A meeting of proprietors in this company was held yesterday afternoon at the Guildhall Coffee-house. Mr. L . EWDEN presided. h e a ll uded to t h e ut t er im possibility of the undertaking ever being carried out with profit to the proprietors, and stated that there were too few inh a bi tants res idi ng b etween t h e two termini to make use of the line if it were constructed. He th en proposed the fo ll ow i ng re solution:—" It having be en f oun d i nexpe di en t t o perse vere in the construction o f t h e N ort h W a l es R a il wa y, and it being advisable to invest the property of the com pany to the best possible advantage consistent with its safety, until the affairs of the company are wound up, and authority having been g i ven to the di rectors to rea lise a higher rate of interest, the proprietors hereby express themselves sati s fi e d w i th the chairman and di rector!, and place every reli ance an d con fid ence i n t h e i r integrity, and likewise in the secur i ty of t h e f un d s ." Mr. BUTT said, he was taken by surprise when he heard that motion . H ow cou l d he express himself satis fied with the investment of the money when he knew not how it was invested?—(Dear, hear.) Mr. lI ERAPATH said, he concurred entirely with the expression of Mr. B u t t , and he would ask again, to whom the money was l ent ? He understood security had whichbee n given had forbee been t bought in the s u h p a p a e t ot the Thames erat e o f By what authority h a d t h e directors taken it out of Haven ls.per s s n h a a r r e e s . , the Joint-Stock Bank, and placed it out among their own relatives and .friends?—(Hear,) T he b ank were allow ing 4 per cent. for it, and he had no hesitation in saying that they would have given 5 per cent. at the time if application had been mad e t o them. He dissented from the resolution, and hoped that the whole of these mat ters would be thoroughly inquired into when they came before the House of Lords. Mr. CHADWFL said he had attended the meeting, hav ing had an invitation to that effect, for the purpose of setting right any misconcepti ons that might have crept into the minds of tlie s h are h o lde rs. Mr. Archer, who was the first prom oter o f t h e li ne, came rtie to strong letters from e bou o r nn g ex h i t o s n om m e very strong lines, calling ry at tention to the very great advantages whi c h t hi s under paswhhioni had connexion under taking would afford. One was from . 11r. O rms b y G ore , and another from Sir George Rene, and they made it appear to him that it would be the high road between the metropolis and Dublin, and, therefore, could not fail to pay. It was said that theChes . ter and Holyh ea d would never succeed, and that the Menai Straits could not be crossed except with great difficulty, and at an eno rmous expense; and it was upon the representation of p art i es of such great respectability that he was induced to join the com pany. He allowed his name to go forth as a party to the scheme, and the names of a number of gentlemen locally interested having been obtained, no difficulty arose in getting the required fund. Having, however, been subsequently convinced that a line from Bangor to Port Incline would never succeed, he endea ;Toured in every possible way to discourage the share. holders proceeding with it. At the m eet i ng i n May last, they carried resolutions for the abandon ment of the undertaking, and at every subsequent meeting those resolutions had been confirmed. A reso lution was passed at the last general meeting sanctioning all the proceedings of the directors with reference to the in vestment of the money, and directing that the money should be returned to the shareholders pro rata, and he main tained they had carried out:the spirit of those resolutions. If the line had been carried out, he was sur e th at not a shilling would have been returned in the shape of a divi dend. In this, as well as in other lines, he had been the means of saving an immense sum of money, which, if expended, would have been entirely u n productive. The best proof that their money had been saved was to be seen in the fact, that if there had not been a vexatious law suit, nearly every shilling would have been returned.—( Hear, hear.) The directors had thought that it would be advisable to lay out the money at the very best interest until they had compulsory power to dissolve the company. Money at call was now every day being lent at 2 per cent. on the Stock Exchange, and, therefore, unless the directors had chosen some other medium, the interest to return would be very small. He had only to say, i n. conc lusion, what a had been done by the directors was en ti re ly under the authority given at various meetings of the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Butt laboured under a mis apprehension in supposing that he was a director. Mr. BUTT thou g ht th e meeting had been called by the directors. The CHAIRMAN said it was no such thing. With regard to the interest on the A and C shares, the directors we re so lampooned upon that matter that they were obliged to adopt the course they did. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution to the effect that the shareholders had seen with regret the course pursued by Lord Monteagle, in summoning their chairman before the House of Peers, to force from him an invidious disclosure of the accounts pending a legal inquiry into the affairs of the company, tending to depreL late the shares, and to produce and prolong litigation. Mr. HENDERSoN, in seconding the resolution, said Mr. Archer. the originator of this company, was highly censurable for the manner in which he had persecuted the Chairman of the company. He seconded the reso lution, not only as a shareholder, but as a member of the general public, and with the permission of the meeting, be would explain the past and present position of the con• cern. Some time ago the directors in violation of the law, but for the advantage of the share holders, lent the funds of the company to the South- Western Company at 3i per cent., the public securities at the time, in which the law said their money should be invested, not offering more than 21. In due course the money