The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the offices, 449, West Strand; Lird Conrtown, in the chair. The SECRETALIT then read the following report : "The directors, on the first occasion of meeting the pro prietors after their re-election, avail themselves of the oppor tunity afforded them to express their sincere thanks for this gratifying mark of renewed confidence. " The report of the directors, which the proprietors adopted at the late general meeting, so fully indicated the course which they deem the most expedient to pursue, in furtherance of the important trust confided to them, as to render unnecessary any detailed statement from them on the present occasion. "'they have not subsequently seen any reason to depart from the general line of policy therein proposed to be followed, but as the long adjournment of the first meeting from the 21st of December to the 17th of February has necessarily delayed, to some extent, the progress of the company's operations, the directors, governed by the intention expressed in their first report of making no call upon the share holders beyond the amount which the exigencies of the company at any time actually require, have considered that they tray, without danger or embarrassment of the in terests of the undertaking, reduce the proposed amount of the first call from 303. to lOs. per share. They have ac cordingly made a call of lOs. per share, payable on or before the 10th day of April next. "The preliminaries tor setting out the line have been com menced both between Enniscorthy and Wexford, and hinge,- toss n and Wicklow; and in the latter case have been so far advanced that the works may be proceeded with as soon as the directors deem it expedient to contract for them. They have been much gratified by the zealous co-operation and assistance which their officers have received from the noble men, gentlemen, and others, interested in the land through which the railway will pass, in these portions of the line. " The Amendment Act, the application for which to Parlia ment the proprietors sanctioned at the late general meeting, has passed standing orders without opposition. "The accounts of the company have been audited sub sequently to the late meeting, and the report of the auditors is as follows. It is trusted that the pecuniary position of the company's affairs, as therein shown, will be deemed highly satisfactory 1y the proprietors.. 121)1TORS' REPORT. " We. the undersigned, the auditors duly appointed to atrlit the accounts of the NVaterfurd, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Compiny, do report that the accounts have been submitted to us, and that we have examined the same. with the vouchers of each separate account, and have found them in all respects perfi•ctly accurate and correct. We think it right to add, that the system upon which these accounts have been kept appears to us to be highly satisfactory, and to reflect great credit upon all concerned. "E. S. CODD, I Auditors." " F. W. SLADE, The accounts laid before the meeting stated the amount of receipts, deposits on shares, to be 112,7791. Expenses before obtaining the Act to be ...... £35,414 Expenses after obtaining the Act Total amount - of expenditure £40,117 Leaving a balance of 72,6621. Mr.lsl'lloxar.o meved that the report should be adopted and printed. Mr. 1)1cl:sox felt he would not be doing his duty to him self and his fellow-shareholders if he did not protest against the report. It stated that the accounts appeared to the auditors to be highly satisfactory. No doubt they would ap pear satisfactory to them anl the directors; but these auditors had not been appointed by this meeting, and the feeling could not be suppresse2. beyond the room that this auditing had taken place in secrecy. He was convinced that had auditors been appointed by the meeting, they would not have been allowed entrance into the directors' private r corn. Here, then, they had 16,000/., Parliamentary agents and law ex penses huddled up together in one sum ; and here was 10,000/. engineering expenses, huddled up in another sum, without one word of explanation as to details. Why, they did not know how their money was being spent. lie himself had heard—he did not make the charge—that large sums had been given away in hush moues', for secret service, and such like, in Ireland. If things were stated more satisfactorily, the effect would be mere satis faction. He then found fault with the small amount of money called for by the directors—a sum amounting to seine 20,0001. —which would not make a mile, instead of 130; it would not bore their tunnel through Brayhead. He thought that the call ought to have been something like 5/. a share. Mr. lterNow thought, with the gentleman who had spoken, that if one of the auditors had been a gentleman ap pointed on the part of the discontented shareholders, of whom he was one, the report would have had more weight with the meeting. That report was merely an echo of the report put forward by the directors on the 21st December last. By the report of the 21st December the directors had 72,9251. in hand. He now asked by what common-sense or mercy the directors had, within 48 hours, made a call upon the shares, making up an additional sum of 40,0001 ? But he was afraid that, as respected the answer, they might as well " call spirits from the vasty deep."—(Laughter.) lie wished to know to whom the 50,800/. had been lent at 4 per cent. interest? Lord COURTOWN declined to answer him. Eywor.D, after remarking on the salary allowed to the Secretary as being too large, regretted that the directors had not met the shareholders in a more amicable spirit. He concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the report of the directors was not satisfactory, and therefore ought to be re jected. Mr. DICKSON seconded it. Captain WAIMLNGTON asked why, when so la.ge a pro portion of shares were unsubscribed for, the directors had not called a meeting of the shareholders and made it known ? Lord COURTOWN—We did not feel it our duty. Captain WAmtricToN— What have the directors done with the reserved shares ? The CHAIRMAN declined to ans Nen Captain WAuttiNGToN asked whether it was keeping faith with Parliament to borrow a large sum of money to comply with the standing orders? The CirmamA;r declined to answer. After some observations from Dr. GRAY, The CHAtamaN put the amendment, and declared it was lost. The original motion was then put and carried. Mr. CoKs proposed a vote of thanks to the Noble Chair- Man and his colleagues in the direction, which was seconded, and (parried. Th• meeting then separated. LYNN AND ELY RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Lynn and Ely Railway was