BY order of the Committee of Management, C. LOCOCK WEBB, Secretary, S OUTH UNION Ttte lO e N of R A A IL LW AND BIRMINGHAM A Z . t of the above Rail wayiFriday, the 19th e ultimo, n at the offices of Companyll lee t Meeting of the heldCj oui the Company, No. 17, Fludyer-street, Westminster, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, to take into consideration the state of affairs, and the course it would become them to take, in consequence r of the Plans and Set tions not having been duly lodged, as well as in consequence of their extremely defective state. These two facts having been clearly demonstrated, the Committee felt that, in justice to the shareholders, there was no course open but that of immediately checking all further outlay, and proceeding to wind up the affairs of the Company for this year. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : " That as the gross negligence of the engineer and lithographer, relative to the Plans and Sections, has rendered it impossible to proceed to Parliament in the ensuing session with any chance of success, this Committee deem it advisable to wind up this concern as promptly as possible for this session, rather than involve the Company in further expenses at the present time." "That, accordingly, the sum of twenty eight shillings per share be forthwith returned to the shareholders by an order on the Com pany's Bankers, to be granted at the offices, No. 17, Fludyer-street, NYunt usinctor, on procinon, kho 0.,a le, owl a memoranuum be in dorsed thereon, which will entitle each holder to the same number of shares in the new Company, with an allowance per share on the deposit then required, equal to the present deduction of 12s. per share." " That all outstanding accounts be called in immediately, in order, if found correct, that they may be discharged." " That after liquidation of all claims on the Company, the balance of deposits then remaining in hand (if any) to be retained towards the new Company, to be immediately formed for the same objects as this Company had in view." " That those parties who have not yet paid the deposits on the shares allottrd to them, be requested to pay their proportionate amount towards liquidation of the expenses within ten days after notice shall he given to that effect." " That this decision of the Committee, with a report of the pro ceedings, showing the unjustifiable conduct, by weans of which the ;ompany has been brought to this unexpected termination, be pub lished twice in the London papers—viz., Morning Herald and Sun— for the information and satisfaction of the shareholders, and that an account of the receipt and expenses be also published and circulated amongst the proprietors as soon as the same can be ascertained." REPORT. The Committee have to report that nothing has been wanting on their part, or on that of their solicitors and secretary, to insure the success of the undertaking. The solicitors' department having been conducted with great care and ability, and the Book of Reference having been ready for deposit in ample time, the failure in the deposit of Plans and Sections is en tirely to be attributed to the neglect of the engineer and his assist ants—ft neglect the more extraordinary, inasmuch as at a very early date the Committee were repeatedly assured by the engineer that everything in his department was in the most advanced state. The assurance that the plans and sections would be complete long before the 30th, was repeate d at two several meetings of some of th e Committee: , at Birmingham in the middle of No vem b er, and retie ra clove ted o i f n them London on th, fromuntil, day to day, and from hour t o h our, towards the tired out by the frequ ent excuses for not producing the same, several members of the Committee resolved to convince themselves as to the real state of things by an investigation at the lithographer's office, when, to their extreme astonishment, they found that, even so late as Saturday afternoon, the sections had not been engraved. By dint of the greatest exertions, however, this part of the duty was at lengtk got through, though, as it afterwards proved, in a most defective manner. V •.••••••••.... On the morning of the 30th the lithographer ceased his labours, really, or pretending to be, broken down by exertion. At this sritical moment of the proceedings three of the Committee and the solicitor found themselves reduced to the necessity of assist ing personally in the lithographer's work, and in arranging and binding up the sheets, and by these means, at length, in the afternoon of the 30th, the Plans and Sections were dispatched to their several destinations ; but notwithstanding every exertion, especially on the part of Mr. Woody, one of the Committee, and of the local agents intrusted with this duty, the Deposits were too late to comply with the standing orders of Parliament. The Committee have only further to add, that they have endea voured to do their duty faithfully to the shareholders, but after all their labours (the Sections being, on examination, found so utterly worthless) they consider the only honest course left them to pursue is that which is embodied in the resolutions before-mentioned.

