The plan of this Company offers considerable and peculiar advan tages to the sharek dders. In addition to the profit arising from Life Assurance transactions, it is proposed to raise a capital of 1,00 ,0001. or upwards by the grant of Tontine Annuities in classes, to be regu lated by the ages of the subscribers or their nominees, which capital, on the death et the survivor in each class, will be divided exclusively among the shareholders. The principle of the Tontine Annuities is as follows:—If 1,000 per sons stthscribe 1001. each, they or their respective nominees, being of an age to enter the class, from 45 to 50, at which the Annuity would be about 6/. per cent., each subscriber or nominee will, during the coniinuance of all • the lives, receive an Annuity of 61. ; but as the lives drop, tie Annuity of the deqeased parties will be divided amongst the survivors until they are reduced to six, each of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life; but as they respectively die off, the 1 0001. which he or she received will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shate holders. • The classes containing younger lives will receive a lower rate of annuity ; the older a higher rate. This mode of investment, while it sill afford ample funds for the promotion of Life Assurance transactions, will further enable the Company to guarantee to persons borrowing money upon approved security, and effecting a policy of assurance, to be assigned as a collateral security, that so long as the interest on the money lent and the premium on the policy regularly paid, the money lent shall not be c-lled in till the precise amount accrues by the failure of the life assured. • Applications for shares and prospectuses to be made to Mr. Charles Edmonds, Stock and Share Broker, Sun-court, Cornhill ; and Mr. Charles Barker, at the Temporary Offices. 46, Lincoln's Inn-fields.

TIMES.—The Public Securities have again advanced, and Consols, for the Account, were done in the earlier hours of business at 97 1 / s . It is understood the jobbers " prepared the market" (to use a technical phrase) for the appearance of the Chancery broker, who was expected as a purchaser. He, however, did not come forward, and hence several of the speculators effected sales to realise the profit of the late rise. Considering the advance in the value of Consols during the last few days to have been nearly two-and-a-half per cent., it is not surprising that we should find parties desirous of closing their transactions t o secure the p rofi t they have se was very steady at ,rehhoawseesvelrik, like those of Wednes day end Thursday were aga in made, p rice s must go higher. r th ea e d e i l l3 o r s eobotfaibnuesdi.nes T s, he an m d a i r f k p e u t There was a demand for bills upon Hamburgh to-day, which rather depressed the rate of exchange upon that place. Paris, Vienna, and Trieste were, on the contrary, rather higher 'than last post; and for Holland and Belgium the prices remained about the same. The following letter was sent to-day to the Treasury by the East India and China Association : " My Lords,—The non-arrival of the Bombay mail up to this time, and the little probability of its now reaching Lon don until after the outward mail to India is dispatched to morrow, force upon us the necessity of drawing your parti cular attention to our letter of the sth ult. " But for the accidental circumstances of an Austrian steamer being at Alexandria, Government would have been at this moment in ignorance of the military operations going on in India ; and the disappointment to the mercantile com munity by the want of promptitude in bringing on their letters is widely and deeply expressed. We therefore again beg to impress upon your Lordships' attention the necessity of some arrangement by which such delay may in future be avoided, and nothing occurs to us more advisable than having a steamer to run direct between Alexandria and Marseilles.—We have the honour to be, &c., "GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman. " S. GREGSON, Deputy Chairnrali.,. " To the Right Hon. the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury." Some speculators of the higher class are reaping an ex cellent harvest from the unfortunate clients of the Accountant- General, the depositors for railways. Having had the sa gacity.to foresee that the sums committed to his custody must shortly conic out again for investment, they took their .measures accordingly, and while -the money-market was under continued strain and pressure through the efforts of the railway companies to obtain ba# notes for their depo sits, these parties regularly bought CO.sols for time, and find themselves now in possession of a large amount of stock, which they can dispose of at a great profit to the broker of the Court of Chancery, acting for the depositors. These