The CHAIRMAN replied that all the A shares would be called up before April, for the coastructien of the St. Ives and Wisbeach line, and B would be devoted to the purposes of the Maldom and Witham line. C and D would be ap plied to the purposes of such lines as Parliament might grant iu the present session. The shares would carry divi dends so soon as the lines to which they were applied came into working operation. A pledge had already been given that until these York Extension shares were exhausted ,no further creations would be made. When all those shares were paid up, they would become Eastern Counties' stock. A PROPRIETOR thought it would be better to exhaust the calls of A before any were made in B. The Bill was then approved of, as were also the following : A Bill to authorise the purchase, by the Eastern Counties .Railway Company of the North Woolwich Railway, and the lease of the pepper warehouses and "wharfs of the East and West India Dock Company, and the construction of docks in connexion with the North Woolwich Railway. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Syston and Peterbarough Rail way, in the parish of Etton, in the county of Northampton, to the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Bolton Junction Rail way, near Folkingham. A Bill to enable the Eastern Ccuntics Railway Company to enlarge their London and Stratford stations, and to amend some of the provisions of the Acts relating to the Eastern Counties Railway Company. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Eastern Counties Railway, at West Ham, to or near the Victoria Park, with Branches to the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Wisbeach, St. Ives, and Cam bridge Junction Railway, in the parish of Somertham, to the town of Ramsey. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Eastern Counties hallway, near Cambridge, to the Hertford and Ware branch of the Northern and Eastern Railway, with branches. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Eastern Counties Railway, near Cambridge, to the Bedford and Bletchley Railway, at or near Bedford, with branches. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Northern and Eastern Rallis ay at Hertford, to the Great Northern Railway, near Hitchin. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to Make a railway from the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near the Forestgate station, to Southend, with branches. A Bill for making a railway from the Maldon, Witham, and Braintree Railway, near Braintree, to llalstead. The CHAIRMAN said the next was A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Northern and Eastern Railway, at Tottenham, to or near Guildford-street, with branches to the East and West India Dock and Birmingham Junction Railway. The length was a mile and a half, and the capital a million and a half. Several shareholders objected to the last Bill. The cost was too much. The CHAIRMAN said the directors were prepared to with draw it. They took the opinion of the shareholders on those Bills in accordance with the standing orders, but they did not bind themselves to proceed with all the Bills should reasons arise for withdrawing any of them. The Bill was withdrawn, and the two following Bills were agreed to A: Bill to authorise the purchase, by the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, of the Maldon, Witham, and Brain tree Railway. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Company to make a railway from the Great Northern Railway, near Spalding, to the Nottingham and Lincoln Branch of the Midland Counties Railway. In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN stated that the A shares would be allowed to carry dividends from July next, payable in the following January, and after the former month the A shares would be divided from the B. In reply to another question, The CHAIRMAN said there was no truth whatever in the statement which had appeared in one of the railway prints, than it was his intention to resign owing to his being unable to agree with his colleagues on the subject of the management of the line. He felt that his character and reputation were bound up in the prosperity, and should any event happen requiring his retirement, which he did not for a moment anticipate, he would take care that the shareholders should be informed of the fact by himself. He repeated, however, that there was no foundation whatever for the rumour which had gone abroad, and he hoped to remain with them till age incapaci tated him for business.—(Cheers.) A vote of confidence was then passed to the chairman and directors, and the meeting terminated.

