Tie difficulty of securing an enact fit from a stock of ready made clothing is often a cause of comolaint with the pi, bl c, arising trout the want of a sufficient varie , y of sizes. Evers obstacle, owt-ver, In this respect, is entirely removed by lIYA NI and CO., whose stock ot Clothing for immediate wear is so varied in size and make, as to ensure a perfect adaptation to personal peculiarities. It is not th, practice of II YAM and CO. to retain the stale stock of past seasons (as is often th i , case). a practice which is rt ndered m i.ossib a, tr m the c rcumstance of the enormous sales whi -h the arttcics of itYAM and CO. continually command.

Few prorogations have excited co much interest as that of the Parliament in 1851. It is preparatory to a dissolution. Will the same Parliament ever meet atrat‘, are questions which arise among politicians, but cannot be answered.

Every variety of material and design that the most ingenious artists an the best workwomen can invent and execute, may be seen at the great Mart in Aldgate and the Minories, or the noble West-end Branch Establishmen , , in New Ox:ord-street, corner of Hart-street.

BIRMINGHAM, AUG. 14 —At Gloucester and Wor cester inerkets on the 9 h the wheat trade ruled dull. at Is to 24 per quarter lower. Barley less in r, quest, but nominally unaltered in value. Oats realised quite as much mousy. Beans and peas but little inquired f ,r, and the turn cheaper. During the present week the weather has continued as favourable as possible for the harvest operations, but the tew sales made have been at about the previous currency. Only retail sales of bar ley have been effected. We have a fair demand for oat. at a reduction of 6d per quarter. Nothing worth notice doing in either beans or peas. At this day's marke there was again only a moderate supply of wheat from the farmers, hut the trade ruled dull, at a reduction ot Is per quarter. Barley could only be disposed of by submitting to a similar decline. Oats found buyers at 6d per quarter under the price of this day se'nnight. Beans and peas both is to 2s per quarter lower. The millers reduced the retail price of flour 33 4d per sack. BRISTOL, AUG. 14.—Wheat was in moderate supply, but the demand was scanty.

Flour was in small demand. Eeglish flour (sec.,ntis) 29s to 31s per sack. American ditto (sweet) 21s to 22s per barrel. Oats had a downward tendency. Devon and Welsh oats, 193 to 203 per imperial quarter ; Irish white ditto, 20s to 21s per. 3201b5; ditto black ditto, 19s to 204 per imperial quarter. Beans were also a dull sale.

Coastwise, and from Ireland, the arrivals have been very light. No essential change occurred during the week, business being confined to retail transactions. This lay's mai ket was thinly attended. Wheat and flour met a limited demand, at barely last week's currency. Bari , --y was little inquired after, and its value remains unchanged. Oats and oatmeal have to be written 3d to 6.1 lower per boll or load respectively. Beans and peas ?sere easier t ,, purchase. Li= corn, in the absence ot inquiry, unaltered.

Yesterday the thirty second half-yearly general meeting of the Great Western Company was held at the Bristol Terminus, Temple Mead. The chair was taken shortly after one o'clock by Mr. Charles Russell, the chairman of the company. Mr. C. SAUNDERS, the Secretary, having read the advertisement convening the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said that since the directors met the proprietors on the 15th ofJune last, their satins tion had been chiefly directed to the perfecting of the means of communication with the north. At that meeting they were pleased to confirm an ag greement into which the directors had entered with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Com pany, and a meeting was convened of the proprietors of that company also, for the same purpose, and on the same day. They came, however, to the determi nation of adjourning that meeting, with the view of referring the question to a committee of their share holders, and they understood it was their intention still further to adjourn it to the end of this month. If the object of the proprietors in thus postponing their meeting, was merely to afford to their shareholders a fair opportunity of considering the question, to such a delay, on such grounds, they could offer no possible objection. Tney believed that the agreement was an advantageous agreement for both parties, and that the more it was examined, and the more fully it was understood, the more certain it would be to re ceive their approbation and confirmation. But, if the object of adjourning were not deliberation, but delay, in the hope that they might be able to effect a better bargain with them, by drawing them into competition with any other company, in that object they would unquestionably not succeed. There was no principle of their policy to which they were more strongly, more inflexibly adhered, than to resist any such at tempt so to coerce them.