Prices of Ame rican were id. per lb. higher than last week. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales, com prising 5,000 Pernam and Maranham at 01d. to 7d. ; 700 Egyptian, at Gd. to Bd. ; and 1,500 Surat, at 4id. to 51d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was quiet, but prices were steady, at Tues day's currency. Advices from Turin state that the drain of silver specie has been going on for some time in that city. Almost every diligence which comes from Lyons brings hundreds of thousands of francs and crowns in payment for silks and other raw produce, which disappears from the bank shortly after it arrives. The exports of specie to Naples, Geneva, and elsewhere, amour t to many millions of franc, in a week, to the great injury of commerce. The Bank have given notice that they will not discount to merchants in specie for some time, as they have only one million of crowns in cash for three mil lions in notes, which causes any decrease of coin to create great perturbation in the money-market. The provisional agreement made with the Great Nor them of France Railway Company for leasing the Mons and Menage line was agreed to this day, guaranteeing 6 per cent. per annum on the origi nal shares. 2Lt appears that the recent resolution of the Bank of Belgium with regard to the exchange of French 20C. pieces in gold, at a discount of 21 per cent., ha 3 created much embarrassment, and given uta k% tge to the French Government. The rate of exchange in silver is 19f. 80c. for the 20f. piece, but even this is not easily obtained on account of the scarcity of silver in Belgium, while the holders of' notes can demand payment in sf. pieces, so that it benefits them when they exchange their silver for gold and remit the same to France. It is hinted thal% the attention of the Govern ment has been dram rn to the subject, and that they may prohibit the c urrency of Belgian 20f. pieces in France. The Directors of the Bank of England have held their meeting, and no alteration has been announced in the minimum rate of dis count 4 although there was an impression in some quarters that an increase of 1 per cent. would have been deemed advisable. During the l ast few days the demand for discount accommodation has been very active, and full rates have lbeen current ; but the principal circumstance which has given rise to the expectation of an ad vance is the restrictive policy now pursued by the con tinental banks. In Prussia the pressure has been, so se/ ere that the Bank of Berlin has raised the rate from 5 to 6 per cent., although it is not more than a fortnight since the rate was altered from 4 to 5 per cent. Notwithstanding the quotation in Threadneedle-street is still 4i per cent., there is every probability of a change before long, and many sup pose it cannot be deferred beyond next week. English Securities at present attract little atten tion, the various markets having become much quieter. The quotations continue heavy. At the commencement of business, the Funds were) at almost nominal quotations, an indis position being evinced to operate until the re sult of the Bank " parlour" meeting was ascer tained ; but when it was reported that no change had been determined upon the market sli,ghtly improved. Consols for transfer have been 93:, : to 94 and 93i to 94 ; for account they have been 93i to 94 and 944. Exchequer Bills are steady at 13s. to 17s. premium, and East India Bon cis are marked 14s. to 173. premium. The Foreign Market has remained in a dull state, and prices have not varied to any material extent. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 1014 to i 4102, but the 4 per Cents. are nominal. Spanish "hrees are 43k, and the Deferred 241. Russian 'ives are !firm at 108, and Peruvian ili- per Cents. t 79i f. Buenos Ayres are flat, being 80k. Du tch 2i per Cents. have been marked 64 i.

