the facts we had before us in coming to a resolution on
this important matter. By the contemplated mea-
sures, upwards of 200 miles of railway will be placed
under one management, and the superior economy and
advantage of working long, as compared with short
lines, are now too well known and appreciated to re-
quire any commendation. The directors, therefore,
earnestly recommend the approval of this Bill as a mea-
sure which cannot fail to be of the greatest importance to
the shareholders.—(Applause.) The Chairman then sub-
mitted drafts of the various Bills seriatim to the meeting,
which were all unanimously approved of, and a resolu-
tion adopted empowering the directors to make the
necessary application for obtaining the Bills in the
ensuing session of Parliament.

EXETER, DORCHESTER, AND WEYMOUTH.— On Sa-
turday a meeting was held under the Dissolution Act
Mr. Heale in the chair, when it was moved by Mr. Po-
cock, and seconded by Mr. Cohen, "That the company
be dissolved, and that the dissolution be not taken as an
act of bankruptcy." Scrutineers were appointed to ex-
amine the votes. W hilst this duty was being performed,
Mr.lPocock,fas chairman of the shareholders' committee,
proposed to read their report, but it was not thought
neeessary to do so. Mr. Pocock then stated that they
had taken great trouble in looking into the affairs of
the company, and the only thing they could compkiu
was the purchase of shares by the company, which,
however, they had had the honesty to acknowledge
at the first meeting, and the shareholders''
committee believed it arose from an error of judgmtnt
rather than from any desire to benefit individuals. Mr.
Cohen stated that the managing committee had afforded
ready access to all papers necessary to be examined in
conducting the inquiry, and that the conduct of Mr.
Crew, the secretary, had been most assiduous and oblig-
ing. He had the satisfaction of stating, as the result of
the labours of the shareholders' committee, that the sum
of 6,0001. had been deducted from the accounts sent in,
which had enabled the management to return a guinea
per share, and the sum of Is. 6d. per share still remained
to be paid to the shareholders. He also stated .that
Messrs. Chauntler and Westwood, and Mr. Strick, the
solicitors, had kindly taken into consideration the posi-
tion of the company, and deducted upwards of 1.5001.
from their accounts. The scrutineers here reported that
the number of votes recorded in favour of the dissolution
of the company amounted to 6,140, being more than one-
third of the shares issued prior to the 31st of March last,
and the Chairman thereupon declared the company to be
dissolved.

CLERKENWELL.

Frederick Blackstone was charged before Mr. Coulee
with attempting to pick pockets in the pit of Sadler's
Wells Theatre, and also with having struck police-con-
stable 171 G, a tremendous blow on the head, with a
thick stick, loaded with lead at the end.
The policeman stated That he was on duty the previous
night at Sadler's Wells Theatre, when he observed the
prisoner, who was accompanied by several other well-
known thieves, enter the theatre, and having watched
them closely, and observing the prisoner try several
persons pockets, he took him into custody, and had re-
moved him as far as the lobby, when the prisoner sud-
denly turned round, and struck him a violent blow
upon the top of the head, which felled him to the
ground. The house, as usual, was much thronged, and
a number of the prisoner's companions succeeded in
getting him away, but he was followed by several con-
stables through the crowd, and again taken into custody.
He was committed to hard labour in the House of
Correction for one month, without the alternative of
a fine.
Two diminutive boys, named William Bailey, and
John Pally, were charged with stealing from Mr. Ayrc,
a surgeon and chemist, in High-street, Camden-town, a
number of valuable smelling-bottles, and William Har-
rison was charged with having received them, well know-
ing them to have been stolen.
The prosecutor stated that within the last few weeks
the prisoners had called at his shop several times,
under pretence of having some trifling prescription
compounded, and on almost every occasion be missed
some article from the shop after their departure. On
Tuesday they camelagain, and as they were leaving be
searched them, when he found upon l'ully two silver
mounted scent cases. The prisoners then said they had
stolen several other silver mounted bottles from the
house and sold them for three-halfpence each to Harri-
son, who keeps one of those shops, half marine store
dealers and half confectioners, where children too often
get their initiatory lesson in thieving, by exchanging
small portable articles tor" sweet stuffs."

TONNAGE.