—(llear, hear.) By their own admissions they had offered them better terms than those which they had actually accepted from the London and North-Western Company ; and he was at a loss to understand upon what grounds, either of justice or of reason, they were entitled to expect more from them. As to the possible, but he hoped not probable, event, however, of their determining to decline the agreement, it would not be disadvanta geous to both companies to consider what other course was advisable. Tne Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver nampton Company might endeavour to treat their line as an independent line, without the aid and ;ssistance of other companies. To such a course there would be no possible objection. It was per reedy reasonable, if it was perfectly practicable. But had they not tried to do so, and had they not 'ailed ? Why, for the last three years alias had they been doing, but making attempts to raise the means necessary fur completing their lines, and what reasonable expectation was there that those exertions which had failed them in the past would be more suc cessful in the future? Or they might make an alli mce with some other company than the Great Western. But this expedient also had been tried, and the judgment which was delivered by Lord Cran worth, delivered about two months ago, would speak the result of this, as he was satisfied it must of every similar one. Tney had, in point of fact, no legal powers whatever to enter into engagements with other companies, and even if such powers could be obtained, the application to Parliament for them would necessarily involve a considerable loss of time. But could they be obtained at all ? The firm conviction of his mind was, that the Parliamentary obstacles which they would necessarily have to encounter, would be quite as insuperable as the legal obstacles which they had already experienced. There was one ether course which they must not overlook nor forget. That course was for the Great Western Company to enter upon and complete the line itself; but though it was a course which might be called unavoidable, it was one which they would, reluctantly embrace, as being injurious to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Company. They had endeavoured, in the sincere wish of making the best arrangements for the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverbanipton Company consistent with their duty towards themselves, and to act towards them in a good spirit. lie was satisfied that the arrangement which their directors had made was a wise and judicious arrangement, suited to the wants and to the interests of both companies, and that if their proprietors, misled by fallacious expectations, should listen to other counsellors, they would find— they might pardon him for saying so—that, as was generally the case when proprietors took the reins into their own hands, they had only involved them selves in inextricable difficulties, danger, and delay. The last time they had occasion to advert to their Oxford and Birmingham line, and to the lines beyond in connexion with it, was at the end of the month of May. On that occasion the measures which were discussed proceeded upon the assumption that it would he hopeless to seek any further arrangement with the London and North-Western Company, at all events until their own system was nearer to completion. Every circumstance that had since occurred had tended to confirm them that they were right in determining to rely upon their own individual resources, and to Jroceed with the completion of their Oxford and Bir- Iningham, and their Birmingham, Wolverhampton. and Dudley lines, with the utmost possible dispatch. They would remember that that course was entirely consis tent withethe recommendations of their committee of mnsultation which sat the year before last, and at page 6 of their report they said—" Your committee strongly ecominend the entire completion of the works so as to enable the Great Western, through traffic of those lines, fu make such arrangements with other companies oorth of Dudley, as may produce the greatest possible raffle upon this route." The works on the Oxford end Birmingham line, as they could see from the report of Mr. Brunel!, were in active progress. He lid not, in that report, advert to the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley line, because it had ways been under the control and management of -mother engineer; but they were taking the best steps in their power to proceed with that line with the ut most possible dispatch; and they had already stated ro the gentlemen who were interested in both those lines, that they contemplated the completion of the one line in May, and of the other in April. That would then carry them to Wolverhampton. Their last agreement with the Shrewsbury companies, which was confirmed by the Great Western, and also by the Birmingham and Shrewsbury proprietors in May last, had since been confirmed by the Birming ham, Shrewsbury, and Chester Company. Those agreements would unquestionably require the sanction of Parliament, and it was their intention to proceed to obtain such sanction in the ensuing session. They had every hope that in that they must succeed. But if from any accident whatever they should tail, they would only then fall back upon their earlier traffic agreements with the Shrewsbury com panies, which were made in the month of January last. They were legal and complete in all re- T eets. They required no further sanction, neither of Parliament or of proprietors, and with those lines, and under those agreements, they should still be able to proceed on from Shrewsbury to Chester. The only remaining link of communication with the North was the Birkenhead line, and for that line the Shrewsbury and Chester Company obtained running powers at the close of last session of Parliament, which would carry them on in one direction to Birkenhead, and in the other by Walton and Altrincham to Manchester. In those powers over the Birkenhead line, neither the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, nor those who acted with them, were actuated by any feeling of hos tility ; on the contrary, they were desirous to con sider them as their friends and allies. They re garded the line as forming an important part of their new system, and it was so regarded by themselves. The London and North-Western Company had an obvious interest in bringing up the formation of a new system of railway communication upon their west. If they could control one link of it, they would destroy the continuity of the entire chain. The first attempt was directed towards the Shrewsbury and