This Company, after much consideration, and a full convict:on of its importance to India, was projected early in last year, and ac cordingly registered on the 27th, and publicly advertised as such on the 28th of March, 1857. The directors subsequently entered into communication with the iloh, Court of Directors of the East India Company. by whom the Matter was referred to the Supreme Government for their report. Tranquillity being now, it is hoped, happily restored in India, this report ma be soon expected. The directors were desirous to postpone the issue of shares until after the meeting of Parliament, when the nature of the bill about to be introduced by her Majesty's Government would have been made known. But, having already taken several preliminary steps, and it being of the utmost importance to be prepared to obtain an Act of Parlia ment In the ensuing session, empowering the Company to avail themselves of the guarantee which may be conceded, the directors fled that the time has arrived for bringing the project before tho public. OBJECT OF THE COMPANY. The object of this Company is is afford railway communication to the important provinces of Southern India, lying to the south of the exibting Madras Railway, including Tanjore, Tritchinopoly, Madura, Tinnevelly, Coimbatore, Salem, and Travencore, being the most po- Pulous and fertile districts in the Madras Presidency. Beginning at the south, it is proposed that the line should run from the Port, of Tutacorin to Madura, thence to Tritchinopoly; from which town it would branch on the one hand to the east, through Tanjore to Nagore on the Coromandel coast, and another line leave Teitchinopoly - in a north-westerly direction, forming a junction with the Madras Railway near to the town of Salem. Tutacorin, which will be southern port, is already a place of con siderable importance ; this will, however, be greatly increased when the intention of Government to deepen the eaumben channel be tween Ceylon and the main land has been carried out, and the Steamers from England to India are able to take that route instead of going round by Point de Galle. Passengers will then land at To teeerin, and take the railway tor Madras and the interior, and save at least two days' sail. The proposed railways will connect Ceylon and its trade with the great trunk lines passing throughout India. The districts of Madura and Tinnevelly are well suited for the growth of cotton, large quantities being already produced there, for Which the harbour of Tutacorin has become an emporinm. There can be no doubt- that the increased means of communication which this railway will afford, and the consequent introduction of English capital and skill will rapidly develop the growth of this article to an Unlimited extent, an object in which the Government and the people of England are deeply interested. Tanjore is celebrated for its fertility, for the extraordinary quan tity of rice which it produces, and the comparative wealth and com fort of its inhabitants. The "Gazetteer" of India, published by authority, state/ that " this district is excelled in fertility and pro ductiveness by none in. India, and equalled by few, except some rich tracts In the Valley of the Ganges." The equalisation of the price Of the staple food of the people is the surest criterion of a nation's Prosperity ; and the immediate tendency of a railway through this wide and well watered plain in effecting this - object must render i t Proportionably remunerative. Salt, that primary necessary to the Ink tbitants of India, the price of which is at present enormously en haneedby the expense of carriage, will be conveyed by the proposed line at a greatly reduced cost. This article alone must form a very important element of railway traffic. Bo manifest is the necessity for a railway from Tritchinopoly to the sea, through Tanjore, that the Government of Madras caused a surrey to be made in the year 1855 which was sent home to the Go vernment in this country with a very strong recommendation that it Should be undertaken at once. The country is perfectly flat, and there are no difficulties in the construction, further than making Provision for the irrigation necessary in so rich a country. The population of the districts, which will either entirely or in part be served by this Railway, is as follows : CoimbatOre • • • • . • 1 , 1 5 3 , 662 Salem • • .. .. 1,195,377 Tritchinopoly , • 709,196 Tanjore .. • • .. .. 1,676,086 Tinnevelly •• •• .• 1,2 9,216 Madura .. .. 1,756,791 being, in round numbers, eight millions of people. The total length of line contemplated is about 300 miles, the cost Of which long experience in the country enables the engineer to 'tate will not exceed 7,0001. a mile, including rolling stock. The estimate of We Government officer for the railway through Tanjore teas much lower. •It is proposed in the-first instance, however, to limit the opera tions of the Company ;o the constriction of the line from Tritchi topoly to Nagore, a length of about 70 miles, leaving the engineers time to select carefully the best route from Tutacorin to Tritchi nopoly and Salem, with such branches as may be necessary for the Steernmodatlea of districts through which the line will pass. The line proposed is an integral part of the $3 stem of railways in the coarse of construction In India ; and, besides, being in itself of great importance, will be most valuabl e as a feeder to the Madras Railway. This company will only be proceeded with upon being placed on the same footing in regard to a guaranteed rate of dividend as other Indian railway companies and should this indispensable condition not be effected, the deposit of 2s. per share will be returned, less the expenses which shall have been incurred. Applications for shares may be sent to the brokers, Messrs. R. and J.' button, 22, Royal Exchange, in the annexed form ; bat no application will be considered unless a deposit of 2s. on each share ap plied for is previously made to the Union Bank of London. The de posit will be returned if the application is not acceded to. Mut OP APPLILATION FOR SHARES. N.B.—This must be presented to the bankers entire. The appli cant will retain the receipt at foot, and forward the letter when marked by the bankers, to the Company's offices.