unfortunate persons are therefore a butt for all to aim at, and as regularly victimised as it is possible to be. Whether they:have to buy or to sell, all their trans actions are known before they take place; and their business beim); confided to a public officer, who has no discretion in making contracts, they are sure uniformly to pay the highest and to receive the lowest price of the day. We have heard it stated that when these railway deposits first began to accumulate in this department, and the atten tion of the public was drawn to the mode of doing business, some increase of activity was manifested, and orders to re invest were actually obtained in three days after the certifi cate was received; but this could not long be kept up, and of late—that is, for the last three weeks, when the pressure upon the money market was moat severe—this most essential process for the relief of that pressure could seldom be got through in less than eight or ten days. Such sluggishness is tnanifestly an incurable disease, and nothing remains but to deprive the office of this part of its functions, and commit them to hands accustomed to the practice of banking and acquainted with the wants of the monied interest. Those who have most suffered by the crisis are, perhaps, the merchants and traders of the middle class, who in point of generatcredit are trustworthy, and their bills usually in as ready acceptatLe for discount as the class above them; but as they commonly carry on their business by draughts at four months or longer, to enable them to make their returns, they have been often left altogether without accommodation. The bankers and the great discount brokers were preparing for the calls to be made upon them by the railway companies for the deposits, and a bill having so long a period to run, though its soundness was unquestionable, would not even be looked at. These parties were in the habit of trusting heretofore for help to their own bankers, or to the discount houses, and kept no accounts with the Bank of Eng land which should give them access to its facilities, but they found there most unexpected and liberal aid, without which numbers of them must have yielded to the pressure. Bills of small amount and of long dates were as freely taken as the longer engagements of the superior merchants, and at rates, though of course somewhat above the Bank limit in their loan transactions, not materially so. This being the last day for receiving payments for railway deposits, money for that purpose has been in active demand, the more so in consequence of the Report of the Committee of the House of Lords, which has reduced the amount required from 10 to 5 per cent.; but it has not probably been made public in time to produce any material alteration. New arrangements to any great extent were not practicable in the course of the few hours that remained. The whole amount passed to the credit of the Accountant-General, for such de posits is now understood to be very near 11,000,0001.—a suf ficiently large sum to deal with in the management of the circulation; and unless some greater dispatch than for the last fortnight is ad , pted at the Accountant- General's office, the pressure on the Money-market, which many persons were this morning inclined to think at an end, may come on again with greater severity than ever. Since writing the above, we have heard that the actual amount of the deposits has reached 11,492,000/., exclusive of the obligations of the chartered companies, who may give bond under their common seal for the amount, which is pro bably a full million more, and exclusive of Scotland and Ire land. Of this gross sum, orders have at present been given for the investment of 2,000,000/. in Stock and Exchequer bills, of which about one-half has been already invested. CHRONICLE. —The deposit crisis may now be looked upon as fairly at an end. The depression in the public se curities, occasioned by th e sales of Stock on the part of rail way committees to provide the money for the Accountant- General, has been followed by a re-action for the rise quite as great and much more rapid than the previous decline. The amount actually paid to the Court of Chancery has been about 11,000,000/. Our contemporary, who would not take it for some time at a farthing less than 30,000,0001., now admits that nine millions is about the mark, and that his recent descent to 5.000,000/. was quite as wide of the truth as his former estimate of 30,000,0001. The standing orders have been com plied with, and a ll this mone y p laced in c u stody of the Accountant-General not, it is true, without a pressure of some severity on the Money-market—but cer tainly without any disastrous consequences. It has been found in money too, without any alteration or relaxation of the law or rules of Parliament. The transaction has been brought to