The Directors have much pleasure in announcing that in consequence of the atten tion of the public having been lately directed to the subject of Patent Fuel, the merits of the Steam Fuel of this Company manu facture:l with pitch, have been fully established; and, independent of its being a preservative of health on board ship, it contains supe rior capabilities of quickly raising steam, retention of strength in a tropical climate, impossibility of spontaneous combustion, and eco nomy in stowage, by which fully twenty-five per cent. in bulk is saved. Cargoes of this fuel are now being shipped at Liverpool from this Company's works at Queen's Ferry, Flintshire, and con tracts to a considerable amount, extending over the next three years, have also been submitted to the Directors, which will be exe cuted as soon as the Company's works in South Wales are completed.

Extract of a Letter dated Munich, 12th September, 1852, from Baron Liebig to Mr. Henry Allsopp, Brewery, Burton-on-Trent. "To my great astonishment and concern, my attention has lately been called to several anonymous articles and advertisements headed by my name, such as in the --, whose author altogether misrepl•esents the motives of my remarks, and even goes so far as to say 'that I had never analysed your beer, nor perhaps ever tasted it In my life,' and to allege a retractation on my part of the original statement. " I emphatically declare that I had not the slightest knowledge of these anonymous articles, the contents of which I entirely disapprove of; and that in every respect I adhere to the statement made in my letter to you, which certainly you were, and are at perfect liberty to publish." " Munich, 12th September, 1852. [T. No. 6.] BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, NEW-ROAD, LONDON. THE lIYGEIAN OR MORISONIAN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE. I. All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids. 2. While in a state of embryo, all animals consist entirely of fluids. 3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed. 4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the weight of the solids. 5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all others are derived. 6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine, but also carries with it all the rubbish or decayed parts, to be depo sited in the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the ex crement. 7. The blood is the life—the primum mobile—the first agent—from which all others derive their origin. a. Health depends upon the purity of the blood. 9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free eutlets for its decayed particles. 10. Disease is induced by the choking np of these outlets in the bowels by reason of an accumulation of glary mucus on the inner surface of the intestines, &c. 11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and bad treatment of the Faculty. 12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the parti cular locality in which it is lodged. 13. AU diseases arise from one source, therefore they may all be cured by one medicine. 14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it self, yet sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear away the abovementioned mucus, and purify the blood. 15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy requisite for ridding the body of all superfluous humours, was a de sideratum. 16. This discovery has been made by JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist, in the composition of the Vegetable Universal Medicine, commonly known as Morison's Pills, of the British College of Health, Hamilton-place, King's-cross, New-road, London. AUTUMN. —For the last three months samples of new materials have been daily pouring in from all the celebrated manufactories in the world, The amplitude of pattern and magnificent finish displayed in these new styles for Autumn have afforded full scope for the matured judgment of E. MOSES and SON'S buyers, and the novelty, quality, and price of the goods offered to them in preference to any other Establishment, induced them to give the earliest orders on their usual magnificent scale. These new materials, for every description of Dress, are now sub mitted to the incomparable skill of distinct classes of artists, British and Foreign. in the employ of E. MOSES and SON, and will shortly be presented in novel styles, surpassing every other invention. E. MOSES and SON, by immense purchases on their invariable ready-money principle, have secured great allowances, and conse quently their new styles for Autumn will be charged lower than on any previous season.

Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Ball, Lambeth-butts, on the body of Jane Perry, whose death was alleged to have been causd by her husband's violence on Sunday morning last. The husband w as taken into custody at the time, and brought before Mr. Elliott, at the Lambeth Police-court, on Monday, wh en ho was remanded to await the result of the present in quiry. George Mitchell, who lodged in the same house as deceased and the prisoner, stated that the ;former was very much intoxicated on Saturday night; that she and her husband quarrelled; that he heard a scuffle on the floor above and a fall; and that afterwards the husband came down stairs and said his wife was lying at the bot tom of the stairs. Witness assisted him up with the deceased, who was quite dead; but he could not tell how she got at the bottom of the stairs. Mr. Thompson, a surgeon, said he had examined the deceased, and he was of opinion that death was caused by concussion of the brain by deceased falling on her left temple while in a state of intoxication.

In the list of St. James the Evangelist, Garlick bill, the name of James Wise, 193, Upper Thames-street, was objected to by the Conservatives, on the ground that he had left his residence and gone abroad.