For derangements of the digestive organs and obstructions, a sluggish action of the liver and bowels, which occasions more or less the fol lowing symptoms, viz., headhunt, giddiness, acidity, headache, sickness, spasms, and flatulent distentions of the stomach and bowels, drowsiness and dimness of sight, an uncomfortable sensa tion experienced at the pit of the stomach soon after eating, with a canna' of a weight of oppression, appetite impaired, breathing diffi cult, tenderness about the region of the liver, bowels irregular, some times obstinately costive with languor and depression of spirits.

Druggist. DR. BUCKLAND'S EA TING-HOUSE. (From Punch.) An eating-house on a novel, economic, and scientific principle, is about to be established, to be called the " Dr. Buck land's Head;" the dishes at which establish ment will be prepared on the principle recommended by the Reverend Dean of Westminster, who has identified himself with a new plan for feeding the people. The Doctor's favfmrite dishes of starch, peas, and mangel wurzel, will he served up in every variety to tempt the public appetite. "I here will be an ordinary at one, con. sisting of three courses, the first of which will con sist of— False collars a la Brummell, which will comprise a very strong starchy soup, the nu tritious qualities of which will be quite indisputable. This will be followed up by Mouchoir de Poche ri la Tutbury, consisting of a delicious entree of fricasseed pocket handkerchiefs, starched to the same degree that was found so beneficial in prolonging the existence of the old lady of the place alluded to. This will be followed by a third course of Split Peas au Naturel ; and for the benefit of those who prefer it, there will be the alternative of burnt bones. There will of course be Mangel-wurzel a Discretion, which will render the eatables complete, while the drink able will consist of Eau Chaude a la Polar Party. We have very little dte that a few eating-houses established on these principles in different parts of the town would be eminently successful as speculations ; and we strongly recommend some enterprising indivi dual, with capital enough to buy a pint of peas, a pound of starch, and a bunch of mange! wurzel to try the experiment. Liebig, the well-known chemist, has just been created Baron by the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt. We are authorised to state that the number of Captains of the Royal Navy who have volunteered to retire, under t i l l e n 2 o t r , o a f n t d whereas helstAug th u e nustlasmtbehr required avin to make the measure amounted to no more measure of retirement effectual was 300, the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty cannot accept o f t h e li s t o f retire ment as it now stands, but the whole subject is still under consideration. ROBBERY AT A COAST-GUARD STATION.- - Friday information was circulated among the Metropolitan and City police that some thief or thieves had, by some means, entered the station of the Coast-guard at Cotton, Lowestoft, near Yarmouth, and stolen therefrom nine pistols, which are de. vribed as having the Government (commonly called the Tower) mark upon the barrels, and flint locks, brass mounted, stop locks, swivel ram rods, barrels 4i inches long, rings upon the ends, by which they are fastened to the person using them at sea, and maker's name engraved upon the locks, " Barnet." The audacity of the robbery has tioubtlessly thrown the parties connected with the above station into considerable exc:tetnent, as it might probably have been effected by some bold smugglers, or through their iustrumentality, in order to farther their designs.

The Company's Rooks showing the details of the above account, and also a Copy of the Plans and Book of Reference deposited witle the Board of Trade, lie at the Company's Office for the inspection of the Scripholders. All the 28,000 shares in this Company were originally allotted to the public without any reservation. Each member of the Committee had a limited allotment, provided that he signed the deeds and paid the deposit thereon the same as any other person ; and many of the Committee are at the present time large shareholders. Several persons to whom allotments were made disposed of their lette 's to parties who paid the deposits thereon, and applied to sign the deeds ; but ' , Lich applications were in all cases refused, the deposit money returned, and the letters of allotment cancelled ; and no one is a subscriber to the deeds whose character and condition had Lot been carefully inquired into and approved of by the Committee. Thus 731 shares remain unappropriated, and the Committee have deemed it advisable to retain this number for the purpose ofqualifying gentlemen eligible to become members of the Committee, who must be original allot sea and sign the deeds. It will be seen by the balance sheet that a strict regard to a wise economy has been observed in administering the funds of the Com pany. No money has been spent in advertisements or other mea sures in order to raise the price of the scrip in the market; but the Committee, having ever had in view the success of the undertaking, have spared no expense in the accomplishment of all objects cal culated to promote the incorporation of the Company. The plans and sections have been completed with the greatest ac curacy and care by the Company's able engineers, Sir John Macneill and James Thomson, Esq., and have been duly deposited. and the notices to landowners and others have been served, in conformity with the standing orders of Parliament ; and every detail has been attended to in the most careful manner, so that no company can pos sibly go to Parliament better prepared, or with stronger claims to that success which it is confidently expected will attend this Com pany. In order to enable the Committee of Management to make the ne cessary deposit with the Accountant-General, a further sum of 7s. 6d. per share is required. Scripholders resident in the metropolis are therefore requested to present their Scrip Certificates between the 20th and 31st January instant, to the Secretary, at the Comp my's Office, who will receive the deposit and register the same.

