.....,
filment of which they themselves, in common with
every shareholder, may be made personally
responsible. Again, considerable expenditure may
have already taken place, which would remain
utterly useless and unproductive, but which a mo-
derate additional outlay would render exceedingly
valuable, not only in yielding considerable dividends
to the shareholders, but also in the increased facilities
for intercourse and traffic, facilities that are so essen-
tial to our trade and commerce, and to the national
prosperity. Another consideration must also be
borne in mind, that such a suspension would throw
thousands, aye, hundreds of thousands, of hard-work-
ing and industrious men out of employment, and
reduce them from comfort and independence to com-
parative destitution and misery. All these points
must be reflected upon maturely before those to
whose administration the shareholders have con-
fided their interests can decide upon stop-
ping the works already in progress, and must
be weighed against the evils of proceeding with vigour,
which can only be done by making new calls, or
acting on the powers conceded to them by the Legis-
lature of borrowing to an extent proportioned to
their capital, which can be done when a certain por-
tion thereof has been paid up and duly applied.
The almost invariable result of making a call, in
the present state of the money market, has been to
depreciate the value of the shares to the full amount
required to be paid up, or even to a still greater de-
gree. The whole capital of the company becomes
deteriorated in value. Proprietors who, under ordi-
nary circumstances, could readily pay the entire
sums for which they are responsible, will sooner
make considerable sacrifices by selling their shares
for anything they may bring than withdraw their
capital from other and more important undertakings.
Others are wholly unable to pay the sums demanded,
they are therefore compelled to throw their stock
upon the market ; the supply, therefore, greatly ex-
ceeds the demand, and prices must fall, and continue
to do so until those convinced of the utility of the un-
dertaking, and possessed of surplus capital for that
purpose, come forward to purchase largely, and thus
arrest the downward tendency. The injury done to
the trading and manufacturing interests, which must
be seriously affected by the additional demand for
money occasioned by railway requirements in this
period of general pressure and emergency, will inevi-
tably recoil on the value of the railways themselves,
and smaller returns and a diminished traffic will be
inevitable ; and this will equally be the case whether
the sum necessary to carry on the works should be
obtained by calls or loans. Loans, too, if it should be
decided on thus procuring the means of continuing
their operations,must necessarily be contracted on terms
very disadvantageous to the borrowers, and at a much
higher rate of interest than that which would be de-
demanded at another time. And as the directors
would in every case be bound to retain the money
for a certain period, generally five or seven years,
they would have to pay probably one third more than
if they consented to wait for a short time until after
the meeting of Parliament, when the nature of the
proposed financial measures, which are undoubtedly
under the consideration of the Ministry, shall have
been announced to the country.

All these considerations must be duly weighed and
reflected on before any decision can be arrived at by
those who only take into account their own individual
interests. But in any case of doubt, the benefit
should be given to that side which is for the benefit
of the people in general. Directors, too, should not
forget that although their first duty is to the
company which they represent, they are also as
Englishmen deeply interested in the national pros-
perity, and that it should not be for any trivial or
contingent advantage, that they would increase the
general distress and difficulty. Unless, therefore, the
suspension of these works would be attended with
serious and undoubted injury to the company, they
should comply with the general request that has been
so strongly urged upon them at the several meet-
ings. As we have already stated, there can be no general
rule. Every case must depend on its own peculiar
circumstances. This, however, appears to be certain,
that no new undertaking should now be commenced.
It is clear that the Legislature would readily consent
to an extension of the time originally granted for
the completion of their line to every company
that, in deference to the public opinion, so
strongly and unequivocally expressed, had con-
sented to the postponement of their operations. Per-
haps a special meeting of each company should be
held, in order that the directors may know the senti-
ments of the body they represent before the course
they are inclined to adopt is finally decided on. It
would be a fitting mark of respect that could not fail
to be agreeable to the shareholders.

