The Mouth African Irrigation and Investment Company, while meeting the wants most keenly felt at the present time by the South African Colonies, cannot fail to realise to its shareholders ample returns upon the capital. As a Land and Irrigation Company it will enter upon a meat ;vomiting Meld of operation& Large tracts of fertile soil along the rivers, and in the great Lome or plains of the country, ant to be pun:hived at very low pneea *Welk by Irrigation Works, Indaras, tanks, or waterleadings front rivers, may be converted, by so great outlay. into properties many times their original aline. The government returns fur 1000, of the value of landed estates in these colonies, show that where by private enterprise Irrigation works have been constructed on farms, the etduux meet of value has been from five to ten fold, and as such re sults have been achieved by private enterprise, yet more I,ft:- factory remits may be looked for where labour is more organised, is brought to bear. The Cum stay will not only purchase lands with a view to re sale after the constructioo of Irrigation works, but will take con tracts for the construction of like emit. upon government and private lands. It is known to be in coutemplation in next 'canon of the colonial parld.racnt to introduce a bill to facilitate the con struction of a series of government tanks, and to secure on the raintal employed in such works on government land, a govern ment guarantee of at least six per cent. per annum. A, a Public Works Company for the towns of South Africa, the pn epcet Is equally inviting. There ii scarcely a town of magnitude which is not now prepared to offer most liberal and remunerative terms to this Company, to become to it a consti tuted Water and Gas Comormy ; and Port Elizabeth Mow the toniteereial capital of all South reatern Africa) caused a bill to be introduced into last session of the eolonial parliament, charg ing the whole property of the town for $.80,000, to guarantee at ksat £s.ond per snows on outlay fur works for water supply. Thu Dircetot e feel that the present is a most favourable opportunity for the istablishment of a Company for Public Storks, and they ciattilmhy anticipate that they will be able to complete arranae rend 71 with the authorities at Port Elizabeth to become its Light inc.

Lougmao and Co. THE INTEILY4TIONAL XrHIBITION. The work of clearing out the interior has made very rapid progress during the last few days. On the English half of the building, both from doer and galleries, nearly everything has been removed, except, of noun, such massive objects as the Skidmore roodscreen or the granite obelisks, which still keep their places in the nave and trau- septa. Minton's fountain also remains intact, but, water leas and silent now, is quite in keeping with the odd, inanimate aspect of the whole interior. Most of the trophy cases are in process of removal. very many have gone ; even the timekeeper of the building and general rendezvous for meetings and appointments—Benson's great clock—has at last ceased to strike, and gene the way of all the other clo.ks With the general removal, how ever, the tine proportions of the building, thus seen cam rotatively clear for the first time, become more striking every day. On the foreign side, Portugal, Switzerland, Hamburg, Mecklenburg, and Bavaria have entirely de parted, and Austr'i'a atilt:Dahl show is only represented by a few costly articles which have been bought in this country hut not yet delivered.