SUGAR.—To-day there was a falling off in the demand for all descriptions of raw Sugar for home consumption, and the quantity brought forward being very large, and exceeding the wants of the greeers, refiners, brewers, and distillers, whilst there was no speculative demand, a decline in prices consequently took place. Fonerax.—This afternoon Foreign Sugar met with little attention privately. M public sale 2,596 bags of Pernam buco sold under former rates. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with caution by the home trade, although there were sellers upon lower terms. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with a dull sale at former rates. In Loaves a good deal has been done. MAuerrars—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius Sugar submitted to public competition was very large, and amounted to 20,204 bags, and 241 casks, the chief part of which consisted of the better descriptions.. The merchants were eager sellers, but submitting to a fall on the rates of Is to 2s on yellow and brown, and 6d to is per cwt for grey kinds, induced the trade to purchase the principal part offered. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at the public sales of Bengal, consisting of 4,710 bags, the biddings were languid, and the rates accepted exhibited a decline of is to is 6d for white, 6d to Is for grainy yellow, and is per cwt for brown; bat nearly the whole found purchasers. INDIGO.—The market has assumed a brisker appearance for East India suited both for home consumption and ex portation, and prices have taken an upward tendency. The quarterly sales of East India commenced to-day, and con sisted of 9,509 chests. The sale has gone off with spirit for the new goods, but those marks that ware bought in, in pre vious sales, have not sold quite so well. COFFER.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon met with less 'Attention, and 1,419 bags at auction were only in part sold, but former rates were sustained. Native is less wanted. Of Singapore Java 1,923 bags were submitted to public compe tion, and all taken in at 38s to 40s for good ordinary, and at 32s to 32s 6d for damaged, which is above the value. COCOA.—There has been much inquiry after West India, • and further advanced rates are offered. The parcels on offer have been readily cleared off the market; indeed the supply is not sufficient for the demand. Tan.—There has bean more activity in the market for Black since the issuing of our last number; holders have shown firmness, and supplied the market less freely with all descriptions. In Congou a good business has been transacted by the town and country trade at the former currency. Of New Tea many parcels have been disposed of, and the quality is superior to that of last season. In Pouchong the operations are to a larger extent, and at firm rates. In Green Tea of good and fine quality a large business has been transacted, and at firm rates, but in the lower sorts only a moderate business has been dane at present, notwithstanding the low prices at which there are sellers. The arrivals of Tea have been less than they were last year, whilst the deliveries are larger, and the stock is much the same as it was in 1846 at this time; still all kinds are cheaper. SAGO.—The demand has been active, and stiff prices have been paid. Sago Flour is wanted. SALTPETRE.—To-day there was a good desire evince d to operate in rough, but sti ff er rates being asked, c heck e d business, and 729 bags of Calcutta at pu blic sale were tak en in rather above the value. Sputrrs.—To-day the purchases made in all kinds of Rum small, and for all purposes, altbough 28t0 ithehistisockcoeixuhpaibriedts the large deficiency of 3,660 puns and with this time last year, but holders refused to take lower rates for any sort. OlLS.—There has been a large business transacted in Olive Oil, and holders manifest much firmness, although some parcels have been received. The consumption continues large, although prices are much above these of this time last Se Rape Seed Oil has bee n in extensive re q uest, an d prices On . are still rising, whilst the supply is on the decrease of all descriptions. Linseed Oil has seen in excellent request by the house trade, and many purchases have been made for exportation. Cocoa Nut Oil is less wanted. Fur Palm rather lower rates having been taken, occasioned a good demand. In American Lard Oil a fair amount of business has been transacted. Of Fish Oils none has been submitted to public co mpetition since our last report. Ther e are further arrivals of Cod, but of all other sorts they continue trifling, and the deliveries being good, a further dec rease h as taken place in tke stock. Cod cannot be quoted , higher. TALLOW.—Holders of Russian on the spot have been eager sellers since our last report, and l argely _ supplying the mar ket, produced a fall in prices of 9d to Is per cwt. Other sorts of Tallow are offered upon lower terms, still the amount of business transacted has been u p on a small scale only. - THE NEW RUSSIA. 