The Great Scourge of humanity—a scourge more
awful than ATILLA and his Huns—more terrible than
the eruptions of a volcano—more devastating than
the throes of an earthquake—the Great Scourge of the
Cholera is at this moment advancing towards us with
silent but indomitable rapidity, if we may believe the
intelligence received almost daily from the frontiers
of the Russian empire. Its course is described as
being north-westerly, and it is said to have already
penetrated into the interior of Europe. GOD defend
us from the agonies which desolated the world in
1832 ! Those agonies are not yet forgotten. Nor
can years obliterate the recollection of a pestilential
malady so mysterious in its character, so inexorable
in its diffusion, and so inexplicably dismal in
its progress through the nations of Christ-
endom. It pressed forwards like an aveng-
ing fiend and decimated the millions, as at
the breath of a Nemesis. For fifteen summers the
earth has been rid of its tormentor. At the end of
that period it is again startled by the rumoured re-
appearance of this most horrible and destructive
plague. After ravaging the territory of the Cal-
mucks, it has disseminated its contagion among the
serfs of NICHOLAS. It has travelled from the walls
of Astracan to the hovels of Charkav, an 3 appears to
have already descended like a curse upon the inha-
bitants of Kiev, on the banks of the Dnieper. There
may unquestionably be much exaggeration in the
accounts received from Caucasia, namely, that during
an interval of nearly nine months no less than 17,050
individuals were attacked with the disease in that
kingdom, and that out of these 6,310 perished.
There may be likewise a certain degree of exaggera-
tion in the assertion that during its passage through
the streets of Astracan 137 persons were smitten
down with the cholera in a single day, namely, upon
the 30th of July. But, heightened as in all likelihood
the intelligence is by the fears of its recipients, there
cannot be a moment's doubt but that the pestilence is
again abroad upon the wings of the wind, and that
it is stealing gradually towards the central portions
of continental Europe.
With the experience of 1822 before them, it be-
comes the bounden duty of the Legislature to provide
such measures of precaution as may tend to mitigate
the miseries resulting from the Cholera in the event
of its advancing so far in a south-westerly
direction as to assail the population of these islands.
Better even than the vigilance of the most stringent
code of quarantine are those simple measures of sa-
nitary legislation for which we have clamoured so
long and so earnestly. A contagion that defies the
obstacles of quarantine may be deprived of a consi-
derable proportion of its virulence by the systematic
cleanliness introduced among a whole people by a
proper scheme of sanitary legislation. Is not this
self-evident? And, being self-evident, shall its im-
portance be depreciated when the Great Scourge of the
Cholera is for a second time impending over the
plains and cities of the eastern hemisphere ? God
forbid Cron forbid that men should be so blind to
the dictates of reason, or, rather, that they should
shut their eyes against the truth which is forced
upon their comprehension as if by instinct ! The
warning voice which comes to us from the waters of
the Dnieper tells us of the danger ' • the combined
arguments of experience, reason, and instinct, pro-
claim to us how that danger may be in the readiest
manner avoided, or, in the more terrible extremity,
how its anguish may be in the most efficient manner
assauged.

A total and (not to employ the word with any
conventional meaning) a radical change is necessary
throughout society before the health of the multitude
can be considered in anything like security. Mean-
while preliminary efforts should be made to diminish
the evil consequences which are hourly flowing from
the miserable state of disarrangement by which our
villages and towns are characterised. For example, it
were hopeless to anticipate a thorough ro.organiza-

tion in the sewerage throughout the kingdom, but
until that re-organization can be properly effected, let
such simple precautions be adopted for the diminu-
tion of the pestilential exhalation from public drains
as that of periodically pouring into those lairs of
fever and infection a given quantity of the disinfect-
ing fluid. That extraordinary advantages result
from the employment of this most important disco-
very, we can ourselves attest, having very recently
witnessed experiments which proved the existence
of a powerful disinfecting property in the liquid
concocted in the laboratory of the philanthropist. A
bucket full of water drawn from a tan-pit, and im-
pregnated to such a frightful extent with decayed
animal matter, that the stench was absolutely unen-
durable, was in a few seconds rendered as inoffensive
as a cup of spring water, by adding to it a small
portion of the disinfecting fluid. Immediately the
two liquids are combined a thick scum rises to the
surface, thereby adding to the advantage of destroy-
ing all the pestilential exhalations that of afford-
ing to the agriculturist a wholesome and nutri-
tious manure. It is such sanitary precautions as
this of the disinfecting fluid that we would willingly
see adopted in every city, and town, and hamlet in
the United Kingdom. Were they to be enforced upon
every municipality and local guardianship by an enact-
ment preliminary to a comprehensive law of sanitary
reform, the ordinary mortality of the country would
be very considerably diminished. Then, indeed, we
might await the dispensations of DIVINE PROVIDENCE
without any undue fear for our poorer brethren, and
tarry even the dread arrival of the Cholera with
calmness and resignation.

