GREAT GRIMSBY, SHEFFIELD, THE POTTERIES, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. The allusion to the meeting which took place in Man Chester on the 24th of October last with the Committee of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway, contained in the circular of the 3d November, signed " G. C. Holland, Chairman," and addressed to the applicants for shares in the proposed Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, is evidently, from the ambiguity of its phraseology intended to serve a particular purp•se. The proposal for an amalgamation of the two undertakings above named was made by the promoters of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, and not by the Pro visional Dirtetol3 of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway. The latter feel that the adoption of any other course than the one they decided upon on the 24th ult. could not have Pr9Exl otherwise than injurious to the Interest of their shareholders. It Is stated in the circular, that negotiations are now pending, with, every prospect of success, of a nature which must materially enhance', the value of this un d er t a ki ng ; i n rep l y t o w hi c h it is sufficient to state that, whatever the negotiations here alluded to may be, none whatever are pending between the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pot teries, sad Crewe, and Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Comm:ttees.

SECOND EDITION ,i)",flUng LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1845. There are some circumstances attaching to the condition in which this country is likely to be placed—if she be not already involved—by the ascertained deficiencies of the last corn harvest, and the perhaps unprecedented failure of the potato crop—that have no parallel, we are inclined to think, within the memory of living men. When the " famine price," as it is still emphatically termed, which wheat was fetching in the year 1801, was spreading far and wide the empire of actual privation and the panic of apprehended starvation, there were aspects of encouragement in the con dition of other great agricultural countries of Europe which are not to be detected at the present moment. There were no such stringent corn-laws as now exist, and have for thirty years past existed, to scare from our ports the surplus produce, whatever it might be, which the foreign producer, in that period of general Want, could spare for exportation to the market of British consumption. The potato crop, which had already become —and fatally, we repeat—the main staple of Irish sub sistence, proved, by a merciful dispensation of PROVIDENCE, abundant as to quantity and superior as to quality. Though a prolonged experience of all its valuable properties as a substitute for cereal products, properly so called—as a " bread stuff," in lieu of bread —was then wanting, the instinct of ne cavity had made this root most largely nbo t s f yi ta t tp the purposes of the deficient grain. It is now beyond all doubt that mildewed and unripened,wheats, diseased ryes (still more terrible in their deleterious effects upon the human system); germinating barleys (fraught with the influences of that hideous vitality which may be termed " the life of corrup tion," in contradistinction to "the life-sustaining principle"), and all the manifold adulterations of flour, meal, and bran, which the " devilish cunning of human cupidity" has, in periods of scarcity, always been too successful in devising—swept off hundreds of thousands of our unhappy countrymen at that time, from whom the organised vigilance of a much more recently established sanitory system would have averted the untimely fate which the general destitution of wholesome bread conducted them to. The war still closed the ports of some of the principal corn-growing countries of Europe against us, or that destitution would have been far less mis chievous. Yet even then, the ample resources of a sound potato crop rescued not thousands, merely, but millions of our countrymen in Great Britain and Ireland from the disastrous scourge of famine. In 1845 the condition of things is, to some extent, the reverse of that which we have been describing as existing in 1801. The potato crop is a vast and hopeless failure : the supplies of foreign grain have been large, and, under any scheme of corn-laws less absurd or clumsy than Sir ROBERT PEEL'S vaunted sliding-scale, might have been far more abundant and cheap. Let us, for a moment, measure the impending scarcity that now approaches us by the multi tude of those whom it most nearly and directly affects. To do this,—to calculate the intensity of the evil with which we shall have, in the dead months of the fast- approaching winter, to contend—we must multiply the sphere of the suffering experienced in 1801 by the increased number of the masses who will come within its operation in 1845. We have no doubt that that suffering will be more severely felt in Ire lanai than in Great Britain, judging from the scenes which were witnessed in the former country in those several years of scarcity, 1814, 1516, 1822, and 1831. Of course, the rapid progression of her population since the latest even of these dates, although it forms a favourite subject of declama tion and rejoicing at popular meetings, is intrinsically fearful element in the aggravation of the calamity within the verge of which she is already brought. That scarcity, which was all but intolerable to a popu lation of from four to five millions, will be • fearfully destructive, indeed, to