There were uo gold withdrawals the Dank to day, and 80,000 received from Portugal, were sent in. The advices from the principal Continental cities dcacribo comparative ease in the various money markets. The following relate! to the Italian Irrigation and Canal!

It was a auiuuiona. written In Italian, calling' open; me to apnear within a atvcifinl time at Turin, to show eauae why I ihoul.l not upon 3) of theae ahares, with Interest at per cent, on auch arreara, an in default of payment liable to, ixrsoual arreat. II also called my attention to the iartiierhip itatutea, bv hloh an original allottee a heM irnnallr ruponiible to the "extent of 01. on each abare, in thcfrt nlal the default ofhlt tranaferee.

"P.S.

The market is still languid an4 prioas ilruopinz. Baiineaa" ta ahippine yarns hat been very flat toxlaj, and to make sales eonsi.lerably lower prices would have to be taken. The market for theae goods closes with ranch depression, and no class of buyers eeeoi disposed to operate at any decline sptoners would be willing to scv cept. For home trade yarna we have also had a quiet and dull market, and aoy adrsoce gaioed last may now be said to be entirely lost. There is a little more inquiry at the reduced rates, bat it hu not yet led to any business worth Qsminz.

In doth all the advantage in prices estab lished early last week had disappeared by the commencement of this, and to day the market appears to be as flat as it can do. Buyers bqow rery utue uuj.aii.iuii to operate, and are nrofesaedl waitinir till the arrival of the American mail steamer (the Canada), now overdue, before making up their minds. There la a good deal of inquiry as to pnoe, but it appears, to be mostly or a speculative character, and tha offers made are exceedingly low. So far as can be gathered, very few manufacturers have mad the concessions Implied by sncn oners, tDougn price are Irregular, and consequently the amount of business has been very limited. Shirtinci are generally quoted at aboat'Sa, per but even this price is hardly obtainable for ordinary makes.

Daniel in th Mr. KtXXIlXrth lecretary, having, read the notice cob vrning toe meeting, toe report, aa abstract of which ha appeared in Tkt Timtt, waa takes as read.

The ClIAIRMAX, in moving the dtptionof the report, said he trusted thst it would meet with their spnrobation. It was an evidence of tbe slow but steady progress that had been made in the affairs of the railway. On going back for ten year it must be gratifying to pereeir that they had kept oPi their rate of advance to tb present time, in spit of having to contend with other for th portion of Uietrame wnico cad been laxen Irom tanm. in Increase ot the passenger and goods trafSe their effort had been successful, but it had been a gradual success. Kaon hsd reason to supposa that any deterioration had taken place, although there were element at work to iliminiah soma ot their source of trafSe.

It hal been their business to doth beat thev could tfnder tb eircuniatanoes. to keep their re venue safe and on the Increase. The London Dock branch wss now at work, and thev might expect some return from mat source. Ane rente lormed a urge portion oi tna goods traffic brought on the line. Tboae rent were not likely to Incresse, but ir tne eoal and other traffle lncressed on the line they could form some estimste ot what it was likely to be; and he would be happy to anawer any questions they tnoiigbi proper to ssa.

Mr. F. MACNAanTKy. deputy chairman, seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr.

Jkimiins said he hs'd never before so Important sn occasion for addressing them as the present, because, at the special meeting which would ahortlr be held thev would he asked to sanction an agreement fur leasing the line to the Ureal eastern Kauwav Uomnanv lor VJJ Tears at a fixcl rental of 41 per cent, per annum. He found oo lookinr back that ia the year 1854 to 1S.V1 tbe dividend of the company wss 4s. oil. per snare, whica. was st tne rate or 4 per cent, per annum.

The policy of the companv was then changed. thev allied themselves to tho Tilburv line, and there was a falling off in the receipts. The expenses had ever since gone on increasing up to the past nall year. Tbe receipt had also increased at the rate of about a year, lie wis anxious that thev ihotild Dot part with their property for too small a considerations The ChaIRMAw said the special meeting would be held for the discussion of that question. The mat ters adverted to by Mr.

Jeggina hail been explained over and over again at former meetings. They had no option in altering their former policy thev were obliged to give up the boat and go band in band with tne iUbury line, lit boat could not stand against the railwav. The expense in IR55 were 43 per cent, of tha receipts, snd new they were is per cent. Yt hen thev paid the 4 per cent, in 1855 they bad no competition but wnen tne competition arose tneir aiYiaeml decreased. The directors then sought for other traffic, and they all knew tne result.

The report was then snanimouslr adopted. Dividend st the rate of 4 per cent, per annum on the pre lerenc stocx, ana oi (. a. ti. per cent, per annum oo tbe I.459,000f.

the retiring directors. were re elected aod Mr. U. smith, the retiring auditor, The meeting waa then made special, to consider aa offer from the Great Eastern Railwar Companv for leasiae the London and Blaekwall Klilway for the term of 97J years at the net sonnal rent of 4X 10s. per cent, on the capital stock ef the company without any deduction whatever, excepting for property or income tax.

The CHAUtMA.Y explained that themtiontv of the Board. after then most careful consideration, were of opinion that th offer should be accepted. It was now for tbe shareholders to determine whether they considered it desirable or not. The subject had been frequently mooted In that room ss to tb desirableness ot leasing their abort line to on of the great companies. Looking at all the circumstance, the construction of new eiatioos by other companiee in Caanoo atreet aoid.Liverpool atreet, also the new station aod line, into the city bv the orth London, and other matter thst were going on; he thought it wise to ally themarlvea with tome) targe company ana constaenng tone, wtta au toe exeruons of the Board, it had taken Uo year to increase their dividend by 1 percent, he thought theyahould accept the offer.

They were now offered 4J per ceot not sa a guaranteed Itock, but aa a rent charge having priority of large amount of preferential stock. Before the offer was made the stock of the companv stood at 64 in tbe market, but since it had gradually nsen to 84. and if leaaed as proposed it would be 94, or nearly par. He concluded by moving a formal reao tution approving the agreement for granting a leaaa of the line to the Great Eastern for 999 years, at net annual rest of 41. 10s.

per cent, on the rapttat stock of the company and authorizing th directors to apply to Parliament for power to sanction th kgreemeot. Mr. ACSAOHTXir seeooded th motion. Mr. VlSAOLca, a director, contended that if they sanctioned that arraogemeat it would be th most' suicidal act they could do, and to rapport this view be stated that it the line waa properly managed it weald return a larger amount ef dividend, so that In thro or four years they would have 5 or 8 per cent.
