The Imperial Hotel Company has been formed, with Limited Liability under the Act of last Session, forthe purpose of building a large Hotel, on the principle of the great Hotel du Louvre, Rue Rivoli, Paris. Parliament having purchased a site for a new National Gallery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc cupied by the Naional Gallery, Trafalgar Square, is in every respect one of the finest and most appropriate that could bo selected in Loudon for such an Hotel. As investments for capital, such undertakings have proved highly successful. The leading capitalists in Europe and America have united in promoting them. The Great Western Hotel in London, on the same principle, has proved to be a highly remunerative investment ; the net profits in the last division were 31 per cent. per annum, and the dividend was at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum. The Shares have about doubled in value, and, although it has not been in ope ration two years, it is too small to meet the daily applications for accommodation. The profits of the IMPERIAL HOTEL, from its superior situation and many other advantages, will be at least equd to the most lucrative undertakings of a similar mauve. A Bill giving powers to the Company, with reference to the site in Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the House of Commons. An instalment of 2/. per share is required to obtain com plete registration with limited liabi ity; bat should that or the site not bo obtained the deposit will be returned to the Shareholders, le -s a sum not exceeding 3s. per share on ac count of expenses _ Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form, addressed to the Brokers, Messrs. Helbert, Wagg, and Co., I, Shorter's-court,' Throginorton-street ; or Me srs. Barnett, Ellis, and Co., 18, Finch-lane; or to the Secretary, 4, White hall; but no application will be considered unless a Deposit of 1/. for each Share is previously made with Messrs Coutts and Co., 59, Strand ; or Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and Co., Lombard - street , t h e Bankers of the Company. This Deposit will be carried to the credit of the instalment of 2/. per Share payable after allotment, and will be repaid in the event of the application not being acceded to ; and no further call will be made until the agreements for the purchase of the site have been settled. Prospectuses and Forms of ii Application DAryvip f s o o r N Sh , a s r e e c s re m ta a i y 7. be obtained of the Broke rs or the Secreta. Offices, 4, Whlehall. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SNARES.

Henceforth, therefo. we shall expect to hear less clever and, sharp witti cisms against those sights and those sight-seers whose Supporters are numbered among,the less in tellectual and the less dignified ranks of our coun trymen. The common-place amusements of the town may now challenge more indulgence, when. Lords and Commons ask for a holiday to go out to gaze neon a pageantry with all the eagerness o ehoolboya We do not condemn them ; far from it—the oc casion is worthy much curiosity ; and we would be well content if a far greater number of our country men, or indeed half the world, could takes holiday for such an occasion, and be present at the spectacle. A well-appointed army is no wean indication of the civilisation, the resources, the power of a nation. But a navy is more ;—for, as the mastery of the sea is longer in acquiring, and is anepitome of empire when acquired, so a great and compact navy actually afloat is the long result of indomitable perseverance, prudence, and energy, and is an epitome of all the mechanical skill, the science, the artificial and na tural wealth of a people. It is that which gold cannot buy • it cannot be created at the nod of the mosfpowerful despot, it is not a matter of three, six, or nine months' training; it cannot be levied by conscription • it cannot start into being at the bidding of the most consummate genius, or under the immediate agency of the most unlimited means. Such a fleet as will be gathered together at Spit head on Wednesday next. so built, so appointed, and so manned, would require more than a gene ration to replace, if it were sunk beneath the sea, awl more than many generations in any other quarter of the world. Many will treat this assertion as an exaggera tion, we doubt not ; many who have been accus tomed to witness the extraordinary mechanical contrivances of the present day, and to believe that everything is possible to human - industry, will re gard this remark with a smile of incredulity. They will appeal to our dockyards and our railways, and to those immense material results of human skill and invention which rise up with such extraordi nary rapidity around us. But between the screws. timber, and cordage which go to the formation of a navy, between the mere ships and all that is re• quired to the due and perfect control, use, aid manning of them—and not less the very spirit that seems to stir and breathe in them—vast is the dif ference. The very traditions of a navy, the scope and elbow room which it has enjoyed for years—the defiant air with which it has trod the deep —never veiling its flag to any one ;—all these are essential to its perfect formation and character as they are invaluable—as they are 119 transferable. As well might Messrs.

