The commercial advices from Antwerp report more activity in the coffee market, and a rise of a to 1 cent. advance for Java and St. Domingo, and to cent. for Brazilian. The cotton market was quiet, and prices in clined to go lower. Considerable animation prevailed for raw sugar, and prices have advanced. Tobacco maintains a good position. At Amsterdam there was little doing in coffee, but the market was firm. Raw sugar remains firm also, waiting for the public sales by the Dutch East India Company, which commence on the 9th instant. The demands of the holders of refined sugar are said to re strict dealings. In rice there bad been a great increase of dealings, owing to the reports of the crops. Spices unaltered. Banca tin without demand. In indigo little doing, but the tone of the market good. South whale oil on demand at 36f., but little doing. The letters from Rotterdam state, that owing to the tenor of the accounts from the foreign markets, there was increased firmness for coffee. holders were parti cularly firm, and indisposed to sell. Refined sugar was rising, and raw firm. The demand for rice continued active, and the firmness of the holders had caused a rise in prices. In spices little or nothing doing. In digo firm. Oil in more demand. Southern Whale at 361 francs. The Hamburgh advices mention that the demand for coffee continues very active ou speculative and con sumption account. Ray sugar remains firm at better prices. Refined steady. Rice more in favour, at a rise. Hides firm. In cocoa nothing doing. Oils were i❑ excellent de,aand. Southern whale had gone at an advance. liavre advice s state that the cotton market continues very quiet, as fur days put, without any movement in prices. The coffee market is firmer, and prices have an upward tendency. Indigo in demand fur export and consumption. In hides nothing doing. Dantzic letters of the 26th ult. maution that the mar ket fur grain was very quiet. THE PEACE CON GRESS. The Journal d's Dads publishes the following ar• .icle on the Peace. Congress held lately at Frank fort :—" It is with real pleasure that we announce that M. de la Pelisse is not dead. He appeared lately several times in the church of St. Paul, at Frank fort, at the Peace Congress, where he assumed dif ferent form s —th a t o f a thember of the House of Commons of England, that of a Representative of the French people, of an Ojibbeway Indian, and some others. M. de Pelisse developed some of the great truths which he has always been famous for—that peace is better than war, virtue than vice, fine wea ther than foul, that it is advisable all the world should kiss and make friends. By the organ of M. Ilincliey, he expressed what pain he had felt at seeing a man with a wooden leg, and maintained that a man with two legs was a more useful member of society. What would he have said if he had seen the famous invalid with the a ooden head ? But M. de la Pelisse was really fine under the feature of the Ojibbeway Indian, who was the lion of the Congress. How contend against a man speaking of his pale-faced brothers, and at the end gravely drawing out from a case an unknown object, which turned out to be the calumet of peace ? One of the members of the Con gress related how a Noble Lord, known for his free dom of speech, had called the people of the Congress a set of fools. It is not our fault if they do all they can to merit that qualification. The Peace Congress resembles the man in the story who arrived always an hour too late. It has excellent intentions, no doubt, but it makes every one laugh at it. General Haynau, who was present, must have laughed in his sleeve at seeing the calumet of peace. At present the real pacificator of Germany is the Emperor of Russia, who has declared that ha would turn against him who should commence. That potentate, at least, can do what he says, whilst the Congress proposes only to exercise a moral influence. But where is it ? There is at present a good opportunity to act. Why does it not go to Schleswig and place itself between the two armies ? Apparently because it feels that it could do nothing. Mr. Cobden, who compromises his reputation by these ridiculous exhibitions, ren dered a greater service to the cause of peace .by his free-trade doctrines, than by showing off an Indian. The real Congress of Peace is the great industrial exhibition which will take place next year at London, and the real calumet of peace is the pro tecting pipe which has just been laid across the channel, preserving the wire of the electric telegraph. But in saying this, we do not mean th at we b e li eve that interests ar e the only bonds which can draw men together, and that moral relations are nothing ? Cer tainly not. But to bring about the reign of peace, charity, and fraternity, it is not Governments that ought to be acted on, but humanity itself. What is necessary to be corrected is passions; what is to. be changed is men's minds. But in i the name of what religion—of what moral authority—does the Peace Congress speak ? What mission has it to preach ? In the middle ages, when Europe was under the Chris tian unity, Popes could be pacificatory, because they commanded peace in the name of Divine authority ; but in this assemblage of Catholics, Protestants, and Jews, Which was the other day at Frankfort, what was the moral bond ? The God of peace. But that is mythology." -UONEY MMIKET.—Tne premium on gold at Paris is 81 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.36; and the exchange at Paris on Londo❑ at short being 25.321, it follows that gol.l is 0.14 per ei,nt. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434:1 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17, , . 