W A 11..1C AT LONDON-114411*W, T111;k DAY. n. .. 17 m:nutes 3.11e.' 5. 1 Kven , riv .. 40 miuntas after 5. ,ott l / 4 At niol 9 ltillki 2/int lONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1846, Contrary to the established usages of Parliament, an explanation has occurred simultaneously with the first reading of the Sugar Duties Bill in the House of Peers. If employed as a precedent, this innovation might undoubtedly cause no inconsiderable confusion to the future deliberations of their Lordships, but, prefaced as it was by a distinct apology, that explana tion cannot but tend to the satisfaction of an anxious people, and the convenience of a jaded Parliament. On introducing this measure on Monday, the Earl of CLARENDON took a most felicitous survey of the question, demonstrating by lucid arguments and un answerable statistics the necessity of some immediate 'TAE sUN j _ LONDON, w modification of the present system. The Noble Earl ' insisted upon the insufficiency of the supply in con sequence of the restrictions caused by differential duties, and his illustrations upon this point merit the most serious investigation. If we can comprehend the rather incomprehensible calculation of the Noble Lord, the Member fur Lynn, the clamouring about the deficiency of sugar at a price reasonable enough for the consumption of the English population, is as chimerical and illusory as the potato panic is declared to have been by those very sceptical gentlemen, the protectionists. Is it then chimerical to maintain the insufficiency of moderately-priced sugar, when the average consumption of that article in England is merely 16 pounds per annum for each individual, while the consumption at our antipodes is absolutely 104 pounds per annum for each individual ? Is it chimerical when we find three quarters of our community restricted to eight pounds per annum, while the consumption of the affluent classes is estimated at sixty pounds, and the consump tion eves of the middle classes at thirty-seven pounds ? Surely we must not attribute this disparity to a diffe rence of taste in the different classes. It would in truth be something astonishing to be assured that a partiality for saccharine juice is acquired by the excellence of a man's broadcloth, that corduroy is a corrective to acidity, that the peasant has not as voracious an ap petite after toothsome dishes as a nobleman, that green gooseberries would give the cholic to a landed proprietor, and afford nutrition to an artisan ? Nevertheless, it is merely by resort- ing to such dogmatical absurdities that a protectionist can maintain that there is a sufficiency of supply in colonial sugar. As a testimony that Government does not consider this article merely necessary for the wealthier inhabitants of these islands, we may allude to the allowance of 221 lbs. to every pauper, and of 341 b. to every seaman. When the average consump tion of such a necessary of life is found to dwindle down into a contemptible minim among three quar ters of our population, being literally, as the Earl of CLARENDON calculated, " 180 per cent. below the allowance made to the pauper, and nearly 200 per cent. below the alloWance made to the common sailor," there is undoubtedly some foundation for the conjec ture that additional facilities should be afforded for the importation of fresh cargoes. That such an ar rangement would ameliorate the condition of the labouring classes, no reasonable man can ques tion. We are persuaded that the proposed measure is not only one of commercial reformation, but one, moreover, of sanatory reformation. It is of fiscal as well as social importance. It will, we are persuaded, materially increase the revenue, while it will promote the comfort of the community. On this particular Lord CLARENDON has only corrobo rated a truism, and illustrated a fundamental principle in political economy, when he referred to the fact of the consumption of coffee and tea having proportionably developed itself with the diminution in taxation. For example—in 1821, the former commodity, covered with an im post of two shillings per lb., gave a consumption of 22,000,000 lbs. ; in 1844 the duty was decreased to sixpence per lb., and in the following year the con sumption had risen t0,34,000,0001b5., giving a revenue of 718,0001. instead of 340,0001. In like manner, with tea, a consumption of 22,000,0001b5. in 1821, had in 1345 arrived at the enormous average of 44,000,000 lbs., notwithstanding, or rather in consequence of, a very considerable reduction in the duties levied upon that article. After having observed these beneficent results of an enlightened policy, as testified in these instances, it is remarkable to observe the contrary effects of an extortionate and grasping system. Niggardliness is repaid by meagre revenues, a generous but judicious leniency by overflowing coffers, thriving merchants, ac tivity in trade, increased sobriety and health in the com munity. While the latter has been thus magnificently demonstrated in regard to coffee and its sister be verage, how vividly has the former been illustrated in reference to the importation of sugar ! What are the revelations of the Earl of CLARENDON on this parti cular? Why, that with our vastly multiplying