Sir W. Magnah the pre. sident, in the chair. _ _ The directors in their report, stated that they had recently concluded an important treaty with the Paris and Strasbourg Railway, by which their own line was to .be extended 7 miles from Arlon to Aubange, on the French frontier, and which would be accompanied'hy a prolongation of - the - Strasbourg Railway from Thionville to Aubange. Their line would thus become an integral part of the great European railway from the North Sea to the Mediterranean. The directors had also deter mined the basis of mutual arrangements for the tariff and service of both the lines. The Soci4te Gene rale du Credit Mobilier having also consented to become the Paris Bankers of the company, would open the French market freely to their shares, Negotiations en tered into with the concessionnaires of two Belgian lines, called the Grand Junction, warranted the expectation that the company Would obtain from them the transfer of a, concession they had obtained from the Belgian go vernment of two lines from Tamiues to Landen, and from Groenendeal to 'Nivelles, passing by Waterloo. These two lines the length of which, together, would be about 50 miles, would become branches of their own line, and would secure to it considerable traffic. The con struction of these two lines would be completed in the space of two years, at an outlay of 040,0001. ' (16,000,000 f.), whilst the the return expected would exceed 1,6801.

Moldavia and Wallachia were virtually independent for many generations before the Muscovite Czars began to interfere iu the affairs of the- South. ; and they are at present only valuable to Turkey as a neutral ground, interposed between the "proper dominions of the Sultan and the fro4itier of his restless adVersary. Confident that Europe will sooner or later compel the aggres sor to relinquish the spoil he has seized between the Pruth and the Danube, the Turkish Govern ment is prudently endeavouring secure a pledge for peace by pressing hostilities against the weakest point of the enemy's position. The successful resiSt alio° which Scliamyl has, for many years, opposed to the undivided forces of Russia, affords reasonable ground for hoping that, with the energetic assist ance of the Ottoman; be may succeed in expelling the invader from the country south of the Cau casus. Although the Imperial troops cart always secure an entrance into the southern provinces by means of the flotilla on the Caspian, their position could scarcely be maintained if bath the mountain passes and the western road should be closed against reinforcements. • .

Qui si parla Italian. War opriont man Doutach. Aqua 50 habla Espano WESTMINSTER PAROCHIAL AUTHORITIES. Yesterday Mr. Bedford held an inquiry into the cir cumstances connected with the death of Caroline Callowan, aged 40 years, which took place in the work house of St. Margaret's, under the following extraordi nary circumstances : . _ _ - Margaret Bailey, No. 29, St. Ann's-street, deposed that the deceased went to lodge at her house about a week since. She only slept there at night. Deceased was in good health up to Friday morning last, when she sent for witness who found her very ill. She (deceased) was very sick. Witness assisted to dress her, and took her out, intending to take her to the hospital. As they passed the workhouse, deceased said she would sooner go there than to the hospital. She sat down on the steps, and witness knocked at the workhouse door, and she was answered by a man. Witness said, " This woman is very ill ; " and the man answered, " There is no doctor here, a n we can't help her." Deceased was sitting on the step. The man shut the door in witness's face. Witness went away, and left deceased there. James Thomas, 84 B, deposed that on Saturday morning last, about eight o'clock, his attention was drawn to a woman lying on the pavement in York street, near the workhouse. She was very weak and unable to speak or stand. He went to the workhouse, and was told that if he took the woman there they would take her in. Witness took her as far as the door, when the-porter said, "Do you know that woman is beastly drunk I" Witness said she was not in liquor, and took her inside. He smelt her breath, but there was no smell of liquor. The man still said deceased was in liquor, and 'witness told him to send for the master. Just then a man came from the , . master, and said that deceased was to be taken to the probation ward. Witness said he had better see the master, but the man replied, "The master can hear all you say, and when