ILFORD PETTY SESSIONS.-Orr. 10.

TILE EARL OF BIORNINGTON AND 1118 TRICANTB.-A
gentleman and lady of the name of Phillips, who hold some
leasehold property at Leytonetone under the Earl of Morn-
ington applied to the magistrate to sign warrantsof ejectment
against two of their tenants, named Dawson and Parker,
who refused to pay rent or give up possession.--Mr. Ashley,
a solicitor, who appearol fur the tenants, said he had to op-
pose the application on the ground that the whole pmceed-
ing which had been taken against his clients were irregular,
and also that an arrangement having been come to between
the parties on a previous occasion when before the magis-
trates, thoso gentlemen could not sign the warrants, but if
Mrs. Phillips wished to proceed she must commence de nue°.
—The agent to Mrs. Phillips mid it was most hard upon
her. She could neither get rent or possession of her pro-
perty, which she held upon lease from the Earl of Morning-
ton.—Mr. Ashley said the Earl of Momington had no
power whatever to grant lease', as the whole of his estate
was vested in the bands of Trustees for the benefit of
himself and Viscount Wellesley. The lease to Mrs. Phillips
was had, and in order to test the power of the earl to grant
leases, he had commenced an action for trespass against
Mrs. Phillips. Mr. Ashley here read a letter from Messrs.
Coverdale and Co., the solicitors of Bedford-row, addressed
to his clients, in which they stated that the proceedings
against thms were illegal, as Mrs. Phil, s' lease was void ;
also one from the solicitor of the trustees, the Rev. John
Greenly and John Wright, Esq., setting forth their appoint-
ment on the 15th of December, 1834, and giving notice that
the trustees alone Lad the power of receiving rents, and
ordering all such rents to be paid to Mr. Henry Appleby,
of Vauxhall, the collector.—The magistrates declined to re-
openthe case by signing the warrants, on the ground that it
was settled, when before them on a previous occasion, by an
arrangement between the parties, which, if not carried out
by either, was not the fault of the rcagistrates, who could
not intarlere without proceedings are commenced against
the tenants in possession afresh.

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY EVZNING.

The Conaol market remains with scarcely any change,
the fluctuations of the day being limited to „ I,er cent. each
way upon prices. At the close of business, Consuls were
quoted 9d fur money and time. Exchequer Bills 15s. to
18s. premium. The transactions were not of importance.
The government broker touk 4,0001. Reduced Three per
Cents. at 94„. ex dividend, and 7,0001. of Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. at 961, ex dividend, for savinp' banks
life annuities. . . . . . .

The operations of the foreign house centered chiefly in
Mexican stock. The bonds were done as low as 221, and it
is said even so low as 22. A silly report intro of the morning
pliers, about the conclusion of peace betwixt the United
States and Mexico, of a very doubtful character, raised the
prices to 24 and above. but eventually they left off at 231

Mrstreax LOAN AFFATILS.—A deputation of bondholders,
or of the Spanish American Committee, waited, it is said,
upon Messrs. Schneider, the Mexican Finance Agents, to-
day, to request some explanations about the present state
and prospects of Mexican debt. The agents are said to
have been civilly short in their answer, By-and-bye, per-
haps, they will condescend to be more explicit, if the bond.
holders, uniting in their common interest, shall take the
necessary steps to compel a disclosure.
Two of the morning papers inserted a document of a very
apocryphal character, stating that conditions of peace, and
citing the terms, were agreed between Mexico and the
United States. The Morning I'ost gave this communication
with proper reserve, and an evident misgiving as to its
authenticity. But the Morning Chronicle clothed with the
authority of large type and leads (that is, spaces) the intro-
ductory remarks upon it, as if really authentic and impor-
tant, announcing that it was received at Havre, by seen/net
from Vera Cruz. What steamer it was is not stated.
Mexico has two steamers certainly, but they are blocked
up. No English steamer certainly could have gone
to Havre, supposing there was one available on the
station, which there was not. The Americana had
no steamers there which could be despatchable for Europe
the French had none there at all, it is understood. The
steamer from Vera Cruz at Ilavre is so far, therefore, in
nubibus, and an affair which is rank of stock exchange or
Mexican loan construction. The document, it is clear, was
sent as a circular upon chance to all the morning papas,
without the proper authentication, and found one baiever
only in the Morning Chronicle. It answered to some extent
the end of its concoctors, as will be seen by the sadden rise
in Mexican bonds..

Messrs. Schneiders are loth to enter into any explanati

shout Mexican loan affairs; H. E.'Senor Murphy, the late
envoy of the republic, by whom the discreditable conversion
scheme was authorised, appears to be more costive still. lie
has been called upon by his trivernment, in a despatch which
is no secret, to publish the fact in the press (la Prows
Ingkaa) that, in sanctioning that conversion, he had
exceeded his powers and recorded instructions. Since
Murphy, however, has hitherto made no sign, it would beast
well that he should go through the disagreeable business as
gracefully as possible, or, whoa the days of grace are past,
the office may he undertaken without his assistance,
We have setn letters from Vera Cruz of the Ist of Sep-
tember, and there is a gentleman in town who left at that
date. He saw Santa Anna on that day, we believe, who had
certainly received despatches from Washington, but without
opening forwarded them to Mexico at once, to the ministry
thero for their consideration. '

