IfYAM and CO.'S SU t 1 MER CLOTHING.
Tie difficulty of securing an enact fit from a stock of ready-
made clothing is often a cause of comolaint with the pi, bl c, arising
trout the want of a sufficient varie,y of sizes. Evers obstacle,
owt-ver, In this respect, is entirely removed by lIYA NI and CO.,
whose stock ot Clothing for immediate wear is so varied in size and
make, as to ensure a perfect adaptation to personal peculiarities.
It is not th, practice of II YAM and CO. to retain the stale stock of
past seasons (as is often th i
, case). a practice which is rt ndered m-
i.ossib a, tr m the c rcumstance of the enormous sales whi -h the
arttcics of itYAM and CO. continually command. The best, the
most extensive, and the cheapest .assortment of Gentlemen's
and Youth's Dress Is, beyond question, that ot lIYAM and CO.
Where a person, through limited means, was obliged to n Inc him-
sell to one suit, he can now assume two suits a season ; and if any
doubt of this ass( mon b at al: en ert tine I, an inspection and com-
parison of prices will at once remove; it. For extent, varie y, no-
velty, quality, and cheapness, the Sa'e Department of IIY N 4 and
t yl, is pre-e ninently superior to any and every other establishment
in the trade.

TIIE ROYAL PROCESSION TO
PARLIAMENT.
Few prorogations have excited co much interest as that of the
Parliament in 1851. It is preparatory to a dissolution. Will the
same Parliament ever meet atrat‘, are questions which arise among
politicians, but cannot be answered. The Parliamaqt is rarely al-
lowed to die a natural d ath, and the present is drawing nearly to its
close, and may be dissolved decor° Christmas taking advantage of
the calla which succeeds a stormy session, and fr m the benefit de-
rived from the absence of all political excitement ; meanwhile
everybody is on the qui vivo, providi it for the Sporting season, and
the rush to the Establishmentot E. MOSES and SON for SHOOTING
COATS, FISHING COATS, and DARE-WEATHER DRESSES,
of all kinds, reminds one of the crowds at the Crystal Palace
It is impossible to conceive the effect of the display of seasonable
Clothing, comprising lightness, durability, style, eiegance, and
comfort. Every variety of material and design that the most
ingenious artists an the best workwomen can invent and execute,
may be seen at the great Mart in Aldgate and the Minories, or the
noble West-end Branch Establishmen,, in New Ox:ord-street, corner
of Hart-street. A Gentlem con, when dressed in one of
Messrs. E. MOLES and SON'S new and fash'onable sporting Coats,

if he had no Coat on, and y.t defy tho weather, for they throw off
the water like a duck's back. and are, nevertheless thin, 1 ght, and
beautifully ventilated; in fact Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have
made S ,orting Coats, among other 'bingo, a study, knowing that
perfect freedom of action, lightness of material, a god fit, a cmain
degree of style and elegance, arid durability, are all necessary to
make a gentleman really enjoy sport It is, therefor., with the
highest confidence that Messrs E. MOSES and SON invite all

THE CoUNTiti- MAIiKETS.
BIRMINGHAM, AUG. 14 —At Gloucester and Wor-
cester inerkets on the 9 h the wheat trade ruled dull. at
Is to 24 per quarter lower. Barley less in r, quest, but
nominally unaltered in value. Oats realised quite as
much mousy. Beans and peas but little inquired f ,r,
and the turn cheaper. During the present week the
weather has continued as favourable as possible for the
harvest operations, but the tew sales made have been at
about the previous currency. Only retail sales of bar-
ley have been effected. We have a fair demand for oat.
at a reduction of 6d per quarter. Nothing worth notice
doing in either beans or peas. At this day's marke
there was again only a moderate supply of wheat from
the farmers, hut the trade ruled dull, at a reduction ot
Is per quarter. Barley could only be disposed of by
submitting to a similar decline. Oats found buyers at
6d per quarter under the price of this day se'nnight.
Beans and peas both is to 2s per quarter lower. The
millers reduced the retail price of flour 33 4d per sack.
BRISTOL, AUG. 14.—Wheat was in moderate supply,
but the demand was scanty. English wheat (new), 36s
to 424 per imperial quarter; foreign ditto white. 41s to
44,, ditto red superfine, 38s to 41s, ditto fine 35s 6d to
37,, ditto ordinary 31s to 335, ditto hard 31s to 33s
per 480 lbs. Flour was in small demand. Eeglish flour
(sec.,ntis) 29s to 31s per sack. American ditto (sweet)
21s to 22s per barrel. Oats had a downward tendency.
Devon and Welsh oats, 193 to 203 per imperial quarter ;
Irish white ditto, 20s to 21s per. 3201b5; ditto black
ditto, 19s to 204 per imperial quarter. Beans were also
a dull sale. English Beans, 28s to 32s per imperial
quer er ; foreign ditto, 253 to 28. per 4801bs. The ar-
r,vala for the week hive been—Bristol wheat. 2,145 qrs;
Gloucester ditto, 1,681 qrs; Bristol oats, 208 barrels;
ditto, 808 qrs; Bristol barley, 160 barrels; ditto, 2..085
qrs; Bristol beans, 64 qrs; Bristol flour, 1,092 sacks, 11
narrels. The averages were—Bristol wheat, 38s 4d;
Gloucester ditto, 40s 43; Bristol oats, 21s; Bristol
parley, 24s 4d; Bristol Beans, 343; Gloucester ditto,
29 4d.
GLASGOW, AUG. 13.—'The supplies from abroad, rid
the Clyde, consisted of about 1;969 quarters of wheat
from the Baltic, and 2,280 quarters from Egyptian
ports, 3;840 quarters of beans, principally from Alex-
andria, 550 quarters of Indian corn from Galwz, and
1,104 barrels of flour from New York; and via Grange-
mouth, about 3,482 quarters of wheat, 1,710 quarters of
mts, 1,221 quarters of beans, and 100 quarters of rye.
Coastwise, and from Ireland, the arrivals have been very
light. No essential change occurred during the week,
business being confined to retail transactions. This
lay's mai ket was thinly attended. Wheat and flour
met a limited demand, at barely last week's currency.
Bari,--y was little inquired after, and its value remains
unchanged. Oats and oatmeal have to be written 3d to
6.1 lower per boll or load respectively. Beans and peas
?sere easier t,, purchase. Li= corn, in the absence ot
inquiry, unaltered.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY
COM PANY.