was repaid by the South- Western, and then it was advanced to the Richmond Railway Company at 4 per cent. Eventually the money was a second time repaid to the company, and as at that period the public securities and bankers of the country offered a very insignificant in terest for money, the chairman and directors were au thorised to invest in private securities. After that a meeting was called by the chairman to consider the best course to be adopted by the company, and at that meet ing, notwithstanding the opposition of Mr. Archer, Mr. Buckley Hughes, and their friends, the shareholders determined to abandon the undertaking and divide the funds pro rata. Mr. Archer, however, and others, had thrown the matter into Chancery, and now Lord Mon teagle had taken it up, in the hope that he would work it up into a case to support his Railway Account Bill. But he would take the liberty of warning the meeting that Government accounts were not the best managed in the world. They had a proof of this in the Exchequer•bill forgeries, of which, no doubt, Lord Monteagle had a tolerably good remembrance, and as these lawsuits and this intermeddling with their affairs on the part of the House of Peers was keeping them out of their money, he was not sorry that this meeting bad been called to pass these resolutions. Mr. HERAPATII wished to ask Mr. Chadwick whether he had not lent a large amount of the funds of the corn pany upon the security of 500 North of France Shares. --.... Mr.. CHADWICK had no objection - vv hatever to give ;.he meeting all the information he could, but he must protest against being cross-examined in this way. Mr. JENNINGS could r ea ll y see no reas on for Lord Monteagle singling out thi s li tt l e compan y for illustrat ing the abuses of the r a il way system . It was well known that there were a b uses i n a ll co mpanies, and from the highest to th e l owest —f rom the London and North-Western down to the little Thames Haven, they could find instances in all where some violation of the l aw h a d taken place. —(Hear.) He, therefore, proceedings of the House must protest against the of Lords, more particularly as the matter was in Chancery, and that Court afforded the fullest guarantees that the affairs of the company would be sifted to the bottom. It was on that account a waste of time and labour for the House of Lords to investi gate the questions in dispute, and he hoped they would have the good sense to stop their proceedings. Mr. Burr said they had nothing to do with the pro ceedings of the House of Lord s . They had met there to discuss the position of the c ompany, and he thought they ought not to abuse the Peers for exercising their privileges. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAnimem said the next resolution was this:— " That a committee be appointed from this meeting to draw up and cause a petition to be presented to the House of Lords, expressing thelfeelings of this meeting." The resolution haring been seconded, was put and carried unanimously, after which three gentlemen were selected to form the committee. _ •••• WY'S/ NO WWI... • •• A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said he considered Mr. Chadwick was an ill-used man. He h a d b een instrumental in preventing large sums of money being squandered on these worth less schemes, and it was too bad that he should be abused in this way. He could tell them, however, that recently a large and influential meeting was h e ld at t h e London Tav ern t o th an k Mr. Chadwick for the services h e had rend ere d t o th e ra ilway world, aad at th a t meet ing the opinion of his friends was conveyed to him in a very substantial form. The meeting then broke up. possession of the fort of La Briche. M. Huot de. Glares that all the effervescence which had ap peared amongst the men disappeared the moment that it was known that the Government did not intend to turn them suddenly adrift without resource. M. Huot declares that he never received any dispatch ' to give up the fort, and that no officer ever came for ward to take possession of it. All that occurred was the arrival of a colonel, who did not belong to the Garde Mobile, who without troops or any written order, came and made a simple demand to the men to withdraw from the fort. M. Huot declares that the idea of resisting the proper authorities would never have occurred to him, and he protests against the supposition that he endeavoured to produce any agitation amongst his men. Barbes has written to the Reforme a letter, dated the 6th, in which he speaks of the visit of M. B6renger, President of the High Court of Jus tice, to Vincennes, to interrogate the prisoners for the last time. Barbes, not recognising the validity of the jurisdiction, refused to answer. On the point of legal defenders, he declared that he had intended to be assisted by MM. Martin Bernard and Quignot, his companions in confine• ment at St. Michel, but that they were to act only in the quality of advisers on the trial. M. Berenger replied that if Barbes persisted in choosing M. Martin Bernard, the Court would be obliged to assign him an advocate ex officio, since, as M. Martin Bernard is a representative of the people, and not a member of the bar, the Court would find itself disarmed of all disciplinary power against him. Barbes protested against the decision, and he expresses a hope in his letter that M. Boinvil- Hers, who has been appointed his advocate by the Court, will not come to Vincennes, to meet with a refusal in person.' We read in the Corsaire :—" A representative of the Moderate party went a few days ago to the Princess Demidoff, and told her that a plot was being formed against M. Louis Bonaparte, her cousin. According to his account, General Chan gamier and Marshal Bugeaud had entered into an engagement to place the Prince de Joinville on the throne. The representative recommended the Princess to advise the President of the Republic to name Ge neral Bedeau to be Commander-in-Chief of all the forces in the capital. On this being communicated to him, M. Louis Bonaparte sent immediately for Ge neral Changarnier, and told him the whole story, and the General was the first to laugh at the rumour." SPAIN.

