Contrary to the expectatioa of many, the settlement in the. English Stock market to-day shows a decided Bull ac count, and the speculators fur a fall have been enabled to deliver stock freely. This arises probably from their haying taken duo care to buy in quietly during the last week or two, and thus hold themselves full prepared. The arrangements to bo made to-day with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the taking of the new loan, are also sufficient to make the market feverish, and to stimulate the jobbers to act upon prices, with the view of getting the best possible terms from Government. We should not, therefore, feel at all sur- Priaed to find prices rallying directly the contract is fairly concluded, as the tables will then be turned, and the parties 'who have their tenders accepted will be anxious to buoy up the market. The account is exceedingly heavy, and proves to light matter for some of the speculators, who, however, Mielethe whole, have met their differences better than could be expected. bConsols h ave b een as l ow as 90 1 4 N, after opening at e t /e. % for pr esen t trans f er, an d t h e " con t ango " t o A pr il 15 il increased to 1 / 4 and 5-16ths per cent.

CHARING-CROSS BRIDGE COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors cf this corn pony was this day held at the offices of the company , No. 9, Vllliers-street, Strand, for the purpose of receiving the directors' report of the proceedings of the company, for the half-year ending 31st of January last. The chair was taken at one o'clock by Mr. William Hawes, the deputy chairman of the company. The notice convening the meeting having been read, The Ge.' %lamas said that the present meeting was one of a special character, consisting of nearly all bridge proprietors, and not, as formerly, a rnixel meeting consisting of bridge and market proprietors. Tile absence of the latter, no doubt, arose from the circumstance of legal proceedings having been lately commenced against this company, in order to compel them to fulfil in the manner they thought proper the contract between the two companies. In the commence ment of these legal proceedings the Market Committee were unsuccessful, but in the continuation of those proceedings had been more successful, the Lord Chancellor having post poned his decision in the case for one week. The question in dispute between the two parties had been considerably narrowed by the directors of the Bridge Company under taking to admit, under certainly difficult and complicated arrangements, the steam-boat passengers to land upon the float, and so on to the bridge, without the removal of the line of barges which connect that float to the wharf. It was clear that in doing so the company were exposed to great evasion of the tolls by persons passing along the barge., on to the float up the steps, and so on to the bridge. If any evasion, or loss should arise to the company, it was the intention of the directors to say to the market company, " a loss has arisen in consequence of your practice, and we call upon you to pre vent it." The directors had always offered a friendly adjust ment, but they had said to them, that the proposed six feet division of the bridge would be utterly destructive of their property. If, however, the directors could not come to an arrangement as proposed by the Lord Chancellor, it would be their duty to have the case argued before the Lord Chancellor and show that the public had no right to be admitted, and claiming as a right that, if the passengers were admitted free to the steam-boats, some mode of identification should be in stituted, by which the toll collectors of the bridge should be enabled to know who were really steam-boat passengers, and entitled to pass free. In consequence of the difficulties which had arisen in borrowing money for the completion and finishing the bridge, asum of between three and four thousand pounds being required for that purpose, it was considered neces sary to meet that additional expense by charges upon the receipts of the company. For this reason the directors did not feel justified in proposing a larger dividend than 2 per cent. upon the halt-year ending the 31st of January, which would leave a balance in the hands of the directors of 966!. A portion of this sum would be required for the pay ment of one half-year's interest due to the Exchequer Loan Commissioners on account of money borrowed; the available amount in the hands of the directors would then be reduced to about 4001. With reference to future dividends, he should be wrong if he did not say that when the Richmond,: the South-Western, and the Brighton Railway termini were completed, the traffic on the bridge, and consequently the dividend to the proprietors, would be materially increased. The directors also proposed to pay a dividend of . 