Yesterday the thirty second half-yearly general
meeting of the Great Western Company was held at
the Bristol Terminus, Temple Mead. The chair
was taken shortly after one o'clock by Mr. Charles
Russell, the chairman of the company.
Mr. C. SAUNDERS, the Secretary, having read the
advertisement convening the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said that since the directors met
the proprietors on the 15th ofJune last, their satins
tion had been chiefly directed to the perfecting
of the means of communication with the north. At
that meeting they were pleased to confirm an ag-
greement into which the directors had entered with
the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Com-
pany, and a meeting was convened of the proprietors
of that company also, for the same purpose, and on
the same day. They came, however, to the determi-
nation of adjourning that meeting, with the view of
referring the question to a committee of their share-
holders, and they understood it was their intention
still further to adjourn it to the end of this month. If
the object of the proprietors in thus postponing their
meeting, was merely to afford to their shareholders a
fair opportunity of considering the question, to such
a delay, on such grounds, they could offer no possible
objection. Tney believed that the agreement
was an advantageous agreement for both parties, and
that the more it was examined, and the more fully it
was understood, the more certain it would be to re-
ceive their approbation and confirmation. But, if the
object of adjourning were not deliberation, but delay,
in the hope that they might be able to effect a better
bargain with them, by drawing them into competition
with any other company, in that object they would
unquestionably not succeed. There was no principle
of their policy to which they were more strongly,
more inflexibly adhered, than to resist any such at-
tempt so to coerce them.—(llear, hear.) By their
own admissions they had offered them better terms
than those which they had actually accepted from
the London and North-Western Company ; and he
was at a loss to understand upon what grounds, either
of justice or of reason, they were entitled to expect
more from them. As to the possible, but he hoped
not probable, event, however, of their determining to
decline the agreement, it would not be disadvanta-
geous to both companies to consider what other course
was advisable. Tne Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
nampton Company might endeavour to treat their
line as an independent line, without the aid and
;ssistance of other companies. To such a course
there would be no possible objection. It was per-
reedy reasonable, if it was perfectly practicable. But
had they not tried to do so, and had they not
'ailed ? Why, for the last three years alias had
they been doing, but making attempts to raise the
means necessary fur completing their lines, and what
reasonable expectation was there that those exertions
which had failed them in the past would be more suc-
cessful in the future? Or they might make an alli-
mce with some other company than the Great
Western. But this expedient also had been tried,
and the judgment which was delivered by Lord Cran-
worth, delivered about two months ago, would speak
the result of this, as he was satisfied it must of every
similar one. Tney had, in point of fact, no legal
powers whatever to enter into engagements with
other companies, and even if such powers could be
obtained, the application to Parliament for them would
necessarily involve a considerable loss of time. But
could they be obtained at all ? The firm conviction
of his mind was, that the Parliamentary obstacles
which they would necessarily have to encounter,
would be quite as insuperable as the legal obstacles
which they had already experienced. There was one
ether course which they must not overlook nor forget.
That course was for the Great Western Company to
enter upon and complete the line itself; but though
it was a course which might be called unavoidable, it
was one which they would, reluctantly embrace, as
being injurious to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Company. They had endeavoured, in the
sincere wish of making the best arrangements for the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverbanipton Company
consistent with their duty towards themselves, and to
act towards them in a good spirit. lie was satisfied
that the arrangement which their directors had made
was a wise and judicious arrangement, suited to the
wants and to the interests of both companies, and that
if their proprietors, misled by fallacious expectations,
should listen to other counsellors, they would find—
they might pardon him for saying so—that, as was
generally the case when proprietors took the reins
into their own hands, they had only involved them-
selves in inextricable difficulties, danger, and delay.
The last time they had occasion to advert to their
Oxford and Birmingham line, and to the lines beyond
in connexion with it, was at the end of the month of
May. On that occasion the measures which were
discussed proceeded upon the assumption that it would
he hopeless to seek any further arrangement with the
London and North-Western Company, at all events
until their own system was nearer to completion.
Every circumstance that had since occurred had tended
to confirm them that they were right in determining
to rely upon their own individual resources, and to
Jroceed with the completion of their Oxford and Bir-
Iningham, and their Birmingham, Wolverhampton. and
Dudley lines, with the utmost possible dispatch. They
would remember that that course was entirely consis-
tent withethe recommendations of their committee of
mnsultation which sat the year before last, and at page
6 of their report they said—" Your committee strongly
ecominend the entire completion of the works so as to
enable the Great Western, through traffic of those lines,
fu make such arrangements with other companies
oorth of Dudley, as may produce the greatest possible
raffle upon this route." The works on the Oxford

