The New York Courier and Enquirer, in its monthly
report of stock fluctuations, says:
The shares of the Canton Company Of Baltimore have
recently attracted attention-not altogether unin
uenced perhaps by the facts which have been developed
by the controversy now going in Legislature
upon the subject of cogging railway system
with restrictions which will tend to divert the channels
of trade to the great routes terminating in Philadelphia
and Baltimore. The Canton Company own the principal
water front well the lands in the immediate vicinity
of the depos of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, and any increase of traffic this would
once enhance the value of its property.

AN EXTRAORDINARY MEETING IN LoNpoy.-One of
the most extraordinary meetings for years past
took place recently at midnight at the ST. James's

some of those unhappy persons in suitable place
near by, where judicious addresses might be given

envelopes were distributed among this class of per-
sons at the casinos, ces and in the Streets udted
as follows:
''The favor of your company is requested by sew
eral friends who will meet at the ST. James's Res
taurant, 69 Regent street, to take tea and coffee
together, on Wednesday night, Feb. s, at IL

Some hundreds of these were distributed and the
experiment met with great success, although many
treated the matter with rdicule, while others
thought the whole affair hoax. Shortly before
midnight large number of these unfortunate crea-
lures appeared at the entrance and were shown
INTO the large dining-room of the hall, capable of
holding some hundreds of persons There was an
abundant supply OF tea, coffee, and edibles at the
various tables about the room, round which they

Prayers were offered up and appeals were made

Mr. ADRAIN offered prop position to be read SIM
ply for the information of the House. 1t was in the
character of a reply to a resolution heretofore pre-
sented by Mr.. Carter, which latter charged the
committee to make arrangements for the Inaugural
ton of the equestrian statue of Washington, and
the President and heads of the Departments with a
want of attention and hospitality to the New York
Seventh Regiment. This allegation Mr.. Abrams
preamble pronounced untrue.
Mr.. KELLOGG, Of Illinois, reminded Mr.. Adrain
that Mr.. Carter was not here, being called hence
by sickness in his family.
Mr.. ADRAIN said he did not intend to discuss the
subject
Mr.. KELLoGG-But your paper reflects upon him.
Mr.. ADRAIN-When Mr.. Carter offered his reso-
luton ], member of the Committee, was not here
MIR. CLARK proceeded to read letter from Col
Hickey, vindicating the Washington military from
all censure, and showing that the Seventh Regi-
ment were invited within the circle to witness the
inauguration. That quarters at the best hotels
were provided free of expense to them. That the
Chairman of the Committee, Mr.. Keith, made a
P"tFigtie speech to them, at the Columbian Armo-
ry. That Col. Lefferts has expressed his regret at
the entirely unjust censure which has been cast on
the Committee.
Mr.. ABRAMS preamble concluded with a resolu-
ton that the one presented by Mr.. Carter was an
unJustitable attack on Committee of the House,
as well as on the President and heads of the seve-
raj Departments; and was brought forward for the
purpose of making little political capital for him
self.
The matter here ended.