PARIS AND LYONS, A meeting of the shareholders in the Paris and Lyons (Ganneron's line), was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, for the purpose of hearing the report of the Committee of Management upon the subject of the amalgamation with other companies for a similar object which has taken place, and to hear the statement of the chairman with respect to the allotment of shares in the amalgamated company. Mr. F. Mowatt was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceeding; stated that the meeting was called in consequence of the nego tiation whit'h had been for some time pending with respect to an amalgamation with other companies having been brought to a conclusion. The Directors of this line (Gan 'wen's) had attainel a very advantageous position as re garded the possibility c.f its success ; but as the period of adjudication approached, the state of the money and share markets became such, as to convince the Com mittee of Management of the expediency of an amal gamation with various other companies which had or ganised for the same purpose.—(Hear, hear.) That amalgamation had at length been effected, after con siderable difficulty, with the French Directors, the mte jority of whom had a comparatively trivial pecuniary interest in the Company, and who looked rather to the position of administrateurs than to the absolute pe cuniary stake in the undertaking.—(Hear, hear.) After a long negotiation they had, however, been brought within the reach of reason by having placed, at their disposal 3,000 shares, which would be equal to about 400 definite shares in the constituted Company. In the amalgamation this Company was placed on the footing of the most favoured companies ; so that in that respect the negotiations bad been perfectly successful. There were, it was true, three or four companies which had obtained more shares in consequence of peculiar cir cumstances, but the basis of the negotiations was that this Company should be placed in the position of the most favoured companies. The arrangement which they had succeeded in making was to the effect that for every ten shares in this (Ganneron's) line they should be allotted one definite share in the amalgamated Com pany.—(Hear, hear.) By this arrangement there would be a balance of 782 shares of the Company, which it was proposed to leave at the dispoial of the Committee, for reasons which it was not necessary to state more fully, unless the shareholders wished for a more explicit and detailed account.—(Hear, hear.) The surplus amount which had been paid would be returned to the share holders in the following proportion:—The holder of ten shares would receive 251. in money, and 5/. would go to wards the definite share which was to represent the ten. Thus, the holder of 100 shares in the Company would receive 2501., and ten definite shares iu the amalgamated Company, on which 51. each had been paid. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what was to be done by an individual who held only five shares? The CHAIRMAN said, that the subject had been con sidered by the Committee, and the most expedient course which appeared to them was for the person so situated to make an arrangement with some other holders of a frac tional part of the amount which would be represented by one share in the new Company. With respect to the additional call of 1/, which had been made, it was the result of the course which had been adopted by their French colleagues, who represented to them that the effect of the increased sum would be to place the project in a better light before the Government, and thus rive the Company a stronger position. The effect of this was that this Company was the only Company which was in a condition singly to go for the adjudication, for they had done everything to put themselves in the position which the French Government required.—(Hear.) A SHAREHOLDER wished to be informed why it was that this advantageous position was not maintained. The CHAIRMAN said that the amalgamation was, as he before stated, deemed expedient in consequence of the state of the share and money markets. The Ceni pany enjoyed the advantageous position which he re ferred to, in consequence of the care which had been taken to do all that was required by the Government. Nothing had been omitted by the Committee, who em ployed two French engineers, besides Mr. Cubitt, and four traffic-takers; and thus, in addition to the informa tion which related to the engineering department, they were enabled to ascertain to the shilling the extent of the traffic.—(Hear.) This was rendered the more practica ble by the information which seas obtained from the col lectors of the octroi-duties ; but the aid of the traffic takers was required, in order to make out the returns with perfect accuracy and detail.—(Hear, hear.) In those items which he had mentioned the Committee had expended about 4,0001. The amalgamation had now been perfected. Mr. Show said, that the Company were deeply in debted to the Commi tee for the happy conclusion to which they had brought the negotiations. He was a large holder in that Company, and he felt very much pleased with the mode in which the new arrangements had been effected, and the advantageous position which had been obtained for Ganneron's line, and he highly ap proved of leavin 4 the balance of 782 hares in the hands of the Directors.