The Earl of RIPON laid on the table the form of the vete of thanks to the army of India for the late brilliant victory over the Seikhs, to be moved on Monday next; and suggested that it.be printed: • • . THE CASE OF COLONEL ROCHFORD. Lord BROUGHAM presented _a' petition from' Colonel Rochford, of which he had given notice last night,-which had relation to certain particulars connected with a bankruptcy in which the petitioner -was involved, and which. eudan gered certain property in a manner he considered very unfairly. The exact facts of the case we could not learn, from the low tone in which his Lordship spoke, - • though the purport was to the foregoing effect. He (Lord Brougham) thought that a Bill should be.passed through Par liament to relieve the petitioner from the difficulty in which he was placed. CwJNTY WORKS PRESENTMENTS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill then went through Committee. DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion that the House go into Committee on the I>rainage (Ireland) Bill, Lord MON TE A GLE saidthat he had on a former occasion ex -pressed his disapproval of the principle adopted by the Govern ment in respect of these - Bills. He did not wish to be understood as opposing them, but still he thought that Parliament should expectations of the Irish people , not be deceived upon the subj ect, neither did he wish that the to whom these Bills would be of great advantage, should be disappointed. He th ou g ht th a t increased facilities should be given for carrying these measures into effect, because, as at present con stituted, the Board of Works was utterly .inadequate to the labour thrown upon them. At present that Board con sisted of only three persons, and it was framed for purposes widely different and more easy to discharge than the onerous duties with which they had been of late year%ievested., Since the time that the Board had been first formed reseonibilities bad been heaped open • them which had not at first been taken into considerationi • One of the Bills at, present. before the' House was intended to give the Irish .sea coast .the benefit of an improved fisheries Bill. This would embrace an: extent oar There was also another Bill for a public expenditure of money in respect to the drainage. Now, he would say, .that, under any possible circumstances, and mote particularly during the present period ef exigency, they would deceive themselves if they Supposed these Bills would fully effect the relief , for which they - were ' designed. Unless the strictest guard moral evil w Lord insteadhloe na w a s g . a fp i r n ep s .h t e yn s m t c a ac t v lo e n rns good.e a c t i t o e n d , wlt He c h all enged w hy Ireland o would l saa nyy, that these Bills would be able in effect thegood contemplated unless they strengthened the machinery with which • they proposed, to carry them into effect. They-e!est mght multiply their Bills like : the present and -7 m oney votes,- but, • unless .they: gave-:.the:inaelins---Or 'a Practical direction, they would be utterrly ineffective. - The Earl of DEVON was anxious to bear testinaoay to the accuracy views of the Noble Lord WlP4Milkinkilit down. but unless individuals came forward to assist the 1, he had litle hope that these Bills , e ven if the machiner y were extended, would be productive of the good contemplated. The soil, of _lreland might be made much more productive thatt it was at -present; and he hailed the Bill with joy, he. fleeing that it would be a great incentive to pri v at e enter p rise. t He earneitly requested and entreated that the Government Would allow no difficulty to interfere with the passing of the Bill.. Earl ST. GERMANS did not mean to dispute or contradict the statements made by the Noble Lord who preceded him in respect to the establishing of the Board of \% orks, which, he was aware, had not been increased in proportion to the amount of work thrown upon it. He was therefore prepared to state that thie=Government would consider it well at a Laura period, of the measure, and in themaan time it was their determination to appoint a number of competent military engineers to assist in the opeiations. Lord 310NTEAGLE expressed himself 'entirely satisfied, and thought the Government should 'be 'allowed time to eon eider of the reconstruction of the Board of Works, particularly as in the interim a sufficient number of experienced .military engineers would be employed.