IVONEY MARKET AND COM,I7IICTAL IVELLIGENCv --- - -v --_~.. CITY, Two o'rjr,ocr. The Liverp;ol 0, - ;tton Market, yesterday, closed very quietly, bar firmly, and prices were a shade clearer. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales (1,500 of which were taken for export and 2,000 on speculation), comprising 480 Perham and Maran ham, at 64d. to 7.4 d. ; 200 Bahia, 6d. to 61d. ; 200 Egyptian, 7d. to 7-Id. ; 1,500 Surat, 4id. to Sid, ; and 160 Sea Islands, ll&d. to ls. 4d. per lb. The Railway Share Market manifested an active appearance, at a slight improvement in prices. Further accounts from Leipzic relative to the business of the great autumnal fair of merchandise, state that the fluctuations in the market generally, which existed at the commencement of the second week of the fair, had subsided on the 3d inst. It was apparent that the result would not be so fa'pourable as was at first expected, in conse quence of the unsettled state of the money market, at the same time the prices realised upon silks, leathers, and other goods in demand were all higher than during any previous fair. At the above date there were few large parcels of wares for sale, and the principal business of the fair was considered to have terminated, on account of the majority of buyers and sellers hav ing departed to their respective countries. Silk stuffs were particularly in request for the north of Europe, and the high prices were fully realised. German fabrics were less in demand, on account of the absence of buyers for the South American trade, where silks of that manufacture find a good market; and the commercial advices received lately from there state that silks were selling at lower rates than the European currency. On account of the scarcity of specie foreign buyers had to submit to a discount of 8 and 9 per cent. on bills at two and three months. The condition of monetary affairs in France ap pears to be getting worse, notwithstanding the plausible statements of M. Magne, the Minister of g Er is . . Finance. Unless a favourable change immediately 25 occurs, it is thought that Government interference se must be resorted to ; and even those who a few 4 .2' days ago considered a cessation of specie payments 10 by the National Bank quite improbable are now of s opinion that such a measure may be found neces- 3t: sary, notwithstanding the disturbance and incon- 50 Yenience which it would occasion. Silver is ,g, exceedingly scarce, and the speculation in the 2E article continues. The press has therefore been forbidden to advert to the crisis, and the money-changers have been requested not to expose the terms in their shop windows on which they are willing to purchase silver. These are unwholesome indications, and appear contradictory to M. Magne's statements. The question asked is, what can the Bank do ? But no one appears in a position to solve the problem. An Imperial decree is expected, but its terms cannot be anticipated. Under these circumstances consi derable anxiety is felt to ascertain the advices lately received by the mails and submarine tele graph. Meanwhile purchases of gold, alleged to be on account of the Bank of France, continue ; and the daily withdrawal from the establishment in Threadneedle-street, in the absence of Australian remittances, must be seriously telling on the stock of the precious metals. The knowledge of this fact gave rise to our expectation that the directors might have resorted, at their meeting to-day, to some further measures of restriction, but after a pro tracted sitting, when the present position of affairs Was, no doubt, fully considered, they separated Without making any change. The English Funds, yesterday afternoon, closed officially at the highest prices, but subsequently a reaction took place. This morning there has been a partial recovery, but the market is still some what feeble. Consols for money have been 911 g, 911 and 91a 1, with several intermediate changes. For account they have been 911 911 and 91k, 92. The present quotations are 91 I, and 91.1 j 92 respectively. Exchequer Bills are flat, being 4s. to Bs. premium ; and the Bonds 981 1. East India Bonds are 7s. prem. The failure of a Consol dealer has been " de clared" this morning, and the liabilities are sup posed to be heavy. Turkish 6 per Copts. have had a material fall, the lowest point realised having been 951. They are now rather firmer, being 95 to 951, being still, however, very heavy. The 4 per Cents. are 924. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 42, and the Deferred 24. Russian 5 per Cents. have been 1071, and the 41 Per Cents. 971 ; Mexican Stock has declined to 211 22 ; Equador New Consolidated are 14 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents., 1001 ; Dutch 21 per Cents. 641 1, and the 4 per Cents. 951. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :-Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 71 ; Mexi can, 21i 221 ; Peruvian, 76 78 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 108 ; ditto 4& per Cents., 96 98 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 41/ 24 ; ditto Certificates, 51 ; ditto Passive, 61.

