This Company being now completely registered, the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a statement of its progress ant prospects. It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought before the public with equal prospect of speedy and successful results. The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure an enormous dividend within a few months. Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors for carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained' by him tiering situ period. The instructions given to Sir Henry Hunt ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country. the tenure of land, the com parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts of California, and after , mature deliberation to advise the Directors as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measures as would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible. Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of the Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; hut he is clearly of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to und4r take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to be supplied by those who are possessed of mines, and have raised the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great experience is geology and mining matters, he has inspected and tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion, upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car rying on our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company, and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass:Valley and Nevada Cite, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mine opened by them. By means of machinery, he has already cm hod and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup plied him from this mine; and the is salt of his operations has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average richness, and that the locality oilers many important advantages in the way of water, fuel, means of transit, Ste., &c. He has, there fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in a few words, amounts to this: he is to be supplied by them with as much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing; the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ; he gold crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and he produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements for carrying out the above arrangement fairly and honestly, and without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day, with fundssufficient for putting it in motion, have been plac under the control su of Sir Henry Huntley ; and, unless some unexpected delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a return will be made about Christmas next. For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company, and without wishing, in any manlier, to deteriorate from the merits of other Companies, the Directors ate desirous of calling attention to some of the more protninent advantages possessed by this Com pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies must mainly rely up al reports sent over by persons interested in selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other Companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon calculations founded on excerhnents upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to tke British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations upon their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should their labours prove •successful, they must then pay out of their profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz as our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure or as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-centage royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact ' merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex- I pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out th e ir schemes—this Company alo ne is actuall y at work. The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,000/. An almost certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford a dividend of 2 00 per cent. , at the least, within the next twelve I months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 11. 17s. 41. per cwt., or 371. Gs. Bd. per ton • and, as we can crush and ama lgamate at least 20 tons per diem, would amount to 7461. 13s. 41, or 3731. 6s. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company. By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling. In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations of their own, arrangements have been made securing four distinct sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who went out with him, and who have voluntarily rote ndered him their services. The gentlemen who formed the, Provisional Committee of this Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the Dire story was due to those Shareholders who have in fact estab lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special General Meet ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January.S In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer their received an best thanks d to the Shareholders or the uniform support they have they pledge themselves that the affairs of this Company shall be con ducted with the most rigid eco hnomy, areholders and with the sole view of for warding the interest of the S. The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particular* to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district the tract select cla i ed for the operations of this Company is far removed fromclaimed by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arising out of the many points now raised relative to the tenure of land underr leashavi es, had the been control long known to and was maturely cons idered by se ng of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful resul. The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve of the prudence of the course they have adopted. Prospectuses .may be had upon application at the offices of the Company. PARIS IN A STATE OF SIEGE. THE ASSEMBLY DISMISSED. General Officers, the Leaders of Party, arrested and sent to Prison, the Council of State Dissolved, and Louis Napoleon its Dictator. This astounding intelligence, transmitted from Paris in a few minutes, nearly frightened London from its propriety on Tues day last, ye Strom all we can lean the President completely followed the example set in the British metropolis years ago, even to the close, for when he had effected the mighty change he appealed to the people, whose support alone he craved. The change to which we refer was that which in forty-eight hours was accomplished by E. MOSES and SON. The monopolists were more formidable than the General Assembly, and they were not without leaders, but Messrs. E. MOSES and SONS crushed them at once by lowering the price of a man's clothes fifty per cent., and appealing to the people. What was the result? The extortion and wrong doings of those they displaced wa s apparent, and the people exulted in the change. They gladly seized upon the benefits extended to them, and supported the firm. Every . man in the kingdom is now at liberty to buy for himsel f and his family better clothes than they ever bad before, and at less than half price; let any one, if indeed there be any, who doubts this, inspect the present unrivalled stock of Winter Clothing at the Monarch Mart in Aldgate and the Minories, or their Grand West-end Branch Establishment in New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street, ?vilere everything of the newest and neatest and best is marked with its prices, and they will doubt no longer.

