JAPAN.

The following latest intelligence from Japan is
taken from the North China Herald of August 10 :

"The arrival of news from Yeddo is looked for
with much anxiety. The Fiery Cross brings the
latest, dated 29th ult. Her Majesty's ship Actaion
and gunboats Dove and Leven had arrived from
Nagasaki, but the Admiral was still absent, and
the Fiery Cross saw nothing of him on her passage.
"At Yukuhanis the residents appeared to be under ,
no fear. At Yeddo, the Japanese seemed to expect
another attack, as besides the usual guard,
they had the retainers of two Damon; as an
extra protection, and the precautions to meet
it were daily increasing. The gnarls were
going about in full armour day and night,
lamps were stuck up at every ten paces or so, and
large fires kept up all night at a distance of from
40 to 80 paces, so that it was impossible any one
could get into the grounds of the Legation unob-
served. They are said to disapprove of the ma-
rines being on guard, as in case of au attack they
would bo unable to distinguish between assailants
and defenders, and would fire on both indiscri-
mivately.
" Mr. Oliphant's wounds were not dangerous,
but it was desirable that be should have the first
surgical assistance, and lie will therefore return to .
England ere long.
'• The Ringdove would probably be despatched
from Yeddo soon after the Admiral arrived, and ,
may be expected daily."
Admiral Hope, long daily expected at Yeddo
from Hong Kong, bad not arrived on the 26th. Our '
minister was maintaining his ground in the lega-
tion wish the aid of a guard of twenty-five blue-
jackets from the little despatch boat, the Ringdove,
the only British man-of-war on Qum waters for the
protection of British interests. Whether any second
and more desperate attack was pending, no one
could say. It is to be hoped the Admiral's tardy
arrival may yet be in time to prevent such
a calamity, and extricate the British representa-
tive from his perilous position. We hear M. de Belle-
court, the French Charge d'Affaires, immediately
on hearing of the attack, very generously put him-
self on board the Ringdove at Yokohama, and took

[TWOPENCE

r with him 15 el' the crew of his Imperial Majwily'it
ship Dordogne, with an officer, deter nined to shares
a common danger. M. de Bellen.urt a few days
later went to big own legation, where he remained
with his guard at the latest date. Mr. Harris is
also in his legation, and hitherto at least, undis-
turbed.

Mr. Dowse applied in this case on report of the officer of
the court to vacate the proceedings, on the ground that the
debts had been paid and satisfied.
The court granted the motion, making another in which
debtors under the ohl law have paid their creditors after a
discharge.

INDIA.

--.
The following summary of Calcutta intelligence
is from the iforkarn of Sept. 9 :
"Our latest English news is to the 3rd August.
We have had very little news to write of since our
i last. We are glad to say that we have not heard
so much of cholera and sickness from our up-.
country correspondents, so that we may hope that
the worst has passed, not, however, without de-
, priviag us of at least the strength of a whole
regiment of English soldiers. Government l.as
appointed a commission to visit the Owes
where the disease chiefly raged ; but we do
not anticipate much result from their labours.
We find the English press rejoicing over the treaty
which is to put an end to French African slavery
by substituting our coolies for the slaves, but we
feel that lure we are suffering a severe loss from the
abstraction of our labour. in Calcutta there are
coolie agents for the West hashes, the Mauritius,
and now for Bourbon, all competing against the
tea planters of Amain and Cachou for the Boouooshs
or Mangum the hill men of Chota Nagpore and
other wild countries, who make the best labourers
on plantations. The demand is much greater than
the supply, and we certainly think that it is very
bad policy to rob our own labour market in order
to supply the French.
We read in the Friend of India :—" Cholera con-
tinues among the English troops at Lahore. It
has made its appearance at Benares and Nuasera-
bad. At a large public meeting of the natives of
Calcutta, a memorial to Sir Charles Wood has been
adopted, condemning the conduct of Sir Mordauut
Wells for his frequent and indiscriminate attacks
on the natives. This has called forth a counter
address to the judge from the Maharajah of Bunl-
wan and the leading merchants and tradesmen of
Calcutta. A bill to tax the cultivation of tobacco
in Bengal has been introduced into the Legislative
Council. An act has been passed enabling the three
presidency banks to undertake the management of
the naw currency notes, as soon asthey are received
in India, and to undertake several of the duties
hitherto conducted by the government treasuries.
Rain has continued to fall heavily throughout the
country.

