In some instances, the-buyers of warps and cops find a slight advantage, though the quotations are generally un changed.

Doubled yarns are still neglected; but good qualities of fine single are so much under contract, as that full prices are obtainable for what there is to dis• pose of. There has been little spirit for business among the buyers of cloth ; and the day's transac tions have been altogether limited in amount. The quotations are the same as those of last week, with no further weakness than is usual in a quiet market; in deed, such is the loss incurred by the production of goods, that manufacturers appear to be brought to the point at which the present range of prices can be no longer borne, but must be met by bringing a dimi nished quantity into the market.

HALIFAX, SEPT. 28.—The aspect of our Piece Hall to-day has been much the same as it was last week, there being no noticeable differelace either in In Th e S un o f yesterday we MURDER OF A T b O ri L efl L y - m K en E ti E on P ed E th ß at . a,murdered. T n h e e a r following Tod e h a fullerdo een m p a o r s t t b i cu r l u a t r a s l brutally the circumstances attending the awful crime :—The person murdered is James Smith, aged 41 years, a lame and decrepid man. Smith was a bachelor, and sold fruit and confectionary at the toll-gate. He was seen last alive by William Holt, carter, who drives a carrier's cart between Heptonstall and Rochdale, and who passed through the toll-gate before named a few minutes before twelve o'clock, p.m., on his way home, at which time Smith was standing at the door, and remarked to the carter on his passing through the gate, that he was only just in time, and that had he been a few minute s l ater h e would have been subjected to a fresh toll. The door of the toll-house, it appears, is usually fastened inside by an iron bar, and is sup posed to have been so fastened on the night of the murder, and it is supposed to have been unbarred by means of a piece of crooked wire or iron having been introduced through the key-hole of the door (which was without lock), by which means it is likely the bar was shot back, and an entrance obtained, after which the murderer proceeded up, stairs where the unfortunate man lay, and attacked him, it is believed, whilst he was asleep, with some sharp instrument, cutting off the bottom part of his ear, which wound was continued along the left cheek to the under side of the lip in one continuous gash as NEW ACT RELATING TO MORTGAGEES AND Tnus- TEEN —On the Ist of next month an Act will come into force respecting mortgagees and trustees.

THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1850. deep as could be made for the jawbone. This not having effected Ve death of the poor man, who no doubt ircap4de of resistance, the murderer pro bably made another cut, commencing at one side of the neck and continuing it across the throat to the other side of the ne..k, cutting the windpipe and the carotid ::rteries., and neArly severing the head from the body. In consequence of the deceased not making his appearance on the Saturday morning at his usual time to collect the toll, two of his neighbours, Mr. William Crossley, butcher, and Mr. William Speak, blacksmith, of King-street, went to the toll-house, the door of which was found shut but not fastened. They entered and called out, but no one answering, they sent a boy up-stairs named Greenwood, about nine years of age, who came in, and who usually fetched milk for deceased from a neighbouring house, and told him to awaken Smith. The boy returned immediately in great fright, sa yi ng " J emm y b a d cut his throat. Crossley and Speak then went up-stairs, and found the deceased kneeling with one knee on the bed and the other leg off the side of the bed, the head and upper part of the body hanging over the bed, and the body cold. It does not appear that plunder could be the object of the miscreant who has committed this bloody murder, since the money collected for toll was left untouched, besides some other money, the savings of the murdered man. Various are the reports current in the neighbourhood relative to the motives actuating the murderer to commit this horrid crime, but up to the present it is involved in complete mystery. On Saturday forenoon, county Police Sergeant Heap, stationed at Todtnorden, apprehended a man named Halliwell, a tailor, at Burnley, who had been seen in the neighbourhood on Friday evening, and also at an early hour on Saturday morning. Mr. Brierley, superintendent of the detective police on the Lanca shire and Yorkshire• Railway, apprehended a labourer named Greenwood, about 22 years of age. Green wood resides in the' neighbourhood, and both men are suspected of being concerned in the murder. Halli well's cap appears, as if it had been saturated with blood. An inquest was held before Mr. J. Dyson, coroner of the district, in the school-room of Mytholm Church, at ten A.m.:on Monday, which was adjourned till Monday next, when it is hoped the authorities will have been successful in obtaining some clue to the detection of the murderer. The instrument