The rate of freight to Great Britain continued up
to the arrival of the Overland Mail on the 4th instant
nominally as last quoted ; it afterwards fell to 51. 15s.
per ton to London, and 6/. to Liverpool, at which
engagements were entered into. A firmer tone has,
however, now been given to the freight market by the
destination of several vessels to load at Tuticorin and
Colombo for China; the vessels from the latter port
(Colombo) are to take on troops. To-day 6/. 10s. is
the rate asked for Liverpool, 6/. ss. having been re-
fused ; but there is no alteration in the rate for London.
To China engagements have been made at 6 rupees to
7 rupees per candy.

EXCHANGE.
The rate upon London has declined considerably
since our last, consequent upon the market having
been cleared by the local joint-stock banks soon after
the last mail's dispatch of which almost all the bills

with remitters, Bank bills not being now to be had at
a better rate than Is. 11d., and other local ones at
ls. 110., six months' sight; these are the rates of the
day. On Calcutta, the rate is 99i rupees for 100

fortner prices, The wool market continues heavy,
a ndl sales limited. The manufacturers are as indiffe-
rent about buying, at the present time, as the dealers
are about selling.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The trade in our piece hall
bec;crmes more and more depressed. Neither plain
nor fancy goods can meet with purchasers, and the
manufacturers are refraining, as much as possible,
from adding to their stocks, which are already very
heavy. We have had one of the worst markets for
yarn we have yet experienced, arising from the
general mistrust brought about by the many distress-
ing fAilures. Production is continuing to be more
and more limited, but the price of wool prevents any
gen eral reduction in the price of yarn, except in cases
of individual need. The purchases of long wool are
only made to supply daily wants, and rates continue
nearly the same, except for cash purchases, where
money is wanted. There is not much doing in short
wools, and prices remain unaltered.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market has been
very dull. We have a few foreigners in the town,
but thear make no heavy purchases. There was never
known a period of greater anxiety, and want of con-
fidence is so felt that there is but little desire on the
part of manufacturers to do business.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We cannot say much about
this day's market, the transactions actually done
having been most insignificant. The causes of the
present stagnation of business are too well known to
reluire special mention. But, with all these adverse
circumstances, our commercial body of the district
may be considered sound; and even the busy tongue
of mischievous rumours does not reach it. —Man-
giester Guardian.

LOND')N, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1847.

We frequently read in old legends of prophecies
fulfilled, predictions verified, through the operation
of the very means that had been adopted to defeat
their realisation. In the common daily transactions
of life we repeatedly find the most elaborate calcu-
lations defeated, and undertakings that have been
commenced, in order to attain some particular object
leading to a directly opposite result, and occasioning
the very evils against which they were especially
directed. A close examination will show that a
similar fate has attended the laws which, since the
termination of the late war, have been enacted for
the regulation of the national currency. One of the
chief arguments urged in behalf of the Act of 1819,
was, that by means thereof a fixed and uniform value
would be given to money, and that so soon as the
principle was fully established and brought into per-
fect operation, there would no longer be any danger
of those violent fluctuations, those repeated alterna-
tions which are so deeply injurious to the productive
classes, and are so much to be deprecated by
all in any manner interested in trade or com-
merce.
This was considered so extremely desirable, that,o__although the then directors of the Bank
England felt it necessary to offer a protest
against the measure "lest by any possibility their
silence might be
which construed
tokinto a tacit acquiescence
in a system
away from the Bank anything
like a discretionary
commercial
?! world,„ consideration of the necessities
and distresses of the
and which,
as they stated, " might possibly compromise the
in
universal interests of the empire
of agriculture, commerce, and
revenue,"
vall the relations
enue," the Act
received the almost unanimous sanction of the Legis-
lature, its consistent and zealousoP
MA-mug ATTWOOD, having been induPcendenttio ll‘ir.ea
the House when the question was put. But the
directors of the Bank were not the only parties who
expressed their fears as to its probable conse.
quences; the protest of the Bank directors was laid
before the then. Chancellor of the Exchequer for the
consideration of the Ministry, but that of nearly 500
of the most respectable merchants of the city of Lon-
don, was presented to Parliament, in the constitutional
form of a petition, in which they expressed their opi-
nion " that it would tend to a forced, precipitate, and
highly injurious contraction of the circulating medium
of the country, and that the consequences of such
contraction would be to add to the burden of the

public debt, greatly to increase the pressure of the
taxes, to lower the value of all landed and commer-
, ppialtproperty, seriously to affect both public and pri-
.