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1862. ITALY. THE " CONFIDENCE " DEBATE IN THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. (nom OCCASIONAL comaroaDarr.) TI MM, Nov. 21. The excitement of yesterday's and to-day's sittings ' of the Italian Chamber of Deputies is almost with- ' out a precedent in the parliamentary annals of this or any other country in Europe. The telegraph will no doubt have conveyed to you a summary of Rattazzi's speech, which was the great event of yesterday. The Italian Premier spoke for four hours with an easy, abundant, and dexterous fluency, which sometimes rose into real eloquence. But, alas ! he had a bad cause to,defend—a cause already condemned by the conscience of the nation. The House, as you may easily imagine, was full to suffocation, so full that it was impossible even for 1 1 ticket-holders to obtain a place in the galleries. The ministerial bench was, of course, au comptet. Rattazzi stood in the midst of his colleagues, calm, collected, and to all appearance, in different, like a man unconscious of the great storm raging around him, or unconcerned. He tams 'at • isids Wee the. member, as -beat sides of the Home, who had so violently attacked his administration on the two previous days. His speech went on smoothly enough until he ap proached the question of the arrest of the deputies, I Mordini, Calvin, and Fabrizzi. It was then that the uproar of the Left was aroused. Ever and anon the resonant voice of Baron Nicotera rent the air of the spacious hall, sustained and harmonised, so to speak, by an occasional chord from Crispi's powerful organ. It was a crams& of confusion— s. veritable Babel. To defend himself from the charge of having violated the constitution by arresting the three deputies, Rattazzi thought proper to read a confidential report from Ge neral Della Marmon. He was, however, so ex hausted that the house asked one of his colleagues to read the report for him. The Minister of Finance, Sella, rose and began to read it. This paper was written in a short, sharp, soldier like style, and the General's remarks on the three deputies were certainly never intended to be made public. After narrating the circum stances which had induced him to arrest MM. Mordini, Fabrizzi, and Calvin, Della Manners said that he had read with the deepest regret the protest made by some of his colleagues against that arrest , and that he blushed to think that he had those three gentlemen for his colleagues in the national repmentation. No pen can describe the sensation which the reading of these last words created in the Chamber. Almost all the honourable members left their seats, while an ominous groan, like the distant murmur of an angry sea, rose and fell and rose again. Rattazzi, however, came to the rescue of his indiscreet colleague, and tried to explain, if not to justify, Della Marmora'a words by saying that in the mind of the General those three deputies were " guilty " when he wrote the despatch, rand that he therefore applied them to men who, according to his belief, had acted against the oath of allegiance they had taken. Rattazzi's words appeased the storm a little, and the Premier was allowed to resumes his speech. Such are the main outlines of yesterday's sitting. As for to-day's, it has been scarcely leasexcitiug. To begin with, it was reported this morning that Gene ral Cialdini had arrived from Bologna to challenge Baron Nicotera, who in his yesterday's speech had attacked that general. It was, however, afterwards ascertained that such was not his intention. Cialdini entered the House late in the day, and no Allemge was sent The orators who spoke to day were Mordini, Calvino, Fabrizzi, and Cado lini. All spoke on personal questions, and in repli cation of points in Rattazzi's speech of yesterday. Baron Nicotera disclosed some interesting details of a conversation ho bad with Rattazzi before the latter's coming into power. To-morrow Mancini will speak on a personal question, so that it is doubtful whether itattazzi will be able to treat foreign affairs as he proposed to do. Judging by the length of yesterday's and to-day's speeches, it is scarcely probable that the House will come to a division before Monday. The division will in all probability result in a majority against Rat tazzi's cabinet. Whether that majority will be very large, it is impossible at this moment to tell. Since, however ' Cassini, Vegczzi, and Mingbetti have declared to vote against the Cabinet, Rat tazzi's political fortunes are decidedly at a very low ebb. Will Rattazzi venture to advise a dissolution of parliament 1 That is the question which the next few days will solve.

