RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday, in the House of Lords Committee, the
preamble of the Murhybent and Darlington Bill
was proved.

In the Ways and Means Committee of the House
of Commons the following Bills were passed :—The
Burntisland Harbour and Dock, to raise £lOO,OOO
by shares and £33,300 by loan ; also to authorise
the North British Railway Company to subscribe
£35,000 to the undertaking. The Brampton and
Longtown Bill, to raise £120,000 by shares and
£40,000 by loan. The Berwickshire Bill, to raise
£30,000 by shares and £lO,OOO by loan ; also to
enable the North British Railway to subscribe
130;000 to the undertaking. The Newport Bill, to

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. READ asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department if it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to allow the general sale of cattle at markets, fairs,
and public auctions after the Ist of June ; and, if any
alterations In the present restrictions are contemplated, he
would state those alterations to the house ?

Sir G. GREY said the Privy Council had thought it
inexpedient to make any alterations with respect to the
holding of fairs for the sale of stock after the Ist of June.
The present orders, therefore, would remain in force after
that date, but not for any longer time than was actually
necessary. A trifling relaxation had taken place with re-
spect to those counties in Wales.
VALPARAIS O.

Mr. GRAVES asked her Majesty's Government if it was
true that Commodore de Courcey, who was recently sent
to Valparaiso to succeed Commodore Harvey on the Pacific
Station, had been superseded ; and, if true, whether it was
at his own request, and what were the reasons given for
relinquishing his command ?
Mr. BARING said it was quite true Commodore do
Courcey had been superseded, but at his own request.
That was all the explanation he could give.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

Mr. WYLD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was expedient that the directors of the Bank
of England should exercise the power they possess by
their exclusive privilege of issuing notes to compel the
sale of Consols, and thereby depreciate the securities of
the State upon which their own issues are mainly
founded ? ,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
question opened up a subject of general policy, rather
than being that to which a simple answer could be given.
The act of 1844 was imperative;gand therefore it was im-
possible to deprive the Bank of the power it possessed.

SHIPPING TRADE.

Mr. GRAVES asked the President of the Board of Trade
if it was his intention to introduce a bill for regulating the
landing, moving, and shipping of glonoin or glycerine
oil ?

Mr. GIBSON said a. bill would be introduced on the
subject after Whitsuntide.

THE CLAIM OF MR. BURN.

Col. SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign Office had yet re-
ceived any despatch from Mr. Consul Knox at Bangkok,
in reference to a claim of Mr. Burn, and known as the
Myloongee case, and for the production of which notice
was given on the 12th of April.
Mr. LAYARD said the papers had been received, and
were new under the consideration of the law officers of
the Crown, and as soon as they had given their opinion on
them he would lay the documents on the table.

THE CHOLERA AT BIRKENHEAD.

In reply to Mr. LAIRD,

Mr. BRUCE said the shortness of the time since the
notice of the question had precluded him from giving a full
answer to the question. The emigrants had been removed
to Birkenhead, by order of the Mayor of Liverpool, to the
Government Emigration Depot, which was a building
rented, not owned, by the Government. At that time 400
healthy emigrants were then occupying the lower part of
the building. The 400, however, were removed upstairs,
and the 200 from the Helvetia were quartered in that por-
tion of the building vacated. The 400 emigrants took
their departure to-day, and at the last accounts they
were all well. (Hear.) The cholera broke out amongst the
200 remaining, but the last report he had received from
Birkenhead was favourable, as no further deaths or fresh
cases had occurred, and that all were going on very favour-
ably.

NORTHERN OF BUENOS AYRES.

The adjourned meeting of this company was held
on Thursday at the London Tavern, to fill up
vacancies in the board of directors.

Mr. Morris said that since the last meeting all the
directors had, in order to facilitate the object of the
shareholders, offered to place their resignation in
their hands. (Hear, hear.) The differences with
the late secretary had been arranged, and if the meet-
ing approved of it a sum of money would be paid to
him as compensation, and he would continue to ren-
der assistance to the company, although his official
connexion with it would cease. As to raising the
money required for carrying on the company, the
only course that suggested itself was to raise it on
debentures at about 12i per cent. for three years, to
be offered rateably to the shareholders. This was a
high rate, but he believed that if the shareholders did
not advance the money at that rate they would have
to close the concern and wind it up. As to the
number of the board, his opinion was that it should
be reduced from eight to three. The concern was a
small one, and the expenses ought to be in accord-
' ance. He proposed that Messrs. Haynes and Smith
and Sir John Lees be the directors. They should
be empowered to add to their number. He moved
that as a resolution, which was seconded by Mr.
RIVAZ.

After some discussion, in the course of which the
importance of settling the question of the grant
from the Buenos Ayres Government was urged as a
means for facilitating the raising of the required
capital,

Mr. HARTRIDGE expressed a wish that Messrs.
Laurie and Harrison should be elected, but, as they
declined to act, the members proposed by Mr.
Morris were elected unanimously.

