MARKET NEWS._ (THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAZY
Although the supply of English Wheat on sale to-day was again
limited, the demand for that article, owing to the thin alto ad-
ante of buyers, and the fineness of the weather for the
growing crops, was in a very depressed state, and Mond ty's
reduced figures were with difficulty supported. Forf3ign
Wheat was a mere drug, and prices were almost nominal. In
Corn under lock a few sales were concluded; Wheat certificates
were held at 10s. per qr. Barley moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
We had only a retail demand for Malt, at previous currencie'
supply of Oats was again small, nevertheless the inquiry wasiTnhae
sluggish state, and prices were barely maintalued. Beans, as,

The plat Miff in this action claimed fifteen guineas for attendance
on the d Wendants, who are well-known solicitors, and serving
notices, & for the proposed Eastern Counties and Finsbury Rail-
way Com pa] iy.

Sir. Sin sot appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Parry for the
defendants.
The facts of the case were these :—The plaintiff had formerly been
in the servie of Messrs. Witherby, railway agents, and whilst with
them had se cued notices for the Birmingham and Wolverhampton
::nd Stour / alley Railway, the Eastern Counties and Epping, and
the Eastern Counties (Finsbury Branch). Ile afterwards called on
Messrs. It.oy..and Co., and asked when he would be wanted to go before
the Standing Orders' Committee, and Mr. Ross, the managing clerk in
the busine. ss, with Messrs. Roy and Co., told defendant he should have
a notice ; and he, accordingly, received one on the 26th of February.

Messrs. Witherby for the service of the notices.
The &COND.& ax expressed a strong opinion that there was no evi-
dence to go to the Jury of retainer or services by defendants on the
Finsbury branch, but Mr. Simon claimed a right to go to the jury.
Mr. Pawn-, tbr the defendants, was extremely anxious to have all
the facts before the jury, as they would never have resisted a just de-
mand, but this was a mere experimental action, and if it prevailed
there would be no en 1 to such unfounded demands.

THE DERBY, 1846.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Day set on old St. Stephen's shrine,
Young England, too, was full of wine:
Disraeli's speech was wild.
Lord George came out to mischief prone,
And show'd his wild Outs were not sown,
Tho' sitting on Protection's throne,
In argument a child;
Forgetting, in the great debate,
The corner—Turf—all but the State,
He came it rather strong.
With Goodwood's Duke and Stanley bold
He did a fearful tale unfold
Of miseries great and yet untold—
Henry Hill said he was wrong.
Napoleon of the Turf was he,
A withered object now we see,
A would-be statesman low.
The Purifier of the Ring
To Richmond now has lent his sting ;
And Stanley will no credit bring—
To I:ankes he, too, must bow.
Lord George. resume your former sphere ;
Elis you vann'd to Doncaster,
And settled not a few.
When Miles's Boy the Pot put on,
You prov'd you were not to be dons,
But nail'd ten thousand pounds to one
Before the nag should show.
Thou glorious starter of a race,
Pray quit St. Stephen's, foolish place,
Again your post assume ;
Away, away, to Epsom hie,
You'll welcom'd be by Nat and Lye.
As Peel has given you the go-bye,
Go calculate with Hume.
And then Sir Tutton you must back,
For Sting's become a common hack,
Th.' Forth boasts of his might.
But Lucifer I never trust,
And those who 're on him stand it must ;
The Sting is gone and in the dust,
And something 's not all right.
John Day, in spite of Bentinck's Lord,
(His son, too, ecarr'd by secret sword)
Will make a gallant fight;
Gully and Wreford by him stand,
And take the veteran by the hand,
They'll boldly meet the Goodwood band,
And God defend the right !
Bill Scott appears, the boisterous boy,
As good as gold—with some alloy,
But happy as a prince ;
He'll prove to-day he's got his wits,
And beat Tom Tullock into fits,
And make Lord Maidstone wince.
The Fancy Boy is fancied :such :
Sim says he'll give the final touch,
But Ramsay says—no, no.
The Peri colt must win to-day,
And bear the wealthy prize away,
Whatever other folks may say,
And lay the Dawson low.
The northern lads are all but sure,
For fourteen pounds he gave The Cure,
And stript him to the skin.
If this be true, then wo betide ;
Besides, our Robinson will ride,
And floor both Nat and Butler's pride,
And must the Derby win.
My yarn is spun, my task is done,
I cannot have Sir John's Humdrum,
The distance tho' he'll stay.
Each will have what his fancy likes,
In spite of lameness caused by spikes—
The winner is Sir Tatton Sykes,
The second is John Day.

