BARCLAY, TN' kftliwzit.— On Saturday, the °l:lth inst., the neighbour-_ hood of Dorking, Surrey, was visited by a terrific storm of thunder, lightning, en d h a i l, during which t h e Milton Court Pond was swelled to an unusual height, and the waters over flowed their banks and poured with great fury through the flood-gates. At the time of the storm Mr. D. Barclay W 53 riding to his brother's house at Bury-hill on a pony, which took fright at the noise of the water, and backed into the pond with him{ rider, at a place where the depth was about fourteen feet. The pony swam ashore, but Mr. Barclay was carried down the stream to the flood-gates, when a boy named Quaite, who had seen the accident, ran to his assistance, and caught him by the hair just as he was being sucked under the gates. In this position he managed to hold Mr. Barclay until Mr. Wells, the renter of the adjoini ng mill, and some of his men arrived at the spot, when it was found necessary to tie ropes round his body, and to use clothes-props and other means to extricate him from his perilous situation. Mr. Barclay was then conveyed almost senseless to the miller's house and placed in a warm bed. He was soon well enough to be removed to his brother's residence. So great was the sensation created in the neighbourhood, that thanks were offered up in the village church for Mr. Barclay's safe de liverance. Since the accident the pond has been railed off to prevent any Moe dagger. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

A question of the deepest and most vital import ance to the tranquillity and security of the Anglo- Indian Empire will to-morrow evening be brought under the consideration of the British Senate. Sir EDWARD COLSIIROOKE has given notice that he w ill then move for a " Select Committee to inquire into the rights of succession of the allied and dependent Princes of India." Every exertion will unquestion ably be made to avoid. discussion, and to get rid of the inconvenient topic by the House" wind. The ordinary emphatically will ruse of " cou n ti ng ou t of be resorted to, and we wou ld u a e time they of y chosen representati ves o f th e peoplehou d a n that attend apathy,h in the intention, in order that they s and in d shouldtheir p p l o ac t, es by o th n eir th c e ulpa o lae c i casion negligence permit the august assembly of which they are mem bers to be brought into contempt and disrepute by the success of an expedient so stale and paltry. It is the noblest characteristic of the British Par liament that it is ever ready to attend to the remon strances of tiv.; oppressed and injured, howe ver l ow l y and humble, that every well-founded complaint shall receive an anxious and attentive consideration. Any alleged violation of the existing laws, or any acknow ledged deficiency therein, to meet a particular case, will be fully investigated, and ample justice done to the aggrieved parties, and this, not only where they have received actual damage, but where there is reasonable cause to suppose that such may be inflicted at any future period. The love of justice is deeply im planted in English hearts, and nothing will more powerfully excite the public indignation than any indifference to that sacred principle. If " might could prevail over right " on any occasion, or under any circumstances, the constitutional rights and Tiber. ties of the community would be seriously endan gered. But so long as the dictates of honour and integrity are respected in the Legislature—so long as everything in any degree savouring of tyranny and oppression be sternly and firmly repressed—so long will the chosen representatives of the people be rewarded by the respect and admiration of their respective constituencies—so long will they maintain the high position they have attained, as the first deliberative assembly in the civilized world. The parties now claiming justice at their hands, now appealing from the partial and prejudiced de cisions of the Board of Directors, are, however, no mean or helpless body, whose entreaties could be despised or rejected with impunity. They are the so vereign chiefs and princes of India, wielding de spotic authority within their own dominions—power ful for good or evil, and capable of being useful allies or formidable enemies. Individually they would be in capable of resisting the British force, and separated and divided by mutual suspicions would fall easy victims ; but if once their fears are excited for their common safety, if once united, by a sense of general danger from the unjustifiable aggressions and grasping policy of the Anglo-Indian Government, a combined and determined opposition may be organized that would imperil the very existence of our Oriental dominions, and which, under the most favourable circumstances, must occasion sanguinary and expensive wars, more injurious to British interests than any territorial ag grandizement or increased revenue could possibly compensate. This appeal to the ultimate tribunal has not been made until every other resouree had been exhausted. Repeated remonstrances have already been addressed to the Court of Directors and to the Proprietors of East India Stock by some who have rendered the moat important services to the Company, and who have acquired large fortunes and great experience during prolonged residences in Hindostan. For the last few years, since the erroneous and