DOCK POAPD. The weekly meeting of this board took plate at one o'clock yesterday, Mr. Brocklebank presiding,. The other members present were—Messrs. Shand, Evans, Langton, Bushell, Rankin, Inman, Lockett, 11toss, Boult, Anderson, Farnworth, Hubback, M'lver, Littleaale, Hutchison. *ORKS COMMIttEE The committee recommended that the tender of Messrs. George Forester and Co. be accepted for cast iron sheet piles. The resolution of the water committee, with reference to the supply of fountains along the Flock walls with water, having been read, it was resolved 'that . a deputation, consisiting of Messrs. Brocklebank and Bushell, wait upon the water Committee at their next 'Meeting. A deputation from the timber trade waited von the committee upon tie subject of the accommodation to be' provided for 'that trade in the event of a 'portion of th la,tid upon 'the east side of the Ilttskisson 'dock, hithetto occupied by 'the trade as a temporary arrangement, being taken for 'Vac site of the new steam dock. After the , deputation had retired the committee 'proceeded to the , tottsidefation of the question, rad it ivits resolved' thnt the timber 'trade be informed that there rre now it their occupation upon the east side tgangliisstitraockl7,ot square yards - df land, from which the roposenock 'woad require 7,560 square yards, leaving 40,40 t) 'yards still in the occupation of the trade, in addition to whielmn area of - about 11,900 square yards could be Trovided fit,- their use ; and it was proposed also 'to 'fare, With als practicable despatch, at and to the -north of' the land east of the Auskisson-dock, an area about aril to the'att - a to be taker away from the trade.. Mr. Rankin moved Ant' thertizteeediaggta confirmed. The Chairman stdtea Alrit 'l3tighill and himtdf waited upon the water tomMittee last Moiiday in reference to the supply of the fountains, but in consequence of the council being then -itting, rtin nYeeting of the eoratiittee was postponed for'u eek. 'ke'did not know, laokkg at the temper in WhiCh the tnitter - Was received by the-council on Monday, whether it "Wrald be adiisable to-parene the thing any further. He felt amidst intlined to rectmmend that the BeardAtould'contult their own dignity by telling the council that they - would 'pay 'for the -water they required. He vas'satiSfied himself' that there 'Wes a very erroneous impresSion 'on' the minds ofsome of themembers of the water committee, and amcitiglitt rest of the chairman, to the effect 'that•the'toCk tosid wanted the water for dock purposes. 'lt "Was not - 'reqiired 'them for dock purposes, but Tor public purposes. An argumett was made use of by the 'Chairman of the "water coirtroltee, that the fountains'supplied the Wan, with . water' were them selves supplied . at the expense of the 'heath committee. But as thesettwdbtiairs.were alike part' and' - parcel of the council, it 'was only %plifting the money out of one pocket into another. If therwohld oily supply Ite dock board upon the same terms, he shOuldvoe very glad. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) :The dock' beard did' not' aspect the cor poration to supply' them•with . waterin their enclosed docks —such as the Albett. 7 dockaPall. Mr. Farnworth -said 'there seemed to be considerable difference , of oPitian in the'vrbler committee as to what the dock board were -really - a-sioing . for. 'fie had been told distinctly by several meMbers of the water committee that they understood the Ddcklioard to require the water for the use eft the driek - workmen; and they stated distinctly that they eagultlnot , supply'them . gratuituirsly. He had no doubt that if the deputation Wreited upon the 'committee, and put the inatrterinia;ightlight4tl.ll objection-would be removed. _ _ Mr. M Iver did not -see' why - the 'Board should supply water to the -public at all. It was. a , charitable act upon the part of theloard' ti:P put up the' fountains, but he did not see why they should pay continuously for the supply of water. lle thought it-was for the town council to do so. Mr. Anderson thought many persons looked at the ques tion in a wrong iight•when they regarded the Dock Board merely as a.prirate body; -en d not as a public trust. It was filially agreed that the' deputation should wait upon the we.ter comMittee next Mondfiy. - Mr. Boult'begged-leave to put • a , question, of which he had given notice, with regard to low water basin at Birkenhead. One of the , leading features of the Birkenhead docks was & large low ,, wi.ter basin of fourteen acres, to con tain a