Such is the title, and I can't help paying A due respect to ouch a truthful saying ; For certainly in every day's excursion, A thousand proofs establish this assertion. The sentiment which such a phrase discloses, Is singularly suitable to MOSES. MOSES and SON have certainly display'd The "finest feathers" ever known in trade, "Feathers of faultless fashion," such as these (Neat, smart, and stylish) cannot fail to please. They decorate whoever may be wearing, And add a grace where nature's rather sparing. The dress of MOSES hides defects, if any, And where the charms are few, it makes them Many. And many a person is pronounced a beauty, Merely because these tailors do their duty. Then imitate the birds in autumn weather, And prudently assume a change of feather. MOSES and SOS solicit your inspection Of autumn articles in rare perfection, Which stand unrivalled, and which prove the words Wihch here I quote—" Fine leathers snake flue birds. LIST OF PRICES.

A E. m - One half the world are desolately single, and tie other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right deterrn4te the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret Un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour end justice demand that health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bligkted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Those who took a part in these meetings agreed that many of the rail ways in which they and others had embarked their capital were utterly unnecessary—that, in fact, they were not called for by the wants of the country —(Hear, hear)—th a t, i n s h ort, they were ra i lways merely formed by men for their immediate gain, for the purpose of being carried out by madmen.

In such a state of things he felt bound to urge upon th e c h a i rman th e i m p o li c y o f proceeding, sayi ng , t h e company might punish him to the extent of the property he possessed, and com pel him to go into the Gazette, and to forfeit his shares ; proceeding could lead to no other result, but the chairman was proof against the voice of reason. He then turned to the shareholders, who held a greater risk than he did, some of them having paid up 81. or 10/., and warned them, if they did not prevent the directors from going on with the scheme, that they would have to pass through the same ordeal—the Gazette ! they could not fail to be ruined step by step. Both they and the chairman saw the force of his *dyke.- The chairman said calls were as 'necessary for rail ways as bricks for the building of the house, and that therefore they must be paid. On inquiry he found that the scbeme was one the proprietors of which should lose no time in availing themselves of Earl Dalhousie's Act and at once abolishing it; and if those present to-day wished to get rid of the liabilities which they had without due consideration imposed upon themselves, they must adopt a similar course ; but if they remained' passive they would continue to be preyed upon by the long train of needy persons— attorneys, engineers, directors —connected with the majority of the lines (Hear, hear.) He concluded by suggesting that some gentleman should propose a resolution in conformity with the object of the meeting. A Mr. HENDERSON, a barrister, considered that a committee should be appointed. Mr. IsAAcs said those railways which had got their money did not move a step, and laughed at the shareholders. He suggested the adoption of a peti tion, calling upon the Legislature to pass ap Act to compel the winding up of all projects which had not obtained their Acts, and the return of what remained of the deposits to the shareholders. Earl Dalhousie's Act operated most unjustly upon shareholders ; it was the "stupidest thing he ever saw." For instance, the directors of Remington' s Di rec t Manchester held 140,0001. of the money of the share holders, and refused to give an account.—(Hear, hear.) If the case of shareholders so treated was laid before Parliament, a remedy would be provided. After a long pause, The CHAIRMAN said as no one appeared disposed to move in the matter, -he thought it would be advisable for him at once to declare the meeting at an end. Mr. HENDERSON—Do you know who called the meeting ? The CHAIRMAN—No, Ido not; I know no more about it than the man in the moon.--(Laughter.) Mr. HENDERSON—It iS too bad to call gentlemen here in this way; it is a hoax—it is all moonshine.