MARK-LANE.

In the country markets held on Saturday, a fair average
business was transacted in most qualities of wheat, and
prices ruled firm. For malting barley, there was a good
demand at full quotations; and other articles, including
flour, changed hands to a moderate extent, at about previ-
ous rates.

Advices from New York state that the export demand for
wheat and flour continued to increase, and that shipping
qualities commanded further enhanced rates. On the
Continent very little change has taken (lace in the value
either of wheat or spring corn.
The arrivals of English wheat and flour up to our market
last week were hut moderate, but the receipts of spring corn
were tolerably extensive. The imports from abroad amounted
to 25,486 quarters of wheat, 19,145 barley, 22,867 oats, 2,500
rye, 2.52 beans, 4,225 linseed, 5,481 oil-seeds, 5,830 maize,
2,404 sacks, and 1,550 barrels of flout.

Moderate supplies of home-grown wheat were received
fresh up to our market to-day, and the condition of the pro-
duce was, on the wh .le, tolerably good. The warlike news
at hand from the Continent was unproductive of any acti-
vity in the demand either for z ed or white qualities, never-
theless factors were firm, and the bulk of the supply was
disposed of at the rates current on Monday last.
With roost descriptions of foreign wheat the market was
fairly supplied. The transactions, however, were for the
most part, of a hand to mouth character, at previous quota-
tionp.

The demand for cargoes of wheat and spring corn afloat
ruled steady, and previous quotations were supported.
The supply of barley—both English and foreign,--on offer
was moderately large. For malting qualities the trade ruled
firm, at full currencies; but in inferior descriptions sales
progressed slowly on former terms.
Malt changed hands slowly, yet no change took place in
its value compared with Monday last.
With oats the market was moderately supplied. The
trade, generally speaking, ruled steady, at full quotations
Very moderate supplies of beans were on sale. For all
qualities there was a steady demand, at quite previous
rates.

Peas ruled firm in price, ane in most descriptions a fair
business was transacted.

American flour moved off steadily, at full prices.
English and French qualities supported previous rates,
with a moderate inquiry.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was about an average time-of-year supply of
foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, and the demand
for it ruled steady at prices quite equal to last week.
We were Tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with home-fed beasts, but their general quality was not
quite equal to Monday last. From Scotland the receipts
were good and in prime condition. From Ireland the sup-
ply was small. On the whole, the beef trade ruled steady
at quite last week's quotations. The primest Scots and
crosses realised 5s 2d per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambrideshire we re-
ceived 2,000 Scot and crosses; from 'other parts of Eng.
land, 700 various breeds; from Scotland 359 Scots and
crosses ; and, from Ireland, 160 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was again only thoderate. The
quality of most breeds, however, was good. The mutton
trade was tolerably firm, and late rates were fully supported,
The general top figure was 65., but a few very superior
Down realised 6s 2d per Sibs. About 600 shorn sheep were
on offer. They sold at is per 81bs. beneath those in the
wool.

There were a few lambs on offer from Hampshire and
Surrey, and they changed hands at from 6s to 78 per Ms.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Cockermouth on Friday—Mr. J. STEEL,
M.P., in the chair.
The report stated that the working expenses,
although from some special causes greater than
usual, had not exceeded 42 per cent. of the receipts,
and the balance against restoration account had
been reduced to £3,022. The directors recom-
mended a dividend of 10s. per share. The opening
of the Keswick Railway (expected to take place in
June next), by making the Cockermouth and Work-
ington line part of a new route eastward and south
ward, would render it desirable to adapt their
working arrangements so us to conduce to the deve-
lopment of the anticipated traffic. The engineer
and locomotive superintendent reported that the
rolling stock was in good working order.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the prospects of the line seemed to be
extremely satisfactory. He believed there had
been a largo increase of traffic.
Mr. MUSGRAVE, in seconding the motion, ex-
pressed his satisfaction .at the prosperous state of
the undertaking.
The report was adopted, and a dividend of 102.
per share for the past half year was declared.

The mketing was then made special, and the
directors were authorised to raise additional capital
to the amount of £24,000, by the issue of 4,000
shares of £5 each, and a further issue of 800 pre-
ferential shares of £5 each, bearing a fixed divi-
dend of 42 per cent, per annum.
The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to the chairman and directors.

WOOL.

Owing to the dearness of money the amount of business
doing in English wool is very moderate. Prices, however,
are without material change from last week. Colonial wool
is held at full quotations, but the demand was far from
active. The following are the quantities at present arrived
for the next public sales :—New South Wales and Queens-
land, 7,758 bales • Victoria, 2 1053* 1. , Tasmania, 396; South

General Credit and Finance Company of
London,

(MEETING THIS DAY.)