—(Hear, hear.) . • • - • DRAINAGE.' • LOrd -COTTENHAM, who spoke in a very _low tone, was understood to introduce a Bill to facilitate drainage on private - properties. What he would suggest ta w haa as tint t ht o ehet : B a o k il e ßi pai t il h ss e seshd s o a lu m alad e t proviso week . the It wu inpresentoreo moreover, , 'a his s opinionthere have been prepared together. The E;rl of ST. 'GERMANS was of opinion that the danger pointed out by the Noble Earl was more ap_ parent than real. He (the Earl of St: Germans) would call the attention of the Noble Earl to the cenelusinn of the first - clause of the present Bill, which provided that the Commis sioners in their award (whether the repayments were made in single payments or by instalments), should make their estimate so as not to exceed the increased value of the land so drained. It was 'quite clear, therefore, by this proviso that the Commis sieneis Were bound to regulate the repayments so as not to go beyond the increased value of the land so improved: H e submitted that this met the objection which was Urged. The tenant for life was not the only individual interested in the lease, the remainder-man was also• to be considered. Th ey were interposing perhaps executers or eiiil engineers, but were they to judge what effect the drainage of such and such lands would produce? Would these officers protect the interests of those who were absent? Supposing, for instance,' tha t an estat e were mortgaged to nearly its full value, would lint'the indi. vidual who held that mortgage, and who mainly depended upon the stability of the returns from that estate, havoi•aYiklit • to be consulted in this matter? Bethought the Noble Earl; might easily introduce the provisions that had been afrelay introduced in the Pablie Works Bill, 'or the principle ofttiih Bills was the same, although the operation of them :(if tliia Bill were passed in its present shape) would be very different. If his suggestions were not acceded to he should feel it - his duty to take the sense of the House upon the subject. The Earl of WICKLOW hoped that no impediment would be thrown in the way of carrying out these Bills. lie was afraid that the provisions the Noble Lord sought to intro. duce would have the effect of preventing these 'Bills beit* . efficiently carried out. He begged to remind the Noble `Cord, that there was a great distinction between the measure before . • - the House and the. Public Works Bill. There was in the lit ter case some -doubt of the works which they might bp engaged in being to the adviencement of the individual in posseasion,,,,.,,_ , whereas_ no reasonable doubt . could be entertained that tle - e- - 4.7 drainage of any land would be to the good of the tenant, as well as advantageous to the remainder-man. Lord CAMPBELL bad no doubt that the Noble Eatl had framed these Bills with the very best intention, but he ought to remember that he could not calculate ,irl, any certainty on any measure of success in the objects of the Bill. Some un fortunate difficulties might arise which would completely over throw his calculation, and therefore he considered that the provision suggested by his Noble and Learned Friend should be introduced into the Bill. The Earl of ST. GERMANS freely admitted the propriety of some of the remarks made by the Noble Lord, but there was a very important difference between the two cases. In the one case, an indivi final proprietor only eras concerned, but in the present case there was a num ber of proprietors. By the former Bills the dissent of two-thirds of the proprietors was required, but by the present Bill only one-half was required. The opens don of the present Bill would extend over a space of many miles, and the charge would be on the drained lands. The former Bill was of very limited extent, and the charge was made on the whole estate. As he had already remarked, the present Bill was only en amendment on the law already is existence. Lord COTTENHAM did not object to that part of the Bill "which related to drainage ; what he objected to was the 37th clause. After a few observations from Earl St. GERMANS, which were inaudible in the gallery, it was agreed to entertain the consideration of the clause on the third reading. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL.