To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by nrinaryexamination, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases.; BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Memtier of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decaytit alLstages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the h.alth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Irinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with cut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of incoasiderato self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

STAMPRD 5E3.3 THE ROYAL WEDDING. The interest which the public take iu all that appertains to the marriage of the Princess Royal proceeds from the kindest motives ; and aiding them to fathom the little mysteries with which it is surrounded is not pandering to idle curiosity, but showing a companionship in their sympathy, and good wishes towards the Princess Royal. The medal which is to be struck to commemorate the royal nuptials has been entrusted to the skill and good taste of Mr. Leonard C. Wyon, who has most creditably acquitted himself in this work. It is to be of gold, silver, and bronze, one of which will most likely be sent after the marriage ceremony to each of the distinguished visitors. The medal is two-and-a-half inches in diameter, and of cniei derable thickness. The obverse represents the por traits of the Princess Royal and Prince Frederick William, both remarkable likenesses, the former wearing a wreath of orange blossoms, roses, dm, with the inscription—Victoria, Princess Royal of England ; Frederick William, Prince of Prussia. Thereverse contains awreath of lilies, roses, myrtle, and jasamine, with the inscription, January 25th, 1858. The most prominent flower is the rose ; the jasmine and myrtle taper off at the ends with light ness and ele fiance. The wreath is bound together with ribbon. The value of the gold medal is more than 40/. The costume which her Majesty will wear at the marriage of the Princess Royal and Prince Frederick William will be of peach colour mDir6 antique, with Honiton lace flounces and peach velvet train, the lace flounces being the same which the Queen wore at her own wedding. The bridal eostumb of the Princess Royal will, we understand, be of a rich white moire antique ; the lace dress of exquisite Honiton guipure, con sisting of three flounces, the body being trimmed to match. The veil will Co of Honiton guipure lace, which will be worn in a style completely novel in this country for bridal costume, and will be attached to the head with magnificent Moorish or Spanish pins. The dress and veil are splendidly worked— ' the emblem being the rose, shamrock, and thistle. The latter has employed fifty girls for the last 12 months. This new style of veil was entirely her Majesty's suggestion, and the carrying out of the idea has met the approbation of the Queen. The cost of this production will be about GOO/. We understand that Signor Costa has submitted an ode of his own composition to the Prince Con sort, for the approval of his royal highness, and that it will be produced at Buckingham Palace, on the evening of the royal marriage, under the direction of Signor Costa, by the private band of her Majesty. The vocal solos will be entrusted to Mdlle. Clara Novelle and Mr. Sims Reeves, so that the remark that the foreign distinguished visitors will not have an opportunity of hearing English native vocal talent of the first class is happily incorrect. ST. JAMES'S PALACE AND CHAPEL. A visit to St. James's Palace and Chapel on Friday afternoon enables us to give the latest details of the preparations which are making for the royal mar riage. The nuptial cortege will approach St. James's Palace by the usual drawing-room rotate. In front of the garden door a spacious portico, forty yards long, has beau erected, covered in at the sides, and lined with red cloth. The old door of the palace has been considerably enlarged. This entrance will be reserved for the use of her Majesty and royalty. A window on each side has been converted into a doorway, through which the suites will enter, and meet her Majesty at the foot of the staircase. The so-called ministers' room on the left, and Maid of Honour's room on the right will not be used. The staircase has been re-gilt, and gilding introduced in the balustrades. HerAajesty's retiring-room is on the left on ascending this stair case, and has been entirely re-decorated, the style differing in every a espect from the other apartments, being of cream colour, picked out with gold. The royal cortege will, however, pass to the right through the throne-room, and what is generally known as Queen Anne's room : to these apartments but little has been done beyond giving them a good cleansing. At the end of the latter