AMALGAMATION OF THE EAST AND WEST YonK-
SHIRK WITH THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND MAIL-
WAY.—YORK, RATURDAT.—An extraordinary meeting of
the shareholders of the East and West Yorkshire
Railway Company was held at the Court-house,
Knaresletrough, yesterday, to take into considera-
tion two agreements entered into between the direc-
tors of that company and the directors of the York
and North Midland Railway Company, with reference to
the working of the line of the former company, and for
an amalgamation of the capital of the company with that
of the York and North Midland Company. There was a
numerous attendance of the shareholders. D. W. NMI,
Esq., of Leeds, presided. Mr. Powell, one of the solicitor.,
read the articles of agreement between the two companies
for amalgamation. It was stated in those articles that the
original shares in the East and West Yorkshire Company,
which represent a capital of 200,000 L, shall, on such amal-
gamation taking place, be called in and cancelled, and in
lieu thereof there shall be issued by the York and North
Midland Railway Company 200,0001. of the stock of that '
company, to be taloned amongst the persons who shall be
registered as holders of shares in the East and Wett
Yorkshire Company; also, that the preference shores
issued by the East and West Yorkshire Company shall be
called in, and in lieu thereof the balder, shell be en-
titled to one 251. share, paid up (Hull and Selby preference
shares) for four East and West Yorkshire preference shares.
Captain Ilarrison observed that some of the York
and North Midland directors were present. He therefore '
intimated that it would be satisfactory to the inhabitants of
Knaresborough to know whether there was any intention
on the part of the York and North Midland Company to
shut up the East and West Yorkshire Railway. It woe of
great importance to that town that the line should be kept
open. Mr. Jewett, one of the directors of the York and
North Midland Company, said he had never heard any iu-
tentiun suggested at their board of closing the railway, and
he believed there was no such intention. Mr.
Reynolds, the secretary, then read the heads of
the agreement with regard to the working of the railway.
The Chairman moved, " That the agreement be tip/roved,
and that the seal of the company be affixed to the same, in
confirmation thereof" The motion from the chair, for the
adoption of the agreement, war then put, end carried una-
nimously. The Chairman then moved, " That the directors
of this company be authorised to take such steps to obtain, in
conjunction with the York and North Midland Company, le-
gislative sanction, during the next session of parliament,
or, if necessary, during any subsequent session, as they
may. deem desirable for the amalgamation of the two com-
panies." This resolution was likewise unanimously adopted,
and the shareholders present then affixed their signatures
to the agreements. This concluded the business of the
meeting.
WATERFORD AND KILKENNY RAILWAY.—The
half yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday,
at the London Tavern, Hishopuate-street. Maj.-General
M'Leed in the chair. The half-yearly report stated, that
although the director* have not succeeded, to the full ex-
tent of their wishes, in carrying out their plans for the
benefit of the company, yet the difficulties which had lon
since accumulated are now being gradually overcome ; and
they entertain a confident hope, that before the next half-
yearlyonly will the centract:works have
beenmeeting, umeel,buott considerable progress made towards
completing the line. The usual queries proposed previous
to granting a loan having been answered to the satisfaction
of the Public Works Loan Commissioners, the directors
have no doubt, that when the present meeting shall have
adopted the resolution authorising them to borrow 40,00 W.,
the first instalment of the loan question will be ad-
vanced by that board. The directors hope to settle
the disputed claims included in the liabilities of the com-
pany, by compromise, in which Cabe they will be able,
with the proceeds of the Preference Shares, to clear off the
whole of the company's debts. In the working expenses, a
lose has accrued during the last half-year. This to the
directors is a most annoying circumstance, inasmuch as it
might have been prevented, had the late contractor traid
ordinary attention to the traffic department. At the time
when the working contract expired, and the line came again
into the hands of the company, the weekly receipts were
lower than they had ever been before. Since then, how-
ever, the revenue has gradually increased, and during the
last few weeks the receipts have been most satisfactory.
I Prom the accounts it appeared that the total receipts of the
company were 308,2271. 3s. 9d., and the total now ex-
pended 304,0541. The receipts of the half year were 8731.184 d.,
and the total working expenses 8211. 7s. 4d., leaving a
balance of 411. 14s. in the hands of the company.
A discussion took place in respect to the prospects of the
company. Mr. Bates (the managing director) said they had
so far complied with the requisitions of the loan commis-
sioners, as made it only nectuary to get the sanction of this
meeting to obtain the loan of 40,0001, from the commission-
ers. The main difficulty was to arrange with the creditors,
many of them being most extortionate in their demands,
particularly the Irish lawyers. Towards those who had a
bonder claim against the company the directors were dis-
posed to act honourably. The report was adopted unani-
mously, and Messrs. Emery, Smithwiek, and Roden were
re-elected directors. A resolution was passed authorising
the directors to borrow 40,0001. The meeting was then
made special for the purpose of assenting to a bill in parlia-
ment for the purpose of leasing this line to the Waterford
and Limerick Railway Company, and for other purposes.
The solicitor road the marginal notes, after which the bill
was agreed to. Mr. Brushings' moved, and Mr. Wyk se-
conded, a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, when
the meting atomised.