GRAND UNION. This adjourned case was the drat called on. Mr. Burke appeare i for the promoters ; and Mr. Thomas, from Dorrington and Hayward's, appeared for the petitioners against the Bill. Several of the allegations submitted, were d eclared by the Com mittee to be most frivolous, and of no possible service to the case for the opposition. A few of them were allowed and others overruled. Mr. Bunita objected to the allegations contained in one part of the petition being heard, inasmuch as one of the consenting parties to the petition had withdrawn his name from it. • Mr. nimbus could not consent to Buell a prec,eed— ing. The party who had signed the petition, it would appear, had been compensated by the promoters, and that alone caused him to withdraw his opposition. Now he was of opinion that the petitioner having withdrawn his name from the petition, could not admit of the allegations being withdrawn, inas much as the petition had come to the Committee from the House of Commons, and was therefore "the property of the House. Had the petitioner been willing to withdraw his opposition, he ought to have petitioned the House to that effect, and failing so to do, he had no control over the petition. Ho, there fore, submitted that the proposition of his Hon. Friend could not be entertained. The room was then cleared, aid after half-an-hour's deliberation, the parties were Galled in and informed by The CuAinuani that the Committee had given their most attentive consideration to the question, in consequence of the bearing it would be likely to have on other Bills. The Committee regretted that the standing order was not more clear upon the point, but they were of opinion, that where a party .was willing to withdraw an opposition, the allegations In spell petition' only affecting his own property, he could do so without petitioning the House to that effect. The most proper course would be to petition the House a for power to w ithdraw that petition ; but , unde r the circumstances "of the case, the Committee were of opinion that the petition In the present case could be withdrawn. The petition was then withdrawn, and the Committee declared that the standing orders bad boon complied with, except in a few in stances of imperfect notices to . parties whose property ivas on the line. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. This Committee resumedrits sittings at twelve o'clock. The fol'ow ing companies having been declared to have complied with the stand ing orders, their Bills passed:—The Longford to Sligo Extension Railway, the Sligo and Shannon Railway. The Committee reported that tbo standing orders had not been complied with in the case of the Wexford,,Carlow, and Dublin Railway. THE MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN.-31ULLINGAR TO • . GAL WAY. The Committee reported that several cases of non-compliance were established, some of which they allowed to , be cured by the abandonment of a branch line to the dock of Galway. . They also reported that the standing orders had not been complied with in the case of lands belonging to Mr. Dudley Pearse, near Bal. limosloe, the effect of which will be to confine the extension of the line to that town. The capital of the line 19 770,9001., and its length is about S 7 miles. This decision renders the line as a mode of communication be, tween Dublin and Galway a mere nullity. The case occupied the whole day, and the Committee adjourned at four o'clock to Monday next. Mom °Mc( Chan LAW ISTELLIGENCE. . BANKRUPTCY COURT, Feb, 27. (Bofors Adr. Commissioner FINE.) IN .IL ONES.

The defence was, that the plaintiff had overcharged for the work. The evidence:was 'vary contictory. On the part :a the Plaintiff it was shown that„the plaintiff had been engaged in•yarious repairs of the *minter, &c., and charged for the work by the day, and also materials, and it was swore that the bill was fair and reasenable. For the defendant two surveyors and builders were called.

An •rder had been made directing himself name, trustee to pay in certain sums to the Bank of England in the of the Accountant -General. He received three cheques to have h(tsig- • nature affixed, one of the cheques being for the sum mentioned in the indictment. He signed the cheque, and crcssed it "Bank of Eng land, to account of the Accountant-General." That appeared to be struck out, and " Goslingsand Co." sabstituted instead. After signing the cheque he transmitted it to Mr. Foster. He afterwards received a letter from the prisoner, 'dated Jan. 17, stating that he had paid the cheques into the Bank of England, and inclosing receipts alleged to be signed by W. R.