7TUTION. The following is t e continuation nances, of which the greater portion - j•esterday : ORDINANCE OF THE 3D OF FEBRUARY, 1847, RESPECTING THE PERIODICAL ASSEMBLING OP THE COMMITTEE OF THE UNITED DIET AND ITS PRIVILEGES. " We, Frederick William, by the Grace of God King of Prussia, &c., after having taken the opinion of our Ministers of State, make the following ordinance, in pursuance of our letters patent of this day in the matters of the affairs of the Diet, respecting the periodical assembling of the Committee of the United Diet and its functions. Sec. 1. The Committees of the Provincial Diets are to be convened to form the Committee of the United Diet, accord ing to the regulation laid down by the ordinances of June 21st, 1842. The former Princes of the Empire in the province of West phalia, as well as those in the Rhine province, are to be entitled to depute from amongst themselves two members each to the Committee of the United Diet, who may participate in its proceedings either in person or through plenipotentiaries from the members of the Estate of Nobles of the United Diet. Besides this, a deputy is to proceed to the Committee of the United Diet from each of the provinces of Prussia, Branden burgh, Pomerania, and Posen, to be elected by and from the members of the First Estate entitled to single or collective votes. As regards the province of Pomerania, the Prince of Putbus is to assume this post without election, so long as he remains the only nobleman in the province possessed of the qualification specified. The election of the other members of the Committee is to take place at the United Diet, in accordance with the ordi nances of the 21st of June, 1842, throu g h th e representat i ves of the several provinces; but in the interval between one United Diet and another as hitherto—viz., at each Provincial Diet. .N ON _ ne official ordi a red in The Sun of Sac. 2. The Committee of the United Diet will be con vened by us as often as a necessity arises therefor, but at the furthest four years after the close of the last assembly of the same, or if a United Diet has been held in the mean time, within the same lapse of time after the close of the latter. We shall require, as a general rule, from the Committee of the United Diet requisite advice, according to the general law of the sth June, 1823, respecting the laws which have for their object alterations in the rights of persons and pro perty, or others than the alterations in taxation designated in section 9 of the ordinance of this day upon the formation of the United Diet, if these laws concern the whole mo narchy, or several provinces ; and we hereby confer upon it the privilege of giving such advice, with full legal effect. The regulation in Art. iii, No. 2, of the above-mentioned law is annulled by the present regulation. As, however, we have already reserved to ourselves, in the ordinance concerning the formation of the United Diet, the right to require from it opinions of the same kind, in appro priate cases, we will equally reserve to ourselves the right to submit laws of the above-mentioned description which con cern the whole monarchy or several provinces, in exceptional cases, for the opinion of the Provincial Diets, if this should appear advisable for particular reasons—for example, for the sake of dispatch. Sec. 4. The Committee of the United Diet, as the represen tative of the United Diet, is to attend to business relating to the State debts, pointed out in our ordinance of this day on the formation of the United Diet. Sec. 5. The right of petition appertains to the Com mittee of the United Diet to the same extent as to the United Diet itself. lierefrom are excepted, however, all pro• posals having alterations of the constitution of the Diet in view. Sec. 6. Should we find ourselves induced to make commu nications to the said Committee of the United Diet upon the State finances, the regulations of the 11th section of the ordinance on the formation of the United Diet are to come into full operation. Sec. 7. The conduct of business and the presidency of the Committee of the United Diet is to be assumed by a Marshal, to be appointed by us, who will be represented in Can of need by a Vice-Marshal, to be similarly appointed. Sec. 8. The Committee of the United Diet is to deliberate as an undivided assembly. Its resolutions are, as a general rule, to be adopted by a simple majority of votes. Petitions and complaints are only to be laid before us if they have been voted by at least two-thirds of the members. If the Committee of the United Diet declares itself on the deliberation of a law, against the law, or. some of the provisions of the same, by a less majority than that above mentioned, the views of the minority are also to be laid be fore us. Sec. 9. The Provincial Diets are to communicate to their several Committees no instructions or proposals for the Com mittee of the United Diet. Sec. 10. The regulations of the 17th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d sections of the ordinances of this day, on the forma tion of the United Diet, are also to come into full operation in the Committee of the United Diet. Given under our hand and royal seal at Berlin, February 3, 1847. FREDERICK WILLIAM. ORDINANCE FOR THE FORMATION OF A DEPUTA TION OF THE DIET FOR T HE AFFAIRS OF THE STATE DEBTS. We, Frederick William, &c., ordain as follows :- 1.

The election must only fall on persons who are memlers of the Diet in question. If one of the elected members loses the qualifi cation before the lapse of the sexennial period, he is also to secede from the deputation. If, however, his secession is caused by his not having been re-elected as a deputy of the Diet, he is to remain a member of the deputation till the next Diet. To each member of the deputation two locum tenentes are to be chosen, of whom one is to replace him in case of emergency, as well as in the event of a vacancy occurring in the interval between one Diet and another.