with which the murder has been effected, notwithstanding diligent search has been made for it, has not yet been discovered. THE FRIMLEY MURDER. Up to eight o'clock last evening no furtber intelli gence relative to . this dreadful tragedy had been re ceived by the police authorities at the chief office in Great Scotland-yard. The officers engaged in the case have been , instructed not to relax in their exer tions to discover anything which may lead to the de tection of the murderers, or tend to increase the sus picion against the men at present in custody. There are some circumstances in conliexion with these men which, not transpiring publicly on Tuesday, have hitherto escaped notice. It appears that they have long been known to the local police of Guildford and Godalming asi very daring and expert thieves, and the fact that they generally pursued their nefarious opera tions together , seems to have led to their apprehen sion. When the circumstances of the attack upon Mr. Hollest's house and person became known, the local police, with that acuteness which belongs to the craft, at once suspected that the parties in custody might have been engaged in the affair. A close watch was accordingly set upon the usual haunts of these men, and after the lapse of a few hours, during which they had been severally followed, the three met on Sunday evening at the Rose and Crown beershop, in Guildford, where their apprehension was effected as already stated. On being taken into custody they expressed their willingness to accompany the officers wherever they chose, declaring at the same time their entire ignorance of the crime with which they were charged. On being questioned as to how they had passed the previous 48 hours, they denied having been in each other's com pany. The man who calls himself Hiram Smith, but whose real name is Richard Trower, said that he was at Kingston-on-Thames on Friday night, and went to the theatre at that place. He added that he got a lift from Guildford to Kingston in a fish cart, and re turned on Saturday by the railway. Levi Harwood declared that he was on London-bridge at eight o'clock on Saturday morning, looking for work, but finding none, he came down to -Guildford by the same night s train, on the South-Eastern Railway. Jones accounted for his time in a similar manner, and nothing was gleaned to fix guilt upon one or other of them. liar- wood was the only one upon whom any money was found. He had two.sovereigna in one of his pockets, which he stated he had had by him for some months. Only a few halfpence were found upon the others. It is deeply to be regretted that in consequence of the want of a proper lock-up-house at Guildford the pri soners were allowed to be together during Sunday night. If implicated in the matter they had thus an opportunity of arranging their defence so as to avoid contradicting each other. The magistrates felt this evil so strongly that on remanding the prisoners on Tuesday they directed that they should be conveyed one to Guildford, another to Farnham, and a third to Godairnieg. It was only after the arrival of the prisoners at Frimley, on Tuesday morning, that anything ap proaching evidence of a criminatory character was obtained against them. Oa the village constable (Macey) sreing them, however, he instantly recog nized Hiram Smith as a man he had spoken to in the village on the Tuesday previous to the murder. Smith was then selling crockery ware, and he had only left the parsonage- house a few moments before he spoke to Macey. The latter states that, upon coming up to his cottage-door, Smith alluded to the deceased, and said he had just parted with him about threepence in the price of two dishes. He added that he had tried hard to get some "chuck" (bread and meat) out of him, but had failed. Smith dues not deny this state ment, which, at least, shows a degree of familiarity with the deceased's residence. The other two pri soners are stated to have been recognized as men who have been frequently seen in the village of Frimley. Macey, the village constable, was the first person to reach the parsonage-house after the alarm bad been given. He went up into Mr. Hollest's bedroam, and found him lying down, with a cloth bound round his abdomen to stop the flow of blood. Macey inquired if he thought he was much hurt. The unfortunate gen tleman said he thought not, and at one proceeded to re late the circumstances of the attack. Mr. Hol iest told Macey that he never heard or saw anything until he observed two figures standing at the foot of his bed. After the pistol was fired Mr. Holiest said he continued to wrestle with his assailant, and was rapidly getting the better of him when the other man, who had been engaged with Mrs. Holleet left her, and, corning to hishcomrade's assistance, enabled him to escape out of the . apartment. Mr. H o liest added that he did not know h e was shot until he saw the blood trickling down leis legs a f ter he had f i red h i s gun across the lawn. The frequency of robberi es of late in this part of the country has caused great a l arm among the resi dents in the neighbourhood.