We learn from Berlin that the trial of the political
prisoners implicated in the late Polish revolution was
going on rather more rapidly than at the commence-
ment. About eighty cases had been decided, but few
of the sentences had been promulgated. M. MIIIRO.•
LAWSKI has been condemned to death. The defence of
this gentleman was bold and animated, and in some
parts so affecting that his judges shed tears.

The Pallade of Rome announces that Pizzo, in
Calabria, has joined in the revolt, and that the insur-
gents have put to death the family TRENTA CAPILLI.
The banner of the insurgents of Calabria bears a red
cross on a white ground, surrounded by as many
green crosses as there are States in Italy.
A letter from Italy, in the Augsburg Gazette, an-
nounces the death of Admiral BANDIERA, the father
of the two unfortunate officers who were executed at
Cosenza.

The cholera is making rapid progress. The Em-
peror of RUSSIA has deferred his proposed visit to
Poland, in consequence of the approach of the disease
to that kingdom. The number of the persons who
died of cholera between the 16th October, 1846, and
the 14th June, 1847, in the Caucasus, amounted to
6,318. The cholera reached its greatest intensity in
Astracan on the 25th July. On the 31st of that
month 131 persons died. It still raged in Georgia,
and so great was the apprehension felt in Trebizonde,
that all communications had been interrupted between
that city and Batoum, where it was believed to have
manifested itself. At Erzeroum the number of
victims was inconsiderable ; not more than 20 or 25
cases occurred daily, one-third of which were fatal.
The poorer classes were principally affected. The
disease had appeared at Redout Kale, but was of a
mild character. After quitting Persia, it had re-
entered that country by the Carabagh.

A general armament is taking place in the Canton
de Vaud and some others, of all men from eighteen
to forty years of age. It was feared that this mea-
sure would produce a collision between the cantons
previous to the assembling of the Diet.

Accounts from Athens have been received to the
20th of September.

General KITZO TZAVELLAS, Minister of War, has
been appointed President of the Council.

CoLETTI was buried on the 12th Sept. The whole
diplomatic and consular body, the civil and military
authorities, and the deputies and senators attended
the funeral.

The KING issued an ordonnance on that day, com•
manding all the civil and military employes of the
State to wear mourning for five days for COLETTI.

The French steamer from Alexandria arrived at
Malta at three P. M. on the 24th ult. She reported
that the India steamer had arrived at Suez, and that
the Ariel, with India Mails, would leave on the 21st.

Madrid papers of the 25th ult. have arrived.

They publish the letters addressed by ESPARTERO
to the QUEEN and the Ministers. The letter to the
QUEEN is as follows :

" Senora,—On receiving the royal decree of the 3d,
my first impulse was to express my gratitude for the
favour your Majesty deigned to confer on me by
calling me to occupy a post in the Senate, and also
the lively satisfaction 1 feel in being permitted to
address myself to your Majesty.
" Your Majesty being graciously disposed towards
the conciliation of all Spaniards, hitherto divided by
political oscillations, the majority of the nation will
sustain with enthusiasm a desire as benevolent as it
is generous ' • but if there remain obstacles to over-
come, your Majesty may permit your generous heart
to yield to its own impulse. Let not your Majesty
lay aside the valour inspired by sublime actions, in
the certainty that thus, who, with so much constancy,
combated, even before the time when your Majesty
could comprehend their sacrifices, to defend the
throne based on the constitution of the State will
never abandon your Majesty in the hour of danger.
" The nation, Senora, hopes much from your Ma-
jesty ; counting on a support as noble as it is pa-
triotic, your Majesty will not forget that you are
called to restore its splendour to the monarchy, and
that the reward which awaits your Majesty is as
great as the work you have undertaken—a glorious
renown and the benedictions of an entire people.
" Senora, on giving expression with so much frank•
ness to the sentiments which animate me, I do so in
the hope that your Majesty, convinced of my respectful
veneration, will benignly receive the words of one
who with loyalty served your Majesty and the State
—of one who, though far from his native land, has
never ceased to pray for the preservation of your
Majesty, because on your preservation depends that
of Spanish independence.
"At the royal feet of your Majesty,
" THE DUKE OF VICTORY.
" London, Sept. 12."
The communication to the Government is addressed
to the Minister of the Interior :

" Most Excellent Sir,—l have received the Royal
order of the 3d instant, which your Excellency has
done me the honour to transmit to me, and which in-
forms me that her Majesty has been pleased to name
me senator of the kingdom, the duties of which office
I shall endeavour to perform worthily.
"I trust that your Excellency will be so good as
to place the accompanying letter in the royal
hands of her Majesty, and at the same time express
to her my unalterable sentiments of gratitude and of
loyalty.