FIRE AT PETROLEUM OIL WORKS AT ROTH ER urna.—Great excitement was caused last night in the im mediate vicinities of Rotherhithe and Deptford, owing to a report that the Patent Petroleum Oil Works, belonging to Messrs. Itoosell and Co., in itotherhithe-street, were on fire. The fire commenced in a brick building used as one of the oil refineries. Adjoining this extensive building were a number of open yards and sheds piled with casks, At., and it was feared that the dames would have extended to those portions of the works. A number of steam and other en. Fines soon arrival, amid were set to work from the river Thames and from a tidal ditch, but such was the inflamma ble nature of the goods on the premises that a ainsiderable time elapsed before the brigade could do more than cut off the progress of the flames in the direction of the adjoining buildings. Before nine o'clock Captain Sbaw sent the principal portion of the engines borne to their respective stations, thereby allaying all found any further extension of mischief, and shortly afterwards the flames were entirely extinguished. The damage done , h ,is very couside- Table, sod is thus officially reported by Captain Shaw : " A brick builihug 70 feet long by 110, used as an oil re finery, burned down, and machinery damaged by fire? The origin of the misfortune has been traced to a leakage of one of the stills. Unfortunately the dock and plant ware un insured. Two other fires took place—one at Limehouse, and the other at Broad-street, Golden-square, but the damage at each was not very considerable. E CATTLE NI7IRANCE .—FATAL ACCIDENT. Yesterday evening an inquiry was held before Mr. H. Rattles Walthew, the deputy coroner, at the Rose and Crown Tavern, Wentworth-street, Whitechapel, respecting the cause of • series of accidents which have led to the death of Henry Middleton Sheen, aged one year, and it is believed will result in the deaths of two other persons. It appeared that a large drove of wild Welsh "runts" were being driven from Hackney Wick to Gulatone-street after 7 o'clock in the evening, and when they arrived st the Whitechapel-road it became necessary to drive them down a narrow turning. Several men and boys threw • chair across the passage, anti set up loud shouts, which caused the drove to take fright. One of the runts bounded over the chair and dashed along the street upon the foot pavement at • terrific pace, goring everyone it met. It rushed at a foreign Jew who was walking along with a child in his arms, and threw the latter on to the pavement with great force. The child was ' conveyed to the hospital, and little hopes are entertained of its recovery. Between three and four hundred men and boys followed the animal up the Whitechapel-road, render ing it perfectly furious by their hurrahs and blows. It tossed and gored several men and women, and rushing at • Miss Eliza Rus, who had the deceased, her cousin, in her arms, threw her and the child with fearful force on to the pavement. The child died from injuries to the brain, and the young woman bas not yet recovered from the shock to her system. The drovers bad the utmost difficulty in preventing the rest of the herd from giving way also to , panic, in which cane the consequences in the crowded streets would have been frightful. Ultimately, after great damage bad been done, three tame bullocks were procured, by means of which they got the wild animal into a yard. I coroner said it was a most dangerous proceeding to . drive wild animals which, agitated in the evidence, " bad never seen gaslight," through the crowded streets of the 1 metropolis, without any effectual means of restraining 1 them. A verdict of " Death by misfortune" was returned. LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY(LIIIITED). Trhaio receipts for the week ceding Nov. 23, 9,966 i, 4s. 7d. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

The meeting was very fully at tended. Mr. Stratton was called to the chair. Mr. Wil liams having reviewed at length the proceedings of parlia ment during the last session, and explained the part which he bad taken in them, touched upon the subject of finan cial reform, and said his practical experience in the House of Commons was that there was no sincere or earliest desire is that body for economy. He condemned the waste of money now taking place on fortifications ; and our nolo ninl possessions ought, he contended, to be self-supporting, and not to be a burden on ibis country to the extent of 3.000,0001. per annum. He next referred to the great dis tress existing in the manufacturing districts, arising oat of the unfortunate war in America, and which the whole country were doing their duty in alleviating, and sat down without giving any expression of his opinion on the Ameri can question. A resolution, expressing the entire confi dence of the electors in the hon. member, and their thanks to him for his conduct as their representative, was adopted.