ORA 19.

A special general meeting of proprietors was
held on Saturday at the Booth Sea House, for the considera-
tion, in accordance with the standing orders of the House
of Lords, of a bill now mEag in parliament to enable the
London. Chatham, and Dever Inffway Company to make
certain deviations &adjunction. lines of railway and for other
PU
Mr. arson& occupied the chair.
The CeI6II.IIIRNAN, in expLarniOn of the CinnUnini/0011
under which the meeting was convened, said the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway Company had succeeded in
passing through the House of Commons a bill to make
certain new railways, and amongst them the Maley Junc-
tion, a line parallel with, and in close proximity to, this
company's line. The bill contained a permissive clause in-
troduced by the committee to enable this company to sell
or is... itself to the London, Chatham. and
Dover Company, notwithstanding any agreement between
the company and the South -Foster° Railway. This
line was worked by the South Eastern Company under an
agreement of the 9th of June, 1858, and when that agree-
went was entered into a ammo us agreement was
stipulated by which the Crays Company agreed to he..
their line to the South Eastern, and not to promote or sup-
port the construction of any line antagonistic to the South
Eastern system, without the written consent of that com-
pany. Both the agreements were in evidence before the
committee which passed this blll and it was right to state
that in the opinion of the South Eastern Railway the bill
in question did authorise the 0001111111Cike of a lima which
competed with the South Eastern gqsteel Unless the bill
received the assent of the sharabetdsss of this company
the clause introduced by the Cemented committee would
have to be struck out. The directors bed felt themselves
placed in a position of some diMculty with regard to this
matter : they lied no WWI on the caw hand to violate any
contract with the South &stern Company, and on the other
hand they felt bound so far to defer to the expression of
opinion on the part of the parliamentary committee as to
convene this meeting, and under these circumstances they
desired to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the
shareholders. _ . .

dated Friday eVelieir• /
The general elaracter of the avow market dung the
past week has exhibited a decided tendency to demo*"
and we have to report lower prises for ill drartiptione.
Holders of " sorts " especially have shown peat wallop=
to submit to the exigencies of the ease. sad having met
buyers on very liberal terms (supplies also being good), the
business tranacted has been in many instances at a consider-
able reduction in prier. The only interniptian to this down-
ward movement occurred for an hour or two on the 29th
ultimo, when the settlement of the June contracts for sew
Y.C. allow was effected. It then became apparent that the
" ban" bad (as usual of late) oversold themselves, and
there being no available tallow out of the hands of the
Hamden monopolists (the only free parcel having been de-
stroyed by the fire at Cotton's Wharf), the latter became
mice more " masters of the situation," and of course were
not slow in using the advantage of their position, the penalty
inflicted upon the unfortunate bat rash bean being represented
by a "Menace " in most instances of about 71. per too,
showing an advance from 525. Id. to 595. td. per cwt. Much
animation prevailed during the short time occupied by the
"settlement" in question, and great excitement was ex-
hibited, by the mid bears especially, but upon the whole
the final arrungemeota appear to have been effected, if not
to the entire mtisfaction of all partite, at least without ma-
terial individual loss. It is also generally admitted that the
"distinguished foreigners" upon this occasion treated their
self-constituted victims with more leniency then might have
been expected ; the remembrance of past so:cases, and per-
haps the expectation of future triumphs, may probably have
induced them to use with some moderation the power they
Immediately after the settlements had been ad-
=tte market resumed its former quiet tone, and bas oleos
continued to exhibit the depression we have alr:eady noticed;
prices, however, are becoming moderate, and tinier the un-
ruly bears, mot content with the punishment they have
already received, should again give the monopolist, the
power to disturb the market, we may hope to have business
conducted during the ensuing season on sounder principles
then those which have too long governed, or rather ids-
governed, its operations.
The transactions in new Y.C. tallow to-day have been
smell ; 50e. to 50s. 3d. is the general quotation for October
to Deasether ; 150 a 6d. for separate months ; 1860 Y.O. for
ready delivery, say 525. per cwt.
The arrivals for the week ending the 4th hot. were 479
maks ; deliveries, 966 casks ; stock, 57,061 casks, 'bowing •
decreased 477 asks. _ _ . _

