The Colonial Produce Markets this week have been quiet, but for some of the principal staples a Steady demand has prevailed.

The chair was taken by Mr. Leo Schuster. The meeting having been formally opened, and the first-named bill read in brief, The CHAIRMAN explained that the Brighton Company had entered into an agreement two years since to pay 8,0001. per annum for the use of the West•end and Crystal Palace Company's West-end terminus, and to work the traffic at 42 per cent., on the gross receipts. This bill was to confirm that agreement. Some conversation ensued relative to the West-end terminus of the new company, which, being situated on the Battersea side of the Thames, it was contended would be useless, but it was stated to be within a con ♦enient distance of Belgravia. A motion approving the bill having been unanimously carried, the marginal notes of the second bill were read, and it was stated the cost of the Wimbledon line bad been 45,0001. for five miles and a half, and the Brighton Company bad agreed to pay for the use of it 1,8201. per annum, or at the rate of four per cent, per annum. The South-Western Company were parties to the arrange ment, and would pay half that amount. The bill was agreed to, and a vote of thanks given to the chairman. 91 i 1 .- 2 3 „1 "25= 4di THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, J U 7 N7E 20, 1856. 25 1.00 1,00 100 100 100 PRE FERENI Aberdeen Debeu.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices in Parliament-street, to consider a bill in compliance with the Wharncliffe standing order ; Sir S. M. Peto in the chair. Mr. REED, the secretary, having read the notice con vening the meeting, Mr. TOOGOOD, the solicitor, read the heads of the bill for authorising deviations from the authorised line, ex tending the time for the purchase of land and completion of works ; and making further provision with respect to the share capital to facilitate the completion of the un dertaking. The CHAIRMAN, in moving a formal resolution ap proving of the hill, said that a general meeting of the company would be held next month, and he would then be i❑ a position to make a full statement with regard to their affairs. The resolution was carried unanimously, and the meet ing then separated. THAMES HAVEN. A special meeting of this company was held on Wed nesday, at the London Tavern, to consider a bill now before Parliament ; Mr. J. I). Lowden in the chair. The Secretary having read the advertisement conven ing the meeting, The CLUIRMAN read the marginal notes of the com pany's bill for making a dock and works at Thames Haven and for other purposes, and concluded by mov ing a formal resolution approving the bill. Mr. BENNETT seconded the motion, and it was de clared carried, Mr. Hand and Mr. Roberts dissenting. On an explanation from the CHATRMAN with respect to the Tilbury stock, Mr. Hand withdrew his opposition, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ROYAL DANISH. The report of the directors of this company states that en the 17th of May last the bridges across the Eyder, forming the junction between the Royal Danish and Neu miinster Railways were opened. A most comprehensive system of steam communication has been organised by the North of Europe Steam Navigation Company, by which the greatest facilities are afforded for the conveyance of passengers as well as merchandise, not only from this country to Denmark, but also from Flensburg to the ports in the Baltic. Passengers are booked direct by the Royal Danish Railway from this country to St. Petersburg. Meetings have been held by the represen tatives of all the lines in connection with tke Royal Danish Railway, in order to perfect the system of through booking. The accounts are of a very simple form, as the guaranteed interest at the rate of 6 per cent., from the 25th of October, 1854, to the 25th of April, 1356, has been paid to the shareholders, and, such amount of interest having exceeded the net revenue, the balance has been paid to the company by the lessees, in accordance with the terms of the lease, as shown in the accounts certified by the auditors. The guarantee fund of 100,0001. alluded to in the last report remains in vested in the name of the trustees. The capital account showed that 531,831/. had been received and expended to the 25th of April. The guaranteed interest account to the 25th of April showed that 43,6001. had been re• ceived from revenue and from the lessees, in accordance with the terms of the lease, and paid to the shareholders, and 4,7151. received from the lessees and paid for ma nagement expenses. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. Only a me lerate supply of English wheat, a portion of which was composed of Monday's unsold samples, was on offer in to-day's market.

