thus affected to come forward and imitate the course
of the meetings held at Liverpool and Manchester,
and as several parties were about to act in
Glasgow. Those who took a part in these
meetings agreed that many of the rail-
ways in which they and others had embarked
their capital were utterly unnecessary—that, in fact,
they were not called for by the wants of the country
—(Hear, hear)—that, in short, they were railways
merely formed by men for their immediate gain, for
the purpose of being carried out by madmen. During
the mania men became afflicted with insanity, and
connected themselves in their simplicity with projects
which could never be carried to a successful issue.—
(Hear, hear.) He attended a meeting the other day
of a company, the capital of which was proposed
originally to be 2,000,0001., in 501. shares. The
promoters could not raise the funds, and the capital
was reduced to, he believed, three-quarters of that
amount, and the 501. shares were reduced to 251.
30,0001. was required without delay, and of
the first call but one-third was paid, a
quarter of the second, and upon the third
only 1101. In such a state of things he felt
bound to urge upon the chairman the impolicy of
proceeding, saying, the company might punish him
to the extent of the property he possessed, and com-
pel him to go into the Gazette, and to forfeit his
shares ; proceeding could lead to no other result, but
the chairman was proof against the voice of
reason. He then turned to the shareholders,
who held a greater risk than he did,
some of them having paid up 81. or 10/.,
and warned them, if they did not prevent the directors
from going on with the scheme, that they would
have to pass through the same ordeal—the Gazette !
they could not fail to be ruined step by step. Both
they and the chairman saw the force of his *dyke.-
The chairman said calls were as 'necessary for rail-
ways as bricks for the building of the house, and that
therefore they must be paid. On inquiry he found
that the scbeme was one the proprietors of which
should lose no time in availing themselves of Earl
Dalhousie's Act and at once abolishing it; and if
those present to-day wished to get rid of the liabilities
which they had without due consideration imposed
upon themselves, they must adopt a similar course ;
but if they remained' passive they would continue to
be preyed upon by the long train of needy persons—
attorneys, engineers, directors—connected with the
majority of the lines (Hear, hear.) He concluded
by suggesting that some gentleman should propose
a resolution in conformity with the object of the
meeting.
A Mr. HENDERSON, a barrister, considered that a
committee should be appointed.
Mr. IsAAcs said those railways which had got
their money did not move a step, and laughed at the
shareholders. He suggested the adoption of a peti-
tion, calling upon the Legislature to pass ap Act to
compel the winding up of all projects which
had not obtained their Acts, and the return of
what remained of the deposits to the shareholders.
Earl Dalhousie's Act operated most unjustly upon
shareholders ; it was the "stupidest thing he ever saw."
For instance, the directors of Remington's Direct
Manchester held 140,0001. of the money of the share-
holders, and refused to give an account.—(Hear,
hear.) If the case of shareholders so treated was
laid before Parliament, a remedy would be provided.
After a long pause,
The CHAIRMAN said as no one appeared disposed to
move in the matter, -he thought it would be advisable
for him at once to declare the meeting at an end.
Mr. HENDERSON—Do you know who called the
meeting ?
The CHAIRMAN—No, Ido not; I know no more
about it than the man in the moon.--(Laughter.)
Mr. HENDERSON—It iS too bad to call gentlemen
here in this way; it is a hoax—it is all moonshine.—
(Laughter.) The persons who have played such a
hoax upon us ought to be punished.
The CHAIRMAN—I think it has been called by
some railway secretaries.
Mr. HENDERSON said, men of business were pre-
sent, and by their aid this embryo hoax might start
into a practical fact.
A GENTLEMAN thought_ that they should adjourn
at once, and endeavour on a future occasion to obtain
a better audience—for instance, a meeting of the
shareholders of the different companies, as a general
measure, might prove inoperative, for it would be
impossible to wind up some some schemes. The
movement was a good one.
The CHAIRMAN said the Legislature would no
doubt, if proper representations were mode, pass a
measure to release the money tied up in abortive pro-
jects, which he was informed amounted to 20,000,000/.
That those schemes could prove profitable was utterly
impossible. He had been told by opulent bankers
and others, that they had subscribed their names for
hundreds of thousands of pounds almost without know-
ing what they were doing, and, at the same time, that
they would have sought the advice of a solicitor be-
fore becoming responsible for 10/. or 151. in other
speculations. When qui tam actions were brought
by blackguard attornies against Lord George Ben-
tinck and his friends an indemnity Act was passed,
and he was at a loss to know why railway share-
holders should not be placed in a similar position.
A GENTLEMAN said railway companies could only
proceed for the first instalment.
The CHAIRMAN suggested that some one should
move the adoption of a petition, to lie in some public
place for signature, the expense of which be would pay.
A motion to that effect was agreed to, and
Mr. HENDERSON moved, and Mr. FOWELL seconded,
the appointment of a committee to forward the object
of the meeting, to consist of shareholders and the
chairman, which was agreed to. The former gentle-
man,to withdraw his name, which we suppose was however, amidst much boisterous mirth, wished
ac-
ceded to.

