TATTERSALL'S.—THURSDAY.
The attractions at Newmarket were not sufficient to in-
duce a large proportion of the usual frequenters of the
room to stay away; and many who had gene there ha‘tened
back, in the forlorn hope of meeting those whose absence
on Monday had excited so much regret. Nothing oc-
curred, however, to lessen the feeling of dissatisfaction
the windinz.up of the Pm-ming Rein affair had produced.
In fact, " the absentees" w, re a. 'lamer us as ever, and
t!-,e complaints *ere " loud and deep" at the want of
principle di.playrd by persons in whom the' fullest eon&
deuce had been placed. •A wort of vague impression still
remains that some of the lost sheep may be found at Li-
verpool, and a tacit understanding existed against a publit -
announcement of defaulters till after that opportunity of
"coming to the post" had gone by. All delicacy will
then cease, and the names of the unprincipled will be
made public without scruple. The dissatisfaction which
prevailed had an obvious influence on the betting-, and the
buiress done was not only limited, but confined to a veil
!harrow circle. - The following were the closing prices:--

THR WOOL. TEAHL—It was fully expected by the
graziers generally throughout the kingdom that the re-
duction in the duty on ,foreign wool imported into this
country would have the effect of very considerably re-
ducing the price of .that staple commodity at the several
wool fairs generally held at this period of the year in the
agricultural districts. These forebodings, however, 00
the part of the graziers do not appear likely to be realised,
At the Ilsley wool fair, which was held last week, at which
upwards of 4,500 tods were pitched, and more than 4,000
tods sold, the prices realised were far greater tban in 1843;
and when it is considered that the prices obtained by the
graziers for their wool at this celebrated annual mart or!e
looked upon as a fair average standard of the value of thf,
important article of commerce in other districts, it doe
not appear that the wool-growers have much cause for fe.re
or alarm, at. least at present. The following were,t,R„
prices obtained by the growers this year :—Teg wool, 'll,
to 325. 6d.; ewe wool,. 275. to 28s. • and mixed so,_°_,
being about one-third part teg, 28s. to 295. 6d. Lastxg_';
the same qualities obtained the following prices tr,
255. to 255. 6d. ; ewe,- 235. to 235. 6d. ; mixed, 235. 6d.
245. 6d. Ever since 1838 (when wool was nearly
highest) the prices have gradually declined, down to 1?7,b
when it was at its lowest price. In 1838, the prices wiV:l,
were obtained by the growers at Ilsley fair were :8;7.;
lows :—Teg wool, 425. to 455. 6d. ; ewe, 365. to 39
mixed, 40s. to 41s. Several extensive buyers from I°l 4
shire and other parts of the country attended the fairf
made considerable purchases. At the Abing4loo v"'" !ere
held last week, business was exceedingly brisk, and p 0.,,
from all parts of the country were present. Nearly
whole of the wool hitched was purchased before the ci7a,
of the day. The pricts obtained by the growers were
ditto,
follows, at per tod :—Teg wool, 30s. to 335; Vet"

THE 7' LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM" AND
THE " GRAND JUNCTION" RAILWAY COM-
PANIES.

On Tuesday, at one o'clock, a special general meeting of
the Directors and Shareholders of the " Grand Junction
BabiiwaY" was held in the Cotton Sa'es Room. for the pur-
.ruee of obtaining concurrence in the formation of
eel', shares towards the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway,
and also of furnishing those present with an official stare-
Meat of the favourable art angement recently made for a
Mutually beneficial alliance bet wee.' that company and the
London and Thrmingham."
JOHN Moss, Esq. took the chair, and, after the notice
sailing the meeting had been read, said—
The Lancaster and Carlisle act having been passed on
-the 6th ult., we have lost no time in calling you together
for the creation of the £l2 103. shares, so as to raise the
(*Pita' agreed to he raised by the Grand Junction Corn-
PanY towards that undertaking. The needful formal re-
solutions for this purpose will be submitted for your ap-
proval, and with the adoption of these resolutions the re-
gular business of the day will be concluded. Although it
does not, strictly speaking, fora) a subject of discussion at
the present meeting, we cannot deny ourselves the satisfac-
tion of
stating what, we areaasured, you will be equally gra-
tified to learn, viz., that the points of dispute between the
Grand Junction and the London and Birmingham baards
have been set, led to mutual satisfaction ; that the general
resolutions of the two boards, by the arrangements in pro-
tress, will be placed permanently o' an improved footing,
the result, so far as the public is concerned, is,
hi" the two companies will, by working together, be ens-
ed to give increased accommodation, and on reduced
terms, such as it will be out of the power of any other
ltrtY to offer. The proprietors were informed at

Board have been always impressed with a deep

Of the two concerns, which off,r douotless the proprietors
generally have seen in the newspaper, gave it their most
anxious and mature consideration ; and that the result
was an unanimous decision against the amalgamation as
proposed, and a communication of the decision to the,
London and Birmingham board, with the reasons for it.,
and with such a recapitulation of past transactions ancU
communications between the two boards as we trust has
satisfied the Londo's and Birmiagliam board that nothing
had ever been further from our wish or design than to
prejudice the London and Birmingham Company. or to
act otherwise than in harmony and. in the most friendly
concert with them. We also offerei a meeting for
discussion on a basis not inconsistent with
.ygour reso-
lutions when you last as-embled ; and ( la' meeting
took place accordingly on Wedne•day last, the 3d instant.
Not only was the subject of a Shrewsbury railway
then satisfactorily disposed of. but the general arrange-
ment which was made includes the prosecution of the
Trent Valley Line on fair terms to all parties. In the
present state of matters, some minor points of detail
(though fully set•led as between the two companies) being
Mill under the consideration of other parties whose interests
'are involved in them, we must ask for a continuance of
confidencelevoeurtsuntii without more full explanation, at all

happily terminated our differences. it would be unwise to
recur