mistaken line of policy now complained of was first entered upon, Mr. R. SULLIVAN and many efficient and distinguished coadjutors have let slip no oppor tunity of exposing the " career of harshness, selfish ness, and injustice which has shaken the confidence of every principality throughout India in British probity and honour," and of endeavouring "to ar rest the progress of encroachment upon the hereditary and indefeasible rights of the tributary and dependent states, with which we have formed alliances ;" but in vain. The magnates of Leadenhall-street have opposed a stubborn and pertinacious resistance to every attempt to awaken them to a sense of equity. They have endeavoured to meet the powerful cases to which their attention was directed with sneers and ridicule, and have passed by, as utterly unworthy of notice, arguments which they were incapable of an swering or rebutting. In this most injudicious course they have, we regret to say, been sanctioned and supported by a majority of the proprietors, who flippantly decided, on questions of the nature and merits whereof they were wholly ignorant. In this manner were the claims of the cruelly-persecuted and deeply-injured PaurAufs SUSAN , and of his youthful heir and successor, the de jure Raja of SATTARA, slighted and set at nought, and the usurpation of his dominions by his affectionate friends and faithfal allies, the Honourable Company, sanctioned and confirmed. In this manner have resolutions been passed by which the Company " virtually as serted its right to confiscate for its own benefit the territories of any native prince of India whom it should have pronounced to have died without heirs." They have thus directly invaded one of the most sacred customs and highly cherished privileges of the Hindoo law. They have refused to recognise the " right of adoption," which was never controverted until within the last few years, and to claim the old feudal rights of lords paramount over independent so vereigns, with whom they have entered into solemn treaties to succeed to the sovereign inheritance on the failure of direct heirs of the blood. The treaties are thus openly violated and set at nought, or, what is almost tantamount thereto, the more powerful party claim to interpret the, disputed clauses, and to take part as prosecutors and judges in their own cases. It is, as we have said, but recently that this mon strous doctrine has been promulgated. The entire tide of precedents had formerly flowed the other way. But in 1848 the subject-was again brought under the notice of the supreme Government at Bombay, who dealt with the matter as if it were entirely new, overlooking all former decisions on similar points. This extraordinary judgment was approved by the directors, and subsequently confirmed by the Court of Proprietors, specially convened for the purpose. It has naturally excited the deepest and most painful sensations in the minds of the native powers, who are equally astounded and enraged at the audacity and injustice of these iniquitous pretensions. They had previously seen similar questions mooted, but in fifteen out of sixteen cases that had occurred between the years 1826 and 1846, the decision bad been in accordance with equity, and diametrically opposed to the:more recent assumption, which, indeed, was never put forward until the accession of the Earl of ELLENZOROUGH to the Governor-Generalship of India. Many statesmen had previously used the clearest and most intelligible language in speaking of the rights of the native chiefs and princes. In deed the doctrine was so fully recognized that even where the party had been guilty of grave offences, the innocent heirs were not punished, or held in any degree responsible for the criminal acts of their " adoptive fathers." None had spoken more distinctly and more unequivocally upon this topic than the late lamented Earl of AUCKLAND. That distinguished nobleman had used these remark able words respecting the ease of the Raja of OORCHA, in which the broad principles on which the British Government in India should ever act were fairly and lucidly explained " I cannot (said the Governor-General), I cannot for a moment admit the doctrine that, because the view of policy upon which we may have formed engagements with :native princes, may have been by circumstances materially altered, we are not to act scrupulously up to the terms and spirit of those engagements." And again : "I have referred to our treaty with the Raja of Oor cha, and I find that its preamble commences in these words:—' The Raja of Oorcha is one of the chiefs of the Bundelkund, by whom, and his ancestors, his present possessions have been held in successive generations during a long course of years without paying tribute or acknowledging vassalage to any other power.' And the treaty formed with the Raja is designated as one of friendship and alliance,' the territory, which from ancient times had descended to the Raja by inheritance, and is now in his possession, being guaranteed to the said Baja, his heirs and successors. Upon words so distinct and positive as these I hold it to be impossible to raise a question, and I am of opinion, therefore, that the Raja of Oorcha must be regarded as one of those sovereign rulers who, according to the very proper rule laid down in the letter of Sir Charles Metcalfe, of 28th October, lii37, is entitled to make an