TEA.—Congou has been sparingly dealt in, notwithstand-
ing the low rates that prevailed ; the trade only purchase
sufficient for their present wants, and there is a fair
supply at market of all descriptions. There are rollers
of fine blackish leaf at is 8d to 2s, fair to good is to
Is 6d, and inferior sorts 8d to 11d. In Pouchong
a good business has been done, and the supply
being small, prices rule firm, the parcels sold were at 7d to

Souchong some parcels have been disposed of, but at rather
lower rates. For Twankay the market has a dull appear-
ance, and prices are lower. Scented Caper has been pur-

which is the former value. 558 bags East India Paddy were
taken in at 12s 6d to 14s for good quality.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The arrivals of West
India Rum have been very large during the past week, and
of East India a fair quantity has been received. Holders
of Jamaica have been desirous to realize, but submitting
to a reduction on former rates of 2d to 3d per gallon,
occasioned an extensive business to be transacted
in all qualities, the quantity sold amounting to
800 puncheons. Calcutta has been purchased with
avidity, and better prices have been obtained : the quantity
sold has amounted to the large number of 1,400 casks.
Madras in small parcels sold at Is 9d to is 96d proof. Deme•
rara is little wanted, and prices are lower, 3s to 3s 2d being
taken for limited quantities of strong. Leeward Island is
not offered at any further reduction, but only a
limited business has been transacted at 2s 2d to
2s 3d proof strength. The deliveries of Rum for home
consumption and exportation are smaller than they
were last year, and the stock is less, whilst prices
are higher for all sorts, but the .dealers are only moderately
supplied. Brandy is not to be had upon lower terms, as the
deliveries are yet exceeding the arrivals, but only a limited
business has been transacted by either exporters or the home
trade. In Geneva several sales for exportation have been
made. In Corn Spirits an extensive business has been done,
speculators are operating. In Englith Gin a good business
has been transacted. To-day at public sale 20 hints o
Madras Rum were taken in at 2s 6d per gallon.
Hors.—The demand has been less active, and having a

my name by
...ous writers. These letters have appeared
n some of the papers. I am in a condition to
prove the untruthfulness of their statements, by a gen.
tleman who is now standing behind me. lam able to
show you that the person who uses the name " Truth"
as his signature is a disgrace to his kind, and altogether
unworthy of credence. In a letter addressed to
the " Times," the writer affirms that the new
trial in the cause of Howard against Shaw did not take
place. Now this was untrue, for his friend was present,
having been subpoenaed. Again, in the case of Levisen
against Hodges, he said " that this trial assuredly did
not go on." No; but then he should have told also
that the plaintiff had preferred a bill of excep-
tions, which would be argued in the coming term.
Now I will ask, whether this anonymous writer does
not deserve to be repudiated from all society for his un-
called-for malignity. I may attribute the fact that lam
nine votes deficit to the circumstance of these letters
appearing.—(Loud cheers.) Again, I find my friend
Mr. James Anderton has been at work. He
hasissued a letter, dated this day, from the
Committee-room of Sir George Carroll, stating that
although a friend of mine yesterday said that the fees of
Counsel were paid at twelve o'clock that day, yet that
they were not so. I affirm that they were paid at twelve
yesterday, and my friends hold the receipts. I com-
pletely exonerate Sir G. Carroll from any knowledge of
this ruse, but I merely notice it for the purpose of showing
that this man must go into certain holes and corners to
write that which he will not do in his own house, or in
my committee-room, where he might have the oppor-
tunity of satisfying himself as to the facts of the case.
The worthy Alderman concluded by thanking the
Livery for the position in which they had placed him
on the poll.
Mr.BENNocK then came forward to address the Livery.
He must confess that he felt sorry for the position in
which the Livery had placed Mr. Alderman Wood. He
was sure that it was a position that he did not deserve,
Mr. HoLT thanked the Livery for the exertions they
had made on the behalf of Alderman Wood.

The hall was then adjourned till to-morrow at two
o'clock.

WARWICK AND WORCESTER
RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of shareholders of this company was held
to-day at the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of
considering the propriety of dissolving the company,
under the provisions of Lord Dalhousie's Act. Mr. Po-
cock was called to the chair.