held this morning, at the London Tavern ; Mr. Henry Lacey, Deputy-Chairman of the Board of Directors in the chair. The report stated that at the general meeting of share holders, in August last , the directors expressed their anticipa tion that the portion of the line between Lynn and Downham Market would shortly be ready for opening. This anticipation was realised; for, atter inspection and approval by the Go vernment officer, this part of the line was opened for traffic on the 27th of October. It was never expected that a large trade could be carried on upon so short a length of railway. The object was more for the sake of acquiring a staff for the working of longer distances, and for testing the qualities of the men and machinery. than for any purposes of profit. The directors, however, had the sa tisfaction of stating, that during the short period which had since elapsed, and that, too, in the midst of a severe winter, and whilst all the usual and ordinary means of travelling still exist, the traffic had quite come up to their expecta tions. By arrangement with the directors of the other lines, constituting with this the East Anglian Railways, engines and carriages had been ordered. Four engines of the very best construction had been already received from Messrs. sharp, Brothers, of Manchester. "fhe directors need hardly say that their quality cannot be exceeded. Others will shortly be delivered. The companies were in possession of eight fi.class, seven second-class, and ten third class passenger carriages. Others were in course of delivery. in order to meet the great difficulty at present existing of obtaining railway plant, the directors had established work shops for the construction of waggons and trucks for the conveyance of goods. It was fully expected that the line will be completed, through to Ely, by the end of the month 43 f July. The Bill for amalgamating this company with the Lynn and Dereham and the Ely and Hunting deft/lie Companies, and the Bills for the extension lines and the other works promoted by this company, had severally passed Touching Orders' Committee of the House of Commons. the .

Tl:e turn of 6001. was voted to the directors for their ser vices in the past ye ar. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors was pro posed, which was met by an amendment, put forward by the section of shareholders who disapprove of the leasing to the Eastern Counties Company, that the directors be omitted from the resolution. The amendment was, however, negativeJ, and the original 'notion carried. LYNN AND DEREITAI4I RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this line vras than held; Mr. Lacy in the chair. The report was -precisely the same as the one read at the previous meeting. The receiptsamounted to 224,909/. Os. 10d., and the expenditure to 149,E23/. Os. 10d., leaving a balance of 75,38F1. The report was adopted, and the other formal matters gone through. The sum of 6004 was voted to the directors for their ser vices in the past year. ELY AND HUNTINGDON RAILWAY. The half-yearly 'netting of the proprietors of this line was then held; Mr. Lacy in the chair. The report stated that the directors confidently anticipated that the portion of this railway, between St. Ives and Hun tingdon, would be opened for traffie in the month of May next. In pursuance of the provisions of the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, two of the directors retire from office. Mr. Lacy and Mr. Reynolds retire on this occa sion, but were re-eligible, and were willing to act again. W. Tinker, Esq., one of the auditors, also retired, but was eligible for re-election, and offered himself accordingly. The receipts amounted to 110,985/. 155., and the expenditure to 97,593/., leaving a balance of 13,392/. 15s. in hand. The report was unanimously adopted, and the retiring directors and auditors having been re-elected, the sum of 600/. was voted,to the directors for their services in the past year. LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE RAir,w AY.—(THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of the share holders of this company, was held to-day at the offices of the company, 5, Church-passage, Guildhall ; Mr. Frith in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, from which we make the following extracts : " Although the works generally have almost kept pace with the funds at the disposal of your directors, they regret that the progress of the embankment during the winter has not been equal to their anticipations ; this is mainly attributable to the unparalleled severity of the past season, which has not only retarded the progress of the contractors, but, in some instances, has partially damaged the unfinished portion of their works. While your directors thus regret the delay arising from this circumstance, they point with peculiar satisfaction to the proof thereby afforded of the great stability of the works where completed; as during a hurricane, the most zevere experienced for many years, with the wind from the worst quarter, and at the top of unusually high tides, not the slightest damage was done to the finished portions of the embankments. " Your directors, mindful of the pressure of the times, have circumscribed the calls on the shareholders much within the amount authorised by the Act of Parliament ; but they now hope that, as the season for more activity in the works ad vances, that confidence which has hitherto been evinced towards the undertaking will be continued, and thus enable your directors to place the company in the position of exer cising the powers of the Act for borrowing a portion of the capital required. " Suggestions have been made to your directors that they should, without delay, construct the Branch to Newtown Limovady. This subject is one of great interest, and will receive every consideration ; but as such suggestions involve some alterations in the course of the line, your directors will not decide upon their adoption without the previous ap proval of a special general meeting of the proprietors. In the meantime they take this opportunity of acknowledging the very valuable assistance they continue to derive from the active services of the local board, who are zealously alive to the best interests of the undertaking." Captain WArrs wished, before the motion for the adoption of the report was put, to call the attention of the meeting to a law report which appeared a short time since, in which it was stated that an injunction had been obtained restrain ing the company from proceeding with the works on the embankment, and the judge oa that occasion was repre sented to have made some strictures rather derogatory to the company. He wished to have