A STEAMER NEARLY WRECKED AT LONDON-
BRIDGE—Yesterday, at noon, an alarming occurrence took
Jerseyplace at London-bridge. The and Guernsey screw,
steamer Collier, arrived in the river, off the Custom-house,
and her anchor was let go to bring the vessel up, so that
she might drift up with the tide to her proper moorings
alongside Fresh Wharf, London-bridge, where she was to
land passengers, and to discharge her cargo. Owing, how-
ever to the swiftness of the tide her anchor did not bite, and
the vessel was carried with considerable force against one of
the piers of the bridge. Fortunately, she struck stem on ;
had it been rnidships, probably she would have broken in
two and have gone down. After striking, she drove under
the arch, and her masts and part of her funnel were carried
away, which fell on her decks with a loud crash. The crew
and passengers luckily escaped injury. When the vessel was
brought up off Bankside she appeared almost a wreck.
RAILWAYS.—From a return to an order of the
House of Commons, which has just been printed, it appears
that the total length of railway in Great Britain and Ireland
open for traffic on the 30th June, 1849, was 5,447 miles, on
which were employed 55,968 persons. The length of railway
in course of construction at that date was 1,504 miles; and
authorised, though neither open for traffic nor in course of
construction, 5,132 miles; together employing 103,816 per-
sons. Thus, the total length of railway authorised to be
used for the conveyance cf passengers on 30th June, 18-19.
was 12,083 miles; and the total number of persons employed
thereon was 159,784.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The discussion of the Paris and Avignon Railway
Bill was resumed in the National Assembly on Wed.
nesday, and the amendment of M. GREVY, proposing
that the road should be executed by the state, was
rejected by a majority of 433 to 205. On the rejec-
tion of M. GaEvY's amendment, M. D'ARBLAY
moved a second amendment, for granting fifty mil-
lions to the state to complete the road as far as
Chalons ; this is an attempt to get rid of the measure
by a side wind, and it appeared to excite considerable
alarm among the Ministers, as M. D'ARBLAY is a
member of the reactionary majority, and was, under
the Monarchy, one of the undeviating supporters of
M. GUIZOT. The Minister of Public Works de-
manded time for the consideration of the proposition,
which, if adopted, would, he said, entirely destroy the
Ministerial measure, and the consideration was ac-
cordingly adjourned to the following day.
The Republicans of all shades have determined
(much to the chagrin of M. EMILE DE GIRANDIN)
to start IL. DUPONT DE L'EURE as their candidate
at the approaching election for Paris, and the vene-
rable Republican has accepted the candidature.
The Moniteur dac Soir says the Committee on the
Bill on the press appears to have 'postponed any de-
cision until the elections of the 28th instant. The
majority of the delegates propose to have Paris, and
to return when the discussion shall recommence.
We find the following in the same semi-official
journal :
M. TALLEYRAND, First Secretray of the Embassy
at Vienna, has arrived in Paris with dispatches. On
passing through Brussels he had an interview with
Prince METTERNICH.

DIRECT EXETER, PLYMOUTH, AND DEVONPORT
RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the Master iu Chancery, Sir W.
Horne, finally, with sowie few exceptions, settled the list of
shareholders, in number 735, liable to be called on to defray
liabilities. Sundry individuals returned as gone to Califor-
nia and Australia, and as having revoked their application for
shares before the allotment had been struck off, while others
who paid 3s. per share, in the expectation that they would
be relieved from all future liability, were retained on the list,
the Master being of opinion that, in point of law, he could
not exonerate them, though the amount they had paid would
be placed to their credit, to be deducted from the general
call to be made on the shareholders, which, as far as at .pre-
sent calculated by Mr. Sandeman, the official manager, and
Messrs. Fyson, Curling, and Hope, solicitors to the estate,
will amount to about ss. per share.
HALIFAX FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. This
society numbers 162 members, who hold among them 212
shares. The land allotted is acres in extent, and cost
9201., or about Hid. per yard. On Monday afternoon last
the members and friends of the society assembled in Albion-
street School-room, Halifax, where they formed themselves
into a procession, which proceeded to the field in Hanson-
lane, where the members received possession of their respec-
tive allotments. The inauguration being completed, the
procession returned to the school-room, where the notable
event of the day was celebrated by a social tea party.
MORBID CURIOSITY.—DR. NOLAN.—OH Sunday
last the services at Ducie Chapel were conducted by Dr.