4 per cent. per annum upon the mcney advanced for the purpose of making the road direct from the Belvidere road to the proposed station in the York road. It would be necessary to have the shareholders of the company com pletely registered, and every precaution would be taken to ensure a prompt and equitable division of the money to be paid by Mr. Jackson for the purchase of the bridge. He was happy to inform the shareholders that the project for building a new bridge at Charing-cross had been aban doned, and there was every prospect that when the new bridge was built, it would he upon or near to the site of the present Westminster-bridge. The CHAIRMAN then called upon the clerk to read the report of the directors, which was as follows : " Your directors have to report the amount of tolls re ceived in the six months, from the 31st July, 1846, to the 31st January, 1847, to be 3,150/. ils. 3d., and the expenses 1,324/. 2s. lid., leaving a balance of 2,659!., which they re commend to be applied to the payment of a dividend for the past half-year, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the capital stock of the company, and 4 per cent. on the sums paid on the eighth shares, leaving a balance of 996/. Bs. 6d. r t a o t bee carried x fo e s r w i anr the year r c 1 a B r l g 6 e , u a m p o o n u n t t h i n e g c t o o m 7 p6aonils., fur appears most exorbitant, and notice has been given of an appeal against similar charges in futire. " Your directors are p roceedin g in Parliament with the Bill to enable them to convey the bridge to Messrs. Jackson and others. " It is with considerable pleasure your directors refer to the abandonment of the proposed scheme for the removal of Westminster -bridge, and the substitution of another bridge close to the Charing-cross-bridge. The report of the com mittee specially appointed to watch the interests of the com pany in reference thereto will be read by the secretary. "The law proceedings commenced unsuccessfully by the Market Company before the Vice-Chancellor have been re newed by appeal to the Lord Chancellor, who yesterday deferred the action for a week, to afford an opportunity for a friendly adjustment. "The prospect of the early completion of the South- Western Railway station, close to the southern terminus of the bridge, which cannot fail very much to augment the tolls, must be a source of great satisfaction to the proprietors. " Your directors have given the contractor notice, through your engineer, that they require the immediate completion of his contract, and they believe he will proceed therewith so soon as the weather will permit : this will enable your di rectors, by the next meeting, to close the capital account of the company. The following abstract of the half-yearly revenue account, from July 31, 1846, to Jan. 31, 1847, was also read by the Clerk : July 31, 1846.—T0 Balance brought forward...X2,Bl7 11 $ To Amount received for Tolls, &c., from— Aug. 1 to Aug. 31 £62l 10 8 Sept.

The terminus of which were proposed to be on the Surrey side of the river. Mr. ENGusit proposed that terms should be offered to the Market Company, for the purpose of coming to some atrange meut. He proposed that the Market Company should hare the free use of the south and north pier, and that all steam boat passengers should be allowed to go either to Lambeth or to Hungerford-market by paying the toll. The CHAIe:MAN said that the Market Company would not accept those terms, they had been offered and refused. Captain KELLY wished to know whether the company would have the power at the time of a regatta, or upon Sunday afternoon, of compelling the steam-boat passengers to leave the bridge, because if they had not that power the bridge would always be filled with them ? The CHAIRMAN—The company do cot possess any power of qutt nature. A SIIARILNOLDER deprecated the resolution of the com- Pthaantyiftoitgwo as to t l h a e w r w ig i h th t e t f h t e ha Market a C ny om t p o an h y av ; e h fr e e t e h a o c u c g e h as t to the bridge they ought to have it. The CIIAIRMAN—The question of right was the real ques tion in dispute. The only point was were the market com pany to find the means of identifying the passengers, or were the bridge company to incur the responsibility of refusing to allow all persons who might be pleased to say they were steam•boat passengers to go on to the bridge without paying the toll. The report was then agreed t o , as was t a h l also new w resolution eigh ths authorizing the payment of fou r p er cent . per annum on the ec p s t . es of the company, and also upon Thereceipts thanks of the meeting were then given to the chair , man, and the meeting broke up.

In the space of a few minutes Mr. Morgan, two females, and five children, appeared at the first-tloor front, and with the assistance of police-constable Carr, No. 166 K, and a waterman ;named Griffiths, the whole of the parties were taken from the window. The engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England Company, quickly attended, and plenty of water being procured from the mains of the East London works, the engines were called into requisition, and the firemen carried the hose up the stafacase, and by that meana they were enabled to pour a coLtinuous stream upon the flames. Whilst, how ever, they were so engaged, a large mass of flames entered one of the moms in which the firemen were, and Mackay, the head 'engineer of Wellelose-square station, was knocked down by its force, and had it not been for the timely aid the flames were ex tin by other firemen, he doubtlessly would have lost his life. By dint of great perseverance the proprietor of considerable.