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, LIMY'S-INN-ROAD. —The auwaber of patients relieved at this hotpitd during the week 'adios Nov. 29 was 3,714, of Which 862 wore new cases. [Stamped, Id. Additionsl.l DRAMA. OLYMPIC. A alight - but lively comediettk adapted from the French by Mr. Walter Gordon, under the title of My Wife's Relations, was produced at this house last night with perfect moms. The characters, with the exception of two, which are raised into importance by the excellent acting of Mr. Horace Wigan and Miss Hughes, are mere sketches of well-known stage figures, including the inte resting cousins, the grumpy uncle, and the self-satisfied old maids. The plot of the trine is conveyed by its title. A young husband nada, to his dismay, that in marrying an interesting wife he has allied himself to a long line of her exacting relatives. When he is sufficiently annoyed by the grumpy uncle and old maiden aunts, who seize his house as if they were pot in possession for overdue rent, and when the attentions of a hectoring money-borrowing volunteer cousin to his wife become no longer bearable, be hits upon the plan of poising off a sister just arrived from India as a cousin and an old sweetheart, and completely turns the tables upon his annoyers. These materials are old, but they were brushed new again by the spirit of the actors. The old aunts were admirably pourtrayed by Mn. Leigh Murray and Mn.s Stephens, who made the most of their small share of dialogue, and left nothing to be desired in their eccen tric making up. Mr. Horace Wigan, who never fails in any character—who can make something out of nothing, and who is squally ag how fR Irauisa, ltiamilw, rural denim. law to aid men—gave sinfift esseolatemateMisat of a selfish careless volunteer dandy, whose impudence is only equalled by his vanity. Miss Hughes acted the part of the young wife with great spirit, and gave all the rapid changes of feeling and manner belonging to the character with her well-known skill and precision. Her performance made u regret that we see her so seldom in the bills of this Umtata. The other parte were well filled by Mr. W. Gordon, Mr. Rivera, Man F. Haydon, and Mrs. St. Henry. ADELPRI. The Adelphi has always been famous for farces which seize upon the prominent subject of the hour, and neither hotel nuisances, burglaries at Notting-hill, nor International Exhibitions have been allowed to pass by without being turndl into comic dramatic material. The increase of garotte robberies and the hypocrisy of ticket-of leave mon were sure, before long, to inspire an Adelphi dramatist, although at first sight it appears to be as diffi cult to extract fun from such unpleasant facts is sunbeams from cucumbers. The farce produced last night, under the title of A Tirka-of-Lcarc, has been expected, like an in crease in the family, and the happy father is said to be Mr. Watts Phillips. Descending gracef the high dramatic stool, and putting aside his tone l oTti7al philosophy, this popular dramatist has played nimbly with the practical " business "of farce, and given Mr. Toole another opportu nity of showing his power in depicting fantastic terror. As Mr. Aspen Quiver—a gentleman troubled with a ticket-of. leave butler, a Gabler bulldog who bites his master, and a fear of everybody and everything, either animate or in animate—this excellent and conscientious actor does his author good service. Mr.. Billington is well fitted with a part requiring energetic acting, to which she does full jus tice ; while Mr. Paul Bedford, as the sleek ticket of leave butler, and Mr. Stephenson. as a returned though innocent convict, have an important share in the action of the piece. The hour was rather late when it was produced, but it was well received ; and with a little tightening-in about the middle, may keep its place in the bills for a few foggy weeks. SPOETING INTELLIGENCE. THE TWO-YEAR-OLDS OF 1862 LETTER 1. TO THE EDITOR OF THE =MESS. SIR,—Now that the legitimate sports of 1862 have concluded, Mr. Merry having brought off the "bastard" meeting at Warwick after two postponements, we have seen the last of this year's 2-year-olds, three of them being attracted by • selling race on Friday last, in despite of the most dismal 11114 L doubtful weather, the fog and the frost between them very nearly putting an extin guisher on the meeting altogether. The season opened very differently at Lincoln on the 20th of February, the elements being unusually propitious, as for several weeks previously the weather was so mild and open that horses went to the post pretty well prepared, and for the first two.year-old stake, the Brock lesby, there were a baker's dozen of starters. There was nothing A 1 in the lot, the first three