you have done, I will take her to the ward." Witness left her, and came away. , James Best, B 111, stated that he was on duty in York-street on Friday night, from nine o'clock until six the next morning. At a quarter-past nine he saw de ceased and several other women sitting on the steps of the workhouse. She said she had been there since twelve o'clock in the day, and had applied to be admitted but was refused. He knocked at the door, and told the watchman that several women were sitting outside in the bitter cold. The man said they could not be ad- mated, as there was no rbotn. At half-past ten deceased went away and returned at two o'clock, when witness again applied for her to be admitted, but was again re fused. Deceased was still there when witness went off his beat, at six o'clock. Deceased might have been drinking, but was perfectly sober when he saw her. Mary Ann Hewitt, nurse at the workhouse, deposed that she saw deceased, on being admitted on Saturday morning, when she appeared tipsy. She was sick, and threw up some rum. Deceased was put to bed ; she could not eat anything. Deceased was seen by Mr. Hicks, assistant•surgeon, who ordered her some tea. Witness saw the deceased walk along a passage about half-past eleven, and when she got to some stairs she fell, striking her head against the stone stairs. Deceased was carried back to bed, and was again. seen by Mr. Hicks, but she died at eight o'clock that evening. By.the Coroner—Deceased Ate a hearty dinner half an hour alter the fall. She struck her nose and chin,. which were cut. _ Ann Freeman, another nurse, gave evidence in Cm , roboration of the last witness. Deceased (she said) fel on her face. Mr. Hicks, assistant-surgeon, deposed that he saw de ceased about nine o'clock op Saturday evening. She had evidently been drinking, but was not drunk then.. He ordered nourishment for her. He saw her again about six o'clock, when she was in articulo morns. Heard she bad had a fall, which had brought on concus sion of the brain and caused death. After the fall she could not have eaten a dinner. By the Foreman—lt was a very uncommon thing for concussion to be caused by a person falling on his or her face. Mr. J. S. Lavies, M.D., Eccleston-terrace, Pimlico, said he had made a post mortem examination of the body. There were three bruises on the head, a small bruise on the back of the head, and tWo• extensive wounds on the face. There was no injury to the skull. The membranes of the brain and the brain were con gested. There was an unusual quantity of fluid in the arachnoid membrane. Those were the consequences of concussion, from which, no doubt, the death origi nated. There was no question but that cold would more or less produce the appearances. 1 By the" Coroner—Witness was not connected with the workhouse. His father was sttrgeon to the workhouse. Mr. James Elliott, the master of the workhouse, said it was unusual for the deceased to have been refused ad mission. He knew nothing of her being refused when brought by Mrs. Bailey on the Friday. Isaac Betts, an inmate, deposed that he was on duty at the door from seven o'clock on Friday , morning until five o'clock on Friday afternoon. i. Mrs. Bailey, recalled—She could notentify Betts as the man who refused debeased admission nn the Friday. The . jury, having consulted some ti e, returned a verdict, " That the deceased died fro concussion of the brain, consequent upon a fall caused by her being in a weak condition of body." The Foreman added that he did not believe one word about the drunkeriness, and it was the opinion of the jury that there was great laxity at the ,workhouse, and also that something on the part of the'parochial officers, especially at this inclement season, should be done for the comfort of the applicants at the workhouse. On behalf of the jury, he must say that Mrs. Bailey had and that Instthe ie police had c ac o t n e d d u v c e t ry ed h th u e m c a a n s e e ly w a it n h dk y, an great indl care The Coroner told the master of the orkhouse that f something should be done to prevent • e possibility of persons being. refused admission by th door-porter, as in the present case. , The proceedings then terminated, .6. BANK OF IRELAND.—The half yearly meeting of the court of proprietors took place on Monday, Mr. John Barton, governor of the bank, in the chair. The fol lowing report was read :—" That it i opinion of this s n 3e court that a dividend of four per cen be made to the proprietors of bank stock, free of i me tax, for the half-year ending the 25th inst.

