All these persons aro said to be of the highest re-

The Presse publishes two diplomatic documents.

"The Ambassador of England declares, for his part,
that the sense of the despatches appears to him suffi-

idea that a further adjournment of the elections is

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLooK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
closed quietly, but firmly, and prices of all kinds
were unchanged. The sales were 6,000 bales.
The Railway Share Market was quiet, and very
little business was transacted.

It is confidently asserted that Messrs. Carr of
Newcastle, whose embarrassments were reported a
few days since, will be enabled to continue business.
The assets are not only large but far in excess of
the liabilities, and the suspension is solely attributed
to the firm having considerable sums locked up
which they could not render immediately available.
Letters from the textile manufacturing districts
represent trade as being dull, but firm, and in souse
departments symptoms of improvement are ap•

RAIL IVAY IIVTICLLIGENCE,

NORTH-EASTERN.
The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this un-
dertaking was held at York yesterday.
H. S. Trtomrsox, Esq., the chairman, moved the
adoption of the report, which has already appeared in
our columns. In the course of his speech he observed
that, in declaring a dividend of not more than 41 and 31
per cent. upon the Berwick and York sections respec-
tively, the directors were influenced chiefly by the fact
that a considerable amount had been credited this half-
year to revenue for interest on unproductive works, espe-
cially the Auckland branch, which was now open for
mineral traffic. All matters in dispute as be-
tween the ordinary and preference shareholders
in the Leeds section were at an end. This, how-
ever, was not all. The directors were enabled not
merely to declare the dividends be had mentioned, but
they had made provision for contingencies to an extent
which must be considered very satisfactory, as putting
the property on a sound footing. On the bad debt fund
they were accumulating a very nice reserve, and they
were adding half-yearly such an amount for fire insur-
ance as would enable them in a few years much to di-
minish the amount paid in this respect. There was
every reason to believe that the Auckland branch would
ultimately prove a profitable one. The time had not
yet arrived when the capital account of the company
could be closed, inasmuch as constant demands were be-
ing made upon the directors for increased traffic accom-
modation.

The report was adopted with but one dissentient—
Mr. Simms.

GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD.
At the half-yearly meeting held yesterday at Feadall's
Hotel, Viscount 'Villiers in the chair,
The report, read by Mr. Eley, the Secretary, stated
that the progress which was being made in the construe.
tion of the railway and docks was satisfactory. The
greater portion of land through which the line passed
had been purchased, and the directors had, with one or
two exceptions, been met in a liberal spirit by the seve•
ral landowners.

The accounts showed total receipts on capital to the
extent of 51,6481., of which 32,610/. bad beentransferred
to construction account, whilst 19,1381. was still in
course of receipt on shares. The total construction ac-
count exhibited on the debit side 33,5261., of which
28,7501 had been expended in purchase of land, con-
struction of works, engineer, law, office expenses, and
similar items, leaving a present balance of 4,7761.
The report was unanimously adopted.

ORDER OF VALOUR.

CaptainSCOl3ll4L asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury when the Order of Victoria for Valour would be
put into operation, and whether he had any objection to
the statutes and regulations under which that Order
bad been established being placed upon the table of the
house I . . . .

Lord PALMERSTON said that the navy list of
those entitled to the Order was complete, and that the
army list was nearly so. As soon as it was complete
the list would be published. He would lay on the table
the statute referred to.
INDIAN RAILWAYS.
Mr. OLIVEIRA asked the President of the Board of
iControl whether the Indian Government would extend
.the system of a guaranteed rate of interest upon further
capital proposed to be invested in railways in India be-
yond that already agreed upon ; several railway schemes
having been recently submitted to the public, upon
-which the question of a guaranteed rate of interest
upon capital was left in doubt
Mr. V. SMITH said that the Indian Government had
laid down no positive rule against any future guarantees
relative to Indian railways, but considering that they
had guaranteed 20 millions to be laid out in rail a ays
it was not advisable to extend that guarantee. It was
sincerely hoped that railways would be sufficiently re-
munerative to induce companies to embark in Indian
railways.

BRISTOL SUGAR-FEE. 20.

The transactions since our last report comprise three car-
goes of Mauritius (30,000 bags), and 1,50 boxes of Havan-
nab, all for arrival, for which extreme prices have been paid.
On the spot we have still nothing to report, there not being
a cask of sugar on sale. The market closes rather quietly,
but it is impossible to purchase on easier terms. Refiners'
produce continues a very limited supply, and the few goods
ready for delivery are eagerly taken at extreme prices. Of
rum we have not any supply.