The demand for floating cargoes of grain on continental account was less active. Barley and malt changed hands steadily at very full prices. Oats were very firm and again rather dearer. Beans and peas moved off steadily at extreme rates. The flour trade was steady, but no change took place in prices. ARRIVALS nits Pram. Wheat. 1 Barley. Malt. i Oats.

The accounts from Almeria report the continuance of disease in the Tines LIMITED LIABILITY BILL. The following protest against this bill has been signed by Lords Overatone and Monteagle : " 1. The measure is wholly unnecessary, inasmuch as every concern has the means of limiting its liability by trading upon its own capital, and not upon the borrowed capital of others. Liability is not necessarily incident to trading or to the application of capital to the pursuits of industry: itis the result of taking credit or trading upon borrowed capital. Limited liability, therefore, is a mea. sure of protection, not to the capitalist great or small, but to the speculator, who wishes to trade for his own profit, but with the capital and at the risk of others. "2. The principle of limited liability is antagonistic to, and will probably prove seriously destructive of, the sober and substantial virtues of the mercantile character. By weakenin g in the mind of the trader the sense of full responsibility for the consequences of all his actions, and limiting the obligation which now rests upon him, to return in full all that he has borrowed from others, the general tone of commercial morality must be deteri orated. By limiting the unfortunate consequences of failure, while no corresponding limitation is placed upon the gains which may attend success, the due equipoise between the restraints and the stimulants to enterprise and speculation, upon which depend the solidity and safety of the commercial system, must be disturbed. By enabling parties to put a fixed limit to the amount of possible loss the chief incentive to caution or vigilance in the conduct of business will be taken away or seriously weakened, while by leaving the hope of gain unrestricted and indefinite a gambling principle will be introduced into commercial transactions, and the risks of trade will assimilate themselves to the chances of the lottery-wheel rather than to what they now are, the legitimate results of hopeful industry and cautious enterprise. " 3. The measure in its present form, unaccompanied by safeguards or any attempt to obviate the clear and acknowledged danger of abuses to which the principle of limited liability must be exposed, is not only in opposi tion to the report of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the subject, but is contradictory to the practice and experience of every country in the world which bas admitted the principle of litaited liability into its commercial code. "In every other country the privilege of limited lia bility is surrounded by restrictions which are intended to guard against the danger—first, of excessive and reck less enterprise, naturally generated by the sense of strict limitation of risk ; and, second, of fraudulent abstrac tion under the form of interest or profits, of that specific and fixed amount of capital which is alone appropriated as the security of the honest creditor. "These restrictions indicate the universal conviction of all other countries that against these sources of abuse it is necessary that some proper safeguard be provided. If it be deemed impossible to render such safeguards efficient and satisfactory, the conclusion necessarily arises that a measure ought not to be persisted in which does not admit of effectual protection against injuitic3 to the honest creditor and injury to the public interests. " 4. The effect of the bill will be to give legal protec tion, and therefore to hold out moral encouragement, to dishonest practices in trade. "Profits in trade consist of interest upon capital, re muneration for labour and skill, and premium of insur ance on risk. In proportion as the risk in any business is great profits are usually high, but of these high profits a large share is by every honest trader set aside as the premium reserved against high risks. An unfortunate tradesman coming before the Bankruptcy Court would not be very leniently dealt with should it appear that, carrying on a very riskful business, he had year by year spent all the great apparent profits, making no reserve out of them to meet the high risks he was incurring. Now, this is the very practice which this bill direotly sanctions, and therefore encourages. " The object of the measure is to enable concerns to limit their liability to a certain fixed sum, which has no reference to the varying magnitude of the risks which they incur, or to the high profits which, through those risks, they are appropriating to themselves, but not re serving for the honest protection of their creditors. " They are, in fact, appropriating