The weather had been genial throughout the island of JaMaica. Fever prevailed in some districts. In commercial matters, the transactions of the fortnight had been tolerably fair. There Was no. speculative movement, to notice, the. princi pal operations having been made' to meet demands for consumption. The chief exception had been 4.4 flour, in which some sales for export. had •been made. Freights were dull, and there was little chance of vessels for European markets being laden before March or April.

The yield of juice from the canes was good, and the saccharometer showed a higher de gree of sweetness than is usual at the commence ment of the season. The supply of labour seemed to be nearly up to immediate wants. Three. more vessels had arrived with Indian immigrants —two from Madras and one from Calcutta. Breadstuff and provisions were dull.. . The imports continued in excess of demand. At Demerara the Court of Policy had a sitting on the 22nd ult., at which the affairs of the Demerara Railway Company came under con sideration. A long discussion took place, and a - strin g of resolutions was adopted which converts the Ordinance, No. 14, of 1838, into a dead letter. The Royal Gazette says :—" It is now a, pure matter of speculation what steps the company will adopt in this. extremity ; the affairs of the theprosperous; Plant and rolling stock require renewing, 1 1 , 11( iPlanters complain of high fares.

The cor 42Pondence with her Majesty's Government will aid before you, and I cannot doubt that you volt vo „...reeognise a selection made by her Majesty at Was' own request, and that you will duly acknow ee her gracious compliance with the addresses t o l e.? you yourselves caused to be presented th her. In regard to the federation . of D e British province, he says—The possibility of by some tie the federal character, the s ubject colonies in North America has formed the . Ilhiect of correspondence which will be placed in Your hands. I will also cause to be submitted to despatches from her Majesty's Secretary of H udson's in relation to the questions effecting the -U l ll4°ll ' B Bay Company, and on the subject of e inter -colonial railway. In reference to financial affairs he says : It is gratifying 07. me to be able to state that symptoms a ', amendment have begun to show them v,rves ; and I trust that, should. Providence "loss Canada, this year with ho] usually abundant harvest, she will recover her former prosperous condition. The exercise -of a sound and rigid economy in every department of the public service, will, I hope, again enable us to brim our whole expenditures within the limits required by our revenue.

Mr. Wilkinson, late member for Lambeth, is mentioned, as well as others, but, with no definite Tesult. - COMMERCIAL A favourable impression was produced in the Stock Exchange this morning, by the Indian financial state ments. The funds opened with decided firmness, and an advance -of about a quarter percent. would probably have been supported but for the receipt of news of a considerable fall in the Paris Bourse. The closing quotations were barely a quarter per cent. above those of yesterday. .1n the other departments of the Stock Exchange firmness prevailed, and the general tendency was favourable 'Complaints of the prejudice inflicted upon business by 'the prevailing political suspense are becoming general. The immediate effect is to increase the glut of money. First class bills were taken at 2to 24- per cent. About £BO,OOO in Australian gold was sent into the bank. , At Paris, the' 3 per cent. rates have fallen Ito per cent. Tho,surn of £60,000 in, Russian gold daily•effected, has already been sold for the Conti nent. The specie by the West- India steamer includes £163,000 in silver, and £15,300 in gold. The £58,000 by the Avon, is undersood to consist principally of sove reigns, which will be taken to the bank. The Foreign Exchanges this afternoon were firm.—• ' Daily -New's City 4rtie'le, Tuesday Eveiting. The English Funds oiened this morning at'ah advance of k, -and showed steadiness throughout the day—an adverse change which has taken place on the Paris Bourse not being generally known until after regular hours. At the Bank the demand for discount was very moderate; and in the open market best paper has been _freely negociated. at 2 per cent. In the Stock. Exchange,• on Government securities 1-per cent. is the utmost that can be obtained. The new Austrian loin, after receding to tdisconnt,, left off at to' discount. On the Paris Bourse, to-day, the closing quotations of the Three .per, Cents. show a relapse of nearly 4 per' cent. 'The fall is attributable to a variety of disquieting rumours. In the Foreign Exchanges, .this afternoon, there has been an advance in the rates on Vienna and Trieste. 7 —Times City Article, Tuesday Evening. The Morning Herald says, the resources of the-discount companies,. and the private brokers are increasing, owing to . ..supplies being received, from the Provinces for employ ment. This is especially the case with reference to, Man, .chester and Liverpool, whence the amount of deposits has increased .the last few days. FRANCE The newspapers'of Marseilles have been invited to publish nothing relative to the armaments. Tlie musketry practice, which does not usually begin, till May, is to commence, forthwith in the army of Lyons. ---.7 A letter from Algiers states that the Com mander-inXhief has received instructions for the formation of a secondary division, in case . of war with Austria being decided, The Paris correspondent of the _Herald asserts that the same state .of uncertainty and alarm con tinues to prevail at Paris, and that military pre parations continue on both sides of the Alps. The Siecle .of Monday has another warlike article. It says, when an exhausted nation, rife for liberty, holds out her hand to France, it is the right and the duty of France to assist her,—at first by diplomatic means, and in default by arms. AUSTRIA According to a careful estimate in a French military journal, the military strength of Austria, in time of peace, is represented by 400,000 men; and in time of war by 750,000 men. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES The - Journal des Debats remarks on the ominous rapidity with which difficulty succeeds difficulty in the Danubian regions, and says that a revival of the Servian: question appears inevitable, as there is a limit even to the forbearance of the Porte.

