It will promote, for Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of Independent emigrants, who, being generally unacquainted with such occupations, will derive, from an efficient direction, having at Corri- Mud all requisite mazhinery and supplies, benefits not otherwise attainable. 2. It will facilitate the emigration of persons associated with this Company for Mining purposes, more especially by procuring, at the earliest available moment, the grand desideratum of cheap steam conveyance; and the arrannements of this Company preclude all risk of loss in respect of any abandonment of engagements on the part of the emigrants. 3. The Company is free to select its ground of operations wherever the direction of labour may lead to the most beneficial results. 4. The Peculiar Inducements to Emigrants in joining this wrier taking, will be the large remuneration to the working parties (that being fixed at not less than 75 per cent. of the net produce of their labour), and the mutual security, protection, and economy of the systematic ce-operation contemplated by the project. 5. Tq Shareholders, besides the large anticpated returns on their capital, the special and acknowledged advantages of the Cost-book are also secured, viz. : Exemption from the Joint-Stock Companies' Registration Act, and from the ordinary law of partnership. Direct and constant control, at the bi-monthly meetings, over the Company's affairs. lie personal responsibility of Shareholders for any act but their own. 6. An app 'cation will be made for a Royal Charter to extend the Powers of the Association on its being constituted ; and the great Public utility of the design, leaves no doubt that the favour of the Government will be evinced by the Incorporation of the Company. The Prospectus mAy be obtained at the offices; and applications for shares in the subjoined form, with a respectable reference, to be addressed to the Committee. (By order) - W. If. Cl.

HALSE, the MEDICAL GALVANIST, of 22, Brunswick•square, London, thinks it right to state, that all the usual remedies had been tried in Mr. Smith's case without the slightest benefit. His whole nervous system was in a dreadfully shattered state, and his right arm was so comi letely paralysed that it was quite powerless ; not a single finger could he move. Ills medical adviser. as a last resource, recommended him to apply to Mr. lIALSE to be galvanised. In three weeks the paralysed arm was cured, and the patient restored to health.