(BefDre Mr. CommiN;sioner Evans.) THE ROYAL MIMI - SST ADJIMICIATLM BANYRUBTCY. This morning Mr. Linklater attended before his Honour to open another petition in bankruptcy against the Royal British Bank. The present inoccedings were t.aken at the instance of Mr.Tressamßurke, of:GteAty-,i. street, india tubiJer manufacturer, and were founded on the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 111, commonly known as the Winding-up Act, by the 4th section of which it is enacted that "if any commercial or trading company, or any joint-stock company, shall commit any act of bankruptcy, a fiat in bankruptcy may issue against the same, and may be prosecuted in like as against other bankrupts." Mr. Linklater submitted that this act had not been repealed by the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act. His Honour asked if there had been any other case like it before ? Mr. Linklater was not aware that there bad. The usual forms were gone through, and an adjudioa on took p'ace. Linklater 9:4141 tJ tha matter was UkEr; out of the hands of the official manager. Mr. Johnstone, the messenger of ?Ir. Commissioner Holroyd's Court, at one proceeded to take possession. IN RE PUDDICOMBE. This bankrupt was described as of Bridge-street, Southwark-bridge-road, ironmonger, and to-day was ap pointed for his last examination. Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees, and did not oppose, and the bankrupt passed. IN RE WILSON. This bankrupt was described as of Sigh-street, Icinge land, painter, and came up to pass his examination. Mr. Chidley, for the assignees, did not oppose, amd the bankrupt passed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE, Philip Ol7:ford, a tramp, a tall, wild-looking fellorw, with a profusion of hair, was placed at the bar bef.)re Mr. Alderman Wire, charged with breaking a pane of glass, value 83., in the shop window of Mr. Joset . ph Wybrow, grocer, 17, Sparrow-court, Minories. The complainant stated that, this morning, ab out half-past 8 o'clock, the prisoner, who was drunk in Sparrow-court, and as he passed his shop in company with another man, he pushed his head through the g! ass and broke it ; he ran out and secured the prisoner, 'but the other man ran off and escaped. The prisoner, in defence, said that he had just "come off the road" on tramp, and having met with a friend he had a little too much to drink ; he denied that be put his head through the window, and said it was the otter man who pitched him through. (Laughter.) Alderman Wire fined him Bs., the damage, and Is. for being drunk, or 10 days' imprisonment. The prisoner was locked up. GUILDHALL. The business of this Court commenced this morning shortly after 9 o'clock, and by 12 o'clock, the usual time at which the business commences, the whole of the cases were disposed of. The police magistrates of the City, or rather we should say the presiding alderm en, appear to imagine they are privileged to play such f an tastic tricks as they please, in connection with the busi ness of the Courts, and from the continual changes taey make in the hour of their opening, they have ear aed for themselves the ridicule of all those who have busi ness to transact there, and the sobriquet of " Colic Jim Crows." It is to be hoped that in the new Londfon Corporation Bill, Sir G. Grey will make provision :for the appointment of stipendiary magistrates for the Ci ty police courts, and fix the hour for commencing business at not later than 10 o'clock a.m. If the aldermen of London would only condescend to put a notice up in the Court announcing the change of hour the day before the change is to take place, mulch inconvenience and disappointment would be avoid( ud ; but ,then who ever heard of the condescension of an alderman when wrapt in civic robes and ermine, rind perched on the judicial bench. Alfred Moger, aged 20, a porter in the employ of Messrs. Crowden, Garr rd, and Co., of Falcon-strott, Aldersgate-street, brush manufacturers, was placel at the bar before Sir H. Muggeridge, on remand, char,;ed with stealing a quantity of brushes, value 71., their pro perty. Mr. Wontner appeared for the prisoner. The prisoner bad been in the prosecutor's employ about seven months, and during that time he had continna,lly Plundered his eirrln_vers. and pawned the goods as Lis property. The prisoner was committed for trial. i " 1/ '. ;1 ,1 t 7 Z/ , r 4 4 SEWAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. A very interesting and able lecture was delivered last night at the Literary and Scientific Institution, Great Sillith-.hest, Westminster, by Alexander \Vright, E member of the Metropolitan Bard of Worl engineer, &e. ; David Wallecu, E - eq., in the elm and civil Tbe lecture was divided into two part3—first, as to the che. mir2al properties of manure; second, the engineering clialcalty to dispose of it. The I,eturer spoke of the high iellu3 entertained by many onilneet in >ivicluals in this country of sewage; and that it could be highly benefic;:il to save the same andclisperse it on the land, but put forth the immense labour and expense in so doing, in conse quence of the great feeling we entertain of cleanliness in flushing our closets and drains, and the immense quail-, tity of rain water mingling with, and carrying away, the excrement of the metropilis, thus deodorising and leaving cumbrous the same for manure ; and spoke of chemical science producing, for about ss. per ton, an an admixture of ammonia and phosphates from coal, applied with chalk, a manure at one-tenth the labour and expense for the land. The next point, as to