adoption in his own discretion which the British Government is bound to acknowledge, provided that lsuch" * • adoption be regular and not in violation of [fie` Admitting the right of the Raja for the reasons which I have stated to adopt an heir, I am not disposed, after much reflection on the whole subject, to mix up our recognition of that right with the sapient consideration of the punishment that may be duo to him for unwarranted opposition to the British power." These were the views of an able and honest states man, of one who occupied, at various periods, no in considerable positions in the national councils, and one who enjoyed the respect and confidence of his colleagues in the Ministry at the period of his lamented death. But these just principles are now wholly dis aanlly.the reg T a o rde th d o a se nd w de h s o pis d e e d sir b e y t r h u e ll E i a n s f t o l rm nd a i t a io C n om on p cases we would commend the admirable speech of Mr. SULLIVAN to the proprietors of East India fully talented reported Sn Tthei The Sun k , o n tohfe the 7 t 9 A t hp instant. I s , t which T w h a a s t gentle man indeed brought forward an immense mass of information on the occasion, and the clearest and most unanswerable arguments in favour of the conclusions at which he had arrived. Nothing was omitted that could be desired ; but, as we have already stated, the pro prietors supported the directors in the unjust and in judicious line of policy which they had determined on following. Nothing, therefore, remains but an appeal to the honour and integrity of the Imperial Parliament, and that appeal will be made to-morrow evening. No immediate decision will be asked for. It is not desired that Members should pronounce final judgment upon a question respecting which many must be in comparative ignorance; but in quiry —full and ample inquiry—is demanded, with a view to future legislation; and we cannot suppose that such a request can be rejected by a body of un prejudiced and honourable gentlemen. Elsewhere in our impression of this evening will be found printed the sixty-six clauses constituting the Metropolitan Bill for Extramural Interment, recently introduced into the Legislature by the Government. To the pernicious principles lurking in this pro posed enactment we would most earnestly beseech the attention of the community—satfsfied, as we are, that unless the Bill undergo a radical alteration in Com mittee, its effects must prove most prejudicial to the interests of the population. Several times already we have expatiated upon the evil consequences certain to result from an enactment so erroneously contrived ; yet it is impossible for us to abstain from all allusion to its baneful characteristics upon the occasion of our submitting to the notice of the readers of The Sun the whole framework and substance of this Ministerial measure. Hence, we find ourselves compelled to revert again to the matter previously discussed in these columns, even at the risk of an apparently superfluous repetition. Once more, therefore, we must be permitted to particularize the various clauses of the Bill in regard to which we have previously specified our objections. Briefly then, those clauses are numbered-4, 6,7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 25, 39, 46, 48, and 49 in all twenty-two ' clauses collectively. For individual comments upon those clauses, the curious are referred to the leading columns of this journal, dated Saturday, the 20th, and Monday, the 22d instants. Therefrom it will be perceived that the Cabinet are disgracefully endea vouring to propitiate the favour of the clerical party in behalf of their projected innovation by subordi nating the interests of the people to those of the ecclesiastical establishment. Than this we are per suaded from experience that nothing can, by any pos sibility, be more detrimental to the cause of hu manity, of morality, of justice, or of true religion. For the direct consequence of such a pro. ceeding must naturally be to compensate the clergy for depriving them of a loathsome system which has hitherto proved most profitable to them selves, while generating disease amongst the multitude, fearfully increasing the extent of the annual morta lity, and dissipating many of the nobler instincts of our nature—those instincts which invest death with sentiments of a peculiar sanctity. We appeal to Reason, and we ask if such a mode of truckling to ec clesiastical authority is calculated to elevate the opinions of the masses in regard to the Church Estab lishment ? We appeal to that sense which is upper most in society—the sense of the common decencies of existence, and we ask if such a method of purchasing the right of seemly sepulture is likely to enhance the amount of the popular veneration for our ecclesiastical functionaries ? So far from the Bill in question being of this tendency, it must be apparent that the disclosure and recognition of the intentions of the Government will militate inevitably against the interests of.the clergy, by rendering their wealth and their power yet greater objects of unpo pularity. No doubt of it, the mere circumstance of her MA JESTY'S Ministers bringing in a Bill for the organiza tion of a system of extramural interment, is one, considered irrespectively of its precise details, in which the people of England may find profound cause for exultation. Let