At a dinner given yesterday at the London
Tavern, by the General Purposes Committee of the
Corporation of London, a splendid silver salver was pre-
sented to John Wood, Esq., late Chairman of the Com-
mittee, in testimony of the ability and attention dis-
played by him while presiding over their deliberations
their
during the year 1846, and as a permanent record of
high estimation of his public services and private
worth. Mr. 'Wood has been for several years an able
and most active member of the Corporation, and has,
upon the occasions on which there have existed differ-
ences between the two Courts with regard to their pri-
vileges, distinguished himself by great firmness in support
of popular rights, at the same time that his exertions, as
much as those of any other individual, were calculated
to prevent any injurious collision. Mr. Whetharo, the
present Chairman of the Committee, was in the chair.
Alderman Gibbs, the Chairman, and other members,
warmly eulogised the conduct of Mr. Wood, whom the
whole body of the Corporation considered to be remark-
able for the urbanity of his disposition, the steady ap-
plication of his talents to the advantage of his fellow-
citizens, and the disinterested views which he took of all
to a
public questions. About forty gentlemen sat down
done
dinner, which was served up in the finest style, and
justice W in a spirit as honest and sincere.

ACHROMATIC LAMP-GLASS.

Messrs. M'Neill and Co., of St. Martin's-lane, have
recently obtained a patent for an improved lamp-glass.
The improvement is exceedingly simple, as it consists
in merely colouring the glass blue, and it may be
modulated from the faintest tint to the deepest colour,
whilst in a liquid state. For years blue spectacles
have been used by persons with weak vision, and
occulists strongly recommend the use of them to
persons so afflicted. The effect of this colouring
destroys the red or yellow glare of light, but particu-
larly of artificial light, which is exceedingly injurious_ to
the eyes if they are exposed to its influence for any
length of time. These glasses, which we understand
are used in the Bank of England, piroducea beautiful

INFLUX OF IRISH POOR INTO THE METROPOLIS.

—Yesterday and Monday large bodies of liriichingpeaasnadntisn,
lately employed in Kent and Sussex hop-pc
different parts of the country getting in the harvest, con-
tinued to pour into the metropolis, in expectation of
getting some of the bounty that they had heard was
gathered on Sunday last for their especial relief. The
workhouses in the eastern parts of the metropolis have
been regularly besieged, and large troops have taken up
their positions nightly in front of St. Martin's and Mary-
lebone workhouses, the casual wards being unable to
contain them all. They are invariably accompanied by
women and a formidable array of children, who com-
pletely put the parochial authorities to their wits -end.
Their object seems to be to obtain a free passageback

ORDNANCE MAPS.

In reply to Mr. HUME,
Colonel ANSON stated that the Board of Ord-
nance intended shortly to issue the Ordnance maps at
half the former price.
Mr. HUME said, if they would allow him to
supply the maps, he would do so at 6d. each.—

NAVIGATION LAWS.

The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in
reply to Mr. Sandars, stated that it was not the in-
tention of the Government to propose any further
suspension of the Corn or Navigation Laws.
Mr. SANDARS gave notice that he should move,
after the recev,, for a return of the imports from the
suspension* of those laws up to the Ist Sept., and from
the Ist Sept. to March next.
TRANSPORTATION.

Mr. EWART inquired if five hundred convicts,
recently sent to Van Dieman's Land, were to remain
in the colony, or to be sent to Port Phillip ?
Sir G. GREY was understood to say that they
were to be sent to:Port Phillip, and that, if their
,:onduct was good, they would receive tickets of
leave, which would place them out of all restraint,
except that they must not come into this country

tested Elections were called to the table, and took

WOOL.

Scarcely any imports of Wool have taken place into
London during the past week. For all kinds of Wool,
in the private contract market, the demand is in a very
dull state; yet, as a better demand is shortly expected,
the holders are firm, and will not submit to any reduc-
tion in value.
London, England, 1847-12-13

GOVERNMENT.

