Sir P. MosTirx moved, and the Very Rev. Canon Rocx,
D.D., seconded a vote of thanks to the Archbishop Elect,
for presiding over them that day. (Cheers.)
The meeting agreed to the proposal unanimously, and
gave three vociferous and hearty cheers for the nenly
appointed Archbishop.

Dr. IaNNING, in returning thanks, said he should do
very ill if he was to detain them after the length of time
they had been already in that room, but he should do still
worse if be did not give free utterance to the fulness
of his heart on the matter before them. (Cheers.) He
thought there should bo a cathedral erected in London ;
and although they could not expect to equal Notre Dam's,
yet they could erect a building in which their holy
religion could be properly celebrated. Such an
edifice they had not at present. He had tl.tought
of the objections to the plant of those who proposed, schools,
but he felt that the clergy and laity must exert themselves
to the utmost in the cause of education, and that, as the
erection of the cathedral was a transient act, to be done but
once, it would be well to set about it in earnest, and he
begged to assure every one present that the memorial,
dedicated as it was to the memory of one of the most
learned, kindest, and best of men, should have his most
earnest and best support. (Cheers.)
The proceedings then terminated.

son in the chair, for the purpose of considering a bill now
before Parliament conferring further powers on the Groat

IN RE 11. CARPENTER.-A MESSENGER IN THE HOUSE OP

of 12,525 acres of land for $148,642. The cash collectedin

lIORRIBLE WIFE MURDER.—John Clarke, a pit-
man, at Leadgate, between Durham and Newcastle,
was committed by the coroner on Saturday on a charge
of murdering his wife. lie is a native of the county of
Wexford, Ireland, and came to reside at Leadgato a short
time ago. On Saturday evening week his wife went to
seek him at a public-house. She met him in the street,
when it would appear some angry words passed between
thorn. The husband then commenced a violent assault on
his wife, knocked her down and kicked her repeatedly. She
managed to get home, whether she was followed by her
husband. Angry words were again exchanged, and the
husband took up the poker, and, after using threatening
language, threw it at his wife. It entered the left cheek,
knocked out four teeth, penetrated under the tongue to the
root in a diagonal direction, and fixed itself in the throat.
On Wednesday last dangerous symptoms manifested 'hem-
selves, and on Friday afternoon she died. The husband,
when apprehended and charged with the wilful murder of
his wife, replied, "I did it; I did it with that" (pointing to
the poker).

BUFFALO AND LAKE HURON.

The report of the directors states that the railway in
Canada had been worked by the Grand Trunk Company for
five months ending December last. The next accounts
would, therefore, bo made up to June 30 for six months.
The division of net revenue was £7,241 for the five months,
or at the rate of £8,689 for the half-year, in comparison with
tho corresponding period for 1863 of £8,668, and for the
last half-year of a.debit of £6,708. The rate of exchange
between Canada and the United States fluctuitted consider-
ably during the past half-year, and the price of gold varied i
from 190 to 240, thus making the loss arising from dis-
count on American currency X 78,413 on the united sys-
tern of the Grand Trunk and Buffalo and Lake Huron
Railways. A very heavy charge of £81,540 had also been
made for renewals. Assuming £lOO,OOO a year sufficient
to cover ordinary renewals of way, the charge against
the present half-year showed an excess of £31,540
expended by the Grand Trunk Company, of which
the Buffalo Company's proportion would amount to over
£l,OOO. Adding to this sum the loss on currency borne by
the company, say £lO,OOO, the net earnings of the Company
would have been equal to an income of £22,689 for the
half-year. Considering the very favourable alteration in
the rate of the American exchange, it was thought the net
earnings henceforth ought to present a very satisfactory
contrast to the accounts now furnished. In consequence
of the interruption in the Parliamentary Session in Canada
suspending for this season the ratification of the agreement
with the Grand Trunk, the company's existing administra-
tion must be continued. The amount of coupons repre-
senting back interest sent in for capitalisation under the
arrangement with the bondholders amounted to £48,830.
A deed of trust had been entered into for the &posit of the
coupons with Messrs. Rawson, Holland, Hy de, and Moxon

The Courrier de la Drome gives some information
as to the progress of silkworm breeding in that depart-
ment and the Ardeche. Much anxiety prevails among
the silk breeders in those departments with respect to the
forthcoming crop. The silkworms bred from Japanese
seed give great hopes, but the others produced from
foreign seed cause some uneasiness. Owing to the want
of sufficient seed the number of silkworms is much less
than usual, and there is a vast quantity of mulberry leaves,
for which it is feared there will be uo demand,

EASTERN BENGAL.