the ostensible boon, how ever, be scrutinized, and the rejoicings of the multi tude will very speedily become hushed. The popular intelligence will recognise, on glancing through the proposed enactment, that the apparent benefit is of a nature calculated to prove a source of serious incon venience and, disadvantage immediately it is at tempted to be carried into operation. Simply, then, it should be recollected that the present scheme has been forced upon the reluctant acceptance of the Government by the force of a great movement from without, a movement commenced by an ener getic citizen of the metropolis no less than twelve or thirteen years ago, and subsequently taken up by the medical profession, and pushed forward by the co operation of a numerous and miscellaneous body of sanitary reformers. At length, we say, the force of this generous agitation has compelled the Ministry to acquiesce in the necessity for improve ment—the present Government measure has been in troduced into the Lower House of Parliament—and parties begin forthwith to congratulate themselves upon the prospect thereby presented to them of the immediate realisation of all their hopes regarding a rational system of extramural interment. A momen tary examination of the Bill suffices to scatter all these brilliant illusions of the fancy into notbingne3s, leaving in their stead a fear for the serious and evil consequences of the innovation. For, very naturally, we ',become dismayed on perceiving that the whole of the administrative power of the in tended cemeteries must ultimately pass into the ' grasp of the ecclesiastical authorities, in consequence of the miserable contrivance of the whole measure. By such a mistaken and most pernicious arrangement the Bill in its operation would be rendered altogether nugatory—conferring power upon those very individuals who should be especially restricted from interference in a matter of emolu• ment. According to certain clauses, already parti cularised by ourselves, it should be remembered also that rates are to be levied by the governing board, and that governing board ecclesiastical in its ulterior character I What do the ratepayers of the metro • politan districts think of such a prospect as that ? We doubt not they will find it anything but agreeable. Nay ! we are very far, indeed, from having speci fied the whole of the many serious objections capable of being brought forward against the projected scheme of the Government. In its very title the Bill is most exceptionable, the words of that title indicating clearly enough the intention of the Cabinet and their clerical allies—shall we say indi cating the project of Sir GEORGE GREY and the Lord Bishop of LONDON—namely, that of reserving the power of opening or closing any graveyards (no matter even if full to repletion) en or near London! Now, such a reservation as this, it must be quite ob vious, is entirely incompatible with the notion of any really good and effectual reform in the way of organizing a system of extramural interments. All intramural burial-grounds, without distinction, should be peremptorily closed by the enactment, saving and excepting, of course, the vaults of such great national edifices for the entombment of the illustrious, as West minster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. Otherwise the improvement will only be specious and apparent. Another change required in the Ministerial scheme, to render it beneficial to the entire community, is, of course, the extension of the desired benefits from the metropolis to the rest of the populous towns and cities throughout England. As it is, however, we leave the Bill in its present state for the con sideration of the multitude, satisfied that its evil character will be at once recognised, and sanguine that the pernicious clauses enumerated in the columns of The Sun may undergo a wholeso me revision in Committee. AFTERNOON EXPRBSS MAIL TO IRELAND.—POST OFFICE NoTicE.—On and. after Wednesday, the Ist of May, newspapers, as well as letters, will be forwarded in the bag for Ireland which is dispatched by the Express train leaving the Euston-square station at 5 P.m. (Sundays excepted). Letters and newspapers for this dispatch must be posted at the receiving -offices in London before 2 r.m.,—at the Branch-offices in Lom bard-street, Borough, Charing-cross, and Old Caven dish-street, before 3 P.M.,—and at the General Post -office. St. Martin's-le-Grand, before 3 30 r.ar., and they will arrive in Dublin early the following morning. LYMINGTON, SUNDAY NIGHT.—The nomination for the election of a candidate to represent] this borough in Parliament, in the room of the Hon. Captain Keppel, is to take place on Monday, and should a poll be demanded, the election is fixed for Tuesday. Mr. Hutchins, who was re jected at Soathampton in 1841, was early in the field on the Liberal interest. He is fiercely opposed by Mr. Andrew Stuart. a Protectionest, but up to the present moment the success of the latter is considered doubtful. A very close contest is anticipated. We believe we are in a position to affirm that the negotiations between the Courts of London and Madrid, re lative to the renewal of diplomatic relations, are now virtu ally and satisfitctorly (?) concluded.— Post. DEATH OF MRS. EDMUNDS (MISS M. CAWSE).