hIARLBOROLIGH-STREET. Co!mean AT Caome-
roan's.—Yesterday • foreign gentleman came into cuurt,
and addressing Mr. Hardwick in French, begged for advice
under the following circumstances. Ile had recently become
tke lessee of the celebrated Crockford's club-house for three
years, at a yearly rent of 3,000/. His object in taking the
premises was to convert them into concert and assembly-
rooms of the most select character. He had, however, un-
fortunately signed the agreement to become lessee, without
being aware that it was necessary to have a license for music
and dancing, and that such license :mild only be granted by
a 1211;'....seette nAw to know whether the magis-
trate could Rut him in the way of obtaining each a license. 1
Mr. Hardwick said he feared be could give the applicant no
1
assistance towards the attainment of his object. The license 1,
required could only be granted by magistrates in petty KS- I;
sinus. The sessions were held in October last, and unless 4
there was an adjourned sessions, he did nut know how the
applicant was to get a license until the next year ' • and if he
1
opened his rooms without a license, he would be at the
mercy of every common:informee ; he would be subject to a t
penalty of 501. each night of performance, and also render 14
his visitors liable without previouswarning to be into ii
custody on a warrant Ly the poliwce. The best advi taken
ce he It
could give the applicant was to apple to a respectable 11
attorney. The applicant thanked the magistrate, and then 41
withdrew. 2
CLERKENWELL.—A respectable looking young lad,
named John Galt, was charged with stealing 21 watch
chains, the property of Messrs. Edward Walker and Sons,
of Red Lion-street. It appeared from the evidence that the
prisoner, who was an apprentice to Mr. Parkinson, of Red
Lion-street, entered the prosecutor's shop on Tuesday after-
noon, about three o'clock, and asd to see a watch chain,
which he bought, and went awakey; soon after which 21 other
chains were missed, and information having been given to
the police, it was ascertained that the prisoner had offered
some of the chains, at a very low price, to a fellow-appren-
tice, when the fermer was taken into custody, and the pro-
perty found upon him. He was folly committed for trial.
Charles Sharpe, was charged by Mr. Dodd the duet con-
tractor for the district of Clerkenwell, with stealing a quan-
's
tity of dust. The prisoner was observed by the complainant
foreman to remove a cart-load of ashes from the Chalk-road,
Islington, which he took to the premises of Mr. Stuckey.—
In his defence, the prisoner said he was in the employment
of Mr. Stuckey, who had built a great many houses in the
Chalk-road, led he was sent to remove the ashes. Owing
to the carelessness of the contractor, heaps of dust and ashes
had accumulated in such a manner as to be a perfect •
nuisance to that neighbourhood : and although Mr. Dodd
was strict, when any person interfered for cleanliness sake,
the dirt and rubbish might remain there for ever, for all he
seemed to care about it —The foreman stand that his mare 3
ter paid 1,0001. a-year for the right of taking away the dust,
41c
and he was very frequently plundered.—Mr. CoomSe said
he should only fine the prisoner a shilling, but trusted I
that would be a warning to him and others that they acted 1
illegally.
THAMES. —lm VORTANT TO PAWNBROKERS. Mr.
Childs, pawnbroker, of High-street, Shadwell, appeared tod I
answer a claim for compensation made by a person name
Holland, under tie foiuwing circumstances. It appeared
4
that on the 1.-dh of July, 184.5, the complainant pawned set
lof china, and on tke 14th of the same month, in the present 4
year. lie backed the duplicate fur three months more. On
the 10th of October lust, he called to redeem tho property,
but he was told by the defere'ant that it had been sold on
the lith of September fur 17s. lid. The complainant claimed
compensation ; but the defendant contended that as Holland I
came one day later than the period for which the property
was bricked, he had put himself out of court. The magistrahe
te
ruled that the defendant, having soli the property heroic t
period fur which it was backed, was liable to the claim for
compensation.