B mastlement ef 1806 the deceased had willed certain sums to the younger children, which the heir-at-law disputed. Mr. Garey then undertook the cause, and received the money which had been so settled upon them. He did not know whether Mr. Gazes , had advanced his own money for the purposes of the suit, bat as the matter was very involved the espeases must have been very heavy. He (witness) paid the pri soner some 2001., but the costs must have been greatly above this amount. The costs, he, believed, were as high as 2,0001. Charles James Foster, a banister, and co-trnstee with Mr. Bel anty, examined by Mr. CLARK —7lad affixed his name to a cheque for 2,5961. 17s. The words " Goslings and Co." were not upon it then. The cheque was afterwards taken to Mr. Garey's. In De cember last he received a communication from Mr. Bellamy, and in consequence he saw the prisoner -at Southampton-buildings, in his a M e S. He asked him if he had the receipts, and he said he would have them in a day or two. He could not recollect the words which passed between them, but the impression was that Mr. Garey had paid the money. Some time after he accompanied Mr. Bellamy to the Accountant-General, and in this month he went to the Bank of England, mad with Mr. Bellamy paid the money over again . . John H. H. Tristran handed the cheque so often referred to to Mr. Garey. It had not then the words " Goslings and Co." on it. It was creased to the Bank of England. When he asked for the receipts, the prisoner said that they were at the Accountant - General's office, and on subsequent occasions he said that he had not had time to send for them, Mr. Strange, cashier `in the banking•houtse of Goslings and CO., proved having received the cheque in question from the prisoner. A clerk, from Messrs. Coutts and Co., spoke to the fact of the cheque having been brought to their house, and duly honoured on presentation. Alfred. Kinns—Was a writing-clerk's. the prisoner's office last No vember. He entered the prisoner's service on the 10th of November last, and left on the 24th of January following. The document now produced, purporting to be a receipt from the Bank of England for the cheque paid into Gosling and Co., is in my hand-writing. He wrote it on the 17th of January, at the desire of the prisoner. The piece of paper on which he wrote was brought to him by Mr. Garey. Upon giving it to him ho desired him not to spoil it as it was folded in a particular mann*. The prisoner also brought 'a piece •of paper which was to serve as a copy for the alleged forged certificate. This copy WAS in the hand writing of Mr. Gamy. Inspector-Haynes examined by the ATToaresv-Gierentar.—lle had apprehended the prisoner. The only papers he took possession of were those which were found on his person, Finding upon examination that none of these papers referred to the charge upon which the pri soner was taken into custody, he returned them all at the station house in Bow-street. Daring the time he was writing the Alfred Kinns re - cal led — alleged forged certificate the prisoner came from his Mier office several times to give him directions how he should do it. Samuel Parkinson, clerk la the Aceountant-General's office—The usual course of business was, that the solicitor brought the order, which was read through by the clerk, to understand the object of it. In paying money t o the credit of the Accountant-General it was usual first te Si to that functionary's office in Chancery lane, and there, upon the production of cash or a cheque, a certificate was given to the solicitor in attendance, which certificate was handed into t on he of England with the money.

The news of Mr. Waghort es celebrated journey by way of Trieste had reached India, and given a new stimulus to the feeling in his favour connected with the original opening and improvement of the route ion is in to this country re by way of Egypt and the co ntinent. Much speculatdulged in specting the comparative merits of the Trieste and Marseilles routes, with some leaning in favour of the latter, so far as speed is concerned ; but all seem awake to the great advantage of ceas!ng to depend absolutely upon the French Government for communications of such vital importance ; and it is generally anticipated that for travellers the Trieste route will have many points of preference. That part of the transit which lies through Egypt is becoming a source of some uneasiness in India, and all look forward with apprehension to the period when the management of the conveyance shall be taken, as is threatened, into the Dacha's own hands, subject to the powerful influence of French intrigue in Egypt. The existing contract has still, however, two years to run, and it is Impossible but that this Government must be awake to the importance of profiting by the interval, in obtaining proper guarantees that this route shall be placed beyond the risk of disturbance or interference. It has become a national question, and. every arrival that takes place adds to its importance. We regret to announce the decease of the infant son of the Earl and . Countess of Clarendon, who expired on Thursday morning after a short illness, arising • from teething, at the fanails Mansion in Belgrave-square.

