NEW BILL ON FACTORIES.—On Saturday a bill
in the Muse of Commons was printed " to limit the hours
of labour of women, young persons, and children in the
factories of the United Kingdom, aed to provide fir a more
perfect in. pectin's of the said factories." From the Ist of
January next it is proposed to enact that no protected per-
son fohuil be emi loyed in any factory between half-past 5
o'clock in the afternoon and 6 o'clock in the morning, or
between ? o'clock in the aftcrno^n of Saturday and 6
o'clock on Monday morning following. There are other
provisions in the bill to enforce the regulations.
ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.—
GLOUCESTEIt, SATURDAY Moor.—The arrangement for
the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, which will
be held next week at this city, are now in a forward state.
The actual busini ss of the meeting in fact has been com-
menced. The whole of the agricultural implements to be
exhibited, next Tuesday, have arrived, and occupy their
positions on the show ground, and to-day several of t
animals intended for compction arrived, and were placed in
their stalls. Toe exhibition takes place on Llantliony Farm,
in the cccupa, ion of Mr. William Jones, situate close to
Gloucester, on the Bristol-road, and the grounds, which are
quite level and well drained, are admirably laid out.
COINAGE OFFENCES IN TIIE COLONIES.—OR
Saturday a government bill was printed for the punishment
of offences in the colonies relating to the coin. Importing
counterfeit coin may be visited by imprisonment or tran-
sportation. Acts on coinage are extended to the colonies.
SOUTH WALES EXTENSION.—The opening of the
South Wales from Carmarthen will mainly depend upon
the completion of the bridge at that town, and as this
structure will be finished in about six weeks, it is thought
that the line for traffic wi.l be ready in two months. It is
quite decided that the line will be opened upon a single line
of rails, which is now laid down in many places, and within
a short distance df the town of liaverfeldwest. The station
at that town, with the approaches, are progressing rapidly.
The cutting at Shoalshook is pushed on night and day, and
it will shortly ho ready for the permanent rails, which may
be safely calculated to he laid down during the whole
length in about six weeks time.

Saturday a special general meeting of this company was
held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgatc-street, pursuant to
the Wharneliffe order of the House of Lords, for the pur-
pose of submitting to the proprir tors a bill for enabling the
company to make new railways, &c—Sir Robert ruin, Batt.,
in the chair. It was stated that the object of the bill wan

the o Llandilo
seven miles in length, at an expenne 50,000 f., money
1, to be raised in shares urn. 'The
each at a preference interest
of 5 per cent. per annum. The heads of the bill having
been read, a resolution authorising the directors to con-
struct the propoced works under the provisions of the act
was agreed to, and the proceedings terminated.
HONESTY AT Tilt; DIGGINGS.—In the year 1839
a person named John Ball, who had carried on business as
a tailor in Devonshire, emigrated to Australia, leasing
several debts unpaid. In each ease the creditors marked
them as bad. To their astonishment, however, a prod
arrived in London about six weiks since, addressed to
Messrs. rat...more and Savory, of Exeter. On opentag_it
it was found to coma n twelve cutlery of gold du t; lie-