HAMMERS)IITII.—THE Lew OF 'MASTER AND SER-
VANT.-111r. Itaittion, of the
ageHtrunersmith Con-
veyance Company, appeared to answer ummons at the
instance of Richard Cloud, one of his driver.' for non-pay-
ment of a week's wages, amounting to 185. The complainant
had been discharged without notice, and he claimed in con-
sequence a week's wages, which he contended he was enti-
tled to by usage.—Mr. l'aynter decided that the complainant
was entitled to the we sek' notice or the wages, and ordered
`..e amount claimed, with 2s. costs, to be paid.

MONEY K
MARET.
WEDNESDA:4 EVENING.
The more favourable accounts by the Overland
Mail from India both politically and So.:tidally, and from
the United States in respect of ample supplies of breadstuff's
forthcoming for this country and the continent where neces-
sary', coming at a moment when the movement of 'the funds
had already taken an upward direction for some days pre-
viously, could hardly fail to communicate an additional hn •
pulse to the market. Consols in consequence advanced to
951, and were done even at 951 both money and time pur-
chases. Towards the close of husineoi these higher rates
ceased to be maintained however but they still leftoff 951
for money, and 951 for time. The equality of the rates be-
tween money and time would seem to come in proof of the
scarcity of money stock, which was one chief foundation, ac-
cording to general acceptation, of the continued gradual
in consols fur some time put. Had money stock been more
abundant and easily procured, there should be a rate of con-
tinuation between the prices for money and account some-
thing like equal to the difference of interest betwixt the two
periods. The equality of rates favours the siew,moreover, that
consid..rable amounts of stock business were carried over from
the late settlement of account to the 10th inst., the nearer ap-
proach of which induces those who have sold for delivery to be
more eager about getting into stock by or before the appointed
time. Reduced Threes closed94l to 1; Three•and-a-Quarter

RAILWAY NEWS.
The share market opened yesterday with much
firmness and ae i%ity of business, and so continued with
improved prices for some lines until nearly the time of
closing. A change then came over the market, which left
off decidedly weaker. Shrewsbury and Birminghams, Cale-
donians, Gooles, Leeds and Thirsks, Huddersfield and Man-
chester., were all in decline. Some of the old stocks which
had advanced left off flat. No cause was assigned for this
reverse in the latter part of the day of the morning's prospects
of railway business.
The market, fur old stocks, was firm at Liverpool, hut the
newer lines were generally a shade lower than on Tuesday,
except Shrewsbury and Birmingham*, Stour Valleys, and
Great Grimsbys, which were all better. The business clone
was not to any great amount.
No great amount of business was done at Manchester, but
the tone of the market was healthy : prices steady and firm.
A tolerable amount of business was done at Birmingham,
but prices generally had a downward tendency, with the
exception of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction, in which
there were sales at 7p. Stour Valleys were done at the
commencement of the business at 21 p., but receded at the
close to 21 p.; North Stafforda, at 31 p.; Shrewsbury and
Birmingham (class A), 21 p.; Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton,
and South Staffordshire Scrip, at p.; South Staffordshire
Registered (late Junction), 225. 6d. p.; Shropshire Unions
Registered, at Is. 3d. dis.
At Leeds, the share market exhibited the same animation
as on the preceding day, and a good businesswas transacted;
but prices were not so buoyant. East Lancashires (New
Scrip) advanced from 11 to 24 p.; Leeds and ash
es from
11 to 1 d. ; and the Melton and Driffield shares, from
17s. 6d. to 22a. p.
The market at Bristol was more active and firm, as regards
prices. Bristol and Exeter Old Shares were done at 791 to
80; Bristol and Exeter, New, 81; Birmingham and Oxford
Junction, 81 ; (heat Western, Old Shares, 130; Great
Western, New, 71; Manchester and Leeds Extension,
Midland Stock, 126; Bristol and Gloucester, 691; North
Staffordshire, 3/. 18s. 9d. p. ; Shrewsbury and Birmingham, 21
p.; Taff Vale Five per Cents., par.
The demand at Hull on Tuesday for all descriptions of
shares was very great; but owing to the small amount of
stock offered for gale, only a limited business was transacted.
Leeds and Thirsks, Dewsbur3s, N. British, and the East'
Anglian lines were in demand at improved rates.

MEETING THIS DAY.

LONDON.--LYNN AND Er.r.—A special general meeting
of this company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern. Sir W. B.