Town tallow hesbeen in fall supply, and the business done
has bees genseully on terms favourable to the buyer. This
the "Letter" price is 525. per cwt., or 495. 6d. net
ash. lit 11. Bd. per stone of ellbs.
Old 1f.0.-There has been very little demand, and the
MOD during the week has been quite nominal. To affect
mho, mash lower rata than those currently quoted must
be aesepteL Its market value is about 50a. 6d. per cwt.
Odsem.-10 casks of fair mutton were offered, and were
sold at 110 e. 3d. and 50s. per cwt. 51.. is the current quota-
tion far the best. Fine beef might bring 48e. 6d. to 495. per
cwt., but the market is rather bare of this tallow.
South Ameriesu.-The dammed has been dull, and at
onetime yesterday scarcely a bid could be obtained, • few
casks only of low grassy description being disposed of at
355. per cwt. ; 51c. was obtained Liter in the day for good
quality in pipes. 174 casks and 229 boxes were offered.
Some floating parcels have found buyers latelyat full prices,
and mixed descriptions have been alto in fair request at 44..
to 465. resir cwt.
And:shim-89 casks were offered, the whole being dis-
posed of ; middling mutton at 50e. ; fair seedy beef at 46e.
to 465. 3d. ; good "amid mixed of fair colour at 48s. 3d.,
and lower qualities at 445. to 465. &L per cwt. Fine mutton
is worth Ns., beef. 475. to 475. 6d.
East India.-80 asses were brought forward but were
bought in at 495. per cwt., the bidding. being within Is. of
the price demanded. The quality was middling, beieg firm
but clerk and rather mixed with grease.
Coma Net Oil hes exedinned to decline in value owing to
the pressure of stock-sow shout 6,000 tons. Sales are
difficult to effect at the reduced prices, and at auction yes-
terday there were lint few buyers, but a parcel of 34 mks
of good Coelda far unmarred sale, at short prompt, was
of at 425. 9d. 43.. par cwt. 34 auks Cochin, 32

and Sydney mat with so demand ; 41a. is quoted for the
former, and as monk for the letter if very flue.
Palm 011.-571 asks were offered, some of it very doe
quality, bat there was little demand, and ounuld.:4 casks
found buyers ; 445. 3d. being accepted for fine and
Whydah ; hardly any offers being made for and
low description. 8 asks of good red (Sierra Leone) brought

38s. to 38s. 9d. per cwt. ; about 50 seeks being disposed of.
South American Hone Grease is still quoted at 38s. per

TALLOW—SATURDAY Anuaroow. —The market is with-
out change, prices being as Whirs t, 51s. to 51s. :d. ;
July to September, 51 a. ; October to December, 50s. ; Old
Y.C. niwenglind, 50e. Deliveries to last evening, 539 casks ;

3,000 are Sc, export aid apeadatiom

COTTON GOODEL—WAmamito, Jinx 6.—This week
there has beep a somewhat increased Witham, but the total
amount is after all not • !Iry one. At the same time,
the pcaitica ef producers has been altered for the worse, as
the prios of Amerman cotton has risen Id. to ad. per lb.,
while in yams the advance obtainable has not exceeded id.
to Id., and in piece-goods any improvement whatever of
price bee hest quite exceptionaL Quotations have been
raised, but paerelly speaking the upward movement bas
merely prevented any soles that might otherwise have been
eft eded Is some theta:ices even last week's rates
are maintained with difficulty. This bee been
the thee with T cloths, and low printers.
Heavy domestics for the borne trade have met with a rather
improved sale, but only where previous rates would be taken
by the seller. LOOS cloths are neglected. The better
kinds of printing cloth are a little firmer than before, being
light in stock, and the demand responds a little to the
higher prioes asked, but there is nogreat sale. In the yarn
market, though there is a somewhat larger sale than before,
the unsatisfactory advance of price above mentioned is ob-
tained with difficulty. Spinners, however, are extremely
firm. The short time movement seems to be extending in
various parts of the district.
WOOLLEN CLOTH- —Laze, Jinx 6. —The market was
steady t►is mowing, and presented to feature et importance.
Ordinary sloths, as well as heavy goods, were in more
demand is the coloured cloth hall, sad 1. them and other
fabrics a fair Withers me trammeled. Im the white market
there wee a poor attendees* of buyers, and very little bal-
ms took pleas.

