T REGISTRATION. MIDDLESEX. IMPORTANT DECISION. --RIGHT OP SHAREHOLDERS OF A BUILDING SOCIETY TO VOTS. Yesterday Lancelot Shadwell, Esq., held his court at the Green Man, Bethnal-green, to revise the parish lists of the district. Mr. James and Mr. Fetch attended as agents for the Liberal party, and Mr. Payne for the Tories. Richard Henry Ashford claimed for share in eight fteehoid houses, which share is of the annual value of 40s. and upwards. Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, Cooper's-gardens, and 5,6, and 7, Little Manchester street. The claim was objected to by the Tories. Mr. James stated the facts of the case, and supported them by putting in a deed of settlement, and the con veyances of the several properties. He said that twenty-one persons entered into a deed of settlement or Sgreement to pay into the treasurer's hands two shillings and sixpence per week, to a society to be called " The House Property Association," the object of the association to be, to purchase or take freehold hereditaments for the purpose of repairing and letting the same for the equal benefit of the membors, and the proceeds arising from the joint stock to be collected and received and added to the capital in accumulation for the benefit of the share hol,ler:, or divided, as they might agree. It appears that in the ye :r 1833 the fund had enabled them to purchase a freehold estate, again in 1842, and, on anotherdate, a third freehold estate, which was purchased with the moneys of the society, and conveyed to five trustees, in accordance with the deed of settlement, the purchased property now yielding to each shareholder eighty shil lings and upwards per annum. And Mr. James con tended that, although it was conveyed to trustees it was purchased with the moneys of the claimants, and they had an equitable interest in the estate, sufficient to entitle them, under the statute of 8 Henry VL, cap. 7, to the right to vote; and in support of his argument quoted the de cision of the Common Pleas, in the case of Baxter, ap pellant, arid Newman, respondent, decided last May. Mr. PAYNE contended that they were not in the abso lute receipt of the rents, and therefore the names could not be retained. Mr. Ashford was examined, and proved that if the aharehollers wished it they might receive the rents, in ste id of allowing them to accumulate. The COURT said it was clear the claimants had an estate hi equity, and that sufficient value had been shown to entitle each to vote. Nineteen had been shareholders more than twelve months. He should, therefore, decide their claims to be good. It was clear these persons joined their stock together to reap an advantage from the rise in the value of the property they might purchase, and he saw no /Ejection to it. The other two names were struck off. This decision will induce shareholderi of building societies to claim to vote, and will place it in the power of the wor king classes to obtain the franchise with their savings. The result of the day's revision was a majority in favour of the Liberal party of 143, making a total ma jority up to this time of 832. POTATO ROT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • Sir.,—The anxiety caused by the above-named epi demic cannot; fail to draw the attention of every friend of I,nTaiii!y. I, therefore, need offer no apology for ofFertiig a suggestion, which may probably be of the utmost importance to millions of our fellow- creatures. Upon exandnation by the microscope , the disease in dig potato appears to m e to be caused by an insect re iembling fate acarus tribe, which first % burrows under the akin, and then extends its ravages to the heart of This ra,st useful tuber. From this view of the subject, I am induced to suggest to your agricultural readers the reeesity of gettlng their crops out of the ground as quickly as potbihle—to give the potatoes a good washing lu Line-water roixcd with sulphur—a thorough cleansing eoU spring; water being premised, in order to free em i r cra all remains of soil, and allow the former Bp /A:cation to of at and destroy these destructives. By Tam led to hope that the further these simple means .1 7 progre:s of the disease be arrested, which other wise will no doubt continue to prograss after the potatoes Itre housed and pitted.—l am your ob E. edient seHrvant, W. OWEY. -Bromyard, Sept. 29, 1845. T i ng IRON TRADE —The usual preliminary meet ing or the iroimasters of South Staffordshire, preparatory meetings, was held at Dudley on to the gcneral quarterly Th urs thw a st ; and was very . numerous ly . attended. . The Frocee di•o gs o f :-.l‘esto preliminary meetings are considered .state generally that the actual strictly - private ; but W",:' 1111 0 7 coOrmation of the late ad -business resolved itself into . 4 the( soils of manufac vance of 20s. per ton upon b ar anu n arent, from what trans tured iron. It was, however , app _ pired, that, though prices w ere thus fixed, there 748 4 yery etr ong feeling that anoth e r advance would shortly take pi,,..." owing to the immense demand forrailway iron ; and some of the largest ironmasters present expressed their determination r.o limit sales at the existing rates. It remains to be seen wl:atber any further rise will be declared at the quarterly meetings next month. Most of the ironmasters, we under stand, complain of being too full of orders.—Birmingham 1011/1 1 CcIDVNT BY GUNPOWDBR.—Yesterday evening, I,etweou live and six o'clock, an accident occurred to a youth ten yeas of age, named Searle, residing at Hop - garden? , St. liartith;-lane,by an explosion of gunpowder. The boy, in -coral:any with several companions, had purchased a quantity of gunpowder, and rolled some of it up in brown paper, very tight, f<<r the purpose of making a loud report. The boy procered a light, and holding it to the paper, it immediately c pie& , and shattered his right arm nearly to the shoulder. The report and screams of the unfortunate sufferer brought juimeeiate resistance, and he was removed to Charing-cross ilospital, %Viten., on his admission, amputation of the arm -was obliged to be performed. SDEFRNESS, S> ir PT.27.—An accident, which had well nigh terminate d,in the destruction of all concerned, oc curred in the dockyard yesterday afternoon. A party of ipµ fights am l labourers, to the number of from twenty to twenty-five, employet on the Fury steam-frigate now build by ta4: and jute work, were about laying down a "shelf piece," a large plank of English oak of nearly a ton in weight, which they had conveyed to a stage erected for planking the t i sides of the vessel, when one of the wooden supporters of the ft+ tage gave way, and the planks of which it was composed snapped like a reed and precipitated eight or ten of the fore 'nest men, very fortunately not to the bottom of the slip, but to a stage about fifteen feet below, on which another party svcre employed planking the vessel. Had they fallen to the bottom of the silp, all must have been killed. Another for tunate incident in the catastrophe was, that the stage which gave way was above the wall shores which support the vessel on her keel, and thus the immense shelf-piece and the greater number of the planks which gave way slid harmlessly away from those employed under. As it happened , ho wever, it was serious enough ; for, although there have been no broken bones, ten men have received several severe wounds and Lruises, which it is feared will incapacitate them from work fer some time. Of the men e mployed under, only one re ceived any considerable injury, the rest having escaped by the supporter giving way. naming aw a y when hearing PASTS ACADEMY 05' SCIENCES, SEPT. 22.