second, that the Mahomenedan and heathen secular powers
were beginning to admit the principles of toleratior. in the
place of bigotry and persecution ; and third, that there was
a disposition unsung the members of the Christian churches
in the east to seek refuge in the pale of protestrunism. The

METROPOLITAN SEWAGE MANURE COMPANY.—
The second half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the
shareholders of this company was held yesterday, at the office
in Waterloo-place, H. P. Fuller, Esq., in the chair. The
report stated that since the last meeting the company's bill
had been read • second time in the Home of Commons.'
The surveying officers appointed by the Commissioners of
Woods nod Forests had held their inquest on the merit. of the
plan, and given • highly satisfactory report of the ease, in
which they had adverted to the national importance of a ,
amours by which the sewage of our towns may be employed
for the production of food, instead of being wasted. With '
reference to the tunnel, the report of the surveyors considered
it an improvement on the first plan, of iron mains, inasmuch
a* It enabled the company to take up all the sewers which
the tunnel would intersect. In compliance with a rec. mmenda-
lion of the surveyors, borings had been executed, in order to
prove the existence of firm ground at the depth stated by the
company. These borings had been found highly satisfactory
—the more so that they afforded ground for believing that
the work could be executed considerably within the original
estimate. It had bees apprehended the Health of Towns
Mal would cause some delay in the passing of the present
bill through parliament ; but an interview with Lard Nor.
pet* had dispelled these apprehensions, his lordship having
premised thentemniption from the operations of his ;
asd he had expressed a hope that they would succeed in car-
rying ant the proposed plan. The report went on to Matt
that the estimate of the company's profits was made span