(Before Mr. Undersheriff Burchell.) ROARS V. ACIIT.- ACCOMMODATION BILL TRANSACTIONS. This was an action to recover the sum of 181. 3s. Bd. on a promissory note, given under the following pecu- liar circumstances : It appeared by the eridence that the defendant had accepted an accommodation bill for the plaintiff, who had paid it away to a Mr. Lancaster, and the bill being dishonoured the latter sued the defendant, who was ar rested. The plaintiff was appealed to on the subject, as defendant at the time held two accommodation bills accepted by the plaintiff, and, after some dis cussion, it was agreed that he should obtain the release of the defendant on the latter giving a promissory note for the amount claimed, 181. 3s. 6d., and making an assignment fey the benefit of the creditors —this was done, and the plaintiff signed the deed for that amount, but it was contended that that was for a bill for: clothes, and that the note was given to enable plaintiff to settle with Lancaster. For the defendant, it was contended, the debt was either released under the deed, or was given i❑ fraud against the other creditors, giving the plaintiff a preference, and therefore void. The learned Under-sheriff' summed up, and directed the attention of the jury to the fact that the amount in the deed was exactly the same as that of the note, and left it to the jury whether it was for the debt ; if so, it was released by the deed. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—{This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE. A man named French, wag placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Carter, charged with wilful damage, under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of Mr. J. R. Egan, landlord of the Monument Tavern, 48, Fish•street Hill, that the prisoner came to his house last night between 5 and 6 o'clock, and was very annoying to the customers. The witness remonstrated with him, and desired him to desist, but he refused. He then ordered him to leave, but he would not, and threatened witness, who came round to put him out, and caught hold of him for that purpose, on which the prisoner attempted to break away from him, but finding it impossible, he deliberately sent his fist through a square of plate glass, value 2/. 10e. After that the prisoner succeeded in getting from the witness, and ran out of the door ; but, coming in contact with the lamppost, he was brought up, and detained by the witness until a policeman came up, when he was given into custody. The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done, and asked to be permitted to settle th• case with the complainant. Alderman Carter told him he had committed an offence against the law, and the complainant had no right to compromise the affair. He had committed a wanton damage, and he fined him 2/. 10s., the value of the glass, and costs, or two months' imprisonmen t. The prisoner was unable to pay the fine, and he was accordingly locked up. widow when he married her, and had been in business a long time. Mr. Selfe convicted Wright of the unlawful posses sion of the copper, and committed Seal for trial. BRAS ktARKETB. 'THIS "DAY.) RAILWAYP, it:l'lMA Yil. Closing Prices this day. 9AlAnabg. Nottng.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Welch, was placed at the bar, before Alderman Cubitt, charged with highway robbery. Mr. Robert Smith, of 16, Wellington-street, Victo ria-park, deposed that last night, about nine o'clock, he was walking along Holborn-hill with a parcel under one hand and a stick and umbrella in the other, when he felt his umbrella strike against something, and on look ing round saw a man whom he believed to be the pri soner. He apologised to him for having unintentionally struck him, on which the prisoner forced his company and conversation on him, informing him that he (pri soner) had been to a wrestling snatch in St. Martin's. lane. He had a glass too much. After some conversa tion he got in front of the prosecutor and caught hold of him by the hip and put his foot between his (prosecutor's) to show him how they wrestled. After that the prisoner left the prosecutor, and from the manner in which he left him and walked across the street his suspicions were aroused, and on putting his hand in his trousers pocket he found his portemonaie, containing a sovereign, and 2a. 6d. in silver, gone. He gave information to police con stable 235, and they went to the corner of Farringdon• street, where they saw the prisoner and another man standing. On their going up to them they both ran off, but the prisoner was apprehended near Farringdon market. The prisoner protested his innocence of the charge, and said he had been for two years in the City of Lon don militia, and appealed to the Quartermaster, who was present, to verify the fact. The Quartermaster said he knew the prisoner had been in the militia, but he could not speak to his general conduct. Springate, the gaoler, said the prisoner was an old hand, and had been convicted before. The prisoner said he admitted he had been a bad cha racter, and that it wag more than two years ago that he was convictel. As the prosecutor declined to swear positively to the prisoner, the Alderman gave him the benefit of the doubt, and discharged him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DRUNKEN TRlO.