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHABECT, Dec. Z 3, ENAMING.

Prince Couza has to-day transmitted to the
authorities by telegraph a proclamation announc-
ing hie consent to the union of the Principalities.
In consequence of this proclamation the city is
illuminated, and the Chamber has unanimously
voted its thanks to the Prince.

The United Assembly for Moldavia and Walla.
chin is convened for the 24th January in Bucharest.
MAREMILLFS, Dec. 24.
According to advice' received here, Prince Simi,
brother of the Bey of Tunis, is dead.

PORTUGAL.
LISBON, Dsc. 23.
Prince Joao, brother of the King of Portugal,
is very dangerously ill.

HOLLAND.

On the 21st instant the Second Chamber of the
States General of Holland declared by a formal vote
its want of confidence in the ministry. The conse-
quence will be tither the dissolution of the Chamber
or the retirement of the ministry. There has been
for a long tune a permanent ministerial crisis in
Holland, with conflicts generally turning upon se-
condary questions.

GERMANY.

A Munich letter in the Mottiteur says

The Duke of Brunswick, though only 116 years of age,
' has the privilege, common to all pereowes without din A
heirs, of seeing his succession discussed in his lifetime.
Hitherto it has been considered as almost tattled that the
House of Hanover, as the nearest agnate, would inherit his
Duchy, but all at wee a new competitor ha. arisen in the
parson of the King of Prussia, who pretends to wenn
rights superior to those of Hanover. There are conse-
quently grouGds either for a lawsuit or at least for arbi-
tration. The National Association, which madlea with
everything and doubts of nothing, advises Prussia, through
the journals which act as its organs, to decide the difficulty
by purely and simply winos on the Duchy when the op-
Fortune moment shall arrive. Bat perhaps this expeditions
manner of terminating the difference *al not be to the taste
of the Germanic Confederation.

MOUNT VESUVIUS.

The Official Journal of Naples publishes the
latest report of M. Pelinkni, director of the observatory of
that city, containing an account of the decline of the pre-
sent eruption up to the 17th. He states that although
Mount Vesuvius has nearly subsided into its usual quiet
*We, yet a quantity of carbonic acid is still evolved from
the soil of Tome del Greco, leading to the belief that all the
crevices opened there communicate with a vast subterranean
receptacle of that gas, extending far under the sea, where
numerous bubbles are seen to arise, and the death of a large
number of fish has been marked in consequence. This time
the eruption bail not been announced by the disappearance
of water from the wells, but, on the contrary, by the
opening of new springs strongly accidulsted with
carbonic acid, which has also tainted the water
of revered wells, which, at the same time, haa risen
to s higher level to thee. But the most singular pheno-
menon mentioned by M. Palmieri is, that the soil has risen
nine-eighths of a metre above the level of the sea ; aged
since tine rising has taken place above the old lava of 1791,
the latter hes been broken and cracked in various directions,
which has calmed the fall of many edifices built upon it.
The true cause of the receding of the sea, so often men-
tioned by authors, and not credited, as no CALM could be
assigned for it, is now fully explained ; it is not the sea that
recedes, but the soil that rises. "It now remains to be
seen," says M. Palmieri, " whether this rising will go down
again ; and I would therefore recommend the landowners
of Torre del Greco not to set about rebuilding their houses
just yet." The craters continue to emit sulphurous hydro-
chloric acid, and also • certain quantity of sulphuretted
hydrogen. Among the sublimations may be mentioned a
large amount of sulphur, the usual chlorides of iron, and •
little specular iron ore.