a successf ul termination, in s p ite o f attempts to create uncalled-for alarm, and to raise up unnecessary ob stacles. Those who said it could not be done, now admit that it has been accomplished, and have the candour to own that it has been skilfully managed. Complaints now ema nate from the same quarter against the loss which railway companies suffer in re -investing to . They were compelled to sell stock for notes , say at 944 95, and have now to buy stock again at 974. There is some truth in this • but it is to be kept in view that th e re inves tment on the part of railway companies of their pde osit money is purely volun tary. There is no legal requisition to c ompe l th em to conv ert their notes into Stock or Exchequer -bills. They may allow their money to remain in the hands of the Accountant -General, if they feel disposed to do so, until it be absolutely required for . bond fide objects. No doubt it might, in that case, be unproductive; but it would at least be safe, and free from the changes and fluctuations which fre quently affect the funds. Supposing a fresh re- action to take place, and that Consols should again give way—that their price some months hence should be 95, in place of 97 those railway companies who have re-invested at the latter figure, should they find it requisite to realise their Consuls, would suffer a further loss We do not say that the funds are more likely to fall than to rise. It is a m oo t po i n t w hi c h way the movement will be developed ; but the present price is not looked upon, cannot be ccnsidered as a natural one. It is the effect of a special cause—the demand created by the investments of railway deposits. These have their limits, and when that demand ceases to act, it remains to be seen whether the funds will continue steady or experience fluc tuation. ' Discounts are still scare in the commercial world. The:mini mum rate at the Bank of England still rules at 3% per cult. POST.—The stock markets, as was rather confidently an ticipated yesterday eveninceifrom the manner in which th day's business concluded , have again advanced, and once more closed considerably better. A number of brokers held orders to sell stock at a certain limit, and on coming into the house to fulfil the instructions of their principals, they met with ready buyers ; so much so that prices, which opened higher, advanced, instead of receding. Several leading °pee rators, who are usually to be found on the side of the bulls, 'have of late, presuming, no doubt, upon good information, been heavy bears; but, the time having arrived when it counter policy had become desirable, the influence of a re• turn to their ordinary transactions for the rise has been brought to act upon prices. Consols were done as high as 97 1 /. for Accouut, but, as towards the close of business, some of the speculators were once more induced to realise profits, a slight reaction occurred. Upon the whole, the improvement was full three-quarters per cent. on yesterday's highest quotation. To-morrow the first effect of the termination, to-day, of the payment of deposits to the credit of the .Il ccou ntat-General will be seen. The total amount paid has been ascertained to be 11,492,000/. Of this sum one eminent banking firm &dote supplied as much as 3,000,0001. The payments of deposits constitutiug this aggregate amount were made by chequO, and without the intervention of a single bank • note, the former being accepted as a valid and satisfactory medium of payment to the Accountant-General. The advance in the Consol market produced a better feeling among the share speculators. South-Eastern Railway, as well as the Buckinghamshire, and the Sambre and Meuse, advanced. London and York, on the contrary, declined, but this was in consequence of the proceedings in Parliament. One passage in the report of the Committee of the House of Commons has a very important bearing on the proposed lines between London and York. We allude to the follow ing:—'° That it is expedient that all Bills which ought to be considered to compete in connexion with any Bills, the pro moters of which shall prove themselves entitled to the privi leges agreed to be granted in certain cases, by a resolution of the House on the 7th of July last. shall commence in the House of Lords." The practical effect of this resolution is to place the Direct Northern Company on an equality with the London and York. Both will now commence in the House of Lords, and there can be little doubt, if the inte rests of the shareholders and of the public are duly consi dered in that assembly, that an amalgamation at some stage or other of their progress must take place. The friends of the two Companies must be of opinion that the sooner the event occurs the better it will be for all parties. The public re quirement will be answered, and much needless waste of time and money avoided. HERALD.