—An immense number of communications on the disease of the potato were ennouuced at this sitting. Amongst them was one in which the name of M. Clerget, the inventor of a new prece , s for making potato flour, was particularly mentioned. Nearly all the papers concur in declaring that the disease with which the potato is affected is not poisonous. M. Cler get has at this moment before the Academy some specimens of his production, and we think we shall render a service to the public in stating the object of his invention ; for if the potato crop has been a failure this year in some parts of Europe, there are others in which it is rich both in quality and quantity, and it is desirable to show to what important rises this vegetable may be applied. Everybody knows that large quantities of starch flour are made in France from the potato, and that it is much used in domestic economy; but this flour is unfit for panification, and by the peculiar pro cess that it undergoes, the taste is far from agreeable. The iloar made by M. Clerget contains not merely the starch, but also tins Libre of the potato, with its bran; it is free from un pleasant taste; it will keep for several years where the best -,ylie2tti flour would decay or materially deteriorate, and m ade into bread or bisc uit it is light of digestion, and exceed ingly nutritious; mixed in the proportion of one part potato flour to one part of wheaten flour, the bread is better than if made from the flour of wheat exclusively, and is about 30 per cent. cheaper. The flour obtained by M. Clerget from the p,tato is equal to nearly one-third of the entire mass, namely, 20 per cent. of the starch principle, and 10 per cent. of the bran and fibre. His process is a scientific application of the old woman's process of mixing potatoes in the making .of bread. This is well known. The potatoes are first boiled, then dried before a tire, and rubbed up with the wheat flour. M. Clerget produces the same result in the form of flour, omitting all the extraneous and useless portions of the vege table, and providing for commerce on a large and improved scalea means of subsistence as cheap a s it is wholesome.— • M. Blot made another cOmmunication on the polarisation of light, but it adds nothing material to what has already been wated on this subject.—M. Geoffroy read to the Academy the instructions prepared by a Committee for the scientific voyage to Bresil and Mexico of M. Felix d'Arcet. They are very comprehensive, for they comprise all the various ques tions of . geology, zoology, medicine, agriculture, and che niistry. A FIGHT AT • CHAPEL.—A. regular row occurred n n Bunday morning last at the Primitive Methodist Chapel, D a wgreen, Dewsbury, in consequenbe of one of the mort gagees (who is Also one of the trustees) having sold his mort gage to another sect (it is said the Baptists), and engaged to giie possession to their preacher on Sunday morning last. This having got to the ears of the other trustees and Sun day-school teachers, they secured the keys of the chapel, and on the arrival of the minister and some friends an attempt was made to obtain them by force, which was the cause of a general row. It is said as many as seven battles were going .on at once out of doors, besides the tumbling over forms, &c. in the school, the children running screaming home, and the teachers eventually ejecting the intruders. The chapel was not opened for service until the afternoon, when all went quietly on as usual, and the concern is now put into the hands of the lawyers.—Habicer Guardian. NOVEL EXPERIMENT WITH MONSTER FIRE BAL LOONS.—Three monster fire-balloons were let off from dif ferent parts of the metropolis by Henry Wells, Esq., editor of she E'rostatic Magazine. By means of an ingenious con trivance three thousand bills were distributed from them in various lots, which passed through the atmosphere in a most amusing and extraordinary manner, resembling as closely as possible the descent of an immense flock of birds. Mr. Wells tested successfully an invention of his for the purpose of extinguishing the fire when the balloon is in theair,soas to prevent dangerous consequences at the descent. The bal loons were constructed of ornamented silver paper thirty six feet in circumference. TiiE MOORS.—G Sir H . Menx, M r .

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 26.—The August ships are arriving together in London, and as the cargoes they being are large, the trade there are holding off, expect • ing some reaction in prices when these are ready for the .market ; this cause has also made us quiet here this week, • and the transacti els have not exceeded 500 hhds., but at fully former prices ; we have very little more direct supply w expect here this season, and consequently importers show much firmness. Refined goods are rather dull, and pur chaseg could possibly be made on easier terms than was practicab!o last week—Bristol Mercury. THE CORN-TRADE. (From the Mark lane Express.) By the official account just published, it appears that the stocks of Grain, Flour, and Pulse under lock in the United Kingdom were as follow, on the sth instant : Wheat 444,4081 Aga inst which Wheat ......330,893 Barley Oats the sth of Sep- Rye 86,874 Rye ••• - I tember, 1844, 2,546 Beans 4 11 : 0 42 1 0 3 j . in bond . • Beans ...... ... 4,810 Peas The difference in the quantity of wheat on hand is not very great ; but it must be borne in mind, that at this period last year, one of the most abundant crops gathered for years had just been secured, whereas at present a proportion of the harvest is still abroad, and that part saved is of decidedly inferior quality, besides being defi cient in quantity to the acre. What might then have been considered a good stock cannot now be regarded as such, and unless the reports of the indifference of the yield are greatly exaggerated, and the failure in the potato crop proves much less extensive than it is represented to be, we shall unquestionably require an extensive impor tation from abroad. It therefore becomes a matter of interest to ascertain whence assistance, in case we should require it, is to be had. Over a large portion of conti nental Europe the result of the harvest has been more inauspicious than in Great Bri:ain, and stocks of old wheat having previously been reduced into a very narrow compass, it would not be an easy matter to secure important supplies without paying high prices. Dantzic is nearly!the only place in the Baltic where any great quantity of wheat is held, and there the total amount falls materially short of 500,000 quarters. At Rostock, Stettin, and most of the other Lower Baltic ports, the old wheat seems to have been completely ex hausted, and there will hardly be time before the setting in of winter for supplies of moment of the new crop to be brought forward. Holland and Belgium have for some time been drawing supplies from the Baltic, to say nothing of the shipments of bonded wheat from Eng land to those countries. It appears, therefore, that be yond what may still reach us from the Canadas and the United States of America, and a moderate quantity from Dantzic, no material assistance can be expected from foreign conntries