The Provisional Committee, after giving their anxious attention to
the a'.lo;ment of the share•, beg to announce that it is now completed.
The letters of allotment will be posted on TUESDAY next, the 30th
instant. The number of applications from Cornwall and Devon, and
the districts connected with the railway, has been so great that the
Committee have found themselves compelled, with much regret, to
reject the applications of many respectable parties, and to reduce, in
many instances, the number applied fur by those parties whose ap-
plcations have been entertained. Yy order,

The great importance of the above line of railway, not exceeding
57 miles in length, will be immediately seen by referring to the map.
It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail-
way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden-
head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at
Hampton Gay, seven miles beyond Oxford, on the route to Birming-
ham, accommodating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill, Bagshot,
Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, high Wycombe, Prince's Risborough,
Theme, licoster, and many other places at present without railway
communication.
It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War-
wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man-
chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian
Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica-
tion with Dublin.
It will also, by a short branch to Woodstock, in connexion with
the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South
Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse-
quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest
route to all Wales and Ireland.
To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con-
necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate
lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighten, and all adja-
cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis,
thereby saving much time and inconvenience.
The length of this line will not exceed 57 miles, and it will save an
average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentiOned places,
as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western
Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering
difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun-
ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does,
parks and ornamental property.
The positive distance saved by this line, as compared with the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway, will he about four miles ; but the time
saved in the journey between these places will be about thirty minutes,
in consequence of the greater speed attainable on the broad gauge,
which it is the intention of this Company to adopt.
It will be seen from the foregoing facts that the formation of this
line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de-
livery of their many marketable products by opening another and
more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much to ex-
pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also an
immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at
least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as the
construction of the line will not cost 20,000/. per mile, while the
London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,000/. per mile, upon which
enormous outlay it continues to ray 15 per cent.
Shareholders in the Grand .Junction, Great Western, South
Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre-
ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament
shall be obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four
per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which,
from the nature of the ground to be gone over, is not expected to
exceed two years.
The Company reserves the power of forming a branch to Oxford,
if found necessary.
Application for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the
following sharebrokers :—London : Mr. W. West, Capel-court ;
Mr. Benjamin Rankin, Tokenhouse-yard. Mr. M. L. Pritchard,
Liverpool ; Messrs. Gardiner and Heap, and Messrs. Green and

the above Company, and I agree to take all such shares, or so many
as may be allotted to me, and to pay the deposit thereon, and to exe-
, cute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when
required so to do.

PRESENTATION OF—PLATE.-011 Saturday night,
after the performances had concluded at the Adelphi, a very
gratifying demonstration took place on the stage, in the pre-
sentation of a splendid piece of plate to Mr. Webster, the lessee
of that establishment, the voluntary offering of the artists, au-
thors, and employees of the theatre, to a gentleman whose suc- I
cessful exertions to promote the interests of the drama have
been productive of benefit, not to himself alone, but to a vast
number of persons dependent upon the prosperity of theatrical
affairs for their sole support. The particular circumstance
which called for this tribute was, the completion of the first
season under Mr. Webster's lesseeship of the Adelphi Thea-
tre. The piece of plate, which is a beautifully executed far
simile of the celebrated 'Warwick Vase, from the atelier of
Messrs. Mortimer and Hunt, weighing 136 ounces, bears the
following inscription, expressive of the intentions and senti-
ments of the donors :—"This vase was presented to Benjamin
Webster, Esq., Lessee of the Theatre Royal Adelphi, by the
members, as a token of their regard for his unwearied exer-
tions and perseverance, and to commemorate the unprece-
dented prolongation of the season, which commenced upon the
28th day of September, 1844, and ended on the 27th day of
September, 1845." Madame Celeste, the directress-of the
Adelphi Theatre, with the members of the company, and the
subscribers to the testimonial, being assembled on the stage,
Mr. Paul Bedford, the townsman and early friend of Mr.
Webster, presented the vase to him, accompanied by an ap-
propriate speech, which was suitably acknowledged by Mr.
Webster. The concluding part of the ceremony consisted in
partaking of a cold collation, and uncorking a goodly array of
champagne bottles, and quaffing their contents to the health
of " The Lessee," " The fair Manageress," and " Prosperity to
the Adelphi Theatre," and which was not the least animated
and pleasurable part of the proceedings.
PURCHASE OF THE REGENT'S CANAL.—The Re-
gent's Canal has been purchased by a new railway company.
The purchase money is 1,000,0001., of which sum 500,000/. is
to be paid down, and the remaining 500,000/. is- to be paid
in three instalments, extending over a period of three years.
The purchase was legally ratified on '1 period of three years.
The purchase was legally ratified on '1 hursday. The result
will be most advantageous to the present shareholders in the
canal, for they will now receive 461. for each share, although,
a short time since, the shares could have been procured as
low as 13/. The Regent's Canal begins at Paddington and
terminates at Blackwell, and we shall consequently have a
railway running through the heart of London, and connect-
ing the Great Western, the London and Birmingham, and
Eastern Counties Railways.—Railway World.
HOPS.—Hop-picking has partially commenced in
the counties of Worcester and Hereford. At IVorcester fair
on Wednesday only one pocket was seen, and that was not
sold, no price being fixed for it by the grower.—Shrewsbury