some explanation with regard to this point. . . Mr. TYRRELL, the solicitor to the company, then entered into a lengthened statement of the transactions and negotia tions that bad taken place between Mr. Dimsdale, the original ' proprietor of the embankment, and Mr. Hemming, the con tractor; as also of the proceedings in law that had resulted, and concluded by saying, that the company had nothing to fear from any attempt, present or future, of Mr. Dimsdale to involve them in litigation, and the recent differences had been arranged. The CIIaII:MAN, in reply to questions from proprietors, observed that should any deviation be intended to be carried out, the proprietors should be previously consulted—that the signatures of Ikl•!asrs. Russ and Stevenson, the former en• giueers of the company, had been accepted on the score of economy, but the present engineer, Mr. Lanyon, had formerly acted under Mr. Stevenson, and was I.lcely to give every satisfaction—that the directors intended to make these calls larger and more frequen!, till they amounted to 271.105., when they would be in a poii!ion, in accordance with the Act, to borrow a portion of the capital necessary to complete the undertaking —that of the first call there were 65 shares unpaid, 55 of which were arranged, and the remaining, 10 only were doubtful ; of the second call, the deficiency was 412/. 10s. 2J. ; of the third 9251. ; and the deficiency on all the calls amounted to ab,,ut 9,01)0/. The report was then unanimously adopted, and ordered to be circulated. Some conversation ensued as to the propriety of taking steps to get in the deficiency on the calls, and The CHAIRMAN intimated that no exertion would be wanting for that purpose. On the motion of Captain WATTS, seconded by Mr. LEWIS, a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. THAMES HAVEN DOCK AND RAIL W AY.—(TH IS DAY.) The usual half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held to-day at the Guildhall Coffee-house, Gresham -street, City; Mr. Esdale, President of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, _ _ _ CHAIRMAN said that the requisite number of shareholders being present, they were now in a position to proceed to business. He would not oc cupy their attention further, as the directors desired that the shareholders would allow them to adjourn the present meeting for one month. The reason was, that the directors were in negotiation with a wealthy and respect able company respecting their company. They would carry on the proceeding, and then they would be in a position to lay before the shareholders a report, together with a financial statement, that would prove satisfactory. They bad then no report to present; he would, therefore, move that this meet ing be adjourned to Friday, 26th March. Mr. KIRWAN seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. The meeting then separated. SALE OF RAILWAY SHARES BY AUCTION. The sale of Railway Shares to-day, by Messrs.

The plaintiff in this action is a boot and shoemaker in St. John's, New Brunswick, and the defendant is an officer of her Majesty's Customs, in England. The action was brought to recover the sum of 171. Is. sd. for goods sore'. The defendant pleaded infancy, and that the articles were not necessaries. The case was somwhat unusual, as it had been necessary , to send out a Commission to St. John's, for the examina tion of witnesses, although the plea was clearly a sham plea, as the defendant did not appear to support it. Mr. PIIINN, who appeared for the plaintiff, stated the case, and read the evidence taken under the commission, front which it appeared, that at the time the debt was con tracted (1842) defendant held an appointment in the Com missariat department at St. John's, which ozabled him to mix in the first society, and that consequently the charges, although high, were justifiable, as the priors there were much higher than in England. It was also deposed that he had given a bill of exchange which was dishonoured for the whole amount, and had frequently admitted the debt. No evidence being adduced as to the infancy, Mr. PHINN said that part of the account had been paid, and they now claimed only a balance of 51. 19s. 3d. SeTLis NUvf 'eN as a i‘ E n i S r .rS. inquiryeTe l o l n E d t E :a ri s T s J E :s t i s 3 NT for injuries sustained by an accident which occurred on the theE9 R AILWAYa d n a d rn a g S e p s eC" at: t im ,: dr t h 'jt e llu plaintiff, rYy. Eastern Counties Railway, on the 18th of J&ly last. The defendants allowed judgment to go by default. Mr. Sergeant Shee and .Ir. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for the railway company. The accident arose by the train being run into, whilst stationary at the Bow station, by which several persons were seriously injured, and the plaintiff is so probably for life. The Railway Company bad offered a comperssa tion of 2001., which was refused, it being alleged that the plain tiff had been rendered incapable a carrying on his business as a farmer :Ind cattle dealer, and a carcase butcher, at Aid ict its, and hide merchant, in Leadenhall-market. There are about 40 witnesses to be examined, aid the evi dence to show the loss in trade was proceeding with at the time the report left, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins stating, that as the defendants had admittoil tli,it the accident ()marred t:lpAigh the negligence, care' , ssnes, nr misconduct of their cci wants, it was unnecessary to hear evidence as to the cause of the ac • cident. Several witnesses were called to show that, in consequence of the accident, plaintiff had lot all his customers, as he could not attend to the business, and had been obliged to give up his shop. By the medical and other evidence, it appeared that plain tiff's knee was so much injured that although no bone was broken he was confined to his bed fur a month, and had been put to great expence at Margate, and was still compelled to go on crutches. The medical men, however, entertained hopes that he would recover the use of the limb in the course of a few mouths. The Railway Company paid the surgeon's expenses up to November last, but plaintiff was still under this surgeon's band. Serg. WILKINS addressed the jury at great length, and con tended that the company, by offering 200 L, had offered a liberal compensation. The SECONDARY summed up, and said that, in such a case, besides the loss in trade, the plaintiff was entitled to ample, but not extravagant, damages for the pain and inconvenience he had suffered. The Jury gave a verdict for 750/. The damages were Lid at 2,0001. PETITIONS ON PRIVATE BILLS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAY.) (Room 22, before Mr. Examiner SMITH.)