Diffidence, or a ,ease et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em sitterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un :omprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, ma broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldfonn as item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little dEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. lath (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining ;hem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but sr the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom ;hey are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, oy post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely ,isinphlets, but equal in quantity a 'library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob 4ervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unte—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always m the " sunny side of the way."

This revision is to bear principally on the two following points :—The institution of two Chambers, and power to re-elect the President of the Republic. It appears that, in this case, the Government will set aside the clause of the Constitution which declares that the Con stitution cannot be revised until three years after its promulgation."

That mail was attacked and plundered oy a Carlist band, beyond Vittoria, where the remnants of the carriage were found dispersed on the road.

Captain Bartholomew J. Sullivan has obtained per mission of the Admiralty to settle at the Falkland Islands, and has proceeded thither with his family from Falmouth, in the Australia, Harrison. He has taken with him farm stock and other requisites suitable for comfort and convenience as a settler. He has laid before the Government a suggestion for a number of pensioners to be allowed to emigrate to the Falkland Islands. Cap tain Sullivan surveyed the Falkland Islands in the Phi lomel, a few years since, and afterwards proceeded to Monte Video, and bore a prominent share in the Points Obliged° affair in the Parana, but was not fortunate enough to obtain any share of those honours which a more lucky officer, not half so much exposed on that occasion, so profusely received.

Almost the whole of the boiler -makers who are to leave the factory at Woolwich in consequence of a re• duction to the extent of 50 from the number at present employed have forwarded a memorial to the authorities to obtain a passage to Canada, as they are desirous of becoming settlers in North America.

THE LATE CONFESSION OF MURDER AT PORTS. MOUTlL—Before giving any further particulars of the horrible disclosures made by the miserable inmate:of Portsea Island Union. house, on Thursday week last, re lative to the murders perpetrated by her and her accom plice, we will correct one or two errors in that state ment, which we are enabled to do on the best living evi dence. Horrible as were the details we published in The Sun of Monday last, what we are now in posses sion of tends to prove that we understated by one-half the amount of crime. Instead of two murders, there have been. four. And the events, instead of having taken place ten, occurred twenty years ago. The clerk of the person named in the confession disposed of the body of the first child by throwing it down a privy in Gosport (where its remains were since found). The deceased after that became enceinte with twins, which were destroyed by abortion ; and she subsequently was delivered of a male child in the open air at night, which was destroyed by the father and taken away by him in his silk pocket-handkerchief. The witnesses to these details are not, as may have been erroneously imagined, persons of discreditable or loose character and life, but persons moving in an industrious and re spectablee sphere, whose testimony is above taint. have been waiting all the week to see what st ep s th e none county magistracy would take in the matte e r r , b u t we heard have been taken as yet. Yesterday, howev er, articular.; that some investigation was about to Pending that we withhold further p or two.

The merchandise was attached to the passenger train, and was thus the means of keeping the carriages on the line, otherwise more lives might have been lost. Inquests were held on the two bodies, and verdicts of " Accidental death" ware recorded.