The report of the directors states that the traffic for the
half-year ending Dec. 31 last, as compared with that for the
two preceding half years, showed a steady and gradual in-
crease. The gross receipts for the half-year ending Dec. 31
amounted to £46,732, against £42,603 for the corresponding
half of 1863, showing an increase of £4,129. The working
expenses amounted to £25,080, or 53.66 per cont., against
£22,127, showing an increase of £2,953 ; and the net re-
ceipts to £21,652, against £20,476 in the corresponding half
of 1863, showing an increase of £1,176. The total number
of passengers conveyed during the half-year was 539,700,
against 514,990. The number of first-class passengers was
21,181, against 20,054, and of second-class passengers
24,425 against 20,692 in the corresponding half of 1863. The
tonnage of goods, minerals, &c., had been 31,663 tons
against 23,679 in the corresponding period, showing an in-
crease of 7,984 tons. The receipts per train mile amounted
to 7s. old. against 6s. 101 d. in the corresponding half of
1863. The traffic receipts per mile of railway open were
£425 against £387. The expectations held out by the com-
pany's agent in the last half-yearly report, that many of the
native merchants and shippers would make the terminal
station at Kooshtee the point of arrival and departure for
their boats carrying cargo consigned to Calcutta, were now
being realised. The result had been that the merchandise
traffic for the first 13 weeks of the present year amounted
to £15,157, as against £4,561 received for the same period
of the previous year. The receipts from both the passenger
and merchandise traffic during the said 13 weeks as com-
pared with those of the corresponding period of last year
showed an increase of above £B,OOO, and of above £19,000
as compared with the same period of 1863. The works and
permanent way wore in good order, and the rolling stock
had been maintained in an efficient state. The report of the
agent stated the expenditure incurred in maintaining
the line continued to show a saving of 32 per cent. by
this work being carried on by the company's staff, instead of
by contractors. The expenditure on capital account in the
construction and equipment of the line amounted to
£1,512,438.

PUNJAB.

By advicos received by the directors of this company,
dated the 20th ult., the Government had sanctioned the
opening for public traffic of the lifie between Lahore and
Mooltan on the 24th of April. The section from Lahore to
Umritsur, 32 miles in length, had been opened for a con-
siderable time, and the remaining portion, 220 miles, was
no doubt opened for traffic on the 24th ult., making the
total length from Umritsur, where it joins the Delhi Rail-
way, to Mooltau, 252 miles, now in operation. The steamers
of the Indus Stearn Flotilla continued the communication
from Mooltan to the Scinde Railway at Kotree. It was
stated that the grain crop this season in the Punjab wag,
one of the largest ever known, and that cotton was being
retained-there until bettor prices were offered at Kurrachee.

MID-WALES.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at
the office, Bank-building, Lothbury, Mr. Whalley, M.P., in
the chair, to consider a bill empowering the Manchester and
Milford Railway Company to make certain new railways in
substitution of their authorised railway and the Aberyst-
with branch, and to extend the time for the purchase of
land and the completion of works.
The CHAIRMAN said there were only three clauses in the
bill which affected the interests of the company. The first
gave running powers to the Mid-Wales Company over the
Manchester and Milford Railway; the second conferred the
joint use of stations, and the third authorised traffic ar-
rangements. He moved that the bill be approved, which
was seconded and agreed to unanimously.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

A meeting of this company was held at Manchester yes-
terday, in compliance with the standing orders of the House
of Lords, for the purpose of considering a bill now before
Parliament.

Mr. GEORGE Wrisos, the deputy chairman, presided,
and moved :

" That the bill conferring powers on the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway Company fortho construction of branch
railways and works, and the acquisitiou of railways, and
for other purposes, be approved, subject to such alterations
as the directors might consider desirable, and as the Legis-
lature sanction or require."
Mr. DUGDALE, director, seconded the motion.

The CHAIRMAN observed that the whole of the exten-
sion sought for by the company this session would only
increase the capital account by about £160,000.
The motion was agreed to unanimously.

The CHAIRMAN said that the bill for the construction of
new railways near Bradford, with a branch to Thornton,
in connection with the Great Northern Company, had been
withdrawn, and they should probably apply for another
bill to meet the wishes of the neighbourhood next year.
The meeting then separated.

EASTERN BENGAL.