HOUSE OP LORDS. Their Lordship) met at Five o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal Assent was given be Cortam; , siol to the Destitute Per•o! s (Ireland) Bill, when the Lord Chan cellor, the Earl of Minto, and Lurd Campbell sat as R ,yal Commissiorers. PROGRESS OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Lord STANLEY rose in accordance with the notice he had given last night to ask a question as to the progress of public business. He then adverted to the state of the business before their Lordships, or rather the state of no business, and remarked that they were now in the sixth week of the session, and with the exception of what was on the paper for that evening, there was not a single Bill or notice of motion on the books to submit to their Lordships' consideration, and from what ho could learn as to the state of business in the other House, where the estimates were under consideration; it was not likely that they would have any for some time. The Irish measures were postponed, he understood, till the Bth of March, and in all probability would not be ready to be submitted to their Lordships before the 16th of March. He must say, considering this state of things, that they should have the origination of Usome measures in that House for instance, those relating to the improvement of the law to prison discipline and other matters which he consi dered could be discussed in the first place by their Lord ships with more advantage than by the other House. The questions, therefore, he wished to ask were-Ist, whether the Government intended to originate any measures in that House before Easter, and if so, what those measures were, and at what period they would be brought forward ? And 2d, whether it was likely that any Bills would be sent up before that period from the other Houses of Parliament? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE replied that there had been more business transacted during the first six weeks of this session than during the same period last session, and by a statement which he had drawn out, it appears that there was much more business transacted than in the session before last, when the Noble Lord was in office, At all times there arose great obstacles to the introduc tion of Bills first into the present House ; as it was ge nerally found the best course to introduce them into the other House, and bring them up in due course to the present one. With regard to the amount of business done, he might remark, that instead of only one Bill having passed, as alledged, through all its stages, there had at least been six important passed, since Parliament commenced, measures neces sary to meet the condition of the people of Ireland. He made bold to say that this was a greater amount of business than had ever been done during any first six weeks of a session for a long period of time. Re specting the state of business generally, he begged leave to observe that the reason why it had not made greater progress in the other House was the fact that a great part of the time had been taken up with the consideration of measures of a temporary nature to meet the distress of Ireland. This, and the discussions of a plan for the extension of rail ways in Ireland had done much to retard the other business before Parliament. It had also been found necessary at an earlier period than usual to discuss the financial affairs of the country, as it would have been impossible to decide on the measures neces sary for Ireland without dealing with the question of finance, which was preliminary to them. The measures for the further relief of Ireland, to which the Noble Lord had alluded, would most certainly go forward on the Bth of March, as the postponement had taken place to make certain amendments which were deemed ne cessary for their more efficient working. lie begged also to observe that no time would be lost by ths Government in bringing forward other measures which they thought the circum stances of the country required ; especially measures for the amendment anti improvement of the penal laws, and the laws which related to the treat ment of criminals. It was the intention of the Government to take such steps as would lead to the reformation of criminals.—(Hear.) He trusted this explanation would show that the Government had neglected no opportunity of forwarding the business, and that no blame was to be attributed to them if it was not so advanced as the Noble Lord desired.—(Hear.) Lord BROUGHAM thought there was good reason for complaining of the present state of the business in that House. They were constantly complaining, and he thought they ought to have some redress. He was of opinion that sufficient use had nut been made of the time between November and the time they were arrived at, for that period might have been employed in the pre paration of Bills which were to come under the con sideration of Parliament. With great respect for their Lordships House, and for the otht.r House of Parliament, he must yet say that he always looked to the end of the session as the moat important part of it; but it seemed from the observation that had just fallen from the Noble Lord they were at that moment very far from the end of the rossion. The Noble Lord had just informed them that a Bill was to be introduced into the other House on the Bth of March, and nobody cotfd tell when it might come up to their Lordships' House. But there was a dispatch in business, a mastery, a power of decision, without delaying from day to day, for ten days together, and that might pos sibly move the business forward with greater speed. But he marvelled that more Bills were nut introduced into their Lordships' House, which would very much expedite the course of business. As for penalties, why, there was a distinction between penalties and taxes, under which the other House would not object to the Bill being intro duced into their Lordship's House ; but so far as that went, the Bill might be proceeded with, and the penalty being left blank, could be filled up in the other House. There was an important subject, which might be brought under the consideration of ther Lord ships—he meant the Criminal Law; but he found that a Bill bad been introduced into the other House of Parliament on the same subject. Yet he was sure that the penal law would have come under the consideration of a Committee