being Din Cheap, Vindicta, and Princess Louisa, and, in most instances, they coufirined their superiority throughout the season, although Marmion may give a better amount of himself next year, when he is nicely haadicapped. Ho managed to get placed by the judge for the Little John Stakes at Nottingham the following week, Princess Louisa (now gooe abroad) being only fourth ; but the winner, Livingstone, won with so much in band, that it was bard to determine whether Marmiou (third), Herdsman, the Princess, or Battery (fifth) was second beat, this lot; being undoubtedly the pick of the basket. Liviugitone, • descendant of Fandango and Margaret of Anjou, took the ring by storm the moment he was seen, as he appeared wonder. fully well set for • horse of such size, and it will be difficult to get him beaten next year over short distances, which Lord Stamford will have to confine him to, unfortunately, as be is • meet unmistakeable rarer. The Staunton Harold Stakes at Derby were contested by another numerous field, and Don't Come Late, a daughter of Ellington, managed to beat Herdsman, who did nut run over game, by a head, thus plainly showing there was nothing within • atone of Livingstone in the race. Liver pool was not so fortunate as either of the three meetings preceding, the Tyro, although a much richer stake than the Brocklesby, Little John, or Staunton Harold, producing but five runners,• and of these only the little Erythia was fit, she being eo much at home in the dirt that the race was over after they had gone two hundred yards. Blithtield and Oscar, however, improved during tho year, and neither will ever allow the filly, who FOOD went off, to beat them again, while the neat filly by Windhound out of Catherine Hayes, that has not been to public Mums would also turn the tables if ever they met again on fair ground. The Hopeful at Doncaster, that was once the 2-year-old event of the early spring meetings, was not mach better off than the Tyro at Liverpool, and the bib penalty could not stop Dirt Cheap, all her opponents being moderate except Bohemia and Avenger, who were so backward in condition that they could hardly be expected to win a five furlongs race against one so forward, notwithstanding which Bohemia made a rod fight of it. In the Betting-mom Stakes, Erythia met Dirt Cheap, and cut her down without an effort, the fact of the 3-year.old,Brahmin being only third,affordieg an example of what condition will do for homes moderately good. The Two-Year-old Stake' at Warwick was merely • repetition of the Little John at Nottingham, Livingstone carrying a 41b penalty, and again defeating Manion without an effort, Kennett (whose descent is uncertain) both Elcot and Lonp-garou having been pot to his dam, a Bey Middleton mare) finishing • good third, considering his backward condition, with the Derby heroine, Don't Come Late, fourth. Livingstone had previously defeated Dirt Cheap " in • walk" for a minor stake, and the performers in the other races are unworthy of mention. At Shrews bury Harmion met with no great opposition for the Members' Plate, which he won as he pleased ; and thee the illegiti mate meetings of the spring brought to light but one first cleas animal, .Livingstone, for, respectably as Dirt Cheap and Erythia performed, they Dever looked like training, and neither Bohemia, Kennett, Oscar, nor Blithfield was trained sufficiently to display their good qualities. all having subsequently shown themselves superior to either Itiu-inioo, Princess Louisa, Vindicta, Herdsman, Sentry, and Don't Coins Late, that comprise the best of the remainder. Northampton, as usual, fairly set the ball rolling, and many juveniles with good reputations assisted at the meet ing. a couple opposing the eight three-year-olds for the Whittlebury, and running second and third to the three year-old Biondella, who had such an advantage in the chit, and a 51b. allowance, that her defeat of Blue Mantle would ham been nothing surprising bad be run fit, which he cer tainly did not, the diminutive &mita, who went over the ground like a hare, fairly beating him for second place, owing to her splendid condition. Sanita came out again next day for a 20 son. sweepstakes, and defeated Judea, • useful-looking colt of Mr. Parr's, pretty cleverly, Falcon showing such • disinclination to face the atm ting flag that be was left too far behind ever to have a chance, and thus lost the opportmiity of proving whether his form was equal to big looks, which were superior to either of his opponents. A splendid field contested the Althorp Park Stakes ; and among the runners were Erythia. Dirt Cheep (both penalised bib), and Bohemia, who bed distinguished themselves before, but so highly had Caritas (a stable companion of Livingstone) been tried that at the close of the betting odds were laid on her against the remaining