Fowkes, thechairman of the company, preeided. The meeting was called
to consider an agreement entered into between the directors of the
Ely and Huntingdon and Lynn and Denham Railway Com-
panies on the one part, and the directors of the Enstern Counties
Railway Campany on the other part, for leaaing the railway% branch
railways, and works of the three East Anglian companies to the
Eastern Counties. The entire length of the Enes propomd to
be leased is about 8.5 miles, that of the Lynn and Ely 36.
and T
Elhe
capital of the three lima is 884,4e05, that of the Lynn y
800,000/. The followin viand an abstract of the agreement submitted to
the meeting.—Tbe Lyn Ely,. Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and
Dercham Railway Companice having agreed to amalgamate under the
name of " Vie Last Anglian Railways Company," in the agreement
entered into, those companies were took treated with under that
name. The Eastern Counties Company ed to leane the three amal-
gamated lines for 999 years on the following terms :—For t n
he tit
three years of the said term they agreed to pay a clear dividend of 5/.
per cent. on the entire share capital of ti84,40e/., and for the residue
of the said term a clear dividend no such capital lees by two per cest.
than the disidend for the time being, payable on the share capital of
the Etitern Counties Railway Company, now converted into 20!.
shares; but they guaranteed that, after the expiration of the three
years, the minimum rent raid should be 6/. per cent. pertbe above
The Eastern Counties Company further agreed that until ve
rent should commence, interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
!mould be paid out of the share capital or borrowed money of the
proprietor. of shares in the East Anglian Railways Company,
upon all the instalments and calls, paid by t
term hem fromthree the
days on which they became payable. The of
years was to commence on the day when the
be tine
line of the
amalgamated companies from Lynn to Ely should cpleted
and reedy for opening; and if the whole line were not then complete,
the Eastern Counties Company was tote put in possession of the dif-
ferent portions as they should be fininbed. The locomotive engines,
plant, &c., were to be taken at cost price. The East Anglian Railways
Company were not to be bound to lay down double lines of rolls on
any part of their lists. They were, however, to proceed to Parlia-
ment to obtain power to construct such extensions, branches, and
other worke as the Eastern Counties Company should request, at the
risk and cost of the latter company. In case any dispute thould arise
as to the true intent and meaning of the agreement, it
con
to be re-
ferred to the decision of the chairman for the time being of the South
Western Company, or of some person to be nppointed by him.—The
chairman, in his opening remarks, admitted that the agreement was
not so advantageous as it appeared at first, in eths, • equence of the
eversion of the 141. 16s. shares of the Eastern Counties Corn-
, may into ROL chores, by the payment of 1/. 45., and
saloons of 4/. Ile concluded, however, by moving, "in order," as he
mid, " to bring the matter to twee, that the agreement be approved
' ratified, and confirmed." Mr. Sparrow seconded the motion.
I spreral sharehtialers expressed their dinsalisfaction at the terms
of the agreement, and reminded the directors that in tae orie-
-1 nal prospectus they had held out to them hopes of obtaining
r•zer cent. The solicitor of the company said, that the
tables proved in parliament gave 84 per cent. Mr. Bruce
moved an amendment repudiating the agreement, and emPow-
, ering the directors to treat for a minimum dividend of 6 per cent.,
with a maximum of only 1/. less than the dividend upon the Emtern
Counties' 20!. shares. Mr. Gawgroger seconded the amendment.
Several proprietors called upon the chairmen and the directors to state
why they had consented to seeept the offered tenns, after their ow n
statements as to the excellent prospects of the line on former occa-
sions. The chairman said he declined to answer the queetion.