The CHAIRMAN, after hearing some svldoneo pm atm cod., said that the Committee were of opinion that they should not give any decision on this point until the notes of the par ties employed to check the line were produced. Mr. VENABLE-5 objected to the production of them, and some dis cussion ensued, which ended in the Committee deciding that the pro moters should produce so much of their notes as had the portion of the line in question to be ar g ued before the Com . . , mitfee. Mr. Venal)les agreed to this, and the consideration of this allega-. tion was postponed. It was also alleged that at the several places there was an inac curacy in the plans deposited with the clerks of the peace for the counties through which the line was to pass, which was sustained. There was another allegation of a similar character, which the Committee considered not to be sufficiently specific. The next class of allegations was, that there had been a non compliance with the standing orders, the necessary notices not having been served in various instances. It was alleged that the notice had been served on the petitioner with respect to No. 32, in the parish of Dunbarton, and No: 237, in the parish of Cardrop, which were to be intersected by the proposed railroad. Tae Committee considered the allegat i o n was not sustained. There was another allegation to the same effect, which was sustained. The Committee then adjourned, shortly after four o'clock, till twelve o'clock en Monday. Sub-Committee No. 3. This Committee resumed its sittings at the usual hour this morn ing, Mr. Aglionby in the chair. WELSH MIDLAND. The cOnsideratien of this case was resumed,' and the Committee, finding that the plans deposited, on the 30th of November, with the clerks of the pcace were so full of defects as to render them almost useless, the promoters of the Bill, who were represented by Mr. Bax ter, determined upon abandoning them altogether. The Committee therefore proceeded to take evidence in favour of the plans deposited on the 31st of December, and the whole of the day was occupied with this description of testimony. Mr. Efrain was allowed to appear for the original petitioners against the scheme, namely, the Earl of Jersey and the Corporation of Worcester, and assisted by Mr. S. Hughes, the engineer on behalf of the petitioners,he succeeded in proving to fhe Committee that there were omissions and defects even in the plans alleged to have been ex amined and checked by Mr. Sidney Hall, who personally laid out the line, and deposited on the 31st of December. The case had not terminated when the Committee adjourned. Sub-Committee We. 5. The Committee met at half-past twelve this - clay ; present Mr, Home Drummond, (Chairman), • the O'Conor Don, Mr. G.

Mr. Thomas Harrison, surveyor of highways, was called, but he did not prove the road was a public ono, as it only led to private property. He was in the habit of repairing it, and the expense was charged to the parish. Mr. Rice, a solicitor, of Beaton, was called, but said he never saw any carriage pass ever it. The Committee decided it was a public road, but whether a car riage road they would not for the present decide. The next allegation was that a certain place in the said parish was not mentioned in the book of reference and that there were no cross sections laid down. Mr. Underwood, an engineer, pointed out the cross sections on the plan, and the Committee decided the standing orders were complied with in respect to this railway. CRESTED. AND MANCHESTER DIRECT. Mr. DLITT, agent to the line, begged for a postponement as they were not prepared before Monday to enter into the proofs. The Committee would not comply, and decided that the standing orders were net complied with, inasmuch as the proofs required were not given by the promoters of the line. TITANESS AND wrArnEsvizaz. The object of the promoters of this line is to extend the Kendal and Windermere Railway to Parma, a distance of 17 miles fritiflongs, the estimated amount being 252,0001., and the amount of the sub scription contract 198,540/. The Parlitunentary agent is Mr. Ellicombe, and its formation was opposed by Mr. Pritt on behalf of James Mackhill and William Townley, petitioners against the Bill. ' There were a great number of allegations made by the petitioners that the standing , orders were not attended to. The first objection was that the plan and reference book deposited were not in accordance with the standing order, as there was no datum point shown. This objection was overruled. The next allegation was, that a certain field, marked 500 on the map,twas stated to be 507 in the book of reference. Mr. EuLICOMBE admitted that it was so, but it was only a clerical error. Standing order not complied with. Several allegations were then passed over by Mr. 'NUT, until l he came to the following : that the distances marked in and furlongs on the datum line did not correspond with those marked on the plan, inasmuch as the crossing of a road, maked 508 :—the In this case a diverging of the proposed se ctions, was not s hown. line took place, for the purpose of avoiding the formation of a bridge. Allegation sustained. The next objection, that an enclosure No. 214 was not described in the book of reference, and is within the limits of deviation, was ad mitted. The Speaker was then announced to be at prayers, and the Com mittee adjourned the further hearing of the case until twelve o'clock next Monday. Sub-Committee No. 6. This Committee resumed its sittings at two o'clock this den' present, Captain Jones (in the chair), Mr. Deedes, and others. WEST LONDON TENSION. AND EX TENSION.

