MARK-LANE —THIS DAT.

The arrivals of all descriptions of grain continue moderate. so
at the same time they are fully equal to our present limited SS
demand. The few parcels of English Wheat left over from 20
Monday were sold at about that day's rates, and needy
buyers had to pay former prices for the little foreign Wheat u
they required. The dealers and consumer, of Oats, as is 12,
usual on a bare market, acted with extreme caution, and So
merely to,k off such quantities is they actually rood in 14
need of, and prices underwent no change. Harley, Beans, St"
and Peas slow sale at previous rates. la

CHURCH RsTEs.—At the Town-hall, Colchester
on 31,nday, Mr. E. W. Watts was summoned to show cause 40
why he rehired to pay 21. 18s . due es church rates in the 50
perish of Holy Trinity. Mr. Watts said, his reason for re. 20
fusing to pay was his individual conviction of the inroads. .11
tency of coctributing to a ministry sopported by the state. 11
He had been repeatedly put to c,nsiderable expense in dia. 23
trainta and sa'ee of goods, and considered it very oppressive. 12i
He might state as another of his reasons the command of le
Our aTinnr to his apostles—" Primly ye have received, duo
freely Rive." It was from no pertinacious obstinacy that he r„
objected to psy ; nor from acting on the convictions of others; ly•
he w. s "aided only by his own convlctions.—Mr. Cooke maid 23
the usegistra•es respected every maws oninions, but it was a
question they could not enter into: Mayor also said it.
the beach ha,t no power, except to carry out the law.—Mr. W
Charles Marriage, of Abbeygate-street, was also summoned rt:
on a like accosnt, his rates amounted to 9s. Warrants of 6„
distress were inset in both cues.—Essex Herald. toa

COPTIIOLD6.—The copphold commissioners, in the ec
eighth report to the Secretary of State flail before parlia-
meat, and issued on Wednesday), give a list of 46 enfran-
hisements completed, or nearly completed, by the direct M
instrumentality of the commission. The commissioners are 12a
enabled to state that those provisions of the eopyhold acts, .64
which empower the parties to pay the enfranchisement money r
to trustees. mil thus to dispense with its payment into the ge
Court of Chancery, have worked very eatisfactorily, and that yo
these powers are much resorted to by the owners of mole- 13
siastical manors. The commissioner. state," We have again 114
to remark that the progress of voluntary enfranchisement ..hiu
is and will be impeded while the prospect of a general 5
compulsory measure remains doubtful in the public mind. 4
We have already given our views on this subject of corn-
pulaion in previous reports. We do not see any reason M
to alter them. If, however, no general compulsory mea-
cm Is adopted, erste power. of effect ng compulsorily It
the extinction of bastion, sad of amending and settling 10
the Byrum of stewards' fees would, we know, be emaidered
• boon to a very large portion of the country. Little or no 2,1/
objection would probably be made in parliament to such 10
limi.ed measures. Those members of this legislature who U
have been most prominent in opposition to any general If
scheme of compulsion have nearly all of them declared that r 4
to the extinction ofheriots and regulation of fees they make 10
no objection." to
THE MlDLAND.—Yesterday a public meeting of the shire
holders in the Midland Railway, resident in the neighbour- 20
hood of Sheffield, was held at the Cutlerte-hall, "to con- la
eider the propriety of appointing a Sheffield committee
to watch over the interests of the proprietors and NI
tef petitioning parliament to inquire into the causes
which have depreciated railway property." Only • be
small number of the shareholders wen present.—Mr. Bt.
lone bionic'', who occupied the chair, brought before fie
the meeting a aeries of resolutions, setting forth that the M
isolated position of railway ehareholden, and the want of
dare rreponsibility in the directors were sources of great 113
mimbiel ; suggesting that the shareholders In that district
should form • committee to watch over their interests ; that,
among other things, they should send a deputation to the
hallyearly meeting at Derby, to be supported personally or
by wits a; and that they should support the system of not
re-electing any director who went out by rotation until he
had been out at least twelve months. He also proposed the
adoption of • petition to parliament setting forth that
the railway property of the country wee is a greatly
depressed state and ascribing it to various causes, but pray-
ing that parliament would grant a special committee to make
enquiry into the system of railway management, and the
causes of the depressed Mete of the property. The first and
second resolutions were carried, but considerable dinumion
Wok place upon that which prop:sed that any director roar-
lag by rotation should be ineligible for re-sin:Ws for twelve
nau itha ; and it was in the sod spied that the subject
was one of tots important • character to be decided
by an small a number of proprietors. The meeting
resolved itself into a committee to take steps to convene a
larger meeting of the shareholders in this neighbourhood,
sod the chairman (Mr. Inlaid.), Mr. Francis Newton, Mr.
O. Chambers, Mr. Odlott, and Mr. Harrison, wen requested
to sign a requisition to the shareholders to attend such
mt. ung. Some discumion tcok place upon the inconveni-
ence which many of the shareholders would experience from
the tircumataace that the half•yearly meetings of the Mid-
lend, the Manchnten, Sheffield, and Lineolnahlre, and the
Ifrit, Newcastle, and Berwick Companies, were all filed toe
one dry. It was resolved that the chairman should write to
the directors, urging that the day flied for the meeting
shouid be changed.!

HULL AND 811LBT.—TIto report of the director., Just
issued, states that the amounts for the ball year ending
December 31, show • balance of 31,8171. available for the