population the trade in sugar has been literally stagnant—that the consumption of sugar has been nearly stationary. That consumption was in 1821, 4,000,000 cwt.; in 1831, 4,000,000 cwt.; in 184 f, still 4,000,000 cwt. ; in 1844, miserably improved to 4,300,000 cwt.; and in 1845, to 5,000,000 cwt. After a candid examination of these few and very comprehensible facts, none but a self-interested or obtuse-minded man can persist in declaring that no necessity exists for the alteration of the existing system of differential duties. A necessity does exist, and seeing that the anomalies of protection have been removed from the principal necessary of existence, the necessity for their removal from what may be designated the next greatest necessary ce existence becomes too glaring to admit of any additional cavil or supplementary procrastination Bread has been cleansed of its leaven of monopoly ; the dumplings and cranberry pies of the la bourer must be free from the acidulating effects of the sugar duties. Brazil must be made to correspond with China and Russia in ministering to the repasts of our popula tion, Louisiana and Venezuela must compete with Pekin and Cuba in adding to the sober nourish ment of our sober people. With the extension of correspondence between the various territories of the earth will extend, not merely the national revenue, the national happiness, and the national health of Great Britain, but the civilisation, the humanity, the christianity, the brotherly love, the prosperity, and the general improvement of the entire human family. An inquiry has, we are happy to say, been directed into the truth of several allegations made with re vect to the Millbank Prison. A commission has been Appointed, with powers to take evidence on oath, and to examine in the fullest manner into the whole management of the prison, and into every charge that has been brought against the governor and the other officers. The Home Secretary deserves the greatest credit for the manner in which he has acted in this case. On the former occasion, when it was brought forward by Mr. DUNCOMBE, we expressed our regret that the asked-for inquiry should be refused when charge:. of such magnitude, impugning so severely the con duct of the prison authorities, and expressly charging the governor with acts of the greatest cruelty and oppression, were brought forward by a person whose character and motives were unimpeached, who, from his position, as an officer of the prison, had an oppor tunity of being fully cognisant of the truth of the charges, if correct, and that the public mind should be permitted to remain in suspense on such a subject until the next session of Parliament. Much indulgence, however, was claimable by Sir GEORGE GREY on the subject. He had recently succeeded to office---rquestions of the greatest consequence to the nation remained for discussion, and a serious and difficult task awaited the several Cabinet Ministers, in se lecting from the enormous quantity of business before the Legislature measures that required an im mediate decision, that were intended to remedy serious and pressing grievances, and which could not be postponed until the ensuing session without great public inconvenience. The petition, too, had been presented when Sir JAMES GRAHAM presided over the Home Office, and had to a certain extent been adjudicated on by him, he having referred it to the Inspectors of Prisons, with a request that they woul(l institute a full and searching investigation into the several statements contained therein. A report had been made, with respect to which the new Secre tary had little time to prepare himself. He, there fore, asked the House to suspend their judg ment, promising that nothing should be withheld, and fully and honourably has he redeemed that pledge. He required .tbat the Prison Inspectors and investigate the on, e n e o n w . should renew their inquiry, ad ditionaladmits thechargesbroughte rfoirnwvaersdti.gati ainst necessity the n o f ducted under the auspices Of persons ag whom no charge of part ialit y or bias could possibly be preferred, and we are ready to admit that at this late period of the session a Committee of the House must necessarily be greatly hurried, and unable to give the time neoessary for so important an inquiry. The entire subject of prison discipline is one that de serves the fullest consideration. The horrible prac tice of corporal punishment is still resorted to— persons are frequently sentenced -to receive a number of lashes, which it is now clearly proved may produce the most fatal results, at the mere will and pleasure of the prison authorities. The public feeling has most properly been directed against this descrip ti-in of punishment, and its infliction even in the pri vacy of the prison-house is strongly objected to. We may hope that the report of the newly-appointed Commission will fully enter into this point, and that measures may be suggested for the total abolition of the practice, or, at least, the adoption of better regu lations with respect thereto. There must be some thing radically wrong in the system which leads to so fearful a number of suicides as those effected and attempted in the prison within the last three years. The