floating landing-stage, and to be excavated to some fabulous depth,-so that-ships might enter at all times, which was a very !fine scheme to lay before a parliamentary com mittee, or to pour into the ear of a fdendly president of the Board of Trade. Bat the value of-the basin depended en tirely upon their being able to Maintain a sufficient depth of water. And he believed 'their. engineer made no secret of his opitiimr that;it-would be found impracticable to keep the basin ppen--i-in fact that it' would silt up. The Chairman Chairman thoughrMr:Boitit was going a little too far in making these statements. (Hear.) The engineer had not given any Kroh opinion as Mr. Boult was expressing to the corsinittee•of ., works. This was a very important question, more important perhaps than Mr. Boult was aware of, and required•to 'be dealt .With very carefully. There ought to be no statements , made which were not borne out by facts. Mr. Boult s aidheitad•not.tnade any statement which was not borne out . by facts. If beLhad stated anything of the kind he should , be very sorry. .The engineer was present, and could correct;him if he-was Ivrong. Mr. Shand objected •to • any discussion of the question as to the low water basin. The committee were bound by an Act of Parliaroentto.execute certain works. He suggested that Mr. Boult should 'cGtrfine himself to putting the ques tion of which 'he :had given ndtice, and. which he had no doubt the chairman , could very.easily answer. Mr. Boult then put the -question, which was—whether the attention of thocomniitteelad been directed to the pos sibility of converting the large - low water basin at Birken head into a dock, 'With the view , of avoiding the expense of sluices. &c.; and 'whether anr•communication had been made to the railway , companies upon +the subject. The Chairman said 'the ,committee had never contem plated, nor in his judgment and 'belief would they contem plate, any deviation whatever from the plan of the Birkenhead dock works prescribed to them by the existing act.. If the parties 'w'ho were-instrumentabin 'obtaining the enactment with reference 'to that particular portion should, from becoming doubtful of its expediency, or from any other cause become desirous of the change, any proposition coming from them wo u ld of course receive the attentive consideration of the committee. (Hear, hear.) But the committee had only the one intention, namely, to carry out the present authorised plan in its integrity. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Boult asked whether, provided that the Board car ried out the Act of Patiliament, and.nxecuted that part of the plan as they were bound by law, would they be obliged afterwards to expend one farthing•upon• that basin, unless they saw fit ? Supposingitshould and should silt up, as many apprehended, besides the engineer,, could any parties then compel them to expend any mouey upon it ? The Chairman : I thinktbe Board .Will-consider with me, that it is very undesirable to enter into any discussions :upon suppositious questions. (Near, hear.) The proceedings were confirmed. WAREHM;SE .00ASZOVIT1'EE Mr. aubbaelt moved the confirmation of the proceeeings. Mr. Lockett asked whether the warehouses of the estate were.all full. Mr. limhback said they were not quite , fuil, but they expected tae Stanley dock warehouzes would he full next week. The Albert dock warehouses were rthree•fourtbs full. The proceedings were confirmed. MARINE COMMITTDE, The committee had had under their consideration the subject of the management of the badge porters, and resolved to recommend to the Board that the control and management of these ,porters on the landing-stages and pier-heads should not be assumed by the 'Board, the committee being of opinion, thatsuch a duty being closely connected with the police of the 'town, could be more conveniently and efficiently dis charged by the watch committee. The letter written by Mr. Bancroft, with regard to the olive oil supplied to the lighthemses, had also been considered, and the committee were of opinion that, as the statement of Mr. Bancroft, that the oil was not refined, was at variance with that of Mr. Hewson, analytical chemist, and others, the board could take no further steps in the matter, unless Mr. Bancroft furnished independent proof in support GI his assertion. Mr. Inman moved the confiryeation of the proceedings. Mr. Anderson said, he was glad to hear that the watch committee were again about to &same the management of the badge porters. Mr. Inman said, the committee hall