and misapplying the premium of insurance, which, under the form of high profits, they year by year receive, and in this immoral course they will have the authority and sanction of the bill. " 5. The tendency of the measure must be to encou rage and promote the transference of capital from trad ing concerns now constituted and conducted with the caution and prudence which the sense of unlimited lia bility necessarily generates to joint-stock companies, trading with small paid-up capitals, and embarking, under the protection of limited liability, upon risks which no person would otherwise venture to encounter. When loss occurs a heavy portion of it will be made to fall upon the unfortunate creditor, who deserves our sym pathy, whille the adventurers, who ought to be the vic tims of their own reckless speculations will remain com paratively safe under the *gni of limited liability. Mean while the sober calculations and legitimate transactions of real trade will give way to a general spirit of specu ation, in hazardous enterprises, and jobbing in shares — a state of things of which the history of 1824 and 1825 affords a practical illustration, and, at the same time, holds out a warning example. " 6. Many very important advantages arise from the high moral character and commercial credit founded upon the full and punctual discharge of all its obligations which this country at present enjoys throughout the world. If the effect of the measure shall be, as is pre dicted by the supporters, to restrict rather than to in crease credit, by filling the community with a mass of concerns notoriously undeserving of public conVence, the consequence must be serious injury to our cemmer cial character abroad, a diminution of the confidence which other countries repose in the engagements of our merchants and trade', an interruption to the ease and freedom with which all our trading intercourse with the world is at present conducted, and, in the end, absolute pecuniary loss to the country. "7. The measure is singularly inappropriate to the present state of this country as regards capital and en terprise. There is abundance of capital in this country. We are the lenders of our surplus capital to every nation of the world. Any sudden demand, any new opening for speculation is at once supplied with inexhaustible funds, while we are subject to the frequent recurrence of periods of undue and dangerous inflation of credit and speculation. When these periods occur the tendency of the measure must be to extend and intensify these by giving facility for the wide-spread introduction of joint-stock companies, reckless in their procedure be cause protected by limited liability, and fillinz the com munity with the in-truments of gambling in the form of shares upon which little or nothing has been paid up. The real want of the country is cempetent and du.y qualified men (in whom confidence is duly blended with caution, and the spirit of mercantile enterprise is regu lated by experience and the sense of respansibility) to wield successfully the vast resources of capital and credit which the country is prepared to place at their command. "The evil to the correction of which the bill is appar ently directed,—namely, insufficient supply of capital to meet the demands of industry and enterprise, does not, in fact exist ; while the real difficulty is one which legis lation cannot effectually remedy. "8. The period chosen for the introduction of this measure is peculiarly unfavourable to the safety of the experiment. After a long-continued heavy drain of the precious metals from this country the reflux has appa rently commenced. A great accumulation of bullion may be reasonably anticipated. Under such circum stances credit and a blind spirit of speculation are always developed to a dangerous extent. On the present occa hion this danger will be renderd more formidable by the effect, the character and extent of which is yet to be ascertained, of the recent extraordinary discoveries of gold. The time is therefore approaching, according to all probability, at which the prudence and firmness of the community will, through the natural course of events, be subjected to a severe trial. "At such a moment it is eminently inexpedient and dangerous to introduce a change in the law seriously affectnig the mutual relation of the debtor and creditor interest., and which mast, in the first instance at least, exercise a powerful influence on credit and speculation. Important changes of the laws which affect our monetary or commercial system, however sound may be the prin ciples on which they rest, are almost invariably followed by rapid and excessive development, leading to temporay but serious embarrassment. " The crisis of 1525 was preceded by, and was int mately connected with, the rapid development of the warehousing system which resulted from the acts passed in 1822. " fhe crisis of 1837-9 was closely connected