— (Laughter.) The persons who have played such a hoax upon us ought to be punished. The CHAIRMAN—I think it has been called by some railway secretaries. Mr. HENDERSON said, men of business were pre sent, and by their aid this embryo hoax might start into a practical fact. A GENTLEMAN thought_ that they should adjourn at once, and endeavour on a future occasion to obtain a better audience—for instance, a meeting of the shareholders of the different companies, as a general measure, might prove inoperative, for it would be impossible to wind up some some schemes. The movement was a good one. The CHAIRMAN said the Legislature would no doubt, if proper representations were mode, pass a measure to release the money tied up in abortive pro jects, which he was informed amounted to 20,000,000/. That those schemes could prove profitable was utterly impossible. He had been told by opulent bankers and others, that they had subscribed their names for hundreds of thousands of pounds almost without know ing what they were doing, and, at the same time, that they would have sought the advice of a solicitor be fore becoming responsible for 10/. or 151. in other speculations. When qui tam actions were brought by blackguard attornies against Lord George Ben tinck and his friends an indemnity Act was passed, and he was at a loss to know why railway share holders should not be placed in a similar position. A GENTLEMA N sa id ra i lway companies cou ld only proceed for the fi rs t i nsta l ment. The CHAIRMAN suggested that some one s h ould move the adopti on o f a petition, to lie in some public place for signatu re , th e expense of which be would pay. A motion to that effect was agreed to, and Mr. HENDERSON moved, and Mr. FOWELL seconded, the appointment of a committee to forward the object of the meeting, to consist of shareholders and the chairman, which was agreed to. The former gentle man,to withdraw his name, w hi c h we su ppose was however, amidst m uc h b o i sterous m i r th, wish e d ac ceded to. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and this extraordinary meeting proceeded out of the tavern. THANKSGIVING for the HARVEST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stit,—A day of thanksgiving to Almighty God for a most bountiful harvest being appointed for Sunday, the 17th inst., when collections in all churches and chapels are to be raised throughout the nation for the relief of Ireland, why should the people of poor old England be so much forgotten or overlooked ? Famine prices and famine reports caused want and distress amongst millions for many months throughout this country; the privations of the working people and the poor were severe, and borne with exemplary patience. Now that the all-bountiful God hath blessed the land with a most abundant harvest, and added plen teousness of food from the distant parts of the earth, surely with a day of thanksgiving there should be a day of festivity and rejoicing, in which the working people and the poor might participate. Such has been the case on former occasions, why not again ? Let the people have one general day—a holiday, a jubilee. There was a: time for a fast, now for a feast, when the poorest of the poor may not be for gotten. Let a few well-disposed persons in all citi es , t owns , and parishes, immediat e l y assemble, and raise sub scriptions to entertain the community. The writer of this address proposed the jubilee Oct. 25, 1809, and prepared and conducted a dinner in the Royal Riding School, Brighton, for 2,000 men, women, and children, on the following scale 2,000 lb. of meat at 6d. ...

THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. (Before Mr. T. Y. MTHRISTIE). The Court proceeded yesterday with the lists of the various parishes in the Wards of Cheap, Cordwainer, and Dowgate, but none of the cases brought forward presented any feature of sufficient importance to call for any special report. MARYLEBONE. (Before Mr. F. BAILEY.) Yesterday Mr. F. Bailey, the barrister, appointed to revise the list of voters for the borough of Mary. lebone, held his first court at the court-house, Marylebone- lane. Mr. Greenwood appeared for the Conservatives but no:agent attended on behalf of the Liberal party. The overseers for the various districts in Maryle bone and Paddington gave in their lists. The number of new claimants were :—in All Souls, 5 ; Trinity, 5; Rectory, 2 ; St. Mary's, 3 ; Christchurch, 24 ; in all 39. The number of voters objected to were :—in All Souls, 31 ; Trinity, 25 ; Rectory, 19 ; St. Mary's, 35; Christchurch, 64; in all 174. All the objections were made by the Conservatives. An objection was taken to the name of Mr. H. J. Barrett, 71, Upper Berkeley-street, remaining on the roll, on the ground that he was not occupant as either owner or tenant of the premises specified. A lease existed IN hich bore the names of Mr. Barrett's two partners in business ; but as his name did not appear there, it was contended that he had no interest in the premises. Mr. Barrett stated that he was in partnership with I Messrs. T. and J. Barrett; that the lease had been purchasekky auctipil in the name nt .those gtattc: men, but that he w as the actual occupant of the . premises ; the omisssion of his name from the lease was entirely accidental. His partners went back wards and forwards on the premises, but he lived constantly there. Mr. BAILEY decided that Mr. Barrett was tenant under the co-partnership. Hi s name was accordingly retained on the roll. An objection had been taken to a voter whose name stood on