A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and
this extraordinary meeting proceeded out of the
tavern.

THANKSGIVING for the HARVEST.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stit,—A day of thanksgiving to Almighty God for
a most bountiful harvest being appointed for Sunday,
the 17th inst., when collections in all churches and
chapels are to be raised throughout the nation for the
relief of Ireland, why should the people of poor old
England be so much forgotten or overlooked ?
Famine prices and famine reports caused want and
distress amongst millions for many months throughout
this country; the privations of the working people
and the poor were severe, and borne with exemplary
patience.
Now that the all-bountiful God hath blessed the
land with a most abundant harvest, and added plen-
teousness of food from the distant parts of the earth,
surely with a day of thanksgiving there should be a
day of festivity and rejoicing, in which the working
people and the poor might participate. Such has
been the case on former occasions, why not again ?
Let the people have one general day—a holiday, a
jubilee. There was a: time for a fast, now for a
feast, when the poorest of the poor may not be for-
gotten.
Let a few well-disposed
persons in all cities, towns,
and parishes, immediately assemble, and raise sub-
scriptions to entertain the community. The writer
of this address proposed the jubilee Oct. 25, 1809,
and prepared and conducted a dinner in the Royal
Riding School, Brighton, for 2,000 men, women, and
children, on the following scale

lost the night before off the Rame tread. They have
not since been heard of, but their hats and some portion
of the boat has been washed ashore on the whitesands.
One of the men has left a widow (who has since been
confined) and a large family to lament his loss.—

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
(Before Mr. T. Y. MTHRISTIE).
The Court proceeded yesterday with the lists of the
various parishes in the Wards of Cheap, Cordwainer,
and Dowgate, but none of the cases brought forward
presented any feature of sufficient importance to call
for any special report.

MARYLEBONE.
(Before Mr. F. BAILEY.)
Yesterday Mr. F. Bailey, the barrister, appointed
to revise the list of voters for the borough of Mary.
lebone, held his first court at the court-house,
Marylebone- lane.
Mr. Greenwood appeared for the Conservatives
but no:agent attended on behalf of the Liberal party.
The overseers for the various districts in Maryle-
bone and Paddington gave in their lists.
The number of new claimants were :—in All
Souls, 5 ; Trinity, 5; Rectory, 2 ; St. Mary's, 3 ;
Christchurch, 24 ; in all 39.
The number of voters objected to were :—in All
Souls, 31 ; Trinity, 25 ; Rectory, 19 ; St. Mary's,
35; Christchurch, 64; in all 174. All the objections
were made by the Conservatives.
An objection was taken to the name of Mr. H. J.
Barrett, 71, Upper Berkeley-street, remaining on the
roll, on the ground that he was not occupant as either
owner or tenant of the premises specified. A lease
existed IN hich bore the names of Mr. Barrett's two
partners in business ; but as his name did not appear
there, it was contended that he had no interest in the
premises.

Mr. Barrett stated that he was in partnership with
I Messrs. T. and J. Barrett; that the lease had been
purchasekky auctipil in the name nt .those gtattc:
men, but that he was the actual occupant of the.
premises ; the omisssion of his name from the lease
was entirely accidental. His partners went back-
wards and forwards on the premises, but he lived
constantly there.

Mr. BAILEY decided that Mr. Barrett was tenant
under the co-partnership. His name was accordingly
retained on the roll.

An objection had been taken to a voter whose name
stood on the roll as " Weller," whereas it ought to
have been Mellar ; but it was withdrawn, and the
error erdered to be corrected.