That thing is not to be done—at least in a summer's day. No ; not by the stoutest or the strongest, the most audacious or the most ambi tious. The world has seen the greatest plans for territorial empire successfully laid by the shrewdest genius of the 17th century ; it has seen the most mighty and disciplined armies, headed by generals of the most consummate skill, set on foot by Louis XIV. ; it has seen a later attempt, when Napoleon 1., out of the Sans-culottism of Paris and the provinces, raised from year to year ve terans—heroes—the very marrow of soldiers, without a parallel, except in those of Hanni bal. But a navy raised by one man, whatever his skill, wealth, power, or activity, it has never seen—and it never will. Yet the trial has been made more than once ; it was made by Riche- [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• he was educated by his father • whether we regard the ideas of constitutional freedom he has imbibed from the courtly entourage at Berlin ; or whether we contemplate his intimate relations with the im perial family of the meek and much-abused empire of Russia—in all and every respect this princely , suitor must recommend himself highly to the affec tion and sympathies of the people of England. Indeed, look at the honours and noble properties he inherits. - Is he not the son of him whom the people of Germany have designated the " Grape shot Prince ?" Look, again, at the principles, moral and political, that have been instilled into him. He has been duly tutored by a monarchic Camarilla, which inscribes massacre, espionage, theft of public documents, unfair duelling, and other " noble accomplishments," in the decalogue of her morality. Regard the constitutional school in which he was reared. He comes from a Court whose ruling principle has been a series of coup d'etats. Look at the astounding popularity of the dynasty he represents. He belongs to a royal family whose sovereign head, as well as his own father, have thrice, within a few years, had narrow escapes from the retributive bullet. Look at the dynas tic prospecti lie offers to his bride. He is the eventual heir to a kingdom, the population of which can only be kept down by the bayonet, by strangling the Press, and by the iion gripe of the police. Look at the re3ollections of his youth. His earliest political remembrances must furnish him the picture of a capital in revolt, an insurgent peo ple besieging his Royal Uncle in his palace, and driving out his own father into exile. LA* at the political education given him when entering the first stage of manhood. Scarcely had he attained the age of eighteen when in the train of his father, in the south-west of Germany, he hal to feed his eyes on the spectacle of fusillades, floggings, and imprisonments, by which the flower of German democracy was decimated and tortured.. Lastly, lo sk at the friendships this same young Prince cid iivaies-at the present moment, and to the military rank he occupies in a country neighbouring to his own. Wel, the i iti a.cy he most del , ght in is that of the y sung Grand Dukes of the Muscovite Court ; and among his military titles is that of " Colonel of the Bth Regiment of Russian Hussars I" &nth are the promising circumstances connected with the character, position, and prapects of our expected guest. And with these unrolled before us, can there be a doubt of the advantages that would accrue lo this country by being united to the n';ble house of Hohenzollern, through the ties of matrimonial contract, and the law of inheritance ! Can there he a criestion whether Fred-rick Wil liam Nicholas ought, or ought not, to be received with open arms to the hearthstone of an English Palace ? Why, through the proj , cted alliance with a Prince of the Court of Berlin, Great Britain would again become re-linked to the Court of St. Petersburg. The holy alliance of despots, momen tarily broken through by the late war, would thus be re-established in a manner most firm and durable by these marital means. Are we not, then, to congratulate ourselves on this new guarantee for our cherished " free institutions ?" Are we not to rejoice that Frederick William IV., and Alex ander 11., assisted by Leopold of Belgium, • will make up, henceforth, a choice of advisers and Crown councillors for the Government of the British Isles ? But enough of this. Let us now address a word in earnest to those with whom the fate of the Prin cess Royal will depend. The Royal child—for such she still is, though the duties of the woman are already to be imposed upon her—is, no doubt, little aware what desti!.y may await her when mounting, if she ever does, that throne of Prussia, whose