THE CORNISH FISHERIES. —Vast quantities of pil. chards have visited the coast of Cornwall during the past week ; but the catches have not been so large as on pre vious occasions, owing, it is said, to the neglect, of the fishermen themselves. At St. Ives from 6,000 to 7,000 have been brought ashore, and have been sold at is. 6d. per dozen. At Gunwalloe and other places they were observed in shoals, but only a few hogsheads were secured. The fisheries on the Devon coasts have not been so prosperous as in former seasons, although in a few localities the fishermen have been very successful. The average price of herrings, which are scarce, is about 6d. per dozen. It is possible that the affair at Sinope may, tem porarily at least, have the effect of preventing the free despatch of supplies and troops from Constan tinople to Batoum ; but there is reason to believe that the Turkish forces in Asia stand in little im mediate need of any considerable accession of strength. Moreciver should the proposed negotia tions prove unsuccessful, the allied fleets must, at no distant period, 'enter the Black Sea, with the view of precluding the recurrence of similar casual ties to that of the 30th November. There can be little doubt that a mere demonstration by the mari time Powers would place Turkey in a position of perfect equality withher adversary; and it is scarcely to be expected that they will abstain from more ac tive interference, if negotiations are finally broken off in consequence of the obstinacy of Russia. It is not unnaturally. suspected that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg may listen to the proposals of the Great Powers, with the mere purpose of gaining time for preparation ; but the prospect of further successes being obtained by the Turks in ?Asia will furnish a strong motive for sincere attempts to restore peace. The friends as well as the enemies of Russia have reason to welcome any events which may tend to render the prolonged continuance of the war more improbable. The adherence of the German Powers to the European league affords a sufficient proof that the pending proposals are con ceived in no spirit of animosity to the Court of St. Petersburg; but their success must depend entirely on the conviction which events may have produced on the mind of the Emperor Nicholas that war is a dangerous experiment. The desired object will assuredly not be promoted by menaces of an Hellenic insurrection in Turkey, or by protests against the subjection of Christians to a Mahometan Power. Prince Menschikoff's visit to Constantinople was mysteriously preceded by ominous rumours of the same description ; and it was in the same quarter, and on the same apo cryphal authority, that a rising in Constantinople and a massacre of the Christian population were announced to take place early in the autumn. The capital has remained tranquil—the provinds have not rebelled—the Government of the Sultan steadily perseveres in its course of justice and toleration ; but Russia is, by her own fault, involved in em barrassment, and, according to custom,.the great protector of order' has recourse to revolutionary threats and intrigues. It is fertunate that ,ex perience has enabled us to judke of the amount of success which Russian agents are likely to achieve in their efforts to excite rebellion against the Sultan. It is scarcely possible that' the ostentatious announcement of an insurrection,' positiirely fixed for the ensuing spring, will either render the Porte more pliable, - incline the Western Powers to suppdrt the vagant demands of the Czar. The camp of Ismail ' Paella at lialafat is a strong argument against t§:3 Russian propensities of the anti-nationalfaeti4rOn Servia ; and we can readily credit the repoits which indicate the eagerness of the Imperial gene rals to - recover that important position. It is a significant illustration of the general policy of the. Court of St. Petersburg, that Milosch Obrenovitz,, the pretender to the princely authority, .is at the present moment at the. Russian head-quarters, ready to be employed in exciting civil war in his native country. The- threat of rebellion in Bosnia is far less for midable than that of disturbances among the semi independent people of Servia. The Mahometan aristocracy of the former province have already evinced their determination to forget all rodent grounds of discontent, and to rally round the head of their religion ; whilst the Christian population have the strongest motives for loyalty to a Govern ment which has shown the most energetic determi nation to vindicate their civil rights. Only three ' years have elapsed since Omer Pacha put down, with equal vigour and hureanity, the resistance offered by the local chieftains of Bosnia to the in troduction of the Tanzimat. The Christian pea santry were, at that time, eager to supply the Sul tan's troops with all that they required, and grate ful for the efficient protection which they received ; and it is. highly improble that they will, on the present occasion, accept the invitation to rebellion which is published in furtherance of the designs *-Of Russia. - It is a -convenient fiction of Muscovite agents . that European Turkey is inhabited by a Greek po pulation, following the same rite with the Russian Church, and oppressed by an alien minority of Turks. The truth is, however, that that portion of the Eastern Church which acknowledges the su premacy of the Patriarch of Constantinople regards the Russian Emperor as a schismatic ; and the clergy are well aware that their own independence would be sacrificed in the event of a conquest. The _Hellenic race, which is sedulously represented as the destined successor to the Ottomans, is about equal in number to the Turks in Europe, and bears a comparatively small proportion to the ag gregate population of the Empire. Althoug acute, ambitious, and skilful in commerce, the Greeks display little of the dignified integrity which redeems many of the defects of the Turkish character. But it is enough for our present pur pose to suggest that the demand for Hellenic su premacy, means civil war, accompanied by the dis memberment ,of the Empire, and terminated by the easy victory of Russia. Until the present in vasion, the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia d never been so severely oppressed as under the had never been so severely oppressed a,s under the dreek Hospodars, whom Russia had compelled the Porte to substitute for the native princes. Neither Bulgaria nor Bosnia would endure the sway of an alien race ; and even if the frontiers of the present kingdom of Greece could be extended to Constan-' tinople, the northern provinces, wiftahtheirSci4 vonic population, would necessa r ily the under dominion of Russia, if the power of the Sultan were broken: Before determining on the expulsion or subjec tion of the Turks, Europe will do well to consider how the object is to be attained, and why it is to pursued. The gallant n a ti on w hi ch is now pressing Russia hard in the Caucasus and on the Danube will not be talked or intrigued out of the territories which it has occupied for four hundred years.

