A special meeting of the shareholders of this company
was held yesterday, at the offices, 449, West Strand,

before Parliament, and for confirming the forfeiture of
certain shares. Sir B. Price was in the chair.

The forfeiture of the shares (640 in number) having
been confirmed,
It was stated that it was proposed by the Bill to re-
duce the capital from 250,0001. to 125,0001., and to con-
solidate the whole of the shares into one description of
stock, and to make no further calls on the proprietors;
that for the purpose of settling the dispute with the
South Wales Company, 6,3001. be subscribed to the un-
dertaking; the Llynvi Company should pay them 4,500/.
in bonds, payable in five years, at 4 per cent.; the bor-
rowing powers of the company to be reduced from
66,0001. to 20,0001.
The Bill was sanctioned, and a vote of thanks having
been given to the Chairman, the meeting broke up.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, JUNE 24.
With a moderate supply of wheat at market this day, the
trade was steady at last week's rates ; but little disposition,
however, was evinced to buy, and the trade finished somewhat
heavy. Beans, the only spring corn at market, in demand,
and higher prices are given.

HULL, JUNE '24.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—The ar-
rivals of grain since our last have been rather more liberal
than for some time past, which, accompanied by warmer and
more seasonable weather, has produced rather a pause in our
market. At to-day's market our farmers brought a liberal
quantity of wheat forward, for which an advance was asked,
but former prices only obtainable. For foreign the demand
has rather slackened, unless for the best fresh sorts; warehoused
stocks are not so easy to move, and indeed are held somewhat
above the market, which closes dull at last week's prices. The
high prices asked for barley restrict business, or the moderate
arrival would not suffice for the demand. Of oats there have
been tolerable arrivals from abroad, and the market is doll at
about Is per quarter decline. Beans and peas in fair demand
at late rates. Only a limited business passing in linseed, but
we do not note prices any lower. Cakes dull, and might pos-
sibly be got at a trifle under our quotations. Nothing doing
in rapeseed ; Cakes are only a dull sale, at somewhat reduced
prices. A good supply of bones, and the close of the season has
caused them again to decline in price.

MURDER OF A CHILD AT DuLivicm—Yesterday
a long inquiry was gone into before Mr. W. Carter. the co-
roner, at the Marlborough Arms Tavern, Camberwell, con-
cerning the death of a female child, found murdered at the
residence of Mr. Naile, a gentleman of fortune, residing at
Dulwich. It appeared from the evidence that a female
named Theresa Jane Flayer, was housemaid to Mr. Nails,
and from appearances she was suspected of having given
birth to a chile. Search was made, and the body was dis-
covered underneath her bedstead. Sergeant Godfrey, of the
P division, was called, and on opening the parcel he found
the body of a female child recently born. There was a piece
of white ribbon tightly tied round the neck; the tongue was
protruding from the mouth, and wee much swollen. The
female Flayer was aftewards taken into custody to the
workhouse, where she at present remains. Mr. Flower,
surgeon, who had made a post mortem examination of the
body, said he had no doubt the child had breathed some
time, and its death was from strangulation, caused by a
ligature round the neck. The jury unanimously returned a
verdict of " Wilful Murder against Theresa Jane Flayer."
METROPOLIS WATER SUPPLY.—Last evening a
meeting of the inhabitants of the united parishes of S. An-
drew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, Queen-square,
took place in the great hall of the workhouse, Grays' Inn-
lane, to consider the propriety of petitioning against the pro-
posed Government Bill for the supply of water to the metro-
polis. Mr. Tidmarsh was voted to the chair. It was resolved
to petition against the passing of the proposed Bill, and it
was further resolved that an association should be now es-
tablished to obain a better and purer supply of water ; and the
having passed a vote of thanks to the chairman,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
In the course of the discussion by the Assembly of
the measure proposed by M. CHAPOT (which was read
a first time) to ensure more effectually the authenticity
of the signatures attached to petitions, M. EaSILE DK
GIRARDIN declared that the practice of petitioning
ought to be done away with altogether, as a monarchi-
cal practice not required under a republican Govern-
ment. He then proceeded to describe the manner in
which petitions are got up for the revision of the
Constitution in the following terms :
"Petitions were every day presented to the Assembly
in favour of the revision of the Constitution, but the
following fact would show what degree of credit ought
to be attached to them. The National had that morning
contained a letter from a c3rrespondent in the Basses
Alpes, declaring that the Prefect had sent to the func-
tionaries under him au order, recommending them
to get petitions signed in favour of the revision of
the Constitution; that order had proceeded from
the Minister of the Interior. When it was con-
sidered that a similar influence was exercised by
the other Prefects, and when it was borne in mind
that there were in France 500,000 official employes, he
would ask was there not danger in petitioning, and
ought not the right to be stippresscd. He held in his
hand a circular from a sub-prefect, which insisted on
the necessity of all citizens being prepared for the even-
tualities of 1852, and on the propriety of guarding
against them by making every exertion en favour of the
re-election of L. N. Bonaparte. All well-intentioned
citizens ought to be prepared, it said, to rise sponta-
neously and simultaneously to put down any opposition
to the claims of the President. Such a document, said
M. E. de Girardin, was highly objectionable ; first, be-
cause it attributed to the President a popularity which
he did not enjoy, and next, because it contemplated a
course altogether in opposition to the enactments of the
Constitution, and the oath taken by the President him-
self. He called the attention of the Minister of the
Interior to the documents which he had quoted, and in
conclusion he must again repeat the opinion, that in a
republic it would be better to suppress the practice of
petitioning altogether."
The Sub-Committee on the revision of the Consti-
tution, charged to examine all the petitions to the As-
sembly on that subject, is already far advanced in its
work, and it is thought that it may be terminated by
the end of the week. In the sitting of yesterday the
Committee made known the result of the examination
already completed of 50 departments, beginning with
the Ain, and coming up to the Marne. In these 50
departments there are for the pure and simple revi-
sion 256,664 signatures, crosses, and adhesions legal-
ised and non-legalised; for the recision and the pro-
longation of the powers of the PEESIDENT 184,431 ;
and for the prolongation alone 10,160. The total
number of signatures legalised and non-legalised
affixed to all the petitions received, for revision and
prolongation, and for prolongation alone, amount to
894,427 ; the number of crosses is 28,247, and of ad-
hesions 32,981, making a grand total of 450,655
signatures, crosses, and adhesions affixed to the peti-
tions already received from the first 50 departments by
alphabetical order.
Considering the great exertions made to obtain
signatures by the 500,000 employes who depend for
their subsistence on the Government, the number of
signatures falls far short of what we expected.
The petitions for the revision of the Electoral Law,
and the restoration of universal suffrage, are even more ;
numerously signed.
M. LAMARTINE, in the Pays, thus reasons on the
question for revision. He says :—" The question for
us is this—An agitated country if there be revision ;
a dissatisfied country demanding satisfaction from a
revolutionary opposition if there be no revision. We
prefer an agitated to an irritated country, and there-
fore we advocate revision, if the Republic have for its
judge universal suffrage."
Count DE STURMER, who has resided for nearly a
quarter of a century in quality of Austrian Internun-
eio at the Ottoman Porte, and whose name is con-
nected
with all the great transactions which have
taken place in the Levant during that period, has just
arrived in Paris, from whence he is, it is said, about ;
to proceed to London.