with the sudden and excessive expansion of the joint-stock bank ing system which occurred in the years immediately preceding. "The crisis of 1847 followed closely upon the extensive reduction of import duties introduced by Sir R. Peel and the sudden outburst of the railway system. " Experience, therefore, compels us to anticipate a similar crisis as the necessary result of the first devel. p- went of that great change in our monetary and corn tnercial system which is involved in this abrupt and unqualified introduction of the principle of limited lia bility. " If this crisis occurs simultaneously with the effect of a strong influx of the precious metals on the return of peace, and of the extraordinary addition to the total amount of the precious metals through the gold disco veries, the firmness and prudence of the country may be subjected to a trial too powerful to be withstood, and an artificial expansion of credit may ensue, causing mone tary embarrassment and great mercantile disasters. " 0 VERSTONE. " MONTEAGLE OF BRANDON." PlBAot.—At the Central Criminal Court, yesterday, William Lewis, 25, was indicted for feloniously en deavouring to incite a seaman named Walter Bolitho to run away with a vessel, and with intent piratically to take possession of the vessel and the goods and mer chandise on board. His lordship having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentenced to transportation for life. A letter from Genoa of the 14th, in the Consti tutionnel, says :—" Vessels are arriving every day at La Spezia with troops from the Crimea but as the health of the latter is good, it is not con sidered necessary to put them into camp at the Point of Possono and on the small Ilot of Santa Maria, as was at first intended. One of the vessels which has arrived from. Balaklava has brought the two monumental stones erected at that port by the ancient Genoese. Ge neral de Lamarmora obtained them from the Eng lish Commander-in-Chief. They are about to be placed in the old Palace of the Doges. One of them, bearing the date of 1200, was erected by the patrician family of Passane, as appears from the arms on the escutcheon. The other was placed by the Genoese Government which was in power at - Balaklaya, and bears the date of 1300." i ) tt - 4 4 1 at on SUN OFFICB, Seven o'Clock. NEWTON RACES—(This Day.)

FORTESCUE said on the evening men tioned he intended to move a resolution, to the effect that this house has heard with satisfaction the progress made in instruction by the poorer class of her Illajesty's subjects in Ireland under the Commissioners of National Education, and that no attempt be made to disturb the present system of religious teaching in that country. THE ENTRY OF THE GUARDS INTO LONDON. ilr. H. BARING asked whether there would be any objection to direct that the entry of the Brigade of Guards into London, on their return from the Crimea, should be fixed at such an hour of the day that the pub lic might have an opportunity of testifying the sense they entertain of the services of those troops ? Lord PALMERSTON—Yes, sir. The entry of the Guards will be so arranged with respect to the time of day, and the line of march by which the Guards would enter London, that the whole of the inhabitants of the metropolis will have an opportunity of witnessing their arrival. After the line of march has been traverse I the Gnards will proceed to Hyde-park, and they will there be inspected. It will no doubt be interesting to those persons who beard the drum beat before daybreak, on the occa sion of their departure for the Crimea, to witness their entry into London. (Loud cheers.) PAUPER CHILDREN. - - Mr. M. GIBSON moved fora return showing the number of children between three years and fifteen years of age who shall be chargeable to the poor rates of the several parishes and unions in England and Wales, but who shall not be inmates of workhouses, or of any schools for pauper children, on the let day of July, 1856 ; distinguishing the number of such children who shall then be attending day schools; 1. at the cost of their parents or relatives ; 2. at the cost of the poor rates ; 3. at the cost of other parties ; 4. the number of such children who shall then not be at tending any day school ; and also, 5. these who shall then be in work.