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 6,000
bales, all to the trade. Shares were steady at advanced rates.
A commercial communication from New York, received by
the Caledonia to-day, by a most influential merchant of the
City, observes :—" Our affairs with Mexico still remains in
suspense, though with diminished probabilities of any col-
lision. United States Stocks have not rallied to their pre-
vious quotations." But in ,a postscript it is added—" Since
writing the preceding we find the quotations of this morning's
meeting of the Board of Brokers indicative of a general de-
cline—the market closing heavy." This is under date of
New York, the 15th September.
We find by the commercial accounts which have just come
to hand, that there is every probability of the Viscount
Abrantes succeeding in his mission of forming a treaty with
the Zollverein. if this point is gained, it must be in direct
opposition to • the best interests of England, and the more
mortifying will it be because, in the first instance, the Bra-
zilian Envoy was deputed to our Court with the offer of libe-
ral terms for the formation of a new commercial treaty. Upon
previous occasions it has been noticed by us how advantageous
such a combination would be to the manufacturing interest
of this country, but with a species of wilfulness which cannot
be easily accounted for, the policy of Sir R. Peel appears to
be to throw everything into the hands of foreigners for the
purpose of keeping np the monopoly of the West India plan-
ters. A very slight reduction in the duties upon Brazilian
sugar would have cemented the mercantile intercourse which
Las so beneficially been carried on between the two nations.
From Canada we have not much news of interest to-day.
The intention to form communications between various
parts of the colony was still very much extolled, 'and no
question a full measure of support would be given to it. The
trade of the colony was very good.
From Buenos Ayres the advises are important, and a ter-
mination of the Monte Videan blockade having been effected,
we shall hear soon of open war between England, France,
and Buenos -Ayres, or of the acquiescence of Roses in our
demands. _ _

A very heavy market has prevailed this morning for the
British Securities. Consols for Money have receded to 97,%
and fir Account to 97%. The " stalking horse" of the Bears
is, that war between this country and the United States is
rendered likely, in consequence of the collision between the
htter and Mexico. It is a tong time since the value of the
Three per Cents. was so low as it is at the promat, but it
should be remarked that not a great deal of business has
been transacted. Exchequer-bills are firm, at 465. 475.
premium. Bank Stock is at 212 for Account.
There is but one quotation in Spanish Stock to-day, 27 for
the Actives. The 'Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are
at 99-,(1,3 ; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have fallen
from 60% to 591,4 ; and the Four per Cents. for the Account
are quoted at 971/4. The Portuguese Four per Cents. are
firm at 59%; Danish at 90 ; and the Mexican at 32% lA.
This is the settlement day in the Railway Share Market,
and the greater part of the attention of the brokers, the
jobbers, and others, are directed to this important matter.
The principal transactions have been in the shares and scrip
of the minor lines, and, as far as can be ascertained at present,
matters have progressed well. The corrected list is annexed,
and by which the various fluctuations may, on perusal, be
accurately seen.