a number of seats, rising one above another, has been erected for the accommodation of those among the nobility who have been invited to witness the procession ; the passage through the armoury and the tapestry room is lined with similar seats, covered with scarlet cloth and trimmed yellow. On the staircase which descends to the passage to the court-yard there has been a number of mirrors introduced, which, though triflingly detracting from the architectural effect, will be a welcome meeting to those who desire to take a last, fond, look at the effect of their costumes. The passage at the end of the flight leads into the spacious courtyard, a portion of which is covered in and fitted with seats. The building bas a very substantial and elegant appear ance, the stone pillars being, by a magical process familiar to the painter, converted into marble for the occasion, the light colour assorting well with the crimson fittings. The whole will be heated; so that although this now room is won from the court• yard there need be no fear of suffering from any in clemency of the weather. The chapel now assumes a much more finished aspect—the seats are arranged in their final posi tion, and covered with scarlet ; the pillars painted blue, surmounted with gold shields, with V.R. and the crown. The pulpit, not a very necessary ad junct to the ceremony, but which cannot be re moved altogether, valuable as is the space, is now placed in a recess at the extreme right end. The place destined for the press is at the back of the rOw of benches on the right hand on entering„ There is room for about ten, so that the hopes of a vast number must be disappointed. We hear that-ap plications have poured from the provincial and foreign press, as also from that of the metropolis ; but those who aro to be eyes for the nation, and eloquent tongues to the world, will be la creme de la creme. I t was a matter of debate whether or not the press should be required to attend in court dress, but with correct judgment, and perhaps an appreciation of the sensitiveness of some of the journalists at being in curtly costume--which they might feel as an attempt to put their pen into royal harness—the gentlemen may attend in black, though they will have a very verdict giving-aspect. The door of the chapel will be covered.with a scarlet carpet, and will be entirely appropriated to the! royal cortege, the illustrious visitors and their! suites. The altar will be of crimson velvet, on which will be the royal communion service, of gold plate. Thera is a low rail of oak round the altar, the supporters of which will be of gold, the whole of the top being covered with crimson velvet. It is presumed that the Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate, and be assisted by the Bishop of London, notwithstanding that the latter is dean of the chapel. Sir G. Smart will preside at the organ. The at testation of the royal marriage will take place in the throne room. The royal attestation book is in the keeping of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and is a curious memento, containing witnessing for cen turies past.—Court Journal.

Address, G. Thomas, Esq., Craven House, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The power of hunger began to be felt and its effects to show themselves ; petty inroads were nightly made into the colony. The weary frontier farmer was roused from his rent only in time to find his stock swept away by a troop of naked savages, and left his borne for a more safe retreat, only too glad to find his family still pre served to him. Escorts were attacked on the public tends ; travellers plundered and murdered, and many other atrocities committed, such as would in former times in themselves have formed a cause of war ; every thing showed that a crisis was at hand, and every one nerved himself for the result. At this period one false step, one hasty movement would have plunged this country again into war ; capital and blood would again have been expended, without any other result than had before occurred, but Sir George Grey, firm in his purpose of forbearance, strong in the belief that their own measures would more effectually destroy the power of the Caffres than any armed inter ference of his, abided his time. The Caffre inroads were promptly repelled, criminate when arrested were dealt with by the civil power, property was protected by the judicious distribution of the troops, and quietly and calmly he waited the proph e t' s spe ll to work their doom. The next predicted day arrived, and with its end howl ing and despair were heard over all Caffreland. The un happy wretches too late saw their folly, and the chiefs too late found their mistake, for the warriors, emaciated by hunger an d l ong watching, were unable to ta k e th e field, and th a t