The Sanitary Commissioners say the present supply there is " wholly unfit for use, and is highly dangerous to the health of the persons who drink it." The Company has for its object the supply of pure water at con stant and high service, and has received the most cordial support from the proprietors, ratepayers, and inhabitants in general of this large district, evidenced by their numerous petitions and by the re solutions of public bodies, such as the Quarter Sessions, the District Board of Health, &c. It has long been known that the Wandle water is the purest of any within practicable distance of the Metropolis (see the public evidence taken before the Committees of the House of CJrnmons.) From this source a minimum supply of 27,000,000 of gallons daily can be ob tained without injury to any one. The present supply of Thames water is about 9,000,000. The Company, either through the instrumentality of the existing Companies, or by paroehial or other public bodies, or their own means, will be able to send " unintermittent streams of cool, fresh lucid water, sparkling and pure, up every ceart and alley, and to the very garrets of the meanest houses, at a very low rate of charge." And these essentials they can guarantee ; because, besides the ad mitted superiority of the Wandlo water, which in its natural state possesses a greater " freedom from putrescible organic matter," and from " discoloration," as well as greater " brightness, clearness, softness, and coolness," than any others, this Company's plaa com prises a complete system of Intercepting drainage to carry off the impurities of mills and houses—an origipal and perfect method of nitration (invented by Mr. F. P. Thodipson, the Engineer to the Company), to be applied in the grand reservoir itself, 160 feet above Trinity high water mark, whence it will flow in uninterrupted distribution by mere gravity to the thousands of buildings in the cistrict, in a state as cool and limpid as any well water—and lastly, because the Company apply by their Bill for a compulsory limitation of profits, so that the abuse of high charges will here be an impos sioillty, whilst there will be sufficient profit to afford a liberal remu neration to the shareholders. ------- The Thames water throughout contains sulphates and chlorides of some sort, and the water at Ditton, besides these, is impregnated with the sewerage of Hampton-court and other districts, compre hending a population of three-quarters of a million.

The following gentlemen were present on the occasion :—Mr. Mast , rman, M.P, Baron Lionel Rothschild, M.P., Sir J. Duke, 134 rt., M.P., Alderman Thompson, M.P., Mr. James Clay, M.P., Mr. Matthew Forster,.M.P., Alderman Hum phery, M.P., Mr. John MlGregor, M.P., Mr. T. A.

Walker, and Mr. G. Hurry. At one o'clock the deputation assembled at the Treasury, and were received by Lord J. Russell and Earl Granville. Mr. MASTERMAN, addressing the Noble Lords, observed, that the present interview had been sought for in consequence of certain resolutions adopted at a public meeting held in the city of London in the course of last week. He had had the honour to pre side over that meeting, and he thought he had never witnessed a more numerous or a more respectable as sembly. Nothing like political feeling intermingled in the proceedings ; the gentlemen present had long considered the great grievances suffered by merchants through the course pursued by the Customs Board, and had long wished for an alteration in some way, but the recent proceedings against the dock companies had rendered that feeling more intense; for, when public bodies could be so attacked, Hamada individuals fear that attacks would be made:on them. The deputation had not sought the present interview with the view of dictating any [particular measure to his Lordship (Lord John Russell), though his Lordship was aware of a report which had been adopted at a recent meet ing in•the city. How far that might meet his Lord ship's views it was not for him to say; but the main point.they had now to urge was that some change should take place, and that an assurance might be given that the Select Committee ou Customs of last year would be re-appointed.----(Eiear, hear.) Mr. TRAVERS, the chairman of the deputation, then read the following paper, entitled, " REPRESENTATION TO THE RIGHT LION. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, FIRST LORD OF HER MAJESTY'S TREA SURY, AND MEMBER FOR THE CITY OF LONDON, BY THE DEPUTATION, APPOINTED AT A PUBLIC MEETING FOR REFORM OF THE CUSTOMS, HELD AT THE LONDON TAVERN, DEC. 3, 1351. " The report and resolutions unanimously adopted at the public meeting from which this deputation derives its authority have been already laid ;before your Lord ship, and explain the reasons which have induced us to solicit the favour of this interview. " Whether for the purpose of further inquiry into the abuses and inefficiency of the Customs' department of the public service, or of proceeding at once to the recom mendation of complete remedial measures, the deputation have been commissioned to express the earnest desire of the commercial classes that the