profitable job of it. The prisoner prepeeed that they should
go with a letter, purporting to the from her son, who was
abroad ; and when they had gained admiraion, they were to
put a sack over her and Usher down, and if she resisted to
cut her throat. ~mother meeting was arranged, and, in
the mean time, ietormation was given to the police. When
the y again met, Bennet introduced Whittaker, as willing to
assist iti the job. The prisoner gave them orders on slips of
paper produced, and they met on Tuesday morning, and
were joined by a man named Griffith, who was partly in the
secret, and they proceeded together to Stepney. The pri-
soner did not co to the house, but the others went,
and, alter being at first answered through a wicket,
were admitted and the old lady was so pleased at the letter
that she gave them six crown pieces for their trouble ; with
this they returni d, and gave two to the prisoner, who asked
why they did not ransack the house, as they had gained ad-
mivance. The officer, who was near, was then called, but
refused to take the prisonir in charge. They returned to the
house and told the old lady that the letter was a forgery, and
explained the case to her. She gave them 30s. for their
trouble ; Itts. of this was given to the officer. On Thursday
the officer called, and said if the prisoner could be found he
would apprehend him, which he did on accidentally meeting
him yesterday. The prisoner made a rambling denial of the
charge, and was remand, d, Mr. Jardine gieing directions
for the apprehension of the man Griffith, if he could be
found.
WORSHIP.STREET.—COMMITTAL OP A PUBLICAN.—
J. Press, a deep:nen in the service of Nears. Truman, Han.
bury, and Co., the brewers, and Mr. lt. Pratt, landlord of
the Crown and Anther public-house, Cheshire-street, Beth-
nal-green, were finally exemined, the former charged with
having stolen, and the latter feloniously received, a kilderkin
of ale, the property of the above firm. The facts of the case
appeared in our paper of Wednesday lase—Some further
evidence of a purely formal character was gone into, and the
prisoners, who expressed their intention to reserve their do.
fence, were both fully committed ; but the magistrate con-
sented to allow the bail already put in to be extended for
their appearance.
SOUTH WA BK.—CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO POISON
A WIFE.—J. Marshall was re-examined, charged with at-
tempting to poison his wife, by infusing tobacco in a glass
of ale.—Since the last examination, a portion of the snuff
purchased by the prisoner on the night it is alleged he had
mixed the article in the ale which ho gave his wife to
drink, was analysed, and was found so adulterated wi'h
other ingredients as to render it comparatively innocuous.
It was impcesible, however, to discover what quantity of the
snuff had been infused in the ale; but it was stated by the
medical man, that, had not the stomach-pump been promptly
used, the consequemes might have resulted in the woman's
death.—The wife, who appeared as an unwilling witness in
the case, stated that she had no wish to press the charge
that all she required was that the prisoner would keep sway
from her, as she never intended to reside under the same roof
with him.—The prisoner seseverated that he never had any
intention of injuring his wife, and added that he bad only
purchased a halfpennyworth of snuff, only a email portion
of which he put into the ale, and that it was done more out
of a foolish freak, when he was intoxicated, than to make
her ill—that if such a notion es poisoning his wife entered
his head, it would not be supposed that he would merely
have dropped a pinch or two of snuff into the ale which abe
drank.—Mr. Cottingham adjudged him to find 'sureties to
r.ppear at the next sessions to answer the charge if the com-
plainant thought proper to prosecute, and that he should
also make him enter into his recognisance to keep the peace.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENING.

The mercantile community was this morning sub-
ject to another severe shock, as regards the state of
private credit We noticed, in our last City article,
the very significant fact that the Consol market had
experienced, in the course of yesterday, a sudden and
most important decline, the cause of which could not
be satisfactorily explained. The change, however, is
no longer a matter of speculation. At an
early hour of the forenoon to-day it be-
came a subject of notoriety, that the old and in-
fluential establishment of Messrs. Reid, Irving, and
Co. had been unable to meet its engagements. By
this calamity another name is added to those of the
Bank direction who have been reduced, by the crisis,
to a state of embarrassment. Sir John Rae Reid,
_ . .

Bart., has been long a director of the institution, and
it is not many years since he filled the office of
governor. The extent of the liabilities of the
house cannot, at present, be ascertained, bat
it must necessarily be very large. The struggle
made to uphold its credit has been very severe
during the whole of the week, and it was con-
fidently hoped, at one time, that its difficulties might
have been overcome. It is understood that the pres-
sure, even so many days back as Monday last, was
intense. From all accounts, the house suffers by
its transactions with the Mauritius and Cuba, which
involve an amount of capital little short of three
quarters of a million sterling, so large are its depen-
dencies in those parts of the world. As East India
and West India merchants, Messrs. Reid, Irving, and
Co., were certainly among the first of their class.