statements, too, that prisoners had ben removed to the hulks in a dying state, to avoid the inquest before the coroner, which would be neces sary in the event of their dying within the prison— that persons had been so removed while unable to gst up from their beds, and in so weakly a state that brandy and water was administered to them during their journey to keep up their strength, require a searching and ample investigation. The extraordinary number of cases of insanity, deaths, or pardons of prisoners on medical grounds, must be fully explained, if the causes can possibly be traced. We know nothing of the governor of the prison ; we should be the last to condemn him with out full evidence of the truth of the statements. It is a very different thing investigating charges so brought forward, and acting on them as if they were fully proved. The more serious they are the less willing should we be to admit their accuracy. Captain GROVES ap pears to have met the charges in a manly and inde pendent manner. It appears that he wrote to Sir GEORGE GREY, stating his anxiety to meet the charges and his desire that they should be adju dicated on by persons other than the Prison Inspectors. This is certainly very creditable to him, and affords a certain presumption against his guilt. Under any circumstances the result of the inquiry must be beneficial; and if it should not be conducted in a fair and proper manner, it will be open to any Member, in the early part of next session, to move for a Committee of the House, to inquire not merely into the charges, but also into the manner in which the Commissioners have exercised their powers. Mr. DGNCOMBE, therefore, acted with much discretion in resting satisfied for the present with the promise of the Home Secretary, and awaiting the result of the promised inquiry. The treaty of Navigation between Austria and Russia was signed on the 20th July. The Agnates of AUGUSTENROURG and of GLUCKS nounG and the Grand Duke of OLDENaURG have protested against the letter patent of the King of DENMARK on the subject of the succession to the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The police of Hesse Cassel have orders to make out a list of all the German Catholics, and to report periodically on their conduct. Madrid papers of the 4th have arrived. The ru mour that GONZALES BRAVO had been recalled from Lisbon was again Prevalent in Madrid. The Spanish Government is giving every encouragement to General FLORES, late President of the Republic of the Ecuador, to raise troops in Spain, nominally for the service of the Republic, but it is shrewdly sus pected that their destination will be Mexico, and their mission the establishment of a monarchy.

The Cotton _Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, raid nriees were steady. Sales 4,500 bales. American, 4d. to 5%d. Shares were tolerably well supported. a tie ovie hued ex pr ess, in anticipation of he mail, does not bring more cheerful intelligence respecting the state of the impart market eit:ier at Calcutta or Bombay, and it seems probble that some time will elapse ere matters right themselves. As has been so ofter remarked under this head, extreme caution will be requisite in making shipments of manufactures here and purchases of produce in India, in order to make the trade mutually beneficial. There is nothing striking in the advices from the United States, because they were scarcely a day later. The republic of Mexico, as far as present appearances go, seems doomed to fall a prey to the superior power of her antagonist. Cali fornia is the present land of promise to the Americans, and they are sedulous to collect " full particulars " as to the value of their intended acquisition. Alluding to the trade of Monterey. it is stated that 50 ships entered last year. Of the.se 5 were vessels of war, 5 were whale ships, and 48 were merchant vessels. And again, the 58 vessels may be classified thus :-23 ships, 17 barques, 8 brigs, and 10 schooners. Although contrary to the laws of Mexico, the Governor and Generals of Oalifornia, before the independence of Mexico, and always since that period, have allowed the coasting trade, from San Diego to San Francisco, to all foreign vessels which have paid their duties at Monterey. From San Diego to Bi4lega the country is fast filling up. Mills are building, new inventions are imported, vessels are building, and in a few years the Pacific ports of Mexico can be supplied with Californian schooners and brigs. Mexico has no ports on the Pacific that can vie with those of Cali fornia in natural advantages; her only Pacific wharf is in Monterey. The Pueblo de los Angeles has now a large popu lation, many of its citizens becoming wealthy from their ranchos and vineyards. At this place can be found excellent wine and aquardiente, and the best grapes in the world. Some fifteen or twenty carriages and gigs can be seen on a paseo at a time. With all its natural advantages, the country could be still further advanced , if Mexico would send hither but 200 good soldiers (not vagabonds), place them under the command of the natives, and without fail send them 100,000 dollars a-year. This method would soon create amicable feelings towards the Supreme Government, and nothing else will.