—(Hear, hear.) He would now move that the proceeding s of th e Committee be approved of by the meeting, and that the balance of shares be left in their hands. Captain KELLY, as a large shareholder, expressed his approval of the proceedings. He had never in his life heard a more clear, straightforward statement on the part of any Chairman of a Board of Directors than that which they had just listened to—(Hear, hear)—and he had great pleasure in seconding th• motion.—(Hear.) Mr. MANSFIELD was desirous to see a more specific and detailed statement of the accounts, and he would move as an amendment that the resolution be postponed until those accounts were furnished. After some discussion as to the disposal of the balance of 782 shares, Mr. WALLY said he was the holder of 1,000 shares in this Company, and he decidedly approved of leaving the balange of shares in the hands of the directors. The care and anxiety, and personal attention which they had devoted to the affairs of the Company, warranted the shareholders in leaving those shares in the hands of the Directors. After some further eonversation the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. Wim.rams then moved as an amendment : " That the balance of 782 shares be divided amongst the shareholders generally, instead of being left to the option of the Directors." The amendment was lost, and the motion of Mr. SNOW, to the effect—" That the balance of shares be left to the management of the Directors," was carried with only one dissentient. The dEAIRMAN thanked the shareholders:for the ap proval which they had expressed of the course the Com mittee had adopted, a course which he believed to be the correct one LONDON, NEWBURY, AND BATH DIRECT. SWINDON, FRIDAY EVENING.—A meeting of the mer chants, traders, wharfingers, and others, resident on the banks of the Kennet and Avon Canal, took place this afternoon in the large room of the Queen's Hotel, Swin don station, for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken with reference to the supposed intended conversion of the canal into the London, Newbury, and Bath Direct. 1 Mr. Weller was called to the chair, and Mr. Ward, Ichairman of the Committee, in the absence of Admiral Dundas, Mr. Merriman, the secretary, and Mr. Black well, engineer, attended as a deputation on the part of the Company to offer explanations. Prior to the business of the meeting, Mr. Blackwell produced copies of the plans which bad been deposited with the Board of Trade, and explained the mistake under which the merchants and traders along the banks of the canal were labouring, that it was the intention of the Company to convert the canal into a railway, the object being to preserve the existing navigation, and run a railway along the banks of the canal. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been convened for the purpose of enabling the traders and others, hold ing property on the banks of the Kennet and Avon Canal, to express their opinion as to the injury likely to be in flicted upon them by the supposed conversion of the canal into a railway. From the explanation they heard read, it appeared that th ere was no intention on the part of the Kennet and A von C ana l Company tode stroy the navigation. For hi s own part, therefore , be had just considered the statement most satisfactory. He should, subject. Mr. be happy to hear the o bservations . of any f . the gentlemen of the deputation on the Mr. WARD said, as the Chairman of the Committee of the London, Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway, and Kennet and Avon Canal Company, in the ab s e nce of Admiral Dundas, he begged to assure the traders that in no way did they, by the construction of their rail way, intend to deprive the traders of the advantages of the existing navigation. M psoswider, the Parliament ary not i ces of the m r. a C ny o w tookCo to atop up and a l ter the course of p LEv the Kennet and Avon Canal. He could not see how that could be done without injury to the wharfingers and traders on its banks. Mr. MERRIMAN explained the necessity which existed for making the Parliamentary notices as comprehensive as possible, and said that it was impossible for them to judge of what was intended to be done until the Bill was drawn. As soon as that took place, he would take care the traders on the canal, or any solicitor they might appoint, should have a copy of it. f 't Mr. CROWDER, Secretary of the Wilts and Berks Canal, said he considered the effect of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company making a railway along its banks would be to convert themselves into traders. They might then raise the tolls of the canal to such a maximum that the traders would be forced to give up, and then the goods traffic would by taken by the Company themselves on to the railway. Mr. WARD said such a doctrine was absurd, for the Company would be as much interested in keeping the traffic on their canal which now existed, as in getting it on to the railway. Their interest in both were identical. The CHAIRMAN said, for his own part he was satisfied that the proposed railway would be rather of advantage , than otherwise to the traders on the canal, and the ques- • tion arose as to whether they should wait until the Bill Mr. WARD ;aid it was a mistake to suppose that the Kennet and Avon Canal Company were any party to the destruction of that portion of their canal alluded to. It. I had originated in the gross breach of justice on the part of the Great Western Company, to the serious loss of the proprietors of the Kennet and Avon Canal. Mr. ABRAHAM moved " that a Committee be ap point.