Consols were additionally depressed by the open
announcement of this further and very serious case of
suspension, particularly as it was feared that others
of scarcely less importance might follow. The dis-
trust which prevailed was so great that apprehen-
sions the most gloomy, but, in many instances, the
most absurd, were indulged in. The closing prices of
Console were 85i for money, and 851 (buyers) for
account ; Exchequer Bills, 3s. to 6s. prem.
The foreign funds commanded as little attention as
they did yesterday, unless it were on the part et
sellers, who gave way to increased alarms, from the
knowledge they bad that Messrs. Reid, Irving, and
Co. have been for years acting as the financial repre-
sentatives, or agents, of several foreign governments.

MEETINGS. BOULOOlelit Alen A MIENS. Special
Meet, of 1.0,1110“ Sluveholders.—Landon, eeptember 17.—Mr.
Macgregor (Mairtnan of the South Menem) In the chair.— The
meeting wan held to nominate s committee to cothaerate with
the committee appointed at the meeting at Liverpool on the 14th
Instant, In obtainieg a reform In the direction and manage-
facet of the company, and otherwise to prod et the internee of
the proprietore—The Chairman, in opening the business of the
meeting, stated that the principal part of the capital for the Bou-
logne and Arming Hallway had been mbecribed by the proprietors of
the South }astern line, of which, in his new, it wee a prolongstWn or
extenoim, and one of the great seems of revenue they had in view
Isom that line was taiginally constructed. One mullion and a half of ,
capital had been pad op, five.oixths of which the Ithelieh pro-
prietors had contributed. It toss because they were diatatinited with the
management of that capital that they were then met together. They
required the directors to explain the ea tee of the delay which bad
taken place in opening the line and to Metro, them bow the oneeyy
wLich had not been expended In its eoneruction bad been empcyea.
There were two of the directors prevent, from whom they m t
expect such ineirmation as they could give. The object sow was to
appoint a committer to inquire into and report upon the management
and mat proceediees of the board, and mine- whether the direction
as at prweat constituted mut one to which the confidence of the pro-
rietore could be continued. A similar meeting bad already hen
held in the north of England, where much of the Mock was held, at
which certain rerolutions were pawed, which Mr. Beloe would now
replete to them.—Mr. Bee* stated what haul occurred at the meeting
held to layertema on the 14th lent. (reported in the Daily Nem* of the
15thj, and samplath- d of the capital netted cep—beyond what
am received for the worka—being transferred from England,
where it might have ben profitably inV4sted, to France where it was
lyieg idle. The accounts Mowed a balance of cash in html (not
wear aim) of 8,300,000 fror.c• Weide, 2,132,000 Blows balance at the
bankers'. Here woe almost (new,
of cash in hand, from • Melt
little er to interne was derived.—Mr. Devearth, one of the directors
preen, having been called upon by the Chairman, stated that from
what lie had seen of the works, and the report of the engineer, he
believed the line mold be opened to Boulogne early next ye tr. With
regard to the funds, three must be some ntiotake in the report which
Ltd hn-n quieted. 'lke directors had never had no mach c sit in hand
as 3.000,000 franca. That amount referred to securities lying in the
company's box, not cult. This was proved by a reference to the re-
port no pubashed originally in French, where it WAS entered as er-
emitic,; but in the English rendon, by a miatranolation, the word
molt was sabotauted for securitiem. The bankers by whom the
funds of the company were managed paid inter, st for the use of tee
money varying from 21 to 4 per rent., according to the date of the
market. Ile bad long felt ft deoirable that come r. feral in the
direction should tithe place, and he had endeavaired to have it put
down ev an neuter of the day for the next general meeting, that that
subject should he takco into comideration; but that had been refereed.
When he lot Prance he tell it his duty to call on the ehareholdere to
take measure* for investigating the affairs of the company, in regard
to Its management ' • and airs he had been in England be had can-
e:semi many of them with that view, Ile had been anxious that
ample DOWC of thin meeting should be given to hit colleague, in I
Frthce, In order that they might he present to give each elplanalions
as they might with, but that he bad found to be impracticable.
