The House of Lords met at Five o'Clock. The Earl of RIPON brought in a Bill to amend the law relating to Indian appeals. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then directed their Lordships' attention to the scene which had taken place in the chapel of Newgate, on the occasion of the con demned sermon on Sunday last, and animadverted in strong terms on the impropriety of making these con demned sermons a spectacle to which the public were to be admitted by tickets. Lord BROUGHAM concurred in the observations of the Noble Marquis, and said that the City of London endan gered its Charter by permitting these scenes to take place. Lord STANLEY promised to communicate with the Home Secretary on the subject, and assured the House that the Government would do all in its power to put an end to such scenes. The Duke of RIeUMOND suggested that the attend ance of strangers at the chapel of Newgate should be prohibited by Act of Parliament. Lord DENMAN considered the question one of the greatest importance, and thought that the chaplain had exceeded his duty in adverting to the crime with which one of the prisoners who had not yet been tried stood charged. If one of the spectators present should after wards happen to be on the jury, such conduct might produce an undue prejudice in his mind. Lord CA3IPBELL thought if the parties who thus made an exhibition of criminals were indicted, they might be punished. Lord REDESDALE adverted to the communication which had been made to HOCKEB in his last moments that the reporters were present and to his reply, which being interpreted meant that if he had been properly warned, he would have got up another scene. Certain railway returns were ordered on the motion of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at a Quarter before Four. Colonel AUSTIN took the oaths and his seat fur West Kent. On the motion of Sir G. CLERIC, the documents which had been laid before the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade were ordered to be referred to the diffe rent Committees on Railway Bills. In reply to Mr. COLLETT, it was stated by Mr. lIoPE that neither the Bishop of CoLoMno nor the Bishop of NEW BRUNSWICK was paid by the Government of this country. A desultory conversation took place on the subject Of our commercial relations with the Brazils ; in the course of which Sir R. PEEL said that he had before him a document of the Brazilian Government, in the course of which it was stated that all British subjects in that coun try should be restored to the fullest enjoyment of all their privileges. On the Order of the Day being read for bringing up the Report on the Maynooth Endowment Bill, Mr. LAW moved that the Report be received that day six months. This motion gave rise to a long debate, in the course of which the House was addressed by Mr. V. Smith, Lord Norreys, Lord Dalmeney, Sir C. Douglas, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Hindley, Mr. Round, Mr. Brotherton, Mr . Borthwick, Mr. Fox Maule, Mr. Pringle, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, Sir R. Peel, Lord Worsley, and Mr. T. Duneorabe, and ultimately the House divided, when there appeared, fur the motion, 232; against it, 119 ; majority, 113. The report was then received, and the House ad journed at a Quarter to One o'clock. The Swiss Diet on the 22d inst. closed its proceed ings, when the whole of the foreign Ministers left for Berne. It was generally believed that in a few days they would proceed to Lucerne. Affairs are still in a very unsettled state. The following is the address of M. FUNRER, President, at the prorogation of the Diet:— " The extraordinary Diet this day terminates its la bours by testifying its confidence in the Directory, which it has every reason to be well pleased with — it has charged that body with the ulterior execu tion of the decrees which it has passed, and with the duty of providing generally for such matters as press most. It is under the immediate impression of the most afflicting events, and in the midst of the most active fermentation, that the Diet met for the purpose of devising the best means of arriving at the pacification of the country; and for that purpose it judged the aid of imposing military forces absolutely necessary. Now that the moment of separation is come, what regards does it cast on the past —with what sentiments will it look to the future? This high assembly has, undoubtedly, done but little, according to the views of a great number of persons, who, animated with a noble enthusiasm, overleaping the limits of the existing law, would desire to obey only the inspirations d s ympath ies of t.heir own h ear t, an d un j us tl y cons id e r the Diet as an individuality, towh which attributelihothetyheir own , but not atil only mor sen timentsmore, an entire Liberty of will. Th e Di et has, however, performed much, if the real and not imaginary sphere of its possible action be borne in mind, an d i if it be admitted in all confi dence, that it w ill find subm ission a n d su pp or t w h ere it ma y demand it, and a frien dly l and confederal attention where i o t f