The deputation is to elect a President at each meeting, who must be presented to the Minister of the Interior. The presence of at least five members will be requisite to constitute a valid act of the deputation. Given under our hand, &c., Berlin, Feb. 3, 1847. FREDERICK WILLIAM. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of W. 17s. 10 1 44. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.40; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 432 i per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 / 4d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.81 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.4 it follows that gold is 1.53 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 106 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 3.58 per cent. against Eng land. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. The last quotation of the exchange at St. Petersburgh on London was 400. per rouble at three months' date. According to the usual calculation that 100 sovereigns will yield 60 59-100 gold imperials at St. Peters burgh, the transmission of gold would give an exchange of 38 45.100:1. per silver rouble ; and the gross profit on the operation would be about 44 per cent. ; from which, however, would have to be deducted the loss of interest and charges of transport. LYCEUM THEATRE.—Last night a monster-concert, to use the recognised expression, took place under the aus pices of the speculative Mr. Allcroft, who had gathered around him the majority of our most recognised vocalists and instrumentalists for the occasion. As the programme con sisted of three parts, comprising no less than forty-eight pieces of music, we shall not attempt to give any details further than the bare mention of the artists employed. These were—Madame Albertazzi, Madame F. Lablache, Misses E. Birch, Bassano, Steele, A. and M. Williams, Re ell, Hill, S. Novelle, M. B. Hawes ; Messrs. Harrison, Allen, H. Phillips, F. Lablache, Brizzi, Henry Russell, Sinclair, Giubilei, and John Parry, vocalists ; Madame Dulcken, M. Benedict, Messrs. Grattan Cooke, Blagrove, F. Chatterton, T. Harper, and Master Thirlwall, instrumentalists ; besides a new version of the " Ethiopians," nomenclated " the Lantuni Ethiopian Serenaders," who performed between the acts. The theatre was crowded in every part, and during the time we attended the audience appeared inclined to encore every thing that was sung and played. STOKE NEWINGTON LITERARY AND SCIENTI FIC SOCIETY.—A meeting of the members of this socie t y Monday held at the Manor House Rooms, C t id urc ig h evening last. The Rev.

The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at their offices, No. 10, Coleman-street. City, Mr. SitenstoLT, president of the company, in taking the chair, said that there would be no report submitted to the meeting, and that all that would be done would be to lay the accounts before them. The account was then read, by which it appeared that the interest upon bonds and preference shares was 11,4001. 10s., the property-tax was 2071. ls. 4d., salaries 2651. Bs. ; which, with other expenses, amounted to a gross sum of 11,9581. 18s. 4d., leaving a balance of 6,9961. 10s. Id. The CHAIRMAN then said that it would now be his duty to propose that the accounts which had just been read should be printed and circulated amongst the subscribers. Mr. PERRY said he felt pleasure in seconding the resolution they had just heard, but at the same time be thought it right to call the attention of the meeting to one circumstance; before doing so, however, he would say that they would not have many difficulties in winding up their affairs in future. Their directors might, in the opinion of several of the share holders, be fairly and safely reduced to three. The SECRETARY explained that it would be necessary to have five, and he believed that the three directors could not, by any possibility, discharge the affairs of the company sa tisfactorily. Mr. PERRY, as an individual, was perfectly satisfied. There was no person, from the circumstance of his having been an auditor, who had had a better opportunity of knowing how the affairs of the company had been conducted; but he had brought forward the present question upon the sugges tion of some of the sharehqlders. It might be necessary to (tarry out the affairs of this company effectively, that there should be five directors; but then three of the present di rectors might remain in office, and two others be appointed, honorary directors. These directors might be paid a small fee for their occasional services. __ _ Mr. LEvy said their object should be to have a few re spectable gentlemen to manage their affairs. He thought that five was as small a number as they could have to do that properly. Now, considering the small amount those directors demanded for their labour, he thought that such could not be reasonably objected to.—(Hear, hear.) It might be supposed that because the Eastern Counties Railway had leased the line that there was nothing for their directors to do ; but they should recollect that circumstances and difficul ties might arise which would render necessary the active in terference and superintendence of directors.