BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER
RAILWAY.

BRISTOL, FRIDAY.—The half-yearly meeting of the Bristol
and Gloucester Railway was held to-day, at the White Lion,
George Jones, Esq., the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
in the chair. The attendance of Proprietors was large.
After the CHAIRMAN had adverted to the circumstances
connected with the proposal to lease the line to the Midland
Counties Railway, and other circumstances,
The Secretary, Mr. Fletcher, read the report, which en-
tered with considerable minuteness into the proceedings of
the Company during the past six months. From the fre-
quent cheers which the statements elicited during the read-
ing, it was evident that the Proprietors were of opinion that
the Directors had done their utmost for the benefit of the
Company.
The surplus balance being 7,853/., the Directors recom-
mended a dividend of four per cent. per annum, being 20s. for
the 501. shares, and 12s. for the 301. for the half-year, to be
paid free of income-tax.
This was unanimously agreed to. A balance of 2,974/.145. 4d.
remains to be applied to contingencies.
Mr. A. W. Daniel was re-elected a Director. The number
of Directors will now be reduced to ten, but the form of
keeping up the Board must be adhered to till the Act for
ratifying the amalgamation of the Company with the Bir-
mingham and Gloucester be obtained. In the meantime the
united companies will be managed as provided for by the
terms of amalgamation recently agreed to.
The business of the lease to the Midland Counties was
then entered upon by the reading of the terms of agreement.
The Cirairim.tm, after a few explanatory statements, calcu-
lated to show that the lease was mutually beneficial to the
contracting parties, moved a resolution sanctioning the agree -
ment, and authorising the Directors to adopt the necessary
measures for carrying it into effect.
Mr. Acura, banker, suggested that an opinion in favour of
non-Sunday travelling, as far as practicable, be expressed to
the Midland Counties Company.
This view was supported by several shareholders, but the
matter was left to the Directors.
The agreement as to the lease was then put and unani-
mously agreed to.
Votes of thanks closed the proceedings.

Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Provost and
Town Council of Montrc.se, stating that the banking
system pursued in Scotland for the last century was
most beneficial and advantageous to commerce and agri-
culture, and praying that no alteration might be made
in it.

CorroN.—Owing to the extensive sales at Liverpool there
has also been more business doing here at advanced rates;
but the London market for this staple is insignificant com-
pared to that at the oatport, from which it entirely takes its
tone. _ _ _

TEA.—There have been public sales of 8,970 packages of
China, and 1,223 of Assam. Of the former about 6,000 sold,
Pouchong and Hyson being Id cheaper, and Congou and
other qualities at about previous rates. The Assam sold

SOUTHWARK-(THIS DAY.)

-
ELECTIONEERING.—Patrick Began, an Irishman, was
charged with creating a disturbance, and assaulting policeman
92 M.
The policeman stated, that being on duty in Tooley-street
the preceding night, he heard the prisoner vociferating Pd-
cher for ever, and d—n those who don't vete for him " He
was drunk at the time, and created a good deal of disturbance.
When desired to go home, he refused, and kicked the policeman
in the shins, and he!. aved otherwise with considerable
violence, so that it was I.sith difficulty he was at length
conveyed to the station. house.
Mr. TRAILL asked the prisoner why he behavea with such
violence, and whether he was one of Dlr. Pitcher's sup-

porters ?
Prisoner--I was engaged in keeping the door where the
meeting was held, and having taken a drop too much on my
way home, I don't know exactly what I did, but don't recollect
kicking the man's thins.
Ev,dence having be en adduced that the prisoner had on other
occasions acted with great violence towards the police, he was
committed for a month.

MAGAZINES-(CONTINUED).
THE BANKER'S MAGAZINE.
Two of the best papers in this number are those on
the " Proposed Fund for Bankers' Clerks" and one on
"Deposit Assurance Companits." In the former the
able editor gives us an opportunity of appreciating the
very extensive and benevolent, though unostentatious,
efforts he has set on foot in favour of the contemplated
fund, and he gives us some valuable answers elicited by
the circular he had addressed to the principal banking-
houses and monetary establishments, calling f,r the ir
opinion on the project. In the latter we find that he is
favourable to the important plan of life assurance de-
posits, but has some doubts as to the possibility, of a
company founded on this principle being able to recon-
cile the interests of the assurers with a due regard to
those of its own holy. There is also a capital paper on
savings' banks. The mag4zino maintains its very posAer-
ful claims on the confidence and consideration of the
public.

ELY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a RAILWAY from the City of ELY to the Town of BURY ST.
EDMUNDS.

The Line will commence :by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern
Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
will terminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury
Railway.

Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of
Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester,
and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica-
tion with the manufacturing districts.
The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of
that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass-
ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge—
will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route
to that City by way of Cambridge.
A detailed l'rospectus will be issued immediately.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE

The present week's arrivals of Wheat of home produce,
coastwise, as well as by land carriage, and samples have been
seasonably extensive, viz., 5,910 quarters, about a moiety of
which has been produced this year. The quality of the new
Wheat on show to-day was very good, while the prices eb-
tained varied from 48s to 60s per quarter. A few of the
parcels weighed 641bs. per bushel The supply of old English
Wheat not being large, and the attendance of buyers some-
what on the increase, the demand for that article was steady,
at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday. In new
Wheat only a moderate business was doing on that day's de-
pressed currencies, and at which a clearance was not effected.
A large quantity of Foreign Wheat has been received this
week, the total import having rather exceeded 15,000 quar-
ters. Selected qualities moved off steadily, other kinds
slowly, at previous figures. The duty has now fallen to 17s
per quarter, but, as yet, very few parcels have been entered
for home consumption. In Corn under lock very little was
doing, yet holders would not submit to lower terms. Very
little Barley was on show. Grinding parcels were
in request, at full prices. In other kinds comb
paratively little was doing. The supply of Malt
being on the increase, that article ruled dull,
and where sales were pressed, a slight decline in value was
submitted to. From Ireland no Oats have reached us this
week ; yet the supply of fine foreign was good. Thg Oat
trade was again dull, at barely stationary prices. Beans
were in moderate request, at unaltered figures. There was
rather more doing in Peas; but Flour experienced a very dull
inquiry.

THE HERRING TRADE.

_
The fishing during the past week has been much re-
tarded by rough weather; but as there are splendid ap-
pearances of fish on the coast, there is still a hope che-
rished of the fishermen being able to make up their
leeway. The John o'Groat Journal states, that the
total average at Wick for the season is 90 crans, or eight
behind that of the last year at the same date. As yet
the fishing along the whole of the Scotch coast is con-
siderably under an average one, particularly on the
shores of the Moray Frith, where the prevalence of
northerly winds has been muck against its prosecution.
Much, however, may yet be done. There has of late
been a considerable rise in the prices of cured fish at
Wick, as high as 21s. per barrel for full crown brands,
having been offered, which sum several curers have re-
fused. Meantime the accounts from the continental
markets are very discouraging. arising from a large im-
portation of the early-caught fish, but they are expected
to rally so soon as the accounts of the backwardness of
the fishing shall have reached the various ports. Irish
markets rule from 245. to 255. The largest arrivals
seem to have been at Belfast, where the quotations are
245. 6,1. A sale of 300 barrels of Norwegian herrings
took place there lately, and brought a very poor figure
indeed. Leith markets may be stated at 235. The ac-
counts of the fishing at the different stations are
varied. The fishing is at an end for a season at Helms-
dale, and the average is eleven crans better than last
year. Owing to the late unfavourable state of the
eather the boats at Lossiemouth and B. urghead have
not been much at sea for some time, and it is almost cer-
tain now that the fishing at these sta,tiems will he poor
compared with past seasons. At Fraserhurgh the total
average is about 55 crans, and the bottt at Peterhead
844
crans each. The men employed in the herring
fishing on the west coast, particularly about Lech Ey-
Tina. z•calpi. and Brearif,,rd, have been amply remune•
rated. Toe genr,ral tag- h..s been from one to six bar-
rels, of good quality. This has been the case for weeks.

gr7urfds. Y4or Committee have entered into a decd of eove-
mint with the Great W'eritero Rai;wa3i Company, and thee of
the Directors of the S,,uth kt'alr Company, in confirmation of,
and for the purpose of giving eff-ct to, tli., arrangement there.
tofore made and referred to in the last report, for brining the
Monmouth and Hereford Railwayinto ;Ind through the city of
Gloucester, the purport of which agreement is :—' That the
Great Western Railway Company shall not apply for power to
make that portion of their Monmouth and Hereford Railway
from near a place called Boseley, in the parish of Westbury,
which was intended to be carried across the river Severn to
Standish.; but that the said railway shall be brought into and
through the city of Gloucester, there to join the Cheltenham
and Great Western Union Railway, by making the Monmouth
snd lierefore line join and run into the Gloucester and Dean

for extending their line by way of Banbridge to Newry and

with the committee of the Newry, Banbridge, and Belfast
Junction Railway Company, as they might deem expedient.
We are gratified to be able to state that an agreement was on
Wednesday entered into between the committee of the
Directors of the Ulster Railway Company and the managing
committee of the Newry, Banbridge, and Belfast Company,
settling the terms upon which the project of the latter com-

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENIN( I. in con:.eyuence of
some of the military, doing duty at Windsor, having actively
canvassed for Colonel Reid, a letter, of which the following
is a copy, has been forwarded to the Horse Guards on the
subject :
"TO IDS GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, K. G. , COM-

MANDER-IN-CHIEF, HORSE GUARDS, LONDON.
"My Lord Duke,—As an elector Cf Windsor, deeply in-
terested in the result of the forthcoming election, I take the
liberty of addressing your Grace (as the Commander-in-
Chief) for the purpose of complaining of the extraordinary,
indeed, I may say, unconwitutional it:terference of se-reral of
the officers aid non- commissiohed officers in the Yd Regi-
ment cf Lifc Guards with the votes f the electors.