ALARMING ACCIDENT TO SIR CHARLES WETHERELI. —We deeply lament to state that a very severe and alarming acci dent happened to it* Charl: s Wetherell, in the neighbourhood of Maidstone, on Monday morning. It appears that the learned gentleman had arrived at Maidstore by train, and was de sirous of going on to Rochester, for which purpose he had engaged one-horse phaeton, wills a driver, and proceeded towards the latter place, taking what is called the Lower-road, skirting the river Med way, for tne purpose of passing through the village of Wouldham. On arriving near the seat of Charles Milner, Esq., Preston Hall, ionic trifling circumstance, said to be the horse's tail catching tin reins, caused the animal slightly to mend its pace, on which Sir Charles, who was sitting on the box with the driver, unhappil:. caught hold of the reins, and the horse, clartin4 to the side of the road, dashed the carriage against a heap of stones, which caused it to upset, throwing Si. Ch •rtes to the ground with great violence. Th. learned gentleman, on being raised, was found to be most alarming].) injured. The driver and Sir Charles's valet escaped unhurt. Si, Charles was immediately conveyed to Preston Hall, and was attended by Mr. Dennis, of Aylesford, and 1)r. Taylor, of Maidstone ; but so serious did these gentlemen consider the state of their patient, that the valet was soon after dispatched to London to procure the attend ance of an eminent physician. The precise nature of the injury sus tained by Sir Charles we have not been able to learn ; but doubtless the shock sustained by his system at his advanced age, 76, must alone be sufneient to create the most painful apprehensions. RE LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK AT MAIDEND EAD.- On Mon lay morning Anthony Thomas ityves, a police-sergeant in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, at the Maldenhettu station, who was remanded by the Eton bench of magistrates 011 Wednesday last, upon a charge of having inflicted a serious wound with a knife upon the body of Mr. Henry Plumb, an articled clerk to Mr, Ward, solicitor, of Maidenhead, n - as brought up for re examina. ion bet Ore the magistrates of Burnham, by Mr. Larkin, the superintendent constable of the Burnham and Stoke district. The ;nagistrates present were—Mr. Caledon George Dupre, M.P., Mr Rice Richard Clayton, M.P , Major Bent, and the Rev. Thome , tarter, Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, and Mr. W. R. Ward, solicitor, appeared on the part of the Crown. Mr. Williams stated that he had to apply for a further adjournment of the case, in con sequence of Mr. Plumb being unable to be present, from the nature of the severe injuries he had received, to attend to give his evidence. Ile handed to the bench the following certificate from his medical attendant:— " I am of opinion that Mr. henry Plumb is ton weak to attend the magistrates to-day. Ile is, however, going on favourably. .‘ B. BELLIS, Surgeon. _ " Maidenhead, Monday morning, August 10." Mr. Ward said, in reply to a question from the bench, that, from what Mr. Bell:5 had stated to him before he left Mabienhead for Burnham, he ex; ected Mr. Plumb would be able to appear against the prisoner in the course of three or four days. Rev. Mr. C ar ter thought it would be advisable that the remand should be for as short a time as possible, taking into consideration the state of the prosecutor. Mr. Ward observed that he was not able at present to cave his bed. The magistrates having consulted together for a few minutes, the Chairman informed the prisoner that in consequence of Mr. Plumb being still in too weak a state to attend the inquiry, they tad come to the determination of again remanding him until Friday next. The prisoner, who made no re nark, respectfully bowed to the magistrates, and wa , taken away in custody of the constable, and conveyed to Beaconsfield Summonses, upon the application .if M . Williams, were then issued fur the attendance of the witnesses on that day. Ditzsrana, ACCIDENT IN T/1R Towza.