Hoasusts hare been contributing their respective doubts and perplexi ties to the stook of obstruction which some of their late colleagues would heap op in the path of Reform. We are sorry to see men of whom we had hoped better things hesitate and palter with great principled at such a time. Lord PANMUI/E, if we mistake not, started in political life as a very de. cided Liberal, and though he subsequently thought fit to modify some of his opinions, he stiU professes to hold the creed of CHARLES itliEs Fox, the guiding principle of which he declares to be defence of the privileges of the people against the usurpations of the nobility and the Crown. In accordance with that principle he supported the Bill of 1832; in accordance with that principle he agreed, as a member of Lord Joni Russetes Cabinet, to a 61. franchise in 1652: what does he mean by telling as now that he still adheres to the wisdom of the former, while he studiously geoids the utterance of one con sistent word in re-assertion of the latter? By his own showing he most believe that were Mr. Fox amongst us at the present day, he would advocate this and something more. That wise and good states man abhorred evasions and ambiguities ; he said out plainly what he meant by being a Wbig ; and his version of Whiggery was, the right of every householder to a voice in the representation. Is this the Whiggery of Lord RUMORS ? If it be, why does he not say so? Never, assuredly, did a party more need re-habilitation in its old traditional principles than that to which he belongs. After sitting three years in a Cabinet that wantonly and wilfully broke every pledge of Reform, it needed some re-assuring earnest of unwavering faith in right and justice to win back the confidence which had been lost. His Lordship's reference to his baptismal certifi cate is little to the purpose; it is not the name but the spirit of Mr. Fox that a wise politician should boast of. Nor can we accept a fancy passage in an after-dinner speech at Brechin, about the glorious right of asylum for aliens of every race, as sufficient atonement for the never-to-be. forgotten Conspiracy Bill. The only two things we can make out distinctly from Lord PANNURE'S Con servative speech is his opposition to the Ballot, and his addition of certain counteractive maxims and precepts, which he for the first time promulgates as portions of the Whig creed. These may be briefly said to consist in the duty of defending the Throne and Aristocracy against the encroachments of the People. There is not a partisan of Despotism abroad, or of Oligarchy at home, that has not this cant phrase for ever on his lips. It is the very shibboleth of Reaction; and Lord PAMMURE must have known that it would be so regarded when he used it. And what is the pretence for thus try ing to stimulate the prejuliors and passions of resistance? According to his Lordship, " we live " in very curious times, when we are to have very " large measures of Constitutional Reform, when scarcely a voice in the country is raised in their " favour." Where, then, is the danger? Nobody suspects the Court or Aristocracy of flinging away any power they can keep. Nobody can deny that the whole of one House and the majority of the other are members or nominees of the privileged class. If Lord PAXMCKI, believes what he says, that hardly a solve in the country is raised for Reform, what does he mean by drawing his political sabre and bidding his party hi political bayonets, to " resist the en " croachments of the People ?" We cannot say that we think Mr. 110R3V.4:4 . 8 ex position of principles mach more felicitous than that of the noble lord. If any logical inference were to be drawn from the long string of casuistries and sar casms with woich the electors of Stroud appear to have been entertained, it would be—that the Radicals would not he content with a good Ea that the Whigs should not par anything but a bad Bill, and that Lord Deahr could not carry either • good or a bad one. Very enlightened and encou raging doctrine this from one who takes so severely to task his late friends and colleagues because they werto as he says, a done Government. Close enough they undoubtedly were; but what is the use of saying so, if is the same breath the people are told, in effect, that they are never to have any real increase of re presentative power The Deal's' Administration have no chance whatever, we are assured, of carrying • Reform Bill; for, if what they propose be a small measure, it will be scouted, and if a large one, it will break up their party. Lord ions Reesetes scheme of a U. franchise in towns and 104 in tout Dee, tasted by rating, won't do at all, in Mr. HOMO MAN'S opinion ; for, if you go down to 61. why set to is., and ten years afterwards to 6d., and that would be universal suffrage. We hope that this i• a moi.report, though