the roll as " Weller," whereas it ought to have been Mellar ; but it was withdrawn, and the error erdered to be corrected. Mr. Mellar applied for costs, seeing his attendance there had caused the loss of his afternoon's employ ment. Mr. BAILEY said, the error was an unintentional one, and he did not think it was a case for costs. Mr. George Overton claimed to be enrolled as tenant of a house, 81, Great Earl-street, Lisson grove. _ _ It was objected that the claimant had not paid his rates. The claimant said, the rates had been paid by the landlord, and he understood that, in such a case, he was entitled to be enrolled. Mr. BAILET decided that the claimant must, ac cording to the Act, be rated himself, and disallowed the claim. The lists were then gone through, and the resul of the revision was as follows : Claims allowed ... ... ... 5 disallowed ... ~, ••• 3 Objections sustained ... ... ... 169 —. disallowed ... ••. ••• 5 This day the Revising Barrister holds his court in the Vestry-room, Gordon-street, for the revision of the lists of St. Pancras; and to-morrow at the Court. house, Marylebone, for the parish of Paddington. COMMERCIAL NEWS. Le Marielen, of the 4th of August, furnishes the annexed intelligence on general commercial matters : "Exchange on England has not varied; the large supplies of specie which have continued to arrive, principally from India, and the little business doing in shipping for the present, will keep the rates with out alteration ; 3 to 4 per cent. discount is the rate for six months' bills. Local discounts are effected at from 10 to 12 per cent. Treasury bills have ruled at 2 to 21 per cent. premium. " Sugar—Nothing worth notice has been doing in purchases. None of the new crop has come to market, but a few hundred bags have arrived for shipment. The last crop may now be said to have been brought to a close, although some trifling ship ments may remain. The total of the quantity shipped to the end of July is 132,906,8161 b., against 102,168,1681 b. last year. Of this quantity of 132,906,8161 b., 124,582,4891 b. were destined for the United Kingdom • 4,131,3531 b. for th e C ape o f G ood Hope ; 3,856,880 1 b. for the Australian colonies ; and the chief portion of the remainder for Zanzibar. " Rice—This article in consequence of short arrivals has advanced to 4 dolls. 50c., with a prospect of going still higher. " Provisions in general are becoming scarce, and good prices have been obtained. In piece goods little is doing. " Freights—The Eleanor is loading for London, and takes freight at Si. As there* will in another month be a demand for tonnage, it is possible that it will become scarce and high rates be obtained. "Prospects of present Crop—The very favourable weather during the last month will tend to increase the quantity of the present crop, and competent judges in the different quarters assert that it will surpass that which has preceded it. Some parties estimate it as high as 1 46,000,0001 b., which, less about 6,000,0001 b. for local consumption, would leave 140,000,0001 b. for shipment." • SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT ANDOVER.—Mr. W. Earle, the second son of Henry Earle, Esq., of this town, sus • tained a very serious accident on Tuesday, the sth inst., whilst in the fields for the purpose of shooting game. Having loaded his double-barrelled gun with a cart ridge, upon presenting and firing at a hare, the gun burst and mo s t severe l y i n j ured his left hand ; fortu nately being near his home, medical assistance was promptly obtained, and we regret to state that ampu tation of the -left thumb was found necessary. It is hoped he is in a fair way of recovery. Mr. George W. Lecke accompanied the young gentleman, and at about twenty yards' distance heard the whizzing noise of the fragments, which passed very near him, but fortunately without his sustaining any injury. PENDING DIVORCE OF PRINCE ALBERT OF PRUSSIA. —BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 16.—The President of the Royal Court has been charged with instructions to demand the divorce of Prince Albert Henry Frederick of Prussia, brother of King Frederick William IV., from his wife the Princess Wilh e l m i na Frederika Louis Charlotte Marianne, sister of the King of Holland. These high personages have lived asunder for the last five years, and have always most carefully avoided being simultaneously in the same city. ADVERTISEMENT DUTr ON PARAGRAPHS.