Nolan, for the first time since the action for defamation of
character, tried at the recent Liverpool assizes. The chapel
was crowded both morning and evening, great numbers not
being able to obtain admission at the latter service. Both
before and after the time of the services, many persons had
assembled in front of the building, and the aid of the police
was required in order to keep the footpath clear. Lest any
interruption should be offered, Mr. Chief Superintendent
Beswick and Superintendent Leary were in attendance; but
not the slightest disturbance or expression of feeling took
place. Dr. Nolan, in the course of his address, took God to
witness his innocence of the charges made against him.—
Manchester Guardian.
The second line of tube for the double roadway at
the Britannia-bridge is to be floated in May. The request
to her Majesty to permit the attendance of the Prince of
Wales, with his royal father, at a festival to celebrate the
successfal prcgress of this great work in engineering science,
has been declined, on account of the Queen's "interesting
situation," so far as regards the Prince Consort, and the youth
of the heir apparent to the crown.—Chester Courant.
ANOTHER FATAL WRECK.—Letters received on
Tuesday at Lloyd's state the loss of th barque Emma, Cap-
tain Christie master, belonging to Dundee, on her passage
from Newcastle to Montreal, on one of the Orkneys. On the
morning of the Ist inst., at daybreak, the vessel was observed
off St. Margaret's, at anchor, about half a mile from the
shore, the wind at the same time blowing tremendously from
the S.E. During the fury of the gale the ship was dis-
covered adrift. Those on board managed to make sail on
her, and she stood to the eastward, and then tacked and
stood to the north, when she drove and struck on the point
of the rocks with terrible force. Her fearful position was
observed from the shore, but it was utterly impossible to
render any assistance to the crew. The poor fellows took to
the rigging, and their cries and gestures for help were truly
heart-rending; their sufferings, however, were but for short
duration, for within half an hour the masts were carried
away, and the whole of the unhappy creatures met with a
watery grave. The hull of the ship was shortly broken up
into a thousand fragments.
GAS-LIGHT IN DWELLINGS.—This desirable system,
the extensive adoption of which, together with rented
meters and fittings, liberal reductions of price, and strict
purity in the manufacture, we have long advocated, is one
certain to promote the interests of companies immensely,
while providing a truly lightsome and attrantive home to
cheer and encourage the people in the path of duty. We
are gratified to observe that the importance of it is now being
urged at Manchester, where a lecture was lately delivered at
the Royal Institution, by Mr. D. Stone, one of whose objects
was to urge its adoption. The local Spectator also has taken
up the subject with a leading article, in an excellent spirit,
on "Gas in Dwellings." In the lecture alluded to, the faci-
lities which gas-light affords for the more proper ventilation
of dwellings, and hence for the further promotion of a cheer-
ful spirit and health in the homes of the poorer classes, were
also pointed out. The chairman of the Manchester Gas
Committee itself was in the chair.—Builder.
DINNER TO ALDERMAN SIR JOHN KEY.--A grand
banquet was given on Monday evening at the London
Tavern, by the inhabitants of Langbourn Ward, to Sir John
Key, Bart., on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of his
election to fill the office of Alderman of the ward. The chair
was filled by Mr. G. Moffatt, M.P., and covers were laid
fur 122.

A Council of Ministers was held on Tuesday at the
Elysee, at which the PRESIDENT of the Republic pre-
sided. Before the Council he had a long interview
with General CHANGARNIER.

Accounts from Rouen state that an emute occurred
in that city on Monday, in consequence of the au-
thorities having forbidden the performance of the
Jul{ Errant at the theatre. The people did not dis-
perse until they were charged by the cavalry.
General ORDERER, in command of the troops at
Caen, has published the following order of the day:—
" Grays acts of insubordination have taken place in
the 55th Regiment. A certain number of soldier., led
away by culpable suggestions, gave way, on the 23d ult.,
to a tumultuous manifestation in the barrack of Vaucelles,
at Caen, on the occasion of three of their comrades being
sent to Africa. The presence of the officers add non-
commissioned officers, and the energy which they
displayed, at last recalled these soldiers to a sense
of duty. If, in consequence of this event, I found
myself obliged to pronounce the reduction to the
ranks of such persons as were non-commissioned offi-
cers, I am happy to have bad to point out to the
Minister of War the good conduct of several others.
The reply of the Minister was immediately sent.
By a decree of the 31st of March, non-commissioned
officer Teissier, acting as adjutant, has been appointed
sub-lieutenant ; and Sergeant Dubois would have
obtained the Cross of the Legion of Honour, if he had
completed the twenty yerra' service required by the re-
gulations. The Minister charges me to express to this
worthy soldier the great satisfaction that has been caused
by his admirable conduct on the occasion referred to.