" Those sentiments, as your Excellency will per-
ceive, are in complete harmony with the generous
and patriotic principles of the preamble of the Royal
decree of the 2d of September, which does so much
honour to the Ministers who subscribed it.

"May God preserve your Excellency many years.
"THE DUKE OF VICTORY.

" London, Sept. 12."

According to the Eco del Comercio, her MAJESTY
received Colonel GUERRA, ESPARTERO'S Secretary, in
the kindest possible manner, and inquired with great
interest 89 to the health of the Duke and Duchess of
VICTORY.

In reply to the laudations of the disinterestedness
of France, in which the Heraldo is wont to indulge
the Clamor Publico says—

" Our colleague may have excellent reasons for not
bringing into public discussion the too notorious pro-
jects of the neighbouring kingdom; but it will per-
suade no one that our powerful ally, regardless of its
traditions, no longer interferes in our affairs, or that it
respects the independence of Spain. Neither exer-
tions nor force have beers diminished merely from the
fact of the question having changed its ground and
aspect. With the same perseverance the Cabinet of
the Tuileries endeavours at this very moment to carry
out its favourite plan of placing a crown on the head
of the French Duke, as its old designs of placing under
its dependence constitutional Spain, beginning from
the death of Ferdinand, and ending with the double
marriage which sealed its Machiavelic system. And
we hazard nothing in assuring that at this day its
efforts are still greater to reap the fruits of the nego-
tiations and cabals of ao many years, all directed to
introduce into our royal race a scion of the fortunate
family raised up by the revolution of July. It is net
possible for France to desist from its constant policy
at the very moment when it touches, as if with the
hand, the realisation of its golden dreams."
The Three per Cents, were done at 28 for eaishi the

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
—.---

The ex-King of Westphalia, Prince JEROME B01(1..
PARTE arrived in Paris on that day,
The govenorship of the Invalides has been declined
by Marshal SOULT.
The Duke DE NEMOURS assembled the officers of
the various regiments at Compeigne, and addressed
them as follows previously to the breaking up of the
camp :

" Gentlemen !—You have by your labours been
exercising the two great powers which direct all
others—the intellectual and the corporal powers, and
thus you have attained those solid as well as brilliant
results which merited and received from the King the
high approbation he express,d at his recent visit. The
country also applauds these noble exercises whence it
derives its confidence in you, as you derive the means
of serving it. There is no doubt, gentlemen, ano-
ther service in which the feats are real—a service ob-
tained by some, desired by all—a service which our
brothers in arms in Africa are now performing, and
which you have performed, and which you are ready
at any time to perform again. But, however glo-
rious it may be to pay the debt of blood, it is
not to that the services of the army are limited.
Guardian of the domestic hearth, as well as of the
open frontier of the country, let it not be forgotten
that it annually receives into its ranks, from their
paternal thresholds, and returns back to them, an im-
portant portion of the population of France, formed in
this virile school to habits of sacrificing themselves for
their country. On regarding you, everybody must
at once conceive what will be your worth in war—
but permit me to tell you what is your worth in
peace. The flag, gentlemen, is not only serviceable
in the face of an enemy, if it then leads on to safety
and to victory—it still remains in times of peace and
calm a symbol of honour and discipline, of disinter-
estedness and duty, amidst the citizens. A. crowd of
honourable, virtuous, and patriotic feelings are at-
tached to these coleurs, to their cherished image, and
it is not without benefit to our hearts that, even
in peace, our eyes become enlivened, as they are
to-day, in following the motions of the national
banner. It is, then, useful that we should unfurl
it at times, and rally ourselves around it in num-
bers, in these exercises which moralise as much as
they improve our minds; which, by assembling
and uniting the different branches and corps of the
army, prove the mutual dependence of every part of
the great military family, and confirm their union
by the identity of its object, the energetic sympathy
of concurrence, and the common joy of success.
Thus, gentlemen, not only the good and dear recol-
lections, but the real advantages of this assemblage
will rest in the minds of all—we shall have derived
from it, in various ways, liberal instruction, which
each of us hereafter will employ in the service of the
country. Before we part, gentlemen, accept my best
wishes, with the eulogiums I am so proud to bestow
upon you. Report them to your non-commissioned
officers and soldiers, those modest but faithful and
devoted companions of your labours and partici-
pators in all your glory, and to whose ears I regret
I cannot make my voice reach. Not one of you,
not one of them will ever escape my memory or lose
my affection ; and I shall be happy if you, in re-
turn, with the remembrance of the days we have
just passed together, shall preserve for him who was
your chief a feeling of friendship and a confidence
which is proof against time."