How the fire originated began,Ras out in the premises occupied by Mr. G. Wild, a carpenter could not be ascertained. About an hour previous a tire br ake and builder, situate in Wood-street, Spa-road, Bermondsey, andthe flames were not extinguished until a building, thirty feet by thirteen, in which the fire TTnfertunately it was 110 t /115111'0d. 2i5; 1 ,•; 4 4 12% 27 3% CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. By the unfortunate vessel, Brechin Castle, shipwrecked off the Welsh coast, we have recived Cape of Good hope papers of the 2341 December. The news which they contaiu is very satisfactory. The Katirs were laying down their arms more freely, and bringing in the stolen cattle : while the Governor exhibited decided energy in dealing with the affairs of the frontier, so as to justify the impression that there will he henceforth more security for life and property than has ex isted for many years past. The mother of the celebrated chief Sandilla had visited the Governor to solicit pardon for her son ; but it was very porperly remarked to her that his Excellency did not make war upon women, and that the chief must conic himself. Accordingly, Sandilla appeared, and brought with him a number of his most influential fol lower:, cattle and arms. Umhalla, the chief of the Slambie tribes, had made his submission, after having been expressly informed that he was at perfect liberty to do as he pleased, and that the Colonial Governmeht was quite prepared to carry on the contest with him; consequently, the surrender must be unconditional, as the Governor had determined no longer to recognise the authority of chiefs west of the river Kei. The chief admitted himself fairly worsted, and preferred the British rule to the protection of the neighbouring Kafir ruler, Kreli. The following are a few extracts from the papers:— A letter from the frontier, dated 15th December, states— " Affairs are as they were. Mapassa has given up about forty guns and some horses, and would do more, bat his people have tr,en dispensed by the recent attacks made on them, and many have gone amongst those of the so-called friendly chief Umtikaka. Dr. Cotton, pri:,cipal medical officer of the colony, accompanied by Dr:Campbell, 73d Regiment, who arrived a few days ago from Monte Video, may be daily ex pected on the frontier. A gentleman, lately arrived from the north-eastern boundary, represents a portion of Moshesh's territory as being in an unsettled state, in consequence of disagreements between the emigrants and natives. These accounts are not clear or full. But it seems that the same causes are in operation in Moshesh's country, that produced the disorders in Griqualand, and compelled the interference of the Government. Numbers of the emigrants are said to have been unjustly expelled from their habitations, after having been encouraged to expend much time and labour in improvements. The Government will probably be obliged before long to step in between the disputants.' Letters have been received from Colonel Somerset's divi sion to the 20th of December, on which day the march was commenced towards the Kei, to settle matters with Pato and Krell. We understand that "if the general's measures are well carried out, all must end right." Colonel Johnston and Captain Hogg's men are said to be on the march to meet Colonel Somerset at the Kei. Kobus Congo (Pato's brother), sent in a message as if coming from Pato for peace, which was forwarded to the Governor; but before an answer was received, it was discovered that the messengers had come from Kobus, and not from Pato; they were therefore in stantly sent back with a message from the diplomatic agent, Captain Maclean, who will accompany the expedition, that no more messages would be received except such as were sent specially by Pato himself. Letters from head-quarters are to the 21st. They state that the Commander-in• Chief was about to join Colonel Somerset's division. Intelligence has been received that Sandilla has sub mitted, and being enrolled as a British subject, he has brought in with him 100 head of cattle. The Kafir chief Kama, it is stated, will occupy the country that formerly belonged to Tolle. Some Kafir spoors were lately seen going into the colony by Jager Drift, where no party Is now stationed. A span of oxen were lately missed in that neighbourhood, but were all found with the exception of one, the remains of which only were dis covered, and which is supposed to have been slaughtered by the Kafirs. News has been received that Umbels, with several hundred followers, and a like number of cattle, has surrendered himself to Colonel Somerset, and has been registered as a British subject. We understand that the plan of a town at Block Drift has been formed, and that sonic of the streets have already been laid out by the engineers. From this post to the sea it is supposed his Excellency will establish a line of forts communicating with each other, and sup ported by communities of natives established in convenient localities. We learn from Colonel Somerset's camp, Buffalo River, under date of 14th inst., that " a patrol of 80 Cape corps started last night, in command of Captain Napier, but where they have gone to we cannot ascertain. The colonel is also going some time to-day with some Cape corps and Captain Lange's mounted men. I suppose this move is preparatory to a general decampment. Captain Napier has taken 400 head of cattle." A letter from the same place, dated the 16th inst, says— " There has been another patrol out, and they have killed five Kafirs, taken 250 head of cattle, and two prisoners. The latter say Kreli and Rato have had a hard fight; that the former won't let the latter into his country, and has taken many of his cattle, which he intends delivering up to the governor." The news from Cape Town is unimportant. Propositions were before the Legislative Council for building a harbour of refuge, and making a revision in the scale of tonnage dues. No alteration had taken place in the rate of exchange upon London. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday the general quarterly meeting of the governors and subscribers to this hospital was held in the board. room of that institu tion. The'Rev. Mr. Ellis, the rector of St. Clement's, pre sided. The secretary read the report, which stated that the number of in and out patients who had received medical and surgical relief was about the same as during the last few years. The expenditure for the past year exceeded the re ceipts by 6461. 15s. The former being 4,3471. lls. ' the latter 3,701 16s. This deficiency had been made up by the pro ceeds of an entertainment at Willis's Rooms and by the sale of stock. POLAND AND THE REPUBLIC OF CRACOW.—There were, yesterday, issued the following documents, which have just been presented to the House of Commons by her Majesty's command, in pursuance of their address of the Bth inst. :—The General Treaty of Congress, signed at Vienna, June 9, 1815 ; with the three annexes thereto, relating to the Kingdom of Poland, and the Republic of Cracow ; the correspondence between Viscount Castlereagh (late Marquis of Londonderry) and the Emperor Alexander of Russia, re specting the Kingdom of Poland, Vienna, October and No vember, 1818; Conventions between Great Britain and the Netherlands and Russia, of 1814 and 1815, relative to the Russian Dutch Loan, &c. These documents have now been reprinted, in pursuance of the address of the House of Com mons to her Majesty, dated the Sth of February last. THE ROBBERY OF JEWELS AT BRIGHTON.—On Friday evening the residence of Alderman Wilson, No. 3, Eastern-terrace, Brighton, was plundered of nearly 300/. worth of jewels. At twenty minutes before eight o'clock in the morning three men had been on the roof of the house, mending the pipes which had burst in the late thaw, and they lighted a tire in one of the bedrooms for the purpose of melting the lead which it was necessary to use. As soon as Mrs. Wilson heard that labourers were in the house, :he ordered her maid to go into her bedroom and remain there while the workmen remained at their task. Once in the course of the morning one of the men entered the room, and asked for a candle, and the maid desired him to go down stairs for one. She remained on the spot till one o'clock, when the men left the house, stating that they should not re turn, and that they were going to do a similar job at No. 6, the Duke of St. Albans. At half-past seven o'clock every thing appeared to be safe, but at twenty minutes to eight the lady 's -maid, upon ascending the staircase, heard the door of the wardrobe creak, and soon discovered that the shelf on which the jewel boxes stood was quite empty. When the family were informed of what had taken place, the Alderman di rected the servants to watch the backs and fronts of the ad joining houses, to prevent the escape of the thieves, and ran up stairs upon hearing a cry that the robbers were above. He found that two of the windows, one of which had been just heard shut down, were unfastened, and while he was descending the staircase out walked two well-dressed men, from the empty house, No. 2, next door to his residence, one of whom had a case under his arm, and both of whom were allowed to pass without hindrance or question by the stupid crowd who gathered together to render assistance. Tiles. , persons, who no doubt were the thieves, pulled the door after them with the greatest confidence, and talked to each other in a loud tone as they passed along. The Brighton police have been actively engaged in endeavouring to trace the thieves, and Daniel • Forrester was sent for by Alderman Wil son, who has offered a reward of 50/. for the requisite infor matior.. FIRE oN THE RIVER.—On Tuesday night a fire broke out on board a large vessel, moored off the Coal whippers' Register. office, King James's-stairs, Lower Shad well, in which the working tools used in the delivery of the coal ships are deposited. Thera was some combustible matter in the vessel. An alarm was raised, and a great number of coal-whippors and others went on board and ex tinguished the flames, but not before considerable damage was done. HEALTH OF TOWNS AssoctAnoN.—Yesterday the annual meeting of this Association was held in the rooms cif the Statistical Society, 12, St. James's-square, for the pur pose of receiving the general and financial report of the com mittee, and on other business.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—miss Rainforth makes her first appearance in Mr. Wallace's new Opera of Matilda to-night, and we have no doubt that her great popularity will cast an additional charm over this delightful opera. WOOLWICIL—EXPERIMENTS IN THE MARSHES.-- Colonel Rudyerd, director of the Royal M ilitar y Repository; Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K.H., director of the Labo ratory Department; and Major Pester, fire - m aster in the Laboratory, assembled in the Woolwich marshes on Monday afternoon, to witness experiments with concussion fuzes, the invention of Mr. Tyre, of the proof depa rtment in the Royal Arsenal. There were four shells fired from 32-pounder guns, and three shells from an 8-inch gun. Three of the shells from the 32-pounder guns burst on s t r iking, and o f abne did not burs rd t. The first shell fired from the 8-inch gun bursout 40 yas from the mouth of the gun ; the second fell short, and on touching the ground ricocheted to the top of •the mound, and buried itself in the earth, without bursting; the third grazed the ground before reaching its destination, and ricocheted, striking the top of the target, and burst at the same time. Experiments were also carried on with concussion fuzes on Friday and Saturday last, invented by Mr. Tyre and Mr. Blanch, and others are about to ta ke p la ce , as it is desirable to have a concussion fuze that can be depended u po n, the great object being to insure that none of the shells should burst during their flight, or short of the object against which they are directed.