—A de putation from the Provincial Newspaper Society, com prising Mr. James Swinnerton, the Mayor of Maccles field, Mr. Gedge, of the Bury Post, and others, has waited on the secretary of the Board of Stamps and Taxes, and had a satisfactory interview with him in reference to the recent order of the Stamps and Taxes for charging every paragraph relating to medicine with duty. Mr. Keogh stated that the order in question was not only intended to apply to paragraphs of quack medi cines, but also to include "other matters,"suchasdentists' preparations, &c. It would not, however, apply to any thing which could be supposed to be really volunteered by the editor; such as notices referring to advertisements of concerts, sermons, or meetings for charitable objects, reviews of books, or notices of inventions of public utility, which appeared to be the genuine expression of the editor. But if the officer whose business it was to tax the advertisements observed the same paragraph in different papers, he would conclude it to be supplied by the advertiser, and charge it with duty. The like could not be drawn between such paragraphs as were paid for and such as were not, as it was well known that some journals were sufficiently independent to require payment for the same paragraphs which others would insert gra tuitously, and the Stamp-office could not distinguish between papers charging and papers not charging. Any announcement made by a private party to promote pri vate interests was chargeable as an advertisement, whether paid for or not.—Bolton Free Press. STATISTICS OF CLERKS.—It is estimated, on a fair calculation, that there are no less than 200,000 clerks in this country alone. Out of 47,218 persons employed on 74 railways in actual operation no less than 3,756 come under this definition. On a fair computation it is believed that there are 100,000 Assistant Drapers : the aggregate earnings of all must, therefore, amount to up wards of 250,0001. a year—a small sum for the services of so important and numerous a body.—Civil and Mer cantile Journal. ALARMING FIRE AT GLAIIGOW.-011 Saturday morning, about half-past two o'clock, a fire was dis covered in a wood yard in Holme-street, occupied by Mr. John Toshack, cabinet maker and upholsterer, and Messrs. William M'Farline and Co., joiners. The alarm was given immediately after the discovery of the fire, but so rapid was the spread of the flames, that in little more than a quarter of au hour after it was ob served, the roofs of the wright's shops had fallen in, and the entire stock of wood in the yard was one mass of livid flame. In about an hour the premises presented but the blackened ashes and burning embers of their materials. We are sorry to learn that not an article has been saved in either of the establishments, and that the whole of the workmen's tools have also been destroyed. It is not even conjectured how the fire originated. We understand, as far as we can learn, that the amount of property destroyed will be somewhere about 1,0001., and we regret to learn that the whole is but very inade quately insured.—North British Mail. Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial office, from the Governor of the Mauritius. _ . . -- - • ..... _ ... . .._ . . ...___- . ~ . . . iy- (- ; • a____,.... • 4_,//:,- .6z/7;v .. 7 ,,,,-'e . ..._. . ..._,,_ . .. ...._ .. • iiiiii k : • .: , k , ~. • i , • ~,,_ ,__, . ~.,,, 6 s. ,„,,„ .-,-•<, ......_ , .

TIMES.--The fluctuations in the Stock Market have continued to-day with undiminished violence, and the difference between the price for money and for the account on the 14th instant has occasionally been greater than that of yesterday, it having amounted at one period to 14 per cent. Consols for money opened at 84 to and declined to 83g. An intimation that the Bank had in some cases allowed the repayment of one.half of the loans due on Exche quer-bills to stand over till the 13th instant then caused a reaction to 84k. This was not maintained, and they again went down until they touched 83i, and the closing price was 83:1 to 844. For the account the first price was 844 to 8 ; they then declined to 84k, advanced to 85, and closed at 84i to i; while for the account on the 25th of November the quota tion was 851 to After business hours the quotation for this account went to 84 1 ,- 85. Bank Stock left off 190 to 193 • and India Stock, 222 to 228. The market for Exchequer -bills presented in an increased degree the same extraordinary features as were noticed yesterday. The first quotation was 30s. to 20s. dis., and after some large sales had been effected at 305., they left off without improvement. The pressure for discounts at the Bank throughout the day was again extremely heavy. There was a general indisposition on 'Change to day to deal in foreign bills, and, as on the two pre ceding post days, a large amount remained unsold. In many instances, material advances in the rates were submitted to with the view of disposing of paper. As a necessary consequence of the state of the ex changes above mentioned, it appears that an arrival of gold from Paris took place at the Bank this after noon, to the amount of about 60,0001. or 70,0001. Happily to-day we are without any failures to re cord, and it appears also that the report of the favour able way in which the bills which fell due yesterday were met has been very generally confirmed. DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF A. STEAM-BOILER AT LEEDS. LEEDS, ONDAY.