The advice of those who have obtained their wisdom from practical sources is, that the Emigrant should first provide himself with substantial Clothing and useful articles for his passage out. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance he sho uld apply forthwith to those who thoroughly understand what is needed by the Emi grant on his way out, and what will be most useful when ho arrives at his future residence. No house in the kingdom has been honoured with a tithe of the business MOSES and SON have dispatched ; their entire knowledge of Outfitting enables them tot pro every article for the passage out, and suitable for any climate, Their ex perience presents the strongest inducements for the Emigrant to ap ply to them. Their universal connexion and their immense trade in every article for Outfits qualities them to furnish them at little more titan one-half the price charged elsewhere. The cheap and substan tial manner in which E. MOSES and SON have served the British public for many years with Dress, is some illustration of the extent of the benefits they can confer in their Out fits ; but the number of years they have attended to this department, and the satisfaction they have given to thousands, is the best proof of their unrivalled qualification to supply the best and cheapest Outfits in the world. Time is saved by immediate applica tion to E. MOSES and SON, separate departments being kept for Outfits and everything always ready. E. MOSES and SON having supplied the people with good and cheap Clothing at home, aro anxious the emigrant should carry to all parts of the earth the celebrity of E. MOSES and SON as Tailors, hatters, Hosiers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and Outfitters to all parts of the globe. Elegant Cabin Fnrniture always on hand for Emigrants, combining all requisite articles useful and conduciveof comfort to a Gentleman, each article being constructed so as to answer manifold purposel— Bed, Sofa, Wash-table, Easy Chairs, Mahogany Drawers, &c. &c, Gentlemen should apply immediately they take their berths to E. MOSES and SON, who keep men expressly for the purpose of fitting up cabins, for which they charge but a trifling sum. Outfits can be forwarded to any part of the om on kingdom receipt of a remittance. E. M OSES and SON can supply them at 3/. 155., 6/. 155., 11/. lls., and upwards. A detailed can be had on appli cation, or forwarded, post free, to any part of the kingdom.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. BRUTAL MURDER OF A WOMAN. At the Marylebone Police-court yesterday, after the ordi nary night cases had been disposed of, a man named William Styles, a horse-keeper in the service of the London Convey ance Omnibus Association, was placed at the bar en the charge of having murdered Emily Styles, his wife. Hampson, 230 D, said —Yesterday morning, at a quarter past 2, the prisoner came to me in Salisbury - street , Lisson grove. I said to him, "Do you want me ?" He replied, "Policeman, I wish you to go with me up here into the mews, for my wife is dead, and she is cold, with blood all over her." I asked when he had seen her last alive, and he said, "At seven o'clock last night." I said, " Have you not seen her since that ?" and he said, "Not until just now, when I went in and found her dead. I went home at 9 o'clock, at which time she was out, and I endeavoured to find her, but could not do so." Mr. BROUGHTON—'bid you observe anything particular about him when he accosted you? Witness—Nothing more than he seemed rather agitated. I went with him to 16, Victoria-mews, with other officers, when he went into a loft, and there lighted a candle, after which he went into his room. The door was shut, but not locked. I saw de cease d lyi ng on th e b e d, w ith her hands folded across her b reas t, h er mou th an d e y es were partly open, and there was bl oo d i ssu i ng f rom h er l e ft e ar. She was entirely n a k e d w i t h t h e except i on o f h er b oo t s and stockings, and was lying flat clothes had been th rown l oosely over her. I looked about the room, and on th e l e f t s i de of the bed there was a great quantity of blood. Th ere was a Isuopoanpohoe pool of of back. blood theTuhpeonbe - floor, and marks of blood spattered on the wall. On the right arm of deceased was a mark as if she had been held tightly, and there were finger marks upon her throat. Her legs, from her ankle to her knee, exhibited a complete mass of cute and bruises, such as I should think very likely to have been caused by kicks from a person with nailed boots. There was a great deal of blood on the prisoner's clothes, and on my asking him how it came there, he replied, "It was through my leaning over the bed to see if she was cold or not." I then told him he must consider-himself in my custody on suspicion of having caused the death of his wife. lle said " Very well," and ho was conveyed t 9 the station-house. Sergeant Chester, 23 D —Between two and three o'clock yesterday morning I saw the first witness and Grantham, 38 D, going along with the prisoner, and I went with them to his (prisoner's) room. (The sergeant here detailed the appearances nearly in the same terms as they were given by Ilampson). Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you think he had been drinking? ' Witness—He had perhaps taken a little to drink, but there was a very slight appearance of it. He was much excited, but in my opinion not through liquor. After the prisoner was locked up, I and the other officers returned to the prisoner's room, and we there found a shift, a pair of stays, and a petticoat rolled up in a piece of drugget lying upon the flow., which was smothered with water. The place appeared to be in much confusion. There was bread lying upon the floor, and also some sticking to the wall as if it had been thrown with great force. I saw a considerable quantity of blood on the edge of the bedstead, as also many marks upon the wall, the curtains, and the pillow. The hands of deceased were clenched. --- The following is the official statement of the quantiti corn, &c., received in the port of London from the poi Essex, from the 9th Feb., 1852, to the 14th Feb., both inclusive : ies 01 , Edinburgh ; Dublin.

Bd.; in 1847 he had paid In Premiums 1601. Its. Bd. ; but the profits being 2IA per cent. per annum on the sum insured ( which is '221. 10s. per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid. The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In surance is for Life.

The Moniteur says :—" Rumours which have not the slightest foundation are again in circulation rela tive to intended changes in the Ministry. We are authorised to contradict them in the most formal manner." A decree abolishes the royal ordinance of Dec. 8, 1830, for the creation of battalions and companies of military workmen in the ports and arsenals of the marine. This measure is based on the dissolution of the national guard, and on the consideration that the said companies and battalions have never been in reality anything else but the assembling as maritime national guard of the working population in the ser vice of the marine.