the engineering difficulty, he said, if it was proved we could do without saving the sewage an immense expense might be saved. As the emiuent Illzalgette shows the an cients never intended the streams which now run into the Thames to convey soil, but the rain water from the hills about London ; he designs a sower to be made at the base of the hills, and convoy as far as Woolwich on each side of the Thames, and the present sewers to run into a large tunnel], constructed by the river side, and fcrm a boundary aid esplanade on its banks as far as London-bridge, the same to join at Woolwich, and be pumped up and carried off to sea by the immense body of water coming through the main trunk from the hills, leaving then an opportunity for future ages still to make use of the sewage for the land if to their advantage. This scheme would cost 4,7"' :,770,580/. But another question was started as to the effect it would produce if the rain water was withheld from its natural bed, the river, and. if it would not affect the tidal influence. The able leetnrcr closed his discourse at 9 o'clock, having been favoured with the presence of several members of the Metropolitan Board and a large meeting of the ratepayers of tha district. After a warm eulogy upon his ability and a yoto of thanks the meet ing separated. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DRUNKENNESS AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary A out Wect, a young woman of decent appearance, was brou eat before Mr. Bingham, charged with having attempted to commit suicide in a cell at Vine-street station-horse, where she was locked up for being drunk and disorderly. Kelly, 67 C, stated that on the previous evening he was on duty at the station-house, when the defend:int was brought in much the worse for drink. He look:red her up in a cell by herself, and at eight o'clock, in c‘ni sequence of hearing a noise proceed from her cedl, he visited her and found her in the act of straugli c g herself with her pocket-handkerchief, which she had ti.ied tightly round her throat and secured to the b nit of the door. She appeared to be in her last gasp, acd be at once cut her down, and a medical man was stint for, who advised her instant removal to the workhouses. The prisoner said she was so very much intoxicated at the time that she really had not the least recollecti o n of what had occurred. Mr. Bingham said he could not express much surprise that a woman so given to drink as the prisoner appeared to be should make such an attempt, as it was a proba ble proceeding to one, no doubt, so unhappy. The most charitable thing he could now do would be to take care of her for seven days, and he should commit her to prison for that period. THAMES. SINGULAR CASE OF ROBBERY.—JuIia Welch, a woman of the town, was charged with stealing a silver water; and a gold guard chain from a Swedish seaman, named Christian Janson, belonging t• the British merchant service,. It appeared from the evidence of the seaman that about 8 or 9 menthe ago he was inveigled into a low brother, No. 7, Crown-court, Glasshouse-street, Whitechapel, where ho met with the fate of all mariners who enter the infamous houses in the district of this court—he wags ill used, robbed of his money, and stripped of his clothes. He was compelled to go to sea directlly afterwards, and the wretches who plundered hiaii were never brought to justice. A few days ago the sailor again arrived in London, and lee was paid off with his shipmates on Friday last at the Sailors' Home, in West-street, Wellclose-squar s. On Tuesday evening the prisoner met a man in the street who expressed the greatest sympathy and respect for him. The sailor said he had been robbed on the tecr mination of a former voyage, and f eare d h e s h ou ld be robbed again , on which his new acquaintance said he would take him to a respectable house, where he could obtain a lodging, and be well provided for. The sailor accompanied his quondam friend th roug h a i laby rinth of courts and alleys n the neighbourhood until they reached Crown-court, when the sailor was con ducted into the very house and the same room where he had been robbed ei g ht or nine months ago. The prisoner was in the room, and asked him for some money. The sailor said he would give her none, and recognising the room in which he had been formerly robbed end( a voured to force his way out of the place. The prison er immediately put her arms round his neck and endea voured to detain him. He struggled with her, and the man who first accosted him in the street called out have you your watch and guard right ? and the prisoner laid hold of both and took them from hi a m n . , h T er h b e n s i a ly il , or nt t r r u ild to recover his property , on which the prisoner threatenod to punch his eye out , and the man, hi m , The sailor then escaped from the house as soon as possible. Yesterday evening Kelly, a police constable, No. 130 H, found the prisoner at home in the act of concealing a gold watch and guard, which he took from her. lie also found upon her 13 duplicates nlating to property pawned, but could not trace the sailors' watch and guard,. but the police constable hoped that he should be enabled to trace the sailor's property if time was given him. Kelly added that the prisoner was the most notorious thief in the neighbourhood. The prisoner was remanded till Saturday. The granite ro adway between Duncannon and Agar streets, West Strand, is at present undergoing repair by the entira removal of the old pavement and relaying the foundation and resetting the stone work in cement.