rottenness is now unseen by her infantile eyes. The Royal Princess can scarcely be supposed to understand what feelings animate the people who are, even now perhaps, pointed out to her as her future subjects. The life of the daughter of Queen Victoria has hitherto passed along in a placid stream of security and ease. Nothing knows she of the Revolutionary storms that shook the Prus sian throne—nothing of the ghastly scenes of March, 1848, when the King, with uncovered head, was compelled by the people to do penance before the corpses of his subjects that he had slaughtered, whilst a Queen of Prussia lay swooning in terror, only to awaken to tears and lamentations. The Princess Royal knows nothing of the hideous -was sacres performed by the father of her expected husband,—uothing of the consequent conspiracies against the hated House of Hohenzollern, —nothing of the Republican sentiments that have destroyed or undermined the bigot loyalty of populations, once the most obedient in all Germany. Under these circumstances, we ask—ls it in con formity with national policy thus to embark the daughter of Queen Victoria in the frail vessel of the Prussian dynasty, and to trust her to a sea, which, however apparently calm at present, may any moment be lashed to fury I , y the storm of popular indignation I Is it possible that . , to suit certain political schemes, the innocent and Amiable Princes; Royal should be offered up a sacrifice to kingly statecraft, I We fear greatly it will be so ; for, all the minutite of the marri , ge appear already arranged and pre concerted. At Berlin, at least, we are told, the young Prince has asked permission from his Royal uncle to proceed on his wooing errand to the Eng lish shores ; and Frederick William IV., it is re ported, has granted his consent in a solemn cere tnonial, being surrounded by his whole Court assem bled for the purpose in the Palace. Thus, it seems, this matrimonial union may be almost considered as an accomplished fact. In the meanwhile, an invisible hand is writing on the Palace-walls of Berlin the doom of the house of Hohenzollern ; and perhaps but few years may pass over before the Mote Tekel will receive its terrible fulfilment. lien; it was tried by Louis'XlV.; Napoleon, more sagacious than either, gave up the attempt, for he knew well that the excellence and strength of a navy did not depend only on the outward material of which it is composed. He knew that even by land money is not the sinews of war, as is trivially said, when the sinews of men's hearts and arms are wanting ; still more by sea, where the mere per sonal bravery of man against man, though indis pensable to victory, is, perhaps, one of the smallest.

Snell a review, then, as this at Spithead is some thing more than a pageant ; it is an epitome of our history, of our power, our wealth, and our indus try as a nation. So will it be regarded, if not by Englishmen, by many a foreigner who will be pre-, sent. They may, and they will, speculate on the means and causes which brought into existence so great and so unmatchable an instrument for de struction. They may also—we hope they will— reflect that, whilst thus having a giant's strength, we have neither the intention nor the will " to use it as a giant" unless compelled to it. NO MORE CI)MIIISSIOAS IN THE ARMY WITHOUT PURCHASE. The following is the letter which is now addressed to candidates for commit , sions. It renders the pros pect of those who expect to go in without purchase quite hopeless : "Horse Guards, April 16. am directed by the General Cotnmandieeg•in- Chief to desire that you report yourself at the utlice of the G ivernor of the Royal Midiary College at Sandhurst at 10 o'clock on the niornirg of the 221 inst., for the purpose of undergoing a further examination in Latin or French and algebra. You are, however, distinctly to understand that, in the event of your passing satisfac torily, that circumstance will give you no claim to be appointed to a commission before it may come to your turn in reference to your standing with other candi dates on the list ; but the General Commanding•in Chief will be happy to bring you forward if you can pur chase, when he can do so consistently with his other en gagements. "You are required to produce to the College autho rities a certificate of confirmation, and his lordship deems it highly expedient that you should also take with you the memorandum' or paper of instruction which was issued to guide you in your studies, in order that if any question should arise as to the course in which you are to be examined, the professors may, upon reference to the paper, be able at once to decide the point.