The report of the directors states that the traffic for the
half-year ending Dec. 31 last, as compared with that for the
two preceding half years, showed a steady and gradual in-
crease. The gross receipts for the half-year ending Dec. 31
amounted to £46,732, against £42,603 for the corresponding
half of 1863, showing an increase of £4,129. Tho working
expenses amounted to £25,080, or 53.66 per cent., against
42,127, showing an increase of £2,953 ; and the net re-
ceipts to £21,652, against £20,476 in the corresponding half
of 1863, showing an increase of £1,176. The total number
of passengers conveyed during the half-year was 539,700,
against 514,990. The number of first-class passengers was
21,181, against 20,054, and of second-class passengers
24,425 against 20,692 in the corresponding half of 1863. The
tonnage of goods, minerals, &c., had been 31,663 tons
against 23,679 in the corresponding period, showing an in-
crease of 7,984 tons. The receipts per train mile amounted
to 7s. old. against 6s. 10id. in the corresponding half of
1863. The traffic receipts per mile of railway open were
£425 against £387. The expectations held out by the com-
pany's agent in the last half-yearly report, that many of the
native merchants and shippers would make the terminal
station at Kooshtee the point of arrival and departure for
their boats carrying cargo consigned to Calcutta, were now
being realised. The result had been that the merchandise
traffic for the first 13 weeks of the present year amounted
to £15,157, as against £1,561 received for the same period
of the previous year. The receipts from both the passenger
and merchandise traffic during the said 13 weeks as com-
pared with those of the corresponding period of last year
showed an increase of above £B,OOO, and of above £19,000
as compared with the same period of 1863. The works arid
permanent way were in good order, and the rolling stock
had been maintained in an efficient state. The report of the
agent stated the expenditure incurred in maintaining
the line continued to show a saving of 32 per cent. by
this work being carried on by the company's staff, instead of
by contractors. The expenditure on capital account in the
construction and equipment of the line amounted to
£1,512,438.

PUNJAB.

By advices received by the directors of this company,
dated the 20th ult., the Government had sanctioned the
opening for public traffic of the line between Lahore and
Mooltan on tho 24th of April. The section from Lahore to
Umritsur, 32 miles in length, had been opened for a con-
siderable time, and the remaining portion, 220 miles, was
no doubt opened for traffic on the 24th ult., making tho
total length from Umritsur, whero it joins the Delhi Rail-
way, to Mooltan, 252 miles, now in operation. The steamers
of the Indus Steam Flotilla continued the communication
from Mooltan to the Made Railway at Kotree. It was
stated that the grain crop this .season in the Punjab was
one of the largest ever known, and that cotton was being
retained there until better prices were offered at Kurrachee.

FRANCE,

BOURSE, May 24.—A somewhat better feeling
has pervaded the market to-day, and the principal
Securities have been held firmly at yesterday's clos-
ing quotations. This situation, however, may pro-
bably be attributed to the desire of holders of Stock
to maintain their position pending the forthcoming
liquidation rather than to any healthy disposition
on the part of speculators to effect important trans-
actions. The Stock of the New Mexican Loan,
although not yet officially quoted, continues to be
dealt in outside the Bourse ; but the apprehensions
caused by the recent intelligence have far from sub-
sided, transactions having taken place at a discount
of 15fr. on the price of its emission. The market

THAMES.

HAMLET OF RATCLIFF.—A meeting of the parishioners
" duly qualified" took place this morning at the Green
Coat School, in White Horse-street, Highway, to elect
eight vestrymen in the place or stead of those who retire
by the uffluxion of time, and five auditors. Mr. Henry
West, church Warden, in the chair. The hamlet contains
16,000 inhabitants, the ratepayers number about 2,000, and
the attendance of parishioners amounted to 14 only.
Mr. George Elnor, the vestry clerk, explained that notice
of the meeting had been given in the manner directed by
the act cif Parliament. The printed notices were posted
on the door@ of the churches and chapels in the hamlet
three weeks ago. The principal inhabitants had been in-
formed by circular of the meeting, and notices had been
affixed to the wane in all parts of the hamlet.
Mr. Nathan, a vestryman, and chairman of the Lime-
house District Board of Works, of which Ratcliff forms part,
proposed the re--election, for three years, of Messrs. Bar-
rett, Creer, Charring-ton, Hughes, Randall, Shepherd, and
West, who retired by the effiuxion of time, and Mr. Millin,
a surgeon, in the place of Mr. Pf est, who had served for
three years and declined to become a candidate again. He
attributed the thin attendance of parishioners to the confi-
dence reposed in the present vestry.
The proposition was agreed to.
Five auditors of accounts were, after some delay, owing
to the difficulty of obtaining candidates, appointed for
one year.
Thanks were voted the chairman and clerk, and the
mooting adjourned.

M. SAINTE-BEUVE, the new senator, is about to
devote some of his Monday causeries in the Constitutionnel
to the " History of Julius Ca3sar." Hitherto he declined
doing so, lest he might be supposed to write his articles
with a view to the Senate. Being now installed, there is
no reason to postpone his criticism. M. Sainte-Beuve is
ikewise engaged in writing the history of French litera-
ture under the first empire.
