MISCELLANEOUS.

The fiftieth anniversaiFOFtii(; foundation of
the Licensed :Victuallers' Society was held yesterday, at
the London Tavern, Bishopgate-street. The chair was taken
by Mr. Thomas Beasley; who is the Governor of the Society,
and shortly after three about -.700 persons sat down to the
excellent dinner which had been provided by the proprietor
of the establishnient. The festivities were prolonged until a
late hour in the evening, and everything went off to the, sa-
tisfaction of the assembled company.
In the Marylebone Savings' Bank 14,130 deposit accounts
remained open on the 20th of November last, of which no
less than 6,819 held balances averaging less than 41. Bs. 10d.
each. Upwards of 319,4961. was invested with the Commis-
sioners for the Reduction of the National Debt; this amount
has since risen to 327,096/. 3s. 10d., and is rapidly on the
advance.

Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of the Proprie-
tors of the Northern and Eastern Railway, was held at the
Shoreditch terminus, Mr. W. Marshall, M.P., Chairman of
the Board of Directors, presiding, supported by Mr. Ward,
M.P. for Sheffield ; Mr. Routh ; Mr. Masterintin, banker ;
Captain Mangles, R.N. ; Mr. Vizard ;. Mr. Kinnairdi Mr.
Mills, deputy-chairman ; Mr. Gilbertson, mayor of Hert-
ford ; Mr. Levy, and others. The Report announced 'that-
the traffic in passengers, during the past half-year, had
amounted to 38,6841., and for parcels and goods to 5,1821.,
making a total of 43,767/. ; and being an increase on the cor-
responding, period of the previous year of 8,0211., or 224 per
cent. The Directors recommended a dividend at the rate of
44 per cent. on the share capital of the Company. The Re-
port., after some discussion, was receive& and adopted, with
an amendment substituting a dividend of. 5 per cent. instead
of 44. A gratuity of 4,0001. was then voted to the Directors
for their past services in the management of the railway; and
the vote having been acknowledged, the meeting adjourned.,
On Thursday evening the officers of the Ist Life Guards'
and Grenadier Guards gave an amateur performance at the
Windsor Theatre, the proceeds of which, after defraying ne-
cessary expenses, will be appropiated to the charitable insti-"
tutions of the town.

The unhappy woman, Dickenson, who murdered her two
children, and afterwards attempted self-destruction, is suffi-
ciently recovered to be removed to Newgate, and is to be re-
moved there as soon as the Grand Jury is discharged,
so as to allow her time to gain strength to meet her trial at
the next session.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

We have had but few arrivals of English Wheat up to our
market this week, while the show of samples of that article
was small. All kinds met a steady sale at fully the prices of
Monday. The trade with Foreign Wheat was firm, at pre-
vious rates. There was a good display of Barley samples:
Superfine malting qualities sold freely ; other kinds slowly,
at late currencies. fhe Malt trade was comparatively steady,
at full prices. All other kinds of Grain were quite as dear.

The supply of beasts was but moderate as to numbers, and
for the most part of middling and inferior quality. For all
kinds of beef, hors Ever, the demand was in a very depressed
state, and Monday's prices were with difficulty supported.
There was a very small number of sheep in the pens, owing
to which the mutton trade was active at very full rates, and
tt which a clearance was readily effected. Calves were in
full average supply and heavy demand, at a depression of
from 2d to quite 4d per 81bs. In pigs little was doing at our
quotations. Milch cows moved off slowly at from 161 to