Select Committee of last session on the Customs should be reappointed at the earliest period after the reassembling of Parliament; and explicitly to ascertain the intentions of Government on this subject. We, therefore, take leave to solicit the favour of au intimation of your Lordship's determination in reference to the re-appointment of the Select Com mittee. " The deputation would be well contented here to close their duties. But they have been charged with a further commission, which, although, as involving re flections on individuals, they should have been glad to be relieved from the painful necessity of fulfilling, they regard as not less imperative upon them than important in its own results. " We have been desired emphatically to express the great dissatisfaction experienced by the mercantile body with that department of your Lordship's Government which directs the administration of the Custom-house system. " When the merchant complains to the officers charged with the collection of foreign revenue of irksome re strictions, useless forms, improper detentions, or unjust seizures, the latter plead in justification of their seta a Board's order, or the letter of the law. When the party aggrieved appeals to the Board, that tribunal refers to the obligation of the Acts of Parliament as its warrant, or to the want of power to dispense with the requisitions of statutes, the provisions of the tariff, or the absence of a discretionary faculty as its excuse, and throws the responsibility on the Treasury, as the sole depository of discretionary powers in the last resort to grant dispen sations from obviously unjust regulations, or oppressive applications of the law. The public are thus induced to regard the Govern ment as ultimately responsible for the abuses of which they complain, either by a misapplication of the powers it possesses, or by negle c ti ng to ap ply to Parliament for the ability to introduc e suc h re f orms a s it never re fuses to the reasonable r e p resentat i ons o f an Adminis tration in which it reposes confidence. "Regarding the Treasury as the head of the whole revenue branch of the public service, we are instructed to charge it upon that department— " 1. That the:Board of Customs,of which it is, or ought to be, the master, is generally inefficient and incompe tent; and that it has been suffered to regulate its own time and attendance on its public duties, and to neglect the recommendations of successive Commissions, and even the instructions of the Treasury. "2. That no improvement has been adopted in the system of appointments, either of commissioners or in ferior officers, so as to secure to the public the benefits of a competent administration of the system. "3. That the Commissioners are inaccessible, their proceedings conducted in secret, the official representa tions on which they decide concealed from the parties they affect, and that their acts are therefore altogether removed from accountability to the public. "4. That their responsibility even to their superiors is rendered practically a dead letter, inasmuch as an appeal from the Board results only in a reference to the very tribunal from whose decision the appeal is made. " 5. That the very fact of the co-existence of a Trea sury Commission and Parliamentary Committee to in quire into and remove the acknowledged abuses of the department is substantially an evidence of the general conviction of the necessity of delegating to other parties the duties which properly devolve on the Trea sury,annsde q o u f e n i interpos i ng p o o f s tli consequ e nces are caused solely by th e want of a proper super tnagne to neglect, or to remove complaints exercise its functions to avert super vision of its officers. On r e f err i ng to the twe l ve heads of measures of reform sug geste d i n the repor t a d o pted by the public meeting, it may be seen that many of them might have been carried into effect by the simple execu tion of the authority of the Treasury; and that, with regard to such as required the interposition of Parlia ment, to that department of the Government must be attributed the omission or refusal to propose the neces sary measure for affecting the desired alteration. ,“ 6. While many examples have been forwarded to the Committee, duly authenticated, tion of the Customs' .Department,of gross maladministra the deputation confine themselves to circumstances judicially recorded or re portsd to the Legislature, and therefore known to your Lordship, for the justification of the public meeting in committing to this deputation the painful duty they now discharge. From the proceedings connected with the pros: cutions at the instance of the Crown against the London and St. Katherine Dock Companies, the follow ing conclusions are but too plainly deducible " 1. That if the acts charged against these companies have been illegal, indictable, and fraudulent, they have been practised for many years with the sanction and concurrence of that Board which now charges these acts upon them as highly penal offences. "2. That if the 'nominal fines' accepted by Govern ment as a compromise satisfy the