—Ordered. FOSCHINI. Mr. BOWYER asked the Home Secretary whether there was at the Home-office, or with the Comnusiioneis of Police, any report or other papers regarding the escape of Foschini, the Italian refugee, for whose appre hension a reward was la' sly of f e red, and, if so, whether her Majesty's Government would lay such seoeut or other papers on the table of the house. The individual in question was the man who attacked and seriously wounded four persons in a cat 6 in Rupert-street. Hay tuark,t. He (Nlr. Bowyer) was informed that Fosch in i aft-r the attack returned to the same house, slept there that night, and breakfasted there the following morning since which time he had sailed for America. The learned gentleman proceeded to state that Foschini was connected with the red party of re fugees in this country who contemplated the life of the Emperor of the French. The hon. gentleman was met with cries of " Order " and " Question," amidst which he said he understood there were persons who could have given information which must have led to the apprehen sion of Foschini had it not been from a fear of falling victims to the knife. There was an organisation in the metropolis, especially of foreigners, which the police were unable to deal with. (Cries of "Oh, oh 1") Sir G. GREY said he declined to e nter into a discus sion of the alleged facts of the case, which he hoped would yet be the subject of a judicial investigation. Every means were taken by the police in London to secure the apprehension of Foschini, and every precau tion was taken to prevent his escape from this coun try. (Hear, hear.) Telegraphic communications, giving a detailed description of the assassin, were forwarded to the variou s ports in tae kingdom from which it might be expected be would endeaveur to escape from the country, and arrangements had been made for his capture in every c:mntry where extradition treaties exited, and amongst those America was one. (Hear.) There was no reason to doubt but that the attacks in question were premeditated, and that means were taken to c )nceal Fo:chini afterwards, and to facilitate his escape, and it was to that his non•apprehension was attri butable. (Hear, hear.) AMERICA. Mr. GLADSTONE asked the Prime Minister at what time it may be expected that the answer of the British Government to the recent despatch of Mr. Marcy, with reference to the dismissal of Mr. Crampton from Washington, would be laid before the house Lord PALMERSTON said that the same reason ex isted now as on Monday last for not entering on a dis cussion of our relations with America. He had no doubt he should be able to lay the despatch in question with Lord Clarendon's answer on the table on an early day in the ensuing week. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON said he quite concurred in the propriety of the house not entering into a discussion until the whole of the pacers were on the table of the house. (Hear, hear ) Ile hoped the despatches in question would be laid on the table of the house on an early day, so that the house might express there opinion on it. He spoke in no party sense, nor with party object when he said he regarded with great and exceeding shame and pain our present relations with the United States Government. From all he had read in the public papers he considered it was by the serious misconduct and indecisive policy of her Majesty's Go vernment that the United States Government had been irritated, deceived, and offended. (Hear, hear, hear.) He regretted extremely that the hon. member for Inverness-shire had withdrawn his motion, but he (Sir J. Pakington) hoped the motion of the hon. and learned member for Mayo would soon come on, so that independent members may have an opportunity of re. cording their opinion on the conduct of the Govern• went. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY said, that as the hon. baronet com menced his speech by expressing his cencurrence in what had hitherto been the conduct of the House on our American relations, he expected he would have exercised his usual discretion and have acted in a manner more conformable with his usual course in that House towards those with whom he was politically opposed, and not have anticipated the feeling of the Houce by the expression of a most decided opinion on the ques tion without having fully considered the ques tion from a perusal of ail the authentic documents connected with it. (Loud cheers from both sides of the house.) He (Sir George Grey) was happy to find from the cheers of those behind the right hon. baronet they did not concur in hie) opinion. (Hear, hear.) It was not the fault of the government that discussion on idaios question had not taken place, and they would be ready to defend their conduct on any occasion. (Hear.) All he asked of the house was to suspend their opinion on the conduct of her Majesty's Government and representative at Washington till the whole of the papers had been laid on the table of the house. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. MOORE said he acceded to the request, and would postp me his motion until the papers in question had been laid on the table of the house. He hoped the noble lord at the head of the Government would name a❑ early day for the discussion to take place. The subject then dropped. The mution for adjournment till Monday was then agreed to. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BILL. The house thon proceeded to consider this bill as amended. [LEFT SITTING.] Evening.) LONDON G. WAR DEPARTMENT, JuNic . l9, 1856.