we have striven in 4.11 !CI Intent sore alternative phrases that would sopport the context, and escape the condemnation whim f: e words, as reported, deserve. The Member for Stroud cannot be ignorant that his five shilling or five penny rated householder hai no existence save a rhetorical one. Between the 61. suffrage and the old rated or householders suffrage there is in deed in the smaller towns a substantial difference But a gentleman who hu filled high administrative office cannot be unaware that in many places there are no tenements whatever rated under five pounds, and that in general there are very few where there ie any considerable number ra'ed below three or four pounds. His Universal Suffrage ghost, therefore, will not walk; old women in Stroud may possibly be scared by it, but we strongly recommend its non-pro duction elsewhere. It was natural enough in a politician like Mr. Lowe to cast obloquy on popular demands, and to talk of the middle classes being wholly swamped by opera tive numbers ; but we own we did not expect to hear from Mr. HORSM ‘N wholesale objections to every proposal for the mitigation of present injus tice, unaccompanied by any suggestion, however vague, for its remedy, on the transparent plea that because Reform was talked of we were on the high road to Universal Suffrage, and that Universal Suf frage was the MOM of Despotism in France and of Slavery in America. That Universal Suffrage his failed to frustrate unscrupulous ambition on the other side of the Channel, or to abolish percale' bondage beyond the ocean, is lamentably true. But to sseribe either the one or the other to it as a cause is a marvellous stretch of the powers of misrepre sentation. Negro slavery, as Mr. HOESMAN well knows, grew up in the American colonies under the islilarchie system of rule, which he would perpetuate in this country; and, as for Continental absolutism, he will hardly venture to assert that the Governments of Russia, Aast•is, and Naples are less arbitrary than that of France, though none of these ever pre tended to deduce their origin from popular election. WE believe that the speculations of a contempo rary, of Mr. Gurnrrone's remaining for any length of time in the lonian Islands, are entirely unfounded. Sir Jelin YOVNO'S tenure of power there will almost immediately terminate, and pending the short in terval between his departure and the arrival of a soccemor, Mr. GEanirtonE will, in a few day., re ceive the authority requisite for conducting the administration. Bat the Right Hoe. Gentleman will, we learn, be in London in ample time to parti ejpate in the leading events of the Session.—Daily Neter. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1859. LOMBARI)Y. (mom A COIMISPONDINT.) MILAN, Luc. 9. The Archduke Maximilian has left for Trieste, and it is rumoured that he is not likely to return to Milan. As you already know, General Oialay—who is the very personification of stringent military rule—has got the upper hand here, and there is great cause to fear that we may see a state of siege proclaimed in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. Official people, both here and in Verona, are indignant with the Pied montese government, which they openly accuse of being the first and most earnest instigator of that wide-spread discontent which is bat too evi dent, even to a foreigner travelling through Northern and Central Italy. Judging by my impression, and without any interest in the question, lam bound to say that, after having spent a few weeks in this country, I am convinced that a more absurd and groundless charge has never been made against a government. It is doubtless true that a great sym pathy is felt for these populations on the other side of the Ticino, but it would be madness to admit that the hatred which the Lombardo-Venetians feel for their Austrian rulers needs to be kept up by Sar dinian agents. This hatred has reached such a pitch that even the most indifferent traveller cannot bat notice it whenever he walks out in the street, or enters into any place of amusement. A friend of mine, who is very well acquainted with what is going on both here and in Turin, assures me that Count Cavour and his colleagues, having been lately asked to what extent the Lombardo-Veuetians could rely on the aid of Piedmont, have answered without hesitation that their government could not par ticipate in any act which directly or indirectly would cause a revolutionary movement in Italy. Every Milanese patriot is convinced that this is the only course which Count Cavour ought to follow. Piedmont mast not compro mime itself, and can only prepare to meet emergencies as an Italian power, not as a mere political party. Meanwhile the news of Prince Napoleon's marriage (or, as he is called here, Nopolemseino) with the daughter of Victor Emmanuel, has increased the