it, when its numbers are increased by two or three millions more of human beings, unless that be the fact which no man in his sane senses will venture to infer—namely, that the agricultural production and produc tive industry of Ireland have meanwhile expanded them selves in a similar proportion. But if Great Britain suffered, and was far less exhausted by the deficient crops of the four years we have adverted to, her present relative position is not so much better than than that of Ireland as might at first sight appear. Tried by the same test, the progres sion of population, her danger is truly formidable. In 1891, according to the most careful calculations of the late Mr. RICKMAN and of Mr. Coraluttoux, in verifying the Par- liamentary Census, of the day, the aggregate population of England, Wales, and Scotland, was but 10,943,000. It is, now, at least 22,C00,000. Our Governments, for the period of 30 years which have elapsed since the general pacification of Europe, have been without any excuse for their neglecting to establish the trace in corn on such sound and stable bases as the possible wants, and the occasional actual demands of a population, whereof the tendencies of increase were so extraordinary as in our own, so impera tively demanded. Year afte'r year the " Census" has been so much improved as to leave them in no want of incontrover tible data on which to assume the fact of this gigantic in crease in the native demand of •the two islands for the staples of subsistence. What have they done to secure a permanent and ample supply of these staples? Let us lot be accused of unfairness if we hold Sir ROBERT PEEL, of all men living, responsible for the selfish and unstatesman like anomaly in legislation, which is dignified by the name of a corn-law. Whatever other Ministers may have done or devised, he has challenged this position of unenviable responsibility. But not a brief lustrum has yet elapsed since Sir ROBERT PEEL introduced, expounded, and car ried against all opposition that Act for the regulation of the corn trade upon a" sliding-scale," in virtue of which exorbitant prices for bread have been ever since maintained in this country, and by reason of which the very sources of foreign supply that, had we consented to receive them un burdened with the duties in question, would have completely anticipated the scarcity of the present season—have bean largely dried up by our own act and deed. If we had any wish to signalise the triumph of our own opinions on this subject over the principles advocated by Sir ROBERT PEEL, on those occasions, MI might here repeat his own words on commending his last edition of the sliding-scale to the sanction of Parliament. But it is needless to cite particular expressions from a speech, the sum of which, divested of all the Right Hon. Gentleman's accustomed egoisme and self-laudation, was to challenge for. his plan the power of obviating, as far as human foresight could do so, all danger of deficient supply, and of scarcity prices in future. Ho ridiculed the apprehensions aroused by those who were for either absolutely making the trade in corn free, or for legitimatising imports Of foreign grown wheat at a certain fixed duty per quarter. ' He turned a deaf ear to all remonstrances on the danger which our continued discourage • ment of foreign corn, in order to give the home-grower a mo nopoly of the home market, was incurring of largely diminish ing the cultivation of the wheats grown in the vicinity of the Baltic, and is the countries along the banks of the Vistula. What is now the condition of things with respect to these countries, and the probable demand for their pro ducts before the closing in of the winter? At the moment we pen these lines no Order in Council has been promulgated on the subject of opening the ports; but it is considered in many well. informed quar t ers th a t suc h an or d er must be im mediately promulgated. In the interim, we affirm, without hesitation, that the history of this country does not exhibit a case of mere stupendous and self-convicted failure in the policy of its Ministers than that which has been manifested by the corn-law blundering of the Premier. He has incurred by it a frightful responsibility, and is bound to apply what remedy can yet be administered without a day's unnecessary delay. It is a great relief to persons compelled to read the political discussions of hostile parties, and the articles in French and English journals, so often disfigured by violent and senseless national antipathies, to find now and then something like fair play exhibited, and full justice done to the merits of opponents. We have, therefore, read with moll satisfaction some remarks made by a French journal, the Paris Constitutionnel, on a work just pubished by M. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE, describing the present situation of political parties in England, and estimating the respective characters of Whig and Tory leaders. To Sir ROBERT PEEL full justice is rendered, more, it is admitted, on account of the excellence of his measures than of the questionable means by which he was restored to office. The writer has sketched in a skilful manner a picture of the history of the two last sessions, so full of striking features, whether as re gards the policy of Sir R. PEEL, at direct variance with the opinions of many of his adherents, or the noble conduct of 1 the Opposition, especially that of the Whig leaders, who, in contempt of all the alluremtnts of place and pensions, main tained their:principles with undeviating and honourable firmness. On the latter subject the Constitutionnel justly remarks :—." When have the English Liberals shown themselves great and truly worthy to govern their country ? Was it not when Lord Joins RUSSELL, putting far from him the idea of overthrowing the Ministry, came forward honestly and unconditionally to give Sir ROBERT PEEL the support of all his friends? Was it not when Mr. MACAULAY, resisting the threats of his constituents, declared in Parliament that he would, if necessary, sacrifice his seat, and employ his fu. ture life to sustain a political adversary ?" This is the truth, but not the whole truth. The Liberal party have not only supported the measures of the Conservative leader, by their votes and their speeches, but they have taker no advantage of circumstances to throw obstacles in his way, or stir up opposition from quarters which might have en dangered the stability of his Cabinet. Like men conscious of the integrity of their purpose, and anxious to see the grievances of their country redressed, they have sunk every personal consideration, and strengthened the popu larity of their opponents, both by speeches in Par liament and addresses to their constituents. They have even risked their seats in the House of Commons, be- cause they preferred toleration in religion and justice to Ire land, to the applause of misguided electors, and, above all, to the threats and entreaties, and even the hostility of a vast proportion of the Dissenting clergy, long their avowed and most efficient supporters. We can find no instance in the history of England where a whole party exhibited such proofs of real patriotism, and sacrificed their interests for the good of the community. This is a noble trait in the character of political parties, and forms a gratifying contrast to the selfish opposition made by GREY and WELUNGTON and PEEL to the Cabinet of the persecuted CANNING. But let that pass. We occupy ourselves only with the present position of affairs, and with the altered tone which certain political writers in France display, when alluding to the proceedings of Parliament for the last few years. The, article in the Constitutionnel exhibits sound views and friraidly feelings to wards England, and we, therefore, transcribe with pleasure the fallowing extract as a specimen. Atha- adverting to the contents of M. DE HAUTLINNE'S work, the writer adds : Fives Wh . loWet than oil the vevietts dliy. in moot df tho principal railway shares, especially the Paris and Rouen, a decline has taken place, from a scarcity of money required to meet other engagements. The Paris journals contain a variety of intelligence not without interest. The Jour nal des Debats contains an account, however, from its Macao correspondent, which forms rather an excep- tion. The letter extends to more than five columns, and furnishes details of the ratifications of a treaty be tween China and France, in which we find nothing new respecting the treaty, or the manners and customs of the Chinese. " The ceremony," says the writer, "took place on the 24th October, 1844, near the Bogue, in the village of Tai pin-Hieou, and in the house of the Chinese Admiral who commands the naval forces on the station. The treaty having been signed on board the Archimede steamer, that is to say, according to the laws of nations on the French terri tory, it was by a feeling of just reciprocity agreed that the exchange of the ratifications should be made on the territory of the other contracting party. As the Chinese, however, will never be behind hand in politeness with any body, it was arranged that on the evening before the day fixed for the ceremony, the Imperial Commissioner himself should pay a visit to M. DE LAGRENE, on board the Cleopatre, in the roadstead of the Bogue." Another letter from Macao, of the 31st of August, announces that M. DE LAGRENE was preparing to visit the five ports of the north, and that he will return by Saez to France, where he is ex pected to arrive in April. According to accounts from Paris the rise in the price of provisions began to create alarm. "Provisions," says one of the journals, " are every day becoming dearer in Paris. Po tatoes are now double the price they were a month ago. The price tf other vegetables rises in the same proportion. Poor families are already beginning to feel severely the effects of the bad harvest. If this rise in the price of provisions in creases in the same proportion for only one month, the neces saries of life will become beyond the reach of the indigent." The accounts from the country are of a similar character, and preparations were in progress for relieving the poor in case of a dearth. The Municipal Council of Strasburg, following the example of Mulhouse and Nancy, had voted money for the purchase of 7,000 metrical quintals of wheat in foreign markets. The wheat is to be stored, and should a rise in price take place it will be retailed during the winter to the poor at prime cost. These instance of humanity are honourable to France ; and we therefore regret to find in one of the Paris journals a spirit displayed of such a malignant character, that, were it generally adopted Frenchmen, would excite universal indignation. The Presse, the faithful representative of Queen CHRISTINA'S sentiments, taking for granted that the English Govern. ment is about to throw open the ports, calls on the French Ministry to be on its guard, and prevent the English from coming to France and carrying off food to satisfy their hunger. After some introductory remarks