HARDWARE.—Brammoliam, JULY IL—Than are not
the slightest symptom of reaction ia coanexims with the
trade of this town ; in reference to akaost =my lima= emu-
plaints are of the mine character, that trade is thoroughly
bad. There is a considerable number of persons oat of
work altogether, and aline portion of the artisans are=
short time. Since the new quarter commenced the a
given out on account of the home trade have been
almost nominal, and in the foreign degariateot
there is not much more stirring. The
ee
sentiment appears to be that we are sot ErkT;ill
have any. improvement at present; is the meantime, the
pressure is severe upon the artisans, especially as in the =-
certainty which prevails relative to the future of trade
manufacturers are indisposed to make further addition' to
their stocks. Is the adjoining manufacturing district■ trade
is fully as bad se it is in the town. Many of the works are
only in partial operation, whilst the large number of for-
mals which have been blown out has muck depressed the
labour market. The quarterly meetings of the ironmaMers
will commence at Wolverhampton on Wednesday. No-
thing is expected but a quiet quarter-day.

CORN.—eursitmos, JULT 6.—We bad a very dull mar-
ket, without any change in price, and little own offering.
Wheat, 36. to 66a. Barley, 28s. to 30s. Beaus, 365. to
40s. Oats, 22e. to 30s.

COLCHIasTLII, JULY 6.—A good supply of wheat and small
of other grain. Wheat, of fine quality, la. dearer ; other
descriptions were difficult to sell at late rates. Barley,
beans, and peas unaltered.
GUILDPUBD, JOLT 6.—The supply of wheat was mode.
r.=rod and we have to report as improvement in the
d.. , which enabled sellers to obtain an advantage of
ls. to 3 par qr. far goad samples. Wheat, Ws. to 695.
Barley, 965. to 30a. Oata, 235. to 28e. Beam, 43. to 475.

LLICZOTEIL JULY 6.—The show of wheat was moderate
and although samples varied much in quality some fine
aorta wen, exhibited. There was more activity in the trade,
and prices advanced 2a per quarter. old white sorts
made 66*. to 745. ; new, 50a. to 665. ; old red, 6A. to 68s. ;
new. 48s to 625. per 36 stone. Of barley the show was
mall, and the tone of the trade was quiet., at prices similar
to those of the week previous; malting, 365. to 40s. per
quarter ; grinding, 295. to 31s. per 30 stone. The supply
of cats was limited, and sales took place slowly at the
currencies of the week previous, rates varying from 28e. to
32e. per 24 stone. Beans came to hand sparingly and met
se equally quiet sale, but prices underwent no important
variation ; old, 50s. to 58a. per 38 stone ; new, 44e. to 50s.
per ditto. Fine flour, 48c ; seconds, 435. to 448. ; thirds,
38s. to 40e. per sack.
Nsweseni•oros-Trees, JILT 6.—At our market this
morning we bad • moderate show of wheat from the growers,
and, such descriptions being much wanted, a clearance pas
early affected, at an advance of is. per qr.,whikt at the same
time there was rather more pawing in other qualities, at
prime that were not previously obtainable. For some nice
red Bul 50s. wen paid, bk. at the same time being given in
retail for well-prepared Danish, whereas fine mixed Dental°
realised 575. to- 58s. per 5041b5.; extra held higher. Flour
was held more firm/y; buyers, however, operated cautiously.
hiirinding barley little dose, and the same remarks will
yto malt. For beans and beans very little inquiry.