until the spring of next year. Under these circumstances it is not to be wondered at that holders of parcels in bond here should have raised their pretensions, more particularly as a fall in the duty may, after the important advance which has recently taken place in prices of English, be reckoned on with some degree of certainty. The reports which have reached us since our last, re specting the progress made with the harvest in the north, are not of a character to allay the excitement previously felt on the subject. The heavy rain which fell up to the 21st instant was succeeded by dry, but unusually cold weather. Sharp frosts were experienced on the nights of the 22d and 23d instant, and though the temperature has since risen, the shift of wind to the southward threatens a return of wet. The interval of dry weather has hitherto been of too short duration to admit of much corn being carried, and the extreme cold has prevented that not before ripe making much pro gress towards maturity. It is, therefore, feared (and not without reason) that the more backward parts of the kingdom may fare even worse than the south; and as the reports of the yield from the forward districts do not by any means improve as thrashing is proceeded with, the estimates of the results of the harvest become daily more discouraging. These considerations have had their effect on the minds of sellers as well as buyers, and, with a greater inclination to purchase, less disposition has been manifested to sell. The upward movement has, consequently, continued, and at some of the princi pal markets materially enhanced terms have been paid for wheat. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, a great deal of excitement prevailed, and important bargains were closed at very high terms. Not only was free wheat quoted 6d. to 9d., and bonded 6d. to ls. per 701 b. higher than on that day week, but all other articles rose in nearly the same pro portion. Flour of British manufacture rose 4s. per-sack, and foreign 2s. per barrel, whilst eats, barley, beans, and p,.as, as well as oatmeal, met a ready sale at advanced t( r:ns. Later in the week holders raised their preten s' ,as still further, and good qualities of wheat, whether -',-( e or in bond, were on Friday held 2d. per 701 b above Tuesday's rates. The advices from Hull of Tuesday, though not so ' - .ly as those from Liverpool, are, nevertheless, of a cidedly firm character, and the business done there in • heat was at prices 2s. to 3s. per quarter above those rrent on that day se'nnight. A similar enhancement as also paid at Leeds on Tuesday, with rather a lively !airy for the article. At Wakefield, on Friday, the siness done was not very extensive; the advance of 2s. 3s. per quarter demanded being paid with reluctance. The reports from the western and north-western -ate of the kingdom are of a very firm tone. At Bris i, on neesday, F old wheat was quoted 4 5., and new 2 s. or quarter h than on that day week, and both igne orts were in fair request. The Birmingham market, on tie same day, was well supplied with wheat ; notwith tending which, prices 3s. to 45. per quarter above those f that day se'nnight were realised. In the agricultural districts the advance has been luite as great as at the chief consuming towns, and at he principal shipping ports on the east coast a good deal 'f business has been done at rates . from 2s. to 4s. per quarter above those previously current. A week or two must elapse before these high sales eau come into the returns, and it is probable that the duty may advance a step before it begins to recede; ulti mately a much lower duty may, however, be expected. By our Scotch advices we harp that harvest opera tions, which had been interrupted by the heavy rain that fell between the 16th and 22d, had again been actively resumed ; it will nevertheless, require some weeks of dry weather to get in what is still abroad. The lively reports from the south had caused sellers of wheat to demand materially enhanced terms. At Edinburgh, on Wednesday, the article rose about 3s. per quarter, and at Glasgow the rise amounted to 2s. 6d. per boll, being equal to ss. per quarter. Much anxiety was felt there to ascertain in how far the potato crop had been injured by the disease so prevalent in England, but as nothing very positive is stated on the subject, we are inclined to think that the mischief is not great in that part of the kingdom. From Ireland the complaints in regard to this matter are, however, becoming general ; even along the west coast, where the crop was previously stated to have escaped injury, the root has, it is stated, been discovered to have been attacked. In the southern parts of the island the bulk of the grain bad, we are informed, been got in, and even in the north the fields were fast being cleared. On the whole, we are disposed to think that the harvest will turn out better in Ireland than on this side of the Channel. The rise in the English markets bad had the effect of causing an ad vance in the value of both wheat and oats. The arrivals of wheatcoastwise into London have been rather liberal, 8,401 quarters having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening. Of this quantity a large portion is from Lincolnshire, being the first receipts thence of the new crop. We have seen samples of several of the cargoes, and find the quality . very much inferior to that of last year; the condition is, however, tolerably good, and a less proportion of old will be necessary in grinding the Lincolnshire wheat than what will be requisite to make good flour of that grown in Kent and Essex. The bulk of the arrival from the first-named county has gone to the millers direct, and the quantity exhibited at Mark lane has been comparatively small. • Neither on Wednesday nor Friday was there much wheat on sale ; and, though the fineness of the weather had some little influence on the trade, factors remained extremely firm : so far from making any concession, they seemed rather disposed to raise their pretensions. The business actually done was not important, but buyers had to pay fully Monday's currency for what they required for immediate use. The transactions in free foreign wheat have likewise been on a restricted scale, owing partly to the want of fine qualities, all that has recently arrived from abroad having been landed under lock. Superior Dantzic and good heavy qualities of red have been taken in small quantities ut very high rates, and other descriptions have not in any ins' ance been sold cheaper than on Monday. Bonded wheat has been inquired for; the extravagant prices demanded have, hoe ever, prevented important sales ; for moderately good red, 465. to 475. per quarter have been asked ; and a cargo of fine Rostock was, we believe, placed at 50s. per quarter ; for Dantzic and other favourite varieties equally high prices have been demanded. The enhancement recently established in prices of flour has been reluctantly paid by the bakers, and the contracts closed have not been so large this as the pre ceding week. Bonded flour has been held very high, which has checked business. and an improved de- With small arrivals o f barle y , sale. not c T ou he ld mmaadned,opnriwceesdhnaevse te da s yw ad er il e y o m n ov te e r d m u s pw w a i r i d ic s h . have been obtained in the beginning of the week, and on Friday the advance amounted to fully Is. per quarter on Monday's currency. There has not been much b arle y in bond offercd of late, and the samples exhibited have been held at very high rates. Malt has met with more inquiry during the week, and has risen ls. per quarter in value. A few small parcels of English and Scotch oats have come to hand, the former consisting of new Lincolnshire, but the Scotch being of last year's growth. We cannot say much in praise of the new Engl:sh, the samples which have hitherto come forward being mostly mixed with green corns. From Ireland a parcel or two of good quality have come to hand. Old oats, notwithstanding the large arrivals of foreign (32.559), have, throughout the week, met a ready sale at fully previous prices ; and, unless the supplies are followed by further liberal re ceipts, there is little chance of any decline occurring. The inquiry for beans has rather slackened, and the article was obtainable on slightly reduced terms at the close of the week. Peas were also somewhat difficult of disposal, and cer tainly Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper than on Monday. ---- DREADFUL BOILER Ex LOEION.