GREAT WESTERN.

On Friday afternoon the forty-fifth half-yearly meet-
ing of the shareholders in this company was held at
Paddington, the Hon. F. Ponsonby presided.
The Chairman informed the meeting that the story
recently circulated as to the discovery of the frauds
in the company and the apprehension of an offender,
was entirely without foundation. He then proceeded to
make some remarks upon the report of the directors. In
the first place, he made reference to the late commercial
distress, and referring to the state of the company's
finances, at the last half-year, congratulated the
shareholders upon the satisfactory state of their
affairs. A wish had been expressed by the proprietors
that four gentlemen of commercial habits and practi-
cal experience be added to the board of directors, and
he was now able to state that the directors were
now ready to redeem the pledge which they had given,
by adding to the direction, in addition to the gentleman
whose name had been previously mentioned, the names
of S. Baker, R. Brown' and Mr. Beaming. The to-
tal estimate of expense for the year was exceeded by
£9,000, though in respect to the purchase of land the
estimate was under the mark. The directors had suc-
ceeded in making reductions in the number of trains,
and thereby an additional profit upon every passenger
would be received. It was hoped that a still further
reduction would result from the completion of an ar-
rangement now pending with the London and North
Western Railway Company. Further reductions in the
expenditure would be made by diminishing the number
of persons employed, by a voluntary giving up by Mr.
Saunders, the secretary, of 20 per cent, of his salary,
and by no remuneration being given to the directors for
their services during the last few years. (Hear.) With
regard to the relations of this company with other com-
panies, amicable arrangements had been made and were
now being negotiated. He expressed the readiness of
the board to continue the policy of retrenchment and to
use their best endeavours to advance the interests of the
company. In conclusion he moved the adoption of the
report.
The Rev. Mr. Nicholson seconded the motion.

The hie t temperature which has prevailed during the

siderable blight, it is not sufficient to 000ssion any fear
of the ultimate result. Our market ii very languid, cud,
were sales are pressed, lower rates must be mooted ;
but the pressure has not been sufficient to materially
alter the currency. No foreign hops arrived in the port

SPAIN.

The Queen of Spain ir
Mr. Buchanan, the new English Minister at the Court
of Madrid, has presented his credentials to the Queen,
and was very favourably received.
The Queen on her visit to Toledo gave a magnificent
bracelet and a pair of brilliants to a statue of the Vir-
gin; also 5,000 reale to the poor. She likewise in the
course of her visit, adorned the famous crucifix of
Isabella the Catholic, and caused the sword of Alphonso

AUSTRIA. •
The Imperial Government has this year omitted the
usual celebration of the anniversary (the 101st) of the
battle of Kollin, fought on the 18th of June, 1757,
between the Austrians and Prussians; the latter, under
the command of Fredrick the Great, were defeated with
greet loss. No shusion to this Austrian victory is made
in the order of the day addressed to the army on the
occasion of the Rite commemorating the institution of
the Order of Maria Theresa.

Sir Henry Balwer, who is on his way to his post at
Constantinople, arrived at Vienna on the evening of the
20th.

TURKEY.

The insurrection of -Ca-n-d-i—a has- been appeased. The
insurgents made a formal statement of their grievances
to the Turkish Commissioners, and then withdrew to
their homes.
The Montenegrins retired between the 14th and the
20th ultimo to their mountains, leaving at Grahovo only
eighty men to protect part of the booty which had not
been sent to Cettingen. Notwithstanding their depar-
ture, the rayahs of Zubia and Grahovo sent, on the 14th
an expedition against the village of Korenci, which was
completely ravaged on the 15th and 16th. All the bodies
of the Turks, which were lying about in great numbers,
rear Grahovo, have been burnt. The Turkish authori-
ties are devoting their entire activity to the preparations
for a fresh expedition, it is thought against Grahovo or
against the rebellious malls.

PRUSSIA.

