Afters few weeds from Xr. GRATTAN lad Mr. O'Fka-
Iflllir,
Colonel DUNNE tlionght that the house ought not to
go on with the bill without some more definitive statement
as to the exact amount of taxation which was to be anti-
cipated. It was not Ices important to know in what we
economy was to be secured in the administration of the bill.
lie should vote in favour of all the amendmente of which
notice had been given, for the purpose of resisting the
..___•__

proposed centralisation.
After a few words from Lord BERNARD,
Mr. OTLAHERTY appealed to the lriah members to
disease the clause, and not the general question.
The amendment was then agreed to.
1 After further conversation, the clause was agreed to.

On clause 2,
Sir R. FERGUSON moved an amendment, at page 2,
line 29, to omit the words " or hospital district or dis-
tricts," and all subsequent clauses as to the formation,
dtc., of hospital districts, or which confer on the commis-
sioners any power over hospitals, except that of inspection.
His object was to restrict the operation of the bill to dis-
pensaries. He did not deny that the present hospital
accommodation in Ireland was inadequate and defective,
but he believed that the house was not at present in a con-
dition to legislate on this branch of the question.
Mr. REYNOLDS objected to the amendment.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE hoped that the committee would
not consent to the amendment. He was satisfied that the
abuses of the hospital system in Ireland were quite as bad
as the abuses of the dispensary system. The amendment
had simply for its object to spare the richer classes of
society.
Mr. F. French, Mr. S. Crawford, and Mr. OTlsherty
spoke against the amendment ; and Mr. Vcsey, Lord Naas,
Colonel Dunne, and Mr. Conolly in favour of it.
Alter some further discussion, the committee divided:—
For the words in the clause B5
For the amendment.
The house then resumed, and the chairman obtained
leave to sit again on Friday.
The house then adjourned at a few minutes before six
o'clock.

Mr. Philip Bennet paired off against the second reading
of the Universities (Scotland) Bill yesterday with Mr.
Ilardeastle, in favour.
Mr. Fuller paired on Monday in favour of Mr. Ralpole's
amendment on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill with Sir De
L. Evans.
Sir 11. F. Davie was accidentally shut oat from the di-
vision on the second reading of the Universities (Scotland)
Bill, in favour of which measure he had intended to vote.

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN CONTANT.—The fifteenth
annual general meetingof this company wu held yesterday,
at their Ohm, No. 4, New Broad-street; Mr. 'l. Ruddell
Todd in the chair. The report stated that the inventories
of the company's property showed a very considerable im-
provement. They amounted to 333,8041., which the direc-
tors considered was under the present actual value of the
ert~. The amount of rent received during the quarter
the 31st of October, 1850, was 18,4851., being an in-
swing of 3,989!. over the receipts from the sources of the
ing year. The company now possess wharfs extend-
-904 feet of frontage to the river, and the receipts for
and warehouse accommodation for the months of No-
limber and December last were at the rate of 5,2001. per
core. An increase of outlay .would be remunerative.
The total number of acres of country lands leased and occu-
plod for pasture, at 29th September last, was 37,587. Since
that date further leases of 1,282 acres bad been advised,
leaving 17,775 acres unproductive. Of this quantity,
there were 11,314 acres of mineral lands, which were
I being gradually leased in mining belts. The season's clip
of wool bad been remunerative. The quantity received
was 464 bales, which realised 6,2521. ; of the present
quarter's clip, 32.5 bales had arrived, and 44 bales more
were daily expected. The sales of sheep bad brought
2,2581. The expenditure in mining operations bad
been 4,2401., while the value of the ore raised
had been only 3,378/. The report then went on to
say: "Looking to the increased expenditure which will be
required to carry out the improvements and to maintain
the value of the property at the port, considering. also the
limited number of asses of country lands remaining un-
leased, sad the importance of securing a further guantity of
good agricultural land as favourable opportunities occur,
and feeling the necessity of maintaining the cowpony in a
perfectly independent position as to Its finances by. the
liquidation of their debentures and other debts, the sissyc-
tors are of opinion that the present is a fitting time to in-
crease the capital of the company, and they accordingly
now ask the sanction of the proprietors to do so. The
directorapropose to effect this necessary object by the issue
of one 251. share for every four now held, giving to each
shareholder the option of taking his proportion_on or before
the 24th December nest ; if am all erad kr and a
deposit of 21. 10s. per doe plea

residue will have to De divided pre on emseeet One
shareholders who may wish to increase their number, or,
in default of this, disposed of to the public on the most
advantageous terms above par which can be obtained
for them." The statement of accounts showed the
set income of the company to have been 17,4131., out
et which the directors recommended that a dividend should
be declared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the paid
w segital. The report, in conclusion, alluded to the grow-
if gemperity of the colony, and to its future prospects, and
ememetalated the company on the position of their affairs.
Atter ems conversation, resulting in the adoption of the
Imp the meeting became special for the purpose of cored-
asides and sledding on the proposal to issue new shares, the
puma eletebolders having a preference, and to make such
alb ea den as might be deemed necemary. The proposal
wee not diefeted, and a resolution, moved by Mr. Divett,
M.P., sat esesuded by Mr. Gurney, was passed, to the
elect that, is order to meet the necessary additional outlay
, which might be required for the improvement of the ear
psny's property in the colony, and to liquidate existingbilities, the meeting authorised the board of directors to
issue, at par, one new 2.51. share for every four jmesent
held, which, when paid in full, should be plen the
same footing as the other shares of the company. The pro-
ceedings then terminated.