The REVISING BAR RISTER (addr ess i n g Mr. Brown) said he did not think that 7 e . would hurt him. Mr. Brown said this w as a most egregious sum to award in such a case as costs. Surely an cbjection taken to a person gone to Austr alia could not he considered a frivolous ground of objection. The REVISING BARRISTER said that it might be a good groucd of objection next year, but was not so now, and adhered to his former order for 78. costs. The other lists presented no feature of public interest. MIDDLESEX. DISFRANCHISEMENT OF FREER OL — Yesterday Mr. Lawrence Shanwell, the revising bar rister, held a court at the Belved ere, Penton•street, Pen - tonville, to revise the list of voters for the King' 3 *" . " 3 district. The court was crowded during the day. Mr. T. Alley Jones appeared for the Conservatives, and Mr. James for the Liberals. The freehold land societies were represented by M r. J. Wells,solicitor, and Mr. Sidney Smith and M r . R obert Russell. Philip Samuel Bardons, of N o. 1, Stanhope-street, Hampstead-road, claimed to b e on the register as the holder of a freehold, No. 1, Fre e h old -street, Long Sands, Holloway. He gave 28/. 6s. f or the plot, and produced his deed. The land was worth 4/, a yew. Mr. Jones expressed a doubt as to the value of the land, and called upon Mr. Pri c k ett and Mr. J. M. Ma clure,its valu surveyors, who had insp ected the land, to speak as to e. Mr. Prickett said that as g r ass land it was worth thirty years' purchase, but when covered with small years' buildings it would not be worth more than twenty purchase. Mr. Mortimer Timpson, a builder, purchased the land from the original vendor for 1,040/. Since the purchase was made 2,900/. had been laid out upon it in sewers, drains, and roads. The plot cons i sted of 12 acres,which was divided into 238 allotment s . pro Mr. Jones— a y ßy this statement yo u are then making a fit of 900/. ear. Tho BARRISTER—Each plot is sold for 28/, 65., is it not? Mr. Timpson—That is the ca se. The BARRISTER could not all ow the claim. Had the land been worth 50/., and yi e ld ed 40s. clear of all charge, then it would be a case for conferring the fran chise. Further evidence having been gone into, The BARRISTER decided th a t the claim could not be admitted. This decision disfranchises no less than seventy-three shareholders in one society. Joseph Bolton claimed for a plot of freehold land on the Stoke Newington Estate, which he had purchased from the National Freehold Land Society, and which he declared to be of the annual value of 6/. a year and up wards. Mr. Sidney Smith demanded proof of the notices on the overseers. The BARISTER held copies of the notices, which be deemed sufficient. The evidence he required was as to the value of the property. Mr. Smith persevered in his demand of proof of ser vice; and refusing to give evidence as to qualification. The BARRISTER disallowed the claim. The next claim was that of J. Coxford, which was similar to the preceding, and disposed of on the same ground. Mr. Sidney Smith then claimed on behalf of William Harvey. The BARRISTER asked for evidence as to the value of the property. Mr. Smith again asked for proof of the serviee of no tice on the overseers, which The BARRISTER deemed sufficiently proved, and struck out the name. Mr. Smith asked for a case for appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, referred to a decision of that Court, and The BARRISTER emphatically refused. Upon which Mr. Smith said he would take the case before Pa r li ament. Sir Joshua W a l msley, through of the C onservative agent, narrowly escaped being dis franchised, as a member of a similar society. The Court sat t i l l a late hour, and the greatest excite ment prevailed. the strenuous exertions W ESTMINSTER, IMPORTANT DECISION Mr. Mo.equeen resumed his sittings Lords Justices' Court, Westminster, for the revision of the lists of voters for the city and liberty of came West minster.