Henry Denham, a rouvi—lookieg 3 (meg man, well known to the metropolitan and city police as a thief, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, in the custody of Michael Haydon, the officer, charged with having been concerned in the attack upon and robbery of Mr. Cureton, of Alderegate-street, on the '2oth of September. Mr. Hodgson, superintendent of the City police, was present during the investigation. M. Haydon said—From private information which I had received I went this morning with Brett and another officer to the Red Lion public house, Pearl row, Blackfriars. I there saw the prisoner and told him that he must consider himself in my custody, and that I charged him, on Suspicion, with being con cerned, with two others, in the attempt to murder, and with the robbery of Mr. Cureton, in Aldersgate street. He asked me the name of the day, and the date of the month. I told him Friday, the 20th of the month. He said he was perfectly innccent of the charge. I took him to the Bow- lane station, and he was placed with two other persons about his own height and age, and was seen by two witnesses who are now present. Mrs. Sarah Wilson, wife of Mr. Charles Wilson, of No. 81, Aldersgate-street, the house in which the outrage was cornier ted, said—Mr. Cureton resides in our house, and occupies the second floor. On the 20th of September, about four o'clock in the after noon, I opened the door to three gentlemen, as I sup posed them to be. One of them asked for Mr. Cure ton. I told them the second flooor. One of them then said, "The second floor ?" I said, "Yes." Alderman GIBBS—Look round, and tell me whether you see any of them ? Witness—l cannot swear to the prisoner, but I believe that he was the last of the tbree who came into the house. They all three went up stairs, and about half-past four I heard the foot steps of these persons going out. At about half-past five I went up stairs, and found that Mr. Cureton's door was shut, and the keys, which were kept on the outside, had been taken down and were inside the door, one being in the lock. I knocked at the door. No one answered me, and I opened it, and saw Mr. Cureton in the act of raising himself from the floor, and leaning against some drawers. I supported him to a chair, and called my husband, and he f e t c hed a s u rgeon . No person had been into the house but the three men I have referred to. A gentleman was upstairs when the three men went up; but I saw him leave the house the moment they went up. Alderman GIBBS —Prisoner, do you wish to ask the witness any question ? The prisoner —I have to say, your Lordship, that the lady is quite mistaken. I have only just come out of the hospital. Mrs. Susan Edwards—l live on the first floor of Mr. Wilson's house. My room is under Mr. Cure ton's. I was at home on the 20th of September. I had been out, and on my return I heard a very unusual noise in Mr. Cureton's room, for that gentle man is in the habit of moving about so quietly as scarcely to be heard. The noise was that of persons walking about very much, and something seemed to fall upon the floor. It was as if children were throw ing their playthings about. I thought it very unusual, and I went down to the kitchen to speak to Mrs. Wilson. I saw the clock in the shop, as I was going down, and it was twenty minutes to five. Mrs. Wilson was not in the kitchen, and I returned up stairs. Shortly afterwards my mother-in-law called to take out my little girl. I let her in, and she went away directly; and when she was gone I went down stairs to get a dish, and on returning up stairs I met three gentlemen coming down stairs, but as Mr. Cureton was in the habit of being called upon by gentlemen, I did not notice them. I can form no opinion as to whether the prisoner is one of them. J. Brett (13, City police)—l was in company with Haydon this morning in Pearl-row, and I went into the Lion public-house, and saw the prisoner in com pany with a number of other thieves. I came out, and he followed me out. Alderman Ginns—Had you spoken to him ? Witness—No, but knowing me he followed me out, and said to me, "Do you want any assistance. Can I serve you ?" Haydon then came up, and I assisted him in taking the prisoner into custody. He asked us what he was charged with, and what we wanted him for ? Haydon told him for robbing Mr. Cureton, in Aldersgate-street, about four o'clock on Friday afternoon. He said, "So help me God, I never heard of it. I can't read, and nobody has ever told me anything about it." He said, " Curley can read, but he keeps it all to himself." He meant by Curley a man who was in our company, and a thief. At the station-house I searched the prisoner, and found six pence halfpenny in copper about him. He gave me his address as No. 50, Pearl-row, where I have been with other constables, and I find that it was false. I have found out the house in which he does live. Alderman