanks passed to the chairman. The meeting then separated. LEEDS AND THIRSK. Tho opening of this line of railway took place on Monday, the 9th inst., on which day the directors _d shareholders had a trip from Leeds to Th . b_ - k and back. A train started from the joint station, and in street (now occupied by the Londonir Wellington- Company), about half-past eleventos'clocrlkh, two others followed it in about twenty c an e d tf• pro ceeded to Think, whera a m p then returned to Leeds, and lita'iunerefreshment was vided. The passeng ers . On the following day the line arrived in p erfect sa—t- n . v eyance of passengers. Goods was opened for the conveyance commence soon as the arrangements of the traffic will coni matured. company are sufficiently. The distance that will be saved between Leeds and Thirilf is about fourteen miles, and in point of time up wards of an hour will be gained. 'Tradesmen and manufacurers in the rorth will be able to leave New caitlo or any of the neighbouring places in the morni: g and reach Leeds soon after ten o'clock A.M. Tl,ey will thereby be enabled to spend the greater part of the day in businees transactions, &c., and return early the same evening. The like facilities will be afforded to the towns of Bradford, fluddert , fiekl, and the manufacturing dis riets of Ycrk. , ,hiro, Lancashire, &e. This will supply to the inhabitant, of Leads and the neighbourhood the ad. vantage of more expeditiously visiting Lltley, the Ben Ehydding Establishment, and the ancient abbey of Bol ton, and littiTegate. The company intend w vuourage SOCIETY. FOR THE IMPROVE. MENT OF THE CONDITION' •OF THE BOURING CLASSES. . IO i Thursday the aeuual meeting of this society was I held at Willi s ' s Rooms, and was presided over by L or d Ashley. The attendance on the occasion was very small, not numbering more than 100 persons. Lord A SIILEY, in opening the proceedings, expressed his regret that from unaveidahle causes the meeting of the society had been put off to a period of the year when from the heat of the weather a large assemblage could not be c xpected ; but he could assure them the so ciety bad not been negligent of its duties. Arrangements had u en made fcr the erection of two new model lodg ing-houses—one to hold fifty or sixty unmarried women, in Hatton-garden; end the other, the foundations of which had already been laid, capable of accommodating fifty entire families. The last was to be constructed on such a pleat that there would be a distinct dwelling for ee , ch family, which would thereby enjoy all the comforts of derneeiic life, A model of the new building lay on the table hefore him, being the design of Mr. Roberts, the honorary architect of tbe society, a gentleman whose labours he warmly eulogised. The society had still to ! deplore their inability to do an; thing effeettril in rtopect to loan eoeieties and loan funds. On this sub ' =lea he bad to recommend the study of a lecture delivered by Mr. Buller at Nottingham, on the sub ject of deferred annuities. As to the allotment system, it was not ricessary for him to say a word, the experiments made thereon being so complete as to render it unnecessary to demonstrate their useful• m ss. The main matter which the society had to con sider was the present state of the dwellings of the work ing claeses, or what he might call their domiciliary condition. Every day's experience convinced him that this question lay at the root of nine-tenths of the michiet which prevail( d amidst the humbler orders of the people, and formed nine-tenths of the obstacles which obstructed their amelioration. It was to no purpcse that schemes for their improvement were set on foot, or that institutions were founded to elevate their condition, if they were left in those wretched abodes where they now spent the greater portion of their lives. He would state what he had EMI with his own eyes, leaving the meeting to judge what possibility of social improve ment there could be amidst such influence's. He had seen living in a single room, in a cellar, damp, cold, and miserable, thirteen or fourteen persons, and as many as seven in a hod. To what purpose WSS it to invite children from these dens to their national schools and their Borough road and Been- gad Schools, if, after receiving the bless ings of education during the day, they re. turned at night to scenes of such disgusting infamy and distress ? Amongst all the evils that eft:Feted the human body, and made a recipient - for disease, there was none so prejudicial as this system of over-crowding, and as a member of the Board of Health he could state that cholera was principally brought on by this system of cramming people into smell ill ventilated dwellings. The society was not a cha ritable ecc'ety. It professed to set up model build ing's, by which the labouring classes might be enabled to enjoy necessary comforts, and t) prove that this was a profitable investment of capital. Nor had its efil,rts been