BUTTER ADULTERATED WITH FLINT STONE—Astound ing as the announcement at the heading of this paragraph is, it is nevertheless rue. Butter is adulterated with flu• t stones. This heartless and wicked fraud is especially prao tired in the low kinds of butter usually sold in large maim fa.ctering towns to the poorer and industrious population The flint stones are ground and thee chernienly manipu lated, until they are reduced int-+ a soluble substance, which is known by the denomination of "soluble silica.'l Whsn this litter prerarati.on is dissolved in water it be comes a stiff platineus body. somewhat resembling etron jelly. This jelly is mixed to a considerable extent with butter of low quality, to which fresh salt and colouring matter are added. The product of. this villanoue adulte ration is a compound which resembles a very good looking dairy-made butter. But it has not the firmness or bright appearance of genuine butter, and is devoid of the richness and wholesome qualities of the latter. We have seen this gross adulteration at the laboratories of the Northern Analytical College, Sheffield, and we are credibly informed that Professor Calvert, of Manches ter, has detected this fraud recently and frequently. Such is one phase of the adulterating system. It is a near approach to, if not a verification of the poor man "asking for bread, and having a atone given to him." If such unprincipled sopbistications are not soon done away with by stringent laws and public condemnation, it will end in our better halves treating ourselves and friends with luxurious gastronomic entertainments, in which fliut stones, lime, sl oe leaves , and sand will form the chief ingredients of the family spread ; and we shall be enabled to ask our particular friends to come and take a cup of sloe tea, with a little " toast and flint," gravel, constipation, and diarrhcea included.

She brings 01,943 dole. and 3001. sterling in silver on freight. . In the Sea — ate, on the 7th, Mr. Mason, from the Committee on Foreign relations, reported a rrso• lution to the effect that no further legislation was necessary in order to put an end to the treaty with Denmark regulating the Sound Dues, and the sub jectwas made a special order for discussion. Mr. Seyer, as the sole representative of the State of Missouri, referring to-the Kansas discussion, said that the circuni,tances under which the debate was inaugurated seemed to indicate a purpose to make political capital out of the Kansas disturbances, with a view of controlling the coming national and State elections. In such a controversy he had no disposition to engage ;. it was, however, his duty to defend his constituents against the grave and seri ous charges brought against them. He then pro cee led to consider the constitutional aspect of the slavery 'question, contending that the power. of Congre;s to make all needful vules'and regulations in reg , r 1 to the territories and other property of the United Statei extends to the public domain only, and not to the domesticaffairs or institutions of the territory. _ _ In the Hoose of Repre4eutiqii,ii.lgr. Hngbston earnestly condemned theNi4ation of she -1118sonri restrictions, and expressed as his opinion that the rights of the people of Kansan had been usurped by invaders. Mr. Boyce argued that Great Britain bad violated their neutrality in the enlistment case ; they should insist by negotiation on reparation, which would be forthcoming when a future British Administration attained power, for the present one could not make reparation without condemning itself He objected to Great Britain's pretence to the Mosquito pro tectorate and occupation of Balaton. War was not a means for the settlement of the question, their policy being peace. On the motien of Mr. Humphrey Marshall, the Committee on Foreign Affairs was instructed to in quire into the expediency of declaring the engage ment of American vessels in the Chinese coolie trade to be illegal and a sufficient cause of forfeiture to the captors of the ship engaged therein. It was resolved on this subject, on the motion of Mr Pringle, of New York, that the President be requested to com tiunicatewhat information be may possess in regard to citizens of the United States being engaged in the slave trade or the transporta tion in American ships of coolies from China to Cuba and other countries with the intention of placing or contitaning them in a state of slavery or servitude, and whether such traffic is not, in his opinion, a violation of the spirit of existing treaties, rendering those engaged in it liable to indictment for piracy, and especially that he be requested to communicate to the House the facts and circum stances attending the shipment from China of some 50) coolies in the Sea Witch, of New York, a ves sel bit-31y wrecked on the coast of Cuba. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says :—" I understand that the English and French Ministers declare that troops will be landed from their respective squadrons off Central America to aid Costa Rica against General Walker. Mr. Mason apprehends that such action would arouse a Filibustering spirit which perhaps even he could not control." At New York the new steam-sh i p for the Collins line, the Adriatic, had been launched amid general rejoicing; after the launch Mr. Collins and Mr. Steers gave a dinner, at which some speeches were made of an entirely unpolitical character.