—On Monday morning, /about stven oalocit, a most distressing oc urrence took place in the Tower to a man named Joseph Heffernin, aged thirty five, a bricklayer, residing at No. 7, White-street, Spitalfields, which, it is feared, will end fatally. It seems that the unfortunate man had been employed for some time past at the new building in the Tower, which is intended for the soldiers' barracks. He proceeded to his work, and on reaching the third tier of planks en the upper part of the scaffolding, one of the putlocks, or cross beams, gave way, where by he was precipitated a depth of sixty feet to the basement, where he fell on a girder. Ile was extricated with much difficulty, and was found to have received the most fearful injuries, the bones of the right leg were broken, protruding through time flesh; the left thigh and hip were severely injured, and various parts of his body had sustained several contusions and bruises. He was seen by a surgeon in the Tower, but he ordered his removal to the accident ward of St. Tho mas's Hospital, where, upon examination, it was found that the only means of saving his life was the amputation of the right leg, which the poor fellow at first refused to accede to, but when seen by a cler gyman he consented. The operation was forthwith performed by Mr. Le Gros Clarke, one of the assistant surgeons, who was attended by Mr. Travers and Mr. Sully. REPAIRING THE STREETS OF LONDON.—A notice has been issued by the Commissioners of Sewers that some of the great thoroughfares will be impassable to every description of e great and length vehicle. The carriage-way is to be repaired in Old Fish-street, Long-lane, Upper Thames-street, and Fleet-street. The latter was closed on Monday, and will remain closed for six weeks or two months, owing to th up partially destroyed fte required by t t h o . m fo a r kLa tio n n ew of ho th tt e om ne o w f concrete, in which the s t one i s t o b e l a id , the present bed having beencut sewer, and the laying down of gas and water-pipe s. The carriage way is to be relaid with the three-Inch cube granite, similar to that which was laid down last year in Ludgate-hill, Holborn-hill, o rn-hill, and Snow-hill. At present there exists a great difficulty in getting good workmen, as well as stone from the quarries, iu consequence of the demand for the railways. When finished, it is alleged that Fleet street will not require any great repairs for the next twenty years, the three-inch cube Aberdeen granite being estimated to last for forty years in places where only an ordinary traffic takes place. All large thoroughfares are in future to be paved with this stone, as soon as the existing contracts for wood pavement expires. The following places are to have new sewers :—Laurence Pountney-lane, and Pountney-hill, DuckafuOt-lane, Cloak-lane, Bell-yard, Laurence tiracechureli.street, Little Bush-lane, Bride-lane, Poppin's-court, Hosier-lane, the north end of Shoe-lane, Bouverie-street, and the preclnc • tof Whitafriars, the whole of which are to commence within the next Wouth.

HAVERFORDWEST, SATUIDA 4.—Yrsterday a fine war steamer, built under the superintendence of Sir William Symonds, named the Conflict, was publicly launched from the Royal Dock) and at Pembroke, attended with full naval honours. The weather being remarkably fine, an immense concourse of beauty and fashion honoured the dockyard with their pretence ; the rush at three o'clock, the time of opening the dock yard gates, was such as would have borne down any opposition that might have burn offered. The arrangements of the launch were under the direction o Mr. Thomas Pertioees, the assistant-master shipwright. Miss Williams, the daughter of Captain Williams, of the Royal Engineers, and director of the works in the dockyard, officiated in the ceremony of christening the vessel. From the cards which were distributed among the company it appeared that the principal dimensions of the vessel are as follows : _ .. .. ............... ........... Length over all_ .. 209 feet 5 inches " between perpendiculars 185 0 " of keel for tonnage 164 91 Breadth extreme 34 4 " for tonnage 34 0 " moulded Depth in hold Diameter of propeller l2 0 Burthen in tons Power of engines Armament—Two pivot guns, 56-pounders, ten feet long, 85 cwt. ; and six eight-inch 68 pounders, weighing 65 cwt. At four o'clock, every preparation having been com pleted, the signal was given, when the dog shores were knocked away, and the noble vessel glided off into her future element in beautiful style, the dockyard band playing " Off she goes." There was a large number of yachts, steamers, and other craft in the harbour, heavily laden with spectators, but happily not the least incident occurred to mar the day's proceedings. The Conflict, as soon as she is jury-rigged, w:11 be taken to London, where her machinery is in a forward state of construction. Another large steamer, on the same principle of propulsion, to be named the Encounter, will be launched from an adjacent dock in the course of three or four weeks.