—A most terrific boiler explosion, by which two persons have been killed and three others seriously injured, occurred about one o'clock to day, at a foundry called the Round Foundry, in Water-lane, Leeds. The foundry in question is oc cupied by Messers. Beacock and Tannett, machine makers, who hire only been in possession a few months. The boiler house, a low brick building, contained two waggon-shaped b!.ilers, pkced side by side. One of them exploded, earr3 ing away the roof of the build ing, and also destroying the roof of another building; a few yards distnnt, from the boiler house. The upper part of the boiler was torn from the bottom portion, and projected a distance of between 20 and 30 yards. From the size and strength of the boiler the explo sive force must have been terrific. Not only have the plates been torn off by the rivets, but, in some instances, the plates thetmelves have been rent com pletely through. One of tl:e persons who was killed is the engine man, named Newton. The other is a girl, named Harris, who was going up an entry adjoining the boiler house when the uxplusion occurred. The three persons who have been injured, and whose injuries have not yet proved fatal, were taken to the Leeds General Infirmary, where they are now lying in a very precarious state. The cause of the melancholy occurrence is not known, and the engine -man being killed will render it impossible to obtain evidence as to the state of the boiler immediately before the ex plosion. DEATH OF A WIFE THROUGH THE VIOLENCE OF HER HUSBAND. Last night, at the William the Fourth, Beauchamp street, Leather-lane, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an in quest on the body of Matilda Clifton, aged 38, who resided at 6, Beauchamp street, who died on Sunday morning last from the effects of a kick on the lower part of the abdomen, received by deceased from her husband. The evidence of the deceased's landlady, Margaret Goodwin, and Mr. Col.:lough, the surgeon who first attended, were now taken in full by the Coroner; but as they appeared in the police report of the case yesterday, we proceed at once to the evidence of the daughter. Elizabeth Clifton, aged 12, stated that she was in bed in the front attic on Sunday morning last, about half-past twelve, when her lather and mother came in and sat down to supper. Both were intoxicated, the latter more particularly. Deceased made use of the most gross and abusive epithets to witness's father, who acted with much forbearance; but after submit ting to much abuse and violence, he was unable to control his passion, followed his wife out on to the landing-place, and in the sight of the witness kicked deceased in the abdome n , w h o cr i e d out as if in pain He expressed remorse for his act, and the daughter positively de c l are d th a t d ecease d, after receiving th e kick, instantly returned to the chamber, and sat do wn supported by her husband. h Pollock, ad m a d s e u a r g p e o o s n t , nzoofr H atters-garden, seenng examination r a n rd al e l n y hestated found n th o a jN t ir he dis coveredtrace a of sm in a j l a l rlyac:ltteerdn.Bwl extern ally, wound—several veral veins were ruptured, but no artery of an size. The CORONER here recal led the daughter, and questioned her closely as to the l engt h of time that her mother had remained on the landing-place, and the witness persTisted in d escr ibi ng it as under a minute. Mr. IN akley ob serve d that he found it i m possible to reconcile her statement with that of the surgeon, and suggested t o M r. Pollock whether it were not possible that th ere m i g h t b e some more seriousinjury of the parts as yet undiscovered, and the consequent p ropr i ety of adjourning the inquiry until another examination should be made, but Mr. Pollock e x p resse d himself confident in his diagnosis. The Coroner here ordered the room to he cleared, and, after some consultation, the 'daughter was again re called, and, in re-stating her evidence, altered the time to five minutes, and the jury, taking the dis parity in her statements into consideration, and the excitement natural on such a dreadful scene having been transacted before her eyes, declared themselves satisfied with the surgeon's evidence. The CORONER replied that if that were the case the rest of the evidence was clear beyond a doubt, and he considered it unnecessary tor him to recapitulate it. It was conclusive from the evidence before them that the death of the deceased was caused by an act of un lawful violence on the part of her husband, and they must record a verdict of manslaughter against him. Verdict accordingly. The two parties, Edward and Robert Bristow, who had been remanded on suspicion of having made amost k m ee u p r e t r ie s ro t u o s m a r s . sa l ul r t og u ie p , o ., u at tbe vy e b s e t a ff d or a s hd as sistant iey,ii Surrey, have been examined at Guildford gaol, befor e the Earl of Lovelace (chairman) and several other ma gistrates. Edward Bristow brought forward sufficient evidence to prove