The orierinal capital of this Company, fixed at 230,0001., is bow reduced to 210,0001 ; and under the arrangements com pleted with the Eas'ern Counties Railway Company, is pracii rlY made a Fiv e p e r Cent. Stock in perpetuity, with the pro audit), Gran incroa,ed return in future years beyond that rate. An agreement has been concluded with the Eastern Counties Railway, and has received the sanction of their Shareholders at ° General Meeting, for Leasing this Line of Railway to that COM p ,-Pany, at a rent of 10,500/. per annum, for three years, and 11 ") 10 01. afterwards in perpetuity, with an equal division of the Railway t profits beyond that rent between the Eastern Counties t ilway Company and this Company. The prospects of traffic are such as to leave no doubt that the interest on the Capital tl!lnever be less than per cent., while there is great proba 11ty of th e annua l re t urn being considerably more. The con 'tactors have also been required to engage to pay out of the g aPital 5 per cent. interest on all moneys received by the Corn tt:Y. until the rent from the Eastern Counties Company shall otne payable. The estimate covers the construction of a single line to the Rater -side at Harwich, and the stations, and land, bridges, tlld culverts for a double line, and sufficient accommodation, Yan extensive jetty, for the traffic to and from the Railway °Ma l e sea ; and the Engineer has provided Contractors, with 71ponsible sureties, who have undertaken for this sum of t e° o o/. to execute the whole of these works , purchase all 2 land, and pay the Parliamentary, and preliminary, and , c ''ee expenses, engineering, surveying, and conveyancing, and r cent . on the calls paid during the constr.action of the ; n e se before-mentioned, and bear every contingency, so that "° excess of expenditure can possibly fall upon the Proprietors. The time occupied in travelling from London to Harwich °Y Railw ay w ill be three hours only ; and considering the ex "2lenee of that port, its accessibility in all weathers, and the , t 7Ple depth of w a ter for the largest steamers at all states of the I L 'ias there can b e no doubt that, while Harwich will regain all its form er high standing, as the Mail Packet Station of the %it Coast of England, the new convenience of a Railway , and t a f ,Pid transport to the metropolis, must attract a vast number 1/ Pessengers from the North of Europe generally, but more p a rticularly from Hamburgh, Holland, Belgium, and also from Vl° east of Scotland. A large quantity of fish, fruit, provisions, 'ight goods, and general merchandise may also be expected to P;tsa along this line and yield a considerable revenue.

The*pa - rtinental - service showed an increase of 100,985 f- -" l ll4e'+' depar.tment• of agriculture and commerce, not requiring to repeat the credit of 500,0001. for the exhibition o national in dustry, a saving in that department of 401,565 f. was effected. The department of public works presented an increase of 1,425,500 f., but that increase in reality amounted to 2,717,5001., and was, as may be easily perceived, only reduced to the former sum, in conse quence of a reduction of 1,070,0001. on the credit appropriated to rebuilding various bridges, and of another credit of 222,0001. on that of the Normal School. Whatever may have been the desire of the Government to avoid any increase, yet the above are so well justified, that they could not fail to be readily admitted. The expenses of this department:merited an exception, and the Govern ment felt satisfied that the consent of the Chamber would be given to the increase of the grant ; of 1,403,000 f. for the maintenance of royal roads ; of 600,000 f. for that of rivers, and particularly of the Rhone and the Rhine ; of 150,000 f. for sea-ports, and of 135,000 f. for keeping up buildings of public interest. The receipt and expenses of the carrying on the lines of railroad executed by the State had also been concluded. The war department, compared with 1844, showed a total reduction of 2,127,374 f. On the expenses connected with Algeria, an in crease of 1,516,2291. was demanded, viz., 500,000 f. for the expense attendant on colonisation; 315,0001. for roads ; 310,0001. for the support of convicts in the different workshops, and other objects. In the budget of the Marine important changes had been made. Instead of the former classification of ships, under the name of disponibilite de rade and commission de port, an intermediate class had been substituted, called commission de rade. Vessels belonging to this class would be provided with all their materiel, but would have less men than when in a state of disponibilite de rade, but more than when