This aquatic reunion is rapidly progressing in popular favour and the number of its members. The monthly dinners and meetings are held at the Freemasons' Ta vern, Lincoln's inn•fields ; and at the last one several new members were added to the list. It is no doubt al ready fresh in the minds of our aquatic readers that the club was formed upon the principle of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, house dinners preceding the meetings, and was instituted for the purpose either of giving prizes among its own members, lending a helping hand to poor and deserving watermen, or presenting prizes to other regattas. Accordingly following out the last of these, the members gave a coat, badge, and freedom to be rowed for at the late Royal Thames National Regatta ; and at the above meeting G. Hammerton, the successful competitor, who is serving his apprenticeship under Jem Messenger, the champion of the Thames. at Tsddington submitted his prize to the inspection of the members, who congratulated him on being the fortunate possessor, and he was dismissed with several marks of their appro val of his plucky conduct, skill, and respectful behaviour on all occasions.

ART ON THE CONTINENT.—We recently mentioned that the annual exhibition of French artists will take place next year in the galleries of the Palais de l'lndus trie till the galleries of the new Louvre be finished. We have now to add that, by order of the Emperor, the exhibition will commence on the 15th of May and close on the 15th of July. The Academie des Beaux Arts at Paris has awarded the prizes for historical painting. The first grand prize was gained by M. Clement, pupil of Messre. Droning and Picot. Second grand prize to M. Delaunay, pupil of M. Flandein ; and the second class grand prize to M. Michel, pupil of M. Picot. This men tion of the relationship of master and scholar, always formally made in France, reminds us of the schools of the great eras of painting in Italy. An imperial decree describes the erection in Paris of a monumental column in honour of the army of the Crimea, and our readers may be quite sure that French valour will be illustrated, as it should be when the nation is the illustrator, by French art. A colossal bronzy statue of General Le coarbe, by M. Etex, will be inaugurated with much mintery pomp next month at Lous-le-Saulnier, „the na tive piece of the general. The Revue des Beaux Arts, in alluding to the legiti mate success of the exhibition of pictures at the Crystal Palace, rather amusingly promises its readers an an swer to " the question often asked, why the French sell such a small number of pictures inEngland ?" A bronze statue of Joan of Arc, by M. Paul, has been provision ally erected in the Champs Eysees. Its ultimate desti• nation is the village of tiomremy. The pendant to Kiss's Antazse, at Berlin, which is intended to be placed on the other side of the entrance to the Museum, is in pro gress under the band of the sculptor Albert Wolff. It represents a naked youth mounted on a horse, and con tending successfully against a lion that has attacked him. Preparations are making at St. Petersburg , fOr the erection of an equestrian statue to the late Emperor Nicholas. The site is to be the square which lies be tween the cathedral church of St. Isaac and the palace of the Grand Duchess Marie ; and the pedestal will ex hibit on its sides basei-relievi representing four leading incidents in the reign of the Czar. The sculptor com• missioned is the Baron Kloodt. • An exhibition of paint ings and other objects of art, now open at Amsterdam, is said to be very remarkable. Mr. Csypel, the cele