hopes of the Italians. It is a curious fact that, although the negotiations of the marriage were kept so secret, some of the Milanese noblemen were informed of it about a week ago. I have been told by a person who is extremely well informed, that the first news of its conclusion was sent from Madrid by Count Cesarino Visconti, an intimate friend of the French Emperor, who was for a long time his pest and companion at Arenberg. I need not tell you what has been the influence of this news. Everybody, from the nobleman down to the baraba (a sort of popular bravo), is convinced that the Austrisci will be compelled to leave the place in two or three months. As a matter of course they rely on the united action of France and Piedmont, now that the cousin of the Emperor—who by-the-bye is almost an Italian, not only by birth, bat by educa tion—has become the husband of the amiable jrtylia d'lfalia, as the bride is called in Lombardy. You may easily imagine the joy caused by so great a piece of news. A Milan letter in the Opinion* stabs that hole of young men are leaving Lombardy to escape being drawn for the Austrian army. Sixty desertions have been reported to the commandant of Milan, who has sent a regiment of Hulans to the Ticini to stop the malcontents from getting away. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. BANK OF FRANCE.

The news is confirmed that Prince Napoleon will leave Paris at 8 o'clock this evening. He is ex pected at Turin at noon on Saturday, and the cere mony of the betrothal will probably take place on Monday or Tuesday. The prince is accompanied by Colonel Franconmire, his principal aide-de-camp, the Commandant Ferri-Pisani, Captain Weidner de Frendenstein, Lieutenant Dubuisaon, of the navy, one of his orderly officers, M. Hubaine, his private secretary (late a redacteur of the Prase), and also by the Emperor's aide-de-camp General Niel. I men tioned yesterday • report that General Niel was going lon a special mission to Vienna. This may still be true. although, if he is to wait at Turin for thefiancailles, his business with the Austrian government cannot be extremely pressing. There is little other news of a positive character, but the opinion that we are on the eve of a war is almost universal. I have heard bankers, merchants, and statesmen express an opinion that there can be no doubt about it. As to the effect of a war upon the internal clndition of France, opinions differ widely. Some say that it would be after a time so popular with the ignorant masses, that the Emperor could afford to despise the opposition of the three or four hundred thousand intelligent men in the country. The masses read no newspaper but the Mouiteur, which is placarded daily in every parish. One of these days they will see a paragraph stating that Austria has insulted France, and con taining something about the sun of Austerlitz. and that will be enough to raise • war fever, which will last a long time in spite of distress and taxes. That is one opinion. On the other hand, some people observe that France never at any period had so many unsound industrial un dertakings on hand as now, and that the d i stress when they are broken up will exceed all calcula tion. War, they say, means wide-spread bank ruptcy, 200,000 men out of work in the streets of Paris, and a proportionate number in all other large towns—men, moreover, who know how to handle • musket, and who will be in a state of desperation. A deputation of bankers saw the Emperor yesterday, and endeagpartd to alarm him. I hear that several Cht Court. WINDSOR, Joe. 13.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE, AUSTRIA AND FRANCE. THE CRISIS. The Nord of this morning contains the following kservations: " Our readers know, by our letters from Paris, that the opportunity has been given to the Cabinet of Vienna to revoke the order which had been sent to the troops to enter Beryla at the first call from the Pasha at Belgrade. That call has not been made, nor probably will it be, but the question of principle remaining as long as Austria shall not have implicitly satilfied the 29th Article of the Treaty of Paris, by the formal revocation of that order, we have yet to learn if the Cabinet of Vienna will yield to the reiterated remonstrances of the other Powers, or if, badly inspired, it will seek, as usual, to avoid the difficulty by gaining time. At the data of the last news the answer of the Cabinet of Vienna had not arrived in Paris. We do not mean to say that that answer is the only diplomatic information for which the Cabinet of the Tuileries is waiting to clear up the situation; but we do not believe we shall be far from the truth in saying that that answer is the pivot upon which everything will turn. If it be satisfactory, it is not at all impfobable that the Powers may meet again in a new Congress to resolve all