Mr. Punchers( moved a second amendment, declaring that
the shareholders would repudiate any agreement that mi..ht
be entered into by the directors, which had not for its basis
a guarantee of 8 per cent. on the capital paid up—Mr. Bunting
seconded the amendment, and contended that there was nothing in
the cost or circumstances of the line which should induce the share-
holders to accept less favourable terms.—Mr. Henry C. Lacy, one of
the directors of the company, said he bad differed from the majority
of his colleagues as to the proposed lease. Nothing except the price of
land had exceeded the estimates; and he had not the least doubt that
if they had proceeded alone, within four or five years the line would
have paid 10 per cent. No imputation of jobbery could possibly be
fastened upon his co-directors, but he certainly differed from them
very strongly on that subject. —After a desultory discussion on the
motion of Mr. Lacy, seconded by Mr. Whi e'er, the meeting adopted
the following resolution:—"That whilst this meeting sanctions the
directors In taring powers in the amalgamation bill to lease the Eaat
Anglian Railways to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, the
shareholders reject any termsbeing made for such lease, unless the East-
ern Counties Company shall agree, before the Ist of Jan. next, to allow
5 per cent. on calls till Die line be opened ; then 6 per cent. for three
yearn; and from and after that time a Reed guarantee of 74 per cent.;
in which ease the directors are authorised to conclade an agreement
to that effect." The chairman, in a short defence of himself and his
colleagues, said they did not, under the circumstances, desire that the
agreement should be confirmed. Resolutions were paced, etnpuwer-
kg the directors to apply to parliament, in the ensuing session, for
powers to construct railways from Witheach to Sp ilding and 1
beach, and from Ely to Bury St. Edmund .% and also to construct
docks at the port of King's Lynn. A vote of thanks was given to the
chairman and the directors.
WORCESTER, TENRURT. AND LCDLOW.—A meeting of
illasulare and shareholders in this company was held yesterday at the
asepsay's offices, South-square, Gray's-inn, for the purpose of con-
sidering the present position of the undertaking. James Davis, Ems,
1 in the chair. •It will be recollected that thus is the company with
1 which Captain Richardson was connected, who was prosecuted for
1 forging a cheque fur 5,000/. onCoutta's husk, by which he obtained that
amount of the deposits of the shareholders. It appeared that at u
I former meeting it had been resolved not to dissolve the company, and
yet the unanimous opinion iClie,. that the line could not be made by
the preeent partins although it was a good line. An attempt had
been made te WlCetiate with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Company
to dispose of the plans, turveye, &e, but it failed, and several pro-
positions were now suggested as, to bow the funds in hand, amounting
to about 4,000 t, should be disposed of, whether by a dividend on account
or otherwise, but no deciaion was come to,and the meeting broke up with-
out having arrived at any result. It appeared that the sum recovered
from Captain Richardson in his house was 3,200/.; but he having
been acquitted, a doubt was expressed by a shareholder if he could
not recover back that money, or hie aseigneee, in case of his bank-
ruptcy. The sum lost by his act was I,soo/., which he had paid away
before hie arrest, and the colas of hie prosecution nearlr 400/. ; and
a question seemed to arise whether the lom ought not to fall, in justice
at least, upon the directors, rather than the shareholder% or a portion
of it on the bank that had paid the fabricatedeheque. A good dent i f
severe remark fell from several present at the continued absence from
the country of Mr. Whitmore, whose name appeared on the cheque,
In the face of the manner in which hie name was implicated ; and, as
a director, he was considered to be highly responsible far a charm of
the lose, and also Mr. Stevenson, whose name was likewise on the
cheque, and who, although in andon, so far from coming forward
to aid the company in their provost condition, had demanded ten
guineas of the secretary for his attendance at the trial of Captain
Richardson.
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CONNECTING.—YederdAy an
adjourned meeting of the seripholdera of this company was held at the
London Tavern, for the purpose of considering and determining as to
the adoption of the report of the committee of investigation. The
chairman was Mr. Castendieek. A long speech was made by Mr.
Hopwood, who went into the various climates of misconduct brought
against the directors, and more particularly dwelt on the payment of
101. to Mr. Metyard (one of the directors) or the purpose of getting
the money out of Chancery; he also alluded to the giving one of the
directors a blank check for the purpose of "rigging" the market.—Mr.
Daniel inveighed strongly 'mirth the conduct of the directors, and
advised an indictment of the whole party, solicitors and all, at the
Old Bailey.—Mr. Cart (one of the solicitors) replied, and stated that
Mr. Metyard was in Staffordshire, and his signature being necessary
to obtain the money from the Accountant-General, the 101. was paid to
him merely for llo.expccdu-s tromStationithire undback again, be being
unknown to him.—A long and virulent discussion then took place in