—_ We have to announce the death of Mrs. Edmunds, better known under her maiden name of Miss Mary Cawse. She died on the 14th instant, after but a short illness, of bron chitis, leaving a family of six children to lament her loss— the profession, too, has lost a bright and amiable ornament. Miss Cawse received her musical education under Sir G. Smart, and rapidly gave promise of those abilities which at an early age placed her in the foremost rank of our English singers. For several years no concert was complete without the aid of Miss Cawse and her sister. TRING, READING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY. —The dividend of 10s. per share from the assets accruing under the winding-up of this company, is now in course of payment on between 5,000 and 6,000 ehares. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. The ballot for the election of a representative for Paris commenced yesterday at nin6 o'clock. It is said that the Government has thrown every possible obstacle in the way of the voters desirous of procuring the various voting tickets at the mairies, the avowed object being to procure per fas aut nefas the return of the reactionary candidate. The reactionary journals, while indignantly de nouncing as false the statement which appeared in the National on the subject of the votes of the soldiers in garrison at Orleans, are now compelled to admit that those statements are true, and that the majority of the soldiers did vote for EUGENE Sus. The Nationulof Saturday, publishes other returns from the army, from which it appears that 61 have voted for EUGENE SUE and 22 for LECLERC. The candidature of M. LECLERC is accounted for by the fact that his chief clerk is the nephew of M. CARLIER. He is therefore put forward as the representative of that most immoral of all systems, the system of the French police. M. LECLERC is, in fact, the cat's-paw of the ape of FOUCHE. M. CARLIER has now proscribed all the Republican journals. The National, Voix du Peuple, and other democratic journals contain the following curious circular : " The news-venders have just received notice that the sale of democratic journals, both within and without doors, is absolutely interdicted. All the efforts of M. Cartier to prevent the sale of democratic journals will only serve to increase the number of their readers. Henceforward every workshop, every wine-shop, every restaurant, every lodging•house, every place, in tact, in which the working population assembles, must be pro vided, at least, with one democratic journal. We are ready on our side to make all necessary sacrifices. and we reckon on the support of our countryman. We will open a subscription list for the sake of defraying the gratuitous circulation of democratic journals in Paris and in the departments." The consequence of this attempt of the Prefect of Police of the Republic to give a monopoly to the Monarchical journals will be to greatly increase the number of regular subscribers to the denounced journals, and to cause their gratuitous circulation throughout France. The Army budget came on for discussion in the Chamber on Saturday, and the Legitimatist General GRAMMONT declared that it might be necessary to remove the seat of the Legislature from Paris to some city, inhabited by etres bien pensans. This was hailed by the Left with cries of " The mask is thrown off;" which brought up General D'HAUTPOOL, who hastened to repair the damage done by the blundering candour of his brother Legitimatist, by declaring that the Government never would countenance such an idea. The declaration will, however, produce its effect at the Paris election, and will induce many a bon Bourgeois to pause before he supports the pet of the enemies of the trading interests of Paris SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived. There has been another row at the Palace. The KING Consort it appears turned sulky, as he always does after an interview with Father FULGENCIO, and declared that on the accoucheinent of the QUEEN, he should quit Spain and publish a manifesto to the World. NARVAEZ was sent for, and a Council was held, at which the KING'S presence was required. He refused to attend and was at once placed under arrest. While in durance he was visited by Queen CHRISTINA, who brought him to the Council, where he apologised for his conduct and promised to behave better for the future. There are rumours that he is merely the tool of certain personages, who, unless careful in their conduct, may find themselves some fine morning travelling under guard to the frontier.

DmvosronT.—The following is an extract from a letter received by Mr. George Tucker, of Pembroke-street, Devon port, on Wednesday, dated Hong-Kong, February 27th, from his son, who is a master's assistant on board her Majesty's ship Hastings : . _ "We have just received intelligence by an American whaler, of the arrival of Sir John Franklin and his party at the Sandwich Islands. They saluted that place im mediately they anchored, after an absence of five years. They have discovered the north-west passage; most probably they have been frozen up in the middle part of that passage for nearly 3 years. The captain of the whaler informed us that Sir Juhn Franklin dispatched his first-lieutenant over the isthmus, to sail immediately for England with the intelli gence."—Devonport Independent of Saturday. THE ELECTRO-CHEMICAL TELEGRAPH.