of their Lordships. Persons who were not professionally connected with the law thought it would come under their attention and inquiry with great benefit. He had given notice of his intention to move for a Committee of Inquiry on the subject but he hesitated much whether be ought now to move especially aft er hi s N o b le Friend for that Comnaitt ee, had just intimated that the Government intended intro ducing measures on the subject; he felt great doubt therefore, wheth er he ou g ht to press his motion on Mon ' day or Tuesday or not. Earl of WICKLOW said that complaints at that period of the session were very unusual. But, saving tor some arrange ment, some of the Bills in the other House would have been up to their Lordship's House. There were two Irish Bills. He meant that Bill for granting a million-and-a-half for the purpose of improving the lands in Ireland, sod another for alter ations in the Poo-law. Now it had been determined that these two Bills should proceed pari passe through the other House ; but for that arrangement the Money Bill might have been before their Lordships. The reason was evident. When the Noble Lord introduced the Corn Bill last session, lie stated that that but formed part of a great system of legislation which would yet be brought under their Lordships' notice A Bill was brought forward to lend 2,000,0001. to this country, and 1,000,000/. to Ireland. 'the Bill was passed, but it was found that, as regarded Ireland, it would be inappropriate. But a pledge was given by the Noble Marquis, that as the Bill as amended would be too late for Parliament to pass that session, it should be brought forward in this session. But this was no fulfilment of the Government pledges that a Bill granting 500,0001. should go through the House pari passe with some other measures. He did not by this course mean to oppose the other measures, but he would certainly oppose the mode at present adopted in the bringing forward of those measures. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE exaplained. He admitted that a pledge had been given, but it was deemed advisable that these Bills, for the benefit of the landlords and the employment of the general poor should be passed at one and the same moment ; again, this Bill was essentially different from the one which had been under the consideration of the House in the last session, inasmuch as it provided for the granting of a much larger sum of money. It was not intended as a mere Drainage Act, but was proposed for the general good of the country. After a few words from Lord ASHBURTON, The LORI) CHANCELLOR, remarked that the Bill for the regulation of the Charitable Trusts would be brought forward as soon as the other measure were in a state to allow of its being taken into consideration. With regard to the Church Discipline Bill, there was some difficulty in dealing with it, uulesss they had the co-operation of the Right Rev. Prelates, and a conference with them with regard to it. was still pending. With regard to the measure relating to debtor and creditor, ho had it then under considera tion, and he hoped to be able to bring it forward very shortly. Lord BROUGHAM expressed his dissatisfaction with the present accommodation of the House of Lords, and said he would prefer to sit for an even ing in any union workhouse than in that building. Ile had that day the great gratification going over the new houses ; and averse as he was to Gothic architecture, he was bound to say that the taste, the ingenuity, the skill, and the splendour of all he saw, I was almost sufficient to reconcile him to that style of architecture. If anything could mitigate his dislike to Gothic architecture, and to the inconvenience which he felt in the present building, it was the exterior and interior beauty of all he had seen that day. It was the most splendid pile of buildings to be seen in any country, an d reflected the greatest credit on the architect who had de s fined it and carried it into execution. The Marquis of LANSDOWSE had great pleasure in stating that he had been informed by the architect to whom tie Noble and Learned Lord had paid such a handsome compliment, that were their Lordships desirous of adjourning to the new House before Easter, it would be ready for their reception. Still he did not think it would be their desire to adjourn before the usual time, and if they did not, then would every thing be ready for their reception immediately on their re-assem bling after the holidays.—(Cheers. — (Cheers.) After a few words from Lord BROUGIIIIM, expresine a hope that unity of design and execution would be observed iu the frescoes. the subject dropped. (LEFT SITTING ) HOUSE OF COMMONS.

SUGAR.-To-day prices further declined for all descriptions of Sugar suited for home consumption, the quantity pressed for sale being large, and heavy public sales of East India, Mauritius, and Foreign being announced for next week. In West India the business transacted was extremely limited in all sorts, the sales only reaching 50 hhds and trcs. The decline in prices for the week has been 6d to is per cwt; and the total quantity sold amounts to only 280 hhds during that time. REFINED. —To-day there were sellers of Refined goods upon further reduced terms; but the home trade operated with caution. The value of standard lumps is 64s 6d, and brown lumps low to tine 623 to 63s 6d. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted for exportation—fine at 365; but little is to be had. MAiruinus.—This afternoon the market was abundantly supplied with Mauritius Sugar, the quantity offered at public sale amounted to 13,985 bags 296 casks and 75 tierces. The proprietors were desirous to sell, and accepting prices 6d to is per cwt under those of Tuesday's sales, caused the whole to be disposed of. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with little attention, and 3,338 bags at auction sold at rather lower rates. Of Madras, 147 bags sold at rather lower rates. MOLASSES —There are sellers of West India rather under previous rates, as the supply it on the increase, and the de mand limited for all descriptions. The value of low to fine quality is 22s to 26s per cwt. At Auction 120 casks of Mauritius were disposed of at 21s to 21s 6d for common irty. East India Treacle is dull of sale, and 21s to 25s are he nearest rates. FOREIGN.