GIBES—Do you believe that if I remand the prisoner you will be able to obtain more evidence to connect him with this robbery ? do. I believe I shall be able to produce conclusive evidence that he was one of the parties. The prisoner —I know nothing about it. The lady is quite mistaken in charging me, fur I was in the hospital. Alderman GIBBS—I have not forgotten that you said so when she gave her evidence. The prisoner—l thank you, sir. Alderman Glans— What hospital were yen in ? The prisoner—St. Thomas's. The officer who just gave evidence says he has found out where I live. Now, if he has been there, and look e d a b ou t, h e must have found my hospital letter, which will prove the truth of what I say. Alderman Canns—Aye. You were an out-patient, were you not ? The prisoner—l was. I had a fever in my limbs at the time he speaks of, and my letter was in my room. Henry Barry (sergeant 455 M, attached)—ln con sequence of private information which I received that the prisoner was concerned in the robbery and at tack upon Mr. Cureton, I communicated with Hay don upon the subject, and the prisoner was appre hended. I have since, together with Brett, searched his lodgings, knowing where he has lodged for some time. They are No. '26, Martin's-street, Friar-street, Blackfriars-road. I have known him these two felony.years, c kw o n n o v icttehdatthhieef liveshas been inthe co s n a v in ic e te h d ous o e f with him. Alderman GIBBS—Were you a witness against him when he was convicted? Witness—No • but I was present when he was summarily convicted before the magistrate at the Southwark Police-court. The prisoner—That was only for an assault. Witness—lt was for robbing your lodgings. I know the prisoner by the name of Miller. The prisoner—That gentleman (Barry) who has just spoken of me, knows well I am innocent of this charge. Alderman GIBBS—His evidence is to a very dif ferent effect. Sergeant Barry—A party who knows him well has informed me that he is one of the persons who were engaged in the robbery, and to the best of my belief he is. • Alderman GIBBS—I shall remand the prisoner for a week, in order to give the police time for looking into this very serious case with proper care. Remanded accordingly. MARYLEBONE. Upon two occasions within the last week or ten days we have given insertion to the particulars of in vestigations gone into at this court, before Mr. Broughton, relative to a serious charge against Mr. Shivers, jun., a linendraper at Cheltenbeun viz., that of having thrown a glass bottle from the window of a carriage in which he was travelling, by an excur sion train from the above-named town to London, and thereby inflicted- injury of an alarming nature upon James Wise, one of the Great Western Rail way Company's guards, who at the time was standing within a short distance of the Farringdon-road sta tion. It will be remembered that the defendant, upon the arrival of the train at Paddington, admitted, after some hesitation, to Mr. Collard, the company's police superintendent, that he flung away the bottle alluded to, but at the period of his doing so he had not the slightest idea of doing harm to anybody. The train was going at the rate of forty miles an hour, and he saw no one when the bottle was delivered from his hand. To-day, pursuant to the recognisances entered into, he again appeared ; and it had been understood, from a communication which had been made to the magis trates, that some additional evidence of an important nature would be forthcoming, showing that the oc currence by which - Wise had so much suffered was not, as alleged, the result of accident. Air. Saunders, secretary to the Great Western Railway Company, was in attendance. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared for the de fendant, who was accompanied to the court by bis bail, and many other highly-respectable gentlemen, his friends. After the case was called on, Mr. Saunders addressed the magistrate to the effect that the directors had felt it their duty to send the case for inquiry before the Court, and that since the defendant was remanded upon the charge all possible pains had been taken by them to arrive at a proper conclusion, and they were of opinion that there was an entire absence of any intention to do injury ; under these circumstances there was no wish to press the charge further. Happily the guard had nearly reco vered, but if it could have been shown that he was purposely injured, or that any one of the public had suffered through the wilfully throwing a bottle or any other missile upon the railway, it would be the desire of t company that the party so o ff ending should be p inished to the fullest extent which thelaw allowed. Mr. BROUGHTON observed that he was glad to see Mr. Saunders present. His (the magistrate's) opinion was at one time that if no additional evidence was brought forward, it was a case for