LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.
:From the Circular of Wills and Co., Stock and ghattbrtdtersj

Liverpool.)
An agreement has just been concluded between the Direc-
tors of the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction
Companies, whereby every 1001. paid up capital of the
Grand Junction and Liverpool and Manchester Companies
is to be Considered. as 1201.
,paid up capital in the
amalgamated Grand Junction and London and Birmingham
Companies. The Grand Junction Company has able the
privilege of creating new quarter shares, which are to par-
ticipate in the above arrangement. The effect of this an-
nouticement on our Stock Exchange was to raise the shares
in the Grand Junetion Company from 2401. to 260!., and in
the Livekpool and MentheSki' Campy iny froth 212/, to 2201.,
and to depress, rather than increase, the value of tile gliares
in the London and Birmingham Company. It remains to
be seen whether the London and Birmingham Proprietors
will sanction an arrangement which has manifestly had the
effect or apfaiMilig fh9 market value of their property.
Such a union of interests we have always strentionely advo-
cated, and trust that it will be satisfactorily carried out, in a
fair and houourable way. Under all circumstances it will
prove a serious blow to most of the new schemes, projected
for the purpose of supplying direct communication between
LOndon and .Liverpool, The Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhamptnit Shares, which Weld Pretiously greatly reduced
in value owing partly to the call of 101. per share, haVe been
still further affected by this combination of these powerful
companies, and those shares which three weeks since were
quoted at 201. are barely saleable to-day at 9/.
The immense amount of business which has been doing
tai the ligt feW Months Di the shares of embryo railway
companies, has at length, as might hate been expected, in-
volved in considerable difficulties the great body of specu-
lators. The reaction came at last mere suddenly, and more
violently, than was anticipated even by the most cautious,
and indeed there does not appear to be any really adequate
cants for the present extraordinatTpanic. -
The corn harvest has been generally tecured in fair con-
dition,—the injury said to be sustained by the potato crop is,
we have every reason to believe, greatly exaggerated,—the
commerce of the country is in a most flourishing condition—
find ate fit peace with all the world: with so many ele-
ments of prosperity abounding, the iftiprnvement of the solid
resources of the nation, notwithstanding these temporary
cheeks to its progress, must go on with accelerated impulse.
There is, theKibre; no just cause of permanent alarm. The
evils which have arisen from Intirdinate speculation in rail-
way shares will speedily effect their own reniefket and the
business of the Stock-Exchange be placed henceforth on a
more secure basis than ever.
The frightful mates Which have been incurred during the
last fortinght, will prove a useful lesson to all ; and the
elle& which has been given to mere bubble projects, will
etentuallY benefit not only the Old companies, but those also
which have already obtained their Acts, together with such
legitimate schemes of railway extension, as are really called
for by the necessities of the public.
Wir. art persnade,cl that the panic has nearly exhausted
itself, and that it will grass tiWny entirely, without inflicting
any irremediable injury oh the coinitintilty at large.
td the hetiefits tb be conferred upon the country by the
gradual formation of railwriya, there can be but one opinion;
and five repeat what we have so frequently asserted, that
tHertt will be nalark of means for the construction of such
lines as shall be sanctioned liegiOatttre:
Our own decided conviction is that the pres Ont is the time
to buy, and not to sal—and we have always aditistd our
fristnda to buy during a panic, and—unless purchases are
made ptirely for iftvestriient-7when prices are rapidly ad-
tB rtalfse; without veaititbs for the highest point.

TILE RAILWAY SHARE MARKET.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM
think that during the present temporary panic in the
kiliv hate /shad, it would be wise for Directors in all pro-

allotments for a time, certainly WI this ttepichiOn it oter:
By issuing shares in new lines now it will not nit cease still
greater and more alarming depression in already existing railroads,

Let timid speculators who hold scrip hold a little IbliSeti and
not force the markets, and all will yet be well.

A CONSTANT READER.