The Minister has also charged me to return thanks in
his name to Captains Chillatune and Pages for the
energy which they displayed, and to inform them that a
note of their conduct has been added to their list of ser-
vice. In conformity with orders sent by t 1 e Minister,
the eight persons named below are to be taken under
escort to Cherbourg, to undergo two months' imprison-
ment—viz, Sergeant Meurey, Corporal Tellier, Remise,
and Castel, all reduced to the ranks; and privates Van-
ductes, Castel, Passicoosset, and Barbsre. At the ex-
piration of that punishment, these persons are to be sent
to Algeria. The General in command of the division
will never leave an act of insubordination unpunished;
but also he will be pleased to call the attention of the
Goternment to those men under his command, who by
their conduct may merit such recommendation."

GREAT EXLIIBITION OF 1851.—Yesterday evening
a public meeting of commercial travellers was held in the
large room of the George Inn, Aldermanbury, for the pur-
po-e of taking into consideration the means to be adopted for
collecting a sum of money to be presented by that body to-
wards the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations in 18.51.
Mr. J. B. Walker presided, and in the course of a forcible
address said that, although comparatively few in number
were present at the meeting, yet they had in their pockets
the proxies of many scores, be might say hundreds, of their
fellow-travellers, who as commercial men were deeply
anxious for the success of the exhibition, and joined them
heart and hand in the objects they were met to forward.
The first resolution. which was moved by Mr. D. Blyth,
seconded by Mr. Bedingfield, and 'carried unanimously, was
to the following effect :—" That this meeting, feeling deeply
sensible of the beneficent result which the great exhibition
of 1851 is calculated to produce, particularly to those who
are immediately connected with commerce, by the effect it
will have of strengthening the bonds of friendship between
this and other countries, by which international commerce
will necessarily be increased, the manufactures of nations
improver, and the civilization, peace, and happinees of the
while world promoted. resolves to use its utmost endeavours
to further the noble intention of his Royal Highness Prince
Albert by inviting the commercial travellers of the Unite!
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to unite in contri-
buting a sum of money towards defraying the expenses of
the said exhibition." The next resolution, which was also
carried nenz. con., and was moved by Mr. M'lntyre, and
seconded by Mr. Sprinkling. was to the effect that a commit-
tee should be appointed for the purpose of adopting and car-
rying
out such measures as might be deemed efficient for
raising such a fond. Several other resolutions were then
proposed, appointing officers for carrying the forementioned

Portsmouth on Sunday, went into harbour in the evening. On
Monday morning she moved alongside the land jetty to laud the
9 barb horses and 4 cases she has brought home as presents
from the Emperor of Morocco to her Majesty. The Bulldog
embarked them at Tangier on the 29th of last month, with
two Moors in charge. The steamer had several gales during
steam-sloop, Pp
her passage from Tangier to Lisbon; but from Lisbon she
had moderate weather, and made a good run horse. The
horses stood the bad weather well; but when embarked were
much finer-looking animals than they appeared yesterday.
Before their embarkation they travelled twenty-five days,
coming from some part of the Emperor's dominions famed
for the breed of horses; a pedigree of each horse and mire
has been sent with the Moor in charge. They are of different
colours, and all appear young; two are mere colts. Several
of them are fine horses, standing about 15 or 16 hands, and
show great blood and courage, and are particularly well
formed about the head, neck, and forehand. The hair about
the mane and tail is partially rubbed off from chafing against
their boxes during the motion of the steamer. They were
all landed safely; but whilst being held by the seamen,
near the wharf, two of the full horses slipped their
heads out of the halters, and commenced a most
furious battle, biting each other, and striking most fiercely
with their fbrefeet. They soon cleared a space, nor could
they be separated till a rope was got between them, and the
grooms lashed them most unmercifully with whips. One of
the grooms drew his sabre, but did not use it. Both grooms
are dressed in the Moorish costume, and the principal has a
ferocious appearance, but both treat their horses kindly, and
looked after them well during the passage. They were taken
to the George Hotel stables, but owing to some bad arrange-
ment they were a considerable time in the dockyard, and
when the two got adrift and began fighting there was
some danger that they might plunge over the margin of
the docks.

D EATH OF ANOTHER FLAG-orric ER .—Retired —Retired Rear-
Admiral Hills died on the Bth instant, at his seat, Asker-hill,
Essex, aged 73. He became a lieutenant in 1798, and a
post-captain in 1814. The deceased was midshipman of the
Eclair at the occupation of Toulon, and was lieutenant of the
Amethyst at the capture of the French frigate Dedaigneuse,
and of other smaller prizes, belonging to the French and
Spanish, during the late war.