compensation to be given, but he had been informed since that the throw ing of the bottle at the man would be shown to be a premeditated act. _ _ Mr. Saunders said that something had been stated to that effsct, but upon inquiry the company felt sa tisfied that there were no good grounds for believing► that the injury was intentionally caused. There had been no comprornibe whatever on the part of the com pany with respect to their own expenses in the atlair, or as to any compensation to the guard. Mr. BROUGHTON said that if, as he had been given to understand would be the case, a person had been examined and had shown that he distinctly saw the bottle deliberately aimed, he should have felt it his duty most certainly to have sent the defendant before a jury for trial. In this case he must look upon Mr. Saunders as acting for the company in the same light as the Attorney-General, who, acting on the part of the Queen, says, in addressing the judge, " My Lord, I have no evidence to offer ;" and should, therefore, discharge the defendant, hoping that what he had al ready undergone would operate as a caution to him for the future. He (the magistrate) suggested to him that he ought to give the guard 51. at least. Mr. Clot kson remarked that his client, who was a strictly honourable man and of good tinnily and con nexions, would not quit the court without adequately recompensing the unfortunate victim of his indiscre tion. SOUTH 'ARK. James Myers, a — stout-built, pale-complexioned young man, dressed in a snuff-coloured Taglioni coat and black trowsers. was placed at the bar before Mr. A'aratkett, charged with stealing a leathern portman teau, containing divers articles, the property of Mr. Francis Moor, from the platform of the Brighton Railway, at London-bridge. The defendant stated that he came up from Brigh ton by the train, and arrived at the London-bridge terminus between eight and nine o'clock on the pre vious night. The portmanteau produced was his property, and when at Brighton he had it delivered into the charge of the company, and received a ticket to claim the same at the end of the journey. On presenting that ticket last night his portmanteau could not be found, but in about ten minutes after wards he saw it and the prisoner brought up to the platform by the next witness, and he heard the pri soner say that he came up from Brighton by the train, and that the portmanteau was his own, and that he had received it from the policeman to whom he had delivered his ticket for it. The complainant added that he heard the witness Cooper say to the prisoner, " That is false, for I saw you on the platfornt half an hour before the train came up." The prisoner then said that it was by another train he came pas senger. William Frost stated that he is employed as one of the porters outside the terminus of the Brighton Rail?, ay. On the previous night, when the train came in, about half-past eight o'clock, he saw the prisoner come from the gates, dragging the portmanteau pro duced, and he (witness) asked him if he wanted a porter, and he replied in the affirmative, and witness took it up on his shoulder, and was carrying it from the terminus, when he was overtaken by the next witness, who inquired whose it was. The prisoner replied that it was his property ; that he had come up from Brighton by the train, and he said that he was surprised that he should be suspected, and he then pulled witness along by the arm. The next witness, Cooper, however, desired that he should return to the station, but the prisoner declined, and said he would take our numbers, and report our conduct to the di rectors. The witness added, that he then assisted in securing the prisoner, and took him back to the ter minus, with the portmanteau, which was claimed by the prosecutor. William Cooper stated that he is a constable of the Brighton Railway, and was on duty at the time men tioned, and received information that a portmanteau was tnis , ing, and that a porter had gone after the thief. He (witness) followed, and met the porters and the prisoner, and the latter claimed the portman teau as his property, and asserted that he had handed the ticket to witness for it. Witness however added, that there was no truth in the prisoner's assertion . Mr. ATECKETT remarked that there must be negli gence somewhere to allow the prisoner to take away a large portmanteau from the platform, and that it was only by some accident that the owner had it restored to him. Cooper said that it was a mixed train that arrived with luggage vans attached, and that a good deal of confusion prevailed owing to the hurry and bustle of passengers wanting to get quickly away with their luggage, that the prisoner no doubt availed himself of the circumstance and got hold of the complainant's portmanteau. Mr. A'BECKETT said there ought to be a more rigid look-out kept, as what was the use of issuing tickets