BIEMINGHAy, WEDNESDAY. The annual dinner in connexion with this show took place last night, at the Royal Hotel, under the presi dency of Earl Howe, who was supported by Lord Cal thorpe ; James Baldwin, Esq., the Mayor ; Mr.' New ' degate, M.P., Mre Spooner, M.P. ; and amongst the company of 150 were Mr. Chandus Wren Hoskylls, 'of' , Wroxa,ll Abbey ; Mr. Alderman Lucy, Mr. Alderman Hodgson, Mr. Alderman Phillips ; Mr. William Ma -thews; of Corbyns Hall, &e. Amongst the toasts given was, of course, "The Agri cultural Interest," proposed by Mr: MATHEWS, Who observed that if, a few months ago, he had been called on to propose that toast, it would have been in mourn ing, and with sackcloth and ashes ; to bewail the fate of what was once the embodiment of all prosperity ; to lament over it as having seen the best of its days. But these short mouths had passed by ; and instead of be wailing agriculture as in Vie last stages of senility and decrepitude, we find it ftill of lusty life; the silky sides type of its str ong an d h ealthy of the fat stc c k they saw that- c y ,bein. but a feeble lated those ar oun d hi m on this happy combination of condition. lie cangratu circumstances. Th e pursu i t of agriculture found always a warm sympathy- from every mitewho * a se heart was in the right place. (Ch eers .) . Th ere was no pursuit, how ever up pleasingto enjoyp r p tiie pleasure .they involver} ‘N'er not desirousgzeu giving of ral life. Ile felt that his old friend, the Mayo -a e , aged & he was in manufacturing, had more pleasu'rein-a l survey ing his stock- of fat...euge than in -hi s civic honours.r (Cheers and laughter.) There could not be 5 - 4 - & - iitit of it ; he turned like Ciucinnatus to his farin_ again. There were things which . could not be debated in assemblies such as that ; .but this he might be allowed to say, , that ho delighted in this Con . dition of things, not only on its own account, but that there was a total abandonment of all the .fallacions and monstrous doetiines which were formerly enun ciated, namely, . that the agricultural interest could only exist by the sacrifice of the manufacturing interest; and that manufactures could only-flourish amidst the ruins of agriculture. All these delusions were vanishing, to the delight of every thinking man ; and now Ephraim no more shall envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. (Cheers.) Their only rivalry now should be in doing • the best they could under their different cir cumstances. Now, although there he did not desire to enter on topics on which differences of opinion might prevail, yet he might be allowed to say that corn and currency had a larger signification than the world gene rally supposed. (Hear, hear.) The walls of that room he had heard more than once re-echo with the subject ; and he might venture to make one slight allusion to the new position in which the agricultural interest was placed by the question 'of the currency. From the year 1340 to the year 1560 the average price of the quarter of wheat was only 18s. A little previous to 1650—in 1648—the discovery was made of the mines of Mexico and Peru, that brought an entire change over agriculture and all other interests. In twenty years the prices of corn and other commodities were nearly tripled, and wheat bore the proportion of nearly 50s. a quarter for the next two, hundred years. Then came acts of Parliament, corn laws, followed by dis putes' strikes, and differences of opinion, political and social. Now, it seemed as if Providence, having pity on our defects, brought in its own bill of Cali fornia' and Australia—(hear, hear)—a bill to which he looked with most sanguine expectations—which, if they. did not interfere with any crotchetty plans of their own, would put every interest in its proper posi tion. They had disputes, strikes, differences between the employer and. the employed, with faults on the.part of the men, and perhaps too high a tone on the part of the masters ; but he bad such a strong faith in the An glo-Saxon good sense of the country, that he hoped soon to see :Ahem get beyond all aberrations of this kind ; that they would find all interests united—their only rivalry the emulation of well doing. Speaking as a large employer of labour, and as expressing the sentiments of those in a similar position, he could say that they looked to see the day when every man should be able sometimes to sit under his own vide and fig-tree, in the enjoyment of the pleasures of a country life. All hail, then, to agriculture. He had to ask them to drink success to it, and he did so with the very best wishes of his heart. (Loud cheers.) The health of Mr. T.B. WebEtT, the founder of the Ex hibition, having been given, that gentleman responded. With regard to the progress which the society had made, he said that he thought there w as every reason for congratulation, and for the opinion