justice of the ease against the Dock Companies, the prosecutions were totally without excuse; while if the counts of the indict ments, and especially the charge of the then Solicitor- General, were true, the withdrawal of the several pro secutions cannot easily be distinguished from compound ing of felony. " 3. That the attempt of the solicitor of the Customs to withhold from the accused before trial all information of the particulars of the offences charged aga i ns t t h em , which brought down upon t he p rosec utors the marked animadversion of the Court o f Exche qu e r , and the sub sequent endeavour to ignore t he j udicato ry chosen by the Crown, and to heap.costs on the defendants by moving for a new trial, are signal examples of abuse of powers, and perversions of the fi rst principles of j u stice for which no plea of public exigency could afford even a feeble palliation. "4. That while the first case and clearest dut y of Government is to support a nd res p ect our g reat na tional institutions, the un measured accusations and in temperate language by wh ich the London Dock Com pany by the publ i c o f ficers were cal culated to create the utmost alarm amon g our forei g n consignors for the safety of their property, to degrade has been assa iled the high estimation entertained abroad of the character of our merchants, and materially to affect our commerce ; B aron, while the charge of the Chief and the verdict of jury, have proved such charges s po ex ressed to have cation. been not merely untrue, but wlthout reasonable justifi- "5. That the means adopted to compel the submission and consummate the humiliation of the Dock Companies have been oven more discreditable than the end; having been pursued by secretly taking the servants of the companies into the pay of the Crown; by the suborna tion of witnesses in the shape of subsistence money, and corrupt promises of future provision or employment; by converting the servants of great mercantile institutions into spies, to the subversion of all discipline and fidelity; by settling public offimrs to the chief customers of the companies, to whisper away their character and destroy their trade; and by perverting the public money to the corruption of sixty-two dock servants, who for the pur poses of the prosecution ageinet their employers were taken into the pay of the Executive. "6. By practically ignoring the existence of the Select Committee to whom the cases of tho lbek Com panies were expressly referred by the Ileum of Com mons, by giving fresh notices of trial in some cases, and otherwise keeping alive 120 actions simultaneously, pending a Parliamentary investigation; thus piling ac tion upon action, cost upon cost, and ne upon penalty, to the extent of upwards 150,0001.; and concluding by the acceptance of two pitiful nominal mulcts of 10/., to the outrage of public justice ; and at the risk of bringing our tribunals into contempt, by misapplying their legiti mate functions to the purposes of oppression. " 7. By the arrest and arraignment of the most valued officers of the companies, and the incarceration of some of their servants and labourers in their casual employ ment, on charges of smuggling and felony, without any justification whatever, and on utterly futile pretences, by removing the trials from the Central Criminal Court to the Queen's Bench; by wantonly withdrawing the re cord on the very day of trial, at an oppressive cost to the defendants; by keeping these charges of felony, in volving penalties of upwards of 98,000/. suspended inde finitely over their heads, at the same time refining either to substantiate or abandon them, and then having com promised the prosecutions against their employers by ultimately retracting, without assigning reason, criminal charges proved to have been preferred without cause. " Such is the abuse of unconstitutional powers, for the exercise of which the Treasury is held by the public responsible to Parliament. That it has not erred in ig norance or neglected its duty from not knowing it is but too certain. If it is not the author, it has been at least the abettor of these scandalous proceedings, and tempe rate and friendly remonstrance against such unheard of acts has, we regret to say, been received by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer with disregard, and dismissed with discourtesy. He has persevered in the infliction of wrong until its very enormity has alarmed its victims into submission. He has broken the conditions on the honourable understanding of which technical legal ad missions were drawn from the London Dock Company, which rendered further resistance impracticable, and finally, ho has concluded the negotiation by a gross misrepresentation of the concessions of the company, and by. putting a construction upon their words which is en tirely negatived by the correspondence. "On these and other grounds we have been instructed to press upon your Lordship the necessity of recom mending the re-appointment of the Select Committee, in the view of promoting the reforms recommended in the report adopted by the public meeting from which we are deputed, and