ITENB lURY, WORCESTER, and LUD-
LOW RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.)
An adjournet meeting of this Company (of which it
►ill be rememt Jered Captain Richardson, who is charged
with a forgery/ on Couits' bank, is chairman), was held
this day, at fke London Tavern, for the purpose of de-
ciding whe'iber the co-partnership existing between the,
sharieholefars should be dissolved or not.

Mr. r A;.;1;;;;;alied to the chair.
The scrutineers who were appointed at the last nt,,et-
ing, a" nd who were this day re-elected, then proceed,Al to
take the number of shares in the room, in order to as-
cerV un if the Act had been complied with. Soo'a after
they presented a report, stating that the svggregate
nutriber of votes was—
For a dissolution
Against it
Thanks were than voted to the chairman and directors,
and the meeting -was declared dissolved.
Before s3para•zing, however, Mr. Knox (one of A com-
mittee appoint.,d by the shareholders) read a lent benedt
report, in wh'ob, atter detailing the rise and progress of
the Compa•Ay, the committee adverted to the facts
connected with the fraud or forgery, alleged to
be committed by Captain Richardson, and added
that they deemed it their duty to allude to the
improper and unjustifiable conduct of the directors in
voting sums of money for " services," although they
knew that the individual alluded to (Mr. Howell)
had no claim upon them. They also felt bound to
express. their disapprobation of the manner in
which the signatures had been got, as the
same gave unusual opportunities for the commis-
sion of fraud. The report then alluded to the expenses
incurred, which had been characterised as exorbitant
in the highest degree ; the legal and 'engineering ex-
penses alone amounting to 4201. per mile. The Cr,m-
mittee, however, trusted that they would preserve te, the
sharehdders at least 17s. on every share, and they also
expected that a further dividend of Bs. would be ruralised
from the deposits still unpaid. The committee urged
upon the shw:eholders the propriety of signing a requi-
sition callir.g ou theta to convene a meeting at the
earliest pn'ssible period for the purpose of determirJing
what futv.re steps should be taken.

•
Some 4)pposition on the part of the directwes was
TO aniTestrsd to this recommendation. wad after some de-
sultoxy discussion, the meeting separated.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

3714

(From the London New Price Current of September 1.)
Sucaa.—To-day West India Sugar was purchased re-
4uctantly for all purposes, although there were sellers in most
cases 6d per cwt. under the rates of Friday, and the quantity
sold by private contract did not exceed 170 hhds and tierces.
At public sale 179 hhds 6 tierces of Barbadoes were chiefly
disposed of.
lIEFINED.—To-day there were sellers of Refined goods upon
further reduced terms, still the home trade operated with
sctaaunt,iotarri

Crusheds6 d to
s6o2gs
a6rd,and
is
not
to be had on lower rates, but there was not much business
transacted ; first sort is worth 33s 6d to 34s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.--This afternoon there was little passing pri-
vately in Mauritius, but 844 bags at auction sold at the full
value, and brought 50s to 52s for fine 3 ellow.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal Sugars
consisting of 3,297 bags, were brought to public sale, and,
nearly the whole sold, but in some cases the rates taken.
were rather under those previously current.
Moi,AssEs.—The business transacted in all sorts of West
India has been extremely limited, and prices must be re-
garded as nominal from 19s to 24s per cwt. The stock is
still on the increase, especially of the low and middling sorts.
In Bengal Treacle the operations are upon a more extended
scale, and the parcels sold were at 21s 63 to 22s for good
quality. Hon 7 has further declined in value.
FOREIGN.—Io• day 1,758 boxes of yellow Havannah, im-
ported by a foreign ship, were offered at public sale, and sold
in consequence of merchants lowering their prices 63 per cwt.
TEA.--There has been a brisker demand for the lower kind
of Congou during the last few days, but better prices are
not obtainable. Pouchong has met with a dull sale, and
prices are looking down. In Green there has been littlebusi-
ness transacted, and if parcels were to be pressed for sale, a
further decline in the value would be the result: the trade
only purchasing sufficient for their immediate wants notwith-
h standing the moderate rates at which there are sellers.
Fine Scented Orange Pekoe has met with little attention, and
is only worth 2s per It.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was sparingly
- dealt in, and 1,953 bags 6 cases at auction were only in part
sold,upon easier terms. Jamaica is little wanted, and 52
casks 1.
at public sale were nearly all bought in.