COUNT CAVOUR ON THE GOVERNMENT OF IRELAND Count Cavour's recent allusion to the excellent manner in which Ireland is governed, induces the Gazette de France to exclaim, that the unhappy Irish, in their deep distress, would consider Austrian rule, in spite of its harshness, a decided improvement on that of England. HAYTI The republicans in Hayti have been successful. They have saved the life of the Emperor, and arranged that he should go to Jamaica. THE lONIANS The Times accuses Mr. Gladstone of truckling- to sedi tion, and trusts her Majesty will give no sanction to his schemes.

THE PARIS CONFERENCE. —In diplomatic circles it is generally credited that the representatives of the Great Powers will shortly meet at Paris to decide upon the question which has been raised with respect to the con stitution of the Danubian Principalities, on account of the double election of Hospodar. It is understood that chambers of commerce have resolved upon sending competent agents to India, to examine and report upon various matters relative to the growth of cotton. They are to ascertain what commer cial difficulties have to be removed, or facilities to be discovered ; and to act for their principals as circumstances may require. MAIL NEWS.—The Parana brings advices from Valpa raiso :—A rise in the price of copper had alleviated the previous stagnation of trade. The West Indian mail brings £187,000 in gold and silver. At Jamaica freights were dull, and there was little chance of vessels for Euro pean markets being laden before March or April.

It would appear that they were seamen on board the ship May Queen. On the 19th of Jaunary . the ship was lying in the river, and • the prisoner and the injured, man quarrelled. Hughes drew his knife and inflicted several severe wounds. Roberts was taken to the SOuthern. Hospital, and was carefully attended to. • Mr. Wall, house surgeon, attended before the Birkenhead Magistrates yesterday, and gave evidence as to the injuries Roberts had received. He was stabbed in - the back of the neck and on the shoulder. The prisoner was committed for trial at the Chester Assizes, on a charge of unlawfully wounding. CORONER'S INQUESTS. — The coroner held the follow ing inquests .yesterday.

The verdict was casually killed by a blow on the head. THE BIRKENHEAD ,ELECTION. — YesterdaY, the only topic. of conversation in Birkenhead was that of the election of a commissioner in the room of Mr..Eddowes. From what we learn, very considerable betting, hastaken plate as to who will be returned. On Monday evening a deputation from the supporters of Mr. Hughes, who is one of the " Red List," waited upon Mr. Gough, and requested that he should withdraw from the contest, and allow Mr. Robert Hughes to be returned without opposi tion, the deputation becoming bound to exert themselves for Mr. Gough, at the next election iu June. Feeling that such a proposal would be compromising his own indepen ' deuce, as well as hurtful to.the feelings and expressed wishes of numerous ratepayers, Mr. Gouglirejected the offer, pre ferring to rely on the electors returning him now as their representative. We have heard that there is likely to be a compromise, and that after all, Mr. Hughes will retire. It would seem that Mr. Gough and Mr. Hughes are old friends, and that the opposition was got up owing to some misunderstanding, which has since been mutually ex plained. If there is to be a contest, the polling will commence to-day (Wednesday), at, ten o'clock, and con tinue until four o'clock, p.m. PLASTERERS' MEETING.-Yesterday evening, a meeting of the pla-terers of Liverpool was held in tie Pontack - Inn, Christian-street. Mr. John Hill, one of the trade, occupied the chair, who mentioned the good which would result to all members of the society, compared with those who were not joined in the society. The secretary stated, that during the last 65 weeks, the society had bestowed for accidents £4O 4s, and for funerals £3O 18 , s —the mem- , tiers being required to pay only at the rate of 3d per week,' in order to secure the benefits of the society, at the rate of 12s per week in case of accident. Mr. M'Canri moved, and Mr. George Persan seconded, " That the standard wages paid to the plasterers be no less than 26s per week ; to commence work at six o'clock in the morn me., and cease work at six o'clock in the evening, so long as day light may permit, and be allowed half an hour for breakfast, and one hour for dinner, for nine months in the year, and for the 'remaining three months to commence work as seven o'clock, and cease work at five o'olock in the evening, during which time the same meal hours will be allowed, and to cease work on every Saturday evening .' during the year at four o'clock." Mr. Richard Easton moved, and Mr. John Gallagher seconded, a resolution to the effect that certain boundaries should be set apart for men to be Considered on their employer's work in pro ceeding to a job at six o'clock. Al! jobs that were beyond four mileS from the Exchange ' the man's lodgings to be paid, or time allowed to walk home, at the rate of three miles an hour. Another