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. PERRY said he should repeat what he had already stated was merely the opinion of others, and not his own, and also that, as an individual, he was perfectly satisfied with the management of the company. Mr. MAUBERT stated that, looking at theirlaccounts, they found that the directors had acted as bankers to the com pany, and that they (the company) could not carry on a concern like theirs at a smaller expense than had hitherto been incurred through the able management of the directors. The resolution was then put from the chair and carried unanimously. Messrs. Wilson and Deputy Corney were then re-elected directors, which was acknowledged by Mr. Corney on his own behalf and that of Mr. Wilson. Mr. PERRY then proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded and carried unanimously, and the meeting separated. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY The usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street; Mr. G. Hudson, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The meeting was made special, for the purpose of agreeing to certain new lines and extensions. - In their report the directors announced a dividend, for the half-year, ending the 4th of January last, of 10s. per share of 141. 16s. each on the consolidated stock of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and jn proportion.on the share capital of the Northern and Eastern Company. The gross receipts from traffic skewed an increase over the correspond ing half of lastyear of 69,9461. 12s. 6d. The past season had been un usually trying to the permanent way and works, notwith their state throughout was very satisfactory. 184-1 miles, 136 of which were now in the com wofilimeshintenance for the past half year, included in hands, and the remaining twelve miles were intained by con rac tincreased length of road main einnita d during the last six months amounted to fifty-nine e ' from Stortford to Brandon, and from Stratford to miles, besides the second line of rails from Broxbourne Blackwell, Hertford. Taking this additional mileage into Junction to would appear that a clear saving of 4,035/. consideration, it won as compared with last year. The d had been effecte d, s Tpa t ilah a n n ey d c: i o n s g to w ls. 7 • under the estimate, and the double line of the cost of 1,5001. Junction Railway would Thames be ready for Stratford andh the course of a few days. The new station at the opening int double line of the Hertford branch had been completed at a t e h e were pre sent of a few days. The stock of engines on the line in the course m of akin tl g ies 4th, 1846, was fifty-eight passenger and thirteen foods Y Received e fi g v in e es go ; ods six e t n y g -t in w e o s, ines. during the last six months, four- Stratford Junction was now completed and might be opened engines. four teen - stock amount to seventy-two passenger and i n working condition, and twenty-eight under repair. The branch from Ely to Peterborough was not opened for general traffic until the 14th of January last, owing to slips two having occurred at pointF, that required the greatest energy and a large additional expenditure upon the part of en g g oo e d r s and ? Mr. Peto, the contractor, to conquer. Notwithstanding this delay, the line had been delivered up for traffic in very com plete working order ten months earlier than Mr. Peto was bound to do by his contract. The construction of the lines w w i a t e h le r t a , p in idi S ty ep . tem u b ie er d las ire t c , t t o o rs Mr c . o P hfi et d o e , ht a ly nd between Cambridge and St. Ives, and St. Ives and Wisbeach proceeding that anticipated was the portion of the latter line between Match and Wisbeach eighteene Pas would be ready for opening on or before the b-t 1 o f May,. and that the remainder of these lines would be complete d in the autumn of the year. A direct communication would then exist with Huntingdon, by means of the Ely and Hun tingdon Railway. The North Woolwich Railway and Pier would be completed for traffic early in the ensuing summer. Since the last half: yearly meeting of the shareholders the company had purchased the Maldon, Witham, and Braintree Railway, a short but valuable line. connecting the rising port of Maldon with the main lines of this company and the central portions of Essex. The works would be let on the 17th of this month for completion in the early pact of 1848. The company was in possession of the greater part of the property required for the enlargement of the Bishopsgate station, and the contract for its construction would be forthwith let. Inconsequence of the increase of traffic, both in passengers and goods, which has lately taken place, the directors had resolved to seek for powers in the ensuing Session of Par liament to obtain four additional lines of railway between the Mile-end and Bishopsgate stations. For the purpose of carrying out several objects, it was intended to make payable the first call of 21. 10s. per share upon the B. quarter of the York Extension shares in two instalments, of which one would be due on the 18th of March, and the other on the 18th of May next. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he felt it was unnecessary to dwell at any length upon the present affairs of the company, because the report supplied every information upon the subject, while the shareholders were well acquainted with the topics connected with their future prospects. He could hold out no hope of a reduction in the working expenses but there was every prospect of their traffic increasing, without adding to their working expenses.