CORN EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.)
The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market do 'ring
last week, were on the increase; bet those of Barley, N'Alt,
Oats, and all other grain of home produce were on a N-ery
limited scale. Of Irish Oats, the receipts were tolerably
good; the imports ofForeign Wheat and Oats very extens.ive.
of both red and white; yet, as the attendance of London ilnd
country dealers was large, the demand for that article tans
very steady, at fully the advance obtained in the currencies:
on Illonday last, and at which a good clearance was effea:ed
by the factors. The show of fine Foreign Wheat was, com-
paratively speaking, limited. The best qualities sold briskly,
at extreme ra•es, while other kinds moved off steadily, at tjll
prices. For Corn under lock for export, the inquiry 1711,41 by"
no means so active as last week; nevertheless, the importers
would not sell, except at fully the late improvement in
the quotations. 'Very few parcels have been en-
tered for home consumption at the 17s. duty.
We had very fine parcels of English Barley offering, and then
show of Foreign was again small. Malting and grinding sorts`
sold freely, at very full prices; but distilling kinds were a
slow sale. The best kinds of Malt, which were scarce, wars
in improved request, and last week's rates were well sup-
ported. The middling and inferior sorts were in sluggish
request. Notwithstanding the immense arrivals of Foreign
Oats, a good business was doing in descriptions, and Isue
rates were sustained in every instance. A few parcels cot
Foreign Beans were taken for shipment. The desnettit
for most kinds of English was firm, at the improvement
value noticed last week. White Peas were dearer; but Grey
and Maple were a slow sale, but not cheaper. Flour moro.t
off slowly, at unaltered currencies. In Seeds very few sales
were reported.

SMITHFIELD.
The past week's importations of live Stock into London
have been again extensive—they having amounted to 61
Oxen from Hamburgh ; 190 Oxen and Cows, together with
477 Sheep .and 19 Calves, from Rotterdam, the whole oe
which have come to hand in good saleable condition. Ws
had on offer 71 Oxen and Cows, and 150 Sheep, which
moved off steadily, at previous quotations. The supply
home-fed Beasts was very extensive, even the time of yiegir
considered; yet their general quality was by no means
first-rate. The attendance of butchers being some-
what numerous, the primest Scots, Herefords, Devon.%
he., commanded a ready sale, at fttllv, but at nothing
quotable beyond, the currencies obtained last week, viz.,
from 3s 8d to 4s per Blbs. In the middling and inferior
breeds of Beasts, only a limited business was transacted, yet
prices were supportetL From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and our other northern grazing districts, we received 2,200
short. horns; from the Eastern Counties 300 Scots, homebreds
and short-horns ; from the west.rn and midland districts
500 Herefords, Devons, runts, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 350 of various kinds ; from Scot-
land, 130 Scots ; and from Ireland, 90 Beasts.
The arrivals of Sheep still fall considerably short of those at
the same time in 1844, owing to which the Mutton trade, to-
day, was very steady, particularly for long wools, and pre.,
viotts rates were obtained by the salesmen without difficulty.
Lamb being now quite out of season, we have discontinued to
quote it. The Veal trade was rather slow, and,
.in some ilk-
stances, prices had a downward tendency. Pigs were a brisk
sale, at higher prices.

NXIVICATE AND LEADENZIASE,

From all distant parts very moderate bu pplies of slaugh-
tered meat have come to hand since this day se'nnight, the
time of year considered. With meat killed in the metropo-

lis, except Pork, we have been fairly supplied; vet the ge-
neral demand has ruled steady. *Pork, from its extreme
scarcity, is selling at much higher rates, while the value of
Beef, Mutton, Lamb, and Veal is supported. About 80 car-
cases of Beasts, and 200 ditto of Mutton, imported trans
Holland, have sold at fair currencies.

At per stone, by the Carcase.

BOROUGH rcop MARKET.

The total quantity of hops of the present year's growth
already received here, is about 2,300 pockets, and for whicii
the demand is firm. Weald of Bents are producing frogs
61 108 to 71; and Sussex, 6/ Gs to 6/ 14s per cwt. The duty
is now 165,000/.
BORAYUGIFE AND SPITAMVIESDS.
These markets still continue to be well supplied with
Potatoes in middling condition. Ordinary samples are sell-
ing at 31 158, the hest parcels commanding higher rates..