RAILWAY NEWS.
We have had a fair business to day in scrips and
shares, and generally a cheerful market, 'York and New-
castle new shares were done at higher rates, as as 1 and
14. and inquired for. Among other lines North StaZordshire
and Leithster and Bedford, were well supported, ant! in
Caledonians an advance took p'ace and was maintained.
There was a marked improvement in the Liverpool share-
market yesterday moraiag, and quotai as -zero higher ;n
many instances. There wee good buyers of bath London
and North We,:em and Mid'and Stock at the close of the
market. The better description of New Stocks also closed
better; Liverpool and Ormskirk, buyers at 21 pm., Birming-
ham and Oxford, 31.
At Manche' cr there was quite a reaction in the share
market. A la•ge business was done, and prices were gene-
rally marked I igher.
The market at Birmingham was again tolerably buoyant :
this was to be attributed mainly to the announcement of a
meeting for the 30th, to consider the propriety of an smal-
-1 garnation of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction and Bir-
mingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley lines. There can
be no doubt but that the amalgamationi wit be effected, and
as a necessary consequent:: Dudleys ; the rise in the value of
that scrip, noticed in our paper of yesterday, was continued.
There were transactions at the first meet:ng in the line at 21,
and the second at 635. 9d. pm. ; there were sales in the Bir-
mingham and Oxford Junction at 3i pm. ; in Shropshire
Unions at 3s. 91. dis ; and in Oxford, Vs orcester, and Wol-
verhamptons at 64 dia.
At Leeds the market was very hiisk, and a good business
was transacted at a decided improvement in price in some of
the lines. Leeds and Thirsks advanced is. Gd. Manchester
and Leeds Extension?, 9s. Leeds and Dewsburys, Gs. East
and West ltiding,los. Ambeugates, 39. Orinek:rks, 12s. Gd.;
and West Riding Union, 4, per share each more. The
transactions in other lines not quoted were firm, but without
any material advance.
There was little variation in prices in the Glasgow share
market last week. The tendency was still downwards. An
occasional correspondent in that city remarks: " Without
denying that railway shares have been depressed from other
causes, I must attribute no small share in the depretoiou to
sales of old stocks in particular lines, iu order to re-invest in
other shares of the same concern. In North-western, for
example, we know of stock sold simply for this purpose, the ,
order bearing no matter what the price, prov Led the shares
to be re-invested in tell proportionally. The effect of such I
operations upon North-westera stock must be obvious, and
similar operations have no doubt been effected in other
stocks, not on'y affecting each individually, but influencing
generally the tone of the whole market.

Ron representing the south-Western Railway, and consisting Of Mr.
Chaplin, the chairman; Mr. Campbell, the secrelary ; Mr. Trams-
end and Mr. Iletley, of Salisbury; and Mr. Ilubbersty, assistant
engineer, are now in the west of England, visiting all the towns on
the route of the proposal line from Salisbury to Exeter, and front
thence to Falmouth. They intend to call on all the landowners whose
property will be interfered with by the line, and also on all the prin-
c;pol inlabimnts of the towns by which it passes, and, by endea-
vouring to meet their wants and wishes, to make the progress of the
bill (for which the South-Western have determin• d to apply) a leas
formidable affair than it was last session, fi lien ths.usands of pounds
were spent to meet the opposition of the Great Western. They have
already called together many of the principal inhabitants of Shaftes-
bury, Sherburne, Yeovil, &c., and have been hitherto successful in
their efforts.

EXTENSION OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH ON THE
EAsTsizx COUNTIE, RAILWAY 10 LITERPOOL, &c.—Preparations arc
making for effecting a communication vib Eastern Counties Railway
by electric telegraph, between London and Liverpool. Between Ely
and Peterborough the wires are already flied ; and in the opinion of
Mr. Powell, the augerintendent, the whole length between London
and Liverpool will be completed in less than two months. From Ely,
the wires will ran to Stamford, Cyst n, and Derby, proceeding, by the
western branch of the Midland railway to Birmingham, and from thence
to Liverpool. When completed, ameasagewill be enalged tobe conveyed
to and from Liverpool in 8 minutes. A communication will also be
opened with York, Newcastle, Hull, Leeds, lie., by means of the
northern branch of the Midland. Southward of London, the electric tele-
graph will be carried along the North Woolwich line, which will
shortly be opened for traffic, and, passing under the Thames by means
of the sub-marine telegraph, form a communication between al oolwieh
Dockyard and Liverpool. On the completion of the Thames lUiven and
North Gravesend line, it is the intention of the company to effect, if
possible, by means of the electric and submarine telegraphs, a oonunu-
nication with Shiernesa Dockyard.
FRANCE.—A pretty general wish for the construction
of the Central Railway of France, from Limoges to the wroth, has
been expressed by the inhabitants af Dordogne. The Council for t.c
Cite d'Or have advised the construction of a railway from Dijon to
Langres, which will shorten by about 25 kilometres the line from
Langres to Chalon, through Gray and Almanac. A report has been
presented from the Department of the Marne in favour of a line
itom Reims to the frontiers of Belgium, through Rocroy. M. de
Kenneled, at the request of the coined general of the Haute Garonne,
has reported in favour of a railway from Toulouse to Bayonne, as the
basis of that which must unite France and Spain across the Pyrenees.
RAILWAY STATIONS.—The largest station in Franca is
that of the Orleans Railway at Paris it covers a space of 249,021
square manes. The station of St. Lazare at Paris, for the St. Ger-
maimi, Rouen, and Versailles Railway, covers a space of 34,700 square
metres ; great additions are being made. The great central station
at 31alines corers 130,000 square metres. The largest atation in Eng-
land is Pricklayers' Arms, on the London and Dover line; it covers
' ft7.o,ogeluare metres. nix station is regarded as one of the beat
as yet constructed. For merchandise, the most important
station is that of the Batignottes, belonging to the Rouen company.
It corers a space of 112,700 square metres. In England, that of
Camden Town, on the ILondon and Birmingham line, can alone
be compared to that of the 15.itignottes. The smallest station is
that of Birmingham, which only takes up 13,500 square metres.
The largest ateliers are those of the Orleans company in France, at