resolution passed, was—" That • all jobs that are over four miles or under eight from town, expenses be allowed for coming home once a week, and if the distance exceed eight miles, expenses be allowed once a fortnight, once a month over twelve, and once in the three months over twenty." Another resolution was, " That all piece-work be prohibited, and lathing done by plasterers." This was the only. business brought before the meeting, and the chairman annonnced their intention of giving the resolutions and rules of the society to the masters on the Ist of March. The meeting then sep . arated. THE VOYAGE THE STEAMER NORTH AMERICAN TO PORTLAND. — The late fearful yassacre of this' steamer from Liverpool to Portland, L rated States, with 140 seals, is thus graphically described by one of the passen gers :—" We left the Mersey on December 22nd, during a severe gale of wind froin the south-cast ; and such was the state of the weather, that it was Annul impossible for the pilot to leave, so he was carried across the Atlantic. At seven p.m. on the Ist of. January, the cap tain had 7.9g!1tQ1.i that we Ingst 13.,Q very near Cape Race, THE NORTHERN TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY IG, 1859 As it was "thick weather; with continued snow-storms, • Captain M` Master shaped his course so as to give the Cape a wide berth.' All went well up to nine o'clock, when we wore alarmed in the saloon by the cry of ' Star board ! Hard a-starboard !'" given by the officer on duty, Then followed a violent shock that threw us to the floor. A moment of extreme anxiety and terror succeeded. The lashings of the boats were cut away, and the boats pro visioned and lowered: in five minutes, and their crews told off to meet the emergency: In the meantime the machin ery was reversed, and we moved slowly astern. This was the critical moment—for we: expected the ship to sink in deep water. As soon as the • excitement had somewhat sub Sided, I proceeded. on deck, and could just discern through the haze and snow the precipitous coast on which we had struck. All around use were frantic passengers, rushing to and fro; life-belts in hand, and appaxently undecided whether to leap overboard or not. No one slept 'that awful night. At last the morning arrived, and. we found the crew. hard at work pumping ; the bowsprit was gone, and there was an immense hole extending from just above the watermark to the very keel, a distance from fifteen to twenty feet (this we could perceive as the' vessel was lifted at the bows by the heavy sea). The hole was large enough, as one of the sailors expressed it, for an omnibus to .drive through.' The first compart ment —the,ship being constructed in eight -was full of water, some thirty tons or more, while the second was gradually filling, as sonic of the rivets dividing the first from the Second were displaced by the force , of the .shOck. The passengers were divided into, gangs for the pumps, and we all took •a' turn every alternate four hours. At times we would gain on the water, while at others it would gain three feet or more in a couple of hours. Seein,,m. ()Ur ' dangerous condition, Captain M‘Master deter mined tohear .:for - St: John's,. Newfoundland, but •an adverse wind arose; that baffled all'hope , of reaching that port, so we made for Halifax, Nova Scotia, a distance of 400 miles, the pumps constantly at play. - To add, to our misfortunes the cold was intense.. The vessel Was coated with ice. Ropes an inch in thickness swelled to a diame ter of two and three inches. On the fourth day of our troubles, January 4th., our eyes were' gladdened by the sight .of land, and shortly after mid-day we anchored in es w s, as pr o es u e r ne h e ig o h f a ti p7pr h ec a i r a b t o ic u m r of of ea i p i t a a l i i n fax M:Ain ' ste . r's Suchc ooln mind, and seamanship, that before leaving the ship, we presented him with a complimentary address, signed by all the passengers."— .3f9rning Star. THE BOROUGH BANK. —The application made a . short time since at the Rolls Court, for an order to inspec' the books of the 'Liverpool Borough Bank, was renewed Mr.' Wright, of the firm of Wright and Venn, solicitors, Paper buildings, 'Temple. • 31r. .Field, of the firm of Field and Roscoe, Lincoln's inn, appeared on behalf of the liqui dators: When the previous application was made, Mr. Buckley, who was acting in the place of Mr. Whiting, the chief-clerk of the master of the rolls, suggested that some arrangement-should be come to between the parties. Acting on this suggestion, the following propositions . were 'submitted from the liquidators: That, with a view to prevent injury to the liquidation, and • the disclosure of the private accounts and affairs of the customers of the bank, the . solicitors be instructed' to submit to the court, on the hearing, of the application of Mr. John Bramley-Moore for -an inspection , of the books and accounts of the bank, that, in the opinion of the liquidators,i such inspection should only be allowed sub, ject to. the following 'restrictions :—That .the same shall be made only by an accountant appointed by and