In a country town a good customer never knows what he has to pay ; there is always something‘additional. The account once opened, it becomes a sort of: wound which it would be un safe to close ; the door once opened to the village carpenter or builder, he haunts the house for ever, like a rat or a ghost ; your morning slumbers are disturbed by. the noise of falling tiles, and you eat your dinner to the sound of eternal hammering. The job is always half-done and when in a fit of disgust you tell John to get that man's bill and dismiss him, he can't get it, and be can't dismiss him ; the man has something still on hand, and before he makes up his account he has to wait for the account of some other man, of name unknown, whom he employed in some incomprehensible work of detail—a lock or a pipe, or nobody knows what. So it fared with the celebrated Mr. Briggs, and so it happeni to the House of Commons. There is no end to the bill, and the house that votes mil lions upon millions without a grudge is asked for a few thousands more, in the same peddling spirit with wh:oh a -petty tradesman, whose yearly bill has just been paid in full, as was fondly imagined, bothers one about 35., bid. for extra work. There was . a good deal of confusion in the Estimates, as we have vne over them already, but we were not prepared for the further c .nfusion in the series of Estimates, No. VII., which are devoted to "Mis cellaneous, Special,,and Temporary Obj f3C s," Rua are to come before the house to-night. From these it would appear that the public accounts are like a lady's letter—a series of postscripts stretch ing to infinity, small by degrees and beautifully less. It was bad enough that we should have the Post-office accounts mixed up in three - different series of e3timates—first of all , in these of the r, ve nue dep irtinents, then in those of the navy, lastly, in those of the public dep Ttnients generally ; and perhaps out read rs will nut be able to comprehend by what strange process these accountsshould come to be so divided. It must therefore be explained that in the first vote we have an estimate fur the working of the Post-office, in the second an esti mate for the packet service, while iu the third we have a separate estimate of the sum required for the postages of the navy and oiler public depart ments. There is something in this last item that shows a genitfs for confuion in the Treasury, the cost of postage for the navy being charged neither to the debit of the Admiralty nor to the credit of the Post-office, but to a third account, called " General Expenses." And then there is a fourth account still required for • the superannuation al lowances of the Post-office, while in the report of the Postmaster-General and in the accounts of public income we have a fifth statement of postal returns. All this is very absurd, and the worst of it is that the same vicious system pervades all the Esti mates. If we take up any one item at random, it is impossible to state what is the total sum which is devoted tb it, and in how many different papers it is stated. The army and navy medals, for example —who shall compare the Estimates of last year with those of the present year, and tell whether we shall discover the final vote for it under the head of the Army or of the Navy, of the Mint, or of the " Temporary Objects" which have given rise to these remarks ? The sum which is demanded in these Estimates amounts to 450,0001. The various charges that ga to makeup this total are paltry enough, but' the more trifling these charges are the greater right have we to complain that they were not included in the orignal accounts. They are the last feathers that break the public patience ; they illustrate a system which, when it comes to these details, is too ridiculous and too troublesome to be borne. Here, for instance, are a number of votes asked for vari ous commissions—for Statute Law, for Common .Law, for Chancery, for County Courts, for Civil Se rvice, for Lunacy in Scotland, for Endwed Schools in Ireland. Common sense surely requires that the expenses of these c )mmissions should be classed under the exp , nvs of the Public Departments, and the EndowedScho&s Commission under the E Luca catioual grant. Who can tell us what is voted annually for Education and Science ? We have just mentioned one item ; there is a further sum in the present estimates for Professors at C onbridge, in the Army Estimates we bear of so much for Wool wich, in the Navy Estimates of so much for the Greenwich Observatory, and so on, a few pounds here and a few pounds there. Here, again, we are asked for 5001. for the Lunacy Commission in Scot laud ; in the Estimates No. If., for the " Public Departments," 1,3101. is asked for the " contingent exoenses of the Commissioners in Lunacy," and ten times that sum is paid, besides, out of the Con solidated Fund. Is it monstrous to expect that all these sums suould be classed together, and that we should know at once what is required under any one