—Charles Hawes, George Griffiths, and John. Gray, described on the charge sheet as gentle• men, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and disorderly. Joy, 338 A, stated that at three o'clock this morning he saw the defendant Hawes, who was very drunk, in Carlton•street, Pall-mall ; he was very noisy, and as his conduct was likely to cause annoyance to the tants he took ,him into custody. The other defendants, who were also drunk, then came up, and attempted to rescue him. Witness, however, with assistance, took the whole three to the station house. The defendant Gray was exceedingly violent and struck witness on a. mouth. The prisoners denied the charge. Mr. Bingham said he was satisfied that the case was proved, and fined Hawes 108., Griffiths 205., and Gray 40s. for his violence to the officers. CHARM OF CBUELTY.— Chares Hawes, a cabdrive badge 8,640, was charged with driving a horse in an unfit condition. Mr. Wemys, the superintendent of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was in attend- ance on behalf of the society. P•lice-constable Burn said he was on duty in tho Haymarket that morning, when he saw the defendant on the cab-rank with a horse and Hansom cab. Having previously received information of the state of prisoner's horse he went up and examined it, and found a large raw wound on the chtst, a wound on the back, and two ethers on the withers, all raw and bleeding. He called defendant's attention to the state of the horse, when he pretended he knew nothing at all about it. Defendant now repeated the same statement to the magistrate. Mr. Bingham, having looked at the horeo, said it was in a cruel state, and find the defendant 205,, or 14 days' imprisonment. THAMES. THE THIEF AND RECEIVER. —IIIIVTANT CONVICTION. —John Seal, a labourer, and William Wright, were brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a cake of copper, weighing 951b5., and value Si. The prisoner Wright was apprehended on the 15th inst. by police-constable Townsend, No. 54 H. He was bringing a large cake of capper out of the White Lion public-house, in Leman-street, Whitechapel, and was about to put it into a cab when Townsend arrested him and asked him where he obtained it, to which he replied that a man gave it to him. He was brought before Mr. Selfe on the 16th instant, re manded till Thursday last, and again remanded till this day. Yesterday Seal was apprehended by Townsend, and Mr. J. R. Bell, wharfinger of Fresh Wharf, Thames-street, said that Seal was in his employ, and that the copper was stolen from a warehouse which was broken open between Saturday afternoon, the 13th instant, and Monday morning, the 15th. Mrs. Wright, wife of one of the prisoners, and a man named Clark, in her employ, said that Seal brought the cake of copper to Mr. Wright's shop in Little Prescott street, Whitechapel, on the night of Saturday, the 13th instant. They would have nothing to do with it. This day, at 12 o'clock, the prisoners were again ar raioned, and the evidence having been repeated, John Messenger, rag-sorter, in the employ of the prisoner Wright, said he was directed by his master to carry the cake of copper from Wright's shop, No. 10, Little Presott-street, Whitechapel, to the White Lion public house in Leman-street, Whitecbapel, on the 15th instant.

For metropolitan turfites the Manchester men could scarcely have selected two more inconvenient days on which to celebrate their Autumn Meeting than Friday and Saturday; still they had the inclinations and the wishes of the people of the locality to consult, and a consideration of the half-holiday movement, doubtless, guided their choice of Saturday for a race day. The programme presents quite a long array of stakes, but if my information be trustworthy the fields are likely to be numerically insignificant. In the absen co of all certain knowledge as to the intended competitors, and not having yet seen a list of arrivals, my guesses at truth will perhaps be somewhat vague. Still I shall calculate the chances as they appear on paper, and if I only can insure "a run," I shall not make many errors of judgment. From the twenty-three weighted for the Chesterfield Handicap it is difficult to make a selection. Mongrel and Coxwell may perhaps show to the most advantage. Yorkshire Grey really seems to be "a good thing" for the Wilton Handicap, and he has already been backed in London at a short price. Mary, however, despite her recent queer running, should be my unconditional selection, if I were certain that she is really intended. Under the circumstances, therefore, I shall let tho " Grey " represent my interest ; but, should Mary go to the post, and be backed, I shall transfer my liking to the mare. It would puzzle a conjuror to divine the probable winner of the Trafford Plate. In my opinion Bour geoise and Jack Sheppard are leniently handicapped. The Post-Office Hotel Handicap will be carried off by either The Medway or Biron. The running on Saturday will be so materially re gulated by the result of Friday's racing that it would be preposterous to endeavour to determine the proba bilities. The advent of the Newmarket Meeting warns us of ifie approaching termination of the legitimate racing season. The first of the series of October gatherings at head-quarters will take place next week. Still there is much work to be got through before dreary November brings the curtain down upon legitimate turf sports. A winter of unusual dulness to racing men may be anti cipated, for the promoters of steeplechases have yet made no sign by which we may discover any increase or improvement in cross country events. When time and opportunities serve I will briefly refer to the winter prospects of sport. Sept. 25. A FRESH MAN. Sporting Intelligence. LEICESTER RACES.—Wzmasp kr.