for luggage to an owner, at Brighton, whets it could be obtained at the London terminus with out the production of it, by a stranger, as in the present case. James Winter stated that he is a porter in the com pany's service, and that he saw the prisoner on the platform last night, half an hour before the Brighton train came in, and he saw the prisoner take the portmanteau from the barrier where the luggage is placed. He (witness) asked him if it bt , l.,nged to him. He said it did; and he then asked him where was his ticket, and he replied that he had given it to a constable. Soon afterwards a portmanteau was missing, and he suspected it was the one the prisoner had taken, so he gave information and went atter the prisoner, and overtook him and the prisoner just as they turned round St. Thomas's Hospital. Witness asked the prisoner whether he came up from Brighton, and he replied in the affirmative, and added that the portmanteau contained his property. Witness added that he assisted in taking the porter back to the station, and on the way be expressed his determina tion to punish them for daring to supect a man of his respectable character of being a railway thief. Mr. A'BECKETT remarked that if the policeman whose duty it was to receive the ticket for luggage from the owners was in attendance at the barrier where it was deposited on the arrival of a train, this robbery could scarcely have been effected. If the policeman was on duty in another place, then there ought to be more of the company's servants at this particular spot, otherwise the property of the passen gers would be at the mercy of such ch arac t ers as t h e prisoner, who managed to intrude themselves on the platform on the arrival of the trains. The Magistrate then committed the prisoner for trial. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. -APPOINT- MENT OF A NEW BOARD. A special general meeting of this company was held in the Manchester Exchange yesterday, for the pur pose of remodelling the board of directors. The attend ance was numerous. Mr. William Marshall occupied the chair. I The CHAIRMAN stated that so long ago as March I last it was proposed to reduce the board to twenty members, and at subsequent meetings of the company various proposals for effecting this reduction were made. A number of gentlemen were appointed by the shareholders to act with six directors appointed by the directors in the selection of a new board. That list was submitted at the last meeting, but it was not agreed to. Another joint committee was then ap- pointed ; but it now appeared, from a letter written by Mr. Leeman, one of the members of the commit tee, to Mr. Houldsworth, and dated " 4th Sep tember," that after sitting from ten o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening, they were obliged to separate without coming to any conclu sion. —(Hear, hear.) The directors had since had their attention constantly directed to this subject, and he had hoped to be in a position to lay a list before the meeting for their acceptance ; but he now regretted that he could not do so.—(Hear.) He had to an nounce that since the last half-yearly meeting Mr. Houldsworth had sent in his resignation as a director of the board, stating in a letter addressed to Mr. Stuart :—" The course adopted by a majniity of the directory in reference to the late proceedings for the reconstruction of the board appears to me, after ma ture consideration, to have been so opposed to the spirit of the arrangement entered into with the share nolders on the 3d July, to the whole proceedings of the board itself, in reference to the nomination of the new board, and to what was due to the gentlemen nominated, that I cannot identify myself with it by sharing in their responsibility of conducting the affairs of the company under circumstances so fruitful of discord and difficulty. I h ave t h ere f o re come to the conclusion to resign my seat at the board, and re quest you to be kind enough to convey this intimation to my colleagues." The CHAIRMAN said that at the last meeting a num ber of the directors had signified their intention to abide by the list of the joint committee, but since that time the board had been charged with " repu diation." Such a charge be considered might more properly have been made against what he called the " opposition," who had taken upon themselves to form another committee, and by so doing had rendered nugatory all that bad been done by the committee previously. .Mr. MOWATT said they should lay the blame upon the proper shoulders. A committee had been ap pointed jointly by the board and the shareholder s . They had put forward a litt, which had been repu diated, and by whom ? He denied that the opposi tion had done it, and he challenged any member of the board to say that it was not in the board, or a section of the board, that the repudiation took place.