Os Thursday a most numerous meeting of the inhabitant
rate-payers of the district parish of St. John, Notting-hill,
ton, of the newly.-erected.churches in the parish of Kensing-
was held.
pursuant to public. notice, in the Vestry-room
of St. John's Church, for the purpose of making a church-
rate fir warming and lighting the church, for payment of
other
the organist, beadles, arid pew-openers' salaries, and for such
expeniee as are necessary for carrying on and main-
taining (Urine service therein. Also for electing an organist
and beadle to the said church. •
The Rev. Mr.. Ho'dstierth, the incumbent of St. John's,
having taken the chair:it was foam' that the meeting was so
numerously attended by the influential inhabi4ats of the
district, that the Vestry-room would not hold *third part,
and an adjournment was accordingly male to one of the
newly-erected mansions in Lansdewne-terrace, the largest
room in which was crowded to excess, the greatest excite-
ment having for some days past existed amongst the rate-
paLera on the subject of church- rates. -
Mr. ROY, of the firm of Roy, Blunt, and Company, soh
citors, who is the incumbent's churchwarden, opened the
business of the meeting by moving " That a rate of twopence
in the pound be made forthwith towards the repairs of the
church of the said parish, the expenses incidental tr• the
defraying
maintaining diYine service therein. and for and towards the
and indemnifying the* churchwardens of the said
Parish, and for all other necessary costs and expenses, they
map be at or put- unto touching and concerning the said
office of churchwardens." -
Mr. Gana: uto seeonded the motion.
Captain Boon, R. then came forward, amidst loud
cheering, and
proposed the following amendment:—" A rate
for the district, parish of St. John's, Notting-hill, being con-
rary to the interest of the parishioners, and inexpedient, it
is hereby resolved, that the rate proposed be not agreed to,
as the church was built, in part, by subscriptions raised on

most providential de.iverance. At twelve A.M. Captain Hosken
came below, and informed us that he could not undertake to
convey the passengers to New York unless he put into some
port for a siipply of coals, and he had consulted with the
pilot, who had recommended Holme's Hole as a place where
many 'coal vessels put in, taking coals to Boston. We had
only sixteen hours' coal on board (and that inust he at half
speed), whereas at that rate we could not, make New. York
under two days; if we were to Lo at full speed, we should
burn them up in a few hours. For Holme's Hole the ship
was steed, and we anchored here at fuur P.m. Captain
Hosken went ashore and succeeded in purchasing a cargo,
which we are now taking in about ihree miles from the
village. My opinion of the Groat.. Britaio is, that a finer

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales,
without any alteration in prices. Shares were dull, but
better in some respects.
The advices received from the United States are uniform
in their expression that railways there, as here, are the order
of the day. This is too important a topic to let any well-
considered opinions go without notice. The New Toth
Herald states : _ _

" During the period of the most extensive speculation this
country ever experienced, the people of New England invested
millions of dollars in railroads, and we are disposed to believe
I that it was the drain of capital from many of those who be-
► came at that time interest,d in these works, that preve:lad
the various speculative movements of the day from spreading
the ruin and desolation in that section which fell upon every
other portion of the land. The large investments in the roads,
then.in_a_state of complet ion, contracted the resources of those
interested, and prevented their engaging in the pecula-
tive bubbles - of the day, which soon after exploded,
leaving but a wreck behind. The railroad speculation
of th,at,period was looked upon as the snail in the fable,
the moral of which has. however, been fully exempli-
l'fied.. -The railroad speculation of the present day will,
without doubt, be even more beneSial in its effects than
the-last, as it has become more general, and must operate
as a greater check. upon any expansion in commercial
affairs. The immense cost of the railroads of Great Bri-
tain has required a much greater expenditure in propor-
tion to the length of road constructed, than in this country.
It will-hardly be credited that two roads,- leading from the
centre of London, in lent th only three and three quarter
miles, cost-about 11,000,000 dols. The London and Black-
wall, 1,289,0801., and the London and Greenwich, 1,026,1001.,
or over• 1,500,000 dols. per mile. These two roads,
constructed at this ' enormous expense, enter a city
having a population only about five times larger
than that of this city, and pay handsome dividend.,
while New York has a railroad running the entire length of
the island, about nine miles long, and costing for the whole
line no more than one mile of the London and Blackwall
Railway, that has never yet paid a dividend. The railroads
throughout Great Britain cost about three times as much per
mile as those of this country. and are kept in running opera,
tion at nearly three times the expense, notwithstanding
which, they pay a better average rate of dividend than those
of the United States."

A reference to the Bank of England averages for the past
week to Oct. '25, makes us acquainted with the fact of a
further diminution having occurred in the amount of notes
issued to the extent of 383,2651.; but then the notes in
the banking department having :been reduced by 135,9351.,
the circulation is• only affected by,, the extent of the
difference between these two items: The Rest
has ,increased by 23,1921., and the iinblic deposits have been
diminished by 161,7571. The other deposits have been
lessened by 995.4704 The seven day and other bills are less
'by, 33,3711., and the other securities show the further marked
decrease of 1,118,4141. The Bullion is 189,022/Jess, amount-
ing to 14,001,263/.

The Funds hare been less steady, and there is but a small