which they anticipated would have b een their stepsing-stone t o wea l t h an d supre me power be came, as if by magic, their utter destruction. For a few d ays great excitement preva il e d , f or th e prophet had di sappeared. The troops were k ept i n a state of con s t ant readiness ; but hunger began to ta k e effect, and, fe e li ng their own hopeless misery, the Caffres threw thems e l ves on their foes, not to exterm i nate an d destroy, but f or h elp and mercy, and they who ha d b u t a few days bef ore b reathed nothing but destruction hum bl y and abjectly sought food for themselves and l i tt l e ones . And their appeal was not in vain ; upwards of 25,000 have been received within the colony, and are allowed to work for their food • but, dre a df u l to relate, more than double that numb er are supposed to have per i she d f rom hunger. The Caffre race i s a l mos t ex tinct, and the land is desolate, and the last G aze tt e , b r i ng ing information of the pathetic app ea l of ICreli, their great chief, to the Governor, to save hie wives and little ones from star vation, and offering his eternal adherence to the British Government, and of the formal surrender of Sandilli of his chieftainship, proves th a t thi s fearful visitation has now reached th e i r highest and noblest, and t h at f or the present the pr ospect of peace for this colony i s most promising. Ther e are those mho declare that the Caffres will again re-embody themselves, and that after they are strengthened and enriched by the humanity of the colo nists they will again endeavour to overcome them ; but this must be a work of time, and while they are gaining strength so are we, while their children are growing to manhood our numbers are being increased by emigra tion,and should th e t i me again arrive when the Caffre think himself strong enough to re-establish his national polity he will .find the c o l on i s ts better than ever a ble to protect their own. however, this cann o t b e for some years, and it is most satisfactory that this colony, which has cost England so muc h money, and requires so many troops, can at this particular juncture spare safely ahno s t every soldier. The Volunteer Cape Corps, th e Burghers, with t h e German Legion, are more than a match for any e ff or t that could possibly be made to disturb the peace of the colony ; and were this latter body of men recruited and kept up in like manner as the frontier troops in Hun gary are organised , th e y would be a su ffi c i ent pro t ec tion for all frontier p ur p oses, and effectually preven t those heavy requirements o f Royal troops w hi c h h ave hitherto caused so much expense and incon ven i ence.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Jan. 9. A VE&SEL ON FIRE.—A good deal of excitement was created here this morning by its being reported that there was a ship on fire in the harbour. It proved to bo the schooner Mary, of Fowey, which had taken in a cargo of bark in Brading harbour, and had anchored in Cowes Roads. Soon after 10 o'clock a.m. the crew discovered her to be on fire, and hailed some other vessels near to send their assistance. Capt. Broad, of the Stag, revenue cutter, immediately put off with his boat's crew, as did the captain of the Camilla with his. The schooner was run into the harbour, and grounded on shrape sand. One of the town fire-engines was sent off in a carriage boat, with a number of hands with buckets, &0., and a great body of water dis charged on the burning mass. Carpenters were also set to work to scuttle the vessel. The Messrs. White sent three boats full of men and a fire-engine from their ship-yard, which was soon in full play under the superintendence of Mr. Hamilton White, but it was not till after three hours' hard work that the fire was effectually extinguished. During the whole of this time the captain of the schooner did not make his appearance. A vessel loaded with bark also took fire at Barsledou, and was obliged to be scuttled to save her. The cargo was, of course, spoilt. DIED.—On the 9th inst., at Trafalgar House, West Cowes, Mrs. Sarah Goodwin, aged 80. Mrs. Goodwin built and endowed Trinity Church.

THE POST-OFFICE DEAD-LETTER ROOM.—We learn 1 with much satisfaction that at length the icy heart of Rowland Hill has melted, thawed by our remonstrances, and that something has been done to convert the dead letter icehouse of St. Martin's-le-Grand into a habitable apartment. Hot-water pipes have been laid on, and the officials can now do the dead-letter business without being frost-bitten or turned into icicles. An improve ment in the ventilation and atmosphere of this large room is still a desideratum, and we hope that the all-p owerful S ecre t a ry will not disdain to lo o k t o that little bit of useful reform.—Civil SCMCI Gazette.