Devastation, Sept. 16, 1856, Sheerness. " United States Darien Expedition, Cantonment of La Palma, Darien Harbour, April, 1854. "Sir,—ln my own behalf, and that of the officers and others composing the expedition under my command, I write to tender to you, and, through you, to the officers and seamen under your command, our sincere thanks for the prompt and inestimable assistance rendered by the party despatched to the Upper Ctruquanaqoa under the immediate command of Lieutenant W. C. Fovyth. To the energy and activity of the commander of the relief party, Lieut. W. C. Fonyth, we owe many thanks, as the condition of some members of our expedition was so precarious that even a few hours afterwards we should have been too late. To him, to Dr. William Ross, and to the paymaster, W. H. Hills, and the men composing the crew of the paddiebox•boat, you will be pleased to c mvey my thanks, and those of my party. and I :ten well aware it must be a source of intense satisfac tion to them to know that, had it not been fir their well directed efforts, twelve suffering men must inevitably have perished miserably, notwithstanding every effort which I, or the others composing the advanced guard, might have been made to save them. " Very respectfully, your obedient servant, " ' .7. G. STRAIN, " Lieut. commanding United States' Darien Expedition. " To Commander Edward Marshall, Royal Navy, commanding H.B.M. ship Virago.' " Her Majesty's ship Perseverance, Commander M'Donald, embarked 200 Royal Artillerymen yesterday at Portsmouth dockyard for the West India station. She leaves this morning at daylight for Barbadoes. General Sir W. F. Williams, accompanied by hi Aide-de-camp, Lieutenant-Colonel Teesdale, Colonel Bloomfield, Aide-de camp to her Majesty, and Brevet Major Shaw, yesterday morning inspected Captain Om manney's battery of the 14th battalion Royal Artillery on Woolwich -common. The inspection is preliminary to the battery being given over to the depot of field bat teries, where a reserve is to be kept up to the strength of 500 disposable and efficient men. The gunboats Swan, Crocus, Flamer, Caroline, Camel Savage, Cherokee, anu Confounder, now lying at Depte ford, are ordered to Proceed to Purtsmeutb. Her Majesty's steamer Triton, lately arrived at Wool• wicb from the Bieck Sea and Mediterranean, in com mand of Lieutenant Fletcher, has been paid off. Toe Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Commander Petley, arrived in harbour yesterday after noon from Portsmouth. The Commander-in. Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, went to Spithead on Tuesday, in the Fire queen, tender, Master Commander F. W. Paul, and inspected the Dauntless, 33, screw, Captain Alfred P. Ryder, which ship received her powder and shell yester day afternoon, and sails for the Mediterranean to-day. After having landed the medals for the Turkish army she will proceed to Naples. Additional gun-boats are now building for the Govern. ment, at the yards of Messrs. Pitcher, Northfleet, and Messrs. J. Scott Russell, Mill wall. This fact excites some surprise, as the number of this class of vessels now lying totally useless in the basin positively interferes with the ordinary business of the establishment. The Bustard, 4, Lieut. Commander Collinson, and Star- ling, 4, Lieut. Co - mmander Villiers, screw gun-boats, are fitting atPortsinouth dockyard for service iu China. We are at a loss to comprehend the Admiralty movements with regard to the armament of these useful little craft, or even their sailing advantages. There is not an ama teur in the kingdom, as a cutter or a schooner sailor, but whas knows the advantage of a squaresail-yard in running before the wind, as big as he can possibly set ; yet really the presei.t small squaresail-yards belonging to the Bustard and Starling are bving ; reduced to mop han dles, rendering them perfectly useless. If the Board of Admiralty have confidence in the officers selected to com mand these vessels, it would be only fair towards them that they should be permitted to fit and rig their vessels according to their own judgment. Again, with regard to their armament. Those who have been accustomed to the China seas in chase of pirates knew well how use less, comparatively, is a 32-pounder. It is the crushing 6$ that terrifies the enemy, and makes an impression on man and vessel. Well, then, we have the Raleigh, Cruiser and Highflyer, proceeding to China. Why do not these ships take out 68-pounders for the gun-boats ; Plenty of 32's may be had in India, but very few We also beg to suggest that a new forefoot be added to the Starling. She will have on her voyage out to depend on canvas, and in sailing on a wind more gripe is important to her ; the expense is a mere bagatelle compared with the advantages that would accrue. The Turkish ship of war Payki Zaffer, of 104 guns, Commander Ismail Bey, which arrived at Plymouth on Monday, was visited the next day by Mr. Thomas Were Fox, jun., the Turkish Consul, who was honoured with a salute of nine guns, and who subsequently escorted her commander and two other officers to Mount Wise, where they were received by Port-Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, G.C.8., kc. Arrangements are to be made at the Devon port Dockyard for fitting the Payki Zaffer in the