he Committee on the Avignon Railway Bill held
a long sitting on Monday. After a warm discussion,
the Committee maintained its previous resolutions as
to the propositions which had been presented by dif-
ferent companies. It also ratified its decision as to
the provisional execution of the line from Paris to
Lyons by the State. It afterwards decided, by a
majority of 7 to 5, that the railway from Lyons to
Avignon should be provisionally made at the expense
of the State.

The Committee on the Budget, altering its first
decision relative to the subventions granted to the
Italian Theatre and the Odeon, has determined on
maintaining both.
The illoniteur .Algirien of the 20th contains the
following details of the movements of the expedi-
tionary column :
" General Saint Arnaud left Djidjelli on the 15th,
and on the 9th attacked the Beni-Aisia, and burnt
their villages. After a warm engagement, in which
they were vigorously pursued, with the great loss of
some men, the Beni-Ahss wrote to demand the
Aman. On the 10th, the column was bivouacked
in the midst of the Beni•Maad, the strongest of the
tribes to the west of Djidjelli. All the contingents
of the Ouled-Nabet, Ouled-Ali, and the Beni-hle.rmi
were assembled on this point, crowned the heights,
and occupied the strongest positions. During the
10th and 11th, there was continued fighting, the posi-
tions were successively carried, and the village taken
and burnt; the enemy were pursued in erery direction,
and lost a great number of men. A brilliant affair was
accomplished by two companies of the .16th Light In-
fantry. They carried by assault a position which was
defended by the Kabyles, and considered by
them as im-
pregnable. While climbing up the entrenchments the
Kabyles kept hurling down large stones on their heads,
but they continued the attack, amidst the applause of
all the column. Some shells, which were well thrown,
and fell amongst the enemy by the artillery caused a
division in favour of the attacking party. The re-
sults of these combats has been the submission of the
Beni-Moad and the Beni-Marmi. Oa the 12th General
de St. Arnaud, marching on Ziama, met the contingents
of the Ouled-Nabet and the Beni-Segoual, who appeared
disposed to dispute his passage. Thoy were, however,
vigorously attacked and put to flight. In the evening
a deputation from these tribes came to the French camp
to offer their submission, and on the following day the
Beni-Bou-Jussef also made a similar offer. All the
tribes of the western part of the circle of Djidjelli hav-
ing thus submitted, and the country having been or-
ganized, the General returned to Djidjelli on the 16th,
and, on the morning of the 18th, was again to take the
field against the Beni-Siar and the Beni-After, towards
the east. In these several combats the less of the enemy
was severe, whilst that of the French has been very
trifling."
At the commencement of business at the Bourse
the speculators showed some hesitation in purchasing.

the review in the Champ do Mars by the PRESIDENT had