—An ex periment was made yesterday at the Elysee, by order of the President of the Republic, of the electro-chemical telegraph of M. Bain. The telegraph was fixed up in the grand saloon of the palace, and soon after one o'clock the experiments commenced. M. Bain, the inventor, was accompanied by Mr. M'Dougall, by Mr. Walkinshaw, and by Dr. Lardner. The President was attended by the Minister of the Interior, his chef du cabinet, and M. Chevalier, secretary-general of the Presidency. M. de Persigny, the French Ambassador to the Court of Berlin, was also present. M. Leverrier, of the In stitute, who has taken great interest in the invention of M. Bain, and who was present on Thursday at the Ministry of the Interior, when the telegraph conveyed a long dispatch to Lille and back, a distance of 325 English miles, in less than one minute. explained the process to the President of the Republic. The Prince comprehended rapidly the prin ciple and the mode of execution, which, he said, were almost marvellous, and complimented M. Bain on the labour and intelligence which he had displayed in bringing his invention to such perfection. As an instance of the extraordinary powers of this telegraph, we may mention that in the pre • sence of the President of the Republic, a dispatch contain ing 1,327 letters was conveyed in 55 seconds, being at the rate of nearly 1,500 letters per minute.—Galignani of Sa turday. A SMASH.—On Friday afternoon one of the so called safety cabs, with a spirited horse, the property of Mr. Rickards, of Unicorn-yard, Oxford-street, dashed into the shop window of Mr. Fitchew, silversmith and silver-metal manufacturer, No. 400, Oxford-street, destroying the large plates of glass together with the sash-frame, scattering the pavement with Mr. Fitchew's valuable stock, a great portion of which was so crushed and bruised as to become only valu able as old silver. Several articles were stolen by the mob, which, in so great a thoroughfare, is soon collected. The horse was severely cut and otherwise injured, but fortunately the driver escaped with little apparent injury. This is one of the numerous evils arising from cab-stands occupying the best parts of our greatest thorougfares, and of the bridles or bits being removed to feed the horses while on the stand, and the drivers dozing on their seats the while ; thus, if anything occur to startle the horse, the lives and property of the public are entirely at its mercy. FALMOIITH, HELSTONE, AnD PENZANCE RAILWAY —On Saturday the Master in Chancery ( Sir George Rose) proceeded with the settlement of the third list of shareholders in this concern, containing 275 names, and decided that all those were liable to contribute towards defraying the 6,0001. outstanding liabilities, who had not by letter or otherwise re pudiated their allotment of shares after application made far such allotment. It was contended that in consequence of the company not being completely registered there was no part nership and no liability; but his Honour decided that the objection, if entertained at all, must be taken to the court. WEALTH AND PROSPERITY OF LEEDS —We un derstand that at the sungestion of Jos. Bateson, Esq., the mayor, and several other gentlemen warmly interested in its prosperity, a subscription has been commenced for the pur pose of giving prizes for three essays "On the Elements of Wealth and Prosperity in the Borough of Leeds, with suggestions for their further Development." It is hoped that a sufficient sum will be raised by private subscription to enable the subscribers to oiler such an amount of money in prizes as will be an inducement for able writers to employ their talents in the competition. It has been proposed that 2001. be awarded for the best essay, 1001. for the second, and 501. for the third. For the last few years Leeds has not kept pace with the progress of some of the other manufacturing and mercantile towns in the West Riding, and it behoves its inhabitants to know, in order to provide a remedy, what is the cause of that depression which has for some time affected the value of much of its building and other property; but the depression is capable of removal if the natural advantages and numerous resources of the borough and district be pro perly cultiyeteJ.—✓Leeds intelligencer. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER Y 0 THREE. _ _ The tales cf Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 500 American, 600 Egyptian, and 1,000 Surat on speculation. The market closed firmly.—ln Railway Shares there was little or no altera tion to notice • the business was limited ; and prices were still tending downwards. Wheat is higher in Mark-lane to-day, although there are lair arrivals of foreign reported. The extraordinary and continued abasement of railway property is naturally bringing forward numerous parties with suggestions for remedies, and in most of the latter there may be something tangible discovered, though differences of opinion will arise as to their un reserved application. In a communication by Messrs. Railton and Sons, of Manchester, addressed to their clients, they urge that the directors, who should be few in number, and paid an adequate salary, should not be allowed to hold any of the capital stock of the company, but be regarded as servants of the company, having to attend to their unbiassed dutis, and they then proceed to remark that " One established form, and an effective audit thereof by independent