STIRLING, TUESDAY EVENING.—Lord John Rus sell being resident this season at the Garth, near Stir ling, the magistrates and council of that burgh re solved to present hi 3 Lordship with the freedom (f the corporation. Arrangements were made for receiving his Lordship in the Court-house to-day, that the honour might be publicly conferred on him; and at half-past one o'clock, when he arrived, he was loudly cheered by a large concourse of people in the square, and a crowded attendance of the principal inhabitants of the burgh within the building. The Noble Lord was accompanied to the platform by the Lord Provost and magistrates, the Dean of Guild, the Treasurer of the burgh, Sir James Anderson, the Member for the Stirling burghs, and several members of the town-council. Lady Russell and several mem bers of the family were also present. Provost SAWERS, then addressing Lord John Rus- sell, said—l now address you in the name of the ma- ex pressed burgh, i gisfrates, town council, and inhabitants of Stirling, on the freedo m of this ancient royal burgh. Your Lord occasion of presenting your Lordship with the Lord ship havingg, taken up your residence for a time in by the citizens of Stirling that you should t the freedom of neighbourhood, a general feeling was ex be asked country.—(Ch to accept the virtues especially of the adorn your high rank, but more which have is testimony of the sense we entertain of raised distinguished talents and patriotism country.--(Cheers.) r s s e d we have in our power It is the highest compliment r to con f er, and I have much pleasure in stating that the r P oposal was unanimously agreed to by the town c men holding different political composed of gentle opinions. Though we have on some points differences o com munity we are ardently attached to opinion as a civil and religious liberty, and cannot the principles of of how much we owe to the illustrious be unmindful Bed ford for the sacrifices they hav e made i house of this nation those privileges it now en j o y:... securing to enjoys,_ (Cheers.) ancestor of your Lordship, who li ve d i n rheers.) times, I mean Lord William Russell, suffered death leath for holding those principles. Another distinguished member of the same family, the fourth Duk e of Bed ford, 100 years ago, gave utterance to this noble sentiment, then held by few, that it was his settled maxim " that persecution for religious principles only added strength to the sect it was intended to destroy," and we cannot forget the efforts which have been made by your Lordship in recent times to secure for the nation freedom and toleration.—(Cheers.) Your great public services, and the virtue displayed in your life, have secured for you the respect of your country, and it is our earnest wish that your Lordship may long be spared to the country, of which you have been such a distinguished and valuable servant, and to adorn the list of burgesses of this royal burgh.— (Cheers.) Allow me, therefore, to place in your hands this diploma. The Provost then banded to Lord John Russell the burgess-ticket, which was thus inscribed : " At Stirling, the 21st day of September, in the year 1852, which day the Magistrates and Town-Council of the burgh of Stirling being convened, they receive and admit the Right Hon. Lord John Russell to the liberty and freedom of a burgess, qua guild brother of tho said burgh, with power to him to use and exercise the whole liberties, privileges, and immunities thereto belonging, as full and freely in all respects as any other burgess has used and exercised, or may use and exercise, the same at any time, bygone or to come." The diploma was Snely lithographed and had the cor porate seal of the burgh attached to it, the whole being placed in a silver box ornamented by the burgh arms. In conclusion the Provost said, " Allow me just to say, that rarely indeed do the burgesses of Stirling confer this honour on any of their fellow countrymen." _ _ _ Lora Jonsr RUSSELL, who was much cheered, said —Mr. Provost, ladies, and gentlemen, I beg leave to return my heartfelt thanks for the honour that has been done me by the Provost and Town• Council of Stirling. I deem it a very great distinction to have been chosen a burgess of a burgh so renowned in ancient history, so favoured by its natural position, and so well known for its patriotism in modern times. I feel it a still greater compliment that, as your provost has said, gentlemen of different political opinions from mine have concurred in conferring upon me this honour.—(Cheers.) I cannot expect—no man can expect, in this free country, that the opinions he may hold, as those which seem to him best calcu lated for the benefit of the country, should meet with the concurrence of all the various parties into which this country is divided ; but it is a proud thing, and I feel it to be a proud thing, that the intention has been recognised of endeavouring, to the best of my power, to serve that country to which I belong.— (Loud cheers.) You have alluded, Sir, to some st.r • vices which it was my good fortune to perform in the cause of religious liberty. I entirely concur in that sentiment to which you have referred—that religious persecution only strengthens the sect which it is in tended to suppress; but beyond the great motive of policy, I think it is our duty not, on account of reli gious difference of opinion, to subject cur fellow-sub jects, in possession of as great a right to serve the country as we have, to any penalty or disability on account of that difference of religious opinion. The great ruling maxim on this subject was given by a monarch who reigned over this country, William 111., when he said, " Conscience is God's province."—(Cheers.) That maxim, I conceive, contains the whole of what is justice and policy on this matter.—(Cheers.) There is another subject to which I may likewise be permitted to refer ; it is that question in which for many years—l may say for more than ten years—l was engaged, and which about 20 years ago I was so fortunate, under the direction of Lord Grey, to bring to a successful termination—l mean the ques tion of an improved representation of the people in Parliament.—(Cheers.) Whatever might be the de fects of that representationin England and in Ireland, I think no one can deny that in Scotland some change was needed to adapt that representation to the intelligence, to the power, to the wealth of the people of this part of the United Kingdom.—(Cheers.) And I think the extent of the change that was then made may be somewhat appreciated when .1 say that, according to my belief, the numbers who at the last election for Edinburgh polled for Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Cowan, and made them the successful candi dates, was a sufficient number to have elected the whole of the representatives for Scotland before the Reform Bill was introduced I—(Cheers.) Not more than 3,000 persons had then the right of electing the representatives for every county and every burgh in Scotland; and I am sure it that state of things had lasted to the present day, it would not have been a matter of contest or party dispute, but all parties would have agreed that s uc h a state things could no longer continue.—(Ch ee rs.)Yoout will permit me, perhaps, to allude to another subject, difference of upon which, though there has been great owphienniotnh,elmthininokritwyewairlel approachinginndoewedbe the time subject on which the late Sir sEoall—l mean tbs . !

