WISBECH, ST. IVES, AND CAM-
BRIDGE JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
—(THIS DAY.)
An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of this
company took place to-day, at the offices of the com-
pany, Bridge-street, Westminster, for the purpose of
having the terms of the contract entered into by the
directors with the Eastern Counties Railway Company
for the sale of the line, submitted to them.
John Fryer, Esq., took the chair shortly before one
o'clock, when

Mr. Der, the solicitor to the company, stated that the
present meeting had been called, not because the law
required the confirmation of the shareholders to what
had been clone, but in consequence of the directors
thinking it due to the proprietors that such a meeting
should take place. By the original contract deed power
had been given to the directors absolutely, without the
consent of the shareholders, to sell the line; and the
terms of the contract for that sale to the Eastern Coun-
ties Company were, that the shareholders were to have 4/.
for every 21. that they had advanced; the line was to be
made within twelve months, the shareholders were to
be paid their money to-morrow on sending their scrip,
and the Eastern Counties Company were to carry out
the line fully according to the intention of the directors.
—(Hear, hear.)
A resolution was proposed, seconded, and carried
unanimously, approving of the contract entered into-with
the Eastern Counties Railway Company.
Thanks were voted to the directors, Mr. Day, the
solicitor of the company, to the secretary, and all the
gentlemen connected with the carrying out the principles
of the company, and the meeting then separated.

APOTHECARIES' COMPANY.
There was one notice of objection on the part of the
Conservatives to a liveryman of the company, named
Francis, but in consequence of some informali with
respect to the service of the notice, the objectionty was
disallowed.

AR3IOURERS AND BRAZIERS' COMPANY.
There were two notices of objection on the part of
the Conservatives to two liverymen of the company, one
of which was to Mr. Pontifex, a member of the firm of
Pontifex and Co., the extensive braziers of Shoe-lane.
The ground of objection was that Mr. Pontifex did not
,reside within seven statute miles of the places of polling
for the city of London.
Mr. Wansey, on behalf of Mr. Pontifex, contended
!that the proof of his being a liveryman for twelve
'months was quite sufficient, and that it was totally on-
nccessary to prove also that he had lived fur the last
six months within seven miles cf London.
! Mr. AnNola) held that it was necessary to prove both
!qualifications.

A servant of Mr. Pontifex's was then examined, who
stated that his master lived at Bram Hope Lodge, Charl-
ton, and that that was distanced six and a quarter miles
from London.

Mr. ARNOLD upon this evidence overruled the ob-
jection, and the name of Mr. Pontifex was retained on
the list of voters.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was again
buoyant, and the quotations were fully supported.
bales 10,000 bnles.—Shares were quiet.
The information received from the Cape of Good
Hope this morning is considered fiery satisfactory. No
doubt the next arrivals will announce the termination
of the war with the Kafirs. A second edition of the
Morning .Herald contains the latest information upon
this interesting subject. The intelligence will be found
in another column of The Sun.

It is said, and truly, in a neat pamphlet before us,
entitled, " Consuls Abroad," (to the contents of which
future reference may be made), that " the wealth, pros-
perity, power, and even standing of the British empire,
depend on the continuance of a full and efficient pro-
tection of its trade in foreign ports. Not being depend-
ent, as formerly, on trade for the support of their con-
sular stations, the majority of British Consuls are
not only free from any prejudicial collision of interests
with the merchants, but stand upon much more elevated
ground with the authorities, in advocating the rights of
er Majesty's subjects, and seeking redress for what-
soever injuries they may sustain. Much of the recent
and general augmentation of our foreign commerce must
be attributed to the greater degree of independence
and respectability given in later years to the cha-
racter and condition of her Majesty's Consuls.
There are no persons who better understand, or
know how to appreciate, the importance and advantage
of Consuls being placed in a respectable situation, than
the Britifh merchants abroad, whose interests, in fact.
are. closely connected with the maintenance of an efficient
and independent bearing on their part, the majority of
vvhom are, as they ought to be, men of talent, education,
and respectability, commanding the respect of the func-
tionai les of the towns where they reside, and doing
honour to the national character which they aro dele-
gated to represent."
The price of Consols for the Account has remained at
96, and 954 for Money. Exchequer-bills are lower,
viz , at Bs. premium. India Stock is at 260, and India
Bonds at 20s. premium, for those under 1,0001.
In the Foreign Stock markets there has been a good
deal doing in the Belgian Four-and-a-llalf per Cents.,
at from 974- to 98i. Spanish Five per Cents. are at
27$ to ; the Three per Cents. at 381 ; and Mexican at
25- to 1.
The Share Market is rather heavy.
