COLONIAL GOLD COMPANY.

Yesterday the first annual general meeting of this
compare was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
strut ; Mr. W. B. Cm in the chair.
The fiscasrsas read the report, from which it appeared
that • charter had been granted to the company on the 18th
of March, 18.52, limiting the responsibility of the share-
holders to 51. per cent. The arrangement made with the
Australian Gold Amalgamation Company had enabled the
board to secure the valuable services of Mr. Spence, an ex-
perienced mining captain, whore sphere of operations was
limited to New South Wales, bat the gold having been
found to be of superior richness in Victoria, it was deemed
advisable to send out Mr. Corner, another experienced
man, to that district. Mr. Riddlesworth, the assayer, had
arrived at Melbourne on the 3rd of June, 1852, with
60,0001. for the purchase of gold dust; and r. Spence was
entrusted with 25,0001. for a similar purpose. These sums
had realised a considerable profit, and further proceeds
were expected from money so employed. Although
it had been thought advisable to send out skilled
labourers, tlya company did not think it prudent
to employ ordinary labourers, and it was thought
that the field for emigration would supply all the labour of
that description—an opinion which had been confirmed by
the reports of Mr. Spence and Mr. Corner. Suitable pre-
mises bad been taken in London for the reduction of ores.
Mr. Spears was proving a quarts vein of the Great Nugget
Vein Company, which was to be leased for twcnty.one
years. The company had received from the gold commis-
sioner one mile at vein running parallel with the Great
Nugget Ridge, which gave him an extent of country equal
to three square miles. Mr. Spence in New South Wales,
and Mr. Corner in the other districts had been instructed to
push forward their operations as fast as possible. The
financial account showed that the profit made by the com-
pany in the purchase of gold dust was 8,0931. Ils. 2d. The
total amount of receipts from the commencement was
108,8951. 13s. Id., and the disbursements 85,880/. 4s. ;
leaving cash in hand amounting to 23,0351. 9s. Id.
The Cmatasus thought after hearing that report they
might congratulate themselves that so much had been
done within the short period the company had been estab-
lished. They had at present a capital of full 90,0001., which
, sum would be adequate for all their requirements, so that
there was no fear of a call being made on the proprietors.
A PROPRIETOR wished to know what profit had been
made by the commercial branch of the company, and what
by the mining. He thought the accounts should be kept
separate.
The CHAIRITAN said the accounts showed that the profit
on gold was 8,0931. Ils. 2d.
Mr. RICHARD TAILOR then read a very lengthy report
of the managers on the past and future prospects of the
company, in which it was stated that they were fully per-
suaded of the ultimate profitable result of gold crushing.
A Paornurron would like to know what the agents
were paid by the company ?
Mr. Joint TAYLOR said their chief agents received 8001.
a year each, and he thought they were underpaid.
.The
reports and accounts were adopted, and the roaring three-
ton and audi'ors were reelected.
A vote of thanks was pawed to the chairman, and also to
the managers in London and in the colony, and the meeting
separated.

BRITISH REFORMATION BOClETT.—Yesterday the
annual meeting of this society took place at the Hanover..
square Rooms, Mr. Noel Hoare in the chair. The chairman
in opening the proceedings referred to the recent proceed-
ings of the Pope in Holland, where the government has
acted with liberality to the Romish clergy, as a proof of the
actively aggressive spirit of the Roman catholic church. A
report stated that the appeals which have been made from
time to time to the liberality of the British protestants had
met with an unprecedented response. During the year meet-
ings had ben held and lectures delivered,or sermons pre achcd
at a large number of places which were enumerated, and
in the same period free grants of books and tracts had been
made to clergymen and others engaged in disseminating;
the protestant faith in Great Britain and Ireland. The

and expenditure 3,6161. 91. 4d., leaving a balance in hand
of 7651. 10s. 7d. The report was adopted, and various rega-

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

TUESDAY.