Ido not even say that I should have taken should be approved by y m otiv es not to be mis construed ; but it • expect m- grea t satisfaction to find that is's:l a the inhabitants of this burgh, , have not this town-counci l, Araued these motives, and that they believe I did rn inisco y n b es t for the benefit of my country. —(Loud cheers.)

I must say that, while I am one of those who most admired that great man, I am not one of those who think that we ought to be so dazzled by the fame of his exploits that we should not endeavour to gather objects of imitation even from the conduct of a man so great and so illustrious. While many of the actions of his life—while many of th e qualities which he possessed are unattainable b y others, there are lessons which we may all d er i ve from the life and the actions of that illustrious man. It may never be given to another subject of the British Crown to perform services so brilliant as he performed; • it may never be given to another man to hold the sword which was to gain independence for Europe, to rally the nations around it, and saved herself by her constancy example; it may never begiven to save after having attained such eminence, ampled series of victories, to sho w e while England Europe by her to another man , after an unex qual moderation i n peace as he had shown greatness in war, an d to d ev ote the remainder of his lif e to inter nal and external peace for that country which the n cause of e • h he had 1 so served; it may never be given to another man to have equal authority, both with the Sovereign be Free, by Post, for 18 Stamps. • WELLINGTON: the STORY of his LIFE, his BATTLES, and POLITICAL CARVER.

C O MFORT in SHAVING depends on the proper use of a good Razor, an efficient Strop, and a Paste to renovate the surface of the Strop when it becomes black and choked with the steel from the Razor; to these must be added a Soap that will not dry suddenly on the face, and a smooth taper-pointed elastic Shaving brush.