Union Dock with her machinery and a screw, for which she is already prepared, and, in order to expedite the work, the dock will be supplied with gas. Her crew, 550 men, will in the mean time be placed on board a Government hulk in Hamoaze. The engines, of 600 horse power, will be prepared in the Gycle, and sent to Devonport. When this ship left Constantinople she was bound for Liverpool, but on arrival at Gibraltar was ordered to the Royal arsenal at Devonport. She was built at Constanti nople about eight years since, and thoroughly repaired there in 1854. In consequence (1 instructi , ns from the Admiralty, a court, consisting of Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, G C. 8., Commander-in-Chief at PI) mouth ; Rear-Admiral W. F. Martin, superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, and Rear Admiral Sir H. D. Chado , , K.C.8., Commander-in- Chief at Cork, attended by Mr. Grant, Controller-Gene ral of Victualling, wiii shortly ass'emble at Plymouth, to inquire into the manner in which the duties of Capt. Superintendent Joseph Nice, and the other officers of the Royal William Victualling Yard, Plymouth, are per formed ; and also to inquire into the circunisits. , nces which recently took place between Capt. Nias and Dr. Budd, when an application was made to admit some distin guished French visitors to see the establishment. The non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the following depots at the provisional battalion, Chat ham, completed their course of instruction yesterday in the theory and practice of the Enfield rifle, under Captain W. Nott, 83d Regt., and Lieut. A. M‘Leod—viz. :-27th Eoniskillens, 32d, 35th Royal Sussex Regt., 52d Light Infantry, 53d, 60th Rifles, first battalion, 61st, 64th, and 78th Highlanders, with the following officers :—Ensign W. Mangin, 26th I ,Cameronians ; Ensign R. J. Bell, i7th Regiment ; and Ensign F. Schlotel, 81st Regi ment. The whole of the Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry are also undergoing a course of rifle instruction, under Major G. B. Rodney, R.M., and the troops belonging to the Royal Engineers are being trained in the use of the Lancaster rifle by Lieutenant G. R. Lempriere. R.E. The Leander, 50, Captain E. B. Rice (1856) from the Mediterranean station, was paid off at Chatham on Tuesday, and is ordered to be placed in ordinary. DEATH OF GENERAL SIR C. HALKETT, G. C. B. AND G. C. H., GOVERNOR OF CHELSEA HOSPITAL. We regret to have to announce the demise of General Sir Colin Halkett, the gallant Governor of Chelsea Hos pital, who expired at a few minutes before eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, at his residence at the Hospital. The venerable and gallant General had been in delicate health for some months, when, about eight weeks back, he was seized with a very serious attack of gout, to which he had been occasionally subject. The General never thoroughly recovered, but it was only within 24 hours of his dissolution that the termination of his earthly career was found to be rapidly appraaching. Dr. Mao lachlan had been unremitting in his attendance on the gallant Governor, assisted by the deputy-surgeon of the Hospital, Dr. J. C. Ga.ulier, the latter of whom was present at the decease of the General. The gallant deceased was eldest son of Major-General Frederick Halkett, by his marriage with Miss Seton, and was, we believe, in the 83d year of his age. Ho entered the army at a youthful age, as Ensign in the 3d Buffs, and served subsequently in other regiments until he obtained a Lieut.-Colonelcy in 1803. He was then ordered to take part in the struggle in the Peninsula, and was appointed to the command of a brigade of the German Legion, arid during that command took an activ part in the battles of Albuera, Salamanca, Vittoria, and the passage of the Nive, and for his services at which he received a cross. The gallant General was also at Wa terloo in command of the second division of the 2d Corps d'Armee, under the command of General Lord Hill. At that signal victory Sir Colin's division was hotly and he bad four bores shot under him, and also engaged,alsoreeei•ed four wounds, one tbrouh the face, the shot carrying away a portion of his palate, one at the back of the neck, another in the thigh, and one in his heel. Sir Colin Halkett's active military career may be con sidered to have closed with the return of peace. In 1830 h e was appointed Colonel of the 31st Foot, and in 1847 was appointed to the Coloaelcy in chief of the 45th (Not thighainshire) Foot, which becomes vacant by his la mented decease. The gallant General was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Cheheia llospita', but only filled that position a few months when the death of General Sir George Anson led to a vacancy of the governorship of that military asylum, when the Duke of Wellington at once conferred the honourable appointment upon the gallant deceased. Sir Colin having gone through all the minor classes of the Order of the Bath, was nominated a Grand Cross of that noble military order in 1848. He was also a Knight Grand Cross of the Hanoverian Guelphio Order, a Knight (3, - 1 class) of Wilhelm of th • Netherlands, a Knight Commander of theßavarian Order of Maximilian Joseph, and a Knight of the Tower and Sword of Portugal. The late Sir Colin was :parried, and leaves an only son, Captain Frederick J. C. Halkett, of the 71st Regi• inent, and three daughters. Sir Colin Halkett's brother, also distinguished for his military talents during the great European war, holds the high post of Commander. in -Chief of the Hanoverian army. The gallant Generai's commission bore date as follows Lieut.. Colonel, Nov. 17th, 1803 ; Colonel, January Ist, 1812 ; Major. General, June 4tb, 1814 ; Lieut.. General, July 22d, 1$30; and General, Nov, Dtb, 1846, SOUTHWARK. ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Job Chaffey, a young man about 22 years of age, was brought up charged with stealing 12 sovereigns, the property of George Fudger, tanner and leather dresser, Sandford street, Horselydown. Mr. Solomon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr, Neale for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that on the 24th of August the prisoner was in his employ, and bad been some time pre vious. On that day witness had 30 sovereigns in a drawer in his bed-room, and he left home for seven days. On his return on the Ist of September he had some com plaint to make against the prisoner and he discharged him. After he had left his service witness missed twelve sovereigns, which he had left safe onthe 24th of August. From information he had received he communicated with the police and the prisoner was taken into custody. The sou of the prosecutor said that one morning he saw the prisoner in the passage, partly undressed, com ing from the direction of his father's bed-room. He had no business there, as his bed-room was not in that direc tkn. As soon as his father informed him that he had been robbed, he told him of that occurrence. It was also show❑ that the pfigoner had expended about four pounds for furniture, and had given a young female to whom he was about to get married a sove reign, and the latter said that the prisoner told her that he had twelve sovereigns in the bank. The prosecutor was cress-examined at some length by Mr. Neale, and, in answer to questions put, said that he paid the prisoner during the last ten months upwards of 131., out of which he had to pay 11s. a week for board and lodging. Mr. Neale then contended that there was no case against his client, inasmuch as ho bad lawfully possessed as much money as he had expended. The magistrate asked whether he could produce evi dence as to his having the 121. in the bank. If he could do so his opinion would be altered. Mr. Neale observed that be did not consider that was required, as it might have been idle talk with his sweet heart. The Magistrate said that the case was full of suspicion. The prisoner being seen coming from his master's room, and the money being missed, and his possession of so many sovereigns after being discharged, were presump tive evidence against him. He should, under all the cir cumstances, remand him for further inquiry. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at Radley's Hotel, to receive a report from the directors with regard to improving the posi• tion of the company, and extending the line to Armagh ; Mr. Lattimore in the chair. It was estimated that 160,000/. would complete the line, and it was proposed to provide that amount by the issue of 16,000 extension shares of 101. each, upon which 5 per cent. was to be guaranteed as a first charge on the undertaking. The existing shares of the Newry Company would be con verted into 10/. shares, in the proportion of three to each 10/. share, such shares to form a deferred stock, having a second charge on the revenue of the railway, and to be entitled to 4 per cent, per annum ; the sur plus, if any, to be divided between the preferential or guaranteed shares and the deferred shares, so that the former would always have 1 percent. more than the latter. The directors recommended that application should be made to Parliament i❑ the ensuing session to renew the powers for constructing the line from Newry to Armagh. The directors did not expect that more than another ss. call on the old shares would be necessary to clear off all the liabilities of the company. In reply to questions it was stated that the holders of old shares would not be compelled to subscribe for new shares. The Ulster carrying company were prepared to take 1,000 shares in the new capital for making the line to Armagh. The report was unanimously adopted. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con cluded the proceedings. LONVESTOFT AND BECCLES. The general meeting of this company was held at Lowestoft on Saturday ; Mr. R. Leathes in the chair. The directors and auditors having been chosen, the meeting resolved itself into a special one, to authorise the extension of the leasing of the line, and to amalga mate with the East Suffolk. Resolutions were then carried approving of the offer made by Sir M. Peto to extend the lease of 14 years to the term of 21 years, at the same guaranteed rent of 61. per cent, per annum, authorising the directors to nego- tiate the terms of the proposed amalgamation with the East Suffolk Company, and to make application to Par• liament to sanction the arrangement. The proceedings the❑ terminated. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Sept. 25.—Wind this day at noon, W.; fresh breeze and cloudy.