received no official intimation as yet that the watch comre;ttee would under take the management. The Chairman said, it would be a very say` Ci.ctory solution of the question, if the watch committee did take the manage ment of the porters into their own hands. (Hear, hear.) The proceedings were confirmed. The proceedings of the docks and quays, piletafce, and master concluded the general business, HEALTH CONMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of this Committe,e was held, yesterday, in the Town Hall, Mr. Robertson G'iadstone pre siding ; and there were also present Mess ts. Beckwith, Avison, Heydock, Stitt, and Crellin. The borough engineer, building surveyor., and inspector of nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 52 nuisances had been. inspected, and means taken to remedy them ; 947 houses, in 'the un heahhiest districts, containing. 3,005 apartments, and 547 cenars, had been put under examination, with the view of improving their sanitary condition, and 112 /edging-houses qiad also been examined and reported upon-. The Chairman said, complaints bad been made in refer ence to 'the state of the pavement in the 'neighbourhood (Jf the docks. A complaint was made 'by Mr. James Strong fellow, d Chatham-street, in - reference to a nuisance ecist ing on - a piece of land adjoining that street. Three holes had been found there, in which was etenoiited about a cart load Of stable mannre. Children also assembled there to play, -and created a great 'noise, solnuch sons to annoy the neighbourhood. Carts 'were alsa put upen the land Itt &c. The land was the property of Mr. Riding. aria the complainant had applied to him, 'brut without effect. The committee had ne 'power to put 'up . a fence, but valid deal with a nuisance if founil'on the ground. The portion laving reference to 'tie children was - reerred to the watch rcommittee. A letter was read from Mr.,Tames'llebbs, Old "Haymarket, complaining of a imisance wising from a suffocating vapour from the foundry- TV Messrs,. Bankine. It was rtfarred to Dr. Duncan The medical , dlScer 'health 'reported that, in .the first 'week of Tray, the deathslregisteredin Liverpool were 191; of which 126 were in the parish and 63 in the out town ships, showing a decrease of 28 'us compared with the cor rected average .ef the same week Of the preceding nine years. In this calc.tilstion rthe mortality of St. George's district (comprising iCastle-street andl3t..Petees Ward) has been assumed to be the same as in• the previous week, no return having been weceivedironitthis , 'district, in consequence of a vacemcy inthe office of Itegistrar. The deaths from diseases of the lungs end those' fronyzymotic diseases were the same member, triz. 46. )f the letter, 16 were From diarrhoea (14 being infants), 'beiides one from dysentery and one from elwolera. Hoopinr, cough -caused 8 deaths, fever 7, scarletina 4, measles '3, -small-nox (unvaccinated) 1, diphtheria 1, syphilis 1, purpuria 1. A-sailor, aged 55, died from exces sive drinking. The :mean tersperature was '65 1-5 degrees, nearly four degrees above the average. The rainfall was ' about one-fourth , of an inch. During the , qnarter •ending the 2ntl -July, 2,802 deaths were registered in Liverpool, incltiding 191 sudden and violent deaths, and deaths-in hospitals not comprised in the weekly returns. The mortality of. the quarter was 430 below the corrected average of the „corresponding period of the eleven years preceding. The deaths from Zymotic diseases were 555, being JBO less than the average of the same quarter of previous years, and . 265 less than in the quarter immediately preceding. Prom typhns, &c., the deaths were 149, against 1.46 in the previous quarter; diarrhoea 63, against 48. The other principal diseases of this class show a decrease. The mortality from hooping cough was 128 in the last, and 190 in the previous quarter ; scarlatina 63, and 187 ; measles /6, and 83 ; troop 24, and 44 ; diphtheria 19, and 20 ; small-pox 11, and 39 ; syphilis was fatal in 13 eases.; purpuria - 3,; carbuncle 2 ; scurvey 1; chicken-pox 1; mumps 1.; diseases of the lungs caused 841 deaths, about 50 less than the corrected average. More than one-half the number were from consumption. The fatal case of small-pox last week was that of a child who died on the 6th inst, at 6 court, Hughes-street, Toxteth park, and with regard to this case the medical attendant certifies as follows. If Bernard Curver had been properly attended to in time, he would have ,recovered. It. would appear under the present