that be was not in t he preserves w h en the attack was made. The bench d ischarged the pri soner Edward. The bench said that nothing had been proved on the part of the other prisoner to alter the previous opinion of the magistrates, and he was again locked up. NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY. An extraordinary general meeting of the share. holders of this Company was yesterday held at the offices of the Company, 19, Moorgate-street , for the amber o f also the purpose of determining as to reducing the r the directors, and the order of their rotatiem, rate of remuneration to them for their s trvices for the purpose of giving effect to Vae resolution 'and passed at the ordinary general meetir,g of the Corn pany, on the 25th of August last, to, the effect that the business of the Company should be carried on in London, and that the secretary should reside there. The chair was taken at one o'clock by the Earl of Newry. The meeting having been formally constituted, was adjourned to the Guildhall Coffee-house, in conse quence of the rooms of the office not being large enough to contain the number of shareholders who were present or expected to attend. The CHAIRMAN said that the meeting was called in compliance with resolutions passed at the last meet ing to the above effect. The main object of the meeting was to reduce the number of directors from thirteen to ten, and he hoped that any remarks which gentlemen present had to make would be confined to the subjects contained in the advertisement. Mr. SPACEMAN wished to know whether any com munication had been made with the Newry Board of Directors as to the names of those gentlemen who should retire. The CHAIRMAN said that he was not prepared to answer the question put to him, as to the names of those directors who were proposed to retire. The question which the meeting had to deal with was, that of reducing the number of directors. Several of the shareholders thought that the less there was of concealment in the matter, the more satisfactory it would be t o th e great body of the shareholders. A SHAREHOLDER wished to knew with whom the power rested of reducing the number of directors, and appointing those who should remain. The CHAIRMAN said that the opinion of counsel had been taken upon the subject, which was to the effect that the-shareholders had the power of reducing or increasing the number of directors, and appointing those who should remain or retire. A SHAREHOLDER said that he thought that that statement was satisfactory, and if a list of the directors were submitted to the meeting, they would know how to deal with the question. Mr. SPACEMAN said that he had heard that the Newry directors wished to attach some conditions to their retiring from office, which would entail con siderable expense upon the company. He considered that these directors had no power whatever to dictate any terms such as those, and he would at once move that the number of directors be reduced from thirteen to eight, and that this reduction be effected by the abolition of the entire number of the directors composing the Newry board, with the exception of one of those gentlemen. With respect to the present state of the money market, it was in a most distressing condition, and he thought that it behoved the directors of this company to con sider well the propriety of suspending the works and calls of this railway, so far at least as it was consistent with the nature of the contracts already entered into by the company, and it was because the Newry directors had expressed their opinion of forcing and hurrying on the works at the expense of the English shareholders, that he felt it necessary to move the entire abolition of the Newry board. The resolution having been seconded, The CHAIRMAN said that, in putting the resolution to the meeting, he could not help stating it as his opinion that beneficial results would follow from the government of the company being carried on entirely by one board of management. At the same time he felt it necessary to express the high opinion which he entertained of one at least of the directors who com posed the Newry board. The resolution was then put, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. SPACEMAN then proposed a resolution, regu lating the mode in which the rotation of the reduced number of directors should be conducted. • Mr. CHANCE seconded the resolution, which was also unanimously agreed to. A resolution, authorising three of the directors to be a quorum, that the business of the company be transacted at the offices of the company in London, that the secretary be permanently resident there, and receive an annual salary not exceeding the sum of 3001 was moved. Some discussion ensued upon this resolution with respect to the conduct of the solicitor of the com pany in making application to the shareholders for the payment of the arrears of calls, several of the shareholders characterising the letters as extremely