LONDONDERRY and COLERAINE
RAILWAY.—(r uis DAY.)
The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders
of this company was this day held at the offices of the
company, No. 5, Church-passage, Guildhall, for the
purpose of receiving a report anti statement of accounts
from the directors, and for the transaction of the ordi-
nary business of the company. The meeting was alto
made special for the purpose of considering the subject
of the forfeiture of certain shares held by defaulting
shareholders, and for taking into consideration the
draft of a Bill to be submitted to Parliament, autho-
rising a deviation in the line of railways as at present
authorised to be made.
The chair was taken at one o'clock by the Chairman
of the Company, John Griffith Frith, Esq.
The minutes of the last meeting having been con.
firmed, the Secretary read the report, from which it
appeared—
" That this project originated in the belief that if tho
railway could be taken along the shores of Lough Foyle,
and within the Slob Lands, to be reclaimed from the sea,
the land so recovered would be of value sufficient, not
only to pay for the works necessary for the reclamation,
but also fur the railway itself.
" Contracts for the embankments necessary to -cons-
plete the reclamation were entererdiceisntaothwisitehd isblyesstrhe

stipulating to
perfect the works by the first day_ of
" Looking at the character of the work, the_ directors
were advised to make an advance upon plant, upon
condition of double that sum being expended by the
contractors for the same purpose.
" The works having thus been placed under contract,
were commenced; but the directors regretted to be
obliged to state, that notwithstanding they had afforded
every facility to the contractors, and made the Ft qu-red
advance upon plant, the contract for the embankment
was not duly, or at all satisfactorily, carried on, and
the directors became couvinced that the contractors were
unable to carry on the entire works simultaneously, and
had determined that all their energies-should be di-
rected to otie of the three proposed enclosures, leavirg
the others in abeyance until that was completed; but
even with this limit the works did not make that pro-
gress which the directors felt they had a right to expect;
and the directors had to report that they felt, under the
circumstances, that they had no alternative but to take
the contract for the reclamationin out of the hands of
Messrs. Bromhead and Liensrn

SPICES.--To-day Pimento was sought after, and 162
bags at public sale sold at full rates; middling at 41d,
and damaged at 4d to 4id. Of white Pepper, 36 bags
went at higher rates. 3 bags 15 chests Cloves taken in
at 61c1 to 7d. Of 32 cases Mace a small part only sold
at 2s 6.1 to 2s 10d fur middling and good. 3 cases Nut-
megs, wormy, 8d; 6 chests Long ditto taken in at Is 3d,
198 bags pod Pepper 86s to 90s per cwt.
FRUlT.—There is very little demand for Raisins, and
the tendency of prices is to decline although there is
only a moderate stock. The value of prime Valentia is
38s to 395. Prices rule moderate for Currants, yet the
home dealers operated with caution, and 37s to 40s per
cwt is the value of new.

Mr. BAILEY presented a petition from a book-
seller of Reading, named Mayers, stating that the
petitioner took great interest in works of
art, and lately he had become possessed of a painting
by Velasquez, of Prince Charles, who was afterwards
Charles 1. The petitioner believing it to be a work
of national interest, sent it to be exhibited in London,
and it had since been seized for rent by the landlord
of the house where it was shown, but the rent was due
from the party who had charge of the painting. The
petitioner therefore prayed the House to amend the
law of landlord and tenant in this respect.

of all sorts of Rum display much firmness.