of convoying to your Lordship the expres sion of the deep and general dissatisfaction entertained by the commercial classes with the administration of the fiscal department of your Government. " By order and in name of the deputation, "J. J. FRANCIS, Chairman. " ROBERT WIGRAM CRAWFORD, Deputy Chairman." Lord J. RUSSELL next addressed the deputation. Ile said, that of course the deputation would not ex pect, in respect to those grave charges, which doubt less they had maturely considered, which they had prepared and written down, that he should be at the moment ready to give them any reply one way or the other. The matter itself, as concerned the Board of Customs and the Treasury, was one which he ad mitted to be of the deepest importance. The Govern ment was not insensible to the importance of making alterations with respect to the department which was charged with the collection of so great a portion of the revenue, a duty which ought to be performed with as little vexatious interference as possible with the lawful pursuits of commerce—(Hear, hear) — and with that view his Ndble Friend Lord Granville was appointed, with other official gentlemen, to in quire on the subject. At a later period a committee was appointed by the House of Commons, and he might here remark, that though it has been repre sented that the Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed the appointment of that Committee, the fact was, that as far as referred to the general administration of the Customs' department, his Right Hon. Friend did not offer any opposition to the appointment of the Committee, but he did state, that with respect to questions pending in a court of law, he was doubtful whether they could be referred to a Committee of the House. In that respect the Chancellor of the Exche quer merely repeated what was stated some twenty or thirty times every session, whenever such a question was raised. It was to be observed, how ever, that this Customs' department, and the laws of the Customs, faulty as the deputation might find them, and admitting, no doubt, of improvement, had been framed by very able men, who had presided at the Treasury from time to time; and he recollected Mr. Huskisson—a man by no means incapable of un derstanding the subject, or unfit to be intrusted with the framing of legislative measures connected with it,—saying, with a boast in the House of Commons, while holding up a volume in his hand, that he had reformed the laws of the Customs. Still, he (Lord J. Russell) did not deny that great improvement might be made with respect to those laws and in the construction (we understood) of the department. With respect to the present Board, it so happened that during the five years he had been at the head of the Treasury no appointment of a Commissioner of Customs had been made by him. The Board now ruling that department was the same as he found ex isting when he came into office five years back, and the only gentleman he had appointed to a high office was Mr. Pressley, a gentleman well qualified from his knowledge to fill the situation. Therefore, with respect to this particular Board of Customs, he could have no prejudice one way or other. At the same time, on looking at these grave charges, he was bound to act justly, and not to suppose immediately that the Board of Customs was guilty because it was accused, but to inquire into the facts. Without en tering into minute particulars of the prosecutions re ferred to, he would say generally that it did not follow that because very respectable men belonged to the Dock Companies in question, therefore frauds had no t occurre d th roug h the agency of parties in their employment. The Board of Customs, rightly or wrongly, had a contrary conviction. It was known that of late years with respect to the office of the Controllership of the Exchequer, and with respect to the department of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, there had been persons found guilty of frauds without any guilt or blame attaching to the persons at the head of those depart ments. It could hardly then be said, because the Dock Companies were composed of respectable men, that therefore it was impossible for any irregularities to be discovered in reference to the officers under their controul. The Board ,of Customs were persuaded of the existence of frauds to a very great extent--4 might be wrongly or not—but they made that repre sentation to the Treasury, and it would have been a grave responsibility for the Treasury and for him, the representative of the city of London, to take on them selves to say, that though the Board of Customs were persuaded that the revenue was defrauded, and ad vised proceedings in a court of law, they, the Trea sury, would prevent that proceeding and allow the revenue to be a loser, and the general body of the merchants of London to be wronged. This was his feeling, and the feeling of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, when they were on a former occasion in duced to put a stop to the proceedings at law, and when they found that the Board of Customs had no doubt on the subject. With respect