than the currency of Thursday, and than at • later hour.
There was a disposition to sell heavy share stock, and pur-
chase into new guaranteed lines, on the calculation that as
the traffic on the former may probably be interfered with to
some extent by the new lines in prowess, directly or indi-
rectly, therefore that something like the maximum of profit
and dividends has been attained, for a time at least, and any
increased value of the shares would thus be out of question.
Some improvement or more firmness may be noticed in
Ambergates, in Boston, Stamford and Birmingham', and
Shropshire Unions. York and Newcastle new shares were
done at 10 prem., and remain buyers at that rate. Bast
Indians were all in depression.
The Livcrpool market was still drooping, and no hope of
speedy improvement appeared.
The Manchester market was heavy and depressed; prices
in favour of the buyer.
At Leeds the market was not so buoyant as on Thursday,
although a good business was done in Ormskirks at yester-
day's prices, and in North Stafford, at y decline. Leeds and
Manchester Extensions declined a shade; and New Think,
fell 12s. 6d., but the other lines remained firm.

PROVINCIAL. --WAKEPIRLD, I'ONTEFRACT, AND
Thursday last an extraordinary general meeting of the
shareholders in this company was held in the Town-hall, Pontefract,
to authorise and empower the directott to burrow such turns of money
at they may deem necessary, within the limit. prescribed by their act
of incorporation, and to secure the repayment thereof, with interest,
by mortgage or bond ; and also to authorise the sale by the company,
under the powers of the tame act, and on the terms of the agreement
entered into and confirmed by anextruordinary meeting of proprietors
held on the 15th December hitt, of to much of the railway of the eoM-
pany at the company arc authorised to sell to the Manchester and
Leeds Company, under the provisions of the company's act. Dr.
Buchanan, of Pontefract, the chairman of the company, briefly opened
the bn.sinett, and in proposing a resolution empowering the
directors to borrow and take up on mortgage or bond, at such
rate of interest and for such term as they may think proper,
any sum of money not exceeding 121,66171., be observed that the
directors were not at present aware what sum it might be necessary
to borrow, hut they had deemed it advisable to ask fee the rowers re-
quisite for the purpote. Wm. Moron, Fact., of Pontefract, having
seconded the motion it was adopted. In answer to a question by a
proprietor, the chairman Mill it was hoped that the railway would be
opened in about twelve months from this time. The contractor
would incur a heavy penalty if it was not ready for opening by the end
of October, 1847, and he was entitled to a premium if it was ready
sooner. The chairman next submitted a resolution authorising the
sale by the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole Company to the Man-
chetter and Levet. Company of the entire undertaking, railway,
works, and other property of the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole
Railway, nuthorited by their act of 1845. J. Andan, Eng., of Beetling-
ley, seconded the resolution, and it was adoAel. Mr. Leman, of York,
solicitor to the company, then read the draft of the proposed agree-
ment of sale and conveyance; and a resolution moved by the chair-
man approving thereof, was seconded by Mr. Matthew Dawson and
agreed to. Another resolution authorizing the directors to aMx the
common teal of the company to the conveyance, and to do all other
acts to effectuate the same. was proposed by the chait man, seconded '
by Mr. Alfred Small, of Goole, and adopted. The meeting was then
resolved into an extraordinary general meeting of the extension ahare-
holders in the same railway company, under the act of 1840; and a
similar eerie. of resolutions were adopted authorising the sole and
conveyance of the three branch railways, thereby authorised to be
made to the Manchester and Leeds railway company, pursuant to an
agreement made on the 15th December last. Thanks were then voted
to the chairman, and the meeting terminate].
NEWCASTLE AND YOlM.—Return tickets are now issued
on Sundays at Newcastle, York, and all the intermediate atatiore,
so that pasiaengets are conveyed the entire length, (or shorter
distances, of the line at the rate of one half-penny per mile, in some
instances even lees. The distance between Darlington and Rich-
mond is nearly 18 miles, and the charge, to and from either place,
only Is. The regulation has been in force about a month.
FOREION.—FRANCE.—A Tours letter says, "The
works of the line from Tours to Nantes are in full operation, and tome
of the works of art are executed with great ability. The places for
the statues have been submitted to the Administration des pont, ed
Clielonro. The grand viaduct of Clnq.Mars is greatly advanced. We
observed the Panic activity in the department of the Maine-et-Loire,
the works in which department will he finished in the same period of
time. The state of the induces, us to suppose that the high tides
will not again impede operations, in which case we can hold out a
hope that towardt the beginning of 1847, the works will be nearly
terminated. The line of railway from Montereau to Troyes is pro-
ceeding so rapidly towards completion that it will probably be opened
to the public as the approaching year, and at the suggestion of the
Minister of Public Works the same line may probably be extended to
Chaumont, the capital of the department of Haute Marne, when it
will unite with the line from St. Diner to Gray, voted by the cham-
bers in the hot session. By means of such an extension, the line from
Ilontereau to Troyes will be the shortest route from Paris to the
eastern parts of Prance, the north of Switzerland, and Germany.