The first general meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held to-day. :t was stated in the report that
since the period the cempaiy had been constituted the
aspect, both of political and monetary affairs, had been
such as to inculcate extreme caution; and the unlooked-
for delay in the concesion of the allied French company
had caused a state of susperse with regard to important
branches of internaticnal business. This concession now
stood on the orders of the day of the Conseil d' Etat for final
approval ; and the directors had every reason to hope that
all obstacles were removed, toil that it would be granted in
a few weeks. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the
directors had the satisfaction d stating that the net profit
of six months' working, as thown by the annexed ac-
counts, after deducting rebate, current expenses, and
income tax, amounts to £38,1, being at the rase of nearly
18i per cent. per annum. In ascertaining this profit, all
securities held by the company were valued at the market
price of the day. This represented the actual rate of
divisible profit. The directors did not, however, recom-
mend that it should be all divided. In the infancy of a
company of this description, it seemed to them more prudent
not to exceed a moderete rate of dividend until an ample
reserve should have been accumulated cut of profits.
Accordingly, they recommended the preliminary expenses,
amounting to £1,853 :3s. 7d., to be written off at once ; the
sum of £9,534 l le. to be carried forward to next
account, and £15,750 :o be appropriated to dividend, being
3s, per share, or at the rate of a fraction above 10 per cent,
per annum, free of income-tax.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOlllbUrn.)
COSTS UNDER DEEDS OF ARRANGEMENTS.

His Honour gave judgment on an application for costs
under a deed of arrangement. The petition was presented
in July, 1861, but the Court thought the demand was not
"just, reasonable, and proper," and the matter was brought
into bankruptcy, and the solicitors, Messrs. Sole and
Turner, now applied for payment of their costs of preparing
the deed.

His Honour said that looking at the fact of the lapse of
time before the application was made—the Court had
refused to sanction the deed, and also in the absence of any
provision in the last act—ho did not consider that he ought
to grant the application, which would therefore be refusal.

RE THOMAS G. WILLIAMS.-JUDGMENT. .
His Honour gave judmateut in tbis case, which has been
frequently before the Court on an application for adjudica-
tion against Mr. 'Williams, who was a shareholder in the
Professional Life Assurance Company, and the question
was whether he was liable, he being a non-trader; and it
being alleged that the debt was not contracted until after the

passing of the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act of 1.867.
The claim was on calls in respect of the above company,
which was formed and the deed executed in Feb., 1849, but
was wound up under the Winding-up Act, but it was not
until July, 1863, that an order was made by the Master of
the Rolls calling upon the debtor to pay the sum of £1,921
13s sd, and there was the debt on which the petition in
bankruptcy was founded. His Honour held principally on
the case of Pw-bury, 30 Law of Chancery, 514, and quoted
by Mr. C. E. Lewis, for the debtor, that the debt was con-
tracted at the time of the execution, and not at the time the
order was made, and therefore refused to adjudicate in the
case.

LONDON, MONDAY, FEB. 1, 1864.

The English Parliament has scarcely once, within
the experience of this present generation, met under
circumstances more immiaently momentous than
those now ushering in the session which is about to
commence on Thursday afternoon. What, in point
of fact, are those circumstances ? They are momen-
tous to the very last degree, both internally and
externally—both in regard to the manner in which
they affect our foreign relations and in respect to
the way in which they must inevitably affect the
policy of our home Government. The Parliament
itself is five years old, and therefore, as parliaments
have gone since the inauguration of the septennial
system, it may be regarded as already liable,
tit any sudden turn of the wheel in counting
out the lists upon a party division, it may be regarded
as already liable at such a moment as that, at such
a political casualty, to prove to be what is called in
House of Commons' slang, at such times, Moribund
—in other words just next to death's door. Besides
this, with—again, we say, as (nominally) septennial
Parliaments have gone upon the average within the
national recollection—with a Parliament of full age,
wo have what is naturally by no means a numeri-
cally strong Government, conspicuously weakened
during the last year or two of its :existence ! M e
have an Opposition stronger both in point of
num.
hers and in point of discipline, than any Opposition,
Whig or Tory, has been for a very considerable in-
terval 7 An Opposition that has earned an immunity
from the customary charge directed against Oppo-
sitions of being systematically or even momentarily
factious ! While such is the relative position in
which the Government and the Opposition stand

FORTY YEARS IN AMERICA.
By THOMAS LOW NICHOLS, M.D.
"Few men in Americt have had wider or better opportu-
nities for observing the Life, Progress. and Disruption of a
Great Nation than Dr. Nichols has enjoyed for nearly half a
century. He has resided in twenty-three States, and is per-
sonally acquainted with the most influential men of all
parties. From an impartial stand-point he sees events
clearly, and in these volumes he gives the world the results
of ' Forty Years of American Life.' "

THAMES.