Two o'CLOCK.
The English stock market has been very firm to-
day, and under the influence of a moderate amount
°eliminate, prices have been maintained at the full
rise lately noticed. At present, however, the market
shows a slight reaction, and prices are just the turn
lower.
Consols have touched 981. both for cash and time,
and are now quoted 971 to 98 for money, and 9$ to

SATURDAY Ev EYING.
The Bank of England returns of last night have
been received with the more interest, as they do
away with the impression that the Bank coffers are
under a process of steady exhaustion. The increase
in three weeks has been no less than 314,492/.,
namely, week ending

This is looked upon as an assurance there is some
elasticity in the bullion operations, and by some as
Cu beginning of a continued influx of bullion.
The bullion market has been remarkable for the
further decline in bar silver reported by us yester-
day, and which has now brought silver very nearly
to its old price. It is very unlikely that Mexican
dollars can keep up, as largo supplies come forward,
and they are nut suited to the markets, in which
there is a demand for silver. A slight decline in bar
silver has been noted at Paris, and it will most pro-
bably be further affected next week by the alteration
in price here.

The imports of bullion this week have included
843,000/. (gold), by the Emperor, at Hull, from St. Pe-
tersburg; 1,3231.11 the Jupiter, Peninsular and Orien-
tal steamer (1,013/. from Gibraltar, 6101. from
Lisbon); 4/ 001. by the Ripon, Peninsular and
Oriental, from the East Indies.
An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the
United Kingdom for the last week, published by
Heroin:6es Journal, shows the total receipts on 6,301
miles to he 280,205/., equal to 44'. 10s. per mile per
week. In the corresponding week of 1830 the re-
ceipts were 273,639/. on 5,743 miles, or 471. 10s. per
mile per week. There is thus an increase in the
aggregate receipts of 6,546/., or 2.39 per cent., an in-
crease in the mileage of 538 miles, or 9.89 per cent.,
and a decrease of 3/. in the amount received per
mile per week. This falling off is satisfactorily ac-
counted for by the circumstance that last year's re-
turn embraced the 'Milian holiday traffic.
The Railway Times contrasts the present
week's returns on the seven metropolitan
lines with those of last week, from which
it appears that there is an increase of no less than
13,3391. It would thus appear that the Exhibition
has begun to tell, though the traffic arisingout of the
Epsom races also exercises its usual influence. The
same authority estimates the total traffic returned
since the Ist of January at 4,999,215/., which on
6,232 miles now open, gives an average of 7991.
12s. 41d. per mile. In 1850 it was returned for the
same period at 4,520,004/. on 5,715 miles, or 7901.
18.. 0,,c1. per mile. The balance thus remains consi-
derably in favour of the present year, and there's no
doubt it will be speedily increased.
The Railway 7 imes states that an arrangement has
been effected, through the official manager, in the
matter of the Madrid and Valencia Company, which
I will prove highly satisfactory to the interests of the