to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was stated in the " representa tion" that " Temperate and friendly remonstrance against such unheard of Acts has, we regret to say, been received by the Chancellor of the Exchequer with disregard, and dismissed with discourtesy. He has persevered in the in fliction of wrong until its very enormity has alarmed its victims into submission." He (Lord J. Russell) could not admit the justice of those complaints. He thought that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was bound not to interfere with the course recommended by the Board of Customs. Again, it was stated that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer " Has broken the conditions on the honourable under standing of which technical legal admissions were drawn from the London Dock Company, and rendered further resistance impracticable, and, finally, ho has concluded the negotiation by a gross representation of the couces aims of the company, and by putting a construction upon their words which is entirely negatived by the correspondence." He (Lord J. Russell) did not perfectly well know what that alluded to, but there was an allegation that the Dock Companies were ready to pay a 51. fine but that it was raised to 1001. The representation which was made to him was, that when something of this kind occurred in 1817 and 1818 there was some such small fine paid and all die expenses of the suit. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, how ever, that it would be better to get rid of the matter altogether, and, instead of the 51. fine and all expenses, - which would tend to keep up subjects of irritation, it would be better to take 1001. fine at once. Whether the fine were Si. or 1001., he did not see that it was a matter of import ance to the Treasury ; and be did not think that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was liable to the charge made against him. With respect to the general statement, that the Board of Customs must have been wrong in their or i g i nal char ges, or else they ought not to have agreed to a con,tpromisevtbe gentlemen [PRICE SDO present must be aware that, boards, prosecutions were and overagain, on the i nstitutedpaymentf and given up over wh o some fine or the mak ing some acknowledgment. er this . was accord ing, to strict justice was a matter e th with respect . to revenue but there were innumerable Customs next session, he was e,irtanewt' precedents fur such . a proceeding. With regard to the of the re-appointment of the sevie,r.y lin porta•nt point Committee on lute objection to it—(hear) —bathe blase wniou d out pledge himself to that course at the present should first like to communicate with °t°llent' for he ineaiiiii of that Committee, and confer with hiur ehrespecting i the advantages of its re-appointment. _could assure the deputation that the whole subject should receive his impartial consideration, and any shmid measures ,. which, while securing the revenue, would great facilities to the dock companies and the in i ' lve er chants generally, would meet with his strenuous sup port.—( Hear.) Mr. Alderman Timairsoie admitted the possibility of irregularities occurring in great establishments like the dock companies; but what those companies complained of was, that when these charges were made against them, and they made application for a joint inquiry, their overture received a decided and discourteous negative from the Board of Customs.— (Hear, hear.) He then referred to the manner in which the dock companies had been treated, the numerous informations filed against them, and ob served that the whole circumstances had created a deep impression and alarm in the City, where it was not thought that the Board of Customs had treated British merchants as they ought to be treated. Mr. PowLEs, secretary to the London Dock Com pany, observed that the charge of the want of good faith rested on this fact, that upon a certain under standing a certain letter was written, and afterwards i atnr'elgolhft be e l n: . 4 te d ' the understanding was broken.—(Hear, hear.) The nominal fine of 51. was increased to 100/., besides the expenses (10,0001.) incurred in law, and the circum stances of the case, which occurred some years ago, and which had been referred- to by Lord J. Russell, were not at all of a nature to warrant the proceedings which had been adopted in the present instance. He then detailed the communications which had passed between the London Dock Company and the Go vernment authorities, observing that he did so for the purpose of showing that the object of the company was always peace, and not litigation and strife. The Board of Customs never gave them the particulars of one single case of delinquency against their servants, and when they got into the Court of Exchequer the Board opposed the application made for particulars, without which it was impossible to connect the parti cular case with the particular goods. The Court of Exchequer overruled the objection, observing that it was not to be tolerated that British subjects should be dragged into a court of justice without being informed of the cause of trial.