"The regiment is stationed within the borougn, and your
Grace will, I think, agree with mo in opinion that, although
the officer in command is one of the candidates to represent
Whabor, in the room of the late Mr. Ramsbottom, it forms
no part of military duty for the officers and men to be en•
gaged in actively canvassing for votes.
" Amongst those holding her Majesty's commission in the
2d Regiment of Life Guards who have thought proper to
interfere with the free ai;tl independent votes of the elec-
tors, and who- have privately as well as publicly attempted
to induce several-of the Burgesses to promise their votes to
their cornmandinc, officer, are Lieutenant BertiC, Quarter-
master Allen, and Mr. P. W. G. Calder, Surgeon.
"I trust that, for the sake of strict military discipline
being preserved, and in order that no further efforts may be
made by the officers of the regiment to coerce the voters in
the exercise of the elective franchise, your Grace . will take
such Steps in the matter as may be considered expedient to
put a stop to the unseemly military interference of which I,
as an elector, have a right to complain. Relying upon your
Grace's well-known courtesy to pardon this appeal to your
sense of justice, I have tits honour to be, my Lord Duke,
your Grace's most obedient, very humble servant.
" Windsor, Oct. 18, 1845."

The revision of the Windsor lists of voters for the borough,
and also for this division of the county, took place this after-
noon, in the Town-ball, before Charles S. Whitmore, Esq.,
the Revising Barrister. The whole business occupied less
than half an hour. The ten claims, on the county ljst,
were allowed. One new claim was made for the borough,
which was not objected to. There were no objectior s on
either list, except by overseers, in consequence of deaths and
removals.

SCOTCEI LINES.

DUNDEE AND STRATHMORE JUNCTION.—The Directors of
the Dundee and Perth, and Dundee and Newtyle, have come
to the following arrangements for improving the Newtyle
line:-1. The Dundee and Perth Railway Company agree to
lease the Dundee and Newtyle Railway and works and plant
in perpetuity, and thereupon to guarantee to the present
shareholders of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway an annual
dividend of one per cent. upon the amount of their capital
stock, not exceeding 115,0001. 2. That the capital of the
Dundee and Strathmore Junction Railway shall be 100,000/.,
divided into shares of 251. each. 3. That 1,000 shares of the
stock of the said company shall be placed at the disposal-ef the
Directors of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway Company, and
the remainder of the shares shall be placed at the disposal of
the Directors of the Dundee and Perth Railway Company.
4. That the new line shall be worked by the Dundee and
Perth Railway Company, at a rate to be fixed upon by a
neutral party, mutually chosen by the Directors of the Dun-
dee and Perth and Dundee and Newtyle Railway Companies.
5. That after deducting the guaranteed rate of one per cent.
on the stock of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway Company,
and the working expenses, &c., the balance of the free
revenue shall be applied, in the first place, in paying a
dividend of six per cent. to the holders of the new stock;
and in the second place the surplus shall be divided amongst
the holders of the original stock of the Dundee and Newtyle
Railway. 6. That early meetings of the shareholders of the
Dundee and Perth, and Dundee and Newtyle Railway Corn •
panies, shall be called for receiving the reports of the Directors
of the respective companies in regard to the present arrange-
ments, and for confirming the same.
ABERDEENSHIRE CANAL.—Arrangements, we understand,
are now completed for the purchase of this canal by the pro-
moters of the Great North of Scotland Railway. This ac-
quisition will be of great importance to that undertaking;
while the district, hitherto accommodated by the canal, will
have no reason to regret the substitution of a railway for all
their present or prospective wants.
EDINBURGH, QUEENSFERRY, AND PERTH.—At a meeting
of the trustees of the Queenaferry, held on Saturday, it was
unanimously agreed to lease the ferry to this railway com-
pany for ninety nine years, at the nominal rent of five shil-
lings, upon the condition of their taking all the debts and
responsibilities of the trust. Two branches or extensions, in
addition to the line as originally planned, are intended to be
included in the Bill; one to go round the west side of Loch
Leven, keeping the towns of Kinross and Milnathort on the
main line, and the other from South Queensferry to Ratho,
on the line of the Edinburgh and Glasg.•w. At this point, it
is understood, the Caledonian Railway will join it, and
thereby secure a direct passage to the north, besides that by
the Scottish Central, near Falkirk.
