WORCESTER, WARWICK AND
• RUGBY RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
A general meeting of the shareholders in the above Com-
pany was' held at the Loudon Tavern this day, for the pur-
pose of receiving the report of the Directors, and for consi-
dering proposals for amalgamating with other lines.
Mr. Ward, M.P., presided.
The Secretary, Mr. Hughes, having read the notice calling
the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said the report, which it would be his
duty to read to them, emanated from the Committee of
Management, and was short, simple, and he hoped would prove
satisfactory. He need not in consequence detain them with
preliminary observations. He would, however, express his
regret that so much time had been necessarily consumed in
arranging terms of negotiation which were long and difficult
—(Hear, hear)—from the number of interests which
had to be brought into contact and communication
with each other. Some longer time had therefore
elapsed before calling the shareholders together than
the Directors had a month ago considered to be necessary.
He (the Chairman) had received several communications
from persons interested, expressing some doubts as to the
motives of the Board. These doubts and suspicions would,
he thought, be removed by the propositions they had that
day to submit to the shareholders—propositions he was sure
they (the shareholders) would find it to their interest to
concur in. Should any of them, however, dissent, there was
an option given them which would be fully explained by
the report.
The report was then read. 'The following abstract will
show its nature : •
" The acting Committee of the Worcester, Warwick, and
Rugby Railway have the pleasure of informing the share-
holders that they have entered into an amalgamation with
tba Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, and the Worcester and
lines, upon terms of advantage to the three corn-
`• Ito terms were that the three companies should
panies. the gapital to be consolidated; and the Boards
form one ; out of the three lines for which Par-
fame;nt that
notices been served and plans and sections
liary
been
be selected by some eminent
deposited, the best sti:
engineer, which, when bron7l4
im-
centreing at Worcester from Si,.,
contacts wanitdh
otherthe lines
remune-
portant districts, would yield a trafin
tli most f
the 4th
rative character. The Directors, in their
address
December, had stated that unless some such
arrangement
-neeting,
could be entered into, they would call together a .. the
and return the deposit of 30s. to each shareholder, minus .
expenses already incurred. They wished now to be
better than their word, and, therefore, would pro-
pose the resolutions, one confirmatory of the amalgama-
tion, and the other providing to those shareholders
who might dissent, the return of their deposit on a day
given.—(Hear, hear.)
After a few remarks from the Chairman, recommending
the adoption of the Report,
Several proprietors put various questions, which were
readily answered.
The CHAIRMAN said that the number of shares issued to
the public had been 35,000 ; the number of shares paid in
had been above 18,000. The number reserved to some
landed gentleman near Mr. Redditch, had been 5,000; for,the
acting and Provisional Committees, 5,000 ; making altoget her
21,000, and odd shares issued and paid on out of 45,000, and
giving them a fund in hand of 45,3641. There were no com-
peting lines. The amount of expenses would be about 11,0001.,
namely, 5,0001 for engineering, and 4,000/. solicitors and
agents, including serving of Parliamentary notices, 1,000/.
traffic tables, and 1,0001. for salaries, office expenses, &c.
On the motion of Mr. RousE, seconded by Mr. KETrERING,
the report was received and adopted.
The CHAIRMAN then read the resolutions, which
were also carried. They were—first, that the amalga-
mation of the three lines be confirmed. Second,
That such of the Proprietors as shall dissent therefrom
shall signify the same by letter, addressed to the secretary,
within seven days from this date, and that they shall be enti-
tled to receive on a day to be advertised by the Committee the
sum of 30s. for') every share now in their possession; those
shares to be re-issued at the same prices to such of
the a. sentients among the, shareholders, as shall
in like manner signify their desire to avail themselves
of this option; such shares to be divided rateably among the
assentienta.
Thanks were then voted to the Directors, and the meeting
broke up.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS•

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

POST.—The foreign exchanges were higher to-day. Three
months' bills on Paris were negotiated at the favourable rate
of 25 85 to 90, and short bills at 2b 60 to 65. On Amsterdam,
Hamburgh, and other leading places, the quotations were
equally upon the rise. It is not to be believed, therefore, that
the arrangements of the Bank of England with regaid to dis-
counts will need any alteraticn , unless it be, as before sug-
gested, on the side of relaxation. With the dividends coming
into the money market, the produce market in a state of
calm, and the continental exchanges becomiog, from post
day to post day, more and more in favour of this country,
any present advance in the charge of the corporation seems to
us to be out of the question. We are informed, nevertheless,
that, however readily bills at short date may be placed with
the discount houses and private bankers, there is little par-
tiality for paper having several months to run.
The Funds have not recovered from the depression under
which they laboured yesterday. An uncertainty with re-
spect to the mode of dealing the Bank may be empowered
by Government to adopt in the case of railway deposits paid
into the establishment by the Accountant-General, and the
sales making of stock by Provisional Committees in advance,
at the high prices now current, are still the causes assigned
for the feebleness of the markets. The broker for the Com
missioner made purchases to the extent of 30,0001. in the
Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities, and the Three-and a-
Quarter per Cent. Stock, which served in the first instance
to sustain prices. Consols, for the opening, realised 943/4,
ex div., and might have gone higher, but for the sales effected
on railway and other accounts, particularly as the Govern-
ment broker made a purchase, after the business transacted
for account of the sinking fund bad been completed, in behalf
of the savings banks; but the sales, on balance, preponde-
rating, the bear party had eventually the advantage, and, in
the course of the day, Consols receded to 94g. The fall was
assisted by the operations of a leading firm, which, in-
stead of paying its differences on the time business of the last
six weeks, made arrangements for carrying over its account.
The rate of continuation given was 3-16 per cent. In this
rate there was nothing excessive, but the determination of a
wealthy house to go on to the next settling day was looked
upon as symptomatic of a weak position founded upon a false
or imperfect information.
The Share Market continues extremely languid. The
pressure of sales on country account seems to be the princi-
pal cause. The onus'of the Liverpool and Manchester business,
so far as the realisation of railway scrip is concerned, is under-
stood to be thrown almost exclusively on the London market.
It will be worth the while of the London operators to recollect
this on a future occasion when speculation runs high. The
people of Lancashire and Scotland were the most riotous in
their purchases, while premiums were the order of the day,
but it is seen that they are no less active now in the promo-
tion of a panic. Were it not for this want of nerve on the
part of the provincial dealers, things would progressively
right themselves with us.