-d to watch the progress of the London, Newbury, and Bath I)ireet Railway Bill, promoted by the Kennet and A%on Canal Company, and that such Committee consist of Messrs. Dewer, Sl)aw, Stratton, Hooper, Maggs, Sanders, Robins, Chandler, and Cowley. Mr. STRATTON seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. ROBINS moved, and Mr. DUNSFORD seconded, a vote of thanks to the deputation. I THE BROAD AND NARRO W GAUGE. I The followine.• letter, respecting the rival gauges, has been addressed by Mr. Bidder to Mr. Creed, of the London and Birmingham P.ailway:— " 24, Great George-street, Westminster, Jan. 2, 1846. " Alv dear Sie,_Ary attention, on my return from York, having- been called to certain unauthorised state ments and comparisons of the late experiments on the broad and narrow gauge lines, I feel it my duty to in form you, that when the prope r time comes, I shall have no difficulty in establishing that many of these are erro neous, as well from the omission of material facts con nected with the experiments as from the inaccurate report of others. Meanwhile, and until these are offi cially reported, I may venture to assert that the allega tions as to the capabilities of engines on the narrow gauge lines have been more than borne out. " I regret that I have to conclude my letter by com municating an unfortunate occurrence in an experiment intended to test the evaporating power of North Midland engine No. 54, which was thrown off the line near the Thirsk station from an old broken chair. I may add, however, that, with the exception of the fireman, the injuries to the few persons on the engine were very slight. —I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, " GEO. P. BIDDER. " R.

THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY. On Friday, at two o'clock, a halt -yearly general meet ing of the Directors and Proprietors of the London Dock Comp ,ny, which was numerously attendtd, was held in the board-room of the Dock-house, Prince's street, Cot nhill, to receive the report of the state of the Company's affairs for the half-year ending November 30, and to declare a divkiend on the Company's stock. Mr. John Catterey, chairman of the Directors, presided. Mr. S. W. Powles, the secretary, read the half-yearly report of the Directors, which stated that, during the six months, 731 loaded ships, from foreign ports, had .-ntered the London Docks, carrying 168,553 tons, and that in the corresponding period of the previous year, there were 658 loaded ships, carrying 166,426 tons, showing an increase of 2,127 tons. The earnings of the Company were 209,0941. Bs. 6(1., there being 205,187/. Ss. 10d. last ear, while the expenditure this half-year was 110,885/. Bs. 9d. the corresponding period of the for mer year being 115,710/. 4s. 4d., giving an increase in the former of 3,90 q. 19s. Bd., and a decrease on the latter of 4,8241. 15s. 7d. The income had exceeded the expenditure by 98,2081. 19s. 9d., upcn which he Directors recommended a dividend of 2/. 10s. per ceot_ on the Company's stock, amounting to 89,803/. 4s, 2d. That would leave a balance of 8,7051. 15s 7d.; out of which it was proposed by them to appropriate 5,0001. for the new works. The stock of goods in the ware houses was 105,262 tons; this, in the corresponding period last year, being 119,877 tons. The report con cluded by suggesting that the remainder of the floating thbt in debentures, amounting to 300.000/., be converted into the capital stock of the Company. The report was unanimously received, and a dividend of 2/. 10s. declared to be payable on the Bth of January, and with one dis sentient (Mr. Ward) it was resolved that the Directors be empowered to take measures to convert the remaining debt of 300,0001. on the capital stock of the Company. Mr. Clarke then proposed that a piece of plate, of the value of 300/., be presented to the chairman of the Court of Directors, Mr. 'Wil li:lm King, deputy-chairman, and Mr C. Marryatt, the treasurer, and that to each of the Directors a piece of plate of the value of 100/. for each, be also presented, as a testimony of the high approbation of the Court of Proprietors of the unexampled and effective zeal they have evinced for the prosperity of the Company. He observed that since the year 1805, when the Company obtained their charter of incorporation, they had given no special mark towards their Directors. The affairs of the Company had been gradually improving since 1833, when they only divided 2k per cent. Their divi• dends had now reached 5/. per cent., while he was happy to say that there were prospects of continued prosperity, and while their shares, which were at 50/., now fetched 114/. and 1151. Mr, Hodgkinson seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. Ward, Mr. Twining, Mr. Watson, &c., and agreed to unanimously. It was also resolved that a piece of plate of the value of 100/. be presented to the Secretary, and a Committee was ap pointed to carry the object into effect. The Chairman replied on the part of the Directors, when the meeting separated. ISir W.