A sort of diplomatic congress is about to be as-
sembled at Ferrires, the seat of the Baron DE
ROTHSCHILD. M. GUIZOT arrived there on Thurs-
day, and the Princess LIEVEN and several other diplo-
matic notabilities are expected there.

REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
(Before Mr. T. Y. M'Cualsm.)
Mr. Henry Willis, residing at No. 76, Lombard-
street, was objected to by the Liberals. It appeared
that the objection was made in the first instance by
Mr. Croucher, the agent of the Liberal party.
Mr. Brown contended that the objection was not a
valid one, on the ground of the objection having been
made by Mr. Croucher, whose name did not ap-
pear on the register, it having been previously
struck off.
Mr. S. Smith held that the objection ought to be
allowed to stand, as at the time when the objection
was made Mr. Croucher's name was upon the list,
which was quite sufficient to meet all the require-
ments of the Act.
Mr. M'Cuaisnn said, that he would give Mr.
Brown a case for the Common Pleas on the subject,
if he thought proper to adopt that course.
Mr. Brown did not feel justified in acceding to the
proposition of the Court at that moment; he would
give a positive answer in the course of the day.
The person objected to was subsequently proved to
reside at Epsom, which was beyond the distance
allowed by the Act, and his name was expunged on
that ground.
Henry Hart, residing at No. 3, Bevis Marks, was
objected to on the ground of his not having paid the
full amount of the rates, he having on the. plea of
poverty obtained a compromise of them from the
overseers of the parish.
Name expunged.

SOUTHWARK.
(Before S. C. C. Fisia, Esq.)
ST. GEORGU'S.
Andrew Loutan claimed to he admitted on the list.
The reason of his name not being inserted by the
overseer was, that he had misdirected his residence,
which should have been 146, Stanhope-place, instead
of Sussex-place, Southwark-bridge road.
Claim allowed.

Mr. J. lulison (overseer) here observed that he
had reason to believe that some 2,000 names were on
the list which were in the rate- books ; some of them
paid only ss. week rent.
Mr. Day (vestry-clerk) denied that such was the
case, and was proceeding with a statement, when he
was interrupted by
The BARRISTER, who said that if the statement of
the overseer was correct, a gross violation of the law
had been committed ; and recommended the gentle-
men to investigate the matter themselves, and com-
municate to him the result.

Mr. Tallson subsequently stated that he had dis-
covered several cases of error which he alleged.
Mr. Day
lupalaydsead to said
dhhd
eawas prepared to show that the
parpaid the rates.
The BARRISTER said—That it was incorrect to
put on the list the names of every person who had
not claimed to be rated. The list on the church
door, which was the one he had to revise, must be
made up from the rate books.
Mr. Levy here produced the rate book for
October, and it appearing that the landlords of the
persons alluded to had paid their rates the matter
dropped.
NON-ATTENDANCE OF OVERSEERS.
The BARRISTER inquired, whether the overseers
for the parish of Rotherhithe, who had not attended
last Thursday at Bermondsey, were present ?
Mr. Dourant (one' of
the overseers) said—That
arrangements had been made for the attendance of
one of the overseers, who had attended, but did not
arrive until the Court was over.
The BARRISTER—Is he here to explain the cause of
his non-attendance?

Mr. Dourant answered in the negative.
The BARRISTER—Then he must appear and explain
he matter him-elf.

The lists of the other parishes in the borough were
gone through, to which there were no objection of
any importance.