Birming ham, but they failed most entirely in endeavour ing to withdraw that company from the engagement into which it had entered with them (the Great Western). They next tried the Shrews bury and Chester Railway, but there also they signally failed. Could there be any doubt whatever that they would make similar attempts on the only remaining link? It was to defeat such attempts, and not for the purpose of invading the Birkenhead Com pany, that these powers were sought and obtained. If the Birkenhead Company would join their alliance , as he trusted and believed they would, or if they would conduct their traffic on a free communication in concert with them, those powers would become little more than nominal, for they would, of course, be used under friendly arrangements between the two companies. He had attempted but a very brief outline of the new continuous system of railway com munication which they had been endeavouring to establish, or which, be would rather say, they had established under local agreements and powers which were sufficient for theupwuropuolsde,baendthwehirichduwv ere bind ing on all parti es. tempe rately, but firmly, to maintain the e position which they had acquired with the force of circumstances, and they did hope that their proprietors would give to them their full support, not only by according to them the ap proval which they had already received from them of those measures, but also by taking a pecuniary t e rest in the ehttree of those lines. m the presenf Establi , bed 1S U t MEDICAL.

[PRIM; prices of those shares, any money invested in them would hardly prove disadvantageous, and it would be most valuable as a counterpoise to several other pecuniary interests now in adverse hands for hostile purposes. With the internal poition of their affeirs he trusted they would be satisfied from the accounts which had been distributed among them. They would perceive that during fhe last half-sear their traffic had increased, and their receipts had g increased to the extent of 48,0001.. while the Exhibition was only open for three months, while the charges of the Commissioners were very hi g h f or t h e l argest h a lf o f that period, and while their own excursion trains were by no means numerous. At the same time, though their receipts had so much increased, and though they bad run so many thousands of miles more, their actual expenditure had diminished. Much of this was owing, unquestionably, to the vigilant economy and care of all thei r o ffi ce i s. But much also was due to the improvements which had been made in many of the old engines, and t o the larger power which had been given to the new engines that had been adopted on their line. By those improvements the traffic of their branches was . most economically conducted by the old ones, while the more powerful engines were better adapted tor the heavy traffic of their m ain lines. Though their ex cursions trains had been so heavy—often carrying from 1,500 to 2,000 passengers—they had scarcely ever been obliged t o use more th an o no engine ; while excursion trains on the narrow gauge lines used generally two or three, and often four. He did not believe he overrated the economy of their manage. ment when he stated that they were conducting their excursion traffic with their new and more powerful engines at one-half the expense which they would have been put to with the old ones ; nor was there such waste of power as was generally supposed in the use of those larger engines for conducting heavy traffic. It was a positive fact that there was a smaller consumption of coke per mile now in those larger and heavier engines than used to be treed in the lighter and older ones. He had thought it due to those gentlemen who had taken so much pains in im proving their locomotive system, to state those facts. —(Hear, hear.) They had obtained in the last session of Parliament a slight advantage with reference to the coals used on their lines. Tney had at last succeeded ' in obtaining a remission of she City dues on the coals used by themselves to the extent of 6,000 tons a year. And they had also obteitied a drawback on all the coal which, being imported within the City limits, was egain exported beyond. However, there being no duty on the coal landed at S aithatnpton, considerable quantities were imported from that route, and were etnployed close to their line. He himself knew of iti stances of coals so brought being u,ed in the neigh bourhood of Reading, the expectation was, that whatever Newcastle coils wire now consumed at Maidenhead or Reading, must and would be carried over their line. there had been a slight increase in the charge for maintenance of the way. That had been examined into, however, and it was found to have been occasioned from a new and mere extensive system of drainage which had just been introduced, and which, though more expensive in the first in stance, would be more economical hereafrer.—(Hear.) Their interest account, also, had increased. They would observe, from a report just distributed amongst them, the circumstances under which the interest on the money expended in the South Wales line was now, for the first time, carried to that account. They would observe, also, that the interest on their Oxford and Rugby line, and their Forest of Dean line, were charged against their current receipts. In point of fact, the only expenditure of capital, the interest on which was not now charged against their current re ceipts, was for the money which had been expended on the short branches of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, between Westbury and War minster, and between Frome and Radstock ; and also on their northern lines, the Oxford and Birmingham, and the Birmingham, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton. However, a very considerable number of their lines, which had been made at the expense of capital, had been entirely brought to a close.