at the expense of the applicant ; such accountant to be approved by the liquidators; and specially named in the order. That only the nominal' accounts in the books of the bank, and such personal accounts as have resulted in losses, and are either finally closed or only open for the receipt of such dividends or compositions as. may be payable under the bankruptcy of the debtors, or under .1111(1 n•••••nwa nr• f n A 11, til 1 , 111 with thpir creditors, shall he open to inspection. That the personal accounts of the customers of the bank which are closed, and upon which no losses have arisen, and all such as are. still open and in liquidation, except as above mentioned, shall not bo inspected. That the minute book of the managing committee, which contains entries of the deal ings of the bank with its customers, shall not be inspected. That the objects of the inspection and examina tion be defined in the order, and the inspection and ex.; amination limited to such objects." The counter propo sitions submitted on behalf of Mr. J. B. Moore, who is acting as the representative of a number of shareholders in the Borongh Bank, were as follows: " That the same (inspection) shall be . made only by an accountant appointed by and at the expense of the applicant, such accountant to be approved by the court, and specially named in the order. That all the accounts in the books of the bank shall be open to inspection, save the personal accounts of the customers of the bank which are closed, and upon which •no losses have arisen; and all such as are still open and in liquidation. That all the minute books of the managing committee and th,l directors shall be open to inspection, save those of the managing directors, which had never been laid before any meeting of directors." Both propositions were laid before the chief clerk yesterday, and it was intimated that an agreement had been come to that Mr. T. G. Dixon,. of Edinburgh, should be the accountant appointed to examine-the- books of •the bank on the part of the shareholders whom Mr. Moore • represents. After hearing the arguments advanced by the leartied.gantle men engaged in the case,. Mr. Whiting said, it appeared to him that to carry this out properly, without reference to the design of the shareholders and the concessions in- . tended to be:Made by the liquidatorors, the accountant should' subscribe the declaration in the 58th clause of the deed of settlbnient, and make the necessary report ; but instead of making 'the report to a' committee of share holders, anything which the aciountant•desired to com municate should be communicated to him (Mr. Whiting), reserving it for the court to say what should or should not he communicated to the committee of shareholders. He suggested that, with' a view to this, it should be left to him to make an order which he hoped would meet the views of both parties, and he named two o'clock this day as the time when the order - would be submitted for the consideration of the gentlemen concerned. CHAMBER .OF .COMMERCE The Chamber of Commerce met on Monday, for the purpose of reoeivina the results of the voting appointed to take place for the election of members of the Council. Mr. Bushell took the chair. It will be remembered that the gentlemen nominated for election as members of the Council, were—Messrs. Edward Heath, J. Torr, R. W. Kelly, Charles T. Bow ring, Thomas Bunch, and S. Itathbone. It was announ ced that Messrs Heath, Torr, and Bouch had received the highest number of votes, and were, therefore, elected members of the Council. _ _ Some conversation arose as to the threatened opposi tion in the Ilouse pf Commons to the Mersey Dock Board's Bill, to obtain borrowing powers to the amount of £300,000, for the purpose of providing increased dock accommodation at this side of the water. Mr. Charles Robertion said, a very strong feeling was entertained that all the Liverpool public bodies should petition in favour of the , bill, and he had in his hand a copy of a petition which he hoped the Chamber would consent to adopt, and request their chairman to sign on their ,behalf. Mr. Forwood suggested a memorial to the Board of Trade, instead of a petition to the House of Commons. Mr. Robertson expressed his readiness to adopt the suggestion, remarking that he believed the almost unani mous opinion of Liverpool to be in favour of the bill. He felt satisfied that the works for- which the amount was to be borrowed, were absolutely necessary for the promotion of the . commerce . of the port, and that,, even were the • works on the other side-complete now, the proposed new works would still be required within a very short time, in order to carry out improvements. which were necessary. to facilitate dock arrangements. As far as Liverpool was concerned, therefore, he apprehended there could be no . objection to the bill, and it. seemed strange that parties not interested in any way in Liverpool should be the parties opposing it. The proposal seemed to him a reasonable- and . modest one. At the same time, he hoped that the dock board. would. take into consideration the fact that there was