en commission de port. Their crews would consist of men who had hitherto been kept inactive on shore. This change would not only be favourable to the general in struction of the seamen, and leave a number of men available to the merchant-service, but would also ef fect a considerable saving to the State. The budget ofl 1844 contains a credit of 24,934,500 f. for the pay and clothing of the crews and the marines for an ef fective force of 160 vessels, including sixteen en disponsibilite de rade, and four en commission de port. A credit of 23,998,500 fr. would now suffice for 190 vessels,3o of which would be en disponibilite de rade, with a much larger number of steamers. The Minister of Marine demanded that the saving which he had effected by this ar rangement should turn to the benefit of the materiel of the navy. The state of the supply of stores in the arsenals bad been the object of too repeated and just complaints for the Chamber not to congratulate itself on seeing the grant of this branch of the service increased by nearly one million, with out adding to the general charges of the State. The other changes effected in the budget of the Marine nearly balanced each other, the difference consisting only in a diminution of 143,734 f. The principal augmentations applied to the military and civil officers ; 122,0001. were for the promotion of 100 enseignes de vaisseaux to the rank of lieutenant, and for indemnities for lodging paid to officers not em barked; for hospitals, 209,0001.; 111,000 f. paid for the freight of stores from one arsenal to another; and 547,2031. fbr the colonial service. The most important reductions were under the head of victualling, and for the colonial service. Under the former head was a sum of 457,192 f. in consequence of the change in the system of the classification of vessels, and under the latter 719,982 f., of which 143,0001. were in consequence of the advanced state of the works at Fort Bourbon. One chapter alone now remained to be mentioned as far as the Finance Department was concerned, viz., the expenses of the Treasury. It presented an increase of 70,000 f., in consequence of the development of the operations in Algeria. The expense of the rep, - ie and the . collection must increase in proportion to the amount of the productions, since it comprised a large sum by way of discount allowed on the receipts. Savings effected on some articles reduce for 1845 the increase to 227,9901. Amongst the numerous .charges included in this sum was an amount of 106,800 f. for the expenses incurred by the special agents of the direct taxes in fixing the duty on patentes in different parts of the country. The credit destined for the purchase of tobacco had been in creased 2,200,000 f. over the budget of 1844. Supple mentary credits had besides been opened on anterior budgets, and the Administration had been thereby enabled to profit by the fall in the price of Ame rican tobacco, to complete their reserve stock. This circumstance permitted the augmentation to be maintained at 1,200,0001. The continual in crease in the consumption rendered necessary consi derable expenses under the head of land labour, which reduced to 535,0001. the diminution effected under this head. Little remark was required on the extra ordinary service of the budget, which was divided into two parts—the expenses chargeable on the pro- June, 1842, had left vrovisionally to the charge of the floating debt. 'The credits, which in former years had been opened by anticipation to the Minister of Public Works, had exhausted some of the sums granted by the law of 25th June, 1841, and reduced his demands for 1845 to 22,311,344 f., consequently the total credit of the first part was but 62,431,344 f. That of the second part amounted only to thirty-four millions, and was the consequence of th e laws previously voted. The propositions which will be submitted relative to the railroads in the course of the session will tend to increase this amount. In pass ing to the examination of the receipts, it would be necessary to observe that the changes which they presented, compared with the estimates for 1844, proceeded from two causes : first, the increase of products during the last twelve months known at the time of the preparation of the budget, and which, according to custom, had served as the bases for the calculations; and secondly, the circumstances which would operate in 1845, but which did not in 1843, and which would exercise an influence on the results of the new budget. An increase of 2,475,000 f. had taken place in the receipts on the taxes on doors and windows, and on patentes; on the revenues and sale of domains, as estimated from the ordinary