Prince Frederick William, before setting out on his
progress through the Eastern Provinces, has just paid
his promised visit to Stettin, where his Royal Highness
has been received with the greatest enthusiasm, regret
having, however, been very universally expressed that
he was not on this OCCltlion accompanied by his royal
consort.

Much dissatisfaction has arisen in the mercantile com-
munity at Dantzie from the authorities having refused
to ratify the choice of a Jewish merchant of high stand-
ing to be one of the directors of the Chamber of Com-
merce of that city ; but hopes are entertained that some
arrangement may yet be made by which the difficulty
that has been raised on this question will be speedily
overcome, in which it is thought an excess of zeal
has induced some subordinate officer to go a stup beyond
that which he was legally entitled to adopt, and which
the earliest opportunity that offers will be availed of to
enable him to retrace, as it is desirable that no symp-
tom of discontent should present itself on the occasion
of the approaching visit of Prince Frederick William to
that city, which has MO long held • distinguished place
among the seats of commercial enterprise in Europe.
Prussia lion thought it right somewhat to modify her
proposal to the German Diet as to the suppression of
gaming houses throughout the Confederacy. "Vested
interests" in such scenes of vice have been too strong
for her good intentions, and the point now to be dis-
cmeed does not go farther than the prevention of the
opening of new establishments and the placing of those
already in existence under a more strict ourveillanre.
The city of Dantzie has been visited by • tiestnictive
contlsgration, which broke out on the 10th inst. Seve-
ral great factories, flour mills, and warehouses have
fallen a prey to the flames ; but the full extent to which
the city had suffered has not yet been ascertained.

object to the exportation of ouoh labourers by fraud or

ought to be absolutely prohibited.
The Earl of ALRICMARLI moved for the production of
a copy of the first and second reports of the Select
Crimmins of the House of Cominoni on Colonisation and
Settlement in India. He advocated an extentive Kettle-
mint of British-born subjects in India, as the best means
of promoting the materiel and moral intonate of the

CORONATION•DAY CBLEBRATION.—Yesterday our
town presented an unusually gay appearance, the &hop-
keepers and inhabitants generally indulging in a
day's holiday, in honour of Her Majesty's Coronation,
and the Esplanade and streets were thronged by visi-
tors, by the several excursion trains. At 4 o'clock the
attention was specially drawn to the vicinity of the
small flags which have been placed in the bay and
not far from the Esplanade by the Boat Club; and
here the sports commenced with a skill race for the
champion belt. Other races in gallies and canoes
followed, contested by watermen and members of the
Boat Club, after which came' a chance for the ladies"
—viz. • galley race, by two of the club boats manned
by Benedict', and two manned by bachelors, the suc-
cessful competitors being presented with silver oars
and "a portrait of the prettiest girl in Weymouth."
To ensure the said portrait, Mr. Wallis, the photo-
graphist invited and the bill was printed in
pale blue—ladies desirous of being immortalized as
" the prettiest girl in Weymouth '' to visit his labora-
tory and have their likenesses taken. He is to ex-
hibit the result to ladies this day (Tuesday) between
/9 and 2. A good many games of a comic character
took place on the sands, and at 8 o'clock there was
• launch of • large vessel from Mr. Solent's yard,
which was afterwards celebrated by • supper. The
new band, of (smile, formed a great attraction, and
they played some excellent pions in a very delight-
ful manner. With the leader, Herr Baker' the band
number. 12, and they are pronounced to be better
musicians than the oompany we had last season.
Steamers ran to Portland every hour.

HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY.

