The recent measure of the home government, abu-
tting the protective duties on sugar, appears to have
lied considerable sensation throughout the West
; yet lees, perhaps, than might have been
ted. Where labour is abundant, apprehension
great, but where this is scarce, the antieipa-
..ins are very gloomy. The following is from a
Demarara journal :
" This year cannot be taken as the test either of price or
of production. But we know perfectly well that while sugar,
equal in quality •o our own, can be purchased in ordinary
seasons in Cubs at '2l cents. per pound, we cannot
produce it with our present means under 8 cents. It
becomes consequently a thing involving our very ex-
istence, that the means of competition on equal
terms should be put within our reach. These are, such
an amount of immigration as to ensure eontincous
labour; and that in the mother country we should he
put on terms of equality with the British fanner. We
wish the world opened to us as a labour market. We are
more espec;ally desirous of drawing onr supply from the
hordes on the continnnt of Africa. We have provided the
means. The Loan Bill, without the gaurmte? of Parlia-
ment. is he'd by the English capitalist a sufficient security,
and the money is ready whenever it is required. Let us
press on them for safety. Let us wring justice from the
hands of the Ministry by appeals to Parliament and the
British people.

The annexed is extracted from the Impartial de
Smyrne :—" Just as we were going to press, we were
informed that the English brig-of-war Syren, com-
manded by Lieutenant Lvoss, son of the British
%niter at Athens, had captured four pirate-boats
mounted by fit) men. This intelligence is not official ;
but we have reason to believe that it will be confirmed.
The Syren was at Scio, when the master of a boat
just arriving from the south, apprised Lieutenant
LYONS of his having been arrested and robbed by
pirates in the environs of Stanchio. The commander
of the Syren immediately put to sea with two of the
men, who conducted him to a small island, near Stan-
chio, where the pirates were seized, chained, and
removed on board the Syrcn. That important capture
will no doubt clear the Archipelago, and Lieutenant
Lvoss has thereby rendered an immense service to
our commerce.

Loss OF MAIL ‘GS.—NEWBUItY, SUNDIIr.—On
the arrival of the mail-cart from the Swindon station this
morning, it was found that the bag containing the letters,
&e. for Aldermaston, and other places around here, was
tnis.ing. Immediately the man was dispatched hark to
mike inquiries, when no tidints could be had of the acme.
Several large dealers were at the Hind's Head Inn, Alder-
maston, awaiting the mail, which should arrive at ten
o'clock, when it did not arrive till on o'clock, and then
without the letters and papers so anxiously looked for. It
is feared the lens will he severely felt, as to-morrow (Monday)
being the great Reading horse, beast, and cheese fair, many
of the large rattle dealers stop at Aldermaston the day
before, it being ten miles only front the fair. At this place
the stock rest, and monty, with other omens, are transmitted
to the dealers. The greatest consternation wan evidently
otwervAte or Mc countenance, or all, so greatly th.arpeinted,
sonic being only commission agents, are now at a loss to
know how to act ; others, who have come to purchase, are
still more alarmed, as, without the necessary funds, they can
do no business.

GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.
The shareholders of this eompanv met to-day at
one o'clock, and it having appeared that no member of the
provisional committee was pres mt,
Mr. MANHERT was called to the chair.
Mr. SPAI.KMAN read the requisition sent to the committee,
calling upon them to convene a meeting to consider whether
the company should be dissolved or not, with which.
he said, they having either refused or neglected
to comply, notice was then served on them to the
effect that this meeting would be held. It would now be
for this meeting to decide upon two important questions,
namely, whether the company should be dissolved, and if so,
whether it should be dissolved under an act of bankruptcy.
As there was no member of the committee now present, the
required information could not he obtained from them, and
therefore it would now he for this meeting to decide upon
what course they would adopt.
Messrs. Spaciman, Cohen, and Bumby having been
appointed scrutineers,
The CHAIRMAN said, in answer to a question from a
shareholder, that he was of opinion that this was a legal
meeting, although the committee said it was not.
The same Shareholder went on to say that he had seen a
legal opinion which was to the tffcet that this was not a
legal meeting, and therefore he would su"eest whether it
would be wise or prudent to take a step more, which might
involve them in future difficulty, when they had before them
the fact that the Directors were about to hold a meeting
within two days, when he understood that every infor-
mation would he afforded them. He concluded by moving
that the meeting should be adjourned, as he understood that
the Directors had complied with the act, by publishing ete
required advertisement as soon as it was practicable, after
the expiration of the six days.
Mr. SI`AeRMAN said that no such advertisement had
ap;r•red.
MALLINSON, of Huddersfield, was opposed to the
amendment.
A Gentleman, who said he represented more than .500
shares, said he had seen the secretary that morning, and he
was very courteous to him, and told him that the directors
were also for a dissolution, and therefore he would support
the motion for an adjournment.
Mr. Se ICKM ,o; contended that the meeting called by the
committee was an illegal one, and read the section of the act
on which he relied.
After some short discussion, the question as to a dissolution
was put, and the meeting declared unanimously in favour of
it, hut their being a division as to the question of an act of
bankruptcy, the scrutiny was proceeded with.