Mr. Mellar applied for costs, seeing his attendance
there had caused the loss of his afternoon's employ-
ment.

Mr. BAILEY said, the error was an unintentional
one, and he did not think it was a case for costs.
Mr. George Overton claimed to be enrolled as
tenant of a house, 81, Great Earl-street, Lisson-
grove. _ _

It was objected that the claimant had not paid his
rates.

The claimant said, the rates had been paid by the
landlord, and he understood that, in such a case, he
was entitled to be enrolled.

Mr. BAILET decided that the claimant must, ac-
cording to the Act, be rated himself, and disallowed
the claim.

The lists were then gone through, and the resul
of the revision was as follows :
Claims allowed ... ... ... 5
disallowed ... ~, ••• 3
Objections sustained ... ... ... 169

This day the Revising Barrister holds his court
in the Vestry-room, Gordon-street, for the revision of
the lists of St. Pancras; and to-morrow at the Court.
house, Marylebone, for the parish of Paddington.

COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Le Marielen, of the 4th of August, furnishes the
annexed intelligence on general commercial matters :
"Exchange on England has not varied; the large
supplies of specie which have continued to arrive,
principally from India, and the little business doing
in shipping for the present, will keep the rates with-
out alteration ; 3 to 4 per cent. discount is the rate
for six months' bills. Local discounts are effected at
from 10 to 12 per cent. Treasury bills have ruled at
2 to 21 per cent. premium.
" Sugar—Nothing worth notice has been doing in
purchases. None of the new crop has come to
market, but a few hundred bags have arrived for
shipment. The last crop may now be said to have
been brought to a close, although some trifling ship-
ments may remain. The total of the quantity shipped
to the end of July is 132,906,8161 b., against
102,168,1681 b. last year. Of this quantity of
132,906,8161 b., 124,582,4891 b. were destined for the
United Kingdom • 4,131,3531 b. for the Cape of Good
Hope ; 3,856,8801 b. for the Australian colonies ; and
the chief portion of the remainder for Zanzibar.
" Rice—This article in consequence of short arrivals
has advanced to 4 dolls. 50c., with a prospect of going
still higher.
" Provisions in general are becoming scarce, and
good prices have been obtained. In piece goods little
is doing.
" Freights—The Eleanor is loading for London,
and takes freight at Si. As there* will in another
month be a demand for tonnage, it is possible that it
will become scarce and high rates be obtained.
"Prospects of present Crop—The very favourable
weather during the last month will tend to increase
the quantity of the present crop, and competent judges
in the different quarters assert that it will surpass that
which has preceded it. Some parties estimate it as
high as 146,000,0001 b., which, less about 6,000,0001 b.
for local consumption, would leave 140,000,0001 b. for
shipment." •

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT ANDOVER.—Mr. W. Earle,
the second son of Henry Earle, Esq., of this town, sus •
tained a very serious accident on Tuesday, the sth inst.,
whilst in the fields for the purpose of shooting game.
Having loaded his double-barrelled gun with a cart-
ridge, upon presenting and firing at a hare, the gun
burst and most severely injured his left hand ; fortu-
nately being near his home, medical assistance was
promptly obtained, and we regret to state that ampu-
tation of the -left thumb was found necessary. It is
hoped he is in a fair way of recovery. Mr. George W.
Lecke accompanied the young gentleman, and at about
twenty yards' distance heard the whizzing noise of the
fragments, which passed very near him, but fortunately
without his sustaining any injury.
PENDING DIVORCE OF PRINCE ALBERT OF PRUSSIA.
—BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 16.—The President of the Royal
Court has been charged with instructions to demand the
divorce of Prince Albert Henry Frederick of Prussia,
brother of King Frederick William IV., from his wife
the Princess Wilhelmina Frederika Louis Charlotte
Marianne, sister of the King of Holland. These high
personages have lived asunder for the last five years, and
have always most carefully avoided being simultaneously
in the same city.
ADVERTISEMENT DUTr ON PARAGRAPHS.—A de-
putation from the Provincial Newspaper Society, com-
prising Mr. James Swinnerton, the Mayor of Maccles-
field, Mr. Gedge, of the Bury Post, and others, has
waited on the secretary of the Board of Stamps and
Taxes, and had a satisfactory interview with him in
reference to the recent order of the Stamps and Taxes
for charging every paragraph relating to medicine with
duty. Mr. Keogh stated that the order in question was
not only intended to apply to paragraphs of quack medi-
cines, but also to include "other matters,"suchasdentists'
preparations, &c. It would not, however, apply to any-
thing which could be supposed to be really volunteered
by the editor; such as notices referring to advertisements
of concerts, sermons, or meetings for charitable objects,
reviews of books, or notices of inventions of public
utility, which appeared to be the genuine expression of
the editor. But if the officer whose business it was to
tax the advertisements observed the same paragraph in
different papers, he would conclude it to be supplied by
the advertiser, and charge it with duty. The like could
not be drawn between such paragraphs as were paid for
and such as were not, as it was well known that some
journals were sufficiently independent to require payment
for the same paragraphs which others would insert gra-
tuitously, and the Stamp-office could not distinguish
between papers charging and papers not charging. Any
announcement made by a private party to promote pri-
vate interests was chargeable as an advertisement,
whether paid for or not.—Bolton Free Press.