ACCIDENT AT THE WOOLWICH STATION, ON THE
NORTH KENT KAlLWAT.—Yesterday (Sunday) evening
an accident, resulting in the death of Mr. Drew, of
Chatham, took place at this station. lie was seen
to jump off the platform, as if to crow; the line, but, in-
stead of alighting on his feet, he fell across the rails.
At this mum( fit a train of empty carriages proceeding to
the Arsenal shit' in: in sight. The driver hailed. hint !
several times, but before he could regain the platform the
engine and carriages had passed through the station, drag-
ging him some:, distance. Upon his being picked up, he
gave two or three slight sighs, and expired.
VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR,
M.P.—About 11 o'clock on Friday night a disturhanie
took place at the residence of Mr. F. O'Connor, 24, Notting-
hill-terrace, occasioned by an attempt being matte by a man
named Thompson, a tall powerful Scotehman, to commit a
violent assault upon Mr. O'Connor. Police-sergeant Davis,'
F 29, and constable 210, hearing a great noise in front of
Mr. O'Connor's residence, went into the front garden,
where they Muni' the man Thompson with a bag of house-
breaking nnplements in his possession, and requested him
to leave this premises. lie refused to do so, and said he
would not leave till he had seen Mr. O'Connor, who, lie
said, was a thief and vagabond, and owed him between Gut.
and 70/. The sergeant told him he might take
legal proceedings fur the recovery of his debt, but he
should not stop there. Mr. O'Connor came out of the
house, and requested the police to take him away.
Thompson then flew upon Mr. O'Connor, and seising him
by the throat, attempted to choke him, broke his eye-glass
and watch chain, and it was with the greatest difficulty the
police could pull him off. The bag in his possession, on
being searched, was found to contain a large chisel, a pair
of pincers, and two hammers, with which he said he in.
tended to break into the house ; and close to him was found
a large stone, weighing eight or nine pounds. lie was
taken to Kensington station, and conveyed on Saturday
afternoon to llammcrsmith police court, before T. Payntor,
Esq. Mr. O'Connor attended to prefer the charge, and
said Thompson had laid wait for him at the Douse cf Com-
mons, on Friday evening, and had abused him there, and
then followed him to Notting-hill. The prisoner
stated, in defence of his conduct, that the honourable
member had inserted a letter in his paper, the Northern
Star, which had caused him to lose his employment, to the
value of GUI. or 701., and that he had wished Mr. O'Connor
to insert a letter in the paper in contradiction, but he
had refused. Mr. O'Connor said he had not written
anything against the man himself. but a letter from
a widow, whom Thompson) hail lodged with, and to
whom he owed a sum of money, had appeared in hi, news-
paper, stating that she had applied to him, Thompson, for
money, and he had desired her to pay herself by selling the
contents of two carpet bags he had lett at her house, hut on
examining the bags, she found them to contain nothing
but hay. Mr. Poynter having cautioned the prisoner as to
his future conduct, fined him 20s. for the am.ault, and or-
dered him to find bail himself in 40/. and two sureties in 201.
each, to appear at the sessions. The tine not being paid,
the prisoner was taken away in the van. Mr. O'Connor
said the prisoner hail been confined before for two months,
for walking up and down outside his bank in New Oxford-
street, and threatening his life.

THE ASCOT RACE Curs to be contended for this
week are excellent specimens of native skill and talent.
The principal one, vie., the Emperor of Russia's Vase, is
modelled by Mr. Cotterill, and manufactures! by Messrs.
Garrard, goldsmiths to the Crown, Haymarket. It is a
shell-shaped cistern for coaling wine, supported on scrolls,
which rest on a base of ebony, and surmouated by a group
representing a sledge attacked by wolves. The Queen's
Cup is by the same artist and manufacturers, and consists
of a group, a camel and its driver reposing, and a Turkish
horseman, whose horse is startled by the camel. Both
these cups are fine. The larger one is particularly enti-
tled to praise, both for the compositioa and the execution.
The thirst cup, called the Royal Hunt Cup, is from a de-
sign of Mr. A. Brown, manufactured at the establishment
of Messrs. Hunt and Roakell (successors to Storr and Mor-
timer), Bond-street, goldsmiths. &c., to the Queen. It is
a cup of the Italian school, surmounted with a group, a
deerstalker and his dog, and is:in all respects satisfactory.
EXTENSIVE ItoaaEttos.—On Saturday informa-
tion was given that Count Reventlow, of Nu. 2, Wilton-
terrace, lielgrave-square, had been robbed of a number of
valuable articles, amongst which were a Danish order, of
silver, in the form of a star, with a heart hi the centre, and
blue enamelled cross on the top. A silver gilt medal, liar-
ing on one side a man, in Roman costume ; and on the re-
verse an inscription, commemorative of " Conrad, Comes de
Reventlow," born in 16/14, and who died in 1708. Also, three
gold studs, with chain.—lnformation was also given that a
man absconded on Friday with 43/., stolen from his em-
ploycrs Messrs. Knight and Co., soap-boilers, in Old
Gravel-lane. Ile is described of fair complexion, about
40 years old, stout, and bow-legged, and wore a white
smockfrock.

TILE 'MURDER AT LEWII.—On Saturday informa-
tion from the Secretary of State's office was circulated,
offering, on the part of her Majesty's government, a reward
of 1001. for the discovery of the murderers of George
Green, a labourer, at Culepeth, near Leigh. In addition
to the 1001. reward, a promise is held out of her Majesty's
free pardon to any accomplice (4 reepting, of course, the
actual perpetrator) who will give such information as may
lead to the apprehension of the murderers. Another in-
formation circulated by order of government offers 1001.
reward for the discovery and apprehension of the pc rpetra.
tors of a murder near Barnard Castle, in the county of
Durham, where the body of a man named Charles Whin'
was found on the Ilth ultimo in the river Tees, with
the hands tied close together with a silk handkerchief,
and upon the forehead a number of incised wounds and
other marks of violence.