haugreianttercuuemdtrinof auupfloetaising manner for the benefit of th e w h o l e count The horizon a t present i s ulaa men, and for the pa cificationfar from bein g f ree from thes7c . loud s which are the precur sohyrsthoof asttoermmpesotf passions;thew which st i h e t have been lash e d into fury yetcalmed down. However, th e sale as burst ov er t h e Con . f t e a d ry e rati on, influenceere o n f o t time has contributed, in the sh or t in tervena,sl d an ur x i i n e g tie w s h ; ich it the Diet still continue beenh si tting, to dimini s h men's t o exercise its in fluence, all vio- hearts of fiuence, if the authorities a n d c i t i zens are animated with , the firm determination energetically to p lence directed against legal o r d er , and if the confederated bodies show an inclination to alleviate as much as possible the disquieting conditi on o f so many wretched men. If, as is my firm opinion, the members of this high assembly, composed of influential magistrat es of all the cantons, share in this conviction, and separate with the intention of using every exertion for the purposes I have just stated, I can then venture to hope that the most dange rous crisis is past, and that at the opening of the ordinary Diet we shall be able to regard, the future with greater se curity. Thanking you, gentlenien, for the indulgence with which you have greeted my entrance on the eminent func tions with which my fellow-citizens have invested me, I now declare the Diet to be prorogued iudelintely, " We have intelligence from Lisbon to the 20th inst. by the Peninsular mail. On the previous day the business of the Cortes was brought to a termination. The Bill for the establishment of Savings' Banks, and several other new laws, had received the royal assent. The reports of the Special Committees relative to the finances had been presented to the Chamber cf Deputies, and are entirely in favour of the Ministerial plans. Meetings had been held in different places, preparatory to a general election, which is to take place in May. On Sunday, the 20th, the QUEEN in person closed the Cortes with the usual ceremonies. All the Foreign Ministers were present. The following is her Majesty's speech : " Noble Peers and Senhors, Representatives of the Portu guese nation—At the close of the present session, the last of this Legislature, it gratifies me to give you a public testimo nial of your title to my entire confidence and that of the nation. " The many anil important measures which you have ap proved of, for the maintenance of liberal institutions, of peace, and of order, and those which you have adopted for the organisation of the finances, and for the rendering available of divers fountains of public wealth, will be a living evidence of your devotion to the Throne, and of your solicitude for liberty and the happiness of the people which Divine Provi dence has committed to my care. " Although the labours of Parliament are at an end, it is still your incumbent duty to instruct the people to fulfil its duties, and to obey the laws. I confide in your patriotism and fidelity. "I thank the Chambers for the supplies which they have voted, to enable my ministry to meet the expenses - of the State; and also for the dotation of my much-loved children, the Prince Dom Pedro and the Infant Dom Luis Filippe. I have the satisfaction to assure you of the perfect tran quillity which reigns throughout the kingdom and Ultramar possessions." The session is closed. Madrid journals of the 20th instant have been re ceived. On the 19th the Chamber of Deputies was en gaged in discussion on the supplies for the Finance De partment, when, in answer to a question from Senor LLORENTE, relative to the large expense of the coast guards, the Minister of Finances said great services had been rendered by that body and the Carabineros in pre venting smuggling. Not fewer than 94 feluccas, laden with contraband goods, bad been cap tured by them since February, on the coast of Huelva and Motril. With regard to any alteration in the tariff, he observed, that considering the state of the manufactures, and the serious interests connected with them, he ha I refrained from submitting any reforms t o the appreciation of the Cortes during the present session. The question, however, had been under consideration, and would be brought forward at some future period. The Three per Cents. closed at 35! at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 ;at 60 days ; and the Debt with out interest at 8k at 60 days. Most of the Paris Opposition journals contain articles on the affairs of Greece, to which a brief discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on Friday had given rise. On the motion that the sum of 527,241 f. be granted for paying the half-year's interest on the Greek Loan, M. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE called the attention of the Government to some remarks injurious to France, which had been made in the British Parliament by Mr. COCH RANE, and which Sir ROBERT PEEL seemed rather to approve of than condemn. "At the commencement of the session," said the speaker, "according to the speech from the Throne, and the declarations of the Ministry, Greece was the country where the entezik cordiale was flourishing most vigorously, yet, two months after, the Mavrocordato Ministry was overturned, and the head of the new Cabinet was an illustrious di plomatist well known for his friendly inclinations to wards France. From that moment the hotel of the English Minister at Athens became a hotbed of opposi tion against French influence. It is well known that England rarely disavowed her agents, but the Chamber must hear how the conduct of French agents was spoken of in other countries. In a late sitting of the House of Commons, Mr. COCHRANE, in demanding explanations from the English Ministry relative to the policy followed with respect to England, had alleged that the conduct of M. PISCATORY, the French Minister at Athens, was dis graceful and degrading. Sir ROBERT PEFL, in place of sharply reprehending this improper language, contented himself with replying that it was not within the bounds of propriety to remark on the conduct of a foreign agent. Everybody knew what he meant. Under these circumstances he had to ask the Ministry if it had con sidered the proceedings of the English Cabinet as being in conformity with the sentiments of reciprocity and good feeling which it had asserted were existing between France and Eegland ; he had, in particular, to demand whether the Government was disposed to afford support and strength to the French Minister in Greece ? The question, in fact, was to ascertain whether the influence of France in Greece ought to bz lost, as undoubtedly must be the case if the present state of things was to be maintained." M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the Inte rior, in the absence of M. GUIZOT, said—" The French Minister at the Court of Athens had done nothing but conform to the views of the Cabinet, which gave its complete approbation to M. PISCATORY for his conduct during the changes of Ministry alluded to ; and be was happy to declare this publicly before the Chamber. As to the future, he had to state that the Government would steadily pursue the same course as it had adopted during the time that had elapsed. It would not renounce in any way its influence in Greece, or re sign the part which it was its duty to fulfil. This was all that the Hon. Deputy could expect him to say, fur nobody could suppose that he would proceed to discuss the conduct of a foreign Government, or enter into any explanations relative to words pronounced in a foreign Parliament, not possessing any official character. If he had not entered into any remarks on the conduct of the English agent at Athens, it was because such observations appeared to him inopportune. The essential point was, that the French agent in Athens had defended the policy of France with respect to Greece." After some further conversation on the subject, the grant was agreed to by a majority of 243 to 4. On Saturday M. ALLARD presented the report of the Committee on the Bill for arming the fortifications of Paris, and recommending a grant of 17,000,000 f. far that purpose. M. TRIERS gave notice that on Friday next he would put some questions to the Government relative to the Jesuits. We may therefore look forward to an interesting discussion, as besides M. THIERS, M. DUPIN will probably speak, and open all his wrath upon this intrig uing sect. M. THIERS and his party have judged it expeient not to wait for the discussion of the Church estimates to bring the slit, ject before the public, and are therefore resolved to have a special debate upon the encroachments of the clergy. M. GUIZOT is much better, and on Saturday had an interview with the KING. The Revue de Paris says:— "The health of the Minister for Foreign Affairs is not so encouraging as the organs of the Cabinet proclaim. M. Guizot, we are happy to announce, is not dangerously ill, but his recent indisposition has had sufficiently serious consequences to make him feel the necessity of repose. Should he not proceed to Vichy, as we were told, he will certainly repair to his estate at Val de Reciter. We have even been assured that he would not appear in the Chamber before his departure. His intimate friends and family advise him to take advantage of his situation to resign his portefeuille. ' You have shown,' they say, •your condescension towards your party in yielding to the en treaties of the deputies of the Lemardelay meeting; now, you owe it to those who love you not to compromise your health any longer in the service of a cause which may be said to be almost desperate . ' " The Funds fell on Saturday, owing to a rumour on the Bourse that M. GurzoT had obtained from the KING leave of absence for two months. THE BOURSE—SATURDAY. APRIL 26. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, APR.I._ L 29, 1845. functionary, so engaged , was shot in the shoulder by his judicial amusement, the weapons being fowling pieces ! A an tagonist, in cne of the Southern States. At New York business is described as being very active, the spring season being usually the most busy. A good deal of speculation had bsen going on in corn. Cotton, on the contrary, was not in much demand—the market quiet. The exchange on London was high-1001f to 110. From Canada there is nothing new. The session was about to close. ARRIVAL of the INDEPENDENCE.. SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL MONDAY, APRIL 28. Another arrival from New York, the Independence, Captain Allen, with advices to the morning of the Bth, being seven days in advance of the vessel which came up on Saturday, arrived here to-day. The most important news by this arrival relates to the affairs of Mexico. The Minister of that country had left New York, and taken shipping for Vera Cruz, and he openly proclaimed his belief that a rupture be ta een the two countries was inevitable. The tone of the Mexican journals is very bitter towards the United States, and the American President, alarmed at the position of affairs, had dispatched a person to that c( untry fur the purpose of ascertaining whether diplomatic relations could not be renewed. The party alluded to does not go in an official character, and the American Government may either disavow or ac knowledge his agency, according to its success or other wise. This is the gossip at Washington. The news of the resolutions having passed the Ame rican House of Representatives had been very coolly re ceived, it will be remembered, in Texas. Since then, the fact of the measure having passed the Senate, and received the signature of President Polk, had reached that country, and great was the joy of the people thereat. The city of Galveston was illuminated, a salute of 100 guns was given, and other demonstrations of popular sympathy took place. All this contrasts strongly with the previous accounts which represented the bulk of the Texians as being either indifferent about, or opposed to, the annexation. Con gress, however, was on the point of meeting, to discuss the terms proposed by the United States, and nothing definitive will be known until the proceedings of that body reach us. Dispatches from the British Government to our Minister at Texas had been received ; and the New Orleans papers, in noticing the circumstance, presume to know all about their con tents, and give utterance, in consequence, to a great amount of nonsense. The trial of Santa Anna had not taken place, but was on the eve of doing so. He was to be tried by both Houses of Congress, and intended to make his defence in writing. A rumour was current that he had escaped from prison, and had fled the country. Lord Metcalfe, in closing the Canadian Parliament, referred to an Act which passed the United States Congress in the last session " which may seriously affect the interests of the province." The subject had been submitted, he says, to the Queen's Ministers, and will receive their earnest attention. The business accounts by this arrival are encouraging. At New Orleans, the activity in cotton continued. The rate of exchange at New York on England was 1094. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert lift town at ten o'clock yes terday morning, in an open carriage and four, escorted by a party of the 4th Light Dragoons, for Claremont. Her Ma. jesty and his Royal Highness were accompanied by the Princess Royal.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. I\_ NEWMARKET, MONDAY AFTERNOON, 4 O'CLOCK. The arrivals since our last parcel was forwarded have been incessant, and with the additions that may be looked for this evening, will, we doubt not, realise our anticipations of a full and brilliant meeting. Most of the visitors met last night at the reading of the list, with what object it is difficult to com prehend, unless by a few small bets at evens and 6 to 5 on Idas, and 8 to 1 agst Cataract,. they proposed to show that if the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes is a certainty, the Chester Cup is not; of regular betting we never heard so little, although the doors were not closed until after midnight. The racing this afternoon, not withstanding the transfer of the Minotaur and Pine apple match to Tuesday, has been quite up to the mark in quantity, although, it must be admitted, not calcu lated to excite any interest beyond the moment. An early commencement being indispensable, the Plate was run for at twelve o'clock, in the presence of a large and fashionable company, the weather favourable, and the course in good order. Leaving two matches of minor importance for our next, we subjoin the customary returns of the racing up to four o'clock :- 504 for four yrs old, 7st 101 b ; five, Bst 91b ; six and aged, 9st.

We have received by the packet-ship Europe New York papers of the Ist instant, only one day later than the last arrival. The intelligence is of little importance. The papers are engaged in discussing the question of peace or war with Mexico, arising out of the Texian question, and the writers fear that, in the event of arms being resorted to, the commerce of'the United States will suffer by the privateer ing system, in which the shipping interest of the principal maritime nations in Europe are likely to engage, as a matter of self-interest.

