OP KENNINGTON OVAL ROAD.—Yester-
day evening a meeting of the landlords of property in the BelZhh•Ur-
hood of Kennington Oval was held at the Swan Tavern, Stockwell,
for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of memo-
rialising his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Council of the
Duchy of Cornw4ll, tor the re-opening of the Oval Road. This road,
it appears, was originally open for foot passengers, but about six
years ago was closed on the plea that the open ground through which
it passed was frequented by improper characters. That ground of
offence, however, exists no longer, as the property is now covered
by respectable bonzes. The road iu dispute is the property of the
Duchy of Cornwall, and is not above 100 yards In length. litisalu. *UN la iaTQAI* tf MOVIII111; riftmeg VICO earthuseuktivVir:

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wore 7,000
bales, 1,500 being on speculation. The market was not
lively though firm.
There are not any late Colonial arrivals in the City to-day.
As the subject of the liability of Railway Committees and
allottecs is at present, as it bas been for some time past of
very general interest, we extract the following remarks from
a pamphlet written by Mr. D. W. Harvey, giving sound infor-
mation as to the course to be taken by parties referred to :--
" First—l would suggest that a prescribed number of
shareholders should have the power to insist upon a meet-
ing, to consider the propriety of dissolving the company, and
to guard against the influence of exaggerated misrepresen-
tations, and of sinister interests, which too frequently sway
popular assemblies, and also the overwhelming power
Of occasional votes made by the transfer or loan of
scrip. I would suggest that a ballot should be taken
the following day, no discussion being allowed, nor
any vote received whose possession of scrip or
share has n existed for at least one month previously; or it
might better accomplish the object of all parties, if the result
of the ballot should be the prosecution of the measure, that
the dissentients, should be entitled fOrthwith to the retain of
their deposits, subject to a reasonable rebate for expenses,
and until the same was paid no further proceedings to be
allowed.
"Second—That, to provide against the arbitrary selection
which is now made of persona on committees to be sued for
debts of the company, I would recommend that the defendant
should be enabled to plead the uamss of copartners liable
with himself against whom he should be at liberty to en-
force the judgment obtained against him—that is to
say, for
their rateable contribution.
"As the law now stands, an individual who has been se-
lected (and I know very many such cases) as the defendant
has virtually no remedy, either at law or in equity, against
his copartners ; for, if he plead in abatement, and
give the names of his copartners who ought to be joined
in the action against himself, and he happens to give one
name too many, or one too few—his plea fails, and judgment
passes against him for the full amounts Nor is his remedy in
equity less ambiguous; for, though he may not fail therefrom
the want or superfluity of parties, yet, as in all probabilty it
is fortune to be allied to some five or six scores of provi-
sional committee-men, the strong probability is that long
before his cause shall be ripe for hearing, either his suit will
have abated more than once by the death of one or more of
the defendants, or, to render the matter more conclusive, he
will have retired to that place where lawyers cease to troubles
and locomotion is at rest.
"And when we are legislating upon this matter, the con-
dition of creditors ought not to be overlooked. At the
present time, what from the fear of costs, the dread of defeat
arising from the difficulty of proof, or the worthlessness of the
debtor, creditors are now driven to accept of compromises

shAsould have no for

but
a
against registered parties, whether they be promoters, pro-
jectors, solicitors, or committeemen; and that such registra-
tion should be signed by the respective parties in the presence
of one or more official witnesses, such registration alone to be
conclusive evidence of liability."
There has not been much business transacted in the Funds
this morning. Consols for the Account have remained steady
at 95 g, but for Money the reduced price of 951,9 has been
submitted to, since which the market has rallied to 95%.
The premium upon Exchequer-bills remains very heavy at
225. India Stock has fallen from 260 to 259, and Bank
Stock from 2051,, to 20414. Annuities for a term of years
have increased in value. The Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are pretty firm this morning.
A more firm market has ruled for several of the Foreign
Bonds to-day. The Portuguese Four per Cents. have ad-
vatced to 573 ; Spanish Consols are at 2514 the Three
per Cents. at 363/4 ; Belgian at 80% ; Dutch Two and-a-
Half per Cents. at a rise from 583/4 to 59% ; the Four per
Cents. at 921/, and Mexican at 31%.
There is but little animation in the market for Railway
Shares. The latest prices are annexed.