harsh. Mr. Lxrcit explained that the course taken by him had been in strict accordance with a resolution of the board of directors. The resolutions were then agreed to. A SHAREHOLDER then proposed a resolution to the effect of suspending all further works and calls in this company for the ensuing six months. The CHAIRMAN declined to put the resolution, the subject not coming within the province of the meet ing. At the same time he would state, for the satis faction of the shareholders, that it was the opi n i on o f the directors that it would not be advisable to make any further calls during the present year. Mr. SPACKMAN thought that there would be no necessity for carrying out such a resolution. The directors were already aware, by the course which had been taken, of the opinion of the great body of the shareholders. The thanks of the meeting were voted to the Noble Chairman for his efficient conduct in the chair, and the meeting broke up. RAILWAY CALLS. EX PRAORDINARY MEETING. A meeting was:ealled for one o'clock yesterday, at the Aondon Tavern, to consider the propriety of peti lolling Parliament to extend the time granted for :he completion of such railways as were passed during the sessions 1846 and 1847, and other business. wi A th t tthhee e a x p o poi ep n t i t o e hour n d of the h r e u p t r t t No or e v rsp r t e h s r e e n e t e d persons, them selves, and the number had not increased to more than between fifteen and twenty by half-past one, at which time those present began to manifest considerable impatience at the non-appearance of the parties who had requested their attendance, some asserting that the thing . was a hoax, or that the summoners of the meeting had become discon certed at the meagre audience and had " bolted ,, supposition a which was strengthened by the fact that every now and then persons appa rently deeply interested looked in and withdrew. At length the proprietor of the tavern was appealed to, and his reply was, that the room had been paid for, adding, that he was ignorant of the parties who had called the meeting, and that none of them were on the premises. At this juncture a person named GxEENE rose in the centre of the meeting, and demanded to know if there was any gentleman present who had taken a part in convening the meeting. A death like silence ensued. No one ventured to reply, and the gentleman proceeded to observe that the purpose for which the meeting was called was an important one, and to express his regret at the paucity of the attendance. He thought that those who had gathered together ought not to separate without expressing their opinions of the way in which a large body of persons would be affected if they were imperatively called upon to pay their calls in the present deplorable state of the money market.—(Here there was a faint cheer.) In his opinion they could do very well without a chairman. The value of the meeting depended upon the publicity which the sentiments enunciated at it might obtain through the columns of the newspapers, and the newspapers had their representatives i n th e assem bl y. —(Again this stirring appeal met with no re sponse.) The speaker proceeded to say that he felt so much interest, as a large shareholder, liable to be sued at any time, in the object which the absent promoters of the meeting had in view, that he would go any length, whether in lespect of pecuniary aid or bodily labour, to promote it. Not a soul opened his mouth ; stillness reigned pre-eminent. At length one or two prevailed upon Mr. Greene to take the chair, and he accordingly seated himself without support either on the right end or on the left. Mr. GREENE then went on to say that he was most desirous to take any step which would remove him and others from the unjust position in which he and they were placed, by the numerous cells about to be made upon them. He had unfortunately been connected with a large number of railways, and in some of them he had been foolish enough to register his name as a shareholder—(Hear, hear)—and in every one of them he had found engineers, needy directors, and also a gentleman in black—commonly called a lawyer—. (Laughter) —and when shareholders appealed to the last-named person for mercy, he replied that the attribute did not rest with him, as he merely acted for the directors, who were the guardians of the interests of a large body of persons; adding that if they could not pay in pocket they inust do so in person.—(Hear.) He thought, there fore, at Nell AJUnettire it WAS incumbent upon those C AUTION.—To those Parties in the habit of Purchasing Game from Unlicensed Persons. At a numerous Meeting of the Metropolitan Licensed Retail Game Dealers, it was unanimously resolved—" That all Parties purchasing' Game from Unlicensed Dealers In the Street, will be prosecuted in accordance with the Act of Win. IV., cap. 32." By order of the Committee, SAMUEL BARNES, Secretary. N.B. None but Shopkeepers are allowed by Act of Parliament to sell (lame.