arrangements in Toxteth Park it was out of the power of the parents to procure the necessary attention ; consequently the child's life was sacrificed to the new economical mode of relief. It was resolved that a copy of this report be furnished to the guardians of the district, and also .to the coroner. Mr. Stitt said, he was sorry that the borough engineer was not present, as he intended to ask a question as to the result of the communications with the Mersey board, in re ference to the outlet sewers. He had spoken to a very influential member of the board en the subject, and was told the board had asked the advice of their legal advisers on the subject, and they were informed that they were not The board, therefore, refused to ‘do anything, in consequence of, their non-liability. He had earefully read over the sanitary act of 1847. In the .71st clause of that act the board were bound to make sufficient outlet sewers through their own property for the wants of the corporation, and the corporation had the power of carrying their drains into those of the board though they could not interfere as to how they were to be made, as was stated in clause 62 B, which said they were to make the drains as they thought .fit. He said, these drains, however, were to be effectual. They were to con struct their own drains, but they were to be effectual. But the board thought they were not liable, and that was the reason why the present intolerable nuisance existed at St. George's and Prince's docks. It seemed to him, .if the Mersey; Dock Board disputed their liability, the best course would -be to submit the act to council and see what was the real meaning of the act. Clause 72 provided that, if a questioaas to capacity or sufficiency should arise as to those drains, it should be referred to arbitrators. But they could not could mot call in arbitrators so long -as the board said they were 'not liable This matter had been under con sideration -ever since he had been a member of that com mittee ; and the population on the other side of the water were increasing so fast, and on their coming over here, were exposed to this ,nuisance, that he thought it would be well if the matter could be settled at once, or as soon as possible. Mr. M‘Gowan said, Mr. Stitt had explained the meaning of the act, exaetly as he took it to be. He understood from a statement made by Mr. Newlands some time ago, that he and Mr. Hartley had almost come to a conclusion on the matter. As Mr. Avison 'was a member of the paa•liamentary committee, the matter was left in his hands. He -said he would call on the , deputation to ask them to report on the subject. The Chairman said , he wished to mention, as a thing for future consideration, in reference to the act for dealing with prenCses built in an insufficient manner. He wished it to be considered, as to whether in case of their having build' ings in existence that were dangerous—which they had-- whether they could Rot apply to 'the government to give them powers retrospective, as well as -prospective. Mr. M'Gowan said, he thought that rawer could not be granted, ant if it were, he thought, in case of litigation, ttlere mightrbe difficulty. This was ail the business. JOCRNALISTIC MATTERS.—The past week Us been marked by the sale of two well-known periodicals. The London Journal, Which by no means continued its previous course of prosperity In the hands of its late proprietary, has gone back to its old owner, Mr. Stiffe, as has indeed been already publicly announced, on terms which, it is rumoured, contrast somewhat with those on which the last sale wan made. This would of course dissolve the injunction against the appearance of the Londosi .Daily Journal, but I believe that there is no present intention to resuscitate the interest mg patient, which expired so suddenly after a three d a y s ' life : It did not tha, The other is the Welcome Guest, , which has, we h ear , passed from Irr. Vizetelly to Mr. Maxwell, wh o is , I believe an advertising agent, and was for a short tine oils of the proprietors of the Morning Herald, after its sale under the bankruptcy of )f r, Baldwin. THE NORTHERN TIMES PRIMA, JULY 15, 18 5 9 TOXTETH P ARIC BOARD of GUARDIANS This board 'acid its usual weekly meeting at the publi c .offices, Park-road, yesterday, Mr. Joseph Harrison presid ing. Them: were also present—Messrs: John' Wilson, Joseph W 4 :lson, Henry Leyland, William Baynes, J. D. Carter, Q W. Hunter, John Moss, William Wainwright, Arthur Grindrod, J. B. Hughes, and J. Brrindritt Mr. Gough, governor of the West Derby Workhouse, reported that there were in that establishment, last week, 34E.; this wsek, 552 ; corresponding week last year, 3671 paupers belonging to the Park. Cheques were drawn to the amount of 196, for 'the rolief of out-door paupers. The Clerk read a letter 'from the. Lord Bishop of the Diocese, approving of the appointmer't of 'the 'Rev. 3'. D - ankley as chaplain for the new workhouse. statement was read from the various dispensaries, stating that they would continue to dispense'reedicines at 'the following considerations annuallf :—Mr. Thighes, £75 ; Mr. Day, £75 ; Mr. 