The Company's o pe rations will embrace three main objects : let. That of a Land and Irrigation Company ; 22d. That of a Public Works (more especially a Lighting, Paving, and Water Company): end, bd. That of a Trust Loan and Investment Conipsoy. It has seemed wise to the Directors to combine these objects in see Company, duce, while all are entirely compatible, and can bevy yproperly undertaken ender one management, the heavy mipailess of ekes, directions, and servants for separate com panies will be thereby avoided. The South African Irrigation and Investment Company, while umethigthe wants most keenly felt at the present time by the South A ri an Colonies, cannot fall to realise to He shareholders Vretains upon the capital. s Land and Irrigation Company it will enter upon a most rising field of operations. Large tracts of fertile soil along the rivers, and in the great karoos or plains of the country, are to be purchased at vary low prices, which, by Irrigation Works, lodates, tanks, or water-leadings from rivers, maybe converted, by DO great outlay, into properties many times their original vane. The government returns for 1850, of the value of landed In these colonies, show that where by private enterprise on works have been constructed on farms, the enhance ment of value has been from five to ten fold, and as such m eans have been achieved by private enterprise, yet more eatis **dory results may be looked for where labour is more organised, and scientific skill is brought to bear. The Company will not only purchase lands with a view to re side after the construction of irrigation works, but will take con tracts for the construction of like works upon government and private lands. It is known to be in contem plati on in next session of the colonial parliament to introduce a b ill to facilitate the con struction of a eerie* of government tanks, and to secure on the capital employed la each works on government land, • govern ment guarantee of at least six per cent. per annum. As a Public Works Company for the towns of South Africa, the prospect Is equally inviting. There is scarcely • town of magnitude which is not now prepared to offer most liberal and remunerative terms to this Company, to become to it a coned. kited Water and Gas Company and Port Elizabeth (now the oommercial capital of all South Eastern Africa) caused a bill to be introduced into last session of the colonial parliament, charg ing the whole property of the town for Ane,ooo, to guarantee at least A 2,0 00 per annum on outlay for workefor water supply. The Directors feel that the present is a most favourable opportunity for the establishment of a Company for Public Works, and they confidently anticipate that they will be able to completearrange meets with the authorities at Port Elizabeth to become Be Light ing, Paving, and Water Company, so as to ensures most favour able commenoement of businems, and facilitate future operations.. It may be mentioned that in towns where, by authority of local municipalities, waterworks have been constructed, they have proved sources of very large profits on the capital Invested, and the only One Company in operation in South Africa pays annual dividends varying from lb to 20 per cent. As a Trust Company a very considerable and profitable busi ness can be done. It will be in position to offer very ample secu rity to constituents, and the following statement of selling prices of shares in existing Trust Companies will show what may be done under this he Name of Company. 1 Patd-np. j Selling Mee. 1 1Maid of Amortattoo f lronton. or Administertagl _ rAtat!° _ Z U. d. 100 0 0 976 0 0 262 0 0 910 0 B a. 0. 360 0 0 187 10 0 General Estate, ite.

Motley may be invested to almost any ex tent in first or preference mortgages, of the amplest security, on leaded property in the South African Colonies, at rates varying from ato 12 per cent. per annum, thus yielding a large profit over the cost of money In England ; and as it will ha the object of the Directors to raise money on Debentures of the Company or otherwise, to be specially applied to loans on such first wort pges. it becomes matter of easy calculation that the profits to be made by the Company in this department of Its bo.sWma will be highly remunerative. Arrangements are in progress for the immediate COMMIX!. ment of the business of the Company in all Its department., and the Directors will give their especial attention to the selection of eMcient and we -qualified managers. Powers will be taken in the Articles of Association for the In corporation with this Company of existing companies of like object in South Africa. As this Company Is established at the urgent request of in fluential colonists, who are prepared to invest in the company to a considerable extent, 2,000 shares will be reserved for allotment in South Africa. Such provision has been made by the Directors for the pre liminary expeuses as will secure the Company against, paying say sum whatever In the nature of promotion money, and the Articles of Aoeoclation will contain a clause giving the shareholders the power to fix, year by year, the amount of the directors' remunera tion. The head office of the Company will be in London, but branch offices and local committees, under the control of the London Board, will be established in the chief towns of South Africa.