unsuccessful in this respect, although the example it had set had not been imitated to the extent that its friends could w ish. He had heard that a similar effort Lad been made in Paris on ilebnlf of the working classes, and that the President of ;he French Republic had suLscribed for that purpose 2,000/. In Berlin, also, an attempt of the kind had been eommenced, and in many of the large towns throughout the kingdom the example which the society had set was about to be followed, lie concleed by expressing his confident hope that, under the Divine blessing, the cifsrts of the society would be croaned wiih success in the important objects which it ' had in view. The SECRETARY then read the report,'which entered into a detaiSed statement of the society's operations during the year, and of the progress which it had made. It bore testimony to the beneficial effect produced upon all who had beceme inmates of the model lodging houses, and showed the extent to which the society's ex amVe bad been followed at home and abroad. The Rev. E. BICKEBSTLTII moved that the report bo adopted. Viscount CASTLEREAGH seconded the motion, and in doing so expressed his strong desire to see similar so cieties established in Leland. There was, he said, every anxiety on the part of Irish proprietors to do what they codel to emshorate the condition of the people, but and r the present circumstances of that unfortunate country improvement must necessarily be very slow in its progress. Toe PROVOST of Worcester College, Oxford, moved the second resolution, and in doing so adverted parti cularly to the necessity which existed of improving the cottages of labourers in the country, and by the allot ment system and otherwise of ameliorating their present wretched condition. The resolution was— " That tbe present most defective state of the dwel lings of the labouring classes is one of the chief ob• stacles to their moral ar:d social amelioration; conse quently, that this society is called upon by considera tions affecting not only the health and physical comfort, but also the highest and best interests of those classes, to persevere in its efforts for the improvement of their do miciliary condition, and desire s at the same time to ac knowledge with unfeigned thankfulness to Almighty God the measure of success which has hitherto attended its operations in that department." Dr. SOUTH WOOD SMITH seconded the motion, and in doing so said that he had no conception of the true place which the objects contemplated by the society held amongst those to which the wise and good were bound to dedicate their lives, until he went himself and inspected the condition of the abodes of the labouring classes. He always believed that the state of their resi dences exercised a moral as well as physical and intellec tual influence upon them, but of the extent of that influence he bad no knowledge until he had teen the effects pro• duced by their removal from the dens of filth and misery in which they had previously lived, and placed in habi tations which it was no abuse of the term to call houses. After a re sidence of a few months there was a complete change in their character and appearance—a change which was not confined to their bodily health, but ex tended to their intellectual and moral condition. He illustrated this by several interesting cases. Referring to the Metropolitan Building Association, a kindred society, to the care of which SOO people had been intrusted during the past year, he stated that the average mortality among that number was not more than one half of as hat it was in the metropolis generally; and that out of 500 children, the greater number under the age of five years, when the constitution was most exposed to the influences of bad atmosphere, the mortality bad been eight times less than the average, and, as com pared with four of the most unhealthy dis tricts, ten times less. No case of typhus fever or of cholera had occurred. These facts were most encou raging, because they showed that the society . was moving in the right direction, and that r anTmerorjamlpcoornt M t it i might be to elevate the intellectual and to commence by of the womb ing classes , it was ne cessary relieving them !rem the p h y sical evils which surrouuded - them. ! e lr. NEWDEGATE and Viscount BRACKLET moved and seconded the following resolution, which was agreed tot-- - That this meeting decidedly approves of the efforts made by the society to improve the dwellings of the labouring classes by erecting buildings as models suit able for a town population, and by circulating plans of cottages adapted for country labourers; also of its con tinued exertions to disseminate the advantages of the field garden or allotment system." The proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman. ACCIDENT TO JOHN MAcRENZIE, EEQ., NESS HOUSE.—An accident of a serious nature occurred, we er , ~, r ry to sry, at Beauly, on Thursday night last, to Mr. Hacker zic, Ness Hoes?.
