MEETING THIS DAY.
Oxford and Worcester Extension and Chester Junction, Mason's
Hall Tavern,l p.m.
PROVINCIAL.-Yong AND CARLISLE.-It is ran'.
renUy rumoured in Westmoreland that the York and Cartisle Railway
Compeny, now amalgamated with the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union
and Leeds and Carlisle Companies', have abandoned the portion of
their line (for which they obtained a marate act last snake) from
Bishop Auckland, in Durham, to Kirkby Stephen, in Westmoreland.

on Mainframe Fell, through a strata of solid limestone rock, Ls now

Stainmore. It was mipposed that by leaving the original
lßinroeutoghthtoe ''Hallutbartl;pandtedingtben tur-viceinatutthe4Botle mthijcs"-wolertebry
might run into the original line at Smanlale (where the Yorkshire
and Glasgow line, adopted by the united companies, is crossed), and
join the Lancaster and Carlisle at Febay near Orton. This, however,
is likewise found to be impracticable, owing to the steepness of the
gradients over Stainmore. The promoters, therefore, have no lateens,
Itire but to desert the undertaking, a result much to be regretted, as
the railway promised to be of great utility, not only as a traffic but as
a passenger Ilne ; and the benefit alone which it would have conferred
upon Westmoreland and the southern (Benicia of Cumberland, by
bringing thither coals at a much cheaper rate, would have been rut.
At Appleby and Kendal the average price of coal throughout the year
is Is. per cwt., the former town being supplied from the west pits in
Durham, and the latter from Wigan in Lancashire ; whereas, by •
transit on the York and Carlisle line of railway, coal from the
Durham pita, of by far the superior quality, could be delivered
at each place at not mote than 6jd. or 7d. per cwt.
GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER.-Tins line will be closed
on Saturday week for sonic time, for the purpose of filling up the
Medway :and Rochester canal (upon the bank of which the railway
runs), and laying down a double line of railway. It Li expected that
the works will occupy the contractor until the ensuing spring.
TRENT VALLEY.- In consequence Of the rapidity with
which the works on this line are progressing, it is expected that it
will be completed and opened early in March. The line was com-
menced in November, 1815, and the whole of the excavations and ma-
ting' are completed, and above twenty miles of the permanent way is
finished.
NEW STATION AT REOBY.-The directors of the London
and North Western Railway have just purchased eighteen acres of
land for the erection of a new station at Rugby, the present building
being insufficient for the present and anticipated traffic. There are
at present upwards of fifty trains daily running into this station.
FALL OP A RAILWAY STATION ON THE EASTERN
COIRTM4.-On Thursday last the roof of a elation on the Eastern
Counties railway at Raton, near Peterborough, fell in, and several
persona narrowly escaped with their lives. The accident Was caned
through the station being erected near the banks of a river, and the
foundation being insecure.
FOREIGN.-FRANCE.-An accident haripeneil in the
night of the 21st instant, on the Alsacian line, between DJrnach
and Mulhausen. A special train, composed of only two earriages,
was engaged to convey two of the directors, several engineera
of the royal corps, of ponts-el-chounsece, and some of the company's
servants, from Strasburg to Mulhausen. After passing the Dornach
station the train came in violent contact with the passenger train
from Mann, going in the same direction. The driver of the special
train had too late perceived the red lanthorn behind that in advance,
and running upon it, smashed the last waggon, and threw the tender
oft the line. A man on the tender was thrown into a ditch, but was
not much hurt, and the other persons escaped with some alight
braises.
AUSTRIA.-A new section of the Ferdinand Railway,
namely, (tom Weissenkirch, in Austria. to Lipnick, in Illyria, has just
been finished. Some experimental trips were made on it, and were
satisfactory, so that it will be now opened to the public.
N AVM v.-The Frankfurter Journal ofthe 24th states that
the Rheingau railway will not be executed. About 22,000 guilders
have been already expended on the preliminary works.
AMSTERDAM AND HELDER ILAILWAY.-The Arnhentsche
Courant states that the funds for the above line are quite ready. The
corps of state engineers, however, are making anxious inquiries
respecting the military defence of the passage over the Y-theharbour
of the Dutch capital.
'lv astA.-A letter of the 27th of October states that the
pro}ect, which has often been talked of, for making a railway front
St, Petersburg to Ilaltieport, on the Baltic, is now to be carried. out by
a company in the former city, at the brad of which are M. Navitsch-
kine, Cowl, Bier of State • M. Taubea, colonel of engineers; M. Seguin,
a French m rchant; and M. Polesehjef, a wealthy citizen of St. Peters-
burg. The government have guaranteed to this company 41 per cant.
interest on the capital required for the construction of the railway.
Permission hue also been given to the same company for constructing
another r.:way to Cronstadt, to unite with that from St. Petersburg
to Moscow.