receipts of 1843, there was an increase of 1,163,060 f. An increase of 14,251,000 f. had arisen on the following indirect receipts, viz. : Registration dues, and stamps Customs Indirect taxes, tobacco, and gunpowder 2,864,000 But this increase has been reduced to 14,119,000 f. by a falling off of 138,000 f. in the receipts of the Post office. Another increase of 1,424,000 f. had arisen from the receipts of the University, of those of Algeria and the Colonies. The amount of the receipts for 1845, therefore showed an increase of 19,181,2801. The increase arising from circumstances connected with the estimate of 1845 amounted to 11,720,7151., and were as follows : 1. Suppression of the funds of non va lenrs by cessation of trade • • 2. Consequences of the law of July 2, 1843, on Sugars.. 3. Reduction from 5 per cent. to 3 per cent. on the sums allowed for waste on Salt 4. Probable results of the New Customs' F. 600,000 3,584,000 Ordonnance in Algeria 5. Produce of the carrying on the Northern Railroad 6. Purchase of Lands for Railroads 600,000 1,500,000 7. Increase of sums arising from labour 400,000 3,000,000 650,000 1,375,715 Total By uniting these two categories, a total of 30,940,945 f. was given. According, however, to the rules which had been adopted, a diminution of 1,922,783 f. was anticipated, the principal of which were 657,500 f. which the Commission on the Budget of last 27ear had added to the produce of the forests ; 514,000 f. for the increase in value added to the budget of 1844, in the valuation of indirect produc • tion, in consequence of circumstances connected with that estimate, and which could not be again brought into the budget of 1845 ; 284,173 f. for the non reproduction of the provisions in the budget of 1844, and of sums to be received from the railroad compa nies, the realisation of which could not take place in 1845. These different items reduced the excess of the receipts to 28,988,162 f., on deducting from which an increase of expense above stated of 741,892 f., showed an improvement in the budget of 1845, com pared with that of 1844, of 28,246,270 f. In making this comparison, it must be remarked that there are included not only the credits comprised in the vote of the budget of 1844, in which there was a presumed ex cess of expenses of 24,947,836 f.; but also the credits opened by three special Bills in the course of the ses sion, which had added to that excess a sum of 2,480,000 f., and had raised it to 27,427,836 f. This sum was less than that of the increase stated in the estimate of 1845 by 818,134 f. It was in fact, to this last figure, that arose, according to the proposi tions of the Government, the excess of the receipts of the budget of 1845, the resources of which amounted to 1,276,925,231 f., and the expenses to 1,276,106,79 7 f. It only remained for him to make mention of the various articles comprised in the budget of receipts. t T i o h n e ofmost Art. 2 p o o r f t a t n h t e b w n e d r g e e c t o o n f n ected 1842. w i ß t h y Th e e e termsth of that article, it was in this session that new plans were made for levying in the departments both the personal and an d windows. prop e r t tir,oeffect contributions, this, theh e and doors Government had only at its disposal the returns made in compli ance with the Wets of April 21, 1832, July 14, 1838, and the census of 1841. ,The two first-mentioned Acts r h e a t d ur b n e s e n w a e l r l e o wed ordered • tobei n s u inlB ffi 4 c l i . e t and he C a h n a e m w b e set w ofas ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, loon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCUL.ATION,at ONE CIIARGE.

Some folks are, it seems, at a loss to conceive Why they ventur'd their own native country to leave. Many say 'twas to see the young Queen on her throne, And such is a likely opinion, we own ; But let us endeavour (for that will be best), To set the whole matter completely at rest. One reason, perhaps, why the foreigners came , Was to visit our wonderful houses of fame. Such a thing they would never have done, Had they not been induced by E. MOSES and SON. We have often asserted (and not in vain boast), That our fame is in many a far-distant coast ; And thus the Ojibbeway Indians heard Of the warehouse by which the whole world appears stirr'd And hence, with a high curiosity smitten, They, doubtless, determined on visiting Britain. Then success to the Indians 1 lasting success ! And may they be tempted to alter their " dress." Our clothing is made on a much better plan, And will do them more service than their garments can. And thus will they profit by what they have done In coming to visit E. MOSES and SON. READY MADE. £ S.