Serioue differeueee of opinion had arben amongst the (Heenan, and
certalu alterations had been made in the management, In coneequence
of representations which he mid othere had made. Ilie connction,
however, was, that a total reform in the constitution of the hoard was
neeeraary. The Paris section of the direction, by whom the
affairs of the company were managed, cornietM of three
peewee at. C. lailltte' M. Blount, and Nt. St. Paul, the
first two being the banker, who had the control of the
cemthany's hand.. Such a constitution he considered unsound in
principle, and anomalous in practice. lie had jemmied to alter title,
and had suggested, at the meeting in Augu-t, that it should be a
subject for discussion, as an order of the day, at the next meeting in
October, that three additional members mailing in Faris should be
added to the board. Ile h tit, however, received no answer to that
proposition, and inferred it had been refmni. By the law of France
it wan not nomenary that the resident directors should to Frenchmen.
Ile also thought it would be deeirable—and in this be found he was
mpported by every shareholder he had spoken is in England
transfer the neat of the ditectors from l'aie to Boulogne. This
would require an aPeration of the statutes, which might easily be
obtained Iron the coulee of Mate. Boulogne would be the more
convenient place for the obareholdere to attend, and abo for the
efficient management of the Line. Ile had received a note from
Mr. Bthenciale, another of the English directors, who woo unable
to attend, offering to anoint in the objects of the meeting.—
Capt. Meade, the other director present, confirmed generally the
views and etatementh of his colleague; and in answer to venom qua-
tions, it was explained that the securities upon which the capital had
been lent were principally bike on Paris or Lyme homes, endorsed by
Lutlttee, the tanker.. Ivy the law of France the company were ob-
liged to make the calls in the fleet Instance, which mss the came afro
much more capital being accumulated than was required to defray the
expctee of the works front time to time. The engineering difficulties
at two or three loins of the line which haul muted delay (one of
which was at Abbeville, where the line, interfered with the fondle:a-
Bono, about which the Ferech goverment, though enriching bat little
importance to them before, had become exceedingly jealous risen the
difference with England 1a regard to the Spanish marriages) were
now nearly surmounted, and in five or six weeks it was expected that
the line would be completed to Nene., about nix or emit milesfront
Boulogne, and throughout by the beginning of 1848. The money in
hand woe emceeing to the engineer, more than sullicient to fluish
the works. It was alleged by some of the shareholders that the con-
tractor for the earthwork, Mr. Mackanate, had been instructed not to
proceed no tut, and that he had been put mel,. delayed by the con-
tractor for the masonry. Thin, however, was denied by bath Captain
Tyndale and Mr. Devaux, though It wes admitted that one of the sub-
engineers haul told the contractor he was going too fast. The contract
to the masonry was not given, es usual, to the cm:retrieve fur the
earthwork, home. e in this can his price for it mat much higher than
that of a competitor.—Mr. Pritchard, a shareholder, inquired whether
the Paris directers had not more interne in the Rouen and Havre
and Dieppe and Ileum lines than in the Boulogne and Amalie t —Mr.
Devout said it was true that M. Laflue was chairman of the Rouen
and Haere, and that M. BI .unt was a director of the Dieppe and
Rouen ; but it wes not considered by the former that than would be
competing lines with the Boulogne and Amiens). The large amount
allowed to the Paris directors fur their attendance, and their manner
al transacting thc beainese of the board —ternetiMeal the whole businese
beteg performed by M. Blount or M. Laßue, bath of whom are part-
ners in the house of C. Loam and Co., the company's hankers—were
also subjects of animmivention by several oltarchedders ; sad an opi-
nion was pretty generally expressed in favour of removing the seat of
the directors to Itoulogoe on being more convenient to the great body
of the shareholders. The following resolutions were carried unani-
mously I. That thia meeting of ehareholders will not exonerate any of
the directors of the Boulogne and Amiens Railway front their responsi-
bility as nudecn of the property of the company. 2. That s 0011111144.3
of shareholders be formed to protect the Interest., of the shareholders,
consisting of the following gentlemen, with power to add to their
numbers ; —Messrs. J. Macgregor, M. L. Pritchard, M. Warren, J.
Broaden, hi. Utley, W. Oliver, W. G. Thompson, and Ronald. 3.
That it be an injunction to the committee to ',mensal in what manner
the cash balances of the company have been, and continue to be, em-
ployed by the director., and generally to offer to the proprietors their
sume snow, for the improvement of the stetutes and management of
the company:—After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting
separated, and thee xamittee at noes estert d upon their duties.

IMMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTlON.—Actoetrried Spe-
cial Meeringh—Btratingliarri, Sept. 17.—Mr. P. 11. Monte in the
chair.—The chairman having intimated that in mosequeoce of cer-
tain arrangements between the litigant parties, it wee propoved to
further adjourn the promedlnge, to,. Morley rote and raid that in
pursuance of the arrangements referred to by Mr. Monte. it would he
waneoemary fur him, to enter into observations not immediately
within the mope of the proceedings on which they had assembled. An
agreement had been entered into between the Great Western Com-
pany and the parties opposed to the pro:cedilla.; and the confoquenee
was that two putts had been filed in Clianeery—one by the Great
Western Company against the shareholders to enforce the performance
of the contnset which had been entered into, the other by the Marc.
holder. against the directors; and it had been mutually determ,ned that
the suits at Mime should come on fur bearing before the Lord Chun-
cello at the earliest possible period, and the real question at issue
would be decided it was that question which he Lad alweye con-
tended woo the basis of the whole dispute, namely, whether the wale
made on the Orb of December was a valid one or not. In the event of
that decision being baulk to these shareholders with whom he wan
acting, the Great Wader, Comp my would not eeperience any hostility
Iran b;m to the carrying out or the at rengements, nor would obstacles
be thrown in the way by him 60 long as there was a purpose to
fairly and properly carry out the agreement; at the fume lime, in the
event of this being in any manner departed from, he risereed to
himself the right to take any course be might deem expedient under
the ultra cacummancee which might be adopted. The cults could not
I now come on for hearing before the 2nd of November, but If, as he
believed would be the cam, all the par tics concurred in ailiciteg an
early decision, that would he obtained on an early day, probably rot
later than the 15th of November—to the day after will• b it was pro-
weed to aojourn this me Log. It was (he mid) widen the know-
ledge of the directors that et a board meeting he had intimated his
purport to move that thin meeting adjourn to Liverpool, but in conse-
quence of eircumehment which had once taken place, he alluded eepe-
eially to the efforts which had been made by the chairman and
some of the directors to bring about certain arrangemenM,
be waived his right to change the pia e of meeting from a feeling or
respect to Mr. Monte, and a eispedition to consult hisconvenienee and
the convenienee of other gentlemen on the board of directors. Ile
had• word to say upon another eubject—cne not referred to in his re.
solution ; but he wished to make this publiciteclaration of his opinion,
that not only ought calls not to be paid, but that shareholders ought
not to be called upon to pay them under existing circumstances, nor
until the matters now in dispute Lad been decided. Mr. Money con-
cluded by moving "That this meeting he, and the same is hereby, ad-
journed until Tuealav, the 10th day of November neat, at 3 o'cOck in
the afternoon at Dee's Bond Hotel. Birmingham, when the conside-
ration of all and singular the matters mentioned and referred to in the
requieition of the lath dayof April last, under which this meeting is
held, will be resumed if neot scary."--Me. J. M. Persona amended the
resolution, which was put by the chairman andpmeed unanimously.
AIRDRIE AND lIATROATY.—A /MHO/ difeeting.—Olasgow,
Sept. 14.—Mr. J. L. Ewing in the chair.—Tne directors' report con-
tained a mirnitive of their proceedings in parliament Lot session, and
an intimation As to the directors and auditor who went out in rotation.
In addition it contained the following passage aspect:al intereot "As
explidned in the report to the last half-yearly ordinary meeting:a deed
of transfer and conveyance m favour of the Edinburgh and Ulaegow
Company was prepared and submitted to their agents for revisal, but
it has not yet been dually adjusted. Your directors were of opinion
that that company was bound, at one and too same time with delivery
of the deed of transfer, to execute and allocate the stock provided for
by the act, and accordingly a elaiwe wee inserted in the draft, bear-
ing that such mock had been created and allocated. To this datum
the agent of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company objected,
and struck it out, inserting in its place an obligation merely to
create such stock after the delivery of the conveyance. On tlde point
your director. have taken the opinion of eminent counsel, and are
advised that the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company ere
bound, eimultanewialy with receiving delivery of the deed of transfer,
to create end allocate stock and deliver certilicates to the shareholder.
of the Airdrie and Bathgate Junction Railway Company, in terms of
the net, and that your directors are not hound or entitled to grant the
conveyance, on a mere recital therein of the Edinburgh and Glasgow
Company being bound de Moro to do ao. Your directors have,
therefore, air! as advised by counsel, called on the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Company, under form of notarial protest, to create and
allocate stock In exchange for, and simultanc Dusty with, delivery of
the deed of traneftr and conveyance, in terms of the statute."—
The n tiring directors were Weer, A. Buchaaan, J. Reid, and
A. Bergen. On the motion for .their re-election being made, a
-enter.motion was made that Meant 11. Dublop,J. O. Adams, and
•-e,
be elected in their room. Hereupon 10068 the following