A resolution put at the last meeting, objecting to
Dr. Cullen, in consequence of his connection with
the Financial Corporation Company, was unani-
mously rescinded, and the proceedings terminated.

worse. More than 100,000 bales of cotton have
been added to stock this week in Liverpool, after de-
ducting sales from imports, making the total nearly
1,000,000. Buyers of cloth and yarn have no faith
in prices based on the present rates for cotton un-
der such circumstances, and it is next to impossible
to do business without making concessions in price.
Some producers have taken heavy orders at lower
prices than will pay for cotton at present—a some-
what bold course—but the belief is all but universal
that the raw material must give way a good deal
yet, In shipping yarns the market to-day has been
very quiet, with less disposition for business ; and
lower prices have been accepted generally by spin-
They close very quiet. For home trade
yarns we have also had a very quiet market.
Manufacturers still pursue the policy of buying
yarns only to satisfy immediate requirements, and
prices are slightly easier as compared with Tues-
day. In cloths there is no change since Tuesday.
The market is still very much depressed by constant
rumours of fresh commercial difficulties in London
and Liverpool. Buyers as a rule find it impossible
to discount the paper they 'hold, and this has natu-
rally a tendency to impede operations. There is no
change to-day in quotations for cloth, though yarn
is cheaper, and cotton has given way something
like Id. per lb. at Liverpool.
CARDIFF, 17th.—The steam coal trade of the dis-
trict appears to have entirely escaped the serious
effects of the financial panic, as, in addition to the
number of contracts on proprietors' books fresh orders
are coming in regularly, and it as much as colliery
owners can do to meet with any degree of prompt-
ness the demand from the home and foreign markets.
Should, unfortunately, the Continental difficalties
end in war, the demand for Welsh steam will be very
large. The inland trade has greatly increased ; in
fact, the traffic to the London markets has nearly
doubled during the past 12 months. The ironworks
are fairly employed in clearing off arrears from the
order-books, while a few good contracts have come
in from America and some of the other foreign
markets. Still, the demand, upon the whole, is slow.
On home account there is virtually nothing doing,
all parties waiting the result of the panic before
entering into fresh transactions.

ners.

NOTTINGHAM, 18th.—There was a moderate at-
tendance at our Exchange-hall to-day. The inquiry
for lace yarns was rather improved, but buyers
generally are holding off in the anticipation of a
reduction in prices. For hosiery yarns prices were
nominally unaltered. Advices from Marseilles and
Lyons report an advance in the value of silk, but
the Nottingham market continues very dull. The
trade doing in brown nets is very limited, and prices
have a receding tendency.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT NORTHERN.

A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the station, King's-cross ; Colonel
Packe, M.P., in the chair.
Mr. Oakley, the secretary, having read the notice
convening the meeting,

The CHAIRMAN said they had a long list of bills
to consider, but only five or six of them were pro-
moted by the company. The first bill he had to sub`
mit was " A bill to confer additional powers on the
Great Northern Railway Company with respect to
their undertaking." It authorised the widening of
the line near King's-cross, the doubling of the Co-
penhagen tunnel, and the purchase of lands at various
places on the line for additional station accommo-
dation. The share capital authorised was £BlO,OOO
and the power to borrow £270,000.
Mr. HUGHES, Dr. JARDINE, and other sharehold-
ers objected to raising any more capital.
A formal resolution approving the bill was car-
ried.

The next bill submitted and approved authorised
the company to abandon the construction of a short
line of railway and other works at Barnet.

A bill for making a railway in the West Riding
of Yorkshire, from Bradford, through Ecclestield,
to Idle, was approved. The length of line was 31-
miles, and would pass through a populous district.
The capital was £65,000, and the borrowing powers
were £21,600.
The next was a bill to transfer the West Riding
and Grimsby Railway to the Great Northern and
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway
Companies jointly. Each company would have to
raise £200,000 in shares, and,;£66,600 on loan. The
bill was approved.
A bill for constituting the Great Northern and
Midland Railway Companies joint owners of the
railway authorised by the Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincolnshire Railway (Extension to Liverpool) Act,
1865, was approved. Each company would have to
subscribe £250,000 to be raised on shares, and
£83,300 on loan.
A bill for empowering the three companies to
make new lines in connexion with the Extension to
Liverpool line was agreed to, each company to sub-
scribeloa
n.i40,000 to be raised on shares, and £13,300
on

A bill for empowering the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire Railway Company to make a cen-
tral station and railways in Manchester was ap-
proved ; and also a bill for transferring to the three
companies the powers of the Liverpool Central
Station Railway Company.
A bill for granting to the Great Northern Rail-
way Company rune-ng powers over a portion of the
Newton and Compstall branch railway of the
Sheffield Company, and for authorising the said
two companies and the Midland Railway Company
to execute certain works, and for authorising the
Great Northern Thilway. Company and the Midland

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.—
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex; encrng
over greater pat t, of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enioling us to offer even the most, sensi-
tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialite tiertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for uhich her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. Thos system embi aces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until tuey uccome firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