Henry Pavey, surgeon, Lyon-terrace, Maida-hill, said—l was called by the police about half-past two o'clock yesterday morning, and on entering the room pointed out to me as the prisoner's, I saw deceased lying in bed upon her back with her hands on her chest. She was then dead and nearly cold. Mr. BROUGHTON—To the best of your judgment, sir, how long do you think she had been dead? Witness—Probably between three and four hours. Mr. BROUGHTON—What do yon imagine her age to have been ? Witness Somewhere about forty. Mr. BROVGHTON—In what state as to wounds, &c., did you find the body? Witness—The bead was bruised in va rious parts, and blood was flowing close to the left ear from a lacerated wound, which might have been caused by a blow. The eyes were half closed, and the tongue, which was pro truding from the mouth, was slightly wounded. On the throat and the upper part of the chest were marks as if caused by severe pressure. Upon the lower parts of the body there were no wounds. There was a wound between two fingers of the left hand, w hich was completely black ; and there was extravasatea blood under the skin. There were distinct marks of a hand on the right arm ; there were no bones broken. Yesterday I again made an examination, and after removing the stockings I found that the legs were much lacerated and torn. Mr. 13nouaTos—Did these injuries appear to have been n recently inflicted? Witness—Most certainly. In reply to further questions from the magistrate, Witness said—l observed no appearance about the head likely to have caused death. There might, however, with out the appearance of any fracture, be concussion of the brain. There had been an attempt to remove blood from the floor. An artery in the hand had no doubt been divided. In his (witness's) opinion death had arisen from suffocation, and it appeared from the position of the body that it had been laid out after deceased was dead. She could not have placed herself in such a position herself as that in which I described her. _ _ The female apparel previously alluded to, and also a gown which belonged to deceased, were produced, and the whole of the articles were quite wet, and numerous marks of blood, which it had evidently been attempted to wash out, were still visible upon them. Grantham, 38 D, gave evidence corroborative of a great portion of what had been previously stated, adding that he saw a tub of water of a reddish colour under the window, and close by was a gown wet through, and which no doubt had been used to wipe up the floor. Amelia Clements said that she lived at No. 15, Victoria stables, next room to the prisoner. The last time she saw deceased alive was on Saturday night, at half-past nine o'clock, in the mews. She then made no complaint to her whatever. The deceased was a quiet sober woman. Mr. BROLTINITON—When did you hear of her death? Witness—Yesterday morning, at half-past eleven o'clock. The night before I heard a sort of knocking, but took no particular notice of it, thinking that it might have pro ceeded from some of the horses. I heard no words pass be tween deceased and the prisoner. I never saw her the worse for drink. Frances Jones, living at No. 14, adjacent to prisoner, said that she had known him and deceased for about six months. She had complained frequently of her husband not behaving well to her, alleging that he had punched her while in bed, and just before Christmas had given her a black eye. At half-past seven o'clock on Saturday evening she told witness she was afraid to go home to him as he was of such a dreadful temper. Three weeks ago deceased showed witness a quantity of broken china, which damage had been done by her husband. Prisoner—l deny giving her a black eye. Powell, foreman at the mews, deposed that the prisoner was in his employ, and that he had known him eight or ten years. Prisoner and his wife had not lived upon good terms together. Witness had never seen him beat her, but he had seen her with black eyes. The last time he saw her alive was on Saturday. Mr. BuouGirros—When did you last see the prisoner ? Witness—At 20 minutes past twelve o'clock on Saturday night. He then went out of the yard. I live in the next room to his over the stables, and I heard no disturbance. if there had been a quarrel of a serious nature, I must have heard it. George Walker, a labourer, said, at nine o'clock on Satur day night he was with the prisoner and his wife. Prisoner—The last time I saw my wife alive was about 7 o'clock on Saturday night. When I had done my work I went out to see if 1 could find her, as she was not at home. I went to the coffee-shop, but she was not there, and when I got back home I found her in bed. I laid hold of her and lifted her up, and finding that she was dead I instantly went to the policeman and informed him of what was amiss. I never saw her out all Saturday night, and the last time I saw her alive was when I went to change my horses. I know nothing of her death. The Magistrate, after reviewing the whole of the ev idence, remarked that, takingl all the circumstances into considera tion, he could come to no other than an unfavourabl e lusion as regarded the prisoner, whom he remanded f ur ther examination on Monday next. A great crowd assembled round the van in wh ich the pri soner was conveyed to the House of De tention. unfavourable for n viP - 1; ( 1111.11111111111114 *O.), " , .1."4 I rr, le • Wit, 0 • '4 ' 4:- ATS, .„. • L'Ar • ff _ 4:.'f-1 • 1 • L` • • 4 n - f.:": • , , V" . 4.04. 4f/S/ ." + 6 J 4 4.1 t 4.. ,L _ "11 0 i s Pe - \ 15 ?' ta4w:?;742 t4 7(11. -• L • • • 1.1 14.. 0 T • „41i-X;tol4.