--Fi VE LIVES LOST. —On Wednesday forenoon last, about eleven o'clock, an ac cident of a most awful nature occurred at Batley Carr, near Dewsbury, whereby five men lost their lives. It appears that the boiler belonging to the scribbling mill of Messrs. Day and Newsome was too small for the work which is re quired to be done, in consequence of which the safety valve had been overweighted and cause the explosion. The names of the men who have unfortunately lost their lives are John Foster, who had to take care of the engine, John Stead, Martin Leather, John Clarkson, and Joseph Brook. Foster has left a wife and one child. The other four men had only just gone into the boiler-house before the explosion took on ju st . now as •to A w s he a th g e7 d Place.—Doncaster Gazelle.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM. — D m i T t e c e h h t e ! n M anchesteryeste rd ay r, f a i onnrd the hh ß ee i p r c t u n or i rp n n g o si t E l e a x m o A MALGAM ATION WITH THE L ONDON AND BIRMING. , HAM CON tI F a I Companyc I ge , the directors submitting to the shareholders their report, a n e g i ld l i E n n g ; containing the terms upon which it was proposed to amal gamate with the London and Birmingham Company. The meeting was very numerously attended, and Mr. Worthington, deputy• chairman, presided. The SECRETARY then read the directors' report, which stated that in pursuance of the fifth resolution of the half-yearly general meeting of the company, held at the Corn Exchange, Manchester, on the sth of September, a deputation was appointed at the follow ing weekly meeting of the directors, with instruc tions to renew negotiations for an amalgama tion of this company on terms likely to be generally acceptable to the proprietors. That the deputation, consisting of J. P. Westhead, Esq., chairman of the company, William Rawson, Esq., and Thomas Thompson, Esq. (the earliest opportunity of communi cating to the London and Birmingham the fact of their appointment having been taken), proceeded to London on Monday, the 14th inst., accompanied by the law clerk and secretary of the Company ; that the London and Birmingham Company named a deputation from their body, consisting of George Carr Glyn, Esq., the chairman; Thomas Smith, Esq., and Thomas Cooktey, Esq., to receive and to treat with the deputation from the Manchester and Birmingham Company; and that a meeting was arranged to take place between the re spective deputations on Tuesday, the 14th inst., at twelve o'clock. noon, at the Euston station ; that, after a conference of several hours' duration, an arrangement for an amalgamation of the two Companies was imme diately entered into, subject to the ratification of the Proprietors, upon the following terms :—The present nominal capital of the Manchester and Birmingham Company is 2,100,0001, represeLted by the following shares :- 30,000 shares at 401 each, all paid up, amounting to 30,000 ditto 101-41. ditto 120,000 60,000 ditto 101-21. ditto 120,000 Making altogether 46 1,440,000 Remaining to call up on the quarter shares 660,000 2,100,000 The Company are also empowered to capital ise their existing debt of 700,000 £2,800,000 It is considered that the 660,000/. remaining uncalled up on the quarter shares will be required to complete the works and undertakings of the Company, as already sanctioned by Parliament. The Manchester and Bir mingham Company are to accept such dividend for the current half-year, terminating 31st Jan. next, as the profits of their own Company will afford. From the Ist February to 31st July, 1846, the London and Birming ham Company guarantee a dividend to the Manchester a Birmingham i Companyof 0,0 after44thoeo ; a ndfrom 3 rate of 8 per cent. lst and on theird. opcapitalp July, 1846, to Ist February, 1847, a dividend after the rate of 9 per cent. on the capital of 1,800,0601., or on so much of it as shall have then been called up. And on a like rate of dividend from Ist February to 31st July, 1847, on a raid-up capital of 2,100,0001., or upon so much thereof as shall have then been called. From 31st July, 1847, to the same date in 1848, the Proprietors willbe entitled to dividends on their capital of 2,100,0001., or so much thereof as shall have been called up equal to that at the time payable in respect of the same amount of stock to the London and Birmingham Company ; and from the 31st of July, 1848, the Manchester and Birmingham l'roprietors will be entitled to the same rate of dividend as the London and Birming ham Proprie tors received on Cher entire capital of 2,800,0001., such part, if any, of this capital as may not be then called up being debited with inte rest after the rate of five per cents per annum. It is in tended to apply, in the next session of Parliament, to effect the a malgamation of the two Companies on the terms agreed upon. The Manchester and Birmingham Company are to be at liberty immediately to capitalise their existing loans of 700,000/ by an immediate issue of new stock, which will give four new shares of 101. to the holders of every then existing 401. share, and a new the capital re p ese nt e d by thes e s h a re of 10/ to every holde r o f th e th en ex i s ti ng quarter - s hares ; but beyond the payment of a deposit, it nil:the terms of the above arrange- Wed to a parti c ipation in the full amount o f divide nd viz., fro m th e 31 st o f J u ly, 1848, ismm neweinngt not s, hhiiantamrt will n psi drl until,oedpb be co me t mo c u ca es l dl entitled payable to th e L on do n and Bir to the lit of February, 1849. It is proposed, therefore, to make arrangements to issue to the proprietors who may be registered as such, in the books of the Company, on the Ist of November next, 75,000 new 101. shares, which will be distributed in the propor tions above-named ; that is, of every holder in the line of three 40/. s hares, or 120/. Manchester and Birmingham stock, four new 10/. shares, and so on in the like proper ti .n for the holders of quarter shares. The two Companies are to participate pro rata in all future issues of stock, which may be required in any joint undertaking for which Acts of Parliament have to be obtained. Your Directors cordially agree with the deputation in sub mitting their arrangements for the approval of the pro lir:eters." Mr. Tnomesene then came forward and read the reso lution, which was to the effect that the meeting should confirm the terms of amalgamation proposed, and should give the Directors power to carry them out. In pro posing the resolution, he entered into a long and de tailed explanation of the report, with the view, as h e said, of enabling the proprietors to understand thoroughly what the plain and precise nature of those terms were. Ile congratulated the shareholders upon having come to this arrangement, but he had no doubt but their line would, in a few years, reach the maximum value to which law had limited railway property — namely, 10 per cent., and therefore, in their negotia tion with the London and Birmingham Company, they bad taken care to come to no arrangement in which that fact was not kept in view, and formed the basis cf their bargain.