A concert, under the patronage of the Commander-in- Chief and other distinguished officers and their wives, is about to take place, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the fund for relieving Irish distress. A series of balls, also under the patronage of the naval, military, and civil authorities, are about to be got up for the same praiseworthy and benevolent end. CORONER'S INQUEST. FATAL PRESCRIPTION. Yesterday forenoon, at nine o'clock, Mr. Wakley and the jury impanelled to investigate the death of Miss Sarah E. Coliver, aged twenty-two, the young lady alleged to have died from the effects of an unauthorised medicine prescribed for her by Dr. Cronin, re-assembled at the Wheatsheaf, High street, Camden-town, further to prosecute their inquiry. D r . Cronin was in attendance, accompanied by Mr. 1 ennant, as his professional adviser. Dr. Scoffern, who had been appointed to make a more minute analysis of the mixture taken by the deceased, and also the bitter almond water used in its composition, was first called, and made a minute technical report of the results of his analysis, concluding with a declaration that if the medi cine had contained strychnia powder, as prescribed, it would have been still more poisonous. The CORONER-Will you state the result of your analysis in plain terms to the jury? Dr. Scoffern—There were sixty minims, or rather more than one drachm, of Pharmacopoeia prussic acid, in one ounce of the mixture taken by deceased. CORONER—How much would be a dose for an adult? Dr. Scotfern—We are ordered by the Pharmacopoeia not to give more than fifteen minims, which is a very large dose. It would be a difficult thing to say how much is a dose of com pound strychnia powder. There is no compound powder of strychnia mentioned in the British Pharmacopoeia. Mr. 'Weathers said he was present at the analysis, and agreed with Dr. Seoffern in every particular. Dr. Venables agreed generally with the statement of Dr. Sooffern. By the Cottoxxrt.—l hold in my hand Dr. Cronin's prescrip tion. I have never prescribed bitter almond water myself, either externally or internally, but I have prussic acid. I have never seen it written in any prescription except this ; I never knew compound strychnia powder to be used except by Dr. Cronin. - By Mr. Tennant—l hare purchased some bitter almond water at Mr. French's, the chemist, in Holborn, since the last adjournment. It appears to be the same as that prescribed by Dr. Cronin, and was labelled precisely as written in Dr. Cronin's prescription, " aqua amygdalce amarcc." It is quite a harmless mixture ; a person might take two or three ounces of it without any ill effects. Dr. Cronin—That is exactly the point ; I deny that the mixture taken by, the young lady, which caused her death, was the prescription I ordered. Mr. Bell, the chemist, in all the main points agreed with Dr. Scoffern as to the analysis. After some further evidence, the Coroner asked Doctor Cronin if he was desirous of making any statement to the jury? Dr. Cronin said he had the highest authorities for using the bitter almond water in his prescription ; and in support of his statement, read extracts from Dr. Christian's work on poisons, Dr. Thompson's "New Edinburgh Phar macopoeia," Professor Brande, and the London Pharmaceu tical Journal. He declared, if physicians were to be bound by the "British Pharmacopoeia, and nothing else, no im provement could ever take place in the science of medicine. The ConoNun then, at very great length, proceeded to sum up the evidence, and told the jury, that if they believed the deceased had died from the effects of the medicine, and that it had been prescribed without due and proper care, it would be their duty to rind a verdict of manslaughter against Dr. Cronin. The jury found a verdict of-111auslaughter against Dennis Cronin. The Coroner then made out his warrant of committal, and Dr. Croiin was conveyed to Newaatr, in a cab. RAILWAY SI-1 ARE: MARKETS.