-- (Hear, hear.) Mr. MITCHELL said, that considering the onerous duties which occupied the time of the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell), he could not venture to ask him now to read the evidence collected by the Customs' Committee, but he trusted that the Noble Earl (Earl Granville),in whom they all had such confidence, would peruse that evidence, which would be shortly printed. The conclusion to be drawn from that evidence was, that the Commissioners of Customs had grossly abused their powers. Nothing would give him greater pleasure than to see the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) bring forward a Bill for the reform of the Customs. It would be far better for the Noble Lord to take the initiative than Any committee, but, if nothing was done, the commercial community would not be satis fied.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the re-apppoint ment of the Select Committee, he, as its late chair man, held himself entirely at his Lordship's disposal. After some observations from Mr. M. CLARKE and Mr. W. J. HALL, the latter of whom stated that through the vexatious course pursued by the Customs, he had lost upon some chests of tea, about 10,0001., and who expressed hi s h ope that, before the deputa tion left, they would obtain an assurance that the Select Committee of last session should be re-ap pointed, Mr. MASTERMAN trusted that the deputation would rest satisfied with what his Lordship had said on that point.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. W. J. HALL, then said he should like, at least, to have an assurance that his ease would be looked into. Lord J. RUSSELL said he was not acquainted wi'h the case, and therefore it would not be prudent for him to give any answer on the subject. The deputation then -withdrew. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. As soon as the doors were opened yesterday morn ing a great crowd of spectators, wbo had previously assembled in front of the bazaar, entered the exhibi tion, and from nine o'clock in the morning up to ten o'clock last night there was a continual succession of visitors, the number being greater than on any pre vious " first day" since the show has occupied its present capacious quarters. At one o'clock the annual meeting of the members of the club took place in the committee-room. The Duke of Richmond occupied the chair, and was sup ported by the Earl of Leicester, Lord Berners, Col. Sibthorp, M.P., Sir Matthew Pell, Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, G - eneral•Wemyss, Mr. Barker, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, and many of the principal graziers and breeders belonging to the club. About sixty gentlemen were present. The judges' awards for the present year having been confirmed, the Duke of Richmond was unanimously re-elected president of the club. The Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Aboyne, the Earl of Yarborough, the Earl Spencer, and Mr. Philip Pusey, were elected vice-presidents; and the follow ing gentlemen were appointed trustees of the club : The Duke of Richmond, Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, and Lord Portman. The formal business having been concluded, a discussion took place on the subject of a proposed change in the classification of the animals in future years. At the meeting held this time last year, a committee of members was appointed to take into consideration the advisability of showing the animals in distinct breeds, instead of, as heretofore, collectively. The report of this committee was re ceived, and after considerable deliberation, it was dee termined by a large majority that the chief recom mendation it contained should be adopted. In future, therefore, the cattle classes will be exhibited in the following sections :—Section 1, Devons ; section 2, Herefords ; section 3, short-horns; section 4, Scotch, Welsh, and Irish cattle ; section 5, other pure breeds ; section 6, mixed and cross breeds. The subdivision of these sections and classes, and the arrangement of the priz3s, had been carried out by the committee, but some minor points of difference having occurred, this portion of the report was referred back to them, and their recommendations upon it will be received at the meeting of the committee to be held to-morrow at the bazaar. Several new members having been admitted, the final arrangements for the annual din ner, at Freemasons' Tavern, to-morrow, were com pleted, and the meeting broke up. The sale of stock was remarkably brisk throughout the whole of yesterday. Those feeders who were content to deal at moderate prices found buyers, but where the prices ruled high there was no disposition to close bargains. The best ox, to which the gold medal, with a prize of 301., and a silver medal to the breeder, had been awarded, was sold by its owner, Mr. Edward Longmore, of Adforton, near Ludlow, to Mr. Rolt, a butcher, resident at Birkenhead. The best heifer, to which the same prizes were awarded, was purchased of its owner, Mr. Samuel Druce, of Eynsham, near Oxford, by Mr. Collingwood, of Westbourne-green.