She ship Ellenborougb, Captain Lambert, belong-
ing to the Messrs. Smithy, which brought the latest news
from the Cape of Good Hope, has made a very remarkably
quick passage, having been only 96 days front Calcutta, six
of which she was at anchor at the Cape.
THE PETER TAVY AND MARY TAVY CONSOLS
COPPER MINING COMPANY.—A dinner of the shareholders
of this company took place on Tuesday at the London Ta-
vern, Bishopsgate-street ; Mr. Gibson in the chair. The
cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal toasts dis-
posed of, the business of the meeting was commenced. It
appeared that the company has been commenced with a
capital of 2,5001. in 5,000 shares at 10s. each, with no further
calls, on the cost-book system; and that it is a revival of
tl:e old East Wheal Friendship Company, which expended
upwards of 12,0014 upon the mine. It is situated on the
river Tavy, in the county of Devon, and on the run or course
east of the Great Wheal Friendship lode, which has proved
a most profitable adventure to the shareholders; and it has,
' of course, the benefit of the expenditure of the old company
which it succeeds. The chairman promised, for himself and
the directors, that the most rigid economy should be observed,
and as little money as possible spent upon offices or other-
wise, in order that there night be the more for the acAral
working of the mine. The statements of Mr. Heading and
others, practically and personally acquainted with the con-
dition of the mine, were highly favourable, and received
with much applause. The secretary was directed to convene
a meeting of the shareholders for Thursday next.
SOUTH AMERICAN WHEAT.---The vessel Courier,
arrived from San Antonia and Chili, South America, has
brought the large quantity of 5,222 sacks of wheat; and the
vessel Mary Worrall, from Valparaiso, has brought on the
same day ~170 bags of wheat, consigned, and the produce
of that district of South America.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 7 0 THREE.
The Cotton Liverpoel yesterday were
estama•ed at 8,000 bales. of which 650 'American were
taken for export, and 650 on speculation. They closed
very fizei at previous rates.—Railway Shares were dull.
The Colonial Markets have been heavy azain to-day
for the principal articles, and buyers will not come
forward in consequence of the expected continuous
supplies.
The sales of grain in the markets which regulate the
averages were last week 80,311 qrs.
The proprietors of the Royal Mail Steam Company
have held their meeting to-day, and from the statement
of accounts submitted, it appears that the receipts last
year exceeded those of 1848 by 7.843/., while the
" working account" was lessened 1,8851. The com-
pany are prepared to undertake an improved line of
communication with Brazil, if an arrangement can be
effected with Government. A dividend of 2/. per share
for the half-year was agreed on, payable on the
16th inst.
From Amsterdam we learn that an active business
had been done in Stocks, at buoyant rates. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. on the 9th inst. were 55g; Spanish
Five per Cents. w ere in demand.
At Frankfort, on the Bth inst., the Metallics were 78g,
and Spanish Three per Cents. 29,3.
In the Vienna Bcurse, on the sth, the Metallics were
93 5.16, and the Exchange on London declined to 11 49.
The Stock Market is firmer to-day, and the quota-
tions are without much fluctuation, owing to the limited
business doing. The majority in Parliament against
Ministers has some effect, but the satisfactory intelli-
gence from France of the acceptance of the Paris and
Avignon Railway Bill, and the information that the
Greek question will be, in all probability, arranged
within a few days, are calculated to give confidence,
while it is hoped the Ministers here will
not tempt defeat upon any further questions
of importance. Consols have been 95i to 96 for Trans-
fer, and 96k f for the 9th of May. The account would
appear to nave been Bullish, but circumstances have
rather favoured the Bears within the last day or two,
and but for the anti-ministerial demonstrations there
would doubtless have been an improvement this morning,
as stock would have been taken up more freely. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents have realised
97* + and the Three per Cents 95 to k. Bank Stock
has been rather lower, viz., 205 i. Exchequer-bills are
69 to 71 premium.
In Foreign Securities very little is doing. Spanish
Five per Cents. are quoted 18+ and the Three per
Cents. 37+. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been at
32i I, and Brazilian at 87. Buenos Ayres Stock is at
54fr. Mexican havo improved to 29 and 291. Russian
Scrip is l to premium. Dutch Four per Cents. have
been 85k to 85g.
In Railway Shares the dealings aro not important.
Caledonian have been down to 8 and 77,-, Great Northern
to 6, Brighton to 78. and South-Eastern to 12:1; Eastern
Counties are 7e. Midland have been rather better, and
also North-Western.