about the diffi culty of regulating the price of provisions, it says : "Ten laws have been enacted on the subject since the year 1841, not one of which has received a definitive solution, as if the most general interests were those worthy of the least attention; and now, in :the midst of that abundance with which Providence has been pleased to enrich us, in the midst of general distress, a measure about to be adopted in a foreign country me naces our security. Will this fact be considered a suffi ciently grave warning for our improvidence ? Our labouring population must have bread and employment. We have, thank God, both one and the other this year. Let us take care of them, and for that reason let us prevent the English from coming to sa. tisfy their hunger at the expense of those gifts which God has re served for us. This is a sad necessity, no doubt, and at which our humanity ought to lament. It would be more chivalrous to sacri fice ourselves for our neighbours, but good policy is not always consistent with chivalry. The French Government aught to take care of the French population, before, it melts into pity for the sufferings with which Ireland is menaced. England is, moreover, sufficiently rich, and has too many modes of acting in the two hemispheres, to be seriously embarassed in supplying the deficiency of her crops. It is not for us, who have only as much as we want for ourselves, to supply her. We repeat, therefore, if the mea sure in contemplation in Englar.d be carried into effect—if England open her ports to the free importation of corn, our Government ought to close ours. It is the right, as it is the duty of that Government." On Wednesday morning the Invalides roused Paris by the firing of twenty-one guns, for the safe accouchement of the Princess DE JOINVILLE, which took place at St. Cloud. The Princess was delivered of a son, who had received the title of Duke DE PENTHIEVRE. The accounts in the afternoon stated that both the Princess and her son were as well as could be expected. According to the Journal des Debats, the Duke of BORDEAUX was about to pay a visit to the Emperor of RUSSIA, at Palermo. We learn from the Marseilles journals that Counts BELTRAMI, Buixcou, PAST, and VITELLANI' Dr. ANDREINI, the Advocate RIENZI, and Signor GRUNDI, chiefs in the late insurrection in Romagna, who bad been de tained in the prisons of Tuscany, have been set at liberty, by order of the Grand Duke, and have arrived at Marseilles by the Levant packet the Sesostris. Such conduct does great honour to the Grand Duke, and is a marked reproof of the wretched system of Government persevered in by the Cour t of Rome The following are miscellaneous extracts from th e ,continental papers : " The State Gazette of Lucerne of the let instant contain, the following:—' Last evening S. Muller, of Stechenzain, confessed that he had assassinated M. Leu with a fowlibg.piece, in which he had placed a carbine bullet. He told where he had hid his wee. pon, which was found where he pointed out. He acknowledged, besides, that he had twice watched M. Leu for the purpose of shooting him. This confession agrees with the result of the official investigation. He declares, also, that he did not act through a spirit of vengeance, but from being promised a sum of money by M. Leo's political enemies. Dr. Casimer PlyWer was arrested immediately, by order of the Judge d'lnstruction. Other arrests have also taken place, and great agitation reigns in the town. Troops have been sent for. The Grand Council is con voked for the sa ;fletft.t. It, is belicvml that this confession was extorted from Muller.' " In consequence of a decision of the Board of Health at Naples, dated the 17th and 20th ult., on the occasion of the Eclair, the entrance of French produce which has traversed the ocean has been refused to captains of our ships. Our Ambassador has thereupon made strong remonstrances to the Neapolitan Government. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Prince de Scilla, made the same answer to N. de Montebello which he had given the day before to the English Ambassador, viz.— `That his Government was an entire stranger to this measure; the Board of Health at Naples, as well as those at Genoa, Nice, Leg horn, Civita Vecchia, and the other ports of Italy, was completely independent.' Notwithstanding this system the Ambassadors per sist, and it is hoped that the Board of Health will submit to the opinion of the King's Government. " The Augsburgh Gazelle has the following from Constanti nople, dated the 15th ult.:—The news from Syria has caused great agitation here. It is reported that the day before yesterday the representatives of the foreign powers met in conference at Count Sturmer's. When M. de Bourqueney received the account of the acquittal of the Druse Chief Abou Neked by a tribunal convoked by Chekib Effendi, his indignation was extreme. He was on the point of requiring an audience of the Sultan to demand that this judgment should be annulled, and if he met with a refusal to make preparations for his departure. The strong representations of his colleagues, and particularly of the Austrian and British ambassa dors, succeeded in inducing him to renounce this determination, that could only have produced serious results, which, under pre. sent circumstances, would not have been justifiable. The position of the French ambassador is peculiar from his having to exercise an extensive protection. There are in bria twelve convents, the Catholic religion having been established there from the time of St. Louis."