Tho Lombardia of Milan states in a letter from
Turin, that M. Campanella, late editor of the Italia del
Tapplo, has lett Genoa for London, to invite Marsini to re
turn to Italy, and surrender to take his trial ; sod that at
the gams time • deputation, composed of MM. Mordini
and Sat, is to be sent tow King to solicit the royal
pardon far Marsini.

A correspondent of Galignani gives the following
intellinesce from Causes:—" Lord Rokeby remains here till
Tuesday next, when he will be replaced by Lieut.-Colooel
Cavendish, now on his way to this place to take charge
of Prince Leopold. It has been wisely decided to
allow the Prince to remain here, as he has already
derived so much benefit from bin short re-
siduum. Ile has quite recovered his appetite, and is able
to take any fair amount of enerciae, and plays about with
Yr. W. Brougham's little boy, who is his own age, just
like say other healthy cluld. The effect produced on him
by this wonderful climate is really miraculous. Lady
Bowater and her daughter remain."

MANCHESTER.

Yesterday, the Mitucheeder City Council held a
rpeeial meeting to adopt an address of condolence to her
(Mr. Goadsby), in introducing the subject,
said the cold lifeless form which now rested in the tomb at
Windsor was but a few days ago animated by a spirit so
philosophic sad full of sympathy with all that was human-
ising, peak and good, that in the Prince's death the nation
led lost • sable benefsetor and friend. The Prince Con-
sort would by. is the pages of the historian as one who had
conferred benefits innumerable nixie the people. (Hear.)
Hr. Alderman NEILD wad they had met with the humble
desire to offer to the stricken heart of oar beloved Queen
their oondoleuce in her deep affliction. In a national point
of view the present was no common caw It was not as
where& few courtly mourners assembled because one of the
mighty once of the earth had yielded to the common lot. It
presented the sorrowing of • nation which counted its
mourners by millions. He had been much struck with •
report he had from two of his friends who visited much
amongst the poor. They told him that in every house
the foaling was intense the inquiries were most eager
bow our Queen bore up Bathe midst of her deep affliction—
(hear, hear)—and the inquiry was not seldom socurnpanied
with tears. They found the same feeling pervading every
house am they went from door to door. (Hear, hear.) He
remembered no similar case of mourning, exceift 44 years
years ago, on the occasion of the death of the Princess
Charlotte. As a nation, we had fondly hoped that under
the reign of that princess brighter days awaited us. Some
then, might be formed of the terrible blow
which severed those hopes for ever. But it was a
consolation for those who, like himself, had lived
in both the times, to feel that the fond anti-
cipations of the reign of the Primula Charlotte
had been far more than realised in the reign
of Queen Victoria. (Hear, hear.) It was, indeed,
delightful to feel that God hail so signally blessed the de-
votion to duty and to the welfare of her people, on the part
of the Queen and her lamented Consort, in permitting the
glorious reign she had exercised over this coentry. Where,
he &eked, in the length and breadth of this wide earth, was
there • parallel case to our own ? He asked, but he asked
in vain. There was, thee, • deep case for gratitude la 001
for blessings which he believed had never been witiossed
in this realm at any other period. Fer the exprosios at
feelings like these they were very properly assembled, end

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS. TUESDAY EMITNO.

A mot of M. Saint Marc Girardin's, which will
not soon be forgotten—" it is not the empire which
supports the Emperor, but the Emperor which sup-
porta the empire"—is picked out from yesterday's
article in the Di%as as a text for impressive con-
tradictions by the government journals.
The Bourse opened with some animation, owing
to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange (with
another ito boot) of the rise of per cent. in
Consols, which was reported here as having taken
place after official hours on Saturday. The Bente,
which was done by the assessors yesterday evening
at prices very much lower than 67fr. 30c.—the last
official quotation—opened at 67fr. 35c., and rose
to 67fr. 50c. But in the latter part of the day,
although no news of an unquieting nature was
stirring, the market became exceedingly dull.
Rents closed at 67fr. 25c. both forcash and account,
being a fall, in the latter case, of sc. Mobilier
closed with a rise of 3fr. 75c., after having been fife.
or 7fr. higher. The Italian Loan fluctuated be-
tween 65fr. 80c. and 65fr. 10c, closing at 65fr. 25c.,
with a fall of 30c. Railways were generally from
lfr._2sc. to 2fr. 500. higher.