(From Eliza Cooh's Journal.) " You're another !" It's a vulgar retort, but s common one—though not much in use amongst we l l . bred people. But there are many way s o f saying it, various modes of conveying the same meaning, as E ; to Brute," observed some one, on reading a debate in the House of Commons ; " I often see th ese words l' quoted ; what can they mean t" " I should say,', was the answer, " they mean, Oh you brute " Well, I rather think they mean You're Another !" Let the classicist determine which interpretation is the right one. " You're another !" may be conveyed in a mild tone and manner. For instance—" The Right Hon. Gen tleman seems not to apprehend the points of the argu ment : he sa y s h e d oes no t un d ers t an d how r and so i 3 so an d so. We can only supply him with argu ments level t o t h e meanest capacity, not wit h b ra i ns. Nature ha v i ng honourable gent l eman must 1)( matter of deep regret been sparing in her endowments to tha to those who are under the painful necessity of listen ingghennntnleumraabnle, andthus l d e e a l r i n ca ed tel to the oft.times-refuted assertions and so-called arguments , which he has advanced on this very citou,Tersehtpleolin'heos'n:delicately alluded d ho will permit me to cell him so) complains that his arguments are not understood; the simple reason being that they are unintelligible. He calls theta arguments level to the meanest cal a city, and let me assure him they are level to the meanest capacity only, for they are his own. Let the hasten to relieve his anxiety as to the remarks which I have felt it my duty to make on the qu: stioa under discussion, by assuring him that they have b..en understood by those who have intelligence to appreciate them, though I am not prepared to vouch as much for my honourable and learned friend on the other side of the house." Thus— Each lolls the tongue out at the other, And shakes his empty noddle at his brother." One honourable member accuses another of stating that which is tke " reverie of true."—the other re sponds by a charge of "gross misrepresentation of the facts of the case." Coalheavers would use a shorter and more emphatic word to express the same thing, though it would neither be classical nor con formable to the rules of the House. The Frenchman delicately defined a white lie to be " valking round about the trootb." We know what honourable mem bers mean when they talk in the above guise. It is, " You're another I" Dr. Whiaton accuses the Chapter of Rochester with applying for their own purposes the fonds be queathed by pious men of former times for the educa tion of the poor. The reply of the Chapter is—" You Atheist !" and they deprive the Doctor of his living. Sir Samuel Romilly once proposed to alter the Isar of bankruutcy, and to make freehold estates assets appropriable for debts, like personal property. The existing law he held to be pregnant with dishonesty and fraud against creditors. Mr. Canning imme diately was down . upon him with the " You're ano ther" argument. "Dishonesty !" he said, " why this proposal is neither more nor less than a dangerous and most dishonest attack upon the aristocracy, and the beginning of something which may end, if car ried, like the French revolution."._ Worthy men are often found differing about some speculative point, respecting which neither can have any more certain knowledge than the other, and they wax fierce and bitter, each devoting the other to a fate which he dare not venture to describe. One calls the other "bigot," who retorts by calling out " idolator," or perhaps " fanatic;" and the phrases are bandied about with the gusto and fervour of Billingsgate— the meaning of the whole is, " You're another." Literary men have frequently ventured into this bandying about of strange talk. Rival oountry editors have sometimes been great adepts in it ; though the fashion is gradually going out of date. There is nothing like the bitterness of criticism now, which used to prevail some fifty years ago. Godwin mildly assailed Southey as a renegade, in return for which Southey abused Godwin's abominably ugl7 nose. Moore spoke slightingly of Leigh Hunt Cockney poetry, and Leigh Hunt in reply ridiculed Moore's diminutive figure. Southey cut up Byron in the Reviews, and Byron cut up Southey in the Vision of Judgment. Scott did not appreciate Cole ridge, and Coleridge spoke of Ivanhoe and The Bride of Lammermoor as " those wretched abortions." You often hear of talkers who are "good at a re tort." It means that they can say " You're another 1" in a biting, clever way. The wit of many men is of as the Turk calls the Christian a Dog of an t o b u i t s oknd— f it—the cut t c i nhgand Christian s tian calls sarcastic.th e ic rk k a n n a I g e r i o — w Unbe liever.