head of service? Here, too, we nave sums demande'd for Battersea Park, for Chelsea embankment, for Windsor improvements; for Einbassy-houses, for Consulate buildings, for Lighthouses, for the Irish National Gallery. It is difficult to understand why these votes are not classed under the head of " Public Works," or something else more appro priate than the stupid heading of "Temporary Objects." For the police at Aldershott 7,5001. is asked ; why was not this asked under the head either of " Police" or of the " Army ?" It will be observed that we object principally to the man ner of stating the account, but we have equally good grounds for objecting to some of the charges themselves. What, for instance, is the meaning of this 7,5001. for the police at Aldershott ? Cannot the soldiers be made to take care of themselves ? The heroes of discipline, the creatures of drill, re quire a lot of policemen to keep them in order ! It is a specimen of how all our public departments are managed, not one of them being self-sufficient, but every one reqdiring to be patched up by auxi liary departments and reported upon by extempore commissions. Throughout these Estimates we find the same absurd want of unity, and the same wasteful expenditure. Under the Patent Law Amendment Act, it is stated that 8,4001. is re quired for " fees to law officers of the Crown in England." The sum is enormous, and, even were it reasonable, it surely belongs to a different page of the national ledger. It will be further found . that under the same act 4,5221. is to be voted for " compensations." The Patent Clerk to the At torney and Solicitor-General gets under this head 8501.—a sum greater than the half-pay of an Admi ral, double that of the general clerk of the Encum bered Estates Commission, and equal to the com pensation allowed to the Lord-Advocate for Scot land. The Attorney-General and Solicitor-Gene ral for Ireland get between them 2,0001., and we are puzzled to knew why these gentlemen, together with the Lord-Advocate, should not receive suffi cient salaries, stated once for all, and whether these "compensations" are to he continued to the subsequent holders of .. thAr offices? We are very sure that the public will not long endure to have its financial statements in such inextricable confusion. It would be a disgrace to the petty tradesman whose transactions seldom get beyond the column of shillings, or to the publican who chronicles small beer in chalk on the back of a shutter, if his accounts were thus involved in con fusion. It is not simply a disgrace—it is criminal, that in the first mercantile country in the world the accounts of a Government which expends nearly 100,000,00 9 /. a-year—a sum easily written in figures, but which no imagination can grasp— should be kept in such a manner as to make it im possible to discover what is our expenditure, and to expose the country most certainly to all the evils ofjobbery and peculation. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) The naval review at Spithead, on Wednesday next, will he an event remai kable in the annals of naval displays. We are not surprised that it should challenge so much interest ; that Lords and Com mons vie for the means of bing present at it, with an anxiety and emulation apparently proportionate to the show itself, although foreign to our national gravity. It is not merely that the sight of so many ships of war thus brought together is imposing, nor that the spectacle will he graced by the pre sence of Majesty and set off with the splendour of rank and genius, nor yet tht&there will be ex hibited to the world, to those who hate and those who love us, our resources for defence and annoy ance, but that this is the winding up of a great war. We are but clumsy exhibitors by land ; the most costly pageant we can contrive degenerates to the tinsel dignity of a Lord Mayor's show ; but on the sea we are in our element ; the commonest regatta charms and excites us ; and grave states men watch and sour journalists chronicle the events of an Oxford and Cambridge boat-race with the same ease and interest as they would the disputes of two rival orators on the contending benches cf the House of Commons. Perhaps, as the perilous leaps at a fox-hunt or'a si'eeplechase give a piqu ance to those specially national amusements, the skill and presence of mind required in exhibitions on the sea exempt the slightest displays of this kind from the heavy and safe dignity of gilded coaches, furs, maces, flunkies, and hair-powder. But whatever may be the can=e, such is the fact— and the grandest of all naval sights which our sight loving and sea-loving countrymen can witness is reserved for Wednesday next. Happy the man that day " whose paternal acres" supply him—not as the Roman poet exclaims —he who called the ocean unsociable—with bread and a salad, but with something more substantial ; at least a peer's ticket for the privileged steamer, or a Minister's order for the narrow ac co mmodations of the Perseverance.