also a very strong opinion in the town that very much more might he done with the docks by . increas ing the facilities; that by the employment of improved machinery a very much greater amount of service could . be done, to the trade of the port by the existing dock quays and dock accommodation. He believed there were members of the. board now who were exceedingly desirous to promote this object, who, before the nomination of the board, expressed themselves very strongly in. faiour of it, and who were now prepared to do all then could to make the existing docks more available for £ho wants of the, community. He begged to move that a memorial to the , Board of Trade in favour of the bill promoted by the- Mersey Docks and Harbour Board for power to. raise £-300,000 for the purpose of providing increased dock accommodation on the Liverpool side of the Mersey, be adopted and signed by the chairman on behalf . of the Chamber, . Mr. Tomlinson seconded the motion. Mr. Robertson : Perhaps some member of the Dock Board present would give us some information as to the nature of the opposition to the bill. Mr. Forwood said the opposition had come rather of the bill. They did not ex p ect that in going to Parliament for a bill of such a modest character they suddenly upon the committee th at had the management quite extraneous with the p ort, nor, as far as he could learn, toshouthlde Interests e res i t n sf etewitthhe apnorTau siti olosition not eon nectodfrom parties connected with the trade of the, impor tant counties of Lapc4sitiro and Yo K ip*q.,. it was. remarkable that the-opposition was against- the-second reading of the bill ; so as not even to give the Dock Board, who were most anxious for the welfare of the port, an o pportunity of urging their arguments in its tn favour before a comittee. The opposition had come suddenly upon them, and hence the very brief notice that had been given to the different associations. The American chamber bad alramiy met on this question, and after discussion it had unaniiszonsly resolved not only to send up a memorial, but also to send up an influential deputation in support of it. lie eovsidered that the dock board were the proper parties to iun s - re how the money could be best expended for the interests of the port, and he was quite, satisfied that it would be . judiciously and properly expended. He could not stae very specifically the precise objects to which the money would be de voted, but he might state generally that it was, for the completion of some necessary works at the.no.rth end, to afford facilities for the inland trade, and it connection therewith to the timber trade. _ _ The Chair►nan suggested, that as he had ceased to be a member of the council, it might be more fittinsthat some gentleman still in office should act as Chairman,. and Sign the memorial.. Mr. Rawlins moved, that Mr. Robertson, the rice president, should• takethe chair. The motion was agreed to, and Mr. Robertson took the chair accordingly. Mr. Rawlina expressed a hope that the specici corn- _ ntittee which the Dock Board had appointed to inquire into the system. of working the docks and. quays, would follow out their inquiry fully and fairly. He did 'not think the board had done wisely in rejecting ; the proposal mad by Mr. Bushell, and he could not help s'aying that _ he did not. think touch confidence in that inquiry was felt out of doors. He hoped, however, that the board would redeem , their error in that-respect, by.taking care that the inquiry was most full and fair. (Hear, hem • Mr. FOrwood said, being a member of t allUded to, he could not remain silent without expressing his full conviction, that whatever might be the impression out of doors, the committee would endeavour to fulfil its duties to the utmost possible extent. He knew several members of the committee and he appealed to Mr. Bushell, who also knew them, to say whether they were not men 'who would not shrink from their duty ; and though Mr. Bushell was not a member of that committee, he trusted the committee would still have his valuable assistance, and that of any gentleman, even•. of Mr.. Rawlins, if he thought lie could give them any information which would tend to the better management of the dock esta Mr. Busliell declared that no feelin kind had entered into his refas a committee which on the the 'do( committee of a personal was the executive to be put working of the port of s aid quays •c:ornini worked for a acting upon- the same principle, was not exactly the com mittee to institute an inquiry as to whether any improve ments could be effected.. Although there were gentlemen upon it highly, qualified by experience and by judgment to prosecute the inquiry,, he did feel that there was some one head required to preside over the committee who should.be independent of former • prejudices and former proceedings, and who should devote his whole time to ,the Inquiry. - He did not choose the other day, when the 411pstiim was raised, at the dock board, .to•enier into any further discussion; but he still did feel that the. whole question was beset with difficulties, and that many inipedifpentswould arise to . a full inq,uiry into the manage ment or the docks And quays.. Ho thought au independent head would best have carried out the inquiry. 