It appears that at the tim e spoken of the ItiVintitnate man Ansley, who is at the adv ance d age of 62, and has been icr many years engaged at the Arundel stairs as waterman, was coming out of Arundel-street, and just i n the act of crossing the Stratad, when a carrier's cart came up at a moderate pace, until within a few yards. There were several other persons in the road at the time, endeavouring to obtain the opposite footpath as well as Ansley, but owing to the rapid movement of the horse, it having taken fright, I eforo they could get out of the way some of them were knocked down, the wheels passing over the body of the old imin, who was picked up in an insensible state. The blood flowed copiously from his face from the kicks of the horse. He was removed to the King's College Ilospital, and placed under the care of Mr. Smith, the houses urgent), who ascertained that he had sustained, in•!ependent of a fractured ihi!Ji, <everal broken ribs and a severe laceration of the scalp and other extensive injuries, so as to render his recovery quite hopeless. We are happy to state that the other patios escaped unhurt, beyond a new slight bruises. WINCHESTER.—It is rumoured that Queen Victoria intends honouring our ancient city with a visit shortly.

" The entire scheme comprised about 130 miles of new railway, and require:4 a capital of 2,500,0001., which was divided into 100,000 thares of 251. each " The Croy don Company, with a view to the promotion of the undertaking, entered into a guarantee that the expenses, in the event of no Act of incorporation being obtained, shoal(' not exceed 10i. per share. " The applications for shares exceeded the requisite number, and there NYSE every reason to conclude that the far greater portion of the 92,00 ) shares allotted would have been duly paid upon. The change, however, in public opinion was so great, that deposits were received on only 42,809 shares. " Under these circumstances, your Committee had to consider the best course to be pursued. Great expenses had aoeady been in curred in the surveys, which would have been entirely thrown away, and fallen exclusively on the Kent Atmospheric Company, had the scheme then been abandoned ; whilst, in the prosecution of the entire scheme, by any arrangement with other companies, or with out any such arrangement of any modified scheme, the future ex penses would be borne principally by the Croydon Railway Com pany, under their guarantee. " Your Committee first turned their attention to the possibility of carr: ing out the scheme in its integrity, and with that view they approached the amalgamated Committee of the Brighton and Croydon Companies, to ascertain whether, by their assist ance, the remainder of the required capital could be provided. Your Committee were met by a promise of the necessary assistance ; but, as the arrangement would have placed the Kent Atmospheric Railway Company too much in the power of the Brighton Rail way Company, whose interests might not in certain events be found coincident with those of the Croydon, and Kent Atmosphere Com pany's—it was considered for this and other reasons connected with the state of public opinion, inexpedient to avail themselves of the proffered assistance. " Your committee next opened a negotiation with the North Kent . . Company, which resulted in an arrangement to the effect, that the Kent Atmospheric Railway Company should confine their application to Parliament to a line to Tonbridge and Maidstone, and that the North Kent Company, if they succeeded In obtaining their Act, shnuld pay to the Kent Atmospheric Company 10,0001. towards the expenses already incurred, and give the.n, besides, the option of taking 5,000 shares in the North Kent Company. "Your Committee were induced to assent to this arrangement upon the following considerations :—Much money had already been ex pended ; the North Kent Company's success was sanguinely antici pated ; their scheme, in conjunction with a line through Mid-Kent to Tonbridge and Maidstone, was calculated to afford, though perhaps less completely and advantageously, as much railway accommodation to the county of Kent as the entire plait of the Kent. Atmospheric Railway Company—the interests of the Croydon Company would have been, to a great extent, protected— the subscribers to the Kent Atmospheric Company would have secured, in the event of the success of the North Kent Company, a larger payment to. ards expenses incurred, and shares in an under taking which were likely then to be highly valuable • and they had, besides, the best portion of Mid-Kent still open to their exertions. " The application to Parlament by this Company was accordingly confined to a line to Maidstone and 1 onbridge. The result of the Parliamentary contest is known ; the Bills of the North Kent Com pany and the Kent Atmospheric Company were both rejected by the Committee of the Commons. " In the House of Lords, the North Kent Line was withdraws upon some arrangement with the South-Eastern Company. The Kent Atmospheric Railway Company continued their opposition to the South-Eastern Mid-Kent lines ; and after a short, but spirited contest, succeeded in inducing the Lords to reject tile South-Eastern Bill. There is reason to believe, that if the North Kent Company had, in like