The PTEIIe says it is convened in consequence of despatches from London on the Greek question, and also of a proposal frola St. Petersburg. The Russian government is said to have invited France to join in • diplomatic note to be addressed to England ; intimating at the same time that if France should think fit to stand aloof Russia will go on by herself. The Mcmileur, whose absolute silence hitherto hasbeen much remarked, mentions Prince Alfred's name for the first time to-day, but only in its col lection of political gossip, headed " Bu lletin," and in a correspondence supposed to be written in Lon don. This tardy notice of what has been the leading political topic of the week contains nothing from which any important inference can be drawn. The Moniker merely says that the most important organs of public opinion in England are against the idea of Prince Alfred being King, and it speaks of his candidature as being the work of a party of agitators in Greece. MeMipao. vs . sot very t 2 l ii: i t e lgl i n=lttrur ug iieer;irtl by the French government are strictly true. General Forey is utterly unable to go for ward. He writes for large reinforcements, and there is a talk of sending out 20,000 more men. The hopes which were entertained that disease in the army would crease with the hot season have been disappointed. With the exceptionof thoeeregimenta which had been acclimatised in Algeria, the propor tion of which to the whole expedition is small, the whole force is suffering from endemic and typhus fever. The exhalations from the ground, soaked by the autumnal rains, prove quite as fatal as the summer heats The ambulances and hospitals are crowded with sick and dying. The roads are in such a state that the onward march of the army is impossible without ten times the number of mules that can at present be got. Under these einem stances, General Forey has resolved to suspend all offensive operations until the arrival of large rein , foreemente and a medical service adequate to the requirements of his army. This news is a severe blow for the government. The folly of the Idexl , can expedition now stares it in the face. Not only does the ever-increasing expense make M. Fould's hair stand on end, but the war is nape ' pular with the army. Officers and men of all grades are without enthusiasm for service in Mexico, and see in it nothing but the prospect of an inglorious grave. The Duke de Grammont Caderousse has appealed to the Court of Cessation against the judgment of the Court of Versailles in favour of Mr. Dillon's family. The point of law involved in the appeal is understood to be whether the court was Justified * making the annuity of 3,600 f., awarded to Mrs. Dillon inheritable by her two sons, brothers of the deceased. The Pays says that the governor of the Han brouck prison and the matron of the female ward leave been dismissed in consequence of the dis closures made at the trial of Rosalie Doize. That may or may not be a just measure of severity, but ft is far from being a satisfaction to the public conscience. The whole system of secret confine ment and inquisitorial examination by judges of instruction loudly calls for reform. M. Dupiu, now the highest law officer of the crown, was iu former days one of the most eloipient advocates of • change. Now is the time for him to show himself sincere. A prisoner requires to be tected before a judge of instruction. Counsel should be allowed him just as before a police magistrate in London. It happens every day at the assize court that • prisoner denies having made some admission recorded against him. by the judge of instruction. When this occurs the president invariably . looks at the jury, and says, "Gentlemen, the prisoners asks you to believe that the judge of instruction has certified • falsehood." The speech and gesture are almost always conclu sive against the accused. But yet experience shows that a judge of instruction is not only not infal lible, but very frequently mistaken. I myself have been three times before one as a witness, and on each occasion he took down my evidence in such a way as to alter it materially. It is true that, as I happen to have some knowledge . of law and experience in the ways of courts of justice, I refused to sign the deposi tions as read over, and got them altered in con formity with fact. Bat the majority of prisoners and witnesses are too nervous to do this. They are glad to be rid of questions and sign whatever they are told to do. The judge does not, doubtless, mean to record false testimony, but his object is to make the evidence square with the indictment which is his brief, and to this end he translates and modifies in very elegant language the crude state ments of those whom he interrogates. The Bourse, after some fluctuations consequent upon the des 'primes for the end of the month, elose th great weakness. Rents fell 20c. for cash, and 30e. for account, closing at 70.15 and 70.10. Mobilier fell 25f., and the Italian Loan 30c. In railways the only material changes were a fall of 12.50 in Southern, and 3.75 in Lyons. The Concert of National Melodies with band of 20 harps, and sheens of 400 voices, is antonoced to take place at Bt. Jamie's-ball en Wednesday evening next, December 3rd.