fourteen " without compunction," a oonfieence that was not misplaced, as she won with the greatest ease, moving through the heavy ground with as great • relish as Erythia, who finished second. Villafranca, Bohemia, and Revolver, all finished before Blue Mantle, the three bong noticed for their good looks, as were also Lady Superior and the Naomi filly ; and each gained a reputation afterwards, with the exception of lady Superior, whose day may not have arrived yet, for I can hardly believe in the &irate exhibitions of such • racing -like fill Ceristha, we ertheleas, was decidedly the best in the fiel d, and for perfec- (TWOPENCE Ron of shape her equal is seldom seen, she being a worthy companion of Livingstone, who is built oar somewhat larger male. At Grortou-park Erythia first showed signs of falling off, the 3-year-old Zelle never giving her a chance, and we had quite • afresh lot to contest the old Two-Year old Stakes at Epsom Spring, the Orphan and King of Utopia proving themselves a long way the superiors of their ten opponents, of which neither Golden Dust nor Bateman were ripe enough to show in their true colours, while Royal Stag, Oentilhommo, and Lady Superior, good as they were, had to suffer defeat on their to," its. The Orphan was not thought so much of beforehand except by a select few, who " knew the trial," as she its only • descendant of the unknown Fregmore, a well-bred horse enough, being • son of Toatone, but rendered unfit for racing purposes owing to an accident that betel him when two years old ; and the King of Utopia, though equal to her in looks, wanted more time before he could hope to win in such company. For the New Two- Yeer-old &ekes, W. Day brought out a colt just good enough to beat the Orphan, called Muezzin, the filly's 51b penalty being rather too much for • three-quarters-d-a mile race, especially as she was not ridden with much judg ment, to which many good judges attribute her defeat. Re volver finished very close to the pair, and Le Mancha', con sidering he was not so fit es either of his opponents, did wonders to finish • good fourth, although there we.= nothing behind him of any note. After • fortnight's rest the game was resumed at head.quarten cn Easter Monday ; but there is no good stake for the juveniles ever put into a Craven week's programme, sad few good bones met.

Muezzin did not do sufficient with t heOrphan andßevolver to be made • favourite ; and except Livingstone the beet two-year-olds we maw up to the end of April consisted of Cerintha and the Orphan. Nevertheless, besides those who figured in public before the legitimate season opened, we saw some bones of the useful sort in Sanita, Judea, VilLfranca, Revolver, Muezzin, King of Utopia, Vivid, Tornado, Le Mancini, &paned% Borealis, and Trump Queen, not jos getting the promising Blue Mantle, Falcon, lady Superior, the Naomi filly, Golden Dust, Bateman, Royal Stag, Gentili boinme, and Fanfaron ; and • better lot of two-year-olds, on the whole, has never bees seen in public before the Two Thousand week.—! am, Sm., METEOR.

BIRMINGHAM. MONDAY EVENING. Both these shows opened this morning. Long before mid-day Biogley-ball was densely crowded, amongst the visitors there being the aristocracy and county families from all parts of the county. The dog show aeemcd to be even more ►ttractive, possibly from its novelty. The place where the animals are penned is spacious, but evidently nut nearly sufficiently so for the accommodation of the crowds who flocked to it, which is no matter for surprise, looking at the interesting character of the exhiistiou, in eluding, as it does, so huge a proportion of the varieties of the canine species. The show of cattle was pronounced by all competent judges to be one of the finest ever witnessed, and the deci- Mons of the judges have given general satisfaction. The drawing of the design for the President's Cup for the best animal shown, being bred by the exhibitor, has been made by Mr. Harrison Weir, for Messrs. 3fapplebcck and. Lowe, of Birmingham, to whom the order for it has been entrusted. The Shropshire sheep were the subjectof geneml commen dation ; scarcely lees so was the show of Berkbhire pigs— one or two of which from a prize pen, the proper ty of Mr. Owta, of the Qttball'S Hotel, Birmingham, were purchased for almost a fabulous price. The collections of seeds and roots formed this yaw one of the most interesting features of the exhibition. Last evening, at Surrey Chapel, the Rev. Newman Hall, in a lecture to upwards of 2,000 working men and others " On Passing Events," said that the recent election moonier of the democrats in America revealed a formidable opposition to the emancipation or republican party. The de mocrat. were for carrying on the war as much as the others, only they would preserve the " domestic institution "of the South.