After a short address from Mr. Spackman, scrutiueers
were appointed; and there being present but 6,200 votes,
the meeting adjourned till Monday.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the shareholders was held to-day at the
Hall of Commerce, Mr. Astell, M.P., in the chair, convened
for the purpose of authorising, under the Act of Par-
liament, the purchase of the Stamford and Spalding
Railway.
The SOLICITOR read the deed of conveyance, and a
resolution, authorising the directors to affix the seal of
the company to the same, was put and carried unani-
mously.
The CHAIRMAN reminded the gentlemen present that
the extension shares that had been created would
be applied to meet this purchase. The directors
of the Great Northern determined, as they had done
in reference to the old shares, to give interest
on the money paid upon the new shares, at the rate of
four per cent. up to the 30th of June, and five per cent.
from the 30th of June to t!.e 31st December. That
would not be paid immediately, but at next half-yearly
meeting the directors would render their account on this
subject to the gentlemen coming in under the present
purchase, considering that they also had lent out their
money on the undertaking squally with their own
share-
holders.
In answer to Mr. B. DENNISON.

vious rates. New Mid Kent pockets being obtainable at
5/ 14s to 61 15s, Weald of Kent 4/ 12s to 51 ss, Sussex
pockets 412 s to 4/ 14s per cwt. The Duty for the Kingdom
is backed at 200,000 i to 220,0001. At the Wtrcester market
a good business has been done in Hops, but in some cases
prices have slightly given way.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sales of East India commenced to-
day, and were the largest ever known, the quantity advertised
reaching 21,393 chests, of which 13,000 were in
importers' hands, and 1,000 chests second- hard goods ;
several parcels have not been examined by the
trade, owing to the want of time. Before the Open.
Mg and during the progress of the sale 1,310 chests
were withdrawn. 914 chests have passed the hammer this
day. We do not remember so small an attendance of foreign
and home buyers, and so uneven and fiat a sale.
C.OOrtNEAL—The better qualities are still wanted, and

Captain LAWS said they confidently looked forward
to a hundred or a hundred and thirty miles being
opened and in productive operation by the lst July, 1848.
He said he had recently visited from London to York
over the main line and the loop, and looking at the
works with which they would or would not have to con-
tend, and the population on the line, he ri as
dent that the London and York was the saf st under-
taking that had yet come out. He had no hesitation in
saying that the revenue would fully realise their most
sanguine expectations.
After a few words from the Chairman, the meeting
separated.

supply further declined in value Id to 21b per lb; at auction
101 bage were sold.
Fitur.—ln New Patras Currants the demand has been
active, and prices are firm. In New Valentia Raisins there
has been an extensive business doing, and the price has
risen to 455, notwithstanding the numerous arrivals Tile
arrivals of new Muscatels have been very considerable, and
extensive sales made, the price being very low.
CCCO.l.—The demand has fallen oft' for West India, and
the market having been more liberally supplied, a decline in
prices of is to 2s per cwt has taken place. Foreign has met
with little attention, and 243 bags Bahia at auction were
taken in at 32s 6d to 33s for good middling red, 33s 6d to 345
for good, and at 31s for country damaged.
&tail is wanted, but at present no advance in the value
has taken place; Sago flour is held for 16s to 17s, but there
are at present not many buyers to be met with. For Tapioca
prices remain low, and the supply yet exceeds the demand.

home consumption, but no further advance in the value has

LARNE, BELFAST, AND BALL Y-
MENA IZAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
An adjourned meeting of the shareholders in this line
was held to-day at the London Tavern, for the pur ()Ise of
considering of the dissolution of the Company, Mc. W.
Morley in the chair.
Mr. M-Quig, Mr. Cohen, and Mr. Freeman, acted as
scrutineers.