Lord REDESDALE moved the third reading of the
Selling and Hawking Goods on Sunday Bill, which had
been given up by Lord Chelmsford on the amendment
restricting the operation of the act to between the hours
of ten and one o'clock.
Lord TAUNTON moved that the bill be read a third
time that day six months.
The Earl of HARROWBY suggested that its operation
should be confined to the metropolitan police district.
Lord RAVENS W ORTH was of opinion that permissive
powers might be given to the local authorities to adopt
and put the act in force.
After some remarks from Lord Lifford, Lord Teynham,
Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, and the Duke of Cleveland,
on a division the third reading was carried by a majority
of one, the numbers 50 to 49.
On the motion that the bill do pass, a discussion arose
with respect to the clause leaving the enforcement of the
act to the police, but it was eventually adjourned for a
fortnight.
In reply to the Earl of CARNARTO;
Earl GRANVILLE said that reports ordered by the
President of the Poor-law Board into the condition of the
metropolitan infirmaries would, when completed, be laid
before Parliament.
Earl FORTESCUE complained that the administration
of the poor law in the metropolis was not sufficiently
watched by the inspectors of the board.

On the motion of Earl RUSSELL, the house adjourned
until Monday, the 28th of May.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE,

Mr. READ asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Departmentif it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to allow the general sale of cattle at markets, fairs,
and public auctions after the Ist of June ; and, if any
alterations in the present restrictions are contemplated, he
would state those alterations to the house ?

Sir G. GREY said the Privy Council had thought it
inexpedient to make any alterations with .respect to the
holding of fairs for the sale of stock after the Ist of June.
The present orders, therefore, would remain in force after
that date, but not for any longer time than was actually
necessary. A trifling relaxation had taken place with re-
spect to those counties in Wales.

VALPMIAISO.

Mr. GRAVES asked her Majesty's Government if it was
true that Commodore de Courcey, who was recently sent
to Valparaiso to succeed Commodore Harvey on the Pacific
Station, had been superseded ; and, if true, whether it was
at his own request, and what were the reasons given for
relinquishing his command ?
Mr. BARING said it was quits true Commodore de
Courcey had been superseded, but at his own request.
That was all the explanation he could give.

NORTHERN OF BUENOS AYRES.

The adjourned meeting of this company was held
on Thursday at the London Tavern, to fill up
vara.nrips in an

Mr. MORRIS said that since the last meeting all the
directors had, in order to facilitate the object of the
shareholders, offered to place their resignation in
their hands. (Hear, hear.) The differences with
the late secretary had been arranged, and if themeet-
ing approved of it a sum of money would be paid to
him as compensation, and he would continue to ren-
der assistance to the company, although his official
connexion with it would cease. As to raising the
money required for carrying on the company, the
only course that suggested itself was to raise it on
debentures at about 12i per cent. for three years, to
be offered rateably to the shareholders. This was a
high rate, but he believed that if the shareholders did
not advance the money at that rate they would have
to close the concern and wind it up. As to the
number of the board, his opinion was that it should
be reduced from eight to three. The concern was a
small one, and the expenses ought to be in accord-
ance. He proposed that Messrs. Haynes and Smith
and Sir John Lees be the directors. They should
be empowered to add to their number. He moved
that as a resolution, which was seconded by Mr.
RIVAZ.

After some discussion, in the course of which the
importance of settling the question of the grant
from the Buenos Ayres Government was urged as a
means for facilitating the raising of the required
capital,

Mr. HARTRIDGE expressed a wish that Messrs.
Laurie and Harrison should be elected, but, as they
declined to act, the members proposed by Mr.
Morris were elected unanimously.
A resolution put at the last meeting, objecting to
Dr. Cullen, in consequence of his connection with
the Financial Corporation Company, was unani-
mously rescinded, and the proceedings terminated.

INDIAN BRANCH.

The ordinary general meeting of the company
was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; the
Marquis of Tweeddale in the chair.

Major-General C. C. JOHNSTONE, the managing
director, read the report, an abstract of which has
appeared in The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, expressed his satisfaction at the present
state of the company. There had been great diffi-
culties to contend with in respect to the Nulhatee
line, and it still remained a source of anxiety to the
Board ; but, no doubt, that would be removed when
more rolling stock was placed on the line. It was
expected that the line from Lucknow to Cawnpore
would be opened during the present year for traffic.
Mr. W. DENT seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report.
Mr. G. SHEWARD thought the report was not
satisfactory, and was of opinion that there should be
a committee of the shareholders to consult with the
Board as to the future management of the company.
Several shareholders expressed their satisfaction
at the position of affairs as explained by the chair-
man, and the motion for the adoption of the report
was put and carried unanimously.
Upon the question of the re-election of Messrs.
Dent, Pender, and Tobin, the retiring directors, a
long discussion ensued, it being suggested by Mr.
Sheward that it was not necessary to refill the three
vacancies. The three retiring directors were re-
elected unanimously.
Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Young were re-
elected as auditors. Mr. Maxwell was appointed to
act with that firm on behalf of the shareholders,
and the proceedings terminated.