This exhibition, which will etsntinue -- Open for the first three daes of the week, is perhaps tie largest and best that his ever been held in Eng. llind.. It exceed.; the show of last 57e - afe remarkable es that wars both for the number and quality of-the herds it contained, by no fewer than 242'pens 'the tail number of entries up to Saturday being:l,46l3, whilst the list of exhibitors includes theerameli of 41 the principal fanciers and breeders or piniltry i4a the kingdom. This magnificent dollection nem- - • - pies the greater portion of the south wing of the :. Palace, and is classified in a m anuer admirably efs I ciliated to facilitate the inspection of the birds by A ' huge body of spectators. The pens are arranged along either side of a series of wide avenues, thr ough which a constant stream of visitors can freely cire ciliate, the spectator being enabl, d. t o linger at par ticular spots to examine those of the encooped can didates for his notice whose fine condition, sym metrical proportions, or beauty of plumage make them excel even where all are so worthy of attsn-. tion. On his arrival at the Palace terminus the . casual visitor is not lett long to guess at the nature of the scene which awaits him. " Cock-a docdle doo 1" in every note of the poultry geintit; afid its . all itspossible combinations, assails histympanuni as - le passes the pay-table ; and the perfect chorus front the throats of a-thousand lusty chanticleers which greets his further advance may indeed be delectable music to' the enthusiastic fancier of Brahniepoo tras, Cochin-Chinas, and Andalusians, but to the uninitiated is—to speak mildly—certainly not the most attractive feature of so admirable an ex hibition. The birds are nothing disconcerted at the novelty of their situation as the observed of all - observers. On the contrary, they seem, proud of the distinction, and invariably repay the notice taken of them by a crow unusually shrill and ear piercing. The poultry is divided into 60 classes, of. which the bird: of Spanish breed form 3, the Dorldngs 5, the Cochin-Chinas 7, Brahmapootras 3, Hamburgs 10, &e. The specimens exhibited in the various groups afford evidence of a decided improvement, as compared with last year, in the breeding and rearing. Three seta of prizes, and in some instances four, are awarded by the judges for each variety ; - the first set I eing offered for the best pen, coneiet- - 1 ine of a cock and two hens, above one year old ; the second, for chickens of the present year e and the third, for the best cock of any age. The . precedence in the collection is given to Spa nish fowl, which certainly deserve their pre-emi nonce ; the specimens in all the three classes being exceedingly good, and far more numerous than in the previous year. A cock and two hens, contri buted by Mr. Botham, of Slough, carried off the first prize, the second being awarded to Mr. Busst, sun., of Walsall. The first prize Spanish cock (third class), was immediately bought for 101. The Dorkings are ids-) well represented, and exemplify great progress iu breeding. A fine single Dorking dock, the winner of the first prize, and the pro- Perty of Mr. Lingwood, of Needham Market, was purchased by Sir Joseph Paxton for 10 guineas. The white Dorkings exhibited were excellent in quality, but not so numerous as the coloured. On the whole this old England breed admirably main tains its ground against its foreign rivals, and makes to the full as good a figure in the collec- ' tion as the Cochin-Chinas, Brahmapootras, and other exotic species which lately threatened to throw our indigenous poultry irretrievably into the shade. Indeed, one prominent feature of the pre 'tent exhibition is the large proportion of table fowl it comprises, the pens of Dorking outnumber ing those bf any other species. ! At the same time the Cochin-Chinas make no mean show. The cinnamon and buff specimens of this class displayed great excellence, the best birds being a pen sent by Mr. Fookes, of Bland ford, which gained the first prize given for a fowl over one year old. For chickens of 1857 the palm f excellence was awarded to the Rev. George Gil pert, of Norwich, whose birds (a cock and two pullets) were sold for 10 guineas. The brown and partridge-feathered Cochins over one year old, though not numerous, were also very superior, the younger birds of the same category being wonder fully developed for their age. The white Cochins are likewise worthy of special notice. The next division, the Brahmapootras, mustered in unusual force, and comprised some exceedingly heavybirds. A very handsome and well-formed . pen of this class over one year old, belonging to Mr. G. Botham, of Slough, carried (sir the first prize. Game-fowl, too, in all their varieties furnish to the feathered array a strong contingent of remark able beauty. Indeed, the judges, Messrs. Andrews, ißaily, and Hewitt, pronounce the " duckwings" 'the very best that have ever yet been exhibited. 