auditors, must be rigidly adopted; and all further dreaming of rotiry board making contrivance to teach new men their business must be abolished, to make way fur experienced paid directors, to be always at their duty—with one genend manager, supported by their authority, to hop a watcal eye over the heads of every working depert ment—and each department reporting to the ga nerel manager daily how matters move under his tire, which must be strictly observed; and the general manager should IN pert accordingly to the board—which may be few in number—say one to aid the general manager by his advice in the coaching department, another in the goods department, and a third as general referee, to b at the place where the board is established, and where they should ail assemble some part of every day—both directors and general manager—the better to under stand each other's views on business aff..irs; a fourth director may be added if absolutely required. For every department the best talent may always be secured at its experienced worth." The power of voting at meetings, it is contended, should be restricted to persons holding not less than 3001. or more of stock, and rezistered for three months previously, though all shareholders might be allowed to be present. and a board of appeal composed of three or four shareholders might be formed• to assist the directors when called upon. Proxy voting must be better regu lated, and it is observed in conclusion that "No trouble should be spared, or perseverance be relaxed in, till placed on a well-sustained principle, to vie in the at traction of surplus money for trading or investment pur poses, comparr.tively with any other, he the nature what it may; and the more such surplus csoital can be made to support productive public works fixed at home, the better will it be for our native industry and capital, when thus bound together under the directiou of honourable and skilful care. " When new projects are embarked upon, the sub scribers should be forced to let ep the deposit-receipt till an Act of Parliament is got, or rejected. If got, a registered certificate will be issued, with which the pro prietor may trade ae he pleases with safety to the public and himself ; but, if rejected, the account should imme distely be settled to avoid all further trouble or obliga tion, and the full deposit paid back, leaving the unfortu nate, crafty projectors—to say the least of them—to sustain every liability they have incurred, by attempting to lead the public deceitfully astray tor their own advan tage. This rule established would be a tolerably sure protection to those the most needing it at all times. " Aris's Biriningham Gazette of to-day states— " Tne little that has been done in the iron trade during the past fortnight has been of an unusually life less character. Prices remain much the same as at quarter-day, and the orders which were supposed to be withheld on that occasion, with a view to tarn the scale in favour of lower rates, are still not orthcoming, so that either that object is not yet considered imprac ticable, or these assumed requirements are not of a very urgent description, if indeed they existed at ail in any other shape than the fanciful figments of philosophising speculators. We are also sorry to learn that the local consumption of the district, which up to the present time has escaped the general depression, is now considerably shortening, in consequence of a relax ation in the demand for most of our principal articles of manufateure. In the wrought nail trade around Dud ley this falling-off is reported to have been so extensive that it has been considered necessary to issue notices for a further abatement of the miser able wages hitherto given, and the operatives are refusing to work at the reduction. In other branches the same steps are being resorted to; while the railroad interest, another great source of home consumption, hes met with a further depfeciivion, and is still more unfavourably looked upon by capitalists. The exports that during the last two months seemed to have revived a little from the gradual decline of the previous quatter, though not to the extent of the transactions in September, are now stated in the last accounts from the shipping ports, both here and in Wales, to be falling off as Accounts of the 231 inst. from the Leipzic fair state that the sale of manufactures had not been active, and there was a limited attendance of German buyers as usual at this sensor, the Russian, Polish, and Greek dealers being those who usually purchase, although they did less than usual in consequence of the weather being protractedly wintry in its character. A fair number (tf transactions had been entered into in furs, and the sale of Russian products, which was to commence in a few days, was likewise expects d to be lively. It is stated from Trieste that great facilities are to be afforded for the transmission of letters and telegra phic communications received from India, so as to es tablish, if possible, a superiority over the Marseilles route. At Hamburgh, last Friday, the rate of exchange on London was 13 9, and the price of gold 4351. The kinds were firm. Business in the Colonial markets was not brisk. There are arrivals from South Australia, Port Philip, and the Cape of Good Hope, the 11 azih, &c., but gene rally with the same d ,tes as those recently to hand.