— (Cheers.) The present meeting had been called in order to give legal effect to the arrangement, but a special meeting would be called in a very short time for the purpose of finally closing it. In order to prevent any misunderstanding, he wished it to be dis tinctly u nderstood that the interest which this Company would have in the Trent Valley would be included in this bargain. He mentioned this fact in order that the thareholders should thoroughly understand their posi tion. The railway mania had now attained to such a height, that ho understood that there were no fewer than ten projects on foot for making a more direct road from Manchester to London. —(Laughter.) The esti mated cost of them was 23,000,000/, on which a deposit had been paid of 2,300,000/, which no doubt would, be disposed of by lawyers and engineers. However, lie believed that this Company was the only one that would really make a new line to London by Mac clesfield and Lichfield. He then called attention to the advantages which the Company had offer red to the public within the last three years. Amongst those be enumerated were, that they had m ade reductions of from 22 to 28 per cent. in the charges by, the first-class car riages, and the time occupied in the journey to London bad been also much lessened. He said that in the late negotiation with the London and Birmingham Company or to take the the deputation had been met in a courteous and in a b ness-like manner, and no disposition whatever was n from a Share elevaisntceaddveaintht advantage. In n ri a v o c holder, he said that this Compan) would have no parti cipation in any stock issued by the London and Birming ham Company antecedent to this arrangement, but that sw a er ha to rd a b they would participate in all future issues of such. The capital of this Company was limited to 2,800,0 q a r o g e a s i t n i 0 , 00/ What the capital of the London and Birmingham Compan3 was he could not say, but whatever it was under existing Acts, this Company would share in all future issues in proportion to the amount of their respective capitals. Mr. Itawsost, in seconding the resolution proposed by Mr. Thompson, spoke at great length on the value of the shares of this Company. He also expressed his con viction that no other Company would be allowed to make the line by Macclesfield and Lichfield but this, for it would be ridiculous to have three lines all i tinning pa rallel to each other in the same direction. He would wish to disabuse the public mind of the impression that the London and Birmingham Company had too much to do. lie would rather see a train start every ten minutes than as at present ; it could be easily done if they had a little more station room. He concluded by denouncing the many chimerical schemes that were now in the mar ket, and said he would never take shares in one of the m . The resolution was then put, and unanimously adopted ; after which The CHAIRDIAN read a letter from MW r. esthead, tendering his resignation as Chairman of the board, but the meeting resolved to send a deputation to request that he would retain the President's chair, and keep it per manently. its being chosen for such purpose, it would then become, from a small town, a large and flourishing sea port. The Commissioners for inquiring into harbours, ex pressly state that it would be, had it good communication with the interior, the best port for landing and shipping the West India mails. They say that its waters are perfectly safe and tranquil in the most tempestuous weather, so that the mails could at all times be put on board, or landed, and coals be taken in. It is not our object to establish a comparison be tween Falmouth and Dartmouth ; but it is sufficient to state that Dartmouth has merits of its own, which make good its claim to a large traffic. The Dartmouth and Exeter line gives the necessary connexion with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Exe!er, and so with Bristol, Gloucester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, and the north ; while the Yeovil lines, or other direct Hues will give the main thing —a short communication with the metropolis. Brixham is another important point which is accommodated by this line. Brixham is the port of Torbay anchorage, and has shipping belonging to it of 20,000 tons, besides fishing craft. Brix ham employs 1,500 seamen, and the merchants are very de sirous of having railway accommodation. Torquay, an ad mired watering-place, is now a steam-boat station to the Channel Isles; and there are also the towns and stations of Paignton. Newton, Chudleigh, and Moretonhampstead.— Exeter Paper. WHITEHAVEN AND FURNESS RAILWAY. The first general meetingof the Proprietors of this Com pany was held yesterday, at two o'clock, at No. 3, Guildhall buildings, the Earl of Lonsdale in the chair. The usual formalities having been gone through, the Secretary read the report, which set forth that the line, after being favourably reported on by the Board of Trade, was, by negotiation and arrangement with opposing parties, carried through Parliament as an unopposed measure, the whole expense incurred up to the granting of the Act being only 5,790/. lls. 9d. It was further stated that, with the consent of _ _ the Proprietors, the Directors intended to extend the line by tilverston to Lancaster, so as to complete thecommnnication from Whitehaven to the latter place. A survey had been made by Mr. Stephenson for this extension, the capital for which would be 750,0001. This included the whole distance of the extension from Funress to Lancaster, twenty-five miles. The new shares would be offered to existing stock holders in certain proportions, and would be issued as soon as the necessary preliminary steps were completed. It was also stated that a call of 31. would take place October 20th. According to the balance-sheet appended to the report the amount of capital in hand is 17,5001., arising from a deposit of 11. per share on 17,500 shares ; deducting the 5,7901. 9s. 11d. for expenses, there was in hand 17,500/. The CHAIRMAN moved that the report be received and adopted, which being seconded, was agreed to nem. con. Mr. FISHER moved the confirmation in office of the pre sent Board of Director& Mr. LEVI seconded the motion. The resolution, on being put, was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN said this closed the official business of the meeting ; and, for the information of the Proprietors, he might say that the line was being staked out, and ever step taken, consistent with due economy, to carryout the object of the C ompany. A PROPRIR'FOR said that a report had gone abroad of a proposed amalgamation of the line with some other railway company. He wished to know if there was any truth in it? The CHAIRMAN replied, that the only measure at present in contemplation was the extension of the line as stated in the report from Furness to Ulversten and Lancaster. There had been some negotiations opened, but they had broke off without anything definite being done. A resolution for setting apart 600/. for the compensation of the Directors was next agreed to, when the meeting broke up. SCULLING MATCH FOR 2001.