7 Mr. Forwood : Let the future decide ; and if the inquiry is not full and efficient, it. will then be for the town to pronounce its opinion.. The petitioa was then adopted, and the business of the meeting concluded. MEETING OF THE BRITISIL AND , IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. Yesterday, at the Clarendon-rooms, the shareholders held the second ordinary general meeting; Mr. E. Crop per presiding. Mr. Edw. Bright, secretary, having' read the notice convening the meeting, the following -report and-state ment of accounts were as read: " In the annexed accounts of the Company's business during the past year, now forwarded to the shareholders, there is little calling for any particular remark on the p art of the directors. Notwithstanding the general depression of trade •during the period, and especially of those particular branches to which telegraphic 'corn- munication is most necessary, the gross receipts Ore larger thin in the previous year by ... £1,600. The expenses, howevor, have al so increased the same ratio, and .both receipts and expenses have• been in a great degree influenced by additional demands of - .the Press, and the cost of obtaining- the information required. By recent arrangements with foreign agents, the directors are able to afford 'a better supply of general news; and the Press, with very - few exceptions, have cheerfully agreed to an increased tariff to meet this extra outlay: " .Daring the past year 215. miles of additional line, comprising Sit miles of telegraph wire, have been erected, viz.:—aver the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway ;' Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway; 'St. Helens lingtonl3ranches, etc.; and workj are approaching com pletion on the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway ;. the Llngford and Cavan' Branch ; and, the Portadown and Dinannon Railway —ill tending to the extension. of the &Iterations and im- general system of cOmmttaication. Provemerits are also being carried out in connection: with the company's wires hetwaon Liverpool, Manchester, and Llndon. "The Company's line between London and. Wey bourne, on the coast of Norfolk, passes through,Cam bridge, Newmarket, Norwich, Sr. -J., and is to be worked in connection with the Submarine CoMpany's cables to the north of Europe, which were referred to in the report for 1857. The nahoverian cable was successfully laid between Weybourne and Embden, on the comet of Hano ver, at the end of Oetober last. A considerable part of the additional capital required for the extension to Hanover was subscribed by the shareholders bf this Cxnpany; and an agreement has been entered into with the Submarine Company for the inland transmission of the traffic to arise thererom, on similar terms' to those previously existing for the traffic by way of Dover to Franee'and Belgium, with the same Company, to whom an extended concession: for thirty years has just been granted by the French Government. Wires are also being erected from. Cambridge to join the Company'S line;' at Doncaster, so as to give Liverpool, Manchester, Hull, Leeds, 'Bradford, and other important places that direct communication with the north of Europe so mach needed. "A beneficial agreement has been entered into with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company - , for. supplying their mainlines and branches with telegraphic communication between 101 of their stations. The works are being pushed on to completion, and a large develop meat of tratfie is anticipated from this source as soon as these stations are open to the public. " Asatisfitctory contract has been nude with the Mid land Great Western Railway Company. of Ireland for an improved system of telegraph, which is. being carried out; and in connection. with this line a considerable business is now springing up. in the transmission, of messages, via , Newfoundland, to and from America, by means of the Galway steamers. . "The construction of the company's new premises. in London, facing , the Royal Exchange, on the site of the late Baltic Coffee-house and adjacent premises, referred to in the last report, has been proceeded with ; they are now on the point of completion, and satisfactory arrange ments have , been made with the Submarine Telegraph Company, tlw London District 'telegraph Company, and others, for their occupation of part of these premises. " The lease of 72, Old Broad t strect, has been disposed of; and upon the new station being opened, the Corahill offices and.present Stock Exchar4e station in Throginorton street, will be given up. • "The-terms of an agreement have been settled for the mutual. interchange of traffic. between this company and the LNi.clon District Telegraph Company, whose system is to., comprise upwards, of 100 stations. in and about London ; and by this =anis a considerable developoment of this company's metropolitan business may be looked forward to.