Their Lordships sat it 5 o'clock.
The Earl of MALMIRBORY, in reply to the question
put by the Marquis of LANBDOWNS on Friday evening,
stated that the Government did not intend to lay on the
table the resolutions relating to the government of India
,sflirmed by the House of Commons. Fhey had been
made the foundation of a Bill, and the whole question
could be better discussed when that measure came
regularly before their Lordships. He hoped the Bill
would come up from the other House in time to take the
amend reading by the second week in July.
The Bishop of OXFORD, in moving for papers bearing
on the exportation of coolies from Hongkong, expressed
his fears that from the condition of some of our colonies
there was • danger of England being drawn into tolera-
ting a slave trade in another form.
The Earl of CARNARVON had no objection to produce
the correspondence and papers desired. The whole
question was under the consideration of the Govern.
rnent. _

Lord BROUGHAM believed the evils of the system Gould
only be remedied by its total prohibition.
The Earl of CLARENDON confirmed the statement of
the Earl of Carnarvon that the abuses complained of
occurred in the Chinese ports, where England bad
neither agents nor commercial influence.
The motion was then agreed to, and their Lordships
adjourned.

FRANCE.
The Mositeur publishes the decree appointing Prince
Napoleon Minister of Algeria and the Colonies.
It is thought that the Queen of Spain will visit the

The newspapers have commented in no flattering terms
on the speeches in the House of Lords lately on the

The organization of Algeria and the appointment of
Prince Napoleon as Imperial Lieutenant are once more
on the icipis, and this time, we are told, with all but the
certainty of a definite resolution. After various plans
were examined, half approved or wholly rejected, the

INSULTING AN EKPEROR.—A man named Leger
Ferre, carpenter and poet, hu been tried for an insult
to the Emperor. On Easter Monday he scoompanied
the fraternity of carpenters of Chartres in • procession
which it is their wont to hold on that day, and after
dinner he sang a ribald song of his own composition,
entitled " Confusions of the Emperor to the Archbishop
of Paris." It was moreover proved that he appeared in
the Wats with a red cockade in his hat, and cried
" Vive la Republique r For these offences the Chartres
tribunal sentenced him to three months' imprisonment,
The Government, not thinking the punishment severe
enough, appealed and obtained a judgment of twelve
months.

menced.

BILMENT OP ASSISTANT BASIIISTERS.—The new
Act providing for the retireinent of assistant banisters

sistant barristers of the county Clare, county Tipperary,
county Down, county Monaghan, county S/Qo, county
Waterford, county Cork, Queen's County, county Meath,
and county Cavan retire on full salaries by the new Act,
and Messrs. Blackburne, Pennefather, Vereker, Gray-
don, Henn, and White are spoken of aa new barrister
for the vacant counties."

THI HARVEST.—Fur many seasons bank there hag not
been so cheering a prospect as the present one holds out
to the fanner. The accounts—come from what quarter
they may—show no variation ; everything looks pro-
mising, and there is only an isolated rumour from some
remote district of the appearance of the potato* disease,
in however, ors very mitigated a form as to cause no
apprehension of the consequences. The fmlowing
resuoil is taken from the Cork Constitution:—The
weather is now splendid, and the various crops most
luxuriant, the country pinta's' never looking more
beautiful than at the present time. The late rains with
which we were visited has proved of great benefit to
the oats, and they as well aq the wheat and barley give
promise of an abundant yield. The fears which were
a few weeks ago expressed of a re-appearanoe of the
potatoe disease in some diatricts have beeome quite
allayed. Soule blackness was pereeived in the tubes in
tome places, but as the east wind which prevailed at
the time ceased they assumed their previous healthy
appearance. Abundance of new ones are constantly
pouring into the market, and the prices are iapidly
coming down. From all quarters of the country the
most cheering accounts of time orops are being given.
In Rosoolumnon, Tipperary, Limerick. Mayo, Kerry,
Antrim, Down, Derry, Armagh, and other parte they
are stated to be flourishing. In • few isolated patches
In Mayo and Kerry blight is said to be perceived, but
presented in • very mild form, and not likely to result
in much loss. On the whole the prospects of this crop
and that of grain are highly satisfactory, and an early
and plentiful harvest may be fairly anticipated.