—The last day far the lodgment of the railway deposits has at length closed, and the final result has to the fullest extent verified the view we have all along maintained —namely, that there was no real ground for assuming that the modes operandi would produce any practical difficulty of importance. Now, when the matter is concluded, it is very clear that it would have been just as well that an arrange ment had been made to transf er Public Securities from the bankers to the account of the Accountant-General, instead of requiring the amount of the deposits in money ; but still, had no apprehension been excited, the business would have been quietly effected by the parties, without producing any pressure worth notice on the discount market. To the' unjustifiable alarm that was raised upon this snbject, all the inconvenience which has been expe rienced by the commercial interest is exclusively attri butable. The result has, however, shown that the apprehen sion was utterly fallacious, and the only alternative left to the Times and its abettors is to acknowledge a degree of ignor ance of the question not very creditable to the British press, in the middle of the 19th century, or want of honesty to an extent that we are reluctant to aver, even in the case of the misleading journal. In order to show that the difficulties that have been created have been of great magnitude, and have produced immense sacrifices of mercantile property, the Times of to-day quotes the authority of Truman and Cook, by an extract from their monthly circular, which is got up for the special in struction of the people in India and China. At no time do we consider these letters correct exponents of the London Money-market, when they profess to soar above mere common place, and in the present case the state ments made are at direct variance with the testimony of the best informed persons in the Colonial market, in Mincing-lane. That considerable difficulty has been expe rienced in the commercial discount market is an undoubted fact, as we have repeatedly stated; but at the same time the opinion was universal that the pressure would be but tem porary, and great forbearance was consequently exercised, and it is altogether a mistake that great losses had been sus tained by forced sales of mercantile property. We are quite aware that by showing this to be the actual state of the matter it may be presumed that we are making out a case in mitigation of the mischief done by the Times, for in pro portion to the extent of such sacrifices, so in proportion is the turpitude of that director of public opinion. Such a de duction would not, however, square exactly with the truth. The averment that immense sacrifices of property have been made is only following up the same principle previously acted upon, namely, to propagate distrust and suspicion even beyond the advent of the railway deposits, for the ob vious inference is, that the persons that have been compelled :o make the said sacrifices must now be in doubtful credit. N (From the Observer.) It is now very limy weeks sinee, writing from the information derived from practical and influential men, that it was stated under this head that the fall in the values of the Public Securities could be but of a tem porary character, and that the attempt so zealously made to excite alarm by a leading daily contemporary would turn out to be at least founded upon peat exaggeration. Furthermore it was' stated that, upon all reasonable din ferences, awith the general reservation that peace and tranquillity should not be interfered with, either as respects home or foreign relations, the quotations of the Public Securities would rapidly ascend to the high point paid before the forced panic in the railway world was at its zenith. And very nearly has the opinion then ex pressed been realised. Consuls have this week advanced almost continuously, and have attained a value within 1 per cent. of that realised ere the deposits upon new railway projects required for completion that nume rous sales of Stock and Exchequer-bills should be made. Hence the reaction in Consols, &c. of about 54 to 6 per cent. upon a value acknowledged to have been high, and out of all proportion to what was the rate of interest upon the first class of commercial paper. The most extraor dinary fact in reference to the state of the Money Mar ket, and as exhibiting the fallacies of the assertions of the panic mongers, is that with deposits daily, and al most hourly increasing at the Bank of England, on be half of the managing body of fresh railways, amounting, according to the last returns, to about 11,000,0001., re mains to be recorded. This large amount of capital until the last eight- and , forty hours, or the great bulk of it, has been actually kept hermetically closed up, either in the hands of the