They so per fectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never ekange colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

He then commenced using Holloway's Ointment arid Pills, and after giving them a fair trial, his leg was completely cured, and the wounds soundly healed.

The subject of Irel an d h as occupied a prom inent part in t her Majesty's Spee c h f rom the Throne, an d w hile we canno but lament the occur rence o f outrages in cer t a in parts of that country, it is g ra tif y i ng to observe that th e tranquillity which has prevailed i n t h e west and sout h co ntinues unin terrupted, and has even led to the contemplation of a reduc tion in the police force in those districts. We have been assured that the attention of the Go vernment has been seriously directed towards the state of Ireland, and the countenance and sanction given to the efforts of the West of Ireland Land Company are proofs of the earnestness of their inten tions. The great impediment to individual enterprise is the isolated :condition of them who are engaged in at tempts to improvement and the difficulty experienced In contending with the many obstacles which are its conse quence. These difficulties will not be felt by a powerful rtserihnhtloteecussr p company possessing large tracts of land. introducing the most recently improved modes of cultivation, and conducted by men of capital, ability, and perseverance, We have taken an interest in the efforts of the promoters of this com pany, because we recognise in their success the harbinger of better days for Ireland, and because we expect through their means the introduction of permanent employment for the labouring population of that beautiful, but neglected country. by Royal Charter, and we understand that Government have expressed not only a strong feeling in its favour, but inti mated their readiness to co-operate with the directors in any measures, calculated to promote the interests of Ireland. The directors were anxious that such stipulations should be made common to other companies of in the Charter as would give stability to the undertaking, and make timely and judicious provision against the tempta tion,the capital, or borrowing roo m y on mortgage. With this paying dividends out of view it has been determined that the Charter shall prohibit the company from exercising this power, and that Go vernment shall have the appointment of one of the com pany's auditors. We trace in this arrangement an anxious concern for the interests of the company, and consider the insertion of these stipulations calculated to inspire public confidence. The objects of the West of Ireland Company are, to pur chase some of the large estates in the province of Connaught now in the market, and to improve and let on lease, or re sell, the same in such portions as may be deemed advisable. Th e difficulties hitherto in the way of such an undertaking have been the enormous costs of transferring land. It will hardly be credited, that in a case of sale of land for 1,200/.. the costs to seller and buyer amounted to 2001., being about seeentetn per cent., or one -sixth of the purchase money. the Encumbered Estates Act. and land with unassailable those e ith u how ; mayaveb e o : purchasedt i s happily,n o t 1 i t be o be wondered at that attention British Empire.