manner, submitted the merits of their scheme to the Committee, the same fate would have attended the South-Eastern North Kent Bill. " The South-Eastern Company having, however, obtained powers to construct a railway only as far as Gravesend, the entire country proposed to be accommodated, and all the objects originally con templated by the scheme of the Great Kent Atmospheric Railway Company' - with the exception of the northern portion between London and Gravesend—were open to future consideration. " It became, therefore, a matter of anxiety to your Committee to devise some measure which would secure to the scripholders in the Kent Atmospheric Railway Company some advantage from the past expenditure, and which would, at the same time, enable your committee to return immediately the deposits, less the stipulated deduetion of 10s. per share, which they thought, under any view of the case, the scripholders would desire. "Your Committee are happy to state that they have (subject to the confirmation of the scripholders) arranged with the Lon don, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, that the plans, Sec.. of the Kent Atmospheric Company shall be handed over to that Company, and that the scripholders of this Company shall, in exchange, have the option of subscribing equally with the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company, or their proprietors, towards any capital which may directly or indirectly, by a new company, be raised by the Brighton and South Coast Railway Company, for the construction of any line of railway comprised in the scheme of this Company. " If this arrangement be confirmed, the scripholders will imme diately receive 40s. per share, and their names and residences will be recorded with a view to such future option. " The committee have not been enabled to ascertain the amount of their expenditure and liabilities, but an estimate has been framed, which would be submitted to the meeting by the Secretary ; by this it will clearly appear, that, under any circumstances, far more than the stipulated 10s. per share have been expended; and your committee therefore apprehend, that as the payment of the balance will rest with the Brighton and South Coast Company, the scripholders will not desire to delay the settlement of their accounts until the fb.al discharge of all claims. "The committee, although they have received several communi cations on the subject, do not anticipate any serious objection to the course they have adopted. " They have been entrusted with extensive powers, which they have endeavoured to execute faithfully. " They have throughout acted upon full advice and to the best of their judgment and ability, with the single object of doing, under the difficult circumstances in which they were placed, the best for the large interests confided to their charge." The CHAIRMAN commented briefly upon the report, and stated that 10,000 shares had been re: erved for the land owners on the line ; and, although 90,000 shares was the' number they intended to issue, they had actually issued 92,000. Of those shares a small number had been paid upon, in consequence, he supposed, of a change of opinion as to the propriety of prosecuting so many schemes at once. The di rectors took a s rious view of the matter, and, upon reflection, found they had but one course to pursue, and that was the one determined upon in the report they had just heard read. It seemed desirable pro,c‘oe R r•ekstmln .axtel.ded character, and he trusted the arrangement the committee had entered into would meet with the approbation of the scripholders at large. He concluded his very brief observa tions by moving a resolution adopting the report, and em powering the directors to carry out the objects it embraced. Mr. JOHNSON (a director) seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, as was also a resolution that the scrip holders would accept the 21. per share, proposed to be re turned to them by the committee of management. Mr. WISHAW wished to be informed whether the effect of the resolutions they had passed would amount to a dis,olu tion of the Company, and whether the meeting would have anicash statement laid before them? The CHAIRMAN said the Company was virtually dissolved, but whether completely so was a legal question into which he would not enter, and with which he thought they had nothing.to do. As to the expenses, he would read them a brief statement which the secretary had prepared. lie then read the followi,g account : Da. 1846.