private bankers, or in the pos session of the directors of the Bank of England. And how is this fact established ? Why, by a reference to the last Bank returus. It appears that under the bead of " other &posits" in the weekly return from the Bank, there was not less than 17,000,0001. and over, and with out producing anything like a panic in the Money Market, or requiring any measures of a coercive tendency on the part of the directors of the corporation. The chances now are that era the month of April arrives the Three per Cent. Consols will again touch par. Mercantile men, however, it must be confessed, are not very anxious now to operate with vigour, nor will they do so until the new measures of the Premier be carried out, and hence there are much larger balances in the hands of bankers and the discount houses than is usual at this season of the year. And the same remark will apply to and account for the present condition of the Stock Markets, but only to a limited degree. The present favourable aspect of the Funds, may in truth be stated in a few and concise words. As the decline was occasioned by sales to pay railway deposits some months since, and as re-invest ments have been recently commenced, the present supply is scarcely equal to the demand. Most especially, too, ought it to be borne in mind that all fears of a panic and re consequent necessity of the screw being put upon the i irculation, have for some time ceased to operate upon the minds of bona fide fundholders. The almost daily purchases of the G. vernment Brokers —say to the amount of from 21,0001. to 22,0001., in diminution of the Public Debt—on behalf of the Savings' Banks (5,0001 on each Transfer Day), and for the An nuity Fund, have, of course, strengthened the movements of the operators for a rise, and per contra, led to many and serious lapses, it is to be apprehended, on the part of the Bears. The remarks upon the transactions of the first week of the present month may be wound up by stating, as far as the brokers and johl . ers are concerned, it has been one of considerable profit, business having been very animated. THE OVERLAND ROUTES VIA TRIEST E. TO THE EDITOR Of MB TIKES. SIR,—At your request I send you the following brief ac count of my route from Trieste, from which I think it will appear that the journey was performed under almost every possible disadvantage : The Directors of the Austrian Lloyd's had no expectation that the steamer expected from Alexandria would bring public dispatches, and therefore neither in Trieste nor along the whole route were any preparations taken beforehand for a speedy journey to England. But on receiving very im portant Indian dispatches along with a packet for the Times paper, the Directors immediately determined to forward the latter, and I was commissioned to undertake the journey. p p ar .st s ., ued l m lef y t journeyo Trieste n the f 0 2 br 9 y t D I a ww o ian f yo was forced to change my carri a g e. From Ceneda I p assed where I o a f n d J anuary,pa a f a a n t l o c ovan eighte , t o n o'c lo ckc e t n eds through many small villages, in which it was often di ffi cult to obtain horses, so that I lost much time, until I came to the Brenner Pass, on which the snow lay very deep. My first point, after passing the Brenner, was Inns pruck ; from that city I pursued my course to Kempten, and, during fifteen German miles, I found in many places the snow three or four feet deep, which, as the post was not expected that day, had not been properly shovelled away. From Kempten I made for Ulm, through continued pouring rain, which made the roads very heavy. From Ulm I went to Stuttgardt, the rain still continuing, and the roads being as heavy as before. From Stuttgardt I went to Carlsruhe, with the view of meeting another officer of the Austrian Lloyd's, who was to have received my dispatches and brought them to England. Had this not been enjoined I should have gone by a shorter way from Stuttgardt, by Bruchsal, to Mannheim. On reaching Carlsruhe, the officer I sought was not in the way, and I therefore proceeded myself to Mannheim. where sI expected to_ find a steamer ; but, no boat . . „ being to be had, I was forced to post thence to Mayence, where I again attempted to procure a steamer, with no better success. I therefore posted to Cologne, and found the road so flooded by the Rhine, that the water was up to the horses' girths, and often came into my carriage, rendering it difficult to keep my dis patches dry. Under these circumstances it was impossible to drive at more than a foot's pace. From Cologne I went by the railroad to Ostend, which I reached at 9 o'clock in the evening of the 3d of February, and at 3 o'clock on ;he morn ing of the 4th embarked for London, where I arrived at half past 5.