'Cross, £75 ; and Mr. Rddler, £6O, being an advance of about £4O a year to the sum usually paid. After a lengthened speech in favour of the dispensaries above-named, Mr. Moss moved that the O'er be accepted, with the understanding that the sums mentioned include all appliances, such as leeches, splints, bandages, &c.. excepting trusses. Mr. Hunter seconded the motion. Mr. John Wilson said, he thought 'the four dispensers had been paid well enough, without seeking for an advance ; and he would move, as an amendment, that the case be thrown open for public competition. Mr. Wainwright seconded the amendment. Some . farthsr observations were made, when the amend ment was put and carried. Mr. Moss read a letter from Mr. James Smith, of the overseer's office, Everton, complaining that the ages of the master and matron were fixed by the guardians at from thirty to fifty, and from twenty-five to fifty, thereby pre eluding himself and his wife from applying. The Chairman said, if Mr. Moss wished to make a motion on the matter it would require a week's notice• This Mr. Moss declined to do. Mr. Hughes, in moving the proceedings of the building and visiting committee said, they were not satisfied with the way the contractors were proceeding, as he thought they should go on much faster, and knew from a statement by Mr. Kulshaw that he was not satisfied. Mr. Baynes seconded the motion for the confirmation of the committees proceedings. Mr. John Wilson said, in accordance with the notice given by him last week, he had to move that the whole board be put on the building and visiting committee. Mr. Carter seconded the motion. Mr. Hughes said, he wished to move an amendment to Mr. Wilson's motion, as he considered it nothing short of a vote of censure to the present committee; and he, for one, would say that they had done their duty, and done it well. It was a most unusual thing to have a whole board on com mittee. They had a good architect, a good clerk of the works, there had nothing gone wrong in the building, and he could not see the use of putting the whole board on the committee, as they would do nothing but put every thing wrong by their contentions. They had the proceedings brought before them for confirmation every week, and if they did not agree with them they could refer them back or move an amendment. There was one gentleman he would like to see on the com mittee, and that was Mr. Alexander Miller, who had taken a great deal of trouble, and from his,practical knowledge, given them much valuable information. His amendment was, " that the committee remain as it was with the addition of Mr. Miller." Mr. Bundritt seconded Mr. Hughes's amendment. Mr. Moss said, as far as he was individually con cerned, be did not care whether he made one of the committee or not ; but he could not sit still to hear Mr. Hughes—a gentleman who seemed to be full of all confidence, and he was nearly saying self satisfaction. He never saw a man that had more libe rality on his tongue and lies in his heart. He went on to refer to the last committee being found in the minority, and thought it very unjust to displace them without fault of any kind. He would support Mr. Wilson's motion, and he might say Mr. Hughes had added insult to injury by picking out one gentleman in an invidious way, as more qualified than the others, to be a member of the committee. The amendment was put, and carried by the casting vote of the chairman. The board then separated, Mr. Moss grumbling about injustice. LIVERPOOL POLICE LVTELLIGENCE —Yesterday, BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. THE KNlFE.—Martin Cannon, a porter, was charged by John Furgen with having stabbed him. The parties were engaged about the market, when some dispute arose between them about carrying some potatoes, when the prisoner struck complainant two blows on the forehead with a knife. A surgeon proved that there were two wounds on the man's head—one lacerated, the other incised, and the latter was a dangerous wound, cutting through the eyebrow to the bone. The prisoner was sent for trial at the assizes. AN OFFICER WITH AN " EDD."