ETON COLLEGE, FRIDAY. —The restoration of the College Chapel, which was commenced by the authorities of the college in 1842 is, as early as possible, to be proceeded with, under the s uperintendance of Mr. Deason, the architect. It is proposed to enlarge the choir to its original size, so as to make suitable provision for the increased number of the scholars, as well as to obtain better accommodation for the resident families and strangers. It is intended to erect Gothic stalls and a new screen, and also to amend and remove the present roof. The expense of these alterations and im provements has been caculated at between 10,0001. and 12,000/. •, upwards of half this sum having been already sub scribed by members of the college and old Etonians, in order that the whole design may be completed at once, instead of reserving a portion for a future period. The projected altera tions are expected to be commenced early in the ensuing spring. . - FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT OPPOSITE SOMERSET HOUSE. Saturday afternoon, about ten minutes after one o'clock, the following frightful accident occurred to a gentleman, at pre sent unkown, which it is feared will terminate fatally. It appears that at the time above named the unfortunate gen tleman, who seems about forty years of age, was in the act of crossing the roadway from Somerset House, towards the Morning Chronicle newspaper office, and before he could reach the kerb he was knocked down by a heavily laden cart belonging to Messrs. Mott and Co., the pianoforte manufacturers, of the Strand. The driver did all he could to prevent the accident, but before the horse could be stopped the off wheel passed over his body, about the loins. He was lifted from the ground by several persons who witnessed the accident, and placed in a cab in an insensible state, with va rious contusions about the hands and face. He was taken to the King's College Hospital, where he was put under the care of the house surgeon. He was in a very precarious state at half-past-one this afternoon. DANGEROUS TRICK.—On Monday afternoon, two women who keep stalls in the Bazaar, having boiled some tea in the open area of the market, after partaking of the beve rage became exceedingly ill, and one of them seemingly so dangerously, that she was conveyed to the police-educe, and the surgeon sent for. At length, however, she vomited, and became a little better. In the meantime a boy named James M'Pheely was taken into custody, charged with having put some deleterious drug into the tea, and we are informed he admits having done so, and that it was something like to bacco ; but he says that it was a man named M'Cormiek who gave it to him, with instructions what to with it.

Brae, the author of a series of republican pamphlets, entitled " Almanach-Catechisme,'' "Manual du Peuple," was sentenced, at the Court of Assizes of Paris, to eighteen months' imprisonment, and a tine of 300 t: The printer of the said Amanach was also sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and a fine of 800 francs. They were charged with having excited hatred of the Government, out raged the Catholi c re li g i on , an d comm i tted various other otfences punishable by the "September laws." M.