the difficulties which were first noticed at Paris as being an unceasing menace to Europe, and from which war might at any moment arise. If, on the contrary, the answer should be unfavourable, the chauees would be for the other eventuality. The dencalment of the crisis depends then, as we have seen, upon a fact u yet unknown to the cabi nets themselves, and which has provoked so much talk and negotiations. The foregoing will explain the duration of the crisis, and the reserve which we feel bound still to maintain." The Constitutionnsl of this morning contains an article on the present state of affairs under the sig nature of the political director M. Renee. The article refers to the difficulties between France and Austria concerning the Danube and Berrie. The writer farther observes :—" The speech of the King of Sardinia could not be more moderate. The mar riage of the Prince Napoleon with a princess of Savoy will cement the alliance between the two nations. Italy is agitated, but war is only possible in the event of the violation of the treaties taking place or being threatened." The Monileur of this morning announces that Prince Napoleon left yesterday evening for Turin, and adds that his absent* will be of short duration. ITALY. BkRDINIA. (F/ON OV OWN OORSZOPONDENT.) TURIN, JAN. 10. I need not tell you that the opening of our Chambers has been au occasion of great popular excitement The sun shone most brilliantly, and the martial array of the National Guard, the battalions of which were numerically stronger than perhaps on any other occasion, was inspiring. The King was received with loud acclamations along his en tire route, and upon his entrance into the hall of the Madams Palace, and when he came out again, the applause was so loud and frequent that it seemed as if it never would cease. Ilia two sons, equipped in the uniform of the National Guard, accom panied him. The King read the speech with a calm voice until he came to the passage where the turbid state of the political horizon is mentioned ; from this phrase to the end his voice thrilled, his accents were more emphatic and his whole face lit up. Interrupted at the end of nearly every sentence with bursts of cheers, he waited till they had subsided, and then resumed the reading of his address with evident emotion. In the gallery of the foreign ministers, those of Naples and Tuscany were unable to conceal their air of discontent. The most vehement applause of all was bestowed on those words :—" Piedmont observes the treaties, hut is not insensible to the cry of grief which she hears from all parts of Italy." These words, as I mentioned to you in a former note, were not to have been introduced into the speech, although from the first the question of in serting them had been considered. They were finally adopted, however, and actually employed, in consequence of fresh despatches received from Paris only three days before the opening of the Chambers. The Austrian government having officially an nounced the despatch of fresh troops to Italy, the Sardinian government will carry on their defensive armaments with less reserve, and in such a manner as to be able in case of need to convert them into offen sive preparations. Their first step will be to send to the frontier two regiments, one of which is now stationed in Nice and the other at Anecy in Savoy. The Piedmonts's Gazette contained the day before yesterday a well-digested and lucid article on the wrong committed by Austria in contravening the resolutions of the Congress of Paris respecting the navigation of the Danube. This exposition in the Gazette was merely an extract from the note sent to Vienna by three of the powers that signed the treaty. I em able to inform you that another diplomatic note was sent to Vienna a very few days ago, in which there was a declaration, that any armed intervention in Servile by Austria would be considered by France as a cams belli. It stated also, that the sending of a strong force to Semlin and other points of the Austrian frontier would be regarded with heavy displeasure. The fact is on record, that Austria yielded immediately, renounced her original inten tion of upholding Prince Alexander at all costs, and impended the march of the greater portion of the troops she had sent to the Servian frontiers. French diplomacy has thu remonstrated against Austrian proceedings in the Principalities, and I have no doubt Austria will be tractable enough, for we hear from Vienna that she would submit to any humilia tion rather than provoke war. In Lombardy there is no longer any doubt felt' ' respecting the departure of the Archduke Maximi lian. The man in whom Austria now places confi dence is General Giulay, Rueletrki's successor in the military government of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom. His ambition is very great, and he has a