PORTSAWITTEf, WEDNESDA Y.—A new lifeboat or raft was exhibited in this harbour to-day, ordered to be reported upon by Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent. This raft is the invention of Mr. George F. Parrett, of the Treasury, and is termed " the tubular life raft." When shut up it assumes the ap pearance of a flat-bottomed boat, occupying about the space of a " longboat" on board ship. A keel, or rather platform, below the boat is connected to a spar above by means of a central pivot through the boat, and three stanchions at each end. The keel and spar revolve on rollers, and are, therefore, easily placed a thwart midships. Four wings , ar e then hauled out to the end of the keel, thus forming a square. Each wing contains a large tube of vulcanized India rubber, inflated by means of an air pump at either end of the boat. The wings carry out a surface of netting, and which netting also extends on the exterior of the tubes. The boat also contains lockers for provisions. It is scarcely necessary to add that when the machine is properly unfolded and inflated a large number of persons could be safely placed until assistance could be rendered in case of a shipwreck. A square space covered prevents it from capsizing, and the tubes are of such a magnitude that the boat cannot sink, even when filled with water. The official experiment was made of the boat or raft's capabilities this day at one o'clock, alongside the Excellent, by the inventor, in the presence of Captain Chads and a large body of other officers. The raft was expanded and the tubes inflated, and it was ready for use in about 10 minutes. Captain Chads then directed 50 men to be placed on the extremity, on one side wing, which was done, but without any visible effect as to capsizing. 60 more were then placed inside the boat, and about 50 more were added on the other side or wing, all of whom could safely hold on in any sea. The trial appeared to us to carry conviction of its success, although as to what Captain Chads's report may be we know no thing. But the invention, springing out of a vivid recollection of the perils in which the inventor was personally placed, when shipwrecked some time a go , when he saw upwards of 100 persons sink without help before his eyes, certainly evinces great merit, and appears very s imple and handy. A trial i n a dangerous sea would, we believe, still better develop its excellences and capabilities. SHEERNESS, WEDNESDAY MORNING. - Her Ma jesty's iron screw troop-ship Megmra, 6, Commander Johnson, has completed the alterations deemed re quisite by the report of the officers who recently sur veyed her internal arrangements, and is expected to leave the port to-morrow (Thursday) for Woolwich, to receive stores and embark troops. It was estimated she could conveniently accommodate 400 soldiers in addition to her own crew. With the view, however, that sufficient space should be allotted to every person on board, and with a due consideration to the individual comfort of each, the authorities have issued orders that the number of troops to be placed on board shall not exceed 350. On her late voyage to the Cape she conveyed 750 souls besides her own crew and the requisite stores. Her Majesty's paddle. wheel steam-sloop Barracouta, commanded pro tem. by Captain the Hon. S. T. Car negie, arrived here yesterday noon from Portsmouth. The officers and crew who have served in her during her attendance on the royal squadron, and her voyage to and from Madeira, will forthwith be transferred to their own vessel, the Horatio screw steam guardship, the Barracouta resuming her former position as one of the advanced steam squadron of reserve. _ _ _ Her Majesty's paddle-wbeel steam-vessel Adder ar rived here yesterday at 8.45. A.M., having on board Captain Richards, of the Boscawen, guard-ship of or dinary at Chatham, and other officers, whose attend ance was required at a court-martial on board the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship. Her Majesty's brig Bittern, 12, Commander Van sittart, is reported ready to leave the fitting basin on the 25th inst. A court-martial took place yesterday on board the Waterloo, flag-ship, to try an ordinary seaman named Banks on a charge of desertion. The proceedings were of brief duration. Tne prisoner having been found guilty of the charge preferred against him was sentenced to imprisonment for the space of six months. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 21.—Captain Matson, of the Ilighflyer, came on shore (after the ship was at anchor), and paid his respects to the commander in chief and the commodore superintendent of the dockyard, and after returning on board put to sea about 7 30 F.M. on Monday.

NORWICH, SEPT. 22.—Yesterday evening, though the weather was cold and uncomfortable, St. An drew's-hall was well filled, and presented a goodly display of the rank, fashion, and beauty of the city and county. Most of the seats, however, in the patron's gallery, were unoccupied. The Lord Bishop of the diocese and Baron Alderson were present, and many gentlemen who appeared to be foreigners. The orchestra contained about 100 instrumentalists, chiefly from London, and 300 of the chorus. The singing of Herr Formes, Sims Reeves, and Madame Viardot Garcia was highly appreciated, and led to several encores; but many pieces most tastefully executed by other vocalists received less than a fair share of applause. The second part of the evening's entertainment—Mrs. Fanny Kemble's reading of the Midsummer Night's Dream, with Mendelssohn's music, disappointed great numbers. Mrs. Kemble exerted herself to the utmost, and for the first hour made her fine voice ring through the hall. But the most consummate art, compass, and modulation of voice, could not sustain the interest of a drama so devoid of action to the end. The entrancing fairy like music introduced at intervals, and played i n first-rate style by the band, did not prevent the per formance from being wearisome, and after eleven o'clock the galleries presented quite a deserted appearance. This (Wednesday) morning, although the weather was extremely fine, the hall was not more than half filled, a circumstance which is, no doubt, partly attri butable to the fact that Dr. Bexfield's much oratorio, Israel Restored, announced for thi s mornin, had been very recently performed befor e a full hall, at one of the Choral Society's concerts. A. larger number of ladies and gentlemen, however, occupied the pa tron's gallery than on th e p rev i ous evening. The perform ance of Israel Restored was well received. As a tribute of respect to the memory of t h e late Duke of Wellington, the following selection from Hof andel's oratorio Samson was given after the oratorio : Ye sons of Israel now lament Your spear is b ro k e , your brow unbent , Your glory's fled— Among the dead Our hero lies, For ever closed his eyes. DEAD DIARCII.--CholllB. Glorious hero, may thy grave Peace and honour ever have: Atter all thy pains and woes, Rest eternal, sweet repose." A full hall is confidently expected this evening, when a selection of miscelleneoua music will be performed. SHAmE.—An Irish lady wrote to her lover, beggi ng him to send her some money.