Mr. PATTISON called upon the Right Hon.
Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer to ex-
plain who were the authorities that informed him
that the Bank had suggested the rate of interest
mentioned in the letter of the Government, and that a
portion of the profits of their transactions, in accord•
ance with it, should be carried to the public credit.
As the authorities of the Bank had been much blamed
in consequence of the statement recently made
by the Right Hon. Gentleman, he thought that some
explanation ought to be given.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
complained that the Hon. Gentleman had not given
him notice of his question ; nevertheless, he was in a
position to state that the Governor and Deputy-
Governor of the Bank were frequently with him at
the time in question, and in the course of the com-
munication he had with them, they agreed that it
would be fair and proper that the provision in ques-
tion should be inserted in the letter.
Mr. PATTISON had seen the Governor and
Deputy-Governor this morning, and could assure
the Hon. Gentleman that they were no parties to the
transaction.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Lord J. RUSSELL said, I wish to give a notice
with respect to the business of the House. In the
event of the Royal Assent being given to the Crime
and Outrage Bill at as early a period as we expect,
it is my intention to move, on Monday next, that the
House, at its rising on Thursday, should adjourn until
the 3d of February.—(Hear, hear.)
London, England, 1847-12-13

(LEFT SITTING.)

SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELBCTION.—MANCLIESTER,
FRIDAY.—This election, which has already caused so
much discussion, is now finally fixed to take place on
Monday, the 20ih inst., at Newton. Mr. Henry's com-
mittee received a communication to this effect from the
under sheriff last evening. No opposition is now anti-
cipated, although the Tories, at the beginning, threat-
ened a fierce one. Indeed, opposition would now
he hopeless. Mr. henry's committee now numbers
2,200 names, all of them electors, beside a large number
of positive voluntlry pledges, consisting of clergymen
of the Church of England, magistrates, merchants, ma-
nufacturers, and, in fact, of all classes of electors.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 10.—For refining
descriptions there is a good demand, but the supply
offering continues most indifferent, and quite inadequate
to the wants of the trade.—Brigol Alereury.
London, England, 1847-12-13

EMIGRATION.

Lord MONTEAGLE asked the Noble Earl at the
head of the Colonial Department, whether he had
received any information from the Governors of the
Colonies on the subject of emigration ? and if so,
whether he was prepared to communicate the same to
their Lordships? _ _ _

Earl GREY replied that he had received an
immense mass of documents from the governors of
different colonies on the subject, and that before the
recess he would lay them on the table of their
Lordships' House.
(This concluded the regular business before the
House, but their Lordships continued sitting for the
purpose of giving an opportunity for bringing up the
Irish Outrages Bill from the House of Commons,
which stands for a third reading in that House this
evening.)

BOROUGH HOP MILICHET.

We hare still to notico a fair demand for the best new
Bops, at full rates of currency. In all other kinds
next to nothing is doing, and, to effect large sales, lower
rates must be submitted to. On speculation scarcely a
transaction has taken place. New Hops—Sussex pockets,
2/ 14s to 3135; Weald of Kent ditto, 21. 16s to 31 10s;
Mid and East Kent ditto, 3/ to 5l 5s per cwt.

SWITZERLAND.

Lord BEAUMONT gave notice of a question for
to-morrow on the proposed mediation in the affairs
of Switzerland.
CASE OF J. A. BROWNE.

Lord BROUGHAM postponed the presentation of
that petition of which he had given notice, for Mr.
Matthew Anderson, a solicitor, praying for inquiry
into the case of Frederick Augustus Browne, who
had been sentenced to transportion for bigamy, but
whose sentence had subsequently been commuted.• -
SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION AT
rEVONPORT.

The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition
from several of the clergy and other inhabitants of
Devonport, complaining of the spiritual destitution
prevailing in that place. The Right Rev. Prelate
contended that Devonport possessed greal claims upon,
their Lordships, from the fact that it possessed a
public dockyard, and that the persons there congre-
gated were employed in the service of the Govern-
ment.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood
to say that the Government was most anxious to
adopt some measure to r€lieve the spiritual destitu-
tion complained of, and more especially to establish
schools, but that the subject was surrounded
with difficulties.—[We believe the above to
be the substance of the observations
of the Noble Marquis; but as, during the whole
time he spoke, he turned his back to the gallery, it
wasimpossible to catch accurately what fell from the
Noble Marquis.]
The Bishop of tEXETER thanked the Noble
Marquis for the interest he had manifested on the
subject, more especially for what he had said as to
the establishment of schools.
London, England, 1847-12-13

THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.

