MARKET NEW S.-(1"-B7:1-S
DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The arrivals of Wheat of home produce for our market
last week were moderately extensive and of excellent quality'
but the receipts of all other articles of home produce, tir,
eluding those of Flour, were small, espeth fly those of Beal'
and Peas. From Ireland and Scotland 'scarcely any grand
worthy of notice reached us, while the sports from abroad
were on a very limited scale. Fresh up from Essex sou
Kent a full average quantity of home-g, twn Wheat came t°
hand, coastwise as well as by Land curia' ;•e) and sample; c°lll
sequently the stands were, on the whole., well filled. Stil
however, the market opened firm, and iii some few instance'
a trifle more money was obtained for selected parcels (2,
English red and white Wheat; but as the. millers and odic'
generally were not inclined to give more moneys
the factors were compelled to submit to to
Monday's quotations. The trade, therefore, may t
considered firm, at full prices, thou; gh the trade bBB
the close of business was by no means so active as at t„,, t
commencement. The quantity of free fort 3ign Wheat on 4:,;„
was somewhat larger than last week. Tin, ere were some lash;
sales concluded in the best descriptions of white, at extrettl;
currencies. In all other kinds exceedius ly little was doisb'e
at barely previous quotations. As very' few additions 110,t
been lately made to the stocks of grai n in bond, veil I.e
parcels under lock were brought forward. For speculatlcot
in the home market very little was doing ; but for shipulete
a few sales were concluded in Whe at; and Flour, at 41,
wr,
figures. The quantity of all kinds of Barley on o'!",,g
tiltro
was by no means larger. Selected ctualites of
and distilling moved off readily, and win considered the 01.0,
higher; while all other kinds hung on hand, at late ra;;lf
The supply of Malt was small. Fine sea s( m..made sold read eli
at extreme quotations, the value of ofthier kinds being Iv
supported. With Oats we were scantily supplied, yet 0,
oat trade was in a very sluggish state, at last week's cluooB
tions. We understand that the shiptoei Its of Oats fronl
various Irish ports continue extremely Amen ; however,. d 6
prices may be expected here for some tin ne hence. All lortite
of Beans, the supply of which was small, sold readily, at fey
rates. In Peas a good business was "doing, at full Prlds

CAMBRIAN AND GRAND JUNC
TION RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the shareholders in this company was
eld, in accordance with the Railway Companies' Disso-
80u Act, shortly before twelve o'clock this day, at the
Inlytish Hotel, Cockspur-street, for the purpose of deter-
--ling 'whether it should be dissolved or not. But a
email Mr. Col-
un.mber of shareholders were present.
n!, M.P., occupied the chair. Messrs. Strict, Coleman,
and Child, were appointed scrutineers.
The SECRETARY read the report of the directors,
which set forth that the line was projected for theptr
Pose of constructing a line of railway connecting the
dis-
trict of South Wales wita the more northerly part of_ the
kingdom, and that they considered it a
_line of the
greatest public utility; that it had received the active
support of the principal landed proprietors on its route ;
in fact, no -undertaking was started under 'better
auspices, or stood more chance of success. But, not-
withstanding the strong assurances of Mr. Gravitt, the
engineer, that the plans would be perfectly ready by the
30th of November, the directors found the plans and
sections so defective, that it would have been utterly
useless to have submitted them to the Standing Orders'
Committee. They therefore abandoned the intention of
going to Parliament. In January last they returned
IL Bg. per share, being two-thirds on the amount origi.
nally paid. So sanguine were they of the ultimate suc-
cess of the line, that they advised the adoption of a new
line, with some alight alterations, immediately subse-
quent to the dissolution of the old one, the retiring
shareholders being relieved from all responsibility, and
those holding shares in the present company to be en-
titled to receive a similar amount of shares in the new
Company.
The CHAIRMAN said, the capital originally subscribed
was 75,000/., 1/. Bs. had been returned, on each share,
making 50,0001. The liabilities amounted to 30,0001.,
but they expected, on investigation, that they would be
enabled to considerably reduce that amount, and that a
sufficient sum would be left to defray all liabilities. They
hoped to be in a position to return a further small sum
per share. The balance was then against the company,
but the reductions which would be made in the legal and
engineer ing charges would alter this. The solicitor had
offered to make some reduction.
In ,te-1-- F y to several questions, the SECRETARY stated
that 3,800/. had been paid to Mr. Gravitt and to the
surveyors, but he claimed, in addition, 7,0001., which
they had refused to pay. The directors had commenced
ana tion against him to recover the amount they had paid,
but he had commenced a counter-action for the balance
of his claim. 3,6004 had been paid to the local agents,
and 3,000/. to the town solicitor, who claimed 5,200/.
more. The new line was proposed to start from Wor-
cester, and to run in a direct line to Runcorn.
A resolution in favour of the dissolution, not, how-
ever, as an act of bankruptcy, of the company, was then
carried by a show of hands.
Mr. TRIPP then addressed the meeting at great length,
and contended that the statements put forward by the
directors on a former occasion and to-day were vague
and fallacious, and that the whole affairs of the company
had been grossly' mismanaged and the shareholders de-
ceived. Re wished to know how many shares had been
applied for, how many allotted and reserved, and bow
many paid upon, and advised the shareholders to demand
every farthing of their deposits.
The CHAIRIN said he and the other members of
the L 1 ' committee of management, with the exception
'cif five, had taken and paid upon two hundred shares.
About thirty of the provisional committee, who had
been allotted one hundred shares each, had not paid upon
their shares. Proceedings had been commenced against
the
the five directors. Many shares had been reserved for
Purpose of contemplated amalgamations with other
rapanies which circumstances had prevented. To
show the anxiety of the directors to economise the ex-
penses, he might state that a demand made by Mr.
Tripp's brother for 1,000/. for brokerage was reduced to
501. The votes of the meeting were then taken, and the
majority wire in favour of a dissolution.

enai led itoYAL VISIT TO
ARUNDEL CASTLE.—We are
try to announce that her Majesty has signified her
.ous intention of honouring the Duke and Duchess
of Norfolk with a visit during the present month, at
their family residence, Arundel Castle. It will be re-
membered that the Noble Duke, in anticipation of a
'visit from his Sovereign, last year completed a variety
of improvements, which up to that period were in pro-
gress at the castle, and also fitted up a suite of apart-
ments expressly for her Majesty's accommodation. Cir-
cumstances occurred about the time alluded to which
had the effect of postponing the royal visit; but we lieee are correct in stating, that during the recent
be-
sojourn of the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk at Windsor
Castle, her Majesty signified her intention of honouring
their Graces with the promised visit at the earliest pos-
sible opportunity. We believe we are correct in stating
that the royal visit will take place some time in the en-
suing week.—Post.