the cheap and the regular trains brought down a large
accession of visitors, but notwithstanding a strong list of
attractions, and the more than ordinary interest attached
to the principal feature of the sport—tee Two Thousand—
the still stormy state of the weather had the effect of limit-
ing the attendance of general company. There was, how-
ever, a goodly display of fashionable., and the Ring was
well thronged with speculators.
Seven hi rses started for the Two Thousand Guineas
Stakes, Si_biagbourne, contrary to expectation, being
numbered among the competitors. West Australian was
supported with undiminished confidence to the last ; and so
numerous and heavy were the investments in his favour,
that on the break up of the 't ring " 5 and 8 to 4 were
' betted on him. Orineco was next in demand, and both
Barbatus and Filbert had many partisans. The soften of
Knight of the Garter in the match with Nathan gave ad-
ditional encouragement to the hackers of Lord Glasgow's
horse. West Australian won cleverly by half a length, and
his victory caused his further advancement in the Derby
betting. During the race the rain fell with drenching
effect.

!MALT!! OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.
The official report states that tho mortality of
London continues to decrease by slow Aggress. Is the
three weeks of April the numbers of deaths se anted have
been 1,340, 1,20, and In the week that ended kat Satur-
day, 1,182. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years
1843-32 the average number of deaths was 944, which, if
raised in proportion to increase of population since the
deaths occurred, will give a mortality of 1,038 for last week.
Hence it appears that the 1,182 deaths registered last week
are in .:ens of the estimated amount by 141.
The decline in diseases of the respiratory organs during
the last four weeks is shown by the following numbers: the
deaths in this elan (exclusive of phthisis and beeping-comb)
were 420, 323, 251, and 212; from bronchitis, 231, 186, 128,
and 126; from pneumonia 172, 9i, 89, and 80; from
asthma 38, 18, 11, and IG ; from hooping-cough 84, 80, 68,
sad 66; from phthisis (or consumption) 179, 166, 16.5, and
139. It will be seen that diseases of the organs of respira-
tion are still much more fatal than is usual in the middle of
April, for the deaths from this clam, as above stated, were
last week 242, while the corrected average in ten correspond-
ing weeks was only 163.
Fever, which threatened to spread its ravages, has, so far
as the mortality affirds an indication, apparently aubeided.
Typhus was fatal ill the last four weeks in 77, 49, 65, and
4, cases; scarlatina in 36, 37, 20, earl 26. The mortality
of small-pox, it Is entifeseery se elestres, continues low,
only 3 cues, white easuned amens ehildren, having_been
recotded last week. Measles eanied of 24 children. Three
children died of ague, one of aims, 4 ekildren and an adult
of syphilis. Rheumatic fever was fatal in two cues. Ten
women died after childbearing, two of these from metric
(puerperal fever). Thirteen children died of larytgitis and
laryagissitts strigulus.
Last week the births of 812 boys and 768 girls, in all
1,580 children, were registered in London. In the eight cor-
responding weeks of 184.5-52 the average number was 1,476.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.691 in. The reading
of the barometer decreased from 29.96 in. at the beginning
of the week to 29.67 in. by 9h. p.m. on the 19th; remained
at this reading till 9h. p.m. on the 20th ; decreased to
2910 is. by 311. p.m. on the 22nd ; and increased to 29.74 in.
by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the
week was 45.9 deg., which is rather below the averago of
the same week in 38 yea's. The highest temperature in
the week was 60.5 deg. on Monday, the lowest was 37.3 deg.
on Saturday. The mean daily temperature was above the
average only on the three fluidity,. On Monday, when it
was highest, it was .51.8 deg.; thereafter it continued to
fall, till on Thursday it was 41.8 deg. The greatest dif-
ference between the dew point temperature and air tempe-
rutin* was 14 8 deg. on Wednesday ; the least was 1.0
deg. on Thursday and Friday. The mean difference for the
week was 6.4 deg. The wind was very variable.

LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.
An important circular, from the directors of the
London and North Wester* Railway Company to their
constituents, was delivered yesterday. From this docu-
ment, it appears that the North Western board has at pre-
sent bills before parliament for the construction of 1641
additional miles of railway ; and that their estimated OWL
is 2,149,00 W. The new lines, their separate lengths and
estimates, arc as follow :
New Lines. Length. Estimated Cosh

1614 miles. L 2,149,000
To meet this expeaditure, the company has fresh stock
in other lines whisk at par oast it 3,2946561, but the actual
market value of whit' k now 2,906,9701.; end this stock
the directors resemmand the p to retain, on the
grOW6ooeMW,elicyma their influence

sad IN. shwa, and N. a share

two *seri Noes at AIMS pospies to make calls
at as early date.
Of the capital requited he them 164 i Riles of new lines
Imre then is 1,000,M. In addition the directors seek fur
powers to create further ordinary share capital to the ex.
tent of 3,064,6001. Thus then the paid up capital
. of the North Western Railway has to be gradually in-
creased by, in round numbers, 4,000,0001. And as borrow.
ing powers to the extent of one-third the capital will, as
annul, follow its creation, the sum the North Western will,
under this circular, be entitled to miss, will be 6,000,000/.
The estimated east of the new line is 2,149,000/. This,
however, is, it may tiirly be presumed, irrespective of what
• trill be needed to furnish their roiling stock. That is
u an a4dition of one-third to the cost of construction,
✓a)• 700.000 i. This brines the sum up to 2,849,000/. ; end
as t be bills promoted also contain powers to make a devia-
tion, to widen the old line in some parts, and to enlarge
the stations, it is the additional coat of these
works which, it may be supposed, brings the sum
total Vp to 3,04,6001, the amount of ordinary
share eepital proposed to be created. But the
z tu,v of this amount of capital will still, we
lame thse company power to raise other 2,000,0001. • for
which, at present, they have no avowed object; of
espenditare.

MARKETS.

COI TON.—LI444PooL, APRIL 26.—The market *lased
very tamely, with no change on Fridsy's rates. Cotton wee
offered Very freely. The sales amounted to 5,000 tales,
taken by the trsile' and comprise 130 Pernam and 31aran-
ham, 63d. to 7d.; 50 Bahia, sp. ,• 400 Egyptian. 41d. to
15d. 400 Surat, 31d. to 40.; 20 Sea Islands, 21d. to
2a. id.

MANCHESTER, APRIL 28.—There hes been but a mo-
derate business in yarns of low to medium counts, but the
'driers by the Niagara steam•ship from New York, have
enabled &pitmen to support prices well. At the opening of
the market the bu,ii.ess was very limited, but offers were
rather more freely made towards the close. For the fine
yarns, such as are spun at Bolton, there is a good business,
and that town is amongst the moat flourishing in the manu-
facturing districts. In cloth there was a very quiet market,
but prices were firm. The movement commenced at Ashton
for closing all mills at six, according to what the operatives
term the spirietthough not the letter) of the Ten lio•,;n Act,
has spread to Lees and Oldham, and crowds of •,forkp"ple
yesterday evening manhed to several ir fils and took out the
operative* at 6 p.m. Ettveral millowncrs in retaliation had
closed their establishments against their hands. All this
tends to limit the production of goods, just at present, and
helps to support prices, though if it continue it will pro-
bably have a different result, by helping to draw down the
cotton market.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lnuns, APRIL 26.—We have no
change to report in the state of the market to-day; about
an ge Tuesday's business has beat done in most de-
scriptions of goods.

WOOLS.—lfunnensitrLn, April 26.—The demand for
Wools, both foreign and colonial, continues good, and full
rates for this description are 6: mly maintained, but low
Wauls generally are more difficult to move at former prices.

MANUFACTURES.-4iUDDERSFIELD, April 26.—The
attendance of merchants has not been quite so numerous in
the Cloth Hall today, neither has the demand been so brisk
as lately ; but, nevertheless, wo have a good average busi-
ness doing generally, most of our leading manufactures
being very busy, and some of them still making to order.

CORN.—LzErw, April 26.—Arrivals continue small;
fresh Wheats are in good demand, and a ready salo at Fri-
day's rates ; other aorta do not meet with much attention,
but are not lower. Barley steady. Beans fully as dear.

