EASTERN COUNTIES.

Meeting of Shareholders.—White Hart Inn, B shopegate,
March 19.—T. Witsox, Esq., in the chair.—This meeting
was held for the purpose of considering certain resolutions to
be brought forward by the committee of "the Eastern Cou-
nties Railway Shareholders' Protection Association."
The CHAIRMAN, after commenting on the advantages
likely to accrue from the association, submitted a document
explanatory of its objects and Intentions.
'Various resolutions were then submitted ; the first of
which was in condemnation of the polity of the direc-
tors in uniting themselves to unprofitable branches of
railway, without sufficiently consulting the shareholders;
the second was a vote of censure on the directors for
not taking means to prevent the second reading, on
Monday last, of the bill now in the H owe of
Commons to effect an amalgamation with the Norfolk Com-
pany, after the decision against it at the last half-yearly
meeting by a majority of 6,639 votes ; the third was that the
meeting petition the House of Commons against the amalga-
mation with the Norfolk Railway, and for leave to oppose
the bill in the committee ; and the fourth was for the adop-
tion of the petition.
Mr. Lows, Mr. KREMS, Mr. Box, Mr. EMIONDIS and
others urged the shareholders to join the society for the pro-
tection of their own interests.

Mr DANFORD thought the proceedings now taken
would only be a fores'alling of the report of the committee
already appetated to go into the affairs of the company.
Mr. MACPFIAIL defended the emaciation, sod pointed
out trite 'MINIM depreciation which would fall on the conso-
lidated stook, if the amalgamation with the Noriolk and
Newmarket Companies were carried for want of timely op-
position oa the part of the shareholders.
Mr. DANFORD said that thebille must come again before
the shareholders to be ratified by them.
Mr. BOX wished to impress on the minds of the share-
holders that this association did not mean to interfere with
the committee of inquiry, but would merely deliberate upon
its report before it should go to the half-yearly meeting.
Mr. LEE submitted that the petition should merely point
out to the committee of the House of Commons that the
directors had been requested by the vote of a great majority
of a general meeting to withdraw the bill for the amalgams-
' lion, which, not having been regardedu by them, the share-
holders begged the committee to reject the bill themselves.
The petition to the House of Commons was agreed to be
amended in the mode suggested by Mr. Lee, and, having
been numerously signed, the meeting wu adjourned.

event of this being granted, they would adjourn the

TRANSPORTATION TO THE CAPE OF GOOD

HOPE.

Lord STANLEY rose for the purpose of putties a ques-
tion to the noble lord the Secretary foe tire Colonies, of
which he had liven him notice pnvately. In a discussion
which touk plass incidentally the other day he understood
the noble earl to state that instructions had been sent over to
the Cape of Good Hope to receive a number of convict.
from Strand., and the noble earl then said that although
the subject had excited considerable disapprobation at the
Cape, be felt it his duty to adhere to the determination
which he had come to. The question which he wished b
put to the noble earl was, whether any despatches on the
subject had been received, and, if so, whether the noble earl
would object to by on the table @eines of the correspondence
betweea the government of the Cape and her kl,jesty's go-
vernment on the subject, and also a memorial which he un-
derstood had been presented to the government by the inha-
bitant. of the Cape ?

Earl 131111 Y 'Sid, when the discuuion took place to which
the noble lord had alluded he had not received any official
information on the subject ; but he was aware that the step
contemplated hsd been received with disapprobation at the
Cape. Since then ha had received despatches transmitting a
memorial expressing in very strong terms the objections of
the colonists to the reception of convicts. He certainly
could have no objection to the production of the papers.

Adjourned Modirigt--ii;naic,/fiarni 19.—A. AOLIONBT,
BMA., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN intimated that the enemy had not as
yet received from the India House the definitive answer they
had expected. The present, therefore, was merely a formal
meeting for the purpose of further adjournment until 18th
April. The hon. gentleman intimated that, should the de-
finitive reply of the hon. company be received much before the
period named, the directors might probably call a special
meeting for some earlier day, giving ten days' notice thereof.
In reply to Colonel Smith, who suggested that, as political
events might before the expiration of another month, depre-
ciate the property still lower in the market, it would not be de-
sirable to pledge the shareholders to the terms now offered by
the India-house, the hon. Chairman said, that of course the
directors would take no step without the anent of the pro-
prietor,. The meeting then adjourned until 18th April,
unless previously summoned.

THREATENING LETTERS TO THE QUEEN.