Moses and Son regret being obliged to guard the public against imposition, as they learn that the untrades manlike falsehood of being connected with them, or it's the same concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING 01' JAN.I2. The President took the chair at two o'clock. The President read a letter from M. Teste, tender ing his resignation for the arrondissement of Apt (Vaucluse). The order of the day was the reading of the Address. The President, amidst the deepest silence, read as follows :—" Sire—The union existing between the great bodies of the State, and the loyal concurrence which the Chamber has given to your Government, have upheld and strengthened public tranquillity. The ascendancy of the laws, aided by the intelligence and good sense of the country, has everywhere proved sufficient to maintain order at home. Commerce and industry each day make a more rapid stride.— (Marks of dissent on the Left.) Agriculture, which has need of being encouraged in its progress and its efforts, relies on the solicitude of the Government. — (Renewed murmurs on the Left.) Information and comfort, diffused snore equally through all ranks of society, are improving and elevating the condition of the inhabitants. Such, Sire, is France, as she has become under your reign, by the regular develop ment of the institutions which she has given herself; and we behold, with a lively gratitude towards Provi dence, the prosperity which our country enjoys. " We learn with the greatest satisfaction that the effects of this general prosperity permit a balance to be re-established between the expenditure and the revenue in the financial bills which are to be pre sented to us. 'We shall endeavour, by wise economy to consolidate this equilibrium so justly desired. " We congratulate your Majesty on the pacific na ture of our relations with foreign Powers. The peace of Europe gains strength by its very continuance—it is founded on the general interests of civilisation and the respect paid to existing treaties—to those treaties of which we claim the protection for an unfortunate nation, whom hope does not abandon, because she has faith in the justice of the cause.—(General appro bation.) " In Spain, Queen Isabella 11., who is the object of the affectionate solicitude of your Majesty, has just been called, although so young, to exercise the Royal power. In Greece, King Otho has drawn around him the represe n t a ti ves o f th e n ati on . I n those two countries, may royalty and public liberty derive new strength from their intimate alliance. We are de- lighted to learn that the . since;Tiriendsi;p which unites your Majesty to the Queen of Great Britain, and the accord of sentiments which exists between your Government and hers, relative to the events in Spain and Greece, confirm you, Sire, in the favour able hopes which are felt for the future prospects of those two nations allied to France. " This good intelligence will, without doubt, con. tribute to the success of the negotiations which, while they guarantee the repression of an infamous traffic, ought to tend to again place our commerce under the exclusive surveillance of our own flag. " Your Majesty announces that you have con cluded treaties of commerce with the King of Sar dinia, and the Republics of the Equator and of Vene zuela, and that you are engaged in negotiations with other States in various parts of the world. We hope, Sire, that those treaties and negotiations, whilst they maintain to national labour the protection that its state demands, will open a wider career to the intelli gent activity of the country. " We shall examine with care the measures neces sary for the execution of railroads and various other public works. We hail with eagerness the assurance that the Bill which is to be presented to us on secondary instruction will, by satisfying the wishes of the Charter relative to liberty of instruction, main tain the authority and influence of the State over public education. "A young Princess, sister of the Emperor of Brazil and of the Queen of Portugal, has taken a place in the midst of your family, and we share in the satis faction felt by your Majesty in a marriage which assures the happiness of one of your sons, and adds to the consolations that God has reserved to you. " We are pleased to hope, Sire, that our rule in Algeria will soon be general and tranquil, and that, thanks to our perseverance, we are near the attain ment of our object, and on the point of finding, in the accomplishment of our work, and in the dimi nution of our sacrifices, the price of our efforts. We unite with your Majesty in thanking, in the name of the country, the chiefs, and the soldiers of that brave army, who are never weary either of the fatigues of war, or of the labours of peace. Among the chiefs of that army, we are proud to number one of your sons, whom we are accustomed to see in every point where France has either danger to en counter, or glory to obtain. " Yes, Sire, your family is truly national ; between France and you the alliance is indissoluble. Your oaths and ours have cemented that union.. The rights of your dynasty, remain placed under the imperish able guarantee of the independence and loyalty of the nation. The public feeling brands with reprobation gui!ty manifestations.