That sincere and unceasing devotion to our country, that honest and upright determination to act for the be nefit of the country on every occasion—that devoted loyalty which, while it made him ever anxious to serve the Crown, never induced him to conceal from the Sovereign that which he believed to be the truth —that devotedness in the constant performance of his duty—that temperance of his life which enabled him at all times to give his mini and his faculties to the services which he was called upon to perform—that regular, consistent, and unceasing piety by which be was distinguished at all times in his life —these are qualities that are attainable by others, and these are qualities which should not be lost as an example. Let us hope, therefore, that while we render every honour to the memory of the Duke of Wellingto n — w hi le everything that can be done by the Sovereign and by the country to show how they estimate their loss should be observed, let us not think that when we have performed these services and rendered these honours, our duty is then over. Let us all re collect that there was a man of whom this coun try was justly proud, and that among other qua lities we have those which it is within the power of all to imitate, and which we may all endea vour to attain.—(Cheers.) This much I have said —I could not refrain from saying it; I trust you will excuse me for doing so, as the subject so much occupied my mind. Perhaps lam the more justified in saying what I have done, because there were few, perhaps there were no persons, except the late Lord Melbourne and myself, who could bear this testimony —that however he might differ in political sentiments with the person who held the chief office in the politi cal service of the State, he was as willing, as ready, as forward in giving every assistance that he thought for the benefit of the country to one who differed in poli cal opinions as he would have been to the dearest of his political friends.—(Cheers.) And now, gentlemen, let me again thank you for the honour you have done me in conferring upon me the freedom of the burgh of Stirling.

SINDE AND BEIAWULPORE. In answer t) a question from Colonel DICKENSON, The CHAIRMAN stated that the papers relating t o the case of Allee Moored, Nawaub of Bhawulpore, had been already laid before the House of Lords, in cluding the proclamation of January 21, 1852, for the annexation of the Nawaub's territories, and that si milar papers would be laid before the House of Com mons on the meeting of Parliament. Colonel DICKENSON gave notice of a motion to pro. duce the report of the Commission appointed in 1851 to investigate the case of Alle Moored, with the mi. 'lutes of Council thereof: ; also the report of Sir G. Clerk on Siude. SURVEY OF INDIA. Colonel DICKENSON said that, at a former sitting of the Court, the late chairman had promised that steps should be taken for making the mops of the trigo nometrical survey accesaih:e to the proprietors. He wished to know if the portions relating to the Boni. bay Pre.idency were yet completed, and it all the existing routes or lines of roads were laid down in it. The CUAIEMAN said the maps of the survey were published in sections, and those relating to Bombay were not yet completes. It was utterly impossible to give all the existing lines of road in these maps, but no doubt the principal lines would be given. lode pendently of those to which he alluded, Mr. Walker, under the instructions of the Court, was now prepar ing a very large and complete map of India. He could not pledge himself as to the exact time at which it would be ready, but he believed in a month or six weeks ; and, when completed, it would be the most perfect map of India ever published. Under the authority of the Quartermaster-General of Bombay, a road-book had also been prepared of the roads of Bombay, which, he presume I from its name, would include all the routes both great and small. Mr. Walker's map, witb this road. book, would, he thought, afford the Honourable Proprietor all the information he could desire, and he wou ld engage that orders should be sent out by the present mail to transmit home copies. Mr L - EWIN gave notice of the following motio ns : —.4 , 1. That this Court is of opinion that the privilege of voting at the election of Directors of the East India Company should be extended to parties holding stock of the Government of India. 2. That this Court is of opinion that opportunity should be a fforded to natives of I n di a of being heard by their represen . - stehne Easttati Indiaesin Company" DECEASE about to take place n Parliament relati ve t o th e renewal of the charter of W ELLINGTON.