—The arrivals having further increased of all kinds of foreign Sugar, and the quantity brought to market, available for home consumption, being large, a fall in the value of all descriptions has taken place, a strong desire having been shown uy merchants to realise. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no pubic sale of any kind of Coffee. I'rivately there was a much better demand for Native Ceylon, and large parcels were sold at 41s 6d to 42s for good ordinary pale, at which the market closed firmly. TEA.—To- day the Tea market was quiet, but sound com mon Congou, for cash, was not to be obtained under 91 per lb. RICE.—To- day only a moderate business was transacted in East India, but the former value was supported ; at public sale 498 bags Bengal were taken in at 24s ror good white. SALTPETRK.—Previous improved rates are fully sustained for Rough, and the home and export demand has been good by private treaty. SPlCES.—Cassia Lignea is wanted, and buyers are com pelled to pay stiff rates. Ginger has secured a good sale, and the rates paid are fully as high. Black Pepper met with little attention. White is wanted, and the parcels sold pri vately were at stiff rates. The supply of Pimento is still on the decrease, and buyers are compelled to pay stiff rates. For Nutmegs prices remain as high. Mace is wanted, and quotations range high. Coarse and inferior sorts of Cinna mon can be obtained at remarkably low prices, but good and flue kinds are wanted, and are retching a small advance. Cloves are held with firmness, and the de.nand is improving. Sirens.—Although there are sellers of East India Rum at a reduction on former rates of 2d to 3d per gallon ; still all parties have operated with caution, and the sales for the week do not exceed 150 hhds of Calcutta. Leeward Island is little wanted, and can be had upon rather lower terms. Jamaica has been purchased with caution, and there is a desire to realise. Demerara met with little attention, and prices are not so high. Holders of Brandy are desirous to realise on account of the continued arrivals, but they, sub mitting to further reduced rates, occasioned the home de mand to be good. Geneva has been in less request. Corn Spirits dull of sale. INDIGO.—The market has a firm appearance for all de scription of East India, and the tendency of prices is still upwards. COCIIINEAL—This afternoon a good desire was shown to operate. At public sale 118 bags of Honduras silvers sold at 58 7d to 6s ; and 7 bags of black at 5s 8d to 7s Ed per lb., which is rather higher. Ores.—Linseed oil is still attracting attention, and the tendency of prices is upwards. Rape Seed oil met with an active demand, and prices rule very firm. Olive is attracting much attention. Cocoa Nut has been only in limited request. In Palm the operations have been upon a larger scale, but not at improved rates. In Cod only a small amount of business has been transacted. Seal raet with little attention. There being sellers of Southern rather under previous reduced terms, occasioned the demand to be good. Sperm is not much wanted, the stock being on the increase. TALLOW.—The stock of all sorts is yet much less than it was last year; whilst the deliveries continue satisfactory, and a further rise in prices took place of 3d to 6d per cwt. THE LONDON GAZETTE.

BRO WNE presented several petitions from places in the county of Mayo, praying for mere ex tended relief to the people of Ireland. One of these prayed for a grant of fifty millions to relieve the suffer ings of the people. Another stated that many of the petitioners were only receiving vs wages from 3i. to 5-4. per week. while oatmeal was selling at 30s. per cwt Mr. MACKINNON presented a petit ion from a place near Manchester against the Anatomy Bill. Mr. RICE presented a petition from a place in Kent against the Poor Removal Act of last session. - Mr. GOULBURN presented anetition from Eaton, in Cambridgeshire, against the operation of the Anatomy Bill ; also a petition from West India proprietors, in favour of the reduction of the duties on colonial rum. The RIGHT HON. GENTLEMAN also presented a peti tion against the differential duty on rum, and praying that it be admitted at a similar duty to that imposed on British spirits. LAW OF SETTLEMENT. Mr. EVANS presented several petitions praying for an alteration in the present law of settlement. SCARCITY OF SHIPPING. Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a petition from 800 inhabitants of Birmingham, praying that in the present scarcity of shipping the Government would allow the ships of the navy to be engaged in conveying food into the country. The Hon. Member also presented peti tions to the same effect from several places in Scotland. OATH OF SUPREMACY. Mr. MOFFATT presented a petition from several inhabitants of Darlington against the proposed repeal of the law regarding the oath of supremacy. The peti tioners were of opinion that the abrogation of the oath would endanger the Crown of her Majesty. Mr. CALLAGHAN presented a petition from Cork, complaining of the unequal pressure of the present sys tem of rating, and praying that a general system of taxation be substituted instead. EDUCATION. Mr. HINDLEY gave notice, that on Monday next he would ask the Noble Lord the First Lord of the Treasury what he intended should be the amount of the grant for education this year? and, secondly, whether he intended to bring specially under the notice of the House the minute of Council on Education, laid on the table the sth of February, or only incidentally to allude to it while in Committee of Supply? MESSAGE FRONI THE LORDS—ROYAL ASSENT. Mr. Pulman, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the bar, and summoned the House to attend the. House of Lords, in order to hear the Royal Assent given to several Bills (fur which see Lords' report). The Speaker, accompanied by several Members, then withdrew. The SPEAKER, on his return, informed the House that her ,iajesty by co:bmission had given the royal assent to the Destitute Persons (Ireland) B:I1 and some other IRELAND. Sir R. H. INGLIS, seeing his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary fur Ireland in his place, he begged to ask him in what form the grant of 50,000/. was to be made to the landlords of Ireland; for at the time it was before the House the Right Hun. Gentleman said it would not be made in money? He begged