-1 am, Sir, your most obedient servant, , JOSEPH FRIGELMULLER. PRICE si). NEW METROPOLITAN PARK AND BRIDGE. The following is an abstract of the fifth report of the Metropolitan Improvement Commissioners:— In the year 1843, in connexion with the inquiries in stituted by this Commission into the practicability of an embankment of the north side of the Thames, between Battersea and Vauxhall-bridges, the attention 'of your Majesty's Commissioners was very earnestly directed to the expediency of purchasing and appropriating to the before faTroi bearings, Surrey eyi indeed eprinciples themd, sidets that o a f tss hot3uoh, of fudi river. i givmne securing purposes of a public park a portion of the large and yet unoccupied space known as Battersea-fields, an the south the te essedti defective andf. p ec e tio n v mespacess moico n ditions so n feor Commissioners important t could on e public tail jset t c o t aocfkn thiso essential w particulars it; crut,l a res b x u co tef,ptw many i u th a dptehorer portions s s your Majesty's Commissioners would - ha ve difficulty in giving practical encouragement to the sub' cir cumstances which now appear to them to render the project deserving of the of early consideration of your Majesty's Government and of Parliament.. . - The appropriation of Battersea-fields, originally urged upon this commission by Mr. Thomas Cubitt . (in his evidence delivered before the Commissioners in 1843), was subseque:ltly pressed upon its and Rev. Robert Eden, as vicar of Battersea. Your Majesty's Commissioners, however, found enough in the evidence of these gentlemen to justify them in making the project of a park at Battersea the subject of further investigation ; and they accordingly instructed their professional officer, Mr. Pennethorne, in communi cation with the gentlemen already named, to examine carefully the locality, to inform himself of the greatest extent of ground advantageously ,available for the pur pose, the various tenures to which it was held subject., and the prices at which any portions of it had been re cently sold ; and to lay before them a plan and estimate, showing the result of these inquiries and the mode in which the site proposed might be most profitably and be neficially appropriated. The result of these proceedings was to bring under the consideration of your Majesty's Commissioners, in the first instance, three plans—viz., that of Mr. Eden, embracing a site of 313 acres ; a pan of Mr. Penne thorne, comprising 179 acres ; and a plan designed to represent the principle of a terrace only, by the river side, comprising an area of not more than 96 acres. Each of these plans occupied an equal, or very nearly equal frontage, to the river. Upon a careful examination of these, with reference to the mode of appropriation which each would best ad mit of, Mr. Pennethorne was of opinion that the ulti mate cost to the public would be about 52,000/. ; and of the third, 26,000/. ; the saving in the last two of these cases being, in fact, effected by a corresponding sacrifice of those advantages which, in the opinion of this com mission, would give to the project its chief recommenda tion as a public measure. Your Majesty's Commissioners have adverted in the second of their reports to a project (promoted by a pub lic company) connected with the proposed embankment between Battersea and Vauxhall, for constructing a bridge across the Thames, in continuation of the exten sion of Sloane-street to the river-side. They requested the attendance of Mr. Bird, the engineer to the Com pany, and they examined him to an extent sufficient for all the purposes of this inquiry. From the evidence of Mr. Bird, it appears that the promoters of this measure 'ps'oeeofcffutelheli teauirlidtogdn:trwnhnti:eoant evidence have no Bill before Parliament ; that the estimates are based upon the assumption that the embankment will be first completed ; and that the proceedings of the Com pany are, in fact, dependent very much upon the pro gress of that improvement. In pursuance of instructions,' Mr. Pennethorne pre pared and laid before this Commission a plan, com prising in the whole an area of 320 acres; and the result of a revision of his estimates upon the basis of the erection of a bridge (but exclusively of the cost of embanking the river) exhibited a probable outlay, in purchasing and laying out the ground fur the park, of 154,2501., and a probable return for this expenditure of 179,2501., making a balanc in favour of the undertaking of about 25,000/. We think it right to state, however, that an embankment of the frontage to the river would appear to be an essential feature of this plan, and that the cost of such embankment would absorb the larger portion of that balance. In pursuance, also, of instructions received from this Commission, Mr. Page, who, as civil engineer. is em ployed on the embankment recommended on the Chelsea side of the river, laid before your Majesty's