lofty conception of his own c►pacity ; he is one of the most active member* of the so-called military party, and he has always declared in the Aulic Council that the Italians can only be kept down by force. He has quitted Verona and ►hifted his quarters to Milan, where he had no sooner arrived than, seeing himself surrounded by the officers of the garrison, he exclaimed with pride and irony, " I am the man to settle the Italian question paci fically." TURIN, THURSDAY, Jar. 13. The official l'iedmontese Gazette publishes the following note :—" The official Gazette of Vienna having announced the despatch of reinforcements to Italy, the Piedinontese Government has thought it its duty to bring the distant garrisons nearer to the frontiers of Lombardy, without however calling out the Contingents." ministers, among whom are MM. Fould and Rouher and Count de ferny, hsve pronounced strongly in favour of peace. There is no confirmation in any quarter of the rumours that M. Buol had resigned, and I do not believe the Austrian minister has any intention to separate from his muter at this crisis. There are vague rumours of negotiations, but I look upon them as merely founded upon those delusive, not to say hypocritical, steps which are being taken in order to fulfil the words of the Perie list night that " all means of conciliation will be exhausted " before war is resorted to. The process of " exhausting conciliatory means," added to the natural tendency to a reaction after such a tremendous fall in public securities, caused a rise at the Bourse to-day. The Rents rose 15c. for cash, and 30c. for account, closing at 68fr. 65c. and 68fr. 60c. Mobilier rose 6fr. All the railways were from Mr. to 10fr. higher. Now is the time to buy Isthmus of Suez shares, for those who like the security. The 50fr. shares are freely offered at 15&. (35fr. discount), but takers are few.

It has been proved that the het-named was the some who in July hat distributed • number of revo- lutionary pamphlets In Posen." A letter from Rome, of the 7th, says :—" On New Year'e-day the Pope sent a basket of comfits to the boy Moe tan by one of his holiness's chamberlain'. The child being, of course, duly prompted, asked for an interview with the Pope to thank him for the present. The audience was granted, and the chroniclers of the Vatican state that the tenderness of the Pope for the child, and the 'expansive confidence' of the latter, deeply moved all beholders." . . M. Quetelet, the secretary of the Belgian Aca demy, has received 2,000 Mums from an anonymous hand, to be given to tho author of the beet piece of poetry in either the French or the Flemish language, celebrating "the law of the Ist of May, 1834, which decreed the establishment of a system of railways in Belgium !" TILE PENINSULAR MAIL.—The Alhambra arrived at Southampton yesterday with the Peninsular midi. Her dates were—Gibraltar, Jan. 6 ; Cadiz, 6; Lisbm, 9; Oporto, 10 Vigo, 10. She brought 10 passengers.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN Ate- TRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.—According to the advice. by the Australian mail, which has juet arrived, there appears every probability that Australia and New Zealand will shortly be united by a submarine cable. A survey hea been made, and the report le favourable. The length of the cable will be about 1,360 miles, and the cost is estimated at 160,0001. It is expected, if there be any difficulty in the way, that that sum will be raised In the city of Melbourne, as the cable will be of incalculable use when the Australian malls go aid Panama, since the merchants of Melbourne will be enabled to overtake the mail for England at New Zealand • week after It has left Melbiurne ' and receive information from the mother country a week in advance of the mail for Australia. . -- Lose OF THE "SAXON KING."—We regret to notice the lose of the See Clyde ship Saxon King, bound from Java for this port with a cargo of ingot. It appears that the vessel had touched the ground somewhere on the Irish coast, which rendered her leaky, but not to such an extent ea to cause any apprehennion for her safety. The ship had reached the Scotch o and Mtne to anchor early on Tne•day morning off Cornwell Point, near the mouth of Loch Ryan, where she WAS obeerved by the meter of the Albion steamer, on its passage from Stranrser to Glasgow ' who sent one of his hands on board to see if they could render any smistance. On board ing the Sam King, it was found that, with the exception of the mutter end two Kamen, the whole of the crew had deserted the ship. These, aided by the hands from the Albion, made a strenuous effort to weigh the anchors, in order that the Naiad might be towed into port by the Albion. This, however, they foiled to effect, end the Albion had to leave without her. In the meantime, a tele graphic massage had been despatched to Glasgow to send down a powerful tug oftener to the 11.1tlIk1100 of the dis abled ship, which wu immediately done; but ere the tug had time to roach the plat's, a 'wooed meetage was received, stating that the veeeel had clink in nine fathoms water. The ship and cargo were ineured to the amount, we believe, of about 15,0001., a lota which will fall entirely upon the Glasgow underwriters.