to ask him also what use had been made, or might be made, of the seed which had been granted by the Government to the farmers in Ireland, what prospects there were that it would alleviate the condition of Ireland and prevent a continuan, e of the present miseries over next year. Mr. LABOUCHERE said hi was sorry he could give no definite and distinct answer to the Hon. Baronet's questions. But he was sure that the House would not be of opinion that the cultivation of the soil depended at all on the small grant of seed which had been made by the Government, It could not be for a moment sup posed that the Government, by any grant, could supersede the necessity of private exertion. As to the prospects of the soil being cultivated, although he could give no definite answer to the Hon. Baronet, still he was glad to say that there was a larger extent of land laid out for wheat this year than in any previous year; at the same time, in other parts of Ireland, there were districts which, he feared, would remain uncultivated during the coming year. Much, however, depended on the next six weeks whether exertions were taken in time to remedy the evil which it was not yet too late to avert. He implored the upper and middle classes to do all in their power to bring about this desirable object, and he was in hope that Ireland would yet recover herself beyond their anticipations. Mr. I'. SCROPE had understood that where the land lord had neglected to supply seed to the tenant, some power should be given to those who supplied such on credit to enforce a first lien upon the growing crops, so that the produce should not all go to the credit of the landlord. If that were the case, he believed that a large supply would be given, on the faith of repayment from the growing crops. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that no such measure was in contemplation. BANK RETURNS. Mr. HUME said that he would move the returns, which stood on the paper of yesterday, relative to bank accounts, &c.—Agreed to. DRAINAGE ACTS. Sir G. GREY said that, on Monday, he should beg leave of the House to bring in a Bill for the amending of the Drainage Act passed in the last session of Parliament. LIMITED ENLISTMENT ACT. _ _ Mr. FOX MAULE gave notice that, on Monday, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill for a limited enlistment in the army.—(C;heers.) He would merely move the first reading, and take the discussion on the Bill in a future stage. Sir G. GREY said that with reference to the first part of the observations addressed to the House by the lion. and beamed Mereber, ho theught it •.e be but right to slate to the Ilouee the course to be adepted by the Government. 01 receiving the re pert of the . Committee of inquiry into the circumstances connected with the administration of the Poor-law, he (Sir. George Grey) had addressed to the Poor-law Commissioners a letter, calling upon them to state what might have been the course followed by them in conducting the business of their office. He had received a full report upon that subject, and that report had been referred to the opinion or the law officers ot the crown, to aseertaie how far the practice of the Commissioners trail it be in confernery with the law under which they held their powers. ho rt suit of that reference was, that the opinion given was not such as to leave her Majesty's Government no doubt as to the legal . ty of the Acts, or the validity of the law under which they were performed. He was surprised that the Honourable Gentleman should have proposed to delay by a long in quiry the measures to be adopted with regard to Ire land, when he himself had approved of them.—(llpar, hear.) The Noble Lord at the head of the Government had stateA the (eirs.- he was to i..ursue upon this point, and had asked arid obtaieed leave to brine in u Bid epic this subject. That Bid would shortly be in the hands of Honeureble Members, and would be under considera than upon the Bth of March, the day for which the dis cussion on the subject was fixed. Mr. HUME wished to call attention to another im portant document. He wished to call attention not to the evidence, but to the report of the Committee ap pointed to inquire into the subject of the Andover Union. That report showed comp!, tely that every act of the Commissioners since the year 1841 was illegal, When the Committee were asked to condemn the con duct of the Commissioners, their reply was that the con duct of the Commissioners was not referred to them by the House. The Commissioners had carried on their business in private rooms without having a secretary present to record it. The proceedings were noted down un slips of paper, instead of being recorded in books, and that was an additional reason why Government I should take up the question. It was rather too bad when an inquiry had been instituted into a particular matter, Government should decline to take any notice of its results. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN stated that as an indivi dual he buliev(d, after ktving carefully examined the working of the two Poor-law Bills, in England and Ire land, that it would be a benefit to Ireland if the English Poor-law were taken clause by clause, and applied to Ire land, and any Hon. Member who would bring forward such a measure should receive his cordial support. Mr. SHAW wished to know when the House were likely to have in their hands the Bill for the reconst;tu• tion of the poor-law board for Ireland, and whether it was intended to bring the measure of the Irish poor-law under discussion at the same time as the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill, which was to be brought forward on the Bth of March. Lord JOHN RUSSELL before he answered the ques tion of the Hon. Member for the University of Dublin, would make a remark upon what had fallen from the Honourable Member for Montrose, that lion. Member seemed to suppose that the reports of the District Assylums Committee and the Andover Union Com mittee were left unheeded and neglected by the Govern ment, who stood by as though they were nut concerned in the matters referred to in those reports. He would ask, then, whether any higher authority could be appealed to, for knowing whether the mode in which the (Anmi,sioners did their business in a legal manner or not, than the Attorney General, at least so long - us the