DIRECT EXETER, PLYMOUTH, AND DEVONPORT
RAILWAY.—On Saturday, a meeting in this matter was
held before the Master in Chancery Sir William Horne, to
make a call of 400/. each on the members of the managing
committee, and which had been suspended during the
pendency of an appeal refused the other day by the court
above, to have the order fur winding-up the company dis-
charged. Mr. Roxburgh and Mr. Hope, in resuming the
application for this call, to meet the coats incurred by the
official manager and other matters, amounting to 2,0001.,
explained the liability of the parties to meet it, Mr. Terrell,
who appeared on their behalf, opposing it. The Master,
in giving judgment, said it was clear from the state
of the company's affairs that there was an urgent necessity
for some money, and that these gentlemen in any event
must be liable for the debts incurred. He considered also
they had made themselves liable, by the peculiar part they
had taken in the transactions, having, in the first instance,
presented a petition to the court, praying that the company
might be wound up,and then , after it had been determined that
they alone were liable to pay the debts, presenting a second
petition which had been dismissed with costs, praying that
the order for winding up might be discharged and the pro-
ceedings declare' void. They had also, it would appear,
in the proceedings .for winding up, endeavoured, in their
own relief, to extend the liability to as many others as they
possibly could, and under these circumstances he should
make the call on the six members of the managing com-
mittee.

W. Egerton to Britannia; Midshipman Edward Hawes to
Impregnable ; Acting Assistant-Surgeon Richard Evans to
Victory: Muter James Tonkin to Waterloo.

MARK-LANE.-THIS DAY.

The supply of English Wheat at market this morning was
but moderate, and the condition of seine of the samples
was more or Ices affected by the damp state of
the weather. Good dry parcels were readily disposed
of at prices fully equal to those of last Monday, but ill-con-
ditiamed samples hung on hand, factors being ;unwilling to
make any concessions. Foreign Wheat sold in retail at late
rates.

Choice qualities of malting Barley maintained their value.
but secondwy sorts of malting and distillicg were emier to
purchase.
Oats were in moderato supply, nevertheless the dealers
acted with great caution, and merely purchased sufficient
for their immediate wants, and prices were with dithculty
supported.
Beams and Peas were each Is. per qr. cheaper.