'The game cocks are very numerous and very belli cose looking , and although cock-fighting is now an !obsolete and forbidden sport, yet in casting his eye ;round the narrow coops of these little feathered :gladiators the thoughtful spectator cannot help spe culating on the enaangnined scenes which wsauld • longue were they once let loose upon eachother and 'their pugnacious propensities aroused. Prizes in this 'class were awarded to Mr. J. Martin anti Mr. J e • Mousey. The Hamburgs, in all their numerous varieties of gold and silver pen cillings, and gold and -silver spangles, occupy an important place iu the collections, their gracefulness of form and the delicate markings of their plumage attracting crowds of admirers. The prc-eininence in this department belongs to the specimens contributed by Messrs. Hawksley, Clayton, Archer, the Rev. T. Fellows, and others. Next in order comes the Polish fowl in its several varieties of "black, with white crests," of "gold coloured," and " silver." The magnificent tufts which adorn the full-grown cock birds of this class render them - stfsking objects in such an exhibition. The specimena furnished by Mr. G. Greenall, jun., and Mrs. Pettat are particularly distinguished. The Matte's wece tolerably numerous, the chickens preponderating over the mat urer birds, while of the old Normandy fowl, the Creve-Cceurs, but four pens Were exhibited. An equal number of " silky ' negroes," a singular variety, claimed attention for the dusky hue of their skin and bones, strongly contrasting ' with the snowy whiteness of their glossy plumage. AnOng the scarcer specimens in the other divisions are a few black Hamburgs, white Polish, Sultans, and Andalusians—the latter a large well-formed species, with slate-coloured plumage. Some Calcutta jungle fowl and a few Indian and Shanghai game birds are more interest ing for their rarity than their beauty. Bantams of all descriptions are abundant, the collection being enriched with some of the finest birds of this class ever seen. The geese are deficient in numbers, but excellent in quality, and of great weight; while the ducks are remarkable for fineness of plumage and hugeness of bulk. Some of these web-footed gentry are perfect monsters in obesity, whose awkward at tempts at locomotion on common or green sward would be pitiable to behold. The turkeys are also large, and reflect credit on their good feeding. The collection of pigeons is exceedingly good, and twice as large as that of last year. Here croppers, carriers, dragons, tumblers, trumpeters, short-faced mottles, short-faced baldheads, short faced beards, barbs, turbits, &c., are displayed in all their bewildering and endless vari e ty , o t th v : whole forming, according to . the . auty . i any of ev tl; r e jbuedfogrees,wait fi nneessreedx.hibition o pigeons odi th cal eir sh o o w w n s thandictum i c s o u ce r;on., anti thPrA can be little doubt, from the r m i v a a i t e n objects persons improvep er i completeness and general excellence of nth year's • " t O o n e e n o a f bl t e h e p exhibition, that that laudable end will be materially promoted.

The license bad been refused to be renewed to the late manager at the last annual licensing day, on which occasion a report was presented to the magistrates by the police authorities, showing that the theatre was principally frequented by the youth of both sexes from 12 to 16 years of age, between whom and the actors en the stage remarks freely passed, and that some risk of fire in the building was occasioned by the audience indiscriminately smoking. It was now con tended that whatever the past management might have been, a recurrence would be avoided by the presen lessee, a Mr. Edmunds, who was determined, if possible to render it a fit and acceptable place of entertainmen for the public. This it was urged was all that the magi*. trates could legitimately ask for, and that if the sureties offered were unexceptionable, they had na jurisdiction but to grant the licence. Mr. Flathers, the freeholder of the theatre, next addressed the bench upon the injury he was sustaining by the licence being withheld. Memorials in opposition to the application were received from the Rev. Dr. Sketchley, - Vicar of Deptford ; the Rev. B. S. Ffinch, Rector ; the Rev. C. F. S. Money, and other clergymen and inhabitants, Mr. Brown, the principal of I a public school in the neighbourhood of the theatre, re marking to the magistrates that the individual' who Win seeking the licence, so far from being a new tbeetilm' manager in the neighbourhood, had been the gn of the theatre previously.