—A grand sculling match for 2001. and the championship will come off about 10 o'clock this morning between Thomas Carroll, publican, of this town, and John Clasper, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Some dispute has arisen as to where the starting point should be, whether with the tide from Eastham towards Liverpool, or from Eastham against the tide to Weston-point and back; but, however this may be decided, an excellent view of the race can be obtained from Eastham. The match has excited great interest at most of the seaport towns of the kingdom. particularly in London and Newcastle, whence large numbers of persons are expected to arrive by cheap trains, to witness the sport. In the metropolis, where Clasper has already beaten all the best scullers of the day,the is decidedly the favourite, the betting on him being 3 to 1. In Liverpool Carroll is the favourite, and, singular to say, the betting upon him here is 3to 1 also. He is a young man, who has been in training for some time past, and seems quite confident of obtaining the victory. Clasper's boat is an out rigger, and weighs 421 b. Carroll's boat is also an outrigger, and weighs 491 b. Should the weather be favourable, excel lent sport may be expected. A race will also take place between two river gigs, pulled by boatmen. For the infor mation of our readers we may remark, that steamers will leave the George's-pier for Eastham several times during the day.—Liverpool Albion. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE OF CRANBERRIES.— Mr. Richard Cleminson, maltster, Millom, is the owner of a certain field of rough land containing about eleven acres, which formed a part of Millom Marsh previously to its in • closure. From this field he has taken the astonishing quan tity of six bushels of very superior cranberries, and it is estimated that there are four bushels that yet remain to be gathered. Taking the value of the article at the moderate rate of ls. per quart, it is pretty evident that Mr. Cleminson will realise a greater profit by his crop of cranberries than if he had used the inclosure for pasturage. The field, previously to the berries being plucked, presented a very pleasing appearance to a distant spectator, as it seems to be covered with a cloth of the most vivid crimson,—Lan caster Guardian. _ _ A JEREMY DIDDLER CAUGHT.—Mr. Edlin, of the Bull Inn, Trumpington-street, was visited on Saturday morning ast, by a plain matter-of-fact looking German, wlio sported a black wig, and claimed intimate acquaintance with several of the resident fellows of the university; he stated he was " come up" to attend lectures. Upon the faith of these representations Mr. Edlin supplied him with the best his house afforded, and on his application for a loose box, to hold a horse he expected by the rail, actually lent him a sovereign till he could get a remittance from his bankers, Messrs. Reba! ts and Curtis, to whom he wrote, giving Mr. Edlin the letter to post. On obtaining the money he ab sented himself from the house all night, which aroused the suspicion of Mr. Edlin, who watch.'d him on his return in the morning, and finding him packing up his not very extensive wardrobe, gave him into the custody of a pclice-constable, who brought him before the borough magistrates on Thurs day last. The gentleman, who exhibited a deal of cunning in his cross-examination of Mr. Edlin, and repeatedly begged he might have a private interview with the magistrates, was, to his utter astonishment. remanded till Tuesday on a charge of obtaining a sovereign from Mr. Edlin on false pretences. After an attempt to conceal his name, he ad mitted it to be Julius Rees, and that the letter to Robarts and Curtis for a remittance was altogether a ruse. Mr. Edlin's bill for eatablei, &c., was somewhat over V.—Cam bridge Chronicle. BANKING limas.— At a meeting of the Bank managers, held on Thursday, it was resolved that public business in all the banks should, 'after the last week, close on Saturday at twelve o'clock. This step is taken in conse quence of the passing of the Act of last session of Parliament regulating the issues of the banks. The returns of notes in circulation are to be made up on Saturdays after the close of business, and to do this correctly exchanges of notes will, in the first place, require to be made. The change of hour will be no boon to bankers, who will be kept much later at work than flomerly.— Glasgow paper. SHEEP SALES IN SussEx.—The sale of the Stone- ham flock, consisting of 370 ewes, 240 lambs, and 23 rams. took place on Thursday, when, in spite of the inclement weather, not less than 300 persons were present, including the Earl of Chichester, the Earl of Sheffield, Mr. Bryant (of New market), Mr. Jonas Webb (of Babraham), besides represen tatives of the Marquis of Bristol and the Duke of Manchester. The entire company having, by invitation of Mr. S. Gran tham, partaken of a substantial collation, the sale com menced. The price of the one-year ewes ranged from 655. 6d. to 78s. ; the two-years from 48% to about 765., the best pen of all fetching 81.! 155.; the three years ranged from 50s. to 100 s„ the prime pen reaching 71. 15s. a head; and the flill mouthed, from 3/. 15s. to 6/. 15s. The general run of awe lambs was from 30s. to 355., the prime 40s. each. For rams the prices were not so high as expected—from 24 to 46 guineas. Ram lambs were sold at from seven to ten guineas, but a few realised as much as 13 or 14 guineas. Altogether, the flock realised to Mr. Grantham 1,191/. 198.—0 n Saturday Mr. J. Ellman's annual sale and letting took place at Glynde, when 300 ewes were disposed of at an exact average of 555. each. The one-year old ewes ranged generally from 48s. to 515., one or two lots reaching as high as 545. and 575.; of the two and three year old sheep there were only three lots, which were sold at 425., 435., and 445.; the aged excited a spirited competition, three lots fetching 725., 765., and 78s. a- head, while the prime pen of all was purchased by Mr. Jonas Webb, at five guineas each. A five-years-old ram was knocked down to the Earl of Chichester at '25 guineas, and a three-years-old fetched the same sum. Another three-years-old was knocked down to Mr. Rigden, while a two•years-old fetched 18 guineas. We hear that several lots were purchased by a gentleman from Scotland.—Brighton Gazette, DEATH OF THE Ray. MR. WILLIAMS.—EXTRA ORDINARY VEnntcr.—On Saturday an inquest was held on the body of the Rev. H. P. Williams, by Thomas Gamble, Esq., county coroner, and a respectable jury, to inquire into the cause of the demise of the above-named gentleman. It appeared in evidence that, in 1834, the deceased resided in county Cavan, and was a magistrate there; that he received threatening notices ; and that he was ultimately shot at. The rs. jury agreed to the following finding, gn the evidence of M Williams, Dr. Williams, Dr. Makey, and Dr. Waters : " We find that the Rev. Henry Frederick 'Williams died on the 12th of September, 1845, at Tramore, from the effects of a gun-shot wound inflicted on him on the 22d of July, 1834, near the village of Virginia, in the county of Cavan, by some person or persons to us unknown, and from which he had been constantly suffering," That is—Mr. Williams had lived eleven years and two months after receiving the wound.