The prisoner , it ge ms, has returned from transportation within la the last three months, and considered to be one of the most deter deonlini.ußaryasin mined characters of the present day. The Learned RaconDsa then sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported for the term of ten years. Joseph Gibson, indicted for bigamy, was placed at the bar, an pleaded Not Guilty. . charged with bigamy. Prisoner said, in reply, "It will be settled now, and I wish it may be so. My present wife knew, when I mar- Wm.

Day prisoner, told him he sc as wont down to Kingston-upon - Hull, and found the certificate of the first marriage. Mary Ann Jefferson —Knew the first wife of the prisoner. She is still Ore. They were married in 1824, and the prisoner lived with his wifo for three or four years, but during that time had been absent for pa year and ten months. When he returned, he found hLs wife SUN, far,.gone in preinancY, • which was the cauae.bf their being separate/t.• Sincc:that t the first wife had married another man at 'Hull, indlad . tieen living with him.--(This fact, brought out in cross-examinatioh; cansed'a good deal of merriment in Court.) _Etfza .• Mary Miles, the proiecutor aria lire second wife, was, celled into witness-box. She 'wals'apparently about sixty-years of age, In the weeds of widowhood;. and said she was married to the prisoner eight years ago, in Si. Saviours, Southwark. Before thafti me ; and "' after the death of her former husband, she was supported by her brothers. ' • . • Mr. 'Wimp (for the defence)—Was your son married very recently, and had some of the furniture in the hOuse given • him ? Witness — Yes. • Mr. WILD—Was not that the eauSe of the present prosecution against the prisoner, because he would not give up his ju•operty ? • The witness hesitated, and seemed unwilling to answer. TholtscoiDsa—lt was that which led to some family broil? Wit ness—Yea. Mr.- Wyt.n —Did you kno e , at the time of your marriage that the prisoner had another • vrife ? Witness (*Very unwillingly) —Yes. Mr. Wrtn—Then why do you raise this prosecation ? Witness (unwillingly)—l did not expect anything unfair. The RBCOADTIL —That is. you wished to have a husband, but to have the separate and entire control over your property, and this prosicution is just'another way of securing that? The Old lady Wm dismissed from the witnetas-box, and the evidence for the prosecution having been closed; Mr. Wyld was proceeding to call witneases'to the prisoner's character, when the Recorder re marked that he thought the( quite unnecessary. If the counsel could touch the facts he might try it, but in the case before them the Re corder,thought there was little room for supposing the prisoner had circumvented and ensnared beauty and youth. The jury found the prisoner Guilty', and the Court sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, , the Learned Re corder observing that the sentence proceeded from a regard net to the first wife or the Second:wife, but to the, interests of society.

NOTICE TO MARINIRS. Swedish and Norwegian Consalate-General, 2, Crosby-square, Feb. 25, 1846. Mr,— I have the honour to communicate to you the following translation of an ordinance issued by the Royal Navy Board at Stock holm on the 2nd inst.: The Royal Navy Board hereby makes known for the information of Mariners, that the following Lighthouses will be constructed in the course of the present year. 1. The two coal Lighthouses placed on the Rock Nidingon, situated in the Kattegat, lat. 59 degrees 19 minutes N., and lon. 35 - degrees 6 rainutos E. of Torre, or 11 degrees 56 minutes Z. of Greenwich, will be rebuilt, the towers considerably raised, and lentille lights of the third class placed therein. The rebuilding will be commenced in April, and during the interval, until the now lights can be exhibited, a sideral lamp will bo suspended from each of the towers, throwing Its light towards the Kattegat. It is expected that the alterations will be completed by the lit of October this year, and the lentilles exhibited ; but in case, from any unexpected impediment, this cannot be effected, the provisional lamps will remain daring the winter until the new lights will be ready. 