which he for one entertained that their future prospects were most encouraging. Their meeting this year, as he had said, was in all respects satisfactory, and everything tended •to show that their society had attained a per manent character. It was the conviction that this was the case that induced the council to deter mine upon a great extension of their operations, by the ann - ouncetnent of a first exhibition of store stock and agricultural -implements, to be held in June next. (Cheers.) The prize list for stock to be shown at this meeting had been for some time in the hands of the princi- -pal breeders, and he was glad to know that it had been highly approved, and that many gentlemen had, already promised to become competitors. lie looked upon the store show as a most important extension of the isocietyrs operations ; and he did not disguise it from himself, as he would not from that meeting, that the work now.tidertaken would entail a vast amount of tesiionsibility upon the council, and require for its ac ccanplithment a very complete organisation, and an efli cifent staff. In faq, every one interested in the success of what had- been so well begun, should be prepared to afford the Inost active assistance ; while those to whom the actual management was entrusted should each take for his guidance the well known proverb, that "nothing moves without being moved." (Cheers.) It "was un doubtedly a most desirable thing that a great agricultu ral meeting should be held in the centre of England, in a town affording and willing to supply tree most excel lent accommodation in all respects, and in the centre of a district in which had been found many of the most intelligent and successful agriculturists of the present time, both landlords and tenants. The marvel was, not that their progress hart been so rapid, but that in the midland counties, with- all the materials at our hands, we had been so late in the field with a movement of this kind. (Hear, hear.). Their show had increased with such rapidity, that every year brought the same work with regard to the fittings and the reception and disposal of the stock ; and this year, owing to the extraordinary character of their Poultry Show, the labour had been vastly increased. Arduous as it was, however, it had been cheerfully undertaken by a few members of their council ' • and the entire approval of all that had been done, both by exhibitors and visitors, would, he was sure, be most gratifying to those gentlemen. (Cheers.) CHANDOS WREN HOSKINS, Esq., observed that their thanks were peculiarly due to the manufacturers of im plements, because every implement they produced was an increase of power to the human hand, and thereby an extension of the power of the human brain, to which the hand was the minister. Its final uses were physical, but 'they knew that physical power lay at the bottom of moral and intellectual nature, and was the foundation of the highest aims and the highest accomplishments of the human race. It was with much pleasure; therefore - , that he gave " The Manufacture rs o f A gr i cultural Im ple - (Cheers.)

These proposals secured to the Luxembourg Company considerable profit ; and stipulations had be en added giving to the shareholders the right to take part in the formation of the new company s capital, to be employed upon this land, and upon certain districts in the neighbourhood of our line abounding in valuable quarries. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting that the directors had been at length enabled to surmount the difficulties which had beset them at the commencement of their operations, and had succeeded in completing ar rangements which must tend largely to the benefit of the company, and, as he believed, ensure the permanent value of the property. The financial scheme proposed might seem intricate, but a very slight consideration would show that it was founded upon equitable princi ples, and with a due regard to the rights of all classes of the shareholders. The motion was seconded by Mr. ANDEBTON, Some conversation ensued as to the terms upon which it was proposed to convert the several classes of shares, the motion for adopting the report was then put and carried, six hands only being held up against it, in a more than usually crowded meeting. Mr. Rover moved, and Mr. ANDEETON seconded, a resolution, ratifying the provisional treaty of alliance entered into by the directors with the Paris and Stras burg Company, which was carried, as were other resolu tions to authorise the board to assume the concession of the Belgian Grand Junction line, and to carry out the proposed arrangements in regard to capital, and the other recommendation contained in the report ; and after a vote of thanks to the chairman, and a similar compliment to M. Bossenge and the secretary, the meeting separated. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.