—T0 42,809 shares at 103. per share, to be paid by Kent Atmospheric Company £21,404 10 0 Deficiencies £42,535 3 3 Ca. By payments as per cash account 18,234 13 3 Outstanding claims estimated at £42,534 13 3 A PROPRIETOR inquired when the 21. per share would be returned? _ _ The CXAIAMAN replied, within a week. It was only on Saturday last that the agreement with the Brighton Com pany hau been entered into. Another l'aupatEToa wished to be satisfied that the Com pany was guaranteed from all liabliltty to contract any fur ther expenses? The CHAlRMAN—Certainly, the Company is virtually at an end. _ _ A vote of thanks to the committee, for their manage ment of the Company, was carried by acclamation; as was also one to the Chairman, for his c:)nduct at that meeting, and as chairman of the board of directors. The utmost unanimity prevailed, and the meeting only lasted about twenty minutes. WELLINGTON STATUE. A copy has just been issued, by order of the House of Commons, of the report of the Sub-Committee of the Wellington Military M..morial, enclosed in the Lener from his Grace the Duke of Rutland to the Viscount Melbourne, dated 14th July, 1839. This report is curious, as showing the original undertaking with re spect to the proposed position of the statue, which has latterly been the cause of such discussion and difference. The documents have, at various times, since May, 1838, been so frequently before the public, that it will be un necessary to quote at any length from them at the pre sent moment. The following extracts, however, may be here given : The meeting was accordingly held on Monday, the 28th of May, and was attended by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and twenty-one other members. "-At this meeting it was unanimously rt solved, upon the motion of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge— " That, in the opinion of the Committee, an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington will be the most suit able mode of carrying the object of the subscribers into eff,ct." It was then resolved, without any dissent or hesitation whatsoever, upon the motion of the Marquis of London derry— " That the summit of the triumphal arch n at i.l T , entrance into the Green Park, on Constiuti,nn n of the going out of Picca]illy, would. ini,,tnileon°Nlaich to place Committee, be an appropriate e sy h u e a r t jesty, the Queen's such equestrian statue, pr e o a eorge Cock- Upon Dual resolved — burn, it was unanimous Duke of Rutland, as Chairman p erump i osns i ot u he caa mo b ti e on ob o t f a t in he d v n ifd i o g r h t t h u at on p u r s p ir os G e. That his Grace the of this Committee, b e req r t e ie sp st e e n d tfu to l t a a n k d e such measures , for a s he may dm most humbly soliciting her Majesty's most gracious permis sion for erection of the statue on the triumphal arch." At that meeting (9th June) his Grace the Duke of Rutland stated that, having submitted to her Majesty and to the Government the proposition of th e l ast meet ing, for the erection of an equestrian statue of the Duke o p f ar, h e h Wellingtonad been nthe honoured arch at witht e her entrance m ,i je s o t) of ,ts gracious Green approbation and sanction, an d h a d received,. in the fol lowing letter from Lord Viscount Melbourne, the con currence of the Government : " Downing-street, May 30, 1838. " My clear Duke,---With respect to the wish of the subscribers to the Wellington testimonial, to be allowed to place the statue of his Grace upon the arch at the entrance into the Royal Park, I beg leave to inform your Grace, that after a consultation with Lord Dun cannon and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I am pre pared to advise her Majesty to accede to the wish of the subscribers, provided it is undertaken that tho se who are to manage the work will act upon commun i cat ion and in agreement with the architect, Mr. Decimus Burton, and also will lay before the Lords of the Treasury a plan of what is intended to be done, for their approba tion, before the work is actually commenced. " I have, &c., (Signed) MELBOURNE. "To his Grace the Duke of Rutland." Upon receiving this report the Committee resolved unanimously, upon the mot ion of his Grace the Duke of " That the dutiful and grateful thanks of the Com mittee be humbly tendered to the Queen, for her Ma jesty's gracious acquiescence in their wishes," DUTCH MAIL. THE HAcuE, AUG. s.—His Majesty the King to os pected to return to the Hague in eight or ten days, and after that to make a journey to Silesia. To give an idea of the great concourse of people yesterday at Scheveningen, we will mention that 3,000 persons were conveyed thither by the stage-coaches and omnibuses, and that the number of, private ear' riages were estimated at 600. To-day is the 18th an niversary of the birthday of the Princess Wilhelmenia daughter of his Royal Highness Prince Fredericle The last accounts from the East Indies to the end of. April, state that the sickness which had so long Pre' veiled among the European inhabitants of Ambor e bad abated, and though feiers were still prevalent, the number of patients diminished, and deaths were of rare occurrence. In the dominion of the Sultan of Sumanap. in the island of Madure, a violent sickness had attacked 4, 0 persons, chiefly inhabitants on the coast, of whom 629 were carried off by it. A rapid change for the better bad taken place. In the month of March, ten pirate vessels, auplAs ed he to belong to one of the Soloe islands, appeared Off island of Kangean, east of Madura. The pirates landed and killed or carried off several persons. The chief n i the island quickly a.sembled an armed force, but Wes unable to fall in with them. Four native trading vessels were captured near an , rontale, in the island of Celebes, by six pirate vesse ls ' supposed to be Tabellorese. It seems that the want of ships to convey the treeP l4 occasioned by the late arrival of the merchantmen er petted from the Netherlands, was one cause of the de l6l of the expedition against Bali.