CALEDONIAN EXTENSION RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have the satisfaction of an-
nouncing to the Shareholders, that the Bill for incorporating the
Company having passed Standing Orders, has been introduced into the
House of Commons, and will be forwarded through Parliament with
the least possible delay.

A Meeting of the Shareholders-has been called, in accordance with
the Sessional Orders recently passed by both Houses of Parliament,
at which it is necessary that one-third of the capital of the Company
should be represented.

Shareholders who are unable to be present are requested to lodge
their Scrip with any of the following parties, who will give a receipt
for the same, and return the Scrip after it has been produced to the
Meeting, viz::—

Mr. John Marr, Secretary to the Company, 28, Parliament-street,
Westminster ; Messrs. Hope and Oliphant, W. S., Princes-street,
Edinburgh; Messrs. Grahame, Maxwell, and Co., St. Vincent-street,
Glasgow.

In consequence of the works being now limited to the Wester*
Extension, the Directors will be enabled either to reduce the amount
of the shares or to restrict the sum to be called upon each to a
very considerable extent.

The project, as now limited, consists, first, of the Branch from
Lesmahagow to the Clydesdale Junction Railway at Hamilton,
opening a direct communication from the most valuable mineral
field in the West of Scotland to the city of Glasgow, from which a
very large return may be expected, as'the gas coal of Lesmahagow
is well known for its superior quality, and for that description of
coal there is now an unlimited demand for exportation, as well as
for home consumption. The fends already in the hands of the Di-
rectors will be applied, in the first Instance, to the construction of
this line.

The other portions of the line will open a direct communication
in conjuwffion with the Caledonian Railway from the important
town and neighbourhood of Ayr, with Edinburgh on one hand, and
Carlisle and the manufacturing districts of England on the other.
These lines also pass through extensive mineral fields, and the local
traffic will be considerable, but the Directors do not look on the im-
mediate formation of these works as equally pressing, inasmuch
as the traffic cannot be completely developed until after the com-
pletion of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Railway.
Under these circumstances it will not be necessary to press incon-
♦eniently on the shareholders by early or frequent calls.

terest on the amount of calls from the date of payment.

that company experienced great difficulties in procuring a proper
supply of water, particularly in the summer months.
Mr. Edward Cresswell, of the firm of Hayward, Cresswell, and
Sons, ironmasters, Dudley, was next called to show the benefit which
the construction of this railway would confer on the ironmasters of
Dudley and the neighbourhood.

The remainder tithe day WA; occupied with the hearing of similar
evidence, and the Committee adjourned at four o'clock till twelve on
Thursday next.

GROUP LIV.
COVENTRY, NUNEATON, ZIXRIV/INOMAIVX
AND LEICESTER.
The Committee met at twelve precisely this morning, and were oc-
cupied for some time in deciding on the order in which they should
proceed with the numerous Bills comprised in their group. The
Committee decided eventually to proceed with the Coventry, Nun-
eaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Railway.
The Bill was opposed by the Leicester and Birmingham Company
and by the Birmingham and Leicester Direct Company.
From the evidence it appeared that the length of the line from
Coventry to Nuneaton was twenty-six miles, and from Leicester to
Birmingham about eighty-five miles. The estimates were fully
sufficient to carry out the works. There were no peculiar engineering
difficulties to be contended against. The population was numerous in
the vicinity of the line, and the general mineral and other prodt -
lions would ensare a ready and remunerative traffic.