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yestert. were 3,000 bales, including 350 Carthaginian at 3d., 150 Alaranham at 5%d., 200 Surat at 2 1 / 2 d. to 314 d., and American at 3d. to 514 d. per lb. The market was steady. Shares were very flat again. In the Third Edition of The Sun of last evening appeared an intimation of the following notice from the Bank of England. It was issued at too late an hour to have appeared in the Afternoon Edition : " The Bank of England has advanced the rate of interest on bills at ninety five days, discounted by them, to 3% per cent.'' Of the importance and necessity of this step no doubt can exist. The Bank Directors wish to make money for their proprietors, as well as provide for any material alteration in the exchanges that may occur, should a material alteration be effected in the corn-laws. Not a doubt is entertained but that some change is imperatively required, and the modus operandi is what is required to be known in the City. There is but one feeling among mercantile men, as to the delay that has already occurred on the subject of the issuing of the Order in Council, as it checks business in many of its im portant branches, and, if much longer continued, will entail many difficulties in conducting operations for a considerable length of time.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The arrivals of English Wheut for our market this week have been on a full average scale; hence the show of sam ples here to-day was good. The attendance of buyers being small, the demand for all descriptions was heavy, at a re duction in prices of fully is per quarter, and very little pro gress was made in sales. Free foreign was held at full prices ; but the amount of business passing in it was very small. Bonded Wheats, though the im porters demanded higher rates, were a mere drug. [he supplies of Barley being considerably on the increase, the trade ruled heavy, at drooping prices. The same obser vations may be applied to Malt. We had a fair show of Oat samples; the best parcels sold at full prices, but other kinds were Gd cheaper. Beans and Peas were dull, and the terms lower. Wheat. 7,190 qrs. ARRIVALS. Barley.

General has transmitted to Lloyd's a list of all the light houses and light vessels on the coast of France to the 10th of September, 1845, which may be seen by mariners on application to the secretary. SHIPWRECKS AND Loss or Lira.—On Wednes day, the 29th ult., the Flora of Kirkcudbright, a coasting vessel, coal-laden, John Jolly, master, and the Akaster of Whitehaven, also coal-laden, William Atkinson, master, left the latter port for the Scotch coast. A storm quickly came on—there was a strong wind from the south-south-west, and a very heavy rain ; and, towards evening, the light on the Little Ross being obscured by the tempest, the vessels were driven forward, and soon after six o'clock they struck on the rugged and dangerous Borgue coast about eight miles west south-west of Kirkcudbright, They were driven on and over some perilous reefs of rocks, and in a little time went to pieces. The Flora had tit() men and a female passenger. The master gbt on to the rocks, and by and by to the land ; and by great exertions the other two reached the land, though At the tithe they did iitit knOvi , but their companion had perished.

Captain Atkinson, who was much cut and bruised, wus con veyed to Rol ie rton, where he also was humanelysheltered and attended to. Captain Jolly, who had been in great danger, after wandering for some time, knew where he was, and reached the house of his brother, when the alarm was given, and a party went in sea rch of the sufferers. The female passenger was much cut and bruised; her name is Carr. She had been at service in Whitehaven, was returning to her widowed mother in Kirkcudbright, and the reticule which contained her money is lost.—Dumfries Courier.

These items included charges for attendance for the purpose of lending money, legacy duty, &c., and the cases cited in point were Hayes v. Trotter, Franklin v. Featherstonhaugh, and Willison v. Hodson. The question involved was one of a purely legal technical character. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAmEs.) LILLY V. CLARE. This was an action to recover the sum of 2L 3s. Oita. for goods sold. The plaintiff is a greengrocer in Buckingh.on street, Strand, and the defendant a lady residing in George street, Adelphi. Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ralph Thomas for the defendant, who pleaded payment. The plaintiff's son, his porter, and bookkeeper were called, and the first two proved the delivery of sundries, but could not fix the price; they, however, mentioned the amounts at the time to the bookkeeper, who entered them, but they did not see the entries made. One of defendant's servants proved receiving some articles at the house, but could not tell the amount. The bookkeeper swore he made faithful entries as the items were named to him. Defendant had been sum moned to the Court of Requests for 11. 19s. It did not, however, appear on what ground the summons was dismissed —all the witnesses, however, were examined—they now ad mitted the bill contained the same items now proved. Mr. HAWKINS said that it was dismissed, as being out of the jurisdiction of the Court. Mr. THOMAS said it was on the evidence of a witness who could not now be found, who deposed to the bill being paid. The SECONDARY said that the jury had nothing to do with what had occurred at any other Court. It was clear the plaintiff was entitled to something, as payment had not been proved. He only knew of entries made at the dictation of another being received in evidence, where the party dictating had an opportunity of seeing that the entries were correctly made.—The jury gave a verdict for the full amount. CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.) A notorious thief, who on this occasion gave the name of Charles West, but who has a variety of aliases, by some of which he has been hitherto convicted, was charged by Mr. Joseph Gibbon, son of Sir John Gibbon, with picking pockets at a fire. Mr. Gibbon deposed that he was present at a fire in the New-road, which consumed three houses, on Wednesday night. An immense mob had assembled, amongst whom the pri-oner was busily engaged plying his vocation of picking pockets. The mode in which the prisoner pursued his craft was artful enough—pretend ing to have been driven by the force of the mob behind, he ran against people's sides, taking care to feel their pockets as he passed, and in case they proved heavy he speedily disburdened them. Mr. Gibbon gave him into custody. Mr. COMBE, after complimenting Mr. Gibbon for his con duct on this as well as upon other occasions, sentenced the prism er to three months' imprisonment. John and Susannah Morris were charged with stealing a spaniel dog, value 2/. 10s. The owner being drunk, the prisoners met him at the Angel tap, and, according to the prosecutor's testimony, stole the dog. They afterwards sold the animal for 11. 15s. to Madame Barlowe, a French lady residing in Old-street, Islington.—They were both committed for trial. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YEsrEnnay.