2. The erection of the lighthouse will be eemmenced this spring on tke south point of Wottand, about 3,000 ells from lLobegy's point, on a rock called Klafaen, and which will be provided with a revolv ing reflector light. The period for lighting, as well as the revolving time and bearing of the last mentioned lighthouse, will in due time be communicated. (iigned) CIIIELIB TOTTIS. To Wm. Dobson, Esq., Baerstary, Lloyd's. SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY.— On Thursday the nineteenth half-yearly general meeting of this company took place at the offices in Bishopsgate-street. The chair was taken by Col. Barlow, when the secretary read the report, from which it appeared that the sum of 210,0001 , proposed to be raised for the purpose of completing the inner dock, not having been responded to beyond the extent of 82,0001., the directors had suspended the raising of the sum required, but thought it could only be temporary, from the growing i m portance of Southampton. The g ravin g dock was progressing satisfactorily, but owing to the extraordinary demand for stone at the Govern me nt works, the directors did not contemplate its being ready to receive ships for repair until May next. The lichen wharf had been made up to a length of 700 feet to the dock entrance, and a sufficient depth of water obtained to admit colliers, as coal was already an important item of business. The directors hadto much the sa ti s faction in calling the a ttention of the pro Po proposed extension of the South-Western Railway. am to London- the bridge for which the direc tors had applied t Parlient in present session ; a measure of the highest importance to the intereste of bath companies, and thus enabling the above to purchase or rent ware houses in the port of London in connexion,m by t railw the ay, with those a t Southampton. The comparative stateen of half-yearly rec eipts for the last two yea p rs, upon that portion of the evenue d er i ve d from goods passing over tho company 's quays, continued to increase, being for the year 1844, 4,018/. 7s. Bd. ; and for the year 1845 8,3761. 68. 3d. The balance on the capital account was 20,6441. Bs. ld., and on the general revenue account 9861. 2s. 9d. in favour of the company. The total quantity of tonnage which en tered the docks in the year 1845 was 158,680, which was made up as follows: —From the West Indies, 5,572 toils; Mediterranean, 27,997; America, 5,014 ; Baltic, 1,366 ; Cape of Good Hope, 1,223 ; Ichaboa, 809 ; France, 39,330 ; Jersey and Guernsey, 33,474 ; 'Western Isles, 1,059; co asters, 42,836. After the report was read some discussion took place, in which one proprietor thought it would be better to dispose of the concern to the South-Western Railway, or some other company, for a fair remuneration, but it was not entertained by the directors, or the majority of the meeting, who would rather rely on the growing importance of Southampton. Four directors, namely, Count Eyre, Captain Ward, R.N., James Rh/maiden, Esq., and J. 11. Forbes, Esq., were re-elected directors, and the report was adopted. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. THE MAILS.—SOUTHANPTON, FEB. 26.—The Oriental Company's steam-ship the Madrid arrived in the docks at eight o'clock, p.m., yesterday, and landed the mails of the following dates : —Gibraltar, Feb. 16 ; Cadiz, 17 ; Lisbon, 19 ; Oporto, 21 ; Vigo and Comma, 22. She had 27 passengers, and a full cargo of fruit. The malls were forwarded to London by the two a.m. train this mo rning. The Queen, Captain Russell, will leave here to-morrow for Gibraltar, - with the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails and full oraplonnt of paisenice FEBRUARY 28, 1846. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

IRISH Pnovisions.—At the present time when the question of the productions of the Irish soil and the lack of food for the supply of its millions of inhabitants is the theme of conversa tion and inquiry both in and oat of Parliament, it may not be unin teresting to mention the supplies of food and provisions, in addition to grain, which are received from that country for consumption la Great Britain generally, and the British metropolis especially. On Thursday, 15 vessels arrived at the port of London from various ports in the sister kingdom, laden with the produce of that *min try. Their cargoes collectively consisted of 133 tons and 15,824 quar ters of oats, 168 quarters of barley, 8,159 packages of butter, 865 packages of beef, 1,313 of bacon, and 364 of lard. On Friday the number of vessels which arrived In the river from the same quarter, was six laden