brated Belgian sculptor—who executed gratuitously the statue of Vandyke erected on the Place du Muses at Antwerp, and which was inaugurated before the King of the Belgians during the recent fetes — has been nomi nated a chevalier of the order of Leopold by his Majesty, and the city of Antwerp has made him a rich presenta tion of plate. Another statue has been added since the prorogation of Parliament to those already placed in St. Stephen's Hall, namely, one to Charles JaMOS Fox, executed by Mr_ ita.a...y, R.A. TELEGRAPHIC EXPERIMENTS. The following letter, describing some etperi ments connected with the projected telegraphic communication between New York and London, via Newfoundland, has been handed to us for pub lication : "London, Oct. 3, Five o'clock, a.m. " My dear Sir,—ls the electrician of the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, it is with the highest gratification that I have to apprise you of the result of our experiments of this morning upon a single continuous conductor of more than 2,000 miles in extant, a distance you will perceive sufficient to cross the Atlantic Ocean, from Newfoundland to Ireland. "The admirable arrangements made at the Magnetic Telegraph.office in Old Broad-street, for connecting ten subterranean gutta percha insulated conductors, of over 200 miles each, so as to give one continuous length of more than 2,000 miles 'during the hours of the night, when the telegraph is not commercially employed, fur nished us the means of conclusively settling by actual ex periment the question of the practicability as well as the practicality of telegraphing through our proposed Atlantic cable. " This result had been thrown into some doubt by the discovery, more than two years since, of certain pheno mena upon subterranean and submarine conductors, and had attracted the attention of electricians—particularly of that most eminent philosopher Professor Faraday, and that clear-sighted investigator of electrical pheno• mena Dr. Whitehouse—aud one of these phenomena, to wit, the perceptible retardation of the electric current, threatened to perplex our operations and required careful investigation before we could pronounce with certaiety the commercial practiCability of the Ocean Telegraph. " I am most happy to inform you that, as a crowning result of a long series of experimental investigation and inductive reasoning upon this subject, the experiments under the direction of Dr. Whitehouse and Mr. Bright, which I witnessed this morning, in which the induction coils and receiving magnets, as modified by these gentlt‘ men, were made to actuate one of my recording instru ments, have most satisfactorily resolved all doubts of the practicability as well as practicality of operating the telegraph from Newfoundland to Ireland. " Although we telegraphed signals at the rate of 210.241, and according to the count of one time even of 270 per minute upon my telegraph register (which speed you will perceive is at a rate commercially advantage ous), these results were accomplished, notwithstanding many disadvantages in our arrangements, of a tempo rary and local character —disadvantages which will nott occur in the use of our submarine cable. "Having passed the whole night with my active and agreeable collaborators, Dr. Whitehou se and Mr. Bright, without sleep, you will excuse the hurried and brief cha racter of this note, which I could not refrain from send ing you, since our experiments this morning settle the scientific and commercial points of ou r enterprise satis- factorily. " With respect and esteem, your obedient servant, (Signed) "SAISL. F. B. MORSE. " To Cyrus W.