-61sepas Daily Neil. IatNIBETII BATHS AND WAsll-1101.:SES COMPANY (Litt ii no).—Yeiverdoy the half-yearly meeting of the share holders of this company was held at the establishtnent itself, Mount-street, Lambeth; Mr. It. Taylor in the chair. The reporn stated that, after paying all thee:penese of the last six mouths, there remained in hand a balance of 4171. 7e., oat of which the directors proposed to declare a dividend dein per cent. per manuals freeof income tax. The dividend would absorb 3701., so that there would remain the sum of 671. 7s. to be carried to the socoust of the current half-year. The ettuon opened well, for during one week of the month of June 12.419 persona need the bathe, and the receipts amounted to 3001. le. Sd.--the largest number of bathers and the largest amount of receipts for any week since the opening of the establishment. In July the weather changed, and the bathers deem/A.3d, and the result of the working of the *ix months, ending the 30th November. as compared with that of the corresponding period of 1857 wait a fall of from 112,666 to 97,703 tether., and of from 1.7571. 16s. 4d. to 1,66 i1.19e.24. in money, being a decline of 14,363 in the number of bathers. and • consequent lose of 2031. 17e. 2d. to the compsny. How ever by letting the swimming baths fur other purposes during the cold season, the directors expected to realize 11101. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said he wished to explain how ft° a:mummy tilted with respect to the Royal lintieh Bonk, in which, owing to there having been a branch in the neighbeurhood, they had formerly kept both a deposit and current ecconnt. 'rile day the bank broke the former amounted to 5001. and the latter to 1751. On that morning, however, hioneelf and another director of the company (Mr. H. Meudelny) bestow Pied some intimation of the rottenness of the concern drew out 1501., and they had since receiveti 13s. in the pound on the rest of their debt. Although he wee himself one of the asaigneee, he could not hold out to them great hope of their getting back much more of their money. On the whole, however. the company would not he expected lure more than 1001. The report was then adopted, and the dividend as recommended declared. DENSE lUG.-(T1IIS DAY.) REMARKABLE PHENOMENON. We have had another dense fog in the metropolis this morning,neceesitating the we of gas in the shops and sll pieces of business, and impeding traffic in every direction. About 10 o'clock a remarkable phenomenon was witnessed with great interest by thousands of persons. To the west ward of London the fog appeared to open, showing in the gap, which stretched across the hemisphere, a beautiful violet sky, from which fell a broad bright belt of light. It was altogether a remarkable sight, and, as seen from Waterloo bridge, its effect was most striking. The light spread woes the Themes, over Hungerford-bridge, and the tide being almost at the flow, the water wss illumined is by an electric reflector. All around and below the bridge wee darkness; hut, above, the outline of the river, with its floating craft, was rendered sharply deer by the rays streaming from the sky. The phenomenon was only of brief duration; the fog gradually closed up on each aide, shutting out the sky like a scene in a Christmas piece. As the morning advanced the fog descended, and it was only by the exercise of great caution that the traffic of the street could be carried on; indeed, in some pert, of the City end the East-end, it wee for a time suspended, while the 'tow boats on the river were compelled to cease running. At noon the fog cleared off, and the weather became fine mad seasonable. VICZOBLeI STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY• (THIS DAY.) This day, at noon, the first ordinary meeting of the proprietors of the above railway was held at the offices, Groat Game-street, Westminster, Mr. WILLI% ?I LEE in the chair. The following is the substance of the report " In presenting their first report to the proprietors, the directors are gratified to announce that the works have been commenced, and are in active program, as shown by the report of the engineer. Within a few weeks the treader of the Marquis of Westminster's property to the company will be completed, and the contractor will then, with one trifling exception, be put in possession of the land along the whole length of the line. The company are wider engagement to