WHAT IS SIR ROBERT PEEL
GOING TO DO ?
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sra,—What is Sir Robert Peel going to do ? We
have heard much of " the inquiring spirit of the age,"
but never was inquiry so rife as at the present moment.
From one end of the land to the other, from the Duke
who fattens cattle to the labourer who, in the words of
his Grace of Richmond, "is incapable of fattening," the
question is again and again repeated," Who knows what
Sir Robert Peel is going to do ?" To borrow from
Punch—echo answers " Nobody."

Who can give us this valuable information? Valuable,
especially to the little satellites who have lost their great
comet in a cloud, and are half-inclined to snuff them-
selves out—to those unfortunate individuals who have
been playing at " follow my leader," said leader having
slipped round the corner, leaving them to whine, "It
isn't fair."
All the events of the past Ministerial crisis are veiled
in the same impenetrable mystery, and we only know
that—

There was a man of Tamworth town,
And he was wondrous wise :
He jumped out of the Cabinet
To all men's great surprise.
But when he saw " the little lord"
Was not allowed to reign—
To astonish all the people more—
He then jumped in again.
"If we only knew," say the agriculturists, " then"—we
are not prepared to say what would follow " this informa-
tion so devoutly to be wished." Even the Herald is
unable "to propoge" a solution of the difficulty, and we
are all like little children before the green curtain, and,
having witnessed the last trick of the mighty conjuror,
we are anxiously whispering, " What will he do next?"
The depositories of hereditary wisdom—the accumu-
lated growth of ages—are not more enlightened. They
are all solicitous for the country's good—at least they
say so, and where is the man hardy enough to disbe-
lieve a Duke. Still we are inclined to doubt it. Were
they really actuated by this benevolent motive, they
would cease to have any voice in our councils ; they
would retire from the perplexing path of politics, "cul-
tivate forbearance on a little oatmeal," and adorn a more
limited sphere by their labours of love. We might find
it difficult to get on without them, but we try neverthe-
less. We say, then, had these gentlemen the love of
country strongly developed, Salisbury would descend into
humble life, and become a shepherd on his own plain ;
Chandos might possibly present his famous head to the
League, to he exhibited at a Covent-garden meeting, and
labelled, " This is the head of a monopolist ;" no doubt
the admiring auditory would rejoin, "So much for
Buckingham." Then again, out of pure love, Norfolk
might give himself to Mr. Lazenby, resolutely resolved
to be worked up into " curry powder for the million ;"
while mother earth might take Richmond at his word,
open her benevolent jaws, and swallow him. That, Sir,
I will guarantee, would bring an answer to the question,
"What is Sir Robert Peel going to do ?"
I am, Mr. Editor, your humble servant,

DEATH OF MRS. CORNWELL BARON WILSON.
This popular writer expired on Monday, at her residence in
Woburn-place, leaving a family and a numerous circle of
Mends to lament her loss. Mrs. Wilson was the authoress of
several very clever poems. In 1837 she gained the prize
offered by the Melodists' Club, for the words of a song,
although there were upwards of two hundred candidates.
She also was awarded the prize for a poem on the Princess
Victoria (now our Most Gracious Queen), at the Cardiff
Bardic Festival in 1834; and she also wrote the words in the
third volume of Mr. Parry's Welsh Melodies.
THE MlLlTlA.—Alexander Spence, late sergeant
in the Royal Horse Artillery, and colour-sergeant of one of
the enrolled companies of pensioners of the Woolwich
divi-
sion, is said to have received a commission as lieutenant
in
the militia, about to be called out for training early in the
spring. Sixty-five is the number to be balloted for in the
town and parish of Woolwich.
THE MILITIA.—Messrs. G. and W. Ormond, of
Bond-street, have received orders to supply 43,000 sets of
accoutrements to the Board of Ordnance, for the use of the
militia. The order is to be completed without delay.
THE YARMOUTH MURDER.— Samuel Yarham has
after several private examinations before the Yarmouth
magistrates, been fully committed to take his trial at the
ensuing Norfolk assizes, for the alleged murder of Mrs.
Candler. lie was removed to Norwich Castle on Saturday.