—Police-officer 186 brought up George Brooks, of 27, Great Homer-street, on the followinc , charge :—The constable said he saw the prisoner engaged m a wrangle with a woman, when he interfered, and then the prisoner struck him two blows under the jaw. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner, and cross-examined the witness, who said he was in plain clothes. The officer got into a passion, and when Mr. Cobb put questions to him he said ' sir ? " so the questions had to be repeated several times, and at last Mr. Cobb made a remark which caused the officer to say, " Oh, I have an edd as well as you. Mr. Cobb : A what ? An edd ! Mr. Cobb : Oh, a head, have you ? Yes, I have an edd. Mr, Cobb : So has a pin ; but I don't think there is as much in yours as in the head of a corker-pin, and if you have an edd, you don't appear to have any ears. The explanation he gave on behalf of the prisoner was as follows :—The prisoner, on his return, at twelve at night, found the.back door open, and a woman at it. She ran away, followed by the prisoner, when the policeman and some one else stopped him. The officer was in plain clothes, and there was no doubt it was a mistake on both sides. His Worship, taking the same view of the case, discharged the prisoner. Detective-officer Scott brought up two females, one the cook, the other the kitchenmaid, at Mr. Wilson's dining rooms, Union-court, Castle-street, on a charge of having plundered him to a large extent. It appeared that the prisoners had great confidence placed in them by Mr. Wilson, and that they abused it by stealing meat, eggs, pork, &c. They were sent to jail for seven days. CHARGE OF MURDER.—John M'lntyre, a sailor on board one of Messrs. Tobin's ships, called the Faith; was brought, up on a charge of having killed another sailor, named John Maxwell, at New Calabar, in Africa. Mr. Black was for the prisoner. In consequence of the drunkenness of some of the witnesses who are to be produced, the prisoner was re manded to this day. Mary Derbyslure was sent to jail for three months, for having stolen £36 from her father, William Gee, a skip wrigiri, living in Mason-street, Wapping. Thomas Ashton was fined £5 for having driven an omnibus, with three horses, to the races, when he was only lieensed to drive two horses. Mr. Bluck defended. LORD BROVGIE AM presided at a meeting held on Wednes day night, for the purpose of considering the present state of the slave trade. A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—Gn Sunday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, a gentleman was crossing a field near Cheetham-hill road, occupied by the Cheetham-hill Cricket Club, he noticed a cow approaching him, apparently with no good intention, upon which he raised his stick,, - but the beast, as if more infuriated by the show of resistance, rushed at him. He struggled to defend himself, but the animal got him down upon the ground, and in its endeavour to gore him pressed its horns into the earth, his body, fortu nately, being between them. He was held in that position until two gentlemen came with sticks and compelled it to retreat. Another person had previously been attacked by the same sow, and the owner is likely to incur some e.atious responsibility should an accident happen through his &tyre nseePt to keep it out of middies —fiftinthpiter Examin#,. MONETARY. AND COMMERCIAL. - 141vERPooL, ThaTsde Evening. Theftne of th e Liverpool Cotton Market has been firm to-day, an• a good business has been done, the sales reaching 10,000 bales at the full prices of yesterday. - The Liv'arpool Share Market has been rather active, and - prices have been well sustained. In the. 'London Stock Market, Consols opened weaker, but improved after reduction of Bank Rate; prices, however, closed flatter. Railways sym pathised with Consols.