end Birmingham line, as they could see from the
report of Mr. Brunel!, were in active progress. He
lid not, in that report, advert to the Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, and Dudley line, because it had
ways been under the control and management of
-mother engineer; but they were taking the best steps
in their power to proceed with that line with the ut-
most possible dispatch; and they had already stated
ro the gentlemen who were interested in both those
lines, that they contemplated the completion of the
one line in May, and of the other in April. That
would then carry them to Wolverhampton. Their
last agreement with the Shrewsbury companies,
which was confirmed by the Great Western, and also
by the Birmingham and Shrewsbury proprietors in
May last, had since been confirmed by the Birming-
ham, Shrewsbury, and Chester Company. Those
agreements would unquestionably require the sanction
of Parliament, and it was their intention to proceed
to obtain such sanction in the ensuing session. They
had every hope that in that they must succeed.
But if from any accident whatever they should
tail, they would only then fall back upon their
earlier traffic agreements with the Shrewsbury com-
panies, which were made in the month of January
last. They were legal and complete in all re-
Teets. They required no further sanction, neither
of Parliament or of proprietors, and with those lines,
and under those agreements, they should still be able
to proceed on from Shrewsbury to Chester. The only
remaining link of communication with the North was
the Birkenhead line, and for that line the Shrewsbury
and Chester Company obtained running powers at the
close of last session of Parliament, which would carry
them on in one direction to Birkenhead, and in the
other by Walton and Altrincham to Manchester.
In those powers over the Birkenhead line, neither the
Shrewsbury and Chester Company, nor those who
acted with them, were actuated by any feeling of hos-
tility ; on the contrary, they were desirous to con-
sider them as their friends and allies. They re-
garded the line as forming an important part of their
new system, and it was so regarded by themselves.
The London and North-Western Company had an
obvious interest in bringing up the formation of a new
system of railway communication upon their west. If
they could control one link of it, they would destroy
the continuity of the entire chain. The first attempt
was directed towards the Shrewsbury and Birming-
ham, but they failed most entirely in endeavour-
ing to withdraw that company from the
engagement into which it had entered with them
(the Great Western). They next tried the Shrews-
bury and Chester Railway, but there also they
signally failed. Could there be any doubt whatever
that they would make similar attempts on the only
remaining link? It was to defeat such attempts, and
not for the purpose of invading the Birkenhead Com-
pany, that these powers were sought and obtained.
If the Birkenhead Company would join their alliance,
as he trusted and believed they would, or if they
would conduct their traffic on a free communication
in concert with them, those powers would become
little more than nominal, for they would, of course,
be used under friendly arrangements between the
two companies. He had attempted but a very brief
outline of the new continuous system of railway com-
munication which they had been endeavouring to
establish, or which, be would rather say, they had
established under local agreements and powers which
were sufficient for theupwuropuolsde,baendthwehirichduwv

tempe-
rately, but firmly, to maintain the e position which they
had acquired with the force of circumstances, and they
did hope that their proprietors would give to them their
full support, not only by according to them the ap-
proval which they had already received from them of
those measures, but also by taking a pecuniary
terest in the ehttree of those lines. m the presenf