GREAT J WESTERN BENGAL RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) nanY A general meeting of the shareholders of th is verar- r. was held this morning at the London Tavern , fo r the y?bo pose of obtaining the ratification and confirmation 01,the powers to be given to the representatives and agents " Com; ally in India; Major Morse Cooper in the chair. We observed among those present the following Di rectt : : , —Hon. Captain Gore, John Grant, Esq. ;W. Ant r „_; Esq.; Mr. Alderman Hooper, NIT. F. FitZWillia M, Major Waller, and Captain Hitchins. The CHAIRMAN, before proceeding to business, would en ! ) . mention, as to the affairs of the Company, that they areial,fr most desirable condition. It might seem to some of you 1• 0 ; 1 a we are doing nothing, but with company like this the In, council can alone do anything to favour our objects. this is done we can do nothing more than colle ct our mol,' consolidate our scheme, and have all in a state o f forw to ness to carry out our measures. And we are met to-daY give the necessary powers to the committees and ageolsili, London for the carrying out of these measur es. I °T therefore, submit to you resolutions for this purpose :-- Resolutions were then read to the effect,—First, Thatis meeting empowers the Committee of Management in le u tg , to appoint agents, with the delegated necessary powero, to pay them whatever salary is proper, and if need be, _ suspend them. Second, Empowers the said appoint auxiliary committees, and to give such remaneol2 to any member or members of these auxiliary connitteP__ may be proper. Third, Gives the Conimittee of 141a0efh ment full power to exert or join in the execution of 0" deeds as may be necessary for these measures. ' the These having been moved and seconded by two oi Proprietors present, whose names we could not obtain, ,„a The CHAIRMAN said, before putting the resolutions, he,',o to tell the Shareholders there is a gentleman present in scl l :: e d the Directors have the greatest confidence, who has !I' dge Cottiniittee,.oloo and filled the highest situations in India, whose htt°w` e er o. of the country and the details of its affairs led the ur„,°hipi ment of the country to employ him confidentially. 1° these resolutions will apply. The resolutions were then put and carried unanimonslY',oo The CHAIRMAN—I have the pleasure of introducing t° John Grant, Esq., as the gentleman to whom I have refer as having the entire confidence of your directory. He o et set off for India by the 20 th of this month , and cod'' t hat take farewell of the shareholders. Let me add further, „re of the proceedings in India, with reference to the Con P ea t affairs, your Committee really yet know nothing; bY n eyt o wt mail we may hear of something ; as , however , this i• 5 condition, to talk would be useless. As to the appoint°l of Mr. Grant we are sure you will agree with us. for Mr. GRANT thanked the Chairman and the Committee is the degree of confidence they had been pleased to exPr es , s ot him. I also beg to convey my thanks to the meeting ' OO you have with the same confidence in me, elected me ° ll , 26 provisional committee. I have been a resident in 111(0iti: or 27 years, and very much on the track of this line, a t 9 the country about which lam well acquainted. Th e the most favourable possible in the Presidency. It wonlu d ip premature to say more now, than that, on arriving in I ° of I hope to connect myseif immediately with gentleroellest great influence and knowledge of the country. I again reP my sense of the honour you have done me. Mr. LEGGE—I believe it is understood that the CW ° O a line should go to Diamond Harbour. But it appears Rollo p r ospectus, issued by the Calcutta and St. George's : I ° o o Company, that Company's line is to go to Diamond He instead of St. George's Point. A PROiRIETOR thought this strange. Cor The CHAIILMAN said the Directors are aware the f t he mittee have done their utmost to further the int erest -5° Company, and amid not do more till the subjfct ea stl brought before the Government. The line from P ‘i iner Harbour to Dinapore form another scheme. tainly are the first regisOred. We have, besides, a i' . ,„"01 , in our Company of very great influence in the et,'", or Dwarkanauth Tagore has al; estate extending twell'ics fourteen miles along the line in the Burdwan countrY• A cat are perfectly satisfied with our position; our plans a 0" memorial are already before the Government. t o To a Proprietor, who asked whether the engineers °..dia other Companywere at present out in India, making The CHAIRMAN replied, yes • but this was very unnecr o fiS all India was already accurately surveyed , and as Well ' ll in every corner as the proprietor's own garden. 