DASTARDLY ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—
Frederick Callender, a young man, was brought before Mr.
Paget charged with assaulting and wounding Mr. Henry
Pazey, the landlord of a large tavern, called the George, in
the Commercial-road.

Mr. Thomas Puzey, the son of the landlord, said the pri-
soner and a few friends were in the house on Saturday night
at 12 o'clock, while it was being closed. His father re-
quested the prisoner and his friends to make haste, and said
it was 12 o'clock, and if they did not finish their pot of
porter, he should be under the necessity of taking
it away from them. The beer was then drank, and the
prisoner's friend turned the pot upside down to prove that
all the beer was drank. His father was showing the party
out when the prisoner threw the remains of a broken glass
in his face.

Mr. Paget—Where did he get the broken glass.

Witness—l must tell you that a glass had been acci-
dentally broken. My father was very seriously injured.
He was struck between the eyes, and thirteen or fourteen
fragments of glass have been taken out of his head. He
has been in bcd ever since and cannot attend the court at
present. _

Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner until Friday next.

remove these miniature torpedoes from the
footway, but the multitude at large pass them heed-
lessly by, as in general do the official guardirms of
our safety. Many petty annoyances are to be met
with in every street in London, to wit, small
urchins, hoops, which have an ungovernable pro-
pensity to run between the legs of passers by, and
children's poramubulators. Although these occa-
sion a certain amount of inconvenience, but little
danger results from them. In the case of orange
peel, or elides, however, it is too often very diffe-
rent. It is difficult, we admit, to determine the
proper remedy for this grievance; yet something,
surely, ought to be done. The arm of the law is
all-powerful in some respects, but it does not
seem able to grapple with orange peel distributors.
A constable has the power to arrest any person or
persons letting off fireworks in the streets ; people
are not permitted to place obstructions or offen-
sive substances in the thoroughfares, beggars
are liable to imprisonment, and a constable
has authority to convey a horse to that
lucus a non lucentli, the greenyard, if it be left un-
attended in a crowded street. It was only the other
day that a young man was fined by a police magis-
trate for discharging a catapult, or popgun, in the
the neighbourhood of Kensington. Now, when so
much care is taken to avert these dangers or,
more properly, nuisances, surely something might
be done to mitigate, if it be impossible to remove
altogether, the danger of coming to the ground at
any moment by not perceiving the trap before your
feet. It would no doubt be going too far to autho-
rise the police to apprehend anyone dropping a
piece of peel on the pavement ; and as we do not
live under the rule of the celebrated HAROUN-AL-
RASCHID, Englishmen might very possibly object
to obey an order to eat the (fending pigment as
being unconstitutional. But there could be no
harm done if Sir RICHARD MItYNE were to issue
an order to his myrmidons to remove any pieces
they might happen to meet with on their respective
beats, and likewise to caution any persons they
might detect in the thoughtless practice of dropping
the peel of their oranges at their feet rather than
throwing it into the roadcay. If this or some
similar remedy were adoptd, we have little doubt
that many serious accidents would be prevented.

SPOR DING IN TELLIGENCE

BETTING AT MAN6HESTER-SATURDAY.

There was a fair attendance of members at the Subscrip-
tion Rooms this day ; but, beyond several heavy invest-
ments on Coastguard and Horse Marine for the Derby, the
business transacted was not extensive.—For the Two
Thousand Guineas 5 to 1 was offered on the field, but not a
bet came under our notice ; and, although there were a few
inquiries respecting Accident for the ChestEr Cup, his price
did not transpire, but 100 to 6 was the highest offer on the
field. None of the other Spring Handicaps were mentioned ;
and with the exception of betting on the Derby and Guineas,
speculation is at present very limited in this market. Closing

The Ost-Deutsche Post publishes the following,
under date of Trieste, 26th January :
"It is an important fact that the Italian Steam
Navigation Company has received orders from the
Government at Turin to increase the number of its
vessels which run between Ancona and Trieste.
This step is by no means called for by the necessi-
ties of traffic, as every one here is aware that it is
by no means extensive. Material of war is also
being collected at Ancona, where there are, more-
over, more troops than necessary to defend the
fortress in case of war. We are not aware from
what side Piedmont fears an attack."