heavily to-day, 150 hbda only of West India sold by private contract,

maintained ; other deariptions Gd. to to. lower ; standard quality of
refined dull, at 64a. Coffee: 3,000 bags plantation Ceylon sold stea-
dily in public sale, averaging previous rates, chiefly 525. to fiGe.
about •00 bags native good ordinary were offered, and nearly all
withdrawn at 375. for want of buyers at that price, which makes this

Bengal sold 15s. Oda ; good Madras, 15e. 6d. ; inferior, 14e., 14s. Gd.,

COTTON.-Livearoot, Nov. 27.-The wiles today are 7,000 bales,
and those of the week have been 31,420 balm. Prices unaltered.
laysaroot., Nov. 27.-Sugar: There has been more inquiry for
Bengal, particularly for good to fine white descriptions, but owing to
a higher rate of duty being claimed by the Customs, holders have
withdrawn their stocks for the present. Bengal, chiefly strong grain
and Kbaur, and Mauritius, have sold from 3.5 e. to 475. per cat.; white
Bevan.% at 603:6d. per cwt., duty paid.-Molasses : The trade are very
unwilling to purchase without a tbrther reduction In price.-Ooffee
The sales of Jamaica limited, without change in price ; ordinary native
Ceylon reported at 375. per cat.: There has been a speculative
demand for foreign Coffee, and laguayra have been solo, chiefly at
40s. to 50e.; Costa Rica, at 355. to 505.; damaged Rio brought 295.

British Possess ...one in America, computed from the returns made 1
the week ending the 21th day of November, 184$, is 34e. 41d. per eat.

produce of the Last Indies, is 355. Gld. per cat. The average price
of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar, jointly, is 335. 10id. per
cwt.
WORSTED STUFFS, ffc.-BRADFORD, Nov. 211.-We had another
very dull market to-day. There was about an average attendance of
merchants, but they bought eery] sparingly, their purchases being
chiefly confined to heavy geode, which are seldom out of mamma The
menet...timers complain heavily of the lowness of prises ; and in this
they are juiced by the spinners, who say that they can ecorcely realise
their own, much less make a profit. The principal eakw of yarn were
for home consumption ; consequently the transactions were of limited
extent. The Wool market was pretty well aupplied, but, in the
absence of demand, prices were scarcely so firm as of late.
BLANKETS.-Ilicamosewlec, Noy. 213.-Owing tea slackening in
the demand for blankets in the warehouses of the merchants, there
VW but a thin attendance of buyers here today, and the businews done
in the Blanket Mall was not so extensive as of late. Prices remained
firm, notwithstanding.
110SIERT AND LACE TRADF.S.-Nov. 27.-The condition of the
cotton hosiery trade in any of its branches, whether wrought, cut-up,
or fancy stockings, has net Improved; at present scarcely any English
made cotton how are consumed in France, Spain, or Austria, they
being rigorously prohibited. The drawer and pantaloon branch is
extremely dull. The silk glove trade is in much the same state.-
The lace trade, both bobbin and warp, continue.' in a very depressed
state. In despite of this, =thin,* still keep up in price, nd what is
more sarprieing, Once the repet:l of the law atmin.st the exportseion of