An instalment of 25 per cent., leaving 25 per cent. still to be paid, falls due on the Indian Loan on Friday next; but the payments in advance have been very large. The holders of the Austrian Loan, the issue of which in February last was but very partially successful, having appealed some weeks ago to the Austrian government to relieve them from the obligation of paying the remaining 40 per cent., an answer has, it is stated, been received from Vienna that their request shall be complied with, provided the Loan be admitted into the London Stock Exchange. An application in this sense from the parties interested came before the committee of the establishment yesterday, and was rejected, the com mittee apparently seeing no valid reason for the revocation of their original decision, and prObablv requiring additional information as to the amount of the Loan issued here, and other points. It is understood that the subscribers, under these circum stances, now remit their appeal back to Vienna. An instalment of 20 per cent., leaving two of 10 per cent. each still to be met, falls due on Friday next. The increase of 489,6591. in the government seaurities in the last Bank return has attracted a good deal of attention, and is presumed to have been occasioned by an advance to government on Deficiency Bills, in anticipation of the payment of the dividends, Nothing of importance occurred in Bullion at the Bank yesterday. The steamer Yarborough has reached the Thames from St. Petersburgh with 40,0001. in gold, which has been purchased for expor tation, in addition to the residue of Tuesday's supply. The Lucien: is expected in two or three days with a further sum of 40,0001. in Russian half imperials. _ _ _ . The fortnightly settlement in British Railway Stocks commenced. yesterday (" making-up day"), and indicates that the rapid rise in prices has not yet occasioned any material addition to the floating supply of stock. The rates of " continuation" in all instances were light. The Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Com pany have instructed Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co. to manufacture a strong submarine cable of sixty miles in length, with one wire, at a cost of 12,0001., for the service between Malta and Sicily. It will probably be laid in the first week of September. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,4751., the London and South Western an increase of 1,2251., the Great Northern a decrease of 7381., and the Great Western an increase of 3,5341. An auction of the foreign redeemable debt of Spain is to take place at Madrid on the 29th instant. the sum assigned by the government being 375,000 reals. The government of the Cape of Good Hope invite tenders for six per cent. debentures to the extent of 80,000, redeemable at six months' notice. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company in vite tenders for the completion of the works of the Bhore Ghaut incline, situate 60 miles from Bombay, at the end of the portion of the section of the South Eastern line in the Concan, which is open for public traffic. Another petition—whether a serious one remains to be seen—for the winding-up of the Metropolitan Saloon Omnibus Company (limited) is expected to be heard in the Court of Bankruptcy on the 21st inst. Vice-Chancellor Wood, who is charged with the winding-up of the Sheerness Well or Waterworks Company, proposes, on the 22nd instant, to make a call of 161. per share on the contributors. An extraordinary meeting of the European Gas Company is called for the 27th inst., to confirm the resolution adopted on the 29th ult , altering the deed of settlement, and to authorise the registration of the company with limited liability. The position of the market for American railway securities is thus noticed by Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite : "We have had a good market for American securities in London during the past week. The various States' Bonds usually dealt in have been freely taken at late rates. In railroad securities, the chief demand has been for Illinoi s Central shares and bonds ; the former have advanced 6 per cent. : the latter 2 per cent." The Menam has arrived from China with 534,0001bs of tea. The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 15th inst. for the conveyance of 162 tons of naval stores from the Thames to Ascension, and 143 tons of army salt meat to Malta ; also stores to Algoa Bay, East London, Gibraltar, Trincomalee, Cape Town, and Quebec. At the public sales of Indigo yesterday, rather higher rates_ have been current, and considerable animation took place in the biddings for some partic ular qualities. Messrs. Layton, Hulbert, and Co., state : " The announcement of the termination of the war has had a marked influence upon the sale. Holders have withdrawn some considerable parcels, and• the buyers have contested with great spirit for those marks which were sold, and more especially for those to which no support was given by buying in. 1,441 chests passed this morning, of which 579 are sold, 180 bought in, and 682 withdrawn. In two days 1,226 chests