The questions of dissolution and bankruptcy, moved
at last meeting, were formally put, and the shareholders
present proceeded to the vote, which was then d, elated
to be, including the former day's voting, for dissolution,
I,39o—against it, 25 ; for dissolution by bat kruptcy,
260, and against it, 1,005.
This, not being a sufficient number to make the result
decisive, endeo the formal business of the meeting.
Mr. Mum ley having been re-elected to the chair,
Mr. ll`Quio, one of the Committee appointed to
examine the affairs of the Company, read the report.
It ,stated that the capital of the Company was
divided into 15,000 shares of 201. mach, which
were allotted in the month of September, 1843;
that of these stares 8,975 only had been paid upon,
giving 20,0871 14s. Bd. Payments had been made up to
July last to the amount of 8,5981. 13s. 7d. by the direc-
tors, leaving a balance of 11,4891. ls. Id. Claims were
made upon the balance to the amount of 7,700.. If that sum
were paid, and no further expenses incurred, there being
at present 7,780 scrip shares, there would be a dividend
on each share of abuut 10s. From 5,000 to 6,000 shares
allotted had not been taken up, and tharprincipally by
the Provisional Committee ; that 1,180 shares by order
of the directors were purchased in for 3,395/. ss. on
behalf of the Company, and out of the Compuny's fund,
in October, 1845. The balance of money in hand was
found to be in the name of the solicitor to the Company,
at Messrs. Drummond's Bank; it had been refused to be
paid over.
Mr. M'KEE, one of the directors, said, that purchase
of shares was made by the authority of two directors
alone; there never had been a board before that. The
broker came to the board and threatened to put a dis-
tringas on the funds of the company, unless the money
for these shares was paid. It was under such circum-
stances that Mr. Spottiswoode was induced to put his
name to the cheque.
Mr. BIIRCHILL stated that the money being in his
name at the Messrs. Drummond's was altogether that
the shareholders might. get the readier access to it. The
fund was in Chancery in Ireland, and by an order was
paid out to Messrs. Johnston, Barlow, and Spottiswoode.
He immediately invested it in Exchequer-bills to the
amount of 11,300/., and with the balance deposited them
where they were. He was ready under order of the
gentlemen named to pay out that money to any parties
whom they might please to name.
After a good deal of conversation,
Mr. MATTRY moved that, though the shareholders
might be strictly entitled to more than 15s. a share, they
would yet be satisfied to accept the same in full of all.
Mr. COHEN seconded the resolution, which was car-
ried.
Mr. HAYNES moved that the money in hand be paid
over to Messrs. Johnstone. Morley, M‘liee, and Spot-
tiswoode, Mr. Morley always signing the cheques.
This was put and carried.
Mr. MATTHT moved that Messrs. M•Quig, Cohen, and
Freeman form a committee to concert with the directors
for carrying out these resolutions.
Mr. R. JONES seconded this, and it was passed unani-
mously.
The meeting then adjourned.

taken place, although the supply at market is small. Holders
of Sperm are inclined to realise, as there is a fair stock here,
and they accept 771 to 781 for good to fine, and 751 103 to 761
lOs for fair to mid quality ; at these rates a good business has
be transacted. Of Fish Oils none have again been brought
to public sale, but several parcels have arrived since this day
week ; the deliveries are, however, going on satisfactorily, and
all kinds are yet cheaper than they were last session. Lin-
seed Oil has been in excellent request on the spot by thehome
trade; but the crushers are more inclined to realise, in
consequence of the increasing supply, and they accept 25s
per cwt. For forward delivery several contracts have been
entered into at 25s 3d to 23s 6d per cwt., but for exportation
the demand has become limited. In Rapeseed Oil many
purchases have been made, and prices are firm. Of Cocoa
Sut Oil the quantity at market is not sufficient for the de-
mand, and prices are rising. In Palm a good deal has been
done, and at firm prices. Olive has been largely dealt in.
Lard Oil is wanted, and prices are firmer.
TALI ow.—Prices have further advanced considerably for
Russian on the spot, the town and country demand having
been extensive, and arrivals continuing to be small ; indeed,
the stock has nearly all passed into second hands, both of
new and old ; the rates given have been 46s to 46s 6d for the
former, of first quality, and 45s 6d per cwt for the
latter; even at these high prices there are not
free sellers, as the supply and stock is much less than it
was last year. For forward delivery a good deal has been
done at adanced rates. Home have met with eager buyers,
and prices are rising, 44s having been paid nett cash ; but
there is still a good supply ; the consumption is, however,
very large, this being yet the cheapest sort of Tallow. All
other sorts have met with much attention, and brought higher
prices, the supply being small.
TIMPENTINE.—Prices continue rapidly to advance; the
supply being small, and the demand extensive. For spirits
the latest rates paid have been 58s to 60s. Of Rough the
market has been nearly cleared at higher prices. Tar is
much wanted, but not much is to be had.

The CHAIRXAN said the line was but eight miles
long. It was considered as a branch line of the Great
Northern, and therefore in the Act a clause had been
introduced empowering the shareholders to sell the lino
to that company. . .

The Solicitor: then read the resolution authorising the

that the shares in the Stamford and Spalding hhould

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of October 6.)

SUGAR.—To-day bright yellow qualities of West India
Muscovado Sugar were in excellent request for the scale, and
merchants were enabled to obtain previous rates; although
there was a larger quantity on offer, inferior brown and grey
kinds /were purchased with more freedom, in consequence of
a further reduction in prices of 6d per cwt. having been sub-
mitted to ; but these sorts are yet abundant.
REFINE .—Today Refined goods were sparingly dealt in
by the home trade, and there were sellers of brown grocery
lumps at 635, and standard lumps at 64a. Bonded crushed
Sugar is heavy of disposal—first quality at as per cwt.