Guizor drove out in his carriage on Friday to the Bois de Boulogne, where he walked for some time ; and adds, that the general state of his health was most satisfactory. On Saturday he paid a visit to the King. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, M. Dozon brought forward his proposition for preventing, by fine and imprisonment, the practice of duelling, and asked the Chamber to appoint a day for his bringing the matter before it formally. The Minister of Justice opposed 1134 proposition, on the ground that the common law was sufficient for all the purposes which the Hon. Deputy sought. Letters from Romagna announce that the military com mission sitting at Ravenna had condemned to death three political prisoners, and a number of others to the galleys. Among the former was a young man, under eighteen years of age. The Commission on the railway from Tours to Nantes, and from Paris to Strasburg, is composed of Messrs. Richond des Brus, Gillon, Larabit, Dutier, Combarcl de Leyval, Hallez, D'Hunolstein, General Paixhans, and De L'Epee. The Com mission is favourable to the scheme, two only of the members, Messrs. Larabit and Conibarel, are opposed to it. The Legislative Chamber of Portugal was prorogued on Sunday, the 20th, by the Queen in person, preparatory to a dissolution. The Swiss Diet on the 22d inst. prorogued its sittings in definitely. The whole of the diplomatic corps left Zurich for Berne after the day's proceedings. The following is the distribution of the Mediterranean fleet, according to the accounts from Malta of the 15th of April :—At Malta, the Formidable, 84, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir E. W. C.

The Smaphore de Marseilles contains a letter from Con stantinople of the Bth inst., stating that the affairs of Greece continued to occupy the Divan. Chekib Effendi had lately addressed a note to the representatives of the three protecting Powers, in which he set forth the complaints of Turkey against Greece, and declared that if the latter continued to menace the peace of the neighbouring Ottoman provinces, the Porte would be under the necessity of adopting energetic measures and stationing corps of observation alone the Greek frontier. This note was forwarded to the Ministers of Eng land, France, and Russia in Athens, by whom it was sub mitted to the Hellenic Government. Coletti gave the three Ministers the most satisfactory explanations, which con vinced them that the apprehensions of the Porte were un founded. According to a letter from Constantinople, Russia is making great exertions to increase the Circassian army to the amount of 180,000 men. 100 transports 2re to be col lected in the Black Sea, for the transport of troops and stores, and the command of the whole force is to be given to Count Woronzoff, the Governor of the Crimea. This army is, it is said, to be concentrated at Sebastapol and Stavropol, to operate by sea and by land. COURT-r.asinoNAnx.E. Lord and Lady Brougham had a grand dinner party on Sunday at his Lordship's residence. in Grafton-street. The Heteditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz honoured the Noble Lord and her Ladyship with his company on the occasion, and among the other distinguished personages present were—The Duke de Broglie, the Austrian Ambassa dor and the Countess Diestrichstein, the Hanoverian Minis ter, the Dutch Minister, the Duke of Wellington, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, and the Hon. Colonel Dawson Darner. The Duke of Richmond left Portland-place on Saturday for Goodwood. His Grace, with the Duchess and the Ladies Gordon Lennox, is expected to return to town for the season in the course of the present week. Prince Albert de Broglie left the French embassy late on Friday evening for Paris, charged with dispatches for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. _ Viscountess Palmerston had a grand ball last evening at her Ladyship's mansion on Carlton House-terrace. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, honoured the Noble Viscountess with their company on this occasion. Among a distinguished party who visited the Great Britain steam-ship on Saturday, were the Marquis of Normanby, Lord Brougham, Lord Lennox, Lady Essex, Mrs. Montgo mery Martin, and Mr. Young, of the Treasury. Most of the party afterwards dined at Lovegrove's. IVIISCELLILNEOUS. This being the season for the introduction of the summer fashions from Paris, the steamers from the Continent are-bringing a very large quantity of silk and fancy goods over, of every character, value, and' description, for the supply of the shops of the metropolis, and to enable them to put forth an attractive show of novelties usual at this time of year. The great influx of these articles lately has had the effect of causing a great deal of business to be.going forward at the quays and warehouses adjoining the Custom ' house, and the revenue officers, who, from their greater capa ..city or more extensive knowledge of the value of these va riable descriptions of merchandise, are placed on these sta tions, have been very fully employed. The foundation-stone of the Royal British Orphan Asylum was laid at Devonport on Wednesday. Earl Fortescue, as Provincial Grand Master, came purposely from Ireland to attend the ceremony. The Committee of the Foundling Hospital are gratified in announcing the receipt of the very handsome donation of 2501., through the medium of John Francis Maubart, Esq., Ralph Ricardo, Esq., and David Haes, Ez,q., trustees of the Children's Friend Society. 