BELGIUM. The new number of the Bulletin Francais has been seized like its predecessors. It contains two articles, one on " Public Opinion," and the other on " The Situation of the Legitimatist Party." Both are written with much power. The Prince - DE LIGNE has been sent to Berlin, charged with the duty of placing in the hands of the King of PRUSSIA an autograph letter of the Kimei of the BELGIANS. The Belgian Government has just ordered an augmentation of 100 men in each of the battalions of the regiments of the line of the Belgian army. As there are 49 battalions, this will make the total aug mentation 4,900. It is reported also, says the Prase, that the Government intends to apply to the Chambers for a credit of 6,000,000 f. for the establishment of an entrenched camp in the environs of Antwerp, and for putting into a state of defence the Te to de Flandres. The Independance of Brussels publishes a model petition, which the supporters of Louis NAPOLEON are circulating for signature, in order to its presen tation to the Senate upon its meeting. The prayer of the petition is, that Louis NAPOLEON may gra ciously assume the empire, , and constitute it heredi tary, in order to assure France against evils which she is now dreading. The first petition emanates from the town of Chatillon-sur-Loire. SWITZERLAND. Letters of the 12th from Berne state that Mr. MAGENNIS, lately appointed British Minister in Switzerland, had received orders to leave London and repair immediately to his post. As Mr.Ma- GENNIS had been indulged with a conge of six months, this precipitate order for his return is attri buted to the complications likely to arise in Switzer land. It was also said at Berne that a special mis sion bad been proposed to General Duroun to proceed to Paris, but that he had declined on account of his health. The Federal Journal has the following, under the head of Berne :—" The note of the French Govern ment, recently presented to the Federal Council, complains of the hostility of the Swiss press to the PRESIDENT. We are assured that the Ambassador of France, M. FENELON, declared, in presenting the note, that the French Republic meant that it should be executed, not discussed. This has produced great sensation at Berne." ITALY. The Bologna Gazette of the 3d announces that a company has been formed at Bologna for the Modena and Prato Railway, which is to connect Tuscany with Bologna, Modena, and the whole of the railways of central Italy. The company demands a concession of 99 years and 4 per cent. guaranteed interest. The whole expense will, it is said, amount to 5,500,00 0 Roman scudi (28,000,0000, each share being fixed at 500 f. By this railway, Leghorn will come to be connected with Trieste, by means of the Lombardo- Venetian lines. The responsible editor of the Italia e Popolo, of Genoa, has been just condemned-Ist, to 400 f. fine, for a libel upon a priest; 2dly, to six months' im prisonment and, 200 f. fine for a libel upon General FERRETTI ; idly, to the same punishment for a libel upon a Consul ; 4thly, to one month's imprisonment and 100 f. fine for an insult against the religion of the State. A letter from Florence of the 11th, in the Risor■ giniento of Turin, states that the GRAND DUKE has directed another Constitution to be framed, according to the spirit of the times. IMPORTANT MEETING AT THE EARL OF DERBY'S. A numerous meeting of the Members of the House of Commons took place yesterday, at the Earl of Derby's re sidence in St. James's-square, when the course to be pursued by the Protectionist party on Lord John Russell's new Re form Bill was discussed. Lord Derby made a powerful speech, in which he stated, that in his opinion a most de cided opposition should be made to the second reading of the Bill, on the ground that the Reform Bill of 1832 had settled the preponderance of the aristocratic and democratic powers of the Constitution, and had at the time been accepted as a settlement of the question of Reform in the House of Commons; and that, although he admitted that there were many defects in that Bill, which he was not unwilling should be amended, yet that the present measure would e n tirely upset the balance of these p owers, and add greatly to the democratic party ; that he was, therefore, decidedly adverse to the measure, and recommended that it erhshould e bbe opposed as strongly as possibl e. The y might, paps, beaten in the contest, but at all events they would have done their duty to the Throne and the country. The Noble Earl's observations were received with the greatest enthu siasm, and a resolution to opp ose the second reading of the Bill was carried with only one dissentient voice. The following Members were presen t —The Hon. J. Maxwell, Mr. J. Renton, Mr. J. Ferrer, Captain ArchdslL Colonel Chatterton, Mr. Alderman Thompson, Mr. W . Forbes, Mr. J. Dodd, Mr. J. M.