THE MAILS.— SOUTHAMPTON, OCTOBER 26.—The
Oriental Company's steam-packet the Pacha, Captain Burney,
arrived in docks yesterday at 4 o'clock P.M., and landed the
Gibraltar, Peninsular, and other mails, but which were net for-
warded to London until the 2 a.m. train this morning, while had
the mails been sent up by a special train they would have been
enabled to have leR London for the north, &c., by the last night
mails from London. The Pacha left Gibraltar the 17th instant;
_ _ _

Cadiz, 18th; Lisbon, 20th; Oporto, 21st; Vigo, 22d; Corunna,
22d. She has 26 passengers, a full cargo of fruit, and five oxen.
The Royal Tar, Captain Evans, will leave this port to-morrow for
Gibraltar, &c., with the Peninsular and other mails.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning an acci-
dent occurred on the Croydon Atmospheric Railway, which has
unfortunately been attended with the loss of life. It appears that
between twelve and one o'clock in the morning a train of ballast
waggons, propelled by a locomotive engine, was employed in re-
moving loose earth from one part of the line to the other, and
when the engineer had proceeded nearly to Sydenham he felt a sud-
den shock as if the engine had run over something. As soon as
he had deposited his loads of ballast he returned to the spot to
ascertain the cause, and then discovered the body of a man lying
across the rails in such a position, that if he had not observed
him in time and reversed the engine the wheels must inevi-

placed him upon the engine, and conveyed him without loss
of time to the terminus at London-bridge, and from thence to Guy's
Hospital. Mr. Hood, the house surgeon, was promptly in attend-
Matt, and, upon examination, it was found that his right leg and
foot were Completely smashed, and that his back had been severely
lacerated by the buffer of the engine, and he died in about an hour
after his admission to the hospital. His name is at present unknown.
He was dressed in the garb of a labourer, and apparently about 38
yearg of age. His face was rather disfigured by his nose having
been previously broken, and he wore a green shade over his left
eye. It is not known how he came upon the railway, but it is
supposed he had either strayed, or had trespassed to make a short
cut to Sydenham, and that hearing the approach of an engine he
bad got on to the atmospheric line cf rail, thinking that no train
ran thereon at night, and that he would be safe. His precautiow,
however, was the means of his death. This was the second time=
only that the ballast-train had run on that line at night.
THE MARYLEBONB VESTRY AND THE REGENT'S
CANAL.—At a meeting of the Marylebone vestry on Friday, a
letter was read which had been received from the secretary to the
new railway company formed for the purpose of converting the
Regent's Canal into a railway, requesting from the vestry permis.
sion to inspect the books of the parish, in order that the railway
company might obtain such information as would be necessary to
tillable them to comply with the standing orders of the Houses of
Parliament, Several members of the vestry spoke in very indig-
nant terms against the request contained in this letter. Every
member of the vestry could have free access to the books if it were
required, but they did not understand why any such information
iliOnit4 be given to mere strangers. A motion was then made
that the request should be refused, which was carried unani-
mously.

VISIT OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO BRIGH-
TON AND NEIVIIATEN.—The Duke of Wellington arrived in
Brighton on Thursday afternoon at four o'clock, by tile railway train
which leaves London at two. His Grace immediately proceeded
to the Bristol Hotel, where he dined and slept, and the following
morning left at nine o'clock for Newhaven. His Grace rode in a
Eatiiase, ss. .trxrun few the purpose of in-
erecting portions of the coest between this town and Newhaven,
which was the purpose of his visit. After having taken cogni-
sance of Newhaven, and its capabilities of being made to afford
protection for armed steamers, the Duke returned at half-past
twelve, and remained there until half-past two. He then went
out on horseback, attended by a domestic ; rode down the Marine.
parade, along the Steyne and Grand Parade to the north, and it
was generally expected that his grace would proceed to the Cavalry
Barracks. However he did not, but returned to his hotel, and remained
there last night. Preparations were made at the Battery In expec-
tation that his grace would inpect it yesterday; but it is under.
stood that his visit is reserved for this morning. His grace will
leave Brighton this afternoon by the railway train which leaves at
a quarter before two, and will proceed to Dover. These visits of
his gra& to the southern coast are, to say the least of them, very
significant, and public attention is now fully aroused to the nature
of our position in case a war should break out, which—depending,
as matters in Franca do, upon the frail tenure of an old man's life—

INQUEST ON TEM BODY OF THE LATE MR. 80-i- ,
TELER AT OULSTON, NEAR TIIR WOODLESFORD STATION.-^-The
death of Mr. Boteler, which occurred on Thursday morning at
half past eight o'clock, threw a gloom over the populous neigh
bourhoods of Doncaster, Leeds, and other towns in which the
learned gentleman had a large circle of friends. Imme-
diately on the fatal event taking place an express was
sent to Mr. Bill, the secretary of the Midland Railway, who lost
no time in apprising General Palley of the melancholy fact.

cident, who had on Wednesday last appeared before the magis.

their solicitor, witnesses, &c., proceeded to Woodlesford by special
train to attend at the inquest. Upon the jury being impanneled,
