GREAT LEINSTER and MUNSTER

RAILWAY.

A meeting of a few of the Shareholders of this Company
was held on Saturday at theLondonTavern, Bishopsgate-street-
Mr. LATOUCH was called to the chair shortly after one
o'clock, when there were but very few Shareholders present:
Mr. Smut apologised for the negligence of one of his
clerks, in not sending circulars to all the Shareholders ; and
read a report of the last meeting and a minute of the pro-
ceedings adopted at the meeting of the Wexford, Carlow,
and Dublin Junction Railway Committee, which was to thee
effect that a report had been received from the Committee
the Great Leinster and Munster Railway, which reconl-
mended the issue of 6,000 shares for the undertaking. d
Mr. SHAW said that he understood that the Dublin a°
Cashel Junction Line was to cross the Barrow at Carlow;
Mr. SauTH said, in answer to a Shareholder, that the IN e%_
ford and Carlow shares were now at a premium of 2/. per
sha e. The Directors of the Carlow and hilkenny line would
have no powers but those they derive under the old Bill;
but all the papers would be referred to the solicitors, in order
that every necessary precaution should be taken. He believed
the title of the new scrip would be the Carlow and Kilkenny
Line; and that, on the payment of V. 10s.,each Shareholder
would get anotherscrip; and it was intended, in the next ses-
sion, to apply for a Bill to consolidate the Carlow and Kil-
kenny Line with that of Wexford.
Mr. WiLsos—The question for this Company was, would
such a proposition be advisable ? He did not see why it
would not.
Mr. SMITP. believed there could be no doubt but that the
Wexford would be a profitable line. When the consolida-
tion should. take place, then the Directors of the Kilkenny
line would become Directors of the Wexford and Carlow
line.
Mr. ROBERTSON suggested that this meeting should be ad-
journed until some negotiation had taken place between the
two parties.
Mr. WILSON concurred in the suggestion, as he did not
think anything decisive should emanate from so thin a
meeting.
The Shareholders agreelto the proposition, and adjourned
to Saturday next.

A cortespondent assures us that her Ma;esty has
entirely set her face against the polka, and has given instruc-
tions that it should not be again danced in her presence.--

PUBLIC DINNER TO SIR HENRY POTTINGER AT
GLAsoow.—On Wednesday the corporation, the Trades-hones
the Chamber of Commerce, and the East India Association Of
Glasgow, gave a grand dinner to Sir Henry Pottinger. The CO't.
pany was very numerous, and the speeches highly complimentary
to the Right Hon. Baronet. The Hon. the Lord Provost acted
as chairman, and Lord Dean, of Guild Leadbetter, Deacon Con-
vener Browtilie, William Sterling, Esq., of Kenmure, Chairman Of
the Chamber of Commerce, and Henry Dunlop, Esq., Chairman of
the East India Association, officiated as croupiers. Sir George
Larpent was also present as a guest.
SUPPRESSION OF GAMBLING BOOTHS AT ASCOT
RACES.—The entire suppression of the gambling booths at the
races at Ascot, having caused a considerable diminution in the
race fund, in consequence of the loss sustained by the ground they
occupied (and which realised a large sum paid for its hire) being
no longer required, it has been determined by the Committee to let
out the best situation on the course, in the immediate vicinity of
the grand stand, for the erection of an extensive bazaar, to be ap-
propriated exclusively to the sale of fancy goods during the races.
DETERMINED SUICIDE AT lIAMMERSMITH.—On
Wednesdly night Mrs. Emma Peasgood, the wife of the
landlord of the Britannia public-house at the corner of the
Fulham-road, near Hammersmith church, was found in her
bed-room quite dead, suspended from the bedstead by a stay-
lace. Various reports are in circulation relative to the or"
curn6tances and the causes whici led the unfortunate wornall,
who was not thirty years of age, to destroy herself.
I.IIE RIGHT OF SEARCH.—The Duke de Broglie
has raised a very strong objection on the above question
dui big his late conference with Dr. Lushingtnn. That noble-
man says he thinks Sir H. Peel ought to be satisfied with
one privilege, of search instead of two ; and that, as the
Premier has established a new sight of search by diving into
the people's pocks is for the income-tax at home,
afford to wave the old privilege respecting foreigners.—The
Great Gun. he can well

MILITARY FOOT-RACES AT WINDSOR.—On Thurs-
day afternoon an immense number of persons, including
several of the nobility and gentry, and the officers of the
two regiments in gar: icon at Windsor, were assembled in the
Long-,.-ulk, to witness bevel al foot-races between the privates
of the Coldstream Guards, got up by the officers of the reg.i"
meet, by whom the prizes were subscribed tor, and distri-
buted. Twenty-three started for the first race, the distance
being two hundred yards, which was accomplished by the
winner (Pearson) in lees than twenty seconds. A match
was then run by Lord F. Paulet's horse, rode by its owner,
against Lieutenant Somerset, on foot; the distance being
one hundred yards, fifty out and in, which was won by
Lieu:,; ant Somerset. Colonel 11. Bentmck then rode his
li,r:;e over the same ground, against the same officer, the
horse winning easily.. Lieutenant Somerset then mounted
Lord F. Paulet's horse, and ran against his Lordship, who
was on foot and beat him by ten yards. Several other
snatches were afterwards run by the privates; the winners
receiving prizes varying from a sovereign to five shillings-
A grand trial of skill will shortly take place between a cer-
tain number of the crack ietiestrians in each of the regi-
ments stetio:.ed at Windsor.
AFFAIR OF 110Ntrtia.— A boitile meeting took
place yesterday morning, between the Hon. Dominic Daly, Provin-
cial Secretary, and the Hon. T. C. Aylwyn ; the former attended
by S. Derbisbire, Esq., and the latter by Dr. Tache, M. PP. Dir.
Dminic Da'y was resolved that the session should not terminate
without his doing something to rescue himself from the contempt
into which he has fallen. He, on Tuesday night, used language to
Mr. Aylwyn publicly in the House, which no duellist could avoid
noticing in the mannrr that was desired. We quote the Courier's
report, and would merely add that some of Mr. Daly's supporter:,
cried oat very audibly across the floor, " Tr,ke that ; take al': .
—Mr. Aylevyn—" I hr.ve read Mr. Bull's pamphlet, given me by
the Mem! ar for Megant,c." Mr. Daly—" I have no recollection
of it." Mr. Aylwyn—" Yrs. you did." Mr. Daly—" Ido not
believe it." Mr. Ay iwyn )—" I say you did." Mr Daly--
" Sir, it is false." Mr. Aylwyn—" What do you say Mr.
Datl
—" I ray that it is false." Mr. Aylwyn sat down. immediate
steps were taken to arrange a meeting, which fortunately terminated
without bloodshed, after an exchange of shots. It is singular
enough that while in England her Majesty is giving proof almos
..
daily of her deep anxiety to suppress the barbarous custom of duel
lirg, whets by the very last mail we have accounts of a surgeon
being dismissed, and in ensign put at the foes of the list for being
implicated in an Whir of this kind, a member of the Canadian Go'
vernmeut should set such an example to the people.—Pflot, go"