STATISTICS OF CLERKS.—It is estimated, on a fair
calculation, that there are no less than 200,000 clerks in
this country alone. Out of 47,218 persons employed on
74 railways in actual operation no less than 3,756 come
under this definition. On a fair computation it is
believed that there are 100,000 Assistant Drapers : the
aggregate earnings of all must, therefore, amount to up-
wards of 250,0001. a year—a small sum for the services
of so important and numerous a body.—Civil and Mer-
cantile Journal.

ALARMING FIRE AT GLAIIGOW.-011 Saturday
morning, about half-past two o'clock, a fire was dis-
covered in a wood yard in Holme-street, occupied by
Mr. John Toshack, cabinet maker and upholsterer, and
Messrs. William M'Farline and Co., joiners. The
alarm was given immediately after the discovery of the
fire, but so rapid was the spread of the flames, that in
little more than a quarter of au hour after it was ob-
served, the roofs of the wright's shops had fallen in, and
the entire stock of wood in the yard was one mass of

livid flame. In about an hour the premises presented
but the blackened ashes and burning embers of their
materials. We are sorry to learn that not an article has
been saved in either of the establishments, and that the
whole of the workmen's tools have also been destroyed.
It is not even conjectured how the fire originated. We
understand, as far as we can learn, that the amount of
property destroyed will be somewhere about 1,0001., and
we regret to learn that the whole is but very inade
quately insured.—North British Mail.
Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial-
office, from the Governor of the Mauritius.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.--The fluctuations in the Stock Market
have continued to-day with undiminished violence,
and the difference between the price for money and
for the account on the 14th instant has occasionally
been greater than that of yesterday, it having
amounted at one period to 14 per cent. Consols for
money opened at 84 to and declined to 83g. An
intimation that the Bank had in some cases allowed
the repayment of one.half of the loans due on Exche-
quer-bills to stand over till the 13th instant then
caused a reaction to 84k. This was not maintained,
and they again went down until they touched 83i,
and the closing price was 83:1 to 844. For the account
the first price was 844 to 8 ; they then declined to
84k, advanced to 85, and closed at 84i to i; while
for the account on the 25th of November the quota-
tion was 851 to After business hours the quotation
for this account went to 841,- 85. Bank Stock left
off 190 to 193 • and India Stock, 222 to 228. The
market for Exchequer-bills presented in an increased
degree the same extraordinary features as were
noticed yesterday. The first quotation was 30s. to
20s. dis., and after some large sales had been effected
at 305., they left off without improvement. The
pressure for discounts at the Bank throughout the day
was again extremely heavy.
There was a general indisposition on 'Change to-
day to deal in foreign bills, and, as on the two pre-
ceding post days, a large amount remained unsold.
In many instances, material advances in the rates
were submitted to with the view of disposing of
paper.

As a necessary consequence of the state of the ex-
changes above mentioned, it appears that an arrival of
gold from Paris took place at the Bank this after-
noon, to the amount of about 60,0001. or 70,0001.
Happily to-day we are without any failures to re-
cord, and it appears also that the report of the favour-
able way in which the bills which fell due yesterday
were met has been very generally confirmed.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF A.
STEAM-BOILER AT LEEDS.
LEEDS, ONDAY.—A most terrific boiler explosion,
by which two persons have been killed and three
others seriously injured, occurred about one o'clock
to day, at a foundry called the Round Foundry, in
Water-lane, Leeds. The foundry in question is oc-
cupied by Messers. Beacock and Tannett, machine-
makers, who hire only been in possession a few
months.