are sold, 316 bought in, 1,286 withdrawn, 2,827 passed, 8,873 remain ; total, 11,700 declared." The transparent compromise by which the Italian difficulty has been settled, is regarded with almost a general feeling of distrust. The conclusion of peace, however, and the cessation of bloodshed, have caused a further important rise in most classes of public securities. The upward movement of the English Funds, nevertheless, received a check to-day, having at length attracted a moderate supply of stock. After several variations, Consols closed -I- percent. below yes terday. The partial reaction in the Funds did not ex tend to other securities. Great animation continued to prevail up to the close of the Stock Exchange, all the markets leaving off very firm. Extreme ease con tinues to prevail in the Discount Market. The best bills are readily taken in Lombard-street at 21 per cent. It is believed that at the weekly court to-morrow (Thursday) the Directors will reduce their minimum to 21 per cent. Extreme buoyancy prevails in all th e C ont i nental markets. Austrian securities have risen to 4 per cent. at Amsterdam since Monday. N o thi ng of importance occurred in bullion at the Bank to-day. U n derwriters still require the inse r ti on o f the fre e - o f- c apture clause in policies of insurance. Some anxiety is felt for the safety of the steamer Adelaide, which had not reached Newfoundla n d at the date of the last advices, although seventeen days out from Galway. At Lloyds, to-day, insurances were effected at _four guineas per cent., the usual rate being abou . t las.— Daily New s Ci ty Article, Wednesday 4'ventng. In proportion as the terms of the treaty of the two Emperors com es to be considered, t h ere is a disposi tion on the part of the public to take advantage of its first eff ec t, and numerous realisations were consequently pressed to-day. Consols hay, to-eay touched the price w bt e li i)py stood bagye the wet commenced, but the settlement just concluded dots not furnish a single new guarantee fair the - progress of commerce, c tvilisation, or constitutional government on the /continent of Europe, and operates with the force or checking the extraordinary buoyancy with which business com menced. The unlimited supply of money, however. makes itself felt, the moment there is any tendency to reaction from other causes.. Little doubt appears to be entertained that at the weekly court, to morrow, the Bank rate of discount will be lowered to 21 per cent. The Share Markets have again improved. English Railway Stocks closed Ito 21 per cent. higher, Great Northern, Caledonian, South Eastern, and Berwicks showing the principal advance.—Times City Article, Wednesday Evening. The Silk market yesterday was very active, and rather excited. In China descriptions a rise of is per lb took place. The market for other descrip tions of produce retains the firmer appearance lately noticed. In the wheat market yesterday sales were effected with difficulty at the reduction of 3s to 5s per quarter established on Monday. The effect of the peace news upon the Indigo Sales has been to raise prices 3d to 4d per lb. The price of tin yesterday further , advanced £4 per ton. At the ironmasters' quarterly meeting, on Wednes- Iday, at Wolverhampton, the termination of the war was considered as likely to give new life to business. According to a circular of Mr. Samuel Mendel, the cessation of hostilities produced excitement in the 1 Manchester markets.

IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING On Wednesday, the first of the current series of iron masters' quarterly meetings, was held in St. George's Hall, Wolverhampton, Philip Williams, Esq., the chairman of the Ironmaster's Association, presiding. There was a good ilittendance of masters, and the prices recommended at the kr*coinary meeting, a fortnight ago, were unanimously accepted; These are in the proportion of L 7 10s for bars. A much more favourable state of things exists than. Pr e " vailed at the preliminary meeting. The change is due to the peace news received. On every hand there 05 , enunciated a confident expectation that the tri ce would assume a condition of prosperity that has not cha' raeterised it• for some time past. In fact, pig iron 1 335 been quoted at from 2s 6d to 7s 6d a ton advance upon last week's prices ; and certain makers of best bran (l4 refused to d e li ver t w i ce th e qua ntity for wili c, they accepted o r d ers a t th e p re li minar y meeting, even a" 2s 6d per ton advance upon the additional quantity required.