Lust croon, Aram 26. The imports of grain, &c.,
from Ireland this week are upon • small scale. From
abroad they are liberal of wheat, flour, and Indian corn,
principall from the United States, France, Spain, and
Egypt. The Baports are also large and embrace 6,282
barrels and 2,182 sacks of Sour, 2.637 quarters wheat, 6,086
quarters Indian corn, and 1,377 loads of oatmeal; The
trade throughout the week has continued very firm, and
we have experienced a steady and healthy demand for the
leading articles, wheat, flour, and Indian corn at full
prices. The Corn Exchange this morning was fairly
attended by town and country millers and dealers, but au
advance of Id. to 2d. per bushel on fine wheat, and 3d.
to W. per barrel on flour, over the prices of this day
se'naight, required by holders, checked business, and on
the whole it was only millerate. Indian corn slow of sale,
at last week's prices. There was no variation in the value
of oats, oatmeal, or any other article of the trade.

LYNN, April 26.—Our supply of Wheat continues small,
and the market to-day about le. per qr. dearer. The fol-
lowing were current prices:—Wheat, old, 621bs. to 631 be.,
465. to 475. per qr. to the growers; best, new, 581bs. to
5911 n., 395. to 415.; ditto, runs, 561bs. to 581b5., 365. to
38s. Barley, 28s. to 322. Beane, 325. to 365.
NEWCASTLE, April 26.—The weather continues cold and
ungenial. Yesterday and to-day a good deal of rain and
snow has fallen. At our market this morning we had a
moderato show of Wheat from the growers as well as from
the coast, but from abroad several vessels have arrived.
Fresh thrashed qualities, however, being wanted, sold
readily at fully Saturday's rates,whereas choice new foreign
red met a (air share of attention, Wolgast red making 495.
extra ; Holstein, 47e.; and go.id Tana of Hamburg, 455. per
qr., weighed 63 lbs. per bushel respectively. Flour sold
slowly, but prices are unchanged. The coolness of the
weather occasions a fair demand for malting Barley, but
grinding and distilling qualities are less inquired for, and
the turn cheaper, 30s. per qr., weighed 56 lbs., being now
an extreme quotation, whilst the intermediate varieties
command with difficulty 285., same weight. In Malt little
stirring, and the same remarks will apply to Beans and
Peas, and other articles.

CATTLE.—CoLcitharms, April 22.—There was a fair
show of Sheep, and no decline in the trade, as nearly the
whole were sold at prices quite equal to those of last week.
The best fat ones realised rather advanced prices. The
Beasts were limited in show,•and met with ready customers
at former high rates. Fresh Beasts were in brisk demand,
and geld at better prices. Lean stock was not se brisk a
sale, but prices were unaltered. Good mulch Cows were In
great request. The supply of Pigs was not so large as last
week's, and sales were quite as brisk as for several weeks
put; prices throughout kept up, and a clearance was made.
8a ply : Sheep and Lambs, 3,150; Beasts, 185; Pigs, 240 ; '
Calves, 83; Horses, 42.
aLLISBIIIIT, April 26.—At our market this day we bad
a very limited supply of Beasts, the major part of which
were inferior in quality. The attendance of buyers was
not very numerous, but, notwithstanding, everything
was bought up at au early hour, and the supply, therefore,
proved inadequate to the demand, and prices necessarily
maintained their former position. With regard to Sheep,
the supply was lees than we ever remembered to have
seen in this market, there being only one or two
small coupe on offer, which were eagerly bought up
at fearfully high prices. The supply of Calves was
seasonably good ; but the trade was steady, haying a down-
ward tendency in prices. In the Pig market there was an
average supply, and about the Atonal attendance of buyers.
There was not a large amount of buiness transacted, and
prices may be noted a little on the decline. The supply of
dead Pigs was very short. Present prices are : Best Ox
Beet, 10s. to 10s. 6d. per score ; cow and heifer, 9s. to 9e. 6d.
Best Down Mutton, 71d. to Bd. per lb.; lout-woolled and
inferior, 7d. to 7)d. Veal, 6d. to 61d. Pork, fresh and salt,
7d. to lid. per lb., and 99. to 10s. per score. Bacon,
green, per lb., 71d. to Bd. ; dry, Sid. to 9d.; ditto, per
score, 9s. 6d. to 101.6 d. Store Pigs, 18s. to 28s. each. Mdch
Cows, with calves, 91. 10s. to 131.