2001. of this sum is to be applied to the general purposes of the hospital, and the remaining 50/. to the benevolent fund lately established for the relief of aged or distressed persons brought up in the hospital. THE BISHOP OF EXETER'S VISITATION.--A resident of Plymouth has called our attention to the rather singular fact, that although the Bishop has fixed upon a day for visiting all the other places in the diocese, he has not named one for his visit either to Plymouth or Totnes. The circum stance is the more remarkable, from the Bishop's well known antipathies—we hope his Lordship is not going to deprive us of the honour of his company, even fur a day.—Plyntouth Journal. HUNGERFORD SUSPENSION -BRIDGE. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by th e E arl of Devon, the Hon. Mr. Anson, and the Directors and officers of the Company, together with a few ether gentlemen, passed over the above bridge on Saturday last, for the purpose of inspecting the works previous to its being opened to the public on Thursday next. His Royal Highness appeared much pleased with the structure, and particularly examined the improved registering turnstiles, which have been manufactured upon an entirely sew principle, by Messrs. Stephens and Son, of the Southwark-bridge-road. DISEASE AMONG GROUSE.—In many places some disease of a destructive character is prevailing among the grouse. They are dying by hundreds. By the sides of the streams they are often found lying dead in pairs. Some are imputing the disease to the great quantity of corn they ate in the autumn ; others to the want of nourishing food. The heath and bent were badly seeded last season, and the birds now eat large quantities of the dry husks, and imme- diately fly off to the water, where they drink and die.— Elgin Courant. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had meeting on Saturday afternoon. There were present the Bishops of London, Winchester, Chester, Hereford, Lichfield, and Worcester. . The commission recently appointed to inquire into the expediency and usefulness of remodelling and redistributing the circuits of the judges in England and Wales, have already, we hear, come to the determination of r, commending to Government the division of the present Northern Circuit into two. Manchester and Liverpool, with their satellite towns, are, it is proposed, to form the new circuit. The commissioners have, moreover, we are informed, agreed to advise the Crown to create a new court of common law at Westminster; and for that purpose to withdraw two judges from the courts of Common Pleas and Exchequer, and to appoint two additional judges. These recommendations can scarcely fail to meet with the general approval of the profession and of the public.—Chronicle. TRANSFER DAY.—In the course of the proceedings before the county magistrates, at Evans's Hotel, on Saturday last, a special application was made by Mr. Childs, on the part of Mr. Newhouse, proprietor of the Horse and Groom, Maiden-lane, for a renewal of the license of a house known as the Amphitheatre, situated in Newcastle-street, Strand, of which he had also become the proprietor. It appeared, from the statement of the applicant's solicitor, that the house belonged to Messrs. Richmond and Co.; that the late landlord, a Mr. Christian, had become bankrupt, and the trade assignee haning neglected to apply for the license on the part of the creditors, tt had been refused, and the house had been for some time closed. After some discussion, and it being Shown that the new proprietor was a respectable licensed victualler, the application was granted. CONSTABULARY FORCE IN IRELAND.—From a re turn issued by order of the House of Commons on Saturday, it ap pears that the effective strength of the force in that country on the Ist January last was 9,193 men in the general force, and 288 horses; there being also a reserve force of 20 3 men and 22 horses. The total expenditure for 1844 was 443,3921. 14s. 2 501.

YORK AND CARLISLE, AND DURHAM, WESTMORE. LAND AND LANCASHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. - Op Wednesday last, a meeting of the provisional directors of the York and Carlisle, and Durham, Westmoreland and Lancashire Junction Railway, was held in Kendal. Among the gentlemen present there were, we understand, Sir George Musgrave, Bart., of Ed en h al i ; Mr. Howard, of Greystoke Castle; Mr. Head, of Rickerby Hall, Car lisle ; Mr. Salkeld, of Croft House, Penrith ; Mr. Wakefield, of Sedgwick ; Mr. W.

An executive Committee was appointed to have the management of the affairs of the Company, and to allot the shares. It was stated that the applications for shares were im mense—and a limit was placed upon the number of shares that anyone party could receive, in order to prevent speculation, and to ensure their extensive distribution. We understand that the Durham and Lancashire Junction Railway is now amalgamated with the York and Carlisle Company, and all the companies affected by the new line cordially co-operate with it, viz., the Lan. caster and Carlisle, Stockton and Darlington, and Great North of England Railway Companies.