— Waterford Chronicle. THE STOCK EXCHANGE AND THE " STAGS."..—The Stock Exchange people have found it necessary to order a railing to be erected at the end of Capel-court, to prevent the intrusion of the "outsiders"—persons who deal in scrip and allotment letters, but who are not admitted among the regular brokers. These gentlemen carry on their dealings in the open air, principally in Bartholomew-lane, but if the weather happens to be inclement they rush up Capel-court, and create such an obstruction that the brokers are unable to obtain admission. There has been a large increase in the number of unauthorised dealers during the last few weeks, and judgiag from the huge packets of scrip and letters which are hawked about, business must be extremely brisk. It is a curious fact, that persons who have been for years wan dering about London in a state of almost utter destitution have been metamorphosed into sharebrokers, and appear in " the Lane" amongst their brother dealers in attire which would reflect credit on the skill of a West end Schneider. STATE OF TRADE.—WhiIe work continues abun dant In many departments of our local trade, in the harness shawl line, there has been a considerabl e re d uc ti on i n t h e number hands employed within the last ten or fourteen days. The manufacturers in this department seem quite re solved to keep their stocks down to tie demand, although there is still a good deal doing in the fitter descriptions of goods. In striped shawls of various fabrics, and in a great variety of tartan fabrics,there la a strong trade doing, but the complaint of low prices is general both with manufac faeturees and workmen. With present rates the one class are unabld to sust 'in loss, or any reduetion In prices from the present low rates; and the workmen have to toil hard for but women or children's wages, which afford them but a bare subsistence,— Glasgow Saturday Post. A letter from ChAtesuneuf de-Mazene (Drome) states that, on the night of the 2lat hist„ a dreadful storm of hail, rain, and lightning, burst over the neighbouring coun try, and did considerable damege. Several of the sma ll er streams became swollen front the immense fall of rain, and carried away their bridges. The beadle of the church of Bhtie-Rolland was killed by the electric fluid, when ringing the belts in contravention of the regulations which forbid such an act. Other persons are also said to have lost their lives, but nothing certain was known when tho letter' was written. 'Sept. IBept. 'Sept. 1 29. 26.

The chairman (Mr. Parker) called on the secretary to read the terms of the agreement, which was to this effect—that 5,0001. was to be paid as" caution money," in case the Railway Company did not fill up its lists by the 31st of December ; that in the event of their Bill passing, 500,0001. was to be paid to the Canal Company, with another sum of 500,0001. to be liqui dated in yearly instalments; that, in the event of the Bill being defeated on the standing orders, 10,0001. was to be paid to the Canal Company ; and in case it should be lost on the merits, and that it was intended again to submit it to Parliament, 100,0001 should be forfeite to the Canal Company. This agreement was approved of by the vast majority of the Proprietors. Seven or eight, however, supported an amendment to the proposal, that the seal of the Company should be appended to it, on the ground that the deposit money should be 50,0001., in stead of 5,0001. To this suggestion it was answered that the railway Company proved the bond fides of its undertaking by giving such a sum as 5,0001. to the Pro prietors of the canal Company for the trouble of meet ing ; that the first payment of 500,000/. was equal to the value of the canal property (the shares being now at 25 premium), and that the additional 500,000/. was clear gain. The committee of the Canal Company also de clared their reliance on the power of the Railway Com pany.to fulfil their engagement in every particular. The meeting concluded by adopting a resolution to the effect that at a future meeting provision should be made for the secretary and servants of the establishment of twenty years' standing. SCOTCH LINES. EDINBURGH AND PEEBLES. A numerously attended meeting of the Provisional Committee was held at the Royal Hotel, in Edinburgh, on Wednesday, Sir J. Grahame Montgomery, of Stan hope, Bart., in the chair. The report stated, that after careful surveys, con. ducted by Mr. Stevenson, the Company's engineer, on both sides of the Esk, the Committee had finally selected a line, commencing at, a point upon the Dalkeith branch of the North British Railway, four miles from Edin burgh, and proceeding along the north bank of the Esk, by Loanhead, Lasswade, Rollin, Penicuik, Wellington Inn, and Eddlestone to Peebles, as the best which could be found, whether with a view to the expense of con struction, the general accommodation of the district, or the amount of probable traffic. The report further contained the terms of a lease of the line which had been entered into with the North British Company, subject to the approval of the Provisional Committee, on a guaranteed interest of four per cent. per annum, with one-half of the surplus profits after deduction of work ing expenses. Mr. CHAMBERS stated that, with the contract filled up, the amount of the first call paid, the surveys completed, or nearly so, and an arrangement made with a powerful ally to work the line, nothing was now wanting but the sanction of Parliament to effect the object which has been all along steadily held in view—a direct communi. cation between Edinburgh and Peebles. As respects the junction of the line to that of the North British, it had not been settled on without long and anxious considera tion. It had been found, on investigation by the engi neer. that it would be more advantageous to join the North British than either to have an independent ter minus or to join with the Caledonian Railway. To have attempted the latter, coming in to the west of Edin burgh, would have cost nearly 100,0001 more than the plan finally adopted. Some parties had urged maintaining an independent footing and terminus ; but this would have been most unwise, The great thing with the line was to reach the heart of Edinburgh, and also the sea, and this double object would now be achieved. The line from Peebles, as stated in the report, would run into the Ilawick branch of the North British line, at a place called Cairnie, not far from Newton Kirk, and from thence the trains would bring the traffic of the Vale of Tweed and of the Esk into the centre of Edinburgh, or carry it onward to Leith or Granton, or to Glasgow and the west of Scot land. Trains would likewise be able, from the point of union, to run on to Dalkeith or Fisherrow ; while, on the other hand, the coal and lime fields of this part of Mid-Lothian would be brought into direct communica tion with the interior. Another thing was to be held in remembrance. The length of line to be made would only be twenty-two