Commis sioners designs and estimates of three descriptions of bridge, to form the communication between the Mid dlesex and the Surrey shores, at the point already re ferred to—one of brick, having seven arches, and being 42 feet in width, the cost of which he estimated at 50,0001 ; one of timber, on piers of brick, having Ave arches, and being of similar width, estimated to cost 35,0001. ; and a suspension-bridge of iron, not exceeding 35 feet in width (being that of the bridge at Hammer smith), the execution of which he considered to be prac ticable at from 45,0001. to 50,000/., contingencies in each case inAuded. Your Majesty's Commissioners were of opinion that, in principle, a suspension-bridge presented the most eligible mode of crossing the river, as admitting, from the thinness of its floor, of a better headway to the traffic on the river, in conjunction with an easier incli nation of the roadway above ; and as involving the smallest practicable diminution of the navigable channel. It appears tha , , allowing 24 feet 9 inches for the head eay above high water, and 40 feet for the width of the road and footways between the respective shores, such a bridge may be constructed at an expense not exceed ing in the whole the sum of 60,0001. From the report of Mr. Clark (the civil engineer) it appears that he is not aware of any modification of the principle of suspension, as at present applied in this kingdom, the adoption of which be would deem advis able in the present instance ; and that he estimates the probable cost of a bridge upon the ordinary principle, over a water-way of 750 feet, at Battersea, in width not less than 35 feet, and in the centre 23 feet above high water (Trinity datum), at about 45,0001. Looking to this testimony, therefore, in conjunction with that of Mr. Bird (already referred to), which probably includes a sum for expences beyond the outlay upon the structure only, the sum of 60,0001, the amount of Mr. Page's estimate, may be taken as the probable outside cost of a communication across the river amply sufficient for all the possible requirements of this locality. Any estimate of the probable return for this expendi ture your Majesty's Commissioners are aware must at the present moment be conjectural ; bat, looking to the populous districts to be found on either side of the river between Battersea and Vauxhall bridges, &c., your Ma jesty's Commissioners are disposed to rely upon the cal culations which exhibit a probable receipt from tolls of 6,0001. a-year, and a consequent return of not less than 10 per cent. upon the whole expenditure. It appears, therefore, that assuming a bridge to be constructed over the river at Chelsea, in immediate con nexion with the proposed embankment of the river on its northern shore, and with the site referred to in the evi dence laid before this commissien by Mr. Pennethorne, the project of a park at Battersea is one, in a financial point of view alone, well deserving the attention of your Majesty's Government. Thu whole, or at least the western pert of Southwark, and the whole of Lambeth, may be considered as likely to benefit by the formation of a park on the south or right bank of the river in the position of Battersea-fields, while the erection of a bridge on the sit? proposed would extend the advantage to a large population on the northern or Middlesex shore of the river. The comforts thus opened to the vast an d crowded masses of the me tropolise d made available to them in the cheapest, easiest, an quickest mode, by st eam navi g ation, or very con veniently by land conveyance alon g the terraces. would by the gr eat hi g hwa y of the river, b It is no little recommendation of this scheme iu the eyes of your Majesty's Commissioners, that the realisation of this project would put an end to the scenes of demoralisation which the existing almost lawless state of the locality presents daily, and chiefly e on Sundays. On various grounds, therefore, the Commissioners are disposed to recommend to the early and favourable consideration of your Majesty, subject to the conditions herein detailed, the plan for a park on the present site ,of Battersea-fields, in connexion with a bridge over the Thames in the same locality, and with the embankment of the northern shore of the river, which forms the subject of their second report.