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.9:':; and the ex change at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13.91, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in llam burgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1104 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0 67 per cent. in favour of Eng land, and after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a profit ou the importation of gold from the United States. • The North British Mail, of Monday, mentions that forgeries have been committed by an agent in Glasgow upon an extensive tea firm in London, to the amount of nearly 1,0001. The alleged forger is supposed to have sailed fot Acuerica. the should not. meeting decided by a l arge majority that he Mr. HARRISON, the engineer, was called upon, and very satisfactorily explained the working expenses, which were actu a lly 33 ' t - per cent. below he Great Western, which Mr. D oug l as had held up as an ex. ample. The expenses on their line included many. items of which th e Great Western knew nothing. He could challenge the world for economy of ma nagernent, and pledged himself to the accuracy of their details. Mr. MAUDE, one of the auditors, addressed the meeting in support of the recommendations in their report. Adopting the mode of calculation used in their former report, they found the sum due for de terioration of engine and waggon stock exceeded by about 5,0001. the sum actually expended. As no sum was set apart for future reparation of rolling stock, they thought that the sums of 5,1001. for new engines, and 6,0004 for new waggons, were impro perly charged to capital. In like manner the charges for Parliamentary expenses included an item incurred in opposing a Bill for a competing railway, which, in their opi n i on, should constitute a revenue charge. fie referred to the o:her points of objection con tained in their report, which he contended were well founded. The CHAIRMAN said that, so far from 'the rolling stock not being fully maintained, every carriage and engine had been kept as completely in repair as pos sible. He also referred to the fact that they had had above 200,000/. unproductive capital during the last half-year, not one sixpence of which had had interest charged to capital, all being provided for out of re venue. He, therefore, thought that they bad had their accounts somewhat severely taxed. In answer to Mr. WATSON, The CHAIRMAN said that there was not the slightest matter of difference between Mr. Hudson and the directors as to the Sunderland Dock shares. The postponement of payment was merely a question of convenience. Mr. Wylie, the other auditor, proceeded to advo• cate the establishment of a reserve fund for rolling stock. He also commented upon other points on which the auditors and directors were at issue, and generally spoke in commendation of the affairs of the company. Mr. IiAMSEY complained of the immense expense incurred by the auditors and their accountants, Messrs. Quilter and Ball, Ile condemned their dic• tation and the agitation which these London accoun tants would keep up. Mr. STACK, of Durham, thought the Parliarnen. tary expenses were properly chargeable to capital ; h e also thought occasional revisions of their affairs and a little agitation were at times useful. When they had no agitation the affairs got into bad hands, and now they were the sufferers. lie did not approve of reserve funds, but would keep up their stock in a state of efficiency from half-year to half-year, making each half-year provide for its own dilapidations. He looked upon the Pensher branch as a most valuable accessory, but clearly the expenses of it s f ormat i on should com e ou t of capital. He thought Mr. Wylie had formed altogether a wrong conclusion as to the distinction between capital and revenue. A SHAREHOLDER asked in what way Quilter and Ball were employed ? The DIRECTORS said they were engaged by the auditors; the directors had no control ,over those gentlemen. The adoption of the report was then put, and car• ried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution declaring that, as it appears to this meeting that the rolling stock is in good working order, and that the same has been fully maintained out of the current revenue, it is resolved that it is inexpedient :to set apart from revenue any further sum for deterioration of the Trolling stock. Mr. LEECHMAN seconded the motion, which was carried with only five dissentients. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend be de clared at the rate of 2k per cent. per annum. Mr. PULLEYN seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution, autho rising the construction of the Pensher branch, which war seconded. Mr. DOUGLAS objected to the item of 15,7601. for contingencies, which he thought was very excessive. Mr. HARRISON explained that, considering the works near Sunderland, he thought that it would not be prudent to state a less sum. Mr. STACK inquired where the funds were to come from ? shares on e AIRMAN said a c per share on the shares on which 201. were all paid would go far to meet the outlay ; but as yet they had not decided whether they should make a call or raise the money by de bentures. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. Tue half -yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday (Tuesday) at York. There was a rather numerous meeting of shareholders, and the meeting was presided over by Mr. G. Leeman. Since the report and accounts were published, a letter has been printed, and was circulated in the room. This letter had reference to the refusal, on the part of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co., accountants, London, to sign the accounts. They state they had not been able to satisfy themselv es that the items of 31,955/. 