—(Hear.) They had pressed heavily on their resources, and yielded to them nothing. In about a month they would open branches to Warminster. In the course of the same period the Forest of Dean line, and the South Wales line, between Gloucester and Chepstow, would be completed ; and he trusted that the period was fast approaching when those works which, being unpro fitable, had hitherto been very properly marked in black letter on the first page of their accounts, would lose that mournful aspect, and become profitable and conducive to a large accession of traffic.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY, at the request of the Chairman, then read the following report, which was received with satisfaction : " The revenue of the company during the half-year which has just expired, exceeds that of the correspond ing period in 1850 to the extent of 47,9811., while the expenditure for the same account, has been reduced by the sum of 3,266/., which two amounts constitute the in creased profit of the half-year, as will be observed upon a comparison of the published statements. " The traffic in passengers has yielded 37,1151. more to the company, derived in nearly equal proportions from every class. The excursion trains are included in it, from which an excess of 5,0001. has been received over the acme period in the former year. ;;" The receipts for merchandise;have exceeded those of 1850 to the amount of 6 7704 ..These results enable the directors, after providing for the interes upon the whole expenditure of capital, productive or non-productive (excepting for the lines under construction and about to be completed), to re commend the same dividend as before,;viz., 4 per cent. per annum, and to leave a balAnce of 49,9101. 9s. 3d. to be curried forward to the next; half-year. " With reference to this balance, the directors are de sirous of representing the circumstances under which one charge in their accounts exists, with a view to as certain the opinion of the proprietors as to the mode of dealing with it " During the continuance of the original agreement with the South Wales Railway Company, your directors were advised that under the covenants of the then in tended lease,ithis company would be entitled, in priority of other shareholders, and before any liability could ac crue to pay rent for the line, to receive the interest during the construction of the railway at 4 per cent. per annum on the shares held by them in virtue of their subscription; but that to establish such claim it ought to be shown, that even although the psyment of interest to others was postponed by the South Wales Company, it had been uniformly charged by this company as being due to them. " In February, 1850, the South Wales Board deter mined to apply all their funds to the works of their lino, and to suspend for a time the the payment of interest to their shareholders generally, expressing, however, their intention to pay it out of capital at some subsequent period. " Acting upon the opinion already referred to, eo long as the original agreement subsisted, interest th t e rn i a n t t e e d re a s s t a a n t asset to be received from them. Duri ng t h e present 4 per cent. per annum was charged in thei r accounts and dbaneneyn noth ca er nce s l u l b ed sti w tu i t t e h d t h e t.or apinst the South Wales Co a m as lly confirmed b y the G reat i s h t a:n l w c f - t h y i i o e c r a h i r o h t t h a s b a o t b t t: a e g n c r o e e m e m p p e e a c n n i t i a e c s h t , t Western Railway Act, 1851. - - " The interest for the current half-year on that sub scription has consequently become a charge upon the present Great-Western revenue, and it being still uncer tain whether the South Wales Railway Company will defray the arrears of interest to their shareholders generally, it is thought desirable, as the prior claim is extinguished, to provide for the liquidation of the arrears charged against that company, amounting to 31,844/. 153. " The directors recommend] that the first receipts, whether of interest or of dividend, from the South Wales Company, should be applied to discharge that amount, but that in the meantime the sum of 10,000/. iu the pre sent year, and 5,0004 annually afterwards, should be taken from the December accounts of revenue for the gradual repayment of it. The auditors have expressed their entire concurrence in the proprietyof that measure. "The same Act which rescinds the original agreement and confirms the new agreement with the South Wales Company, has also ratified the purchase of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, and dissolved that company, and has given legal validity to the lease of the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway. It is enjoined under one of the clauses that the Wilts and Somerset shares shall be consolidated into stock, and this meeting has been made rpecial for the adoption of a formal reso lution to that effect. Full powers are given by the same Act to er ect en hotel at the Paddington station, and to raise th e under a Parliamentary mortga ge on t h e premises,coin money h the additional security of th e reven ues of t he the pany, which, in acc or d ance w i th the resolutions of general meeting in F e b ruary last , w ill be without delay, car ried out " The directors, having regard to t h e importance of as well as the fixing the second line of Indian steame rs ub have consented Cape packets to the port of Plynl h o p over their line, in to put down the electric itil.setgerls- and_ Exeter . coneuirence iithsfuomrthe use and maintenance f w w a h y ieh C a o n m a p n anl the use payable to tile &calls who will construct it at their own Telegraph CompaDY , exprnse.