3 sr Da'es of registration were here compared , what it ; permed this Company was registered on the 14 th of or the East India Railway Company on the 15th of MAP tio i l lg Another PROPRIETOR—Are there not officers 01 4 .t 00t the same duties as those imposed on the gentlemen Or'' by the other Company? CHAIRMAN—No; we consider this would be quit e I d mature; the country is surveyed as well as it can b e ' there was no time lost. Mr. KENNEDY—I have been 32 years in Inida--I4 with the most intimate knowledge of the country. 1 , 6 : t question of surveys, I will remind the Company t•"" thOP Asiatic sovereignties are the landowners of the countrY ; t or their revenue is land-rent. They have Ito , tied' plaints of redundant population; the people are unsetbeir the terror of the sovereignties is, therefore, that, agriculturists will leave them ; and two such soverelg will go to war with each other on this ac e° to, The agriculturists are their slaves. In order, therefo r D icai ascertain their revenue, they must have exact geogreP ibo surveys of the conntry. The revenue officers W e ir is whole, every bush and corner in the country, laid 4 0 0 00 their charts—every soil in every district, red or blame' fig e or dry. The sending out of surveyors, therefore, nol mere useless expense. Those connected with the 0 )113 ,. r ,011 know the country better; and when you consider dial, tbi five shillings are paid on our deposits, the funds °' 11 1 Company, it must be evident, will not allow of this„' A°differing from the procedure of other rail wa y s , I thinbia have done right, and believe the issue will shavr,,,,,f' Mr. Princeps, on our Committee, is a gentleman who se ledge and station entitles his opinion to great weight , $ 1 . ) 00 i4 after a careful consideration of the plan, gave his op io &your of the Bengal line. General Macleod, 1115° , c i on our Committee, though his name app ear-, the list by mistake, decidedly approves of Ott as the be.,t. It has been said to us, that an inundat , P;,/P the rivers hoe lately occurred in the country, overflos ci o le l l extent of fifty or sixty miles to the depth of eves file e ,sti / and from this it is supposed our line will not d0...,0 cannot be made; but this very circumstance applies , L o ol other company's line, and not to ours. It was to Pi o al this, having a perfect knowledge of the country, t_ ll , Col; did not start as we should otherwise have done fro' bar cutta, but went some way up the river, by which We escaped Alderman HOOVER only w: 5 1 ... 1 to correct any outi'''l /1 pressions arising from the nam,-•• of the engineer gait ° the other Company, for though that gentleman's A Stevenson, it is not the celebrated _Robert Stephenson• sots The CHAIRMAN here remarked, that Dwarlw Tagore had been pleased to give them his own PI and surveys, which are already in India ; and " the Governor, and that these surveys extend over ro the line, saving thus much expense to the Comps°, Yf,otbir have sent in two projected lines, one to Dinapore, anatre up the Hooghley, because largeboats must unshipup tl4sf or if not must go round by the Sunderbunds, a very I 1 passage. tt i A PROPRIETOR in the body of the meeting remarke.• he did not see the other Company was any rival- /40," Company had put in two plans, of this he was glad- nt r, should the Government suggest any other line to the " $l ll Company, these lines of this Co;npanywotad still rep-laity' the committee and proprietors life convinced they will be 'liable to the shareholders. f aal To a question by one of the Prop:ietors the C l,l4k db'," said that the shares had been allotted, half` India al l ro 4 to England, 40,000 shares each, and 36,000 , have been .1 upon in England. Mr. JONES urged very strongly on the cvmmitte.ed the remaining 4,000 shares, which the Chaifvfala been reserved, should be allotted to the present: a hare S, Mr. Jones could see no necessity, and thought theteetfio little propriety, be had almost said, honesty, It' xt r t these shares to be allotted, if they paid well, to a " vourites. This called forth a good deal of explanatiout 164- , CHAIRMAN and others. 1 0 ; A PROPRIETOR, who came in late, enquire' „4(19:, had been known by the overland mail, m ad ; ii t ..4 7 on hearing the Chairman could tell him nothing , ~,t " bad several letters.