— (Cheers.) For years he had objected to the present management, because he believed that if it continued he should be totally ruined, so far as the property he had in that line was concerned.—(Hear, hear.) On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a resolution was unanimously adopted to the effect that the present board . be reduced to ten members. Mr. MONVATT, M.P., then proposed that, in order to carry into efl'ect such reduction, the following g , n _ tlemen should cease to be members of the board, viz.:—Messrs. Schuster, Grenfell, Gill, Hatton, Ralph, Buchannan, Smith, Brooks, Andus, Bateionf Ells, and lipaton. Mr. InomAs FIELDED/ seconded the motion. An arrn,mitti. - n;; was then moved by Mr. WILLIAMS, of Chester, and seconded by Mr. MACVICAR, that the following gentlemen should form the ten who should remain on the board, with four others, to sit ex officio. vitssrs. Anderton, Gill, Hatton, Marshall, Moxovl Ralph, Smith, Stuart, Wickham, Wilson; and the followipg gentlemen ex officio, Andtv, Hornby, Beau mont, R?.dclitfe. Mr. BROADBENT, a director, complained of the ehuf• fling manner in which the business had hitherto been conducted by the board, and said he would vote for Mr. Mowatt's motion, believing that he would pro pose a list of gentlemen who Would be of the greatest service to the company. Mr. MOWATT then proceeded to state his reasons for objecting to various members of the board. He would take Mr. Gill, as one of the gentlemen repre• Fencing the old board of management from the corn mencemen t, and would therefore state his objections to him. 11c had always been actively connected with the line, and consequently instrumental in producing the prtsent lamentable deterioration in the value of their property. For some years, however, he was out of Manchester ; but, on his return io 1848, he fbund that the rate of dividend had decreased from 8 to 6 per cent. This exceed ingly dissatisfied Mr. Gill, and be then took the affair very much into his own hands, and made an attempt to reform matters. In fact, he and Mr. W. Entwistle were very desirous to ha 7e the sole and unlimited control of the management. They had produced a decline in the value of the property to the extent of four-fifths, and they had made his (Mr. Mowatt's) 50,0001. worth only some 10,0001. It was not likely, therefore, that he should submit to such a system of management longer.—(Bear, hear.) But Mr. Gill, after reducing the value of the company's property, and no doubt his own at the same time, wished to quarter himself upon the company, and Mr. Houlds• worth had intimated his desire to have him a salaried officer, with 1,5001. a year.—(Hear.) Mr. GILL denied the truth of the statement. Mr. MOWATT said he had had good authority for what he asserted, and proceeded to find fault with Mr. Gill for having been a party to the issuing of writs against defaulters, while he was at the same time behind with his calls to a greater extent than they were. He considered that, if properly ma' naged, the value of their property might be at least doubled.—(Cheers.) Mr. GILL then replied to Mr. Mowatt, denying, that the que s ti on o f hi s becoming a paid servant of the board had ever come under their consideration, and bringing evidence from the books of the company to show that he had years ago, and also within the last few weeks, proposed that all the directors, him' self included, should serve the shareholders for nothing.— (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment, which was negatived, but a scrutiny was demanded, and was taking place when our report was dispatched. C - • - .TLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, AND ARDROSBAN.....-TO ordinary half -yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was called for Monday, in Glasgow. After nearly an hour's delay twenty gentlemen at' tended. Mr. J. Hodgson Hind took the chairman's seat, but objected to proceeding to business on the ground that only 935 shares were represented by the meeting, whereas 1.400 were required legally to eon stitute it. He expressed his regret at the want of quorum, and that the affairs of the company were net in a more prosperous condition, and stated the circunr stances under which the Earl of Eglinton h a d re signed the office of chairman, and he had accepted it. Mr. Wilkie, writer, explained that the shares formerly held by Mr. Barlow, on behalf of the National Ex' change Company, were now represented by Mr. Gour ly, and contended that his presence increased the shares to the required amount, and that therefore the meeting was perfectly legal. The chairman said hi/ should adh ere to t h e register, in which he did not find any such transference. Considerable discussion en' sued as to the relevancy of the objection stated bf the chairman, and ultimately the gentlemen present separated. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