WOOL.
The past week's importations of Wool have been extemitre*
viz.-1,200 bales from New South Wales, 18 ditto ftorn
Oporto, 263 ditto from Trieste, 137 ditto from Mogador, 40
ditto from Buenos Ayres, 2,600 ditto from Bombay, 263 ditt•
from Seville, 200 ditto from liamburgh, 58 ditto from Leg-
horn, 6 ditto from Malta, and 10 ditto from Kutche. Owing
to time approaching large public rales, very little is doing in
the private contract market, yet the quotations are generally
supported.

ELECTION OF Lc/RD MAYOR.
(THIS DAY.) _ _

This being Michaelmas day, agreeably to the Charter ot
the City of London, and also to annual custom, a Common
Hall was held in the Guildhall, for the purpose of enabling
the Livery of London'to exercise their undoubted rights mid
privileges in electing a Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year.
Of late years the election of a Lord Mayor: of London has
been considered a subject of great interest among the
Livery, and not that common-place routine proceeding
which it formerly used to be. The severe but unsuccesefu
contest cf Mr. Harmer for the Civic Chair, and
the untiring determination of Alderman Thomas
Wood to present himself annually as a candidate for the office
of chief magistrate of the first city in the world, which his
brethren of the Livery had always accorded to him by a show
of hands, but whose wishes the Court of Aldermen, in the
plenitude of their judgment, had not thought it right to ac-
cede to, have in no small degree increased that interest, and
strengthened the determination of the Livery to persevere in
returning to the Court of Alderman a gentleman whom they
were convinced was in every respect well qualified to Jai
the office, and who bad only been prevented from doing so
by the unjust scruples entertained by the Court of Alder-
men. The intention of Alderman Thomas Wood again
to ask the suffrages of the Livery having been an-
nounced, all was excitement and bustle at the
Guildhall to-day. At an early hour the neighbourhood of
King-street and the Guildhall prevented a good show of pla-
cards calling upon the Livery to elect Alderman Thomas
Wood and Alderman Johnson to the civic chair, but those ot
the former preponderated considerably. Shortly before 12
o'clock the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and sheriffs assembled
in the Council Chamber, and from thence proceeded in state
to the church of St. Lawrence Jury, where a most excellent
sermon was preached by the Lord Mayor's chaplain,
Michael Gibbs, M.A., of Christ Chuch, from the 23d cha p tor
3d verse, "He
of the 2d book of Samuel, and the the Rev.
that ruleth
over men must be just."

The Commas SERGEANT, in the absence of the Recorder,
then came forward, and said, that in consequence of the un-
fortunate absence of the Recorder, occasioned by an over-
whelming calamity, it was his duty to tell the Livery that
they were convened for the exercise of the valuable privilege
—(Cries of " Bravo) of electing a chief magistrate the
the year ensuing. The Livery had the power of nominating
two persona to be returned to the Court of Alderman wle
had served the office of sheriff ' • the name of those
Aldermen who had not passed the chair would all
be put up for their choice, and they could showy
any two of them, provided they had filled the office of sherill
That the election of the. Livery would fall upon the ro cal
eligible person, he had no doubt, from the former choice they
had made, and in order that their election should be free anti
unbiassed, the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, in company wista
the Sheriffs, would retire from the Hall.
A. lAVERYMAN—WiII the Court of Aldeimen elect the
person who is the choice of the Livery ?—tffat is all we re-
quire.—(Great cheering.)
Mr. Alderman Noon then came forward amid cheering
from all parts of the Hall, and when silence was somewhat
es:ored, he spoke evidently under considerable agitation. Ile
said,—Gentlemen, I am aware that it is not customary:for Kt
Alderman, before the chair, to address you at so early a stage
of the meeting as this. But 1 have done so before, and 1
mean to follow the, same course to-day. 1 shall, howat'er,
only address a few words to you on this occasion.— (Cheers.)
-1 ant in the rotation under circumstances very differout
from former years, and however my claims might
had suffered or my motives been maligned—however
much I might have been made the dupe of others in all
these relations, I think I have a warrantry to
say, by the respectable assemblage I sec present
to support me, that your confidence is not diminished, and
that you will exhibit your sense of fair play and justice by
returning me to the office I so highly covet.—( Cries of
aWe will," and cheering.) • I would not have
addressed you at all but for certain slanderous
reports that have been circulated in the course of the
morning that I am so embarrassed by. writs that no truil.
1 of any respectability can be reposed In me•—(Shame: and