ADULTERATION; OF TOBACCO WITH CHICORY.— Thomas and John Garton, of Lincoln, tobacco-manufacturer., were charged upon too informations, ordered by the Com missioners of Ex c i se , w ith having adulterated their tobacco with chicory and other saccharine matters, contrary to law ; and also with having ,the before-named illegal articles in tin it possession. Professor Graham, of the London Univer sity, and Mr. G. analytical chemists, attend e d on behalf of the Crown •, M f r. Andrews for the deft ndants. Pro fessor Graham and Mr. G. Phillips proved having examined samples of the tobacco, which they found adulterated to the extent of three per cent. with saccharine matter. They pro tested that tobacco in its natural state did not contain any saccharine matter whatever, and that where two or thre per cent. was obtained by fermentation from manu factured tobacco, it was quite clear that saccharine matter had been used for that purpose. These witnesses were examined at great length by Mr. Andrews, for the purpose of showing that the chemical fermentation ex periments were not to be depended upon as sure tests when only small portions of saccharine matter could be obtained. These opinions, he contended, were sufficiently borne out by the report_ of the Committ ee on th e t o b acco trade, made to the House of Commons in 1842. He then read portions of the evidence given by the above gentlemen before that Committee, to show that their results of analysa tion were by no means uniform, and particularly in one case of tobacco, which was perfectly pure, which they had stated to be adulterated with loaf bread cut up with the tobacco, and that it also contained a little sugar. The same report also contained conflicting opinions from the most eminent chemists as to the accuracy of the Excise tests. The Court expressed themselves satisfied with the evidence, and fined the defendants in the penalty of 501. The same defendants were again indicted for mixing five or six per cent. of chi cory with 7501b5. of tobacco. The solicitor for the defendants pleaded guilty, at the same time alleging that they (defen dants) were innocent, and that what was called chicory was merely smalls, received from retailers, and mixed up with the larger cut tobacco. In this case a fine of 1001. was in flicted; and in each case the tobacco was adjudged to be for feited to the Crown. These cases were brought before the magistrates on a former occasion, but the proceedings were quashed in consequence of an informality. A PRIZE PEASANT Suow.—The custom of stuff ing cattle to an unnatural degree, is, we are told, de sirable, for the purpose of improving the character of stock, and we should be very glad to see the experi ment tried of improving the characters of peasant and agricultural labourers by feeding them. We should very much like to have an annual show of prize poor g ot up in the numerous districts where the " friends of the working man" are so very busy in cramming cattle with all kinds of herbaceous luxuries. If a good quan tity of fat stock is a sign of their owner being a good farmer, surely a goo d quant i t y of plump, portly looking labourers would be a testimonial to the however, ther e i goodness of their employer.

COUNTY-RATES.--There has been issued (pursuant to an order of the House of Commons of the Bth of July last) a return (moved for on that day by Viscount Mar sham) of the expenditure of the grants made by Par liament in each year from 1835, in aid of the county rates, distinguishing the proportion for expenses of pro secutions and for conveyance of convicts ; showing the amount paid for each county, and the total amount in each year. The following are some of the more inte resting results of that :return, which occupies ten folio pages of figures. For the latter half of 1835, out of the Parliamentary grants in aid of the county-rates, the ex penses of criminal prosecutions in the several counties in England and Wales amounted to 26,8921., and the con veyance of convicts cost 5,6241., making a total of 32,5164 In 1836, these sums were increased to 75,2681. ; in 1837, to 81,9231.; in 1838, to 85,1564; in 1839, to 89,5164; in 1840, to 99,668/. In 1841, the amount was 98,1384, showing a decrease of upwards 011,7304; but in the follow ing year it increased to more t h an 113 , 4171. ; in 1843.?? 113,6471.; while, in the year 1844, th e t o t a l was 101, 1 • 4 The increase throughout th es e ye ar s was in the ex penses of criminal prosecutions, that rose from about 53,0001. in 1835 to 104,324/. in 1843, while the cost of the conveyance of convicts remained very nearly th e same during the entire series of year s . The gra n d total for the several years abcve mentioned am ounts to 890,596/. 6s. sd. From a subsequent return (2f the ex penditure in the various boroughs and liberties of the grants made by Parliament in aid of the county-rates, it appears that the expenses of criminal prosecutions anti conveyance of convicts in the latter half of 1835, were 2,6671. In the year 1836 they were 7,6761. ; in 1837, 9.5064; in 1838, of ea9t/ ; in 1839, 12,3211 ; in 1840, /5, 795/, Lin 1841, 1 7,241/.; in 1842, 21,1411.; in 1843, 20,0531; and in 1844, 17,525/., making a total for bo roughs atid liberties of 133,6341. 19s. 2d. during the years enumerated. Thus, the grand total for counties and boroughs and liberties is 1,024,2311. ss. 7d. The highest amount was in 1842, when it reached 134,5561.; and the lowest in 1835, when it was at the rate per annum of about 74,100/. The return is sign e d " Edw. Cardwell," an d dated from Whitehall, Treasury chambers, 6th July, 1845. ~J I RM j~, • BAST INDIA HOUSE, OCT. 29, 1845.