—(Numerous marks of appro•• hation.) Our Revolution of July, in punishing the violation of sworn faith, has consecrated amongst us the sanctity of an oath."—(Loud marks of assent.) THE BUDGET. The Minister of Finance, after having presented Bills for the allocation of the extraordinary and sup plementary credits of 1843 and 1844, and of the closed estimates, brought forward the budget for 1845. For some years past, he said, the Government had been obliged to depart from the principles which, in ordinary times, ought to direct the administration of finances. The income of the State had been below its expenditure. Had they followed the example of a neighbouring country, and permanently omit ted putting down the sum annually applied for clearing off the public debt, and had there seen consecrated to that purpose only the eventual excess of the receipts over the expenses, a balance would have been attained long since. But not only did the constantly increasing elevation of the public funds oblige the Government to suspend the action of a considerable share of the sinking fund, but the faith due to engagements previously entered into, and the enactments of the financial code, imposed it on them as a duty, to reckon this expense amongst those various expenses which ought to be disposed of with the ordinary revenues of the country. Besides, the unemployed funds had received a special allocation, and the balance would not be a sincere one which would leave them involved either in totality or in part. It was not alone the pre-existing debt that was to be included in the usual budgets, but the interest of the sums expended in the great public works were to be successively added to it, whether they were due to the sinking fund, or to the creditors of the floating debt. From this there arose each year a new expense which rendered the final arrange ment and equilibrium more difficult. Yet the ambition of the Government—as it was their duty—was to bring this abnormal state of things to a close as speedily as possible. If in 1844 they had resigned themselves to still remain as they were, it was because they were allowed to anticipate the period when a balance would be attained. The Chamber was already aware that the provisions of the Government had not been erro neous. They had been able to obtain for 1845 a ba lance in the receipts over the expenditure—and that without in any way going out of the regular course of things—without any increase of burdens to the public, or any postponement of useful and necessary expenses. The credits given, in the budget which he was about to have the honour of laying before the Chamber, were calculated with the same exactitude as that for 1844 ; and certain departments, which ex perience had proved to be insufficiently provided for, were to receive a necessary addition of' funds. The means by which this result of obtaining a surplus had been effected, were simply 'the augmenta tion of indirect produce—the resources arising from the careful enforcement of the laws—and the savings which a severe examination had produced in certain departments of the public service. These means were sufficient to provide for the augmentations which he alluded to above, and to fill up the chasm of about 28 millions which were required to constitute an equili brium. Before entering on the details of the budget for 1845, he should briefly enumerate the deffciencies that had existed in the last few years. His prede cessor, in bringing, forward his financial statement for 1843, had estimated the deficiences of the estimates fur 1840, 1841, and 1842, at 372,443,207 f. Last year the deficiency of the four estimates, from 1840 to 1843 inclusively, were valued at 371,609,0721., and at present they found that the whole deficiency for the five years, from 1840 to 1844 inclusively, was on ly 360,616,2391. The estimates of 1843 and 1844 being down for 94 millions in this result, there was definitively an amelioration of 106 millions on the other three estimates. As this situation was capable of still further amelioration, it ought not to excite asto nishment if he declared, with still greater confidence than last year, that after 1846 the reserves of the sinking fund would be disposable for the great public works. It was even possible that a part of the re serve of 1846 itself might be so employed. On January 1, 1845, the reserves of the years 1842, 1843, and 1844 would have been realised. They would amount to 209,974,9741., and the arrears of the five years' emt;.,...1. debt only for 151,301,265 f. That debt—charged in addition to the old deficiencies, which, as he had stated, amounted to 256,029,250 E—with the aid of the constant anticipations of the excess of each year's estimates over the expenses, was also to provide for the excess of the expenses of the great public works over the part of the loan already issued, and for the expenses of the railroads described by the bill of June 11, 1842. The year 1842 had not imposed any charge in this respect, the expense of the public works having amounted to only 74,705,111 E, leaving a bas lance of 294,8891., from the 75 millions allowed out of the 150 millions that