D AB- 3 11 SPECIAL MEETING OF PROPRIETORS (THIS 00 of _4 l To-day a special general meeting of the proprieterl, o p , line of railway, was held at the Company's Offices, -c: e iter i d square Station, to consider and sanction an I.lgreernel l " t oski ed into by the directors of this company with are dire f b a the Grand Junction Company, for an amalginnalti° ll Aef l9 4 two Companies; and also for the purpose of cor i l;,,rtl, and sanctioning another agreement entered ink directors with the said Manchester and Birmingham - way Company, for an amalgamation. Ite °lll4 The chair was taken at one o'clock precisaly full Carr Glynn, Esq., at which time there was a veryfull • 11 1 of proprietors present. erti se° The Secretary (Mr. CREED) having read the adv calling the meeting, The CHAIRMAN rose to address the Proprietors. 114 he was exceedingly glad to meet with them on that 0.,' „ p i The present meeting was the most important they held, as arrangements would be submitted to their conslopii tion and approval, which, if carried, would enable' the m‘ e 4 pany to stand higher and command a better posit: had ever done before. They would recollect O s ' 1 1 0 1° February last, at a meeting which was th.e11... f0 i4 an amalgamation with the Manchester and 131 1i! ) 1 ham Railway Company was then sanctioned. Abi that had occurred circumstances had happened pr rendered it necessary to alter the terms of union tliet 30; posed and agreed to. He would not on that occasion S." an exposition of the views and motives that had led tß e tev j alteration of the proposal, though, should the prol'Ht./00`; wish it, he was quite prepared to go into an onion.% Fri, the whole affair. At the previous meeting he told T.Li t A l prietors that he was anxious only to make _u!, with the Company, but they refused any fair and n ow arrangement; a view of the question which had 1 1 1 0 ,,.. lost sight of, though were he to go into a detail a i r on it would require a considerable length of time and toP'A nation. The best course would be for the proprietors, tior they think fit, to examine for themselves the Y0h:13_1.05 statement of accounts, which would be open to thur 15", tion. If in February last they saw that it was ne c eit s i to amalgamate with the Manchester and Birminglieo of% pany, it was still snore so now, as since that thug, IT lines had sprung up in every quarter, and i. gbd necessary for them to be on the alert. No doubt, t '"" 0 11 4 many of these projected lines were only traced on paP_VeieY were not likely to be carried out, still they were sn o te t ; to induce them to take steps effectually to protec t the_ ie p ests of the Company. In consequence of the arratig ,"'w" tb proposed to be carried out, he might say 01E 11 4 ; London and Birmingham Railway Company wer e , a cl position to offer the people of Manchester with f 4 7 01 04 traffic terms such as no other Company or body of caPluo could, or that the supporters of any projected line O r 00; any means carry out. He was persuaded no body of talists could be found to maintain a railway in cenrlP` per, with the one he represented, under the arr angerrien ts t d posed, without a loss. In every point of view it i*ro vain for the people of Manchester to expec t t,ll cheapness and accommodation from the lin e o' l were at present supporting in competition, r , the present one. If they went on with es, o' s o they would soon find the competition so great that r t he pectation of profit would be destroyed. It was vain 1, fro; to say that the line they supported could carry.gov,Alei Manchester to the south in the face of their l'"" sP: f P.ny tiory:‘ of rea lisil s , i jr- e •., ti. reglialed 1.1. 1 i l tl I.t. 2 :t:t 1,-pLet to 11,- Arrargement e otu Grand JuheLion Company.

According to the Eco del Comercia, he had been ordered to repair to Albacete, his native place, notwithstanding a favourable audience he had obtained of the Queen-Mother, to whom he had represented that her sister, the late Infanta Dona CARLOTA, had, on her death-bed, desired him to remain with her sons. No reason is assigned for the order. Martial law had been proclaimed at Malaga on the 28th October, in consequence, as appears by a proclamation of General BarroN, of the discovery of some military con spiracy. The Clabo states that Ministers had assured their friends that, previous to the meeting of the Cortes, the nego tiations with the Court of Rome would be brought to a sue cessful issue, the QUEEN acknowledged, and the sale of the Church property sanctioned. The scheme for raising the funds bad suet:Wed, and stocks continued to rise. On the TR
