ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

ARRIVAL OF THE EXPERIMENTAL FLEET AT PLYMOUTH.—The
eight line-of-battle ships, composing the experimental squadron
under the command of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., with that
Gallant Officer's Flag flying on board the St. Vincent, 120, Captain
Rowley, arrived in Plymouth Sound during Friday night from Cork.
On Saturday morning several of the ships reported defects, which will
be immediately attended to by the dockyard.
The St. Vincent led in about 2.30 a.m., on Saturday morning, fol-
lowed by the other ships of the fleet, and the Rattler and Stromboli
steam sloops. About eight o'clock the St. Vincent saluted the port
admiral's flag, and the Neapolitan frigate, the Urania, 44, Captain
Lettieri, saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Parker.
The fleet left Cork harbour on Thursday afternoon, at which time
there was both rain and fog. The order for sailing was sudden, and
most unexpected, so much so that several officers were left behind in
Cork, and will have to join their several ships at Plymouth.
On Tuesday a splendid dejeuner was given by the officers of the
Queen to about 300 of the gentry of Cork and neighbourhood. Dancing
was kept up on the middle deck until eleven o'clock, when the
guests departed most highly gratified with their entertainment.
Rear-Admiral Parker is still very unwell in his cot, on board the
St. Vincent. He will strike his flag at Devonport, and Rear-Admiral
Sir Samuel Pyin, K.C.13., the superintendent of the dockyard, will
hoist his flag on board the St. Vincent, and assume the command.
Sir Samuel Pyin was appointed to the command-in-chief by the
Admiralty on Friday. Mr. Lumsdale, the master attendant, will
perform the duties in the dockyard during the absence of the Admiral
superintendent, and Captain Manly Hall Dixon, of the Caledonia,
120, will command the ordinary.

The flag of the commander-in-chief, at Devonport, Admiral Sir
John West, K.C.8., has been shifted to the Queen, 110, Captain Sir
Baldwin Walker, which vessel will ultimately be his flag-ship at that
port. The Queen is to lire the morning and evening gun 'while at
Plymouth Sound.

GUILDFORD JUNCTION RAIL

WAY COMPANY.

A special meeting of the Proprietors in this Company was
held yesterday in the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of receiving
the sanction of the Shareholders to the transfer of the Line to the
South-Western Company.
R. S. Mangles, Esq. M.P., was in the chair.
The SECRETARY having read the advertisement calling the meeting,

the Shareholders to the transfer, they having already received the
authority of the Act of Parlianaent for that purpose. The Chairman
then proposed a resolution to the above effect.
Mr. MORE seconded the resolution, which wits accordingly passed.
The CHAIRMAN then said that as the formal part of the business
was over, he might inform the meeting that the sum to be received
from the South-Western, would be paid over before the Ist October—
(Hear, hear)—and from the estimate which had been made of the
money expended, he might promise them not only the 35/. per share
paid up, but 3/. of a surplus.
Mr. SELLS thought that sonic remuneration either of a pecuniary or
complimentary character should be given to the Directors for the
time they had devoted, and the attention they had shown to the
affairs of the Company.
After a few words from Mr. Rene,
The CHAIRMAN intimated that as another meeting would be neces-
sary, the subject might then be taken into consideration.
The meeting then broke up. _ .

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were 4,000
bales, at about previous rates.—The quotations for Railway
Shares are given in another column.
The accounts received from most parts of the country this
morning relative to the progress of the harvest, and the con-
dition of the crops in those districts where the sickle has not
been brought into operation, were read with some anxiety, as
the weather in most parts has been, since this day week, ex-
tremely variable. The short crop of old wheat on
the Continent, the bad state of the potato crops,
and the advancing prices, have led to the ap-
prehension that the Bank Directors may be com-
pelled to place the screw on the circulation, the effect of
which would be to produce a depression in shares as well as
the iublic securities generally. The_ purchase of foreign
