MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast-
wise, has been confined to only 2,350 quarters, mostly
from Essex, Kent, and Lincolnshire. Fresh up to-day
the receipts by land carriage were limited; hence, the
show of samples of both red and white was small. There
were very few large buyers in attendance; nevertheless
the demand for all kinds of Wheat ofhome produce
ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on
Monday, and a good clearance was efficted. Rather
over 13,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in.
Selected qualities were in moderate request, at full rates
of currency. In low kinds very little was doing,
at late rates. Floating cargoes of Wheat were
very dull, but Indian Corn was 6d to is dearer.
The show of English Barley was small, that of foreign
moderate. malting parcels sold freely; other kinds
slowly at late rates. No change took place in the value
of Malt. The show of samples was tolerably good. The
imports of foreign Oats having exceeded 40,000 quarters
the Oat trade was dull, and prices were 6tl to Is per
quarter lower than last week. Beans and Peas com-
manded very little attention; bukFlour moved off steadily
at full currencies.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
Beasts, the general quality of which was good. All
breeds commanded a steady sale, at fully Monday's ad-
vance in the quotations; indeed, in some instances the
primest Scots were a shade higher. The numbers of
Sheep were seasonably extensive, nevertheless the
Mutton trade ruled somewhat firm at very full prices.
A few prime old Downs realised 4s per 81bs. Lambs
were quite as dear as last week. From the Isle of
Wight 450 came fresh to hand. We had an active
sale for Calves, at an improvement in value of quite 2d
per Sibs. The Pork trade was dull. Mulch Cows were
in improved request, at from 171 to 191 103 each, in-
cluding their small calf.

ing and Hunt, at public sale, being landed in bad con-
dition, sold at prices proportionate to quality and con-

PORTLAND, MAT 19.—This being the wed-

the breakwater, the day was ushered in by salutes from can-
non placed for the occasion, and ,a display of flags on the
prominent parts of the works, as well as a royal salute of 21

hearty cheers from about 300 workmen, who were regaled

After dinner the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drank
with due honours. The "Bride and Bridegroom" was given,
and most enthusiastically responded to by the chairman and
all present. On Mr. Roberts, of the
W., eymonth Town
Council, proposing" Mr. John Harvey, the Promoter of the
Breakwater," it was extremely well received and responded
to by the chairman, E. P. Smith, Esq., who expressed
in able terms, the high sense of the estimation in which
Mr. Harvey was held, that he understood a subscription was
shortly to be set on foot to present Mr. Harvey with a testi-
monial, for the great labour and expense he must have been
at in so zealously agitating this great national undertaking.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
CHF. "EP AND HOLYHEAD.
A sp,cifil meeting if this company was held at the.
Eustoa Station yesterday—Mr. S. M. Peto, MX, in
the chair—to consider a Bill for making an extension
line from the Chester and Holyhead Railway, and other
purposes.
The advertisement convening the meeting haying been
read,

The CHAIRMAN said,—Gentlemen, I shall have occa-
sion to nedres.s to you a very few remarks. That pot.
lion of the Bill relative to the Birkenhead extension
having been abandoned, at least for this year, in conse-
quence of certain arrangements entered into between the
London and North-Western and Birkenhead and Che-
shire Junction Companies, in which arrangements,
need oct say, your interests have been duly consulted,
the arrangements of the Bill may now be said simply tO,
consist of two heads—one of which authorises the crea-
tion of preference stock in lieu of the present debentures
of the company—such preference stock being gee'
ranteed by the London and North-Western Compaq',
It will be found also that the Bill prohibits the issue or
the preference stock for any other purpose than the liqui`
dation of the debenture debt, which has been created:
under the powers of the company's various Acts of pa'
liament. I need not, lam sure, point out to You that
the simple fact of the London and North-Western Rail'
way having consented to endorse our preference stock
will enable us to raise money at a lower rate of interest
than we could do upon our credit only; and to show,
how great the importance of any such saving must be
to us, I need only remind you that a reduction of 1 per
cent, on the interest of our debt will effect e,
saving of 10,0001. a year. Therefore, it ap-
pears to me, that the measure must commend
itself to you as a most judicious arrangement oni
the part of the board, combined with an act o`.
great liberality on the part of the directors of the L°l3'
don and North-Western Company.—(Cheers.)
Gen-
tlemen, you are aware that we have met with great
tempt made by
difficulties and opposition in Parliament, from an a."-
'
running powers the Shrewsbury companies to obtain.
over your line. I am happy to be en:
abled to say that the attempt has been frustrated, on
that the evidence which they adduced in support of their
policy was of such a character as to induce the chair-
man