The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Trea-
sury have directed that lentils and yams be added to the
list of articles with regard to which the navigation laws
have been suspended until the Ist of March next.
The Earl of Ellesmere and the Bridgewater
Trustees have commenced the rebuilding of Bridgewater
House on a splendid scale. The Noble Earl and
Countess, and the Ladies Egerton have left Worsley
Hall for Harrowgate.
RIM EXCELLENCY TIM COUNTESS OP CLAREN-
DON.—The following bulletin was issued by Dr. Evory
Kennedy on Wednesday morning, at the Viceregal
Lodge :—" Her Excellency and infant passed a good
night, and are going on most satisfactorily."
EMIGRATION TO NEW ZEALAND.—Yesterday the
New Zealand Company appointed two vessels of 600
tons burden, to convey 200 settlers each, from the Clyde
and the Port of London on the 30th of October next, to
their new settlement, Otago.

MONEY" and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
heavy, and throughout the week has been drooping,
although partly sustained by the accounts from America.
Sales yesterday 3,000 bales.
Railway Shares at Liverpool have been declining, and
were yesterday very gloomy.
The Bank of England averages for the week, to the
25th ult., show the following results on a comparison
with the previous week :
Notes issued now .£22,190,675
Decrease 14,530
Rest, now
Increase
Public deposits now 9,457.851
Increase
Other deposits now

Seven day and other bills now 819,785

Notes now
Decrease . . 160,650
Total now

Bullion now 8,782,703

Active circulation now

The above return is not different from that given on
this day se'nnight in its main features. The circulation is
being augmented, and the Bank is still liberally disburs-
ing the resources placed at its command by the accumu-
lated deposits. The reserve of Rotes has also been made
available, and until the dividends are paid, we trust the
Bank will persevere in its present course, and afford, by
advances upon mercantile paper, in preference to Stock or
Exchequer-bills, every possible accommodation to the
mercantile community. Everybody now flies to the
Bank, and although not half the bills offered can of ne-
cessity be accepted, we may judge that the additional
advance of 2,000,000/. upon other securities within the
last fortnight, even at si, 6, and 64 per cent., the charges
made, must prove an essential relief.
Very little can be judged of concerning the trade of
the country, or the balance in our favour by the present
quotations of the foreign exchanges, which, however, are
nominally favourable.
The demand for money in the Stock Exchange has
been very urgent this morning, and in the discount
market also there is a " squeeze," owing to the prepa-
ration making for Monday, the " fourth," we appre.
head that the wholesale houses will have more difficulty
than the mercantile establishments.
A writer in the Banhers' Magazine, makes some re-
marks upon railway expenditure which are judicious
and apposite. It is the business of shareholders them-
selves, and with the power vested in them, one cannot
but express the most unfeigned astonishment that they
exhibit such apathy, while openly and unceasingly com-
plaining. The writer observes,
" That the calls already, and he process of being,
made on railway shareholders, have been far too numer-
ous and heavy is not denied ; but the remedy for this
evil is simple of itself, and easy of application. Let
meetings be called by requisition, and resolutions
passed, restraining directors from making further calls
without the consent of other meetings called to consider
their expediency. In May last, I addressed a letter to
directors, through the railway press, upon this very
subject ; in it I recommended that—' Where contracts
have been made, the abandonment of which would occa-
sion loss, the amount their completion would require
should be calculated, and made known to the share-
holders ;" that where contracts have been made
(but the works not commenced), and can be
called without loss, they should be so;' Where
none have been, none should be made ;' Where
works have been engaged to be completed within a cer-
tain time, that time should be extended ;' and last and
chiefly, that in all cases the amount that would be re-
quired to be paid up during the next nine or twelve
months should at once be advertised.' Prophets have
no honour in their own country ; so the foregoing was,
of course, disregarded. I then called upon the share-
holders to take the matter into their own hands at the
ensuing half yearly meetings, and pass resolutions bind-
ing directors to commence no new works, to make no
fresh calls, without the consent of a special meeting to
be convened for that purpose, but all in vain, directors
continue to call, shareholders to slumber. Hine

East India Stock has been 228 to 223, and Bank Stock

Railway Shares have all been again most seriously
depressed, and it seems useless just now to press sales.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAT.—The ar-
rivals this week are considerable. To-day we have a
large attendance of buyers, and there is a good extent

Barley sells full as well. Oats nearly maintain late
prices; shelling Is. per load lower. Beans more in de-
mand, and is. per Tarter higher.