FRENCH PLAYS. The St. James's Theatre campaign commenced last night, when a full and fashionable audience testified their apprecia tion of the spirited enterprise of Mr. Mitchell. The open ing of the season was of good augury for this admirable manager, than whom none is more deserving of public pa tronage. The two initiatory pieces selected were La Pensiost Alimentaire and Lc Marquis do Lauzun. The acting of Lafont in the former is a masterpiece of nonchalant viva c it y . The vaudeville is nothing but the lively rattle of the scape grace, who for his sins against solvency and good conduct is expelled by his relatives into the garden, where he lives in a summer-house, and diverts the spectators for a couple of hours pleasantly. The scanty plot of the piece, which in volves the restoration of a heiress to her rights, of which she is likely to be robbed by a genteel and polished hypo crite, is of little moment ; but the quickness with which it is played, and the point and dexterity of all concerned in it, afford a brilliant and admirable example of French acting. The happy conversational tone and natural movement throughout kept the audience last night in a roar of laughter, which it is not too much to say scarcely for a moment ceased during the entire performance. Lafont's rollicking ease as a inaurais sujet,:his obstinate disre gard for all the prejudices of respectability, are well known ; but there is in this particular scamp an admixture of delicacy and a stamp of grace which, in the midst of pipe-smokings petits rerres, and endless laxities of language and deport ment, point to the redeemable nature. In the Marquis. de Lauzun, the quaint and inimitable Dejazet played a part which for some time past has been ingreat vogue at the Palaie Royal Theatre. Though several years have elapsed since Ma demoiselle Dejazet last appeared before an English audience, and her long and brilliant career has brought her to a period of life when time usually begins to triumph over all the re sources of the most consummate art, we should be puzzled to point out in what particular any signs of weakness are be trayed. Even her singing voice is as fresh and flexible as ever, and it would have been severely tested had she yielded whiocrhdsfoallodwiespdlaeyacfhorofthheerrude es. obedience h t e o p t e e c e e n itself cores affords consum mate tact and confidence of this most accomplished ac tress. Nothing could exceed her finesse, vivacity, and finish in the several characters which she assumed in this little piece. The self-possession of Dejazet is unbounded ; her manner is so dectage and spontaneous as to completely sink the actress in the real, natural person ; while with all her saucy assurance there is something in her deportment which quells the fear that at first instinctively rises lest she should overstep the bounds of decorum and commit some heinous breach of propriety. Her skill in the assumption of " cha racter" is, however, less remarkable than her ease in accom modating herself, in her own minute and chirping way, to the motive and spirit of the scene. Dejazet, in fact, is--- Dejazet ; and, bound by no rules, she exercises a control over the audience which it is impossible to analyse, but which, nevertheless, is singularly genial, piquant, and agreeable. The arrangements made for the ensuing season are of the most liberal character. After Lafont and Dejazet we are promised Lemaitre and Clarissa, to be followed by Reguier, Denain, Rose, Cheri, and others. _ The following distinguished persons honoured the theatre with their presence : —The Russian Ambassador and the Baroness Brunnow, the French Ambassador and the Countess Walewki, the Sardinian Minister, the Baron Rehausen, the Baron de,Bethman, Count Perponcher, the Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Viscountess Palmerston, the Marquis of Douro, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Countess of Glengall, Lord Elphinstone, Lord Chelsea, the Countess de Flahault, the Portuguese Minister, the Vicountess D'Alte, Lady William Russell, Viscount Canning, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, Lady Rendlesham, the Countess of Bucking hamshire, Lord and Lady Wodehouse, Baron de Gear, Lady Frederic Beauclerk, Lord Eliot, the Baron Kirbeck, Count Trautsmannsdorfl, the lion.

One of the elements of success in this theatre is the avoid ance of tedious productions, of which five-act plays are the head and front. Le Chapeau dc Faille, a bustling drama which last year had an immense run at the Palais Royal Theatre, was produced here last night under the title of The Leghorn Bonnet. Condensed into one act, the essence of the original was presented to the audience, who were impelled to an incessant roar of laughter. The rapidity and drollery of the incidents, the rich fun of Wright and Bedford, and Emery's excellent representation of a jealous bridegroom, together with the admirable exertions of Messrs. Worrell and Cullenford, Miss Emma Harding, and the rest of the company, kept the piece alive from beginning to end, and the curtain fell amid that unmeasured applause which i 3 the customary meed of a new Adelphi piece.