An HON. MEMBER asked whether Government had
received the report of the commissioners appointed to
inquire into the state of the law relating to the
Channel Islands, and if so, whether they were pre-
pared to lay it upon the table of the House ?
Sir GEORGE GREY said it was received some
months back, and laid upon the table of the House
at the close of last Parliament.

Dr. BOWRlNdhopedGovernment, after the
recess, would be prepared to tell him whether they
had any objection to extend the labour of the Com-
mission of the Isle of Man ?

COMMERCIAL DISTRESS.
Lord G. BENTINCK wished to know at what
period of the evening the Right Hon. the Chancellor
of the Exchequer intended to nominate the Commit-
tee on Commercial Distress, He ventured to hope
it would not be at an unseasonable hour.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
could not say at what hour he would bring it for-
ward ; but immediately after the Bill for the Sup-
pression of Crime and Outrage had been disposed of
he shonld ask the House to take his motion out of its
order.

An Hox. MEMBER wished to know whether the
Hon. Member for Montrose intended to persevere
with his amendments ?

Mr. HUME replied in the affirmative, and declared
his opinion that the Committee ought not to be
appointed till after the recess.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
appealed to the Hon. Member whether it was fair to
persist in moving his resolution. The House had
come to the determination that the Committee should
be appointed, and the appointment was, therefore, not
now an open question. The only question that
remained was, what Members should compose that
Committee, and it was not fair to interpose any motion
or amendment upon such a question. Besides, each of
the resolutions of the Hon. Member would give rise
to a week's debate.—(Hear and laughter.)
CRIME AND OUTRAGE (IRELAND) BILL.
On the question being put for the third treading of
this Bill,

Mr. URQUIIART rose to support a statement
which he had made the other night relative to a
speech which the Right Hon. Baronet the Member
for Tamworth delivered in 1844, while supporting
his Currency Bill. The Hon. Gentleman read se-
veral extracts from the Times of the period, to show
that the Right Hon. Baronet had expressly stated
that the Bill was not to apply either to Ireland or
Scotland.

NEW SYSTEM-TO STRANGERS.
Third year in practice of the following New and simple
System of Business, originated and established by GEORGE SMITH,
at his Warehouse, 32, Ludgate-hill.
The Public are invited to examine his Shawls, Silks, Satins, Vel-
vets, Mantles, Dresses, Table Linen, and Swiss Curtains—his Patent
Shawls, which fold into twenty-four different effects—his Sea
Island Long-cloth and Calico, and his Sea Island Hosiery, but they
are net expected as a consequence to purchase, and on no pretence
whatever importuned to do so.
Goods net approved exchanged as a right, not as a favour, and
their prices are marked in plain figures. Immediate reparation,
should warranted fabrics fail in wear. No credit given, oense-
quently no loss sustained to be made good from the purses of those
who pay ready-money. He has found that a very small profit upon
this system is equal to a very large profit on the old system. The
many years experience in the selection of goods when connected with
the late house of Everington, established those valuable connexions
both at home and abroad who now supply George Smith, and enable
him to exhibit throughout the whole of his moderately-priced
articles, that perfection of taste in design and colouring which the
pencil of the artist hitherto imparted to the costly manufactures only.

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN-
TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared
from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti-
fying the TEETH and strengthening the GLTMS. It eradicates
tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness
to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the spots of
incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the
Most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and
disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath.
Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers,
scurvy is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness
are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in
their sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth
Powder ever know, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of
years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns
and the Nobility throughout Europe. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners of Stamps have directed the proprietors' name and address to
be engraved on the Government stunp, thus "A. ROWLAND and
SON, 20, Hatton-gardin," which is affixed on each box. Sold by
the Proprietors, and by Chemists and I'erfumers.