SI.CRLTARY next rt ad the following report of Mr. I. K. Brutod, the togiueer Main; ~~. r'f~j to onstruot a brola 1 4 tia?t,. lee wolits Oh the permanent way, between Oxford and Banbury, and which has be.en opened and worked as a line, for about a twelvemonth, are in good order, and the second line of rails is now ben,g laid, prepttra t;:ry to the extension of the railway to Fanny Compton, and the opening of the Birmingham to Oxord. The works between Banbury and the junction at Fenny Compton are nearly compleied, and the materittla for the permanent way are in course of delivery. Upon the Birmingham and Oxford Railway at Her. bury, Whitnash, Lramington, and Warwick, the work* are everywhere in active progress. Between Learning- On and Warwick, where the works have been cora. mrlacei only within the last few months, every exertion is Meg made to expedite their progress —upwards of two-thirds of the (mire line ib ballasted, and ready for the permanent way; and I trust that six months will be sufficient for the tymnpletion of the whole distance to Birmingham. Every mean; has been adopted for pro ' ceeding rapidly with the extension into the Snowhill Station at Birmingham, and the junction with the North, Western Railway. The whole of the property has been arranged for, or taken possession of, and the contractor for the extension has received orders ,to commence. With a favourable season, I believe we may rely upon being in a position to open the line by February or March. " Upon the Wilts and Somerset Railway the exten sion to Warminster has been completed, the permanent way is laid, and the line may be opened within a fort night or three weeks. The Radstock branch is in progress. " - The opening of the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway, and the South Wales Railway, between the junction with the former and Chepstow, is delayed by the non-completion of the junction at the Gloucester station and the bridges across the Severn and the Wye. The junction and station at Gloucester had been una voidably delayed by the necessity of effecting a joint arrangement between the three companies—th e hiid land, the Great Western, and the Gloucester and Dean Forest, and which has not been long completed. The bridge across the Severn at Gloucester has also been de layeii, partly by difficulties arising from clauses in the original Act, and partly by the fault of the contractors; and I fear it may be three weeks or a month before the rails can be laid across. .‘ In consequecce of the delay in the erection of the Chepstow bridge, it bas been determined to open the South Wales Railway temporarily, to the east side of the river, and preparations are making fur effecting this, which will be ready as EOM as the line is opened through Gloucester. " The works and the permanent way of the Great Western Railway and branches generally are in ex cellent condition. We have, during the last summer en. irely re laid one line of rails through the Box Tunnel, the timber of which had not been originally creosoted; the cost of this is, as with all expense of repairs, carried to maintenance; and the result of this last half-year again fully confirms the views adopted in uty report on depreciation of plant, of January, 1850, and the eldest.. latiun which I than made. For an annual sum—some what less than that which I then estimated—we have not merely repaired, but renewed the permanent way, so as to render it more perfect, and iu better condition than during the previous year. The accounts having been taken as read, The CI4AIRAf 4N moved that the report be adopted, and circulated amongst the proprietors. A SHAREHOLDER inquired when the Radstock branch would be completed. Mr. BRUNEL said that the contract time of fifteen months had been exceeded from unforeseen (Mimi.- ties, aed that it would probably take twelve months more to complete it. Major COURT expressed a hope that the report in future would be issued on the same day as the ac counts. He wished to know now, how it was that a great number of surplus shares, which they had some time ago, were not disposed of fur the benefit of the shareholders, when the premium upon them ranged from 50 to 100? The Hon. Proprietor also put a few other qu es ti ons to the d i rectors respecting the mode of classing certain details of the accounts, which however turned out not to be important. Mr. ATKINSON, one of the accountants, entered into an explanation with reference to the interest on the South Wales Railway account, which consisted partly of principal and partly of interest.