The boiler house, a low brick building, contained
two waggon-shaped b!.ilers, pkced side by side. One
of them exploded, earr3 ing away the roof of the build-
ing, and also destroying the roof of another building;
a few yards distnnt, from the boiler house. The
upper part of the boiler was torn from the bottom
portion, and projected a distance of between 20 and
30 yards.

From the size and strength of the boiler the explo-
sive force must have been terrific. Not only have
the plates been torn off by the rivets, but, in some
instances, the plates thetmelves have been rent com-
pletely through.
One of tl:e persons who was killed is the engine-
man, named Newton. The other is a girl, named
Harris, who was going up an entry adjoining the
boiler house when the uxplusion occurred. The three
persons who have been injured, and whose injuries
have not yet proved fatal, were taken to the Leeds
General Infirmary, where they are now lying in a
very precarious state. The cause of the melancholy
occurrence is not known, and the engine-man being
killed will render it impossible to obtain evidence as
to the state of the boiler immediately before the ex-
plosion.

DEATH OF A WIFE THROUGH

THE VIOLENCE OF HER HUSBAND.
Last night, at the William the Fourth, Beauchamp-
street, Leather-lane, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an in-
quest on the body of Matilda Clifton, aged 38, who
resided at 6, Beauchamp street, who died on Sunday
morning last from the effects of a kick on the lower
part of the abdomen, received by deceased from her
husband.

The evidence of the deceased's landlady, Margaret
Goodwin, and Mr. Col.:lough, the surgeon who first
attended, were now taken in full by the Coroner; but
as they appeared in the police report of the case
yesterday, we proceed at once to the evidence of the
daughter.
Elizabeth Clifton, aged 12, stated that she was in
bed in the front attic on Sunday morning last, about
half-past twelve, when her lather and mother came in
and sat down to supper. Both were intoxicated, the
latter more particularly. Deceased made use of the
most gross and abusive epithets to witness's father,
who acted with much forbearance; but after submit-
ting to much abuse and violence, he was unable to
control his passion, followed his wife out on to the
landing-place, and in the sight of the witness kicked
deceased in the abdomen, who cried out as if in pain
He expressed remorse for his act, and the daughter
positively declared that deceased, after receiving the
kick, instantly returned to the chamber, and sat down
supported by her husband.

The CORONER here recalled the daughter, and
questioned her closely as to the length of time that
her mother had remained on the landing-place, and
the witness persTisted in describing it as under a
minute. Mr. IN akley observed that he found it
impossible to reconcile her statement with that of the
surgeon, and suggested to Mr. Pollock whether it
were not possible that there might be some more
seriousinjury of the parts as yet undiscovered, and
the consequent propriety of adjourning the inquiry
until another examination should be made, but Mr.
Pollock expressed himself confident in his diagnosis.
The Coroner here ordered the room to he cleared, and,
after some consultation, the 'daughter was again re-
called, and, in re-stating her evidence, altered the
time to five minutes, and the jury, taking the dis-
parity in her statements into consideration, and the
excitement natural on such a dreadful scene having
been transacted before her eyes, declared themselves
satisfied with the surgeon's evidence.
The CORONER replied that if that were the case the
rest of the evidence was clear beyond a doubt, and
he considered it unnecessary tor him to recapitulate it.
It was conclusive from the evidence before them that
the death of the deceased was caused by an act of un-
lawful violence on the part of her husband, and they
must record a verdict of manslaughter against him.
Verdict accordingly.

The two parties, Edward and Robert Bristow,
who had been remanded on suspicion of having made

Surrey, have been examined at Guildford gaol, before
the Earl of Lovelace (chairman) and several other ma-
gistrates. Edward Bristow brought forward sufficient
evidence to prove that be was not in the preserves when
the attack was made. The bench discharged the pri-
soner Edward. The bench said that nothing had been
proved on the part of the other prisoner to alter the
previous opinion of the magistrates, and he was again
locked up.