WORKING MIN'S CoLLloi.—On Saturday even in Mr. Ruskin met the members of this institution, giving a kind of farewell lecture previous to his departure from England. The large room of the college was completely filled, and the attention with which the lecturer was listened to, end the continued bunts of applause which greeted his remarks, testified to the respect and esteem in which he is held, not only by the pupils of his own particular class, but also by the masters and students generally. Mr. Ruskin was put through a kind of cram-examination by several of those present, who were anxious for a few words of guidance touching the course of reading to be adopted by men wish ing to study standard authors, but whose time for so desir able a pursuit was naturally extremely limited. In fiction, Mr. Ruakin recommended the earliest perusal of Le Sage, Soott, and Balza; while in the drama he advised his pupils to study the works of Shalupears, Ben Jonsoo, and Mohan. On the subject of art, the lect urer cautioned the drawing student. against the too attractive charms of colouring, sad advised them to cultivate the breadth and freedom only to be obtainable by outline drawing and sketching from nature herself. FIRE AND LOBS or TIMM lavas ar Magnirgsrag. —About half-past one o'clock on Saturday morning a fire broke out in a shop in Stretford New-road, Manchester, occupied by Mr. George Pates, milliner and hosier. Infor mation was given at the fire-office, and soon after two ear gioes and a body of men under Mr. Superintendent Tore, were at the scene of the fire. Two jets were at once at , Cached to the high pressure mains, and though there was A plentiful supply of water the Bremen were Dot able to ex tinguish the fire, before nearly the whole of the interior of the building, which is three stories high, had been des troyed. The shop adjoining, occupied by Mr. Pember, caught fire, but the fire was extinguished by the hand pumps a short time. The father and one of the children were up to half-past ten missing. The mother along with the other child escaped, but the mother was seriously in jured, and died about eleven o'clock, having received savers injuries in the spine, by slipping off a plank placed from the window to the ground, to enable her to escape. The other inmates, with the exception of Mr. Pates and his daughter. Amelia, aged seven, managed to escape by means of the plank placed by the neighbours, whose energies from the first were most praise worthy. A son of Mr. Pates, however, injured his jaw by falling off the plank. It was not ascer tained till after day light that Mr. Pates and his daughter were missing, and as soon as the discovery was made every effort was put forth to fled them. The most painful excitement prevailed amongst the bystanders who crowded around the }remises. At 12 o'clock, by means of the ire-escape, the front bed room on the top floor wee reached, and the bodies of Mr. I Pates and his daughter were found lying on the floor. The father's arm encircled his daughter's want, and both were much burnt. It appeared, however, that the deaths resulted from suffocation. - Mr. Pates, it is said, has been but a short time in 160SIDONI in the locality. De.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. TURIN, Nov. 29. To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, General Durand° made Lis expected speech on the foreign policy of the Italian cabinet. Re contradicted the accusation that the govern ment had made the French alliance the exclusive basis of their foreign policy, and continued : "We agree with England on many questions. That power leaves Italy free to express her wishes, but the Roman question has not advanced, neither has it retrograded. It was useless to hope for any re sults from negotiations with the court of Rome, and we were therefore obliged to direct all our efforts towards France in order to terminate the oocupa tion of Rome by the French troops. We wish to be reconciled with the Holy See, and the only ob stacle to this reconciliation is the French occupa tion of Rome. The late note of M. Drouyn de Lhuys allows us to expect a favourable reception by the French government of our proposals. Be fore proceeding further with the negotiations, how e►er, the cabinet awaits the decision of parliament." TURIN, Nov. 30. In to-day's sitting of the Chsmber of Deputies the Minister of Public) Works defended his political conduct since 1848. He spoke with emotion of the moment "when it became necessary to stifle in his breast the voice of friendship for Garibaldi in order to do his duty as a Minister." . . . . The speech of the Minister was much cheered by the Assembly. PRINCE ALFRED AND THE GREEK THRONE. CORFU, Nov. 28.

Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Grosvenor, M.P., in opening the proceedings, said the number who had passed through their clan firing in 1861 had been 627, and in 1862, 549. The total number who bad attended the butts aim, the Ist ' of January this year had been 1,092, which he thought, out of 1,450 members, was highly creditable to the regiment. The highest figure of merit of firing for the battalion was 34.8 in 1861, and in 1862 39.67, being an improvement in the latter year of 5.5 N. The number of members who pared through an marksmen in 1861 was 82, and in 1862, 130. This, he tli ht, was very gratifying. The average attendance at drill during the present year had been quite 600. They had 1,0001 at Brighton, 945 at their inspection, and at &moot the Qtr en's were quite equal in number to any other two battalions on the ground.