At Windsor, yesterday, Jobn Wardle, remanded
from Monday last, was changed before the mayor and two
other magistrates with having sent threatening letters to
her Majesty and other parties.
The prisoner had first written to her Majesty on lan. 18,
1848, when he stated that, unless be and his family obtained
their rights, her Majesty should die by his hands. This
'letter was sent down to the Staffordshire polies, within
whose jurisdiction the prisoner was employed, when he was
taken before the =agate's, and chanted with writing
the. atenine lateen to her Majesty. The prisoner explained
that his reason for doing so was to obtain 10,0001. left to his
family by the late Duke of rent. The magistrates sentenced
him to three months' confinement is Stafford gaol, in default
of his fin ling bail to keep the peace.
On Thursday, the Bth inst.. he presented himself at the
residence of the Dean of Windsor. and told the butler he was
determined to see the Queen, attd get his due, even if his
neck was stretched for it. Ile was again given into
custody, and the result was that. after two isquiries, the case
was postponed till Monday, the 17th inst., when the authori-
ties at the Home-office having ban communicated with, Mr.
Hayward, of the office of the solicitor to the Treasury,
attended to watch the cue, and was about to ask the magis-
trates to hold the prisoner to bail for using, threatening lan-
gu when Mr. Pearl, a surgeon, of Windsor, who had
examined him, expressed doubts of the prisoner's sanity.
Upon this Mr. Hayward asked for a remand, to obtain fur-
ther evi fence on that point.
Accordingly the prisoner was again brought up yesterday,
when the above facts having been deposed to, Dr. Mooro
✓ated that he had bad an interview of more than an hour's
duration with the prisoner, and he was clearly of opinion
that he was a dangerous lunatic, whom it was not safe to
trust at large for a Dingle hour.
Upon this evidence being given, Mr. Hayward applied to
have the prisoner committed to the county lunatic asylum.
The Mayor, having 'sleet the prisoner if he had-any ex-
planation to give of his conduct, he replied that it would be
useless, as he was like a lamb in a den of wolves.

After some conailtration the bench adjudged the prisoner
to be a dangerous lunette, and sentenced him to be metalled
in the county lunatic asylum at Littimam, near Oxford,
unless hit friends could give security for his see custody.
Tao prisoner is evidently very illiterate, no two consecu-
tive words h•ing epclt correctly, bar Majesty being described
as Queen " Victorev."

In the council of ministers, which was held on the

Tne project of the incursion into Navarre by the
Spanish refugees who are in France has been post-
pon d for want of money. One of the most celebrated
among them had gone to Toulouse, in hopes
of procuring some, and, should he succeed,
it was supposed the attempt would be made.
Aivices from Catalonia of the 6th inst. announced

Marsal, and Juvany, who have been for some days at
Amer, separated on the 3rd, and the band of Cabrera,
with the principal officers, took the road to (lot;
that of Marsal to Selva; and that of Juvany to Santa
Colonia. It was on arriving at San Martin de Csn-

THE PLYMOUTH CavacamEN AND THE ARCH-
BISHOP OF CANTIRBIIRT.—A meeting of lay members of
the established church was held at Plymouth, on Monday,
" To receive the report of the denotation to the Archbishop
of Canterbury, and his race's reply to the memorial agreed
on at a publicmeeting held on the 19th of December last.
Also to consider the propriety of presenting a petition to her
Mijsaty the Queen ; and foe the adoption of such other mea-
sures as may then be determined." J. Coryton Roberto,
Esq., was called to the chair, and recapitulated the nitres
which had led them to their last meeting, aid the course
they had then pursued of memorialising the Archbishop. He
said what he and the meeting protested spinet was the
inculcation of Rnmish ceremonies and doctrines by clergy-
men of the protestant church. (Hear.) As churchmen
they respected the episcopal dace and although 'hey
widely differed from the bishop of this diocese—they gave
him credit, veiging as he was on the grave, for seised- g
only that which he Believed to be the doctrine of the church.
He did not forget that the Bishop of Exeter had once been a
determined opponent of popery, but now he was an app rrrrr
of the practices of these tractarian clergy, wno had fair some
years past, under his auspices, been overspreading the dio-
cese. Ever since the publication of the "Tracts for the
Times " certain principles bad been insidiously insinuated es
the doctrines and practice of the Church of England. It was
generally dose under the pretence of rubrical conformity,
and !oceans in some cases then might be round for such a
statement, and he was therefore opposed to leaving the church
on slight grounds, merely because • clergyman preached in his
surplice, or used the offertory. But that was not the whole,
for there were innumerable rites and otwervance• which had
been introduced of is very muck worm nature than those he
had mentioned. When they tined of stone altars, trappings
of various kinds, decorating the altar with flowers, homage
without end and genuflexions—naturally
,their fun were
excited, and they would be led to exclaim ' this looks very
much like the Church of Rome!" But then he renew