administration of the Poor-law was under the management of Governmen ? Oa that appeal the only answer they got was, that the Commissioners could b • asked for any further ex planation. It was true that there had been a seer's of letters in the newspapers, signed by Mr. M. 1). in which allegations Here matte that the Commissioners did their bthiress illegally, but all these allegations were founded on an anonymous case, which was itself founded upon nothing, and it wini a little hard that such grave im putations as these should he thrown out against the poor law commissioners ou the asserti,ais of this unani mous gentleman. Fur his own part, he could n o t h e lp tieing of opinion that, if the commissioners had thus violated the law to such ar. extent they must have been conscious of the fact. So much f• r the legality part of the affair. With respect to the d , •lay in bringing or ss ard the measure, the li.use knew as well as lie did, that, what with the measut es for the ityroducti , ,n of corn, the Sugar Distilleries Bit!, the discussion on the Noble Lord's proposition of railways for Ireland, that while carrying forward the measures for the relief of that country, it was utterly impossible with the few days at the command of Government to bring the Poor-law Bill under the notice of the House, and he would have been highly imprudent if he had forced it forward. With respect to the alter..tion of the poor-law in Ire land, he hoped that they should .be enabled to lay on the table papers containing ink rtnaion relative to the administration of the poor• law in Ireland. He would have wished to go pro forma into Committee upon the Poor law (Ireland) Bill, but it would be too late to do it, but on Monday evening he should move that it be committed. He would then propose a Bill for the loans fur Ireland. (LEFT SITTING.) LATEST PRICES OF SHARES. IN BANKS, ASSURANCE. AND OTHER t_ OM PANIES' STOCK. From ete Official List, PUBLISHED EVERY TULADAY AND FRIDAY EVEICINU. LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2.6 JOINT-STOCK POOR LAWS. On the motion that thelltiusere;olve itself into Com mittee of Supply, Mr. ROEBUCK said that he .had given notice of his intention to ask a question of the Right Ho nourable Baronet, the Secretary of State, relative to the present poor-laws in this country. There were few in that House who had Rot seen the columns of the Times, when an extraordinary opinion bad been given by a Learned Friend of his with respect to the pour laws. Questions had been put to Mr. Matthew Hill, whether certain proceedings of the Poor-law Com missioners had been legal, and if proceedings could be taken against them by indictment or other wise, to which Mr. Hill answered that the first Act of the statutes was legal, but that the conduct of the Poor-law Commissioners was illegal if the facts were as Cescribed in the question; and, thirdly, that they could be proceeded against by indict ment, by information, or by action. Among other regu latione in this act, these Commissioners were to act as a Board, and not in their individual capacity as Commis sioners, and their proceedings were to be subject to the, supervisi on o f t h e Secretary of State. And now it ap peared, from the result of this Andover inquiry, that ever since their constitution, the Act of Parliament had been violated, and the question he had to ask what was now to be done. Ho was quite sure that no man who had taken part in the discussions on which this law was passed would be inclined to throw out the slightest im putation against the Poor-law Commissioners ; but it was very evident that the law had broken down under them. But they were about to recon struct this law, and there was on the table of the House a measure for establishing an amended Poor-law for Ireland, and there was a vague notion that this law was motion hi o cae,, b tin, ei e od. na, were emae than a l t a sthht t e e esy d )e.. st t aso o il orper t ira h ood a ery t e tefhoder possessed?wEp trt n et g t s, e l , tit d pt a, iny fasu h mr etehiiwas,et would baieni, ask boerit. t d was therefore evidently to necessary lawaod to take mea sures for improving t i a t k, A e lis soni to ' e be the ord }or o oh imputation t p e o u s t a l re constructed without throwing any thoseth e gentlemenpres ent only o o f n kl fee o w n ; through commissioners, he must say that they were not the persons to carry it out. They would have indictments and actions brought againt them in all parts of the country, and they would lead a life for which he certainly did not envy them. Thi s was the last session, and he would ask the N o bl e Lord again whether they were to legislate without information ?—(" Hear, hear," from Lord J. Russell.) By that cheer he supposed the anwer he would get would be, that they were not. At the present moment three or four gentlemen, who had been entrusted with the carrying out of this law had taken on themselves to violate an Act of Par liament. Under these circumstances he would wish to know, if it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to extend the poor-law to Ire land, whether it would be equitable to do so without a knowledge of all the circumstances connected with its b H working in E ng la n d. He, as thehouse m aware, was not one of those who wished totidsvtfend of that community l an dl or d s , b u t they were a part community whom they were bound t o prouct. Therefore he thought it w o uld not be right to put them under this law without a knowledge of its working from the C in missioners. He would ask the No ble Lord if he had re ceived any suggestions from the Poor - la w C o m in isioners tor it w as th eir duty to have made tho se s uggestions. lie was obliged to confess that the poor - law administra tion in this country had bccii a lamentable failure. Ile believed that this wes not the fault of the law but of the parties who were employed to carry it out, who were not efficient. They were going on in the dark at present, and he thought it the duty of the Government to tell the House what they were about to propose, not only with respect to the pour-law in England but also in Ireland. The law was based on many difficult points conr,ected both with that House and with the tranquillity of Ire land, and he thought that the best means at the present moment would be to institute a thorough inquiry into the system.