The MAYOR said, that in compliance with a requisition, he had felt it his duty to convene the present meeting, which might be viewed as one of congratulation.—(Hear, hear ) But two months ago there had been a meeting in the same hall, to memorialise her Majesty's Government to open the ports, and to petition for an object which they might now regard as consummated.—(Applause.) It was interesting r o note the progress of public opinion ; one convert after an other had been added to their ranks—change had succeeded change—and a general conviction of the impolicy of the re strictive system was now prevalent. Mr. W. Csurre, merchant, on rising to move the first re solution, said, he bad long looked upon the cern-laws as en -1 tailing evils upon the merchants, manufacturers, artisans, and labourers, and he verily believed while they inflicted se rious injury upon these parties, they had never done the slightest good to any one class, not even to the landholders themselves.—(Applause.) He expected, if they lived twenty years longer that the trade of this country would be doubled ; at least he saw no reason why it should not. He had tra velled many hundred miles through the farming districts in the Illinois, Indiana, and the Missouri, where he found an immense quantity of agricultural produce and food, such as Indian cern, wheat, and maize; but as a class of farmers, he hed no hesitation in saying, there are no people in the whole of the United States of America who have so few com forts as these farmers have. They have everything they want in the shape of food, and they have nothing of those things which we sell.—(Bear, hear.) He went into many farm- houses there, and lie saw abundance of food, but at the same time he saw the farmer, his wife, and children, desti tute and in rags, and without knife, fork, glass, crockery, and other comforts, the produce of the towns in this country. —(Hear, hear.) Why is this the cage Because our laws have stepped in and forbidden an interchange. But now there will be free interchange, and there will be a wide field open for trade and commercial enterprise.—(Applause.) He would not trouble the tneeting farther, but at once read his resolution, which he begged to move, namely : " That the thanks of the meeting are due to Sir Robert Peel and her Majesty's Government, for the important and statesmanlike, commercial, and social measures proposed by them for adoption by Parliament." Mr.IT. BAILEY (au influential Conservative) very cordially seconded the motion. The rPßolutionWs then put, and unanimously adopted. The Rev. W. Lptwoon rose and was received with loud applause. There was one good result, he said, which had already followed the announcement of the measure proposed by Sir li. Peel ; a result almost as grand in itself as the results that they believed would follow the accomplishment of free trade; namely, that it had already destroyed party.— (Hear.) They heard nothing now of those factions that used to disturb the political world with their everlasting wrangling . . Instead of that, they saw Whig joining Tory, and Tory joining Whig; all willing to unite in drawing the funeral car of monopoly.—(Applause.) lie had to move that a petition be sent to the House of Cominons in support of the measure proposed by her Majesty's Ministers. It paid full honour to the man who brought the measure forward. " The petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the borough of Nottingham, " Showeth—That your petitioners have learned with the highest satisfaction the introduction into your Honourable House by her Majesty's Ministers, of most important mea sures as to the free importation of food, as to the tariff, and as to other matters of legislative regulations. Your petitioners consider these measures to be based on true and sound principles, and to be calculated to improve the agricultural and commercial interests, advance the social condition, and strengthen the political relations of Great Britain. " That your petitioners deem it wiser and more for the benefit of all classes to repeal the existing corn-laws at once, but that if the advocates of protection to agriculture, though, as we believe, with mistaken views, prefer the proposed re duced duties, and the postponement of total repeal for three years, your petitioner would confine her Majesty's Govern ment to carry out their proposed measures in the most prac ticable mode. Your petitioners, without referring specially to the other proposed accompanying matters, desire most earnestly the , cordial support of your Honourable House to these measures of Government as a whole. " And your petitioners will ever pray, tkc." In conclusion, he had great pleasure in moving that the peti tion be forwarded to the House of Commons.—(Applause.) The proposition was seconded by Mr. BEAN, and carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman HEAnn moved, " That although this meet ing considers the immediate repeal of all restrictions on the free importation of food as the course most for the advantage of all classes of the cammunity, they deem the measures pro posed far too important not to be accepted and cordially sup ported." The motion was carried, and after the transaction of some further business, the meeting broke up at twenty minutes to nine o'clock. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, Faa. 6.