miles, without any great works, the course taken being wonderfully level and easy ; and reckoning the portion of the North British line to be gone over, the total length of the railway from Edinburgh to Peebles would be twenty-six miles, a distance which could- be accomplished in little more than an hour. If the practical engineering advantages were considerable by adopting this arrangement, so he thought were the financial. The company, on handing over the line to the North British on the proposed lease, were to be guaranteed four per cent. on their capital ; and, so far,. this formed a sure and good investment. But besides this, after taking a sum for expenses of working the line, the North British were to pay this company half of the'profits, which may ultimately bring the return on capital to a considerable per centage more. Per centage, however, bad not been a primary object with the projectors of this company. They desired a line of railroad to serve the traffic on the Esk, as well as to and from Tweedale ; and that to all appearance had been secured by obtaining the co-operation of the North British Railway Company, which, for its own sake, he was confidently assured. would do all in its power to assist in carrying the Bill through Parliament. Mr. Chambers concluded by ex pressing a hope that, laying aside all jealousies and pre possessions, the 'landed proprietors of Peebles-shire would join in rendering assistance to a measure so fraught with advantages to the district. Mr. CHARLES COWAN congratulated the proprietors on their present prospects, and expressed conviction that great advantages would accrue from the line, not only to the agricultural interests of reebles-shire, but to the whole of the manufacturing interests of the Esk. The report, on the motion of Mr. A. FORRESTER, was adopted, and the committee were authorised to sign the agreement with the North British. EDINBURGH AND BATIIGATE.-At the last meeting of the Committee—the Right Hon. the Earl of Buchan in the chair—Mr. Grainger's (the engineer's) report having been considered, it was resolved that it would be expe dient, with the view of improving the line, and making it more direct and efficient, to alter the route originally proposed, as as to cause it to diverge from the Edin burgh and Glasgow at a point about half a mile to the westward of the Ratho station, and from thence to keep on the south side of the Upp hall Valley to Bathgate ; that as it was become the great trunk line between Edinburgh and Glasgow, it was also expedient to form it with double rails, and toincrease the capital to 200,0001 By this means it is conceived the great viaduct over the Almond Valley will be avoided, as well as viaducts and tunnels. _ _ _ _ _ EAST OF FIFE.-At the last meeting Of the Magis trates and Council of.the burgh of Pittenweem, a letter was read from the Secretary of the Edinburgh and Nor thern, soliciting them to desert the East Fife line, but the Council resolved to continue their countenance and support. The survey of the Aberdeen line by the west into Montrose is completed. GLASGOW, STRATHAVEN, AND LESMAHAGIOW.-At a meeting of the provisional committee, just he'd, it was resolved to carry a branch to Muirkirk, 13 miles, making the distance between Glasgow and Muirkirk under 29 miles. Lord Eglinton was in the chair ; and on the motion of Lord Belhaven, seconded by Mr. H. E. Crum, the Directors were authorised to issue new shares for the purpose, in the proportion of one new for every two original. ABERDEEN.—On Friday several large contracts for the masonry and earthworks were entered into. RAILWAYS IN LINCOLNSIIIRE.—SeveraI meetings have lately been held amongst the leading men in Lincoln, to consider the propriety of forming a company for the pur pose of constructing a railway from Lincoln to Levertou, a station near Retford, on the Sheffield and Grimsby line. The first meeting was held at the Black Goats Inn, on Saturday night last, present—the Mayor, in the chair, Messrs. William Rudgard, H. W. Brook, Edward Rudgard, Broadbent, Alderman Blyth, Gresham, Wilkinson, Olding. jun., Marshall, and Middleton. After much discussion, the following resolution, proposed by Mr. Alderman Rudgard, and seconded by 11. W. Brook, was adopted :—" That the railway communication between Lincoln and Man chester, to the centre of the consuming districts, being in complete from the rejection, by the Committee of the House of Commons, of the line from Retford to Lincoln, proposed by the Sheffield and Lincoln Company—proposed that a com pany be made for the formation of a line of railway to run as direct as possible between the town of Retford and the city of Lincoln, and that all present form themselves into a committee for the purpose of carrying out the undertaking, and that this meeting be adjourned to Monday, at eleven o'clock." Afterwards the proposed direct Lincoln and Hall line came under discussion, and seemed to be in high fAvour. On Monday the gentlemen met again and discussed the matter, and it was resolved that a deputation be formed to wait upon the inhabitants of Retford, to secure their co-operation. There seems but little doubt that if the gap between Lincoln and Retford be not filled up by the Sheffield and Grimsby Company (and we do not believe it will), the Lincoln cam talists will take the matter up with spirit, and carry it through, as the line in question would, when completed, form the most direct route to Manchester and the consuming districts for the produce of the greater portion of Lincoln shire. There is a general expression of regret in the city that the people of Lincolnshire have not a single representa tive on the Great Grimsby and Sheffield line or the Notting ham and Lincoln line, although Lincoln is the most im portant town, and the centre of the most important district on the respective lines of the two companies referred to, and an effort is to be made to remedy thi s injustice. In Lincoln there are already no less than four sharebroken, and there is some talk of having a railway exchange for the trans action of share business of every description.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. DARTMOUTH, TORBAY, AND 'E XETE R RAlLWAY.—Arrange ments have been made within the last few days for a co-ope ration between this Company and the Taw Vale Extension, the Cornwall and Devon Central, the Exeter, Dorchester, and Yeovil, mid the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Com panies; so that there will be one continuous line of rail way with the same gauge, and without change of car. riage, from the London station of the South-Western Railway at Hun g erford-briago to Brixham, Dartmouth, &c. By the Taw Vale Extension a direct railway will be opened between the harbours of Torquay, Paignton, Brixham ' and Dartmouth, on the English Channel, and those of Barnstaple, Bideford, and Ilfracombe, on the Bristol Channel, and the long contemplated scheme of con necting the two channels with a direct line to London and Falmouth, will be effected. It is scarcely surprising that this line should be supported by the local parties, when it is considered of how much importance it is to Dartmouth to have railway accommodation and in the shortest line possible. Dartmouth is one of the finest and safest natural harbours on our south-west coast. Its situation and natural advan tages particularly fit it for a packet station, In case of THE GAME LAWS.
