The replies to the circular of the 30th ult., from the Committee of
Management, having been received, and the expressed wish of a
large majority of the Shareholders being in favour of an immediate
dissolution of the Company, the Committee of Management beg to
inform the Shareholders that they have consequently withdrawn the
Bill from the House of Commons, and given orders for all outstand-
ing accounts to be forthwith sent in, when, after their careful exami-
nation and payment, the earliest notice will be given to the Share-
holders of the amount of deposit that will be returned to them.
The Committee of Management, while acting upon their promise
held out to the Shareholders in the above circular, take this oppor-
tunity of expressing their regret that the Shareholders have com-
pelled them to adopt a step so much opposed to their confident
opinion as to the success of their application to Parliament, and the
great value of the undertaking they have been forced to relinquish.

SECOND EDITION.

LONDON, SATURDAY. 141AY 23, 1846.

The House of Commons were last night occupied for a
considerable time in the discussion of the notable point
raised by Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, viz., that the appointment of
the Committee of Selection in the present session was in-
formal and void, and that consequently they had no autho-
rity to require his attendance, or any of the Committee, and
that he was justified in his refusal to comply with their re
quest. As may easily be imagined, the motion was negatived
by a very large majority, the numbers being 108 to 36 ; and
of the small number who voted in the minority
many were influenced by a pity for the fate of
the refractory Member, and an anxiety to be enabled
to restore him to liberty which it was feared his obstinacy
would prevent him from obtaining by any other means.
They, therefore, readily caught at a point however trivial
and unimportant in itself, in order that, by giving him the
benefit of a doubt, they might be enabled to give effect to
their kind and benevolent feelings. How much, soever, we
may respect this feeling, we think it would be much below
the dignity of the Legislature had they suffered it to prevail.
It would exhibit the House in a very humiliating light indeed
if they permitted it to :go forth to the world that
they , had. conducted their .ovrn affairs in so
slovenly sad negligent a manner, that thou. authority

quoted at sto I, layers, and without any advantage over. Tom
Tullcck, indeed, lam the general disposition to lay against one, and
to back the other, it is more than probable that Lord Maidstone's
horse will be first favourite this afternoon. A strong feeling was
evinced to back Humdrum, the Pert colt, Pyrrhus the Firsts and
The Conjuror, albeit there is a report that Mr. Osbaldistone, WllO
has the power to scratch the last-mentioned horse, is not unlikely to
exercise it. The Oaks betting was almost nominal.

this, the reply of M. LACAVE LAPLAGNE, the Finance Minister
was unanswerable. The Restoration had not Algeria
to maintain, neither had they undertaken the great public
works which had been undertaken by the Ministry of
July, and which, from the improvements to which they had
given rise in the internal communications of the country,
had proved the most beneficial speculation the country could
have engaged in. The discussion had not concluded when
the post left.
in allusion to the fears which were entertained that the
Peers might postpone certain of the Railway Bills to next
session, the Debats says
" The apprehensions which were indulged in on this oc-
casion have not been realized, the Bills have been voted, and
all the railways except that of Avignon have been adjudi-
cated. The public credit has not experienced the slightest
depreciation, and the commercial and financial movement
has precisely„ since the moment these great measures of
public utility were voted, received the greatest development
that in France had, up to this day, wr been attained. The
adjournment of the Railway Bills whiora remain to be conceded
or voted would not, moreover, produce, in a financial point
of view, the result anticipated. The Lyons and Avignon
Railroad, which is to be adjudged in the beginning of June,
has given rise to 18 companies ; after the adjudication of
this line there will be paid back more than 50,000,000 f. to
the subscribers of the companies not accepted, or included in
the fusion. The Chamber of Peers will no more rest behind
in the gsneral movement this session than in the preceding
one ; it would not desire to adjourn measures to which so
many interests are attached, and which definitively form the
essential laws that the Chamber of Deputies has to vote in
the course of the present session."

The Prince DE JOINTILLE inspected the iron works of Mr.
BENNETT, at La Ciotato, on the 15th, and seemed much in-
terested in the progress of the construction of the iron steam-
ship Pi,ilippe Auguste. His Royal Highness also inspected
the floating breakwater.

was still pursuing his march in the Ouransenis.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY 22,-- We have
limited supplies of all grain this week. The renewed state of un-
certainty as to the ultimate fate of the Corn Bill, and the very light
stocks held by our millers, caused to-day a better inquiry for fresh
wheats, and best qualities sold freely at a slight improvement on last
week's prices. Fine barley moved off readily at farmer rates. Beans
fully as dear. Oats and Shelling each dull rale and a trifle dearer.
Malt in request. _

Thu Commodore's health is very much improved since he has em-
barked. The Hon. Captain Dudley Pelham proceeded with him on
a cruise to the westward this day. The weather has set in fine and
warm—ther. 63., bar. 29.95.
THE CROPS.—The corn is looking up, and in a few more such days
will have put on an appearance of health it has long needed ; the
cold and wet have given it a yellow and sickly look. The crops of
clover, vetches, and grasses generally, are very tine and forward.
The potatoes look well. The wetness of the season has prevented the
lands being got ready for mangold wurzel, and very little has been
sown : it has also prevented the sowing of barley ; many farmers
have not got in more than half the quantity they would have done
had the weather been more favourable. The hay harvest has com-
menced, and is likely to be the heaviest known for some years.