with 9,244 quarters of oats, 332 packages of bacon, 1,930 packages of butter, in addition to a large quantity of pork hams, lard, 229 packages of eggs, and 209 pigs. Owing to the slackness of shipping and impert trade at the present time, to which allusion has recently been made, the number of vessels which reported at the port of London from the Irish ports exceeded numerically those which arrived from all other parts of the world. Seven vessels ar rived also ex Saturday, similarly laden, having together 8,574 quarters of oats, 672 quarters of barley, 902 packages of butter, kc., on board. The following is the list of provisions imported from Ire land into the port of Liverpool for the past week, being from the 13th to the 19th instant inclusive:-4,186 firkins, 53 half-firkins, 734 other packages, and 100 boxes of butter ; 485 tons, 120 sacks, 5,863 barrels, and 100 quarters of wheat ; 8,729 sacks, 240 casks, 10 bar rels, and 50 tons of flour ; 506 tons, 2,401 quarters, 264 sacks, and 3,399 barrels of oats ; 3,960 tons, 575 sacks, and 752 other packages of oatmeal; 55 casks of hams, 475 barrels of bacon, 814 sacks, and 250 barrels of malt ; 41 sacks of farina, 515 packages of pork, .1,627 kegs, 170 firkins, and 6 casks of lard ; 83 tons, 405 sacks , so otter tr o i o r packages, and 80 tons of meal; 111: andrl.tuto.ns... of se ro 10 flrkinS of quarters and 20 bags of barley. t ar on ti g d u a es, o 4 f 26 packages minor import/we of Irish pr • In n ad is di n ti o o t n t w o e e sia th r3 er , importance of these imports- Ibl therefrom of the capabilities of the to remar k tions or the inibrence deduc • produc e.

This has led to much questioning among the merchants connected with India ; and some of them now call to mind that about five years ago, while Runjeet Singh was yet alive, large Purchases of cannon were made in this country by the agents of that distinuguished officer, General Ventura, then in the service of the Raja ; and that, so far from any jealousy or suspicion being manifested by our Govern ment respecting them, facilities were given for their a t: t s ks po aa r t i a a y e twi r i o ni s iea s ,t the desert, which otherwise could hardly have been accomplished. Others profess to recollect, that as the vessels plying between Suez and Bombay could only take a few or liberally an paid for, on account of their great weight, a merchant ship of great power in the India trade was expressly employed to come tip to Suez, h ti e i t l h a e nd p in ar g ti o es f a thi f n o d r s where they had accumulated in large quantities, remained. Of course this service was most fatalheav y cargoa utl e ; s bwuctr money o probably neyw as of levied llo at considerationß om ba y on w t i whom it was intended. The transition from the possession of the Raja, then on friendly terms with us, to the hands which have turned this murderous weapon at a most critical moment against the bravest and the most distinguished of the British army, is perfectly ac count for, if the facts here stated are admitted. They haveea y excited to painfulsetafloat, feel t i h n o g u s g w h h v, er i e t v h er n t o h b e t y tt l e ra r ve int been mentioned, and being once Ex change rumour, it is desirabl e that therodsuubcjteicotn should be e at of ruxt a h n er in quired into by those who c an officially call for the requisite informa tion.

THE BRAZILS.—FALmouTH, FEB. 26.—Arrived this morning her Majesty's packet Express, Lieutenant-Colotte IHarrick, from the Brazils ; left Rio Jan. 9 ; freight, 7,0001. in gold and dia monds. The Express brings news from Monte Video of Dec. 23. The combined squadron, after repairing damages, had ascended the Panama without further opposition, and on December 5 were seven miles above Rosario. The arrival of the 45th and. 73d Regiments had calmed the minds of the inhabitants of Monte Video, feeling themselves secure from any attack of Oribe's forces. Colonel Silveira, with the whole department of Malseanado, have deserted from Roses. Garribaldi had routed Larrelleja, and captured his family and baggage. Urguiza had been twice repulteei before Salto. The province of Buenos Ayres is said to be full of de serters. Paraguay has joined Corricules against Roses, and 5,00 C men from Paraguay have joined Paz, who had been declared General in command of all the forces. Lopez, the President of Paraguay. had declared war against the Dictator of Buenos Ayres.