There being no Froprietary, however, those of the Assured who by the terms of their policies are entitled to participate in the Profls of the Society, are the only parties who derive benefit trom the rates being more than what are found from time to time to be required to meet the actual risks; arid the result of past allocations of Surplus Profits has been sub that in the case of all the earlier Policies, which have become claims within the last few years, the amounts paid to the representatives of deceased Memb,:rs have beeil MORE THAN DOUBLE THE SUMS ORIGINALLY ASSURED In cases where faml:y provision is the sale object this result cannot fall to be considerel as of the most satistactory nature • while in other instances where the part es are desirous or tiecuring.anent from the Surplus Payments DURING THEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowing the Bonus to remain an addition to the Assurance payable at death, the alternat:ves practicable under the laws of the office have been com mensurate in degree.

ROYAL SURREY GARDENS COMPANY, The first annual meeting of the shareholders in this company took place on Saturday at the King's Arms, New Palace-yard, Westminster; R. A. Slaney, Esq., in the awn Mr. W. ELLIS, the secretary, read the report, which stated that 3,094 shares having been paid upon, the com plete registration of the company with limited liability had been certified, and her Majesty had graciously given permission to adopt the present title of the company. The deed of settlement was signed by 123 shareholders, representing 3,023 shares, and there were 12 share holders, representing 71 shares, who had not yet signed the deed. The building, under the superintendence of Mr. Horace Jones, the architect, was almost ready to receive the roof ; the gardens had been thor-ughly drained, and the entire grounds had assumed a new aid improved aspect. The entire preparations hat been under taken by Mr. DAnson, whilst the mu-lea] director, Mons. Julien, was now on the C o niinentmaking arrangements for the coming season. The committee believed that the amount of capital contemplate d in the Pro Pectin would be sufficient, whilst the profits which had been calcu .ate'd to accrue were less than might really be reckoned upon. The report having been adoptA, The CHAIRMAN said that wheni Parliament he bad orociired the appi.intment of a ommittee of public w. rks ind gardens, and from Oise mnatttee suggestions had emanated for obtaining Victoria-park, Primrose hill, and other places fur the recreation of the people. The great increase of population ie the metropolis and in the large towns called for additional means of amuse ment and healthy recreation, and he therefore had great pleasure in giving his assistance to this undertaking, which he had no doubt would prove beneficial to the public and profitable to the shareholders. He thought, however, that it would be desirable to appropriate ens day in the week to the admission of the working classes at a red aced charge. The Chairman and Sir Henry Webb, Bart., were ap pointed trustees of the company. The committee of ma -agement were elected directors for the ensuing year, and a call was made of 4/. per share, payable by the let if May, This was unanimously agreed to by the share: holders present, and thanks having been voted to the committee of management andAto the chairman, the business terpaizated. „ 1~ DR.