Blandois, a sort of a roving Chevalier d'lndustrie ! Separating from them, however, after a night passed with these chance acquaintances in the Convent, the Dorrits descend from the mountain tops into Italy in the grand cavalcade already particularised. An incidental chapter introduces the reader especially and for mally to Mrs. General, the expensive Chaperon. The Third Chapter of Book the Second carrying the whole party in a grand clatter onwards—like a fragmentary reflection of. " Pictures .from Italy." And the fourth settling them down for the time being in a Venetian Palace, whence Little Dorrit writes an affectionate and charac teristic letter to "Dear Mr. Clenusen,"—a letter bringing to an end the present instalment. Con spicuous among the "good things" in this eleventh number is the mention made casually of Mr. Tip's travelling costume —one, we are told, of "the very fullest and completest," insomuch so that " The world seemed hardly large enough, to ,yield him an amount of travel proportionate to his equipment.? The whole description of Mrs. General " driving the proprieties four-in-hand" is capital. Admir able, too, in a very different way is the limning,of the Alpine scenery with the ascending Night com ing up the mountain "like a rising water"--and when it had risen at last to the walls of the old convent, appearing as "though that weather-beaten structure was another Ark, and floated away upon the shadowy waves." Deliciously ridiculous is Miss Fanny Dorrit's indignation at Amy's good natured care for Minnie Gowan nee Meagles when the latter has chanced to faint away and be carried to her bedchamber. " See," observes Miss Fanny, " what is involved in this ! Can we ever , hope to be respected by our servants? Never. Here are. our two women, and Pa's valet, and a footman, I,and a courier, and all sorts of dependents, and yet iu the midst of them we are to have one of our selves rushing about with tumblers of cold water, like a menial d Why, a policeman,'! :exclaims Miss Fanny, "if a beggar had a fit in the street, could but go plunging about with tumblers, as'this very Amy did in this very room before oar very eyes last night !" Consequent upon all which morbid jealousy as to the maintenance of the family dignity, we have the most .humorons description of all in this eleventh number—the in cident where a very genteel lady, accompanied by her son (no other than our old absurd friend Spark ler and his mamma, Mrs. Merdle, otherwise " the Bosom"), take unceremonious possession (during their temporary absence on the Great St. Bernard) of a salon appertaining to the Dorrit family, in the hotel at Martigny. The innkeeper's protestations of anguish at this untoward casualty furnish the key to this very laughter-moving description. He, the innkeeper, hat in hand, ou the return of the Dorrit Family, declaring to the courier " that ho was blighted, that he was desolated, that lie was profoundly afflicted, that he was the most miserable and unfortunate of beasts, that ho had the head of a wooden pig," and the like—until Mr. Dorrit's wrath drowns the innkeeper's apologies in an out;- burst of indignation. The said haughty aristocrat being appeased by Mrs. Merdle's elegant protesta tions of regret--having been previously propitiated through the medium of Tip, by the stenographic explanations of Sparkler, who assures that young gentleman, udder the exclamation of "old feller ; you !" that Lady—a mother of mine in Point of fact [as if the ridiculous wretch had two !]—wishes no Row :" adding, that the said Lady " Being a re markably fine woman, et cetera"—was too many for this " chap,"—meauing the desolated innkeeper. The whole affair ending, of course, after all, some how satisfactorily, until Mrs. Merdle and the Spar kler are transfixed in a dumb recognition of Miss Dorrit. Until, in fact, the Bosom pulls the partially paralysed son of it, into their travelling chariot. " He . was no sooner within," says the historian, " than the pad of the little window in the back of the chariot disappeared, and his eye usurped its place. There it remained as long as so small an object was discernible, and probably much longer, staring (as though something inexpressibly sur prising should happen to a cod-fish) like an ill executed eye in a large locket." Gazing through whiCh preposterous eye of Mr. Sparkler upon the Dorrit Family, we leave them for a while in the midst of their Continental wanderings. LONDON-BRIDGE TRAFFIC. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Your correspondent is the exponent of a large class whose endeavour it is to facilitate the traffic over London-bridge. Having devoted much time to this im portant subject, permit me to remark that in my opinion no adequate relief can he afforded by any of the plans proposed, whose basis it is to force over the bridge more than its legitimate traffic, and hence plethora ensues. The only relief can be obtained by diverting the traffic that does not legitimately belong to the bridge. At pre sent it is the route to the Great Northern and North- Western Railways, Camden-town, Highgate, Hamp stead, &c., as well as to a considerable section of the western distriots of the metropolis. The olject cf my proposed new street for Southwark, which is paralletto and contiguous to the river, is to abstract the whole of his traffic. It would allot to the several bridges their respective proportions, and Victoria-street would form part of the new route to Euston and King's-cross sta tions ; thus London-bridge, relieved of near two thirds of its traffic, would bo found ample for the requirements, and the public would not then have to cemplain of the very severe inconvenience and loss of time which they have now to submit to. I enclose a memorial to the Metropolitan Board olf Works from the Brighton and, South-Western ComPa' Mee, which confirms my view of this subject. Whe n it is consideredthat between 10,000,000 and 11,000,000 of passengers arrive and depart from this term opinion of the directors ought to be conclusive to the further evidence is needful to enable any eeprienjuusd'i-;t:doe mind to decide upon the subject ; besides which the tb.e.vast views of of the other companies are coincident, from whetn memorials will be presented. I cannot conclude without adding my testimony very effective manner in which the police carry out the traffic arrangements.