so long as that company continues in close connez°r!
with us, sotioug must we pursue that policy without
hesitation—not only because it is due to that compiley
that we should do so, but because we feel that there is
no other course to pursue consistent with your interest*
and there is no other system so calculated to develop the
resources of our line. I led lam bound to say so meobt

nected with the company, I have found nothing but one.

(Loud Cheers). With regard to our second pelerenee
stock, in order to preserve us from loss by issuing'
it at a disadvantage, we are indebted to that coor
pany for a temporary loin, and no doubt when the time
approaches for repeying the money we shall be enabled
to issue that stock on better terms than we how 0°,t1,,,„
I may teke this opoortuntty of saying that the develop-'

the report of our engineer, that the line

'
Government engineer in about ten days when"
we may expect to bring a large traffic
the line from the slate and stone quarries of that
district. With respect to the quarries at Bangor, th:
" stem," or rate of orders, is three months beyond t"h
supply, so that at the present moment we cannot bring
the supplies that are required over the line. I shalt. 0
happy to give any shareholder any farther inforrnatie,
he may require, but I must remind you, that so farce
business is concerned, the meeting is convened for qn
special purpose—that of considering the Bill to "Whih
I have alluded.
The Bill having been read, a brief conversation en-
sued, from which it appeared that the debenture debt*
which it was proposed to replace by the the new stcp.
amounted to 1,084,0001., and it was expected t
it might be raised with the guarantee of 'VI
London and North-Western Company, at 31 °I "to
per cent. The shareholders would have hereafter
(it
t
determine the terms on which it should be issued*
but if they attempted to limit the shares, by giving tea
company the option of paying them off, the chain"
stated it would necessarily raise the rate of interest
_l7
which they could be issued. The chairman would never
consent to the share register being open to the proprie-
tors without a special vote of the shareholders them'
selves on the subject; but he had no hesitation in stating
that whereas the six directors appointed by that (Tivoli
pany were bound to hold 20 old shares each,
the aggregate, they possessed upwards of I,o°o' therebyf
showing the confidence they had in the comPanY' and
course, the six directors appointed by the London tte.m
North-Western Company were not called,upon to:Ps:cats
any large qualification; they represented the great sur
which that company had in this.

The Bill was unanimously approved, and a cog

Statements having been put forth, first, that the cost of manufac-
ture of certain French Candles, largely imported into this country. is
greater than the selling price ; secondly, that the manufacture of
such candles in this country would infringe existing patents here ;
the Directors of the British Sperm Candle Company beg to say that
If such statements are intended to apply to this Company, they are
I`. 'lmtloundecl in fact.
First—They havia,falk.statigled Alien:waives thaktho-Candles hi-
!flirt° friiptiifectfrontrtirnet.;•and sent Iseriiretnner
The name of "Exhibition Sperm," are greatly superior in quality to.
y composite candles hitherto produced, a fact proved by the large
demand, exceeding several hundred tons, sold in this country and the
e4iddles, which, although charged with fully 20 per cent. extra on
left cost price in the shape of freight, duty, and charges, have yet
eft a very satisfactory return.
B"•°,4lY—That as this 20 per cent. would be altogether saved by
the
manufacture of the candles in this country, and as the cost of
the raw material here will be much less than abroad, with greater
~.economy in the manufacture itself, the Directors, supporteA by the
rePort of their own engineer, after inTecting the works is Paris,
have satisfied themselves that the manufacture and sale of the can-
dles in this country will afford a very large per centage on the capital
embarked.
.ThirdlY— • .
Although the fact of the sale of the candles in this coun
t •
7 for the last six months is in itself a demonstration of the validity
°1 the patent, yet the Directors, before appealing to the public, took
the Precaution of consulting the first patent authority on this point,
and they have been fully advised that the patents for Great Britain
and the Colonies, securing the peculiar process applicable to the
manufacture of these candles, do not interfere with any other patent,
And are perfectly valid and subsisting.