9s. 7d. interest, and 35,402/. Is. 1 Id. loss, in respect of the Great North of ogland purchase ac count, were correctly treated, and as the correct ad justment of these items would in their view, as at present advised, affect the revenue account, they were not prepared to sign that document; neither could they sanction the omission therefrom of the charge re que,ite to cover the deterioratioa of the rolling stock— viz., 3,400/., as mentioned in the auditor's report, nor the placing to capital account of a large proportion of the charge for Parliamentary expenses. In reference to the item of interest charged to capital, viz., 31,955/. 9s. 7d., they found that it accrued during the interval between September, 1847, and June, 1849, and that the fairness of its charge to capital must depend on the amount of unproductive expenditure outlying during that period. With respect to the item of loss of 35,402/. Is. 11d., it appeared to the accountants that it was of the nature of an interest balance ; and they thought the correct mode would be to treat both items as properly due from revenue, but having re gard to the transactions out of which they arose, their I liquidation out of revenue should be gradual, and ex- I tended over a series of successive half -years. They arrived at the conclusion that these sums ought to be charged to revenue on the ground that capital had been already charged with a sufficient amount of in terest in respect of unproductive outlay. Subject to these qualifications they found the revenue account correct, and that the balance of 62,2121. 10s. Id. fairly represents the net earnings of the half-year. The usual notice of meeting having been read, and the seal affixed to the registered list of proprietors, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to address the meeting. As the report of the directors and the accounts had been in the hands of the shareholders some days, be would assume that they had been read. After the extent of details in those documents the directors did not feel called upon to go at any great length into the affairs of the company. They preferred that the re- ; port should contain all the information necessary for j the shareholders, rather than that they should intrust such information to the transient character of a speech from the chair. The directors know that the share holders are anxious for the closing of the capital ac count, and could assure this meeting that the feeling which animated the shareholders was one which was largely participated in by the directors. They had ascertained that the total capital required to complete the works now in hand would not exceed 10,500,0001. Of this sum 10,400,000/. was fixed and certain expenditure, and only 150,000/. was left contingent. They believed that this sum would not be exceeded; and they did not contemplate any other outlay without the express consent of the proprietors. Their stock of engines, carriages, and rolling stock was so complete and ample as to be fully adequate to carry any amount of traffic which the line can command. The half-year which has just been closed has been one of considerable anx iety to the directors, seeing that it commenced with a disunited proprietary; now, however, harmony pre vailed, and whatever other companies had contem plated, it was clear that this company was not one to repudiate any engagement upon which it had en tered. As to the future prospects of the company, he observed that it possessed 290 miles of railway; of these, 150 miles formed the eastern route from Eng land to Scotland; and this railway, by means of its trunk and branches, formed the medium of transit for nearly all the coal raised in the counties of Durham and Northumberland. It had also a population large in extent, who were a locomotive people, and from whom a great local passenger traffic must be com manded. He believed that the non-completion of their railway had deteriorated their traffic, an im pression having gone abroad that the temporary bridge over the Tweed was not safe. Now, how ever, the permanent bridge was opened under most auspicious circumstances, and already they had evidence of the benefits dived therefrom. Th e Great Northe r n - Infvvay "bein4 opened, he en tertained no doubt would materially in fluence the future traffic or this railway, by increasing the travelling by the eastern route. Their coal traffic and their local traffic were also increasing. Of the 28,000/. increase of receipts during the half-year, 25,000/. had arisen in the quarter between April and June ; and the traffic from the 30th of June to the end of August (which was since the close of the last half-year), showed an increase of 12,000/., or an average increase of 1,500/. per week. He had men tioned these points to show the steady increase of traffic which was taking place, and the promise of fu ture prosperity thus apparent. The chairman next referred to the points of difference between the auditors and their accountants and the directors. He showed that the items in the capital account to which Quilter. Ball, and Co., had taken exception, were clearly rightly charged, and that they did not belong to re venue. The engines and carriages were additions to original stock, and not purchased to replace worn-out engines and carriages, and clearly could rot be fairly charged to any particular half -year's traffic. On the other points, he referred to deciAons of former meetings, showing that those decisions supported the directors, and that equity and justice confirmed the directors in what they had done. He complained that Quilter, 13a11, and Co., were at tempting to denude the shareholders of that dividend which their line had fairly earned, and which they proposed. With respect to the Pensher Branch Rail way, which the committee of investigation had re commended should not be made, the directors found on entering office that the land had all been contracted for and works let to an extent of 80,0001. by their predecessors. The landowners had filed two bills in Chancery to compel the formation of this branch, and legal proceedings were threatened. Then the dock at Sunderland, in which this company had a great interest, would be materially benefited by this