the Brighton Company to complete the undertaking by the end of June, 1860• and, considering the energy with which Mr. Kelk, the: con tractor, is pushing forward the works, the director* have every confidence that they shall be able to open the line and station to the public by that time. The proprietors have been called upon to pay up en un usually large proportion of the share capital, considering the short time which has elapsed since the passing of the act; but, Inasmuch as the nature of the works involved the simultaneous settlement of nearly every case of compensation on the line, it was necessary to make provision accordingly. The proprietors are already elven of the terms of the agree ments with the Brighton and East Kent compostss for the accommodation of their traffic; and the directors are ham to say that the latter company have commenced the wort on their Western Extension from Strood to Bromley, and intend to complete them by June, 1860, eimultansottely with the opening of the Victoria line, thus com pleting the through communication from the coast to the western districts of the Metropolis. Several schemes are proposed to be brought before parliament this year, having for their object the effecting of a communication between the Greet Western and London and North Western systems, and the Victoria station. Your directors, having given the subject careful consideration, and looking to the probability of one or other of the projected schemes being carried during the ensuing cession, have thought it advisable to apply to parliament for power to afford the additional accommodation which would oe required for the traffic ef thou companies. They have, therefore, deposited a bill (which will be submitted to the proprietors in due course) for powers to widen the line and bridge, and enlarge the station; but, with the intention of withdr awing it, should no arrangement satisfactory to this company be made for the use of ouch enlargement." The accounts showed that the balance at the banker's amounted to 140,6371.45. 6d., and that the cost of obtaining the act of incorporation, including law, parliamentary, tog'. neering, and of ioe expenses, was 7,7991. 18e. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the Input, expressed his belief that the company would be enabled to fulfill all its engagements, and that the project would prove highly beneficial to the shareholders. The balance in head might appear large, but it was expected that within a day or two 110,0001. of it would be absorbed in the completion of the Marquis of Westminster's contract. An additional 1,0001. would dose the cost of obtaining the act of incorporation, and on the whole It might be considered that the total was very low. Mr. J. ELOIR seconded the motion. A SHAREHOLDER said he was induced to take up shires in the undertaking of the prospectus that the project would Include an hotel. He was disappointed at finding no reference in the report to the hotel, end he should be glad to know if it bid been given up. The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative. The company had land suflkient to build the hotel, but it was possible that this land would be required fur the accommodation of the schemes now before parliament, and in the event some other land would have to be provided for the hotel, the plans of which were already prepared. Another SHAREHOLDER asked for .01110 information II to the distribution of the &hares, and the prospects of their coming into the market. The CHAIRMAN did not anticipate that they would ever appear in the market except at a premium, for oat of 67 600 shares the directors bad only 1,511 left. Those that remained were at the disposal of the shareholders. All the slum issued had been applied for and were exceedingly well held. The report was then adopted, and a resolution fixing the future remuneration of the directors at / 1 017 1 :- year, and awarding theta 6001. for their past services. The CHAIRMAN announced that Mr. Leo 13,huater sad Mr. T. W. Henderson had been appointed to represent the Brighton Company at the board. Mr. William Lee, Mr. John Direr, and Lieutenant-, Colonel Hadgate went re-elected directors; and Mr. P. P Blyth and Mr. G. WiU were elected directors. Messrs Ball and Holroyd wars re-appointed auditors, with a fee of 101. 104. each... _ . . . The proceeding. dosed with a Tote of thanks to the chairman. THE REPRESENTATION OP BANIM2RT.—In accord ance with the proposal made by Mr. Well, in his &damson Thursday evening, the 6th inn., that a ballot of the electors of the borough should be taken, in order to ascertain which of the three liberal candidates—Mr. Mi.ll, Mr. Samoalsm, and Mr. Serjeant Pigott—has the largest number of promisee of support, the committee of that gentlemen has welted upon Mr. Samuelson's committee, and laid the suggestioe before it.