MURDER NEAR BRIGHTON. —— - - BRIGHTON, FEE. 9.—Notwithstanding the most Ull. remitting exertions of Mr. Chase and the Brighton po o lice, and the East Sussex constabulary, under Captain Mackay. no clue has yet been obtained of the murderers of Mr. Griffith. Four men were apprehended in Brigh. ton by the local police, who, as a natter of course, had received instructions to look out for man who might be spending money more freely than usual; but in each case a slight investigation was sufficient to induce their discharge. The magistrates of the Brighton bench have held a meeting i❑ conjunction with the police committee of the Brighton Commissioners, relative to the offering of a reward for the discovery of the assassins ; and the re stilt has been the issue of handbills offering a reward of 2001., to be paid by the Commissioners. A description is given of such of the property stolen from his person as it is thought might assist in detecting the murderers. Among the rest was a check on and " crossed to" the London and County Bank, Chichester, drawn by John Bower, and payable to Henry Bowley; a 5/.-note of• the Brighton Union Bank, torn in two and pasted together, No. 1)4, 712, dated June 24, 1848; and a flat gold Ge neva watch, with gold dial, Sgures painted black, se cond hand, with engine -turned back, and part of a cable gold chain attached. Immediately the inquest has terminated, application will be made to the Secretary of State, should the same mystery still hang over the case, to offer a Government reward, accompanied by the usual promise of pardon to any accomplice. This step, however, cannot be taken till the termination of the inquest, lest the verdict of the jury should be thereby prejudiced. As may be imagined, the subject still engrosses con versation among all classes. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, FEB. 6.—The spinners of the various; qualities of 20's to 60's mule twist have raised their quotations in some degree since last Tuesday. The buyers, however, not being prepared to pay any ad vance, have confined their operations within the narrow range of casual bargains, at previous rates. These transactions have been mostly for India, but in part, also for other markets. Water twist, of all counts, is heavy and drooping. Double yarns continue in good request, at full rates. • As regards goods, there has been a disposition to purchase to a moderate extent in shirtings, and other fabrics of light texture, on India account; and various widths and qualities of printing cloths have been in request, both for the home market and for exportation. For such articles the manufac turers have demanded, and, in some instances obtained, rather higher prices ; but they have thus greatly re stricted the amount of business. There is little call for the stouter shirtings; and domestics and long clothes continue fiat and drooping. The present position of the market is exceedingly perplexing. In a large pro portion of yarns, the rise of price from the lowest point is not nearly equal to that in cotton. Under such cir cumstance, and with little stock on hand, while the period for continental business is approaching, spin ners are of course ready to raise prices, the moment there is any appearance of inquiry ; and, in many kinds of goods, the upward tendency is still more apt to show itself, in consequence of a greater absence of stock and fulness of contracts. But as the previous advances have not been fully realised in foreign markets; as the cir cumstances of the European continent impose more than ' ordinary caution upon its dealers and manufacturers; and as, besides, much uncertainty exists in reference to the value of the raw material, the merchants feel that their safety lies in buying little, until commercial affairs assume a more decided character. ROCHDALE, FEE. s.—There is no great change to re port in the flannel market to-day from that of the pre. ceding Monday. The manufacturers are unable to ob tain better prices for their goods, notwithstanding wool being more difficult to buy at former prices. The wool market continues inactive, and the business transacted has been upon a limited scale. HUDDERSFIELD, FED. 6.—The wool sales, which commence on Wednesday, have again had their in fluence on the market, and although the general im pression is that the prices of last sales will be main tained, if not improved, but few are inclined to specu late until the result is known. The fancy manufac turers are exerting all their energies in producing eat. terns for the forthcoming spring trade. 11.tr.nux, Fan. 3.—There has been an improved in, quiry for fancy goods in the Piece Hall to-day, and t► pretty fair quantity changed hands, at the late trifling advance. For plain goods there was not so much de mand. Stocks, both of plain and figured goods, are getting low, and better prices may be expected. The spinners are still full of orders, and yarns are firmer, with a slight tendency upwards. The demand for long wool is steady, and prices are firm. There is a little more doing in short wools, and higher rates are asked. LEEDS, FEB. 6.—Although there was not as much business done at our Cloth Halls to-day as the general aspect of things would lead one to expect, yet there was an avarage attendance of merchants, who might have bought more freely, but for the lowness of stocks in the hands of the makers, and the higher prices asked by most of them. At present, the actual demand for export exceeds that tor the home trade. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

From the bill for 1848, it appears that the mortality in Paisley during that year amounted to 1,630 ; 770 being males, 766 females ; 43 sex not stated, and 78 still-born. The mortality during the years 1845, '46, and '47, was respectively 1,268 1,522, and 2,167. The deaths during 1848 are, therefore, within a fraction of 33 per cent- below the deaths during 1847. Consumption proved the most fatal of all diseases in Paisley, no fewer than 296 having died of that disease during 1845. Ia 1547, the numbers were as high as 386. The deaths from consumption, therefore, formed 19 per cent. of the total mortality in 1848, and 18 per cent. in 1817. The peculiar habits, but especially the nature of the occupation of a large proportion of the inhabitants of Paislry—a manufacturing population confined to the close a i r o f cotton and other m ill s and manufactories—is no doubt the cause of this unusual pro portion of deaths from consumption.—Medical T i m es, .