had been realised of the loan. As the credit of 75 millions had been increased by a special law by the sum of 14,800,000 f., the portion of the unemployed credit which is to be added to the estimates for the year 1843 amounted in the whole to 15,094,889 f. The sum paid for railroads had been only 1,364,5081., leaving to be disposed of in 1843 14,135,492 f. The result of that year's esti mates could not yet be exactly ascertained, but he should not be much wrong were he to value at 118 or 119 millions the expenses of public works to be paid out of the loan—expenses which, put down in the budget for 75 millions, were increased by the sums brought forward from 1842 by credits granted by special laws. The expenses of railroads were, he supposed, about 39,500,0001. Subtraction being then made of the 75,294,889 f. imputable to the first third of the loan, there remained about 80 millions to be paid by the floating debt, and recoverable : one half from the other portion of the loan not yet ne gotiated, and the other half from the reserves of the sinking fund, which were to be disposable after the payment of the deficiencies of the ordinary budgets. Not only was it easy to provide for all those de mands with the customary resources of the floating debt ; but when last year they dropped a hint of a slight rise in the interest of Treasury Bonds, as a means of remaining masters of the moment in the negotiation of the loan, they had been obliged speedily to lower the rate of that interest, to prevent the assets from rising to an exaggerated rate, to the detriment both of the circulation and of the Treasury. They had also reduced the advances of the Receivers general, as much as the prudence which ought always to be observed in such matters would permit. Those measures had produced the effect which was expected, and, nevertheless the assets of the Treasury had remained more than sufficient to ward against all eventualities to such circumstances. It had appeared to the Government opportune—and they hoped that the Chamber would now approve of their decision—not to make use, during the year that had just finished, of the faculty which the law accorded them, of issuing the whole or part of the other two thirds of the loan. They had judged it preferable to allow the first to class itself definitively and public credit to gain strength. They could do so without danger, since the situation of the country allowed them to announce, as they had done last year, that whilst they reserved to themselves the right of profit ing by circumstances, they held themselves fully at liberty to wait for a favourable moment for negotia ting the remainder of the loan. He now came to the budget of 1845, of the different dispositions of which he would give a summary, and would begin with the ordinary servica. An augmentation of 2,749,532 f., applicable to the Three per Cents., was caused by the consolidation of the bonds of the sinking fund. As they were unable to fix beforehand the period for the issue of a new series of the loan, and the nature of the funds in which it would be issued, it has been decided on to provide for the service from the resources of the floating debt, and an increase of 1,500,000 f. on the interest of that debt was proposed. In consideration of the advantages secured by the law of 28th April to all the holders of transferable offices, it is proposed to fix at 3 per cent. the interest of the caution money of that class of of fices. This will produce a saving of 800,000 f. The calculation of probable extinctions showed a diminu tion of 1,440,0001. in the payment of life annuities. A saving of 286,050 f. had been effected in the allow ances to members of the Legions of Honour. A saving of 22,500 f. had been effected in the budget of the de partment of justice. That of public worship showed an increase of 136,4001., caused principally by the creation of fresh chapels of ease, and the salaries to Protestant clergymen. The budget of foreign affairs presented an increase of 144,1001., of which 30,000 f. was devoted to bring up to 200,000 f. the credit for extraordinary missions. The credits demanded by the Minister of Public Instruction exceeded those of 1844 by 205,4001., 91,000 f. of which were provided for in the budget of receipts ; the surplus was in tended for the creation of two inspectors-general, the establishment of new professorships, the crea tion of two new royal colleges, and the increase of the rent of the building occupied by the Royal Aca demy of Medicine. The department of the Interior gave a decrease of 300,0001. on the allowance of foreign refugees but an addition of 50,000 E for the J. CALLOTT.

GRAVESEND, ROCHESTER, and CHAT IIAM RAILWAY.—The Corporation of Gravesend having stated by public Advertisement that the TITLE given to this undertaking is calculated to MISLEAD, I beg to deny that assertion. The prospectus issued by the Provisional Com mittee clearly defines the Course and Terminus of the Road at Rosherville, which Terminus was selected, after much consitle tion, as cheapest and best for the public, because passengers landing at Rosherville would be half-way to Chatham, before passengers by the same boat could get landed at the Terrace Pier on a flood tide.