branch, and the town of Sunderland had long complained that their route to the south was circuitous, and that if this company would not make the Pensher branch they would find other parties who would gladly do so. As to Mr. Hudson, they had received the 50,0001. for premiums on shares as arranged ; and as to the Sunderland Dicks, the company held ample security for the sum owing by that gentleman. With re ference to the future management of this company, he referred to the necessity of appointing a master mind to give a more constant supervision to the company's affairs. After most mature consideration, the directors came to the conclusion that it would be for the interest of the company not only to secure the continuance of Mr. Harrison's services as engi neer of the company, but at the same time to vest in him the supervision of its general business, and they had made arrangements with Mr. Harrison to devote the whole of his tine at a salary of 1,200/. a-year. In conclusion, he moved the adoption of the report. Mr. KIPLING seconded the motion. Mr. DOUGLAS, of London, asked how it was that he had not received his copy of the report till Friday, when other shareholders had received theirs on Wed nesday. same Th e SECRETARY said they were all posted on the day. er . t Mr. DOUGLAS made sotne comment s on t h e passen graffic. During the half-year th ey h ad carried 1,500,000 passengers, and on these th e y h a d ga i ned only lid., per passenger. He deemed the report mos g unsatisfactory, and complained o f deficient manage t menu. If they a ll owed this to go on, they would soon be without a dividend at all ; the working expenses were frightfully heavy. The reduction Fin dividend this half-year entirely arose from the indiscreet re duction of first-class fires. He complained of the extent of miles run upon this line, and commented upon the Great 'Western Company having beneficially reduced the number of miles running, and at the seine time they had kept up their receipts. The South- Western had reduced their working expenses by one .welfth. But on this line, the Newcastle and Ber wick, they saw their dividends falling, while their working expenses were rising. He thought that the working expenses ought to be and must be reduced, and he contended that he had proved, by reference to other companies, that it could easily be done. A question was put as to what was the technical objection respecting the Auckland Bill which induced it to be abandoned. The Chairman, in answer to Mr. Douglas, proceeded to show that that Bill was withdrawn in consequence of a combination of that person and other parties with the Leeds and Thirsk Company. This was met by a denial by Mr. Douglas, who declared that what the Chairman had said was totally false; upon which the Chairman vindicated the accuracy of his statement. Much angry personality ensued, and finally the meeting evidently became weary of the obse—iations on this and othe r t op i cs. Upon this, Mr. Douglas asked if the men who interrupted him were paid for doing so. The Chairman replied, with all the indignation to which words could give effect, that they were not. Ultimately the CHAIRMAN took a show of hands whether Mr. Dwigllvs 5h91114 be further helirdi when Mr. RAMSEY suggested they should have the ar rears of calls collected. The CHAIRMAN pledged himself that there was and should be every vigilance. Another SILAREHOLDER asked what promise there was of a return of re►enue from this branch P The CHAIRMAN said that the directors had endea voured to ascertain the probable additional traffic which this line was likely to produce, but had found it exceedingly difficult to form any estimate. It would, however, open an important portion of coal district, and there was a prospect of additional local passenger traffic. There was also a great interest held in the Sunderland Docks by this company, whose business would be greatly augmented by this branch. Mr. CHAYTOR had mode considerable inquiries in the district as to the traffic to be derived from this branch, and had collected important documents ; the result was, in his opinion, a justification of the con structio❑ of this branch. lie thought a very large increase of traffic would ari6e, realizing from 5 to 10 per cent. on the outlay, probably 7i per cent. In answer to a question, the CHAIRMAN said that the line would be seven miles in length. The CHAIRMAN said the company had incurred legal liabilities which they could not avoid, and there fore the directors asked for the powers to construct the branch. As to the Auckland branch, they were not under similar stringent liabilities. The resolution was then carried nearly unarni mously ; also a resolution empowering the directors to apply to Parliament for additional powers. A resolution was passed authorising the consolida tion of such shares into stock as have had all the calls paid up. - Mr. RAMSEY moved a resolution that the salaries of all officers receiving 100/. and upwards be pub lished with the half-yearly accounts ; also the parti culars of every contract entered into. Mr. MITCHELL seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the directors, objected to this proposal, as being invidious and calculated to be prejudicial to the interests of the company. Mr. DOUGLAS inquired whether Mr. Harrison would be paid for superintending the construction of the Pensher branch, beyond his allowance of 1,200/. as general manager ? The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Harrison had offered to superintend and take the entire responsibility of the Pensher branch for 501. per mile. Mr. JOWETT, Mr. WYLIE, and other shareholders, having addressed the meeting on the motion proposed by Mr. Ramsey, A division was called for, when the numbers were : For the resolution, 20; against it, 33. The moti on was consequently lost. Mr. RAMSEY demanded a poll, but ultimately with. drew it amid,t much uproar.