M. oer6ine, probably the moat eminent among
the younger generation of French living painters,
the author of the "Death of Qatar," "The
Augurs," "Phryn6 before the Areopagus," drc.,
arc., was yesterday seriously wounded in a duel
with M. Stevens, a brother artist. Some of the
morning papers report that his arm was broken,
but it appears that the ball which struck him went
round the bone, leaving only a bad flesh wound,
from which, however, no danger is apprehended.
A lady's name is mentioned iu connexion with the
renoontre.

A man named Dupille, the suspected murderer
of the driver of the Beauvais mail cart, was
tracked to the house of one of his relations by
some constables under the direction of a village
mayor, named Charpentier. Finding the house
beset Dupille jumped out of a window and took
to his heels ; the mayor fired two pistols at him
as he ran off, but missed both times. The whole
country was up and hunting the fugitive in the
woods at the date of the last news.

A large collection of modern porcelain and a
few pictures, belonging to the Count de Trapani,
was sold by auction to-day at the public rooms in
the Rue Drouot; the prices obtained were very high,
and in many instances beyond the cost price of
the articles.

The Vienna papers publish news from Malta, ac-
cording to which the Maltese tribunals have sen-
tenced Captain Caraliere Dino, of the Italian
frigate Mozambano, to three months', and his
Lieutenant to two months' imprisonment, with
hard labour, for committing an assault on the
editor of the Portofoglio.

your Majesty our deep, sincere, and heartfelt sympathy and
condolence in the affliction with which it has pleased an all-
wise and beneficent Creator to visit your Majesty, your
family, and the nation. Our sorrow for the death of your

The motion was wooded by Mr. Alderman CLARK!, and
unanimously agreed to.

DISTRIBUTION OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Yesterday, being Christmas-eve, the following
seasonable gifts to the poor were distributed in the various
districts, viz :—By her Majesty's command the gifts of the
late Dochem of Kent to the poor inhabitants of Mary Ab-
bots, ltessington, were coetiessd. They coedited of bread,
meat, coal; and blankets. A Christmas dieser was
provided by the Duke and Dasher of Cambridge for each
poor family in Kew and its vieinity. In most of the metro-
politan parishes the respective clarpmen, assisted by the
churchwardens, distributed tickets for coals, breed, and
meat to the deserving poor. In the perishes of St. Mary's-
bone, Southwark, and Lambeth the ladies' visiting mieletirs
relieved the necessities of several damning poor families
by the issue of coals, blankets, warm clothing, and other
comforts. In the City the ward and parish odious were
indefatigably ppmed in administering to the waste of the
poor at this hmWvis memo, and the City Kitchen was open
for the supply of coals to the poor of the metropolis and
suburbs.

the poor &Um' • plentiful supply of Christmas cheer,
onaresting of beef and bread, and money was also given to
enahle the prisoner to supply themselves with plum pud-
ding, or other dainties appropriate to the season. Owing
to the distance which this gaol has undergoes within the
last two months at the bands of the Bankruptcy Registrars,
the number of the incarcerated has been so reduced, that
the allowance of beef and breed amounted yesterday to
something much beyond the average of former years. The
money distributed amounted to about lls. each ; those
debtors who were in circumstances of comparative comfort
refusing any share of it. The total number who will speed

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

We read in the Temps :
" A letter from Washington, received by the
last steamer, and written by a person
who is in a position to be well-informed
upon the intentions of the American govern-
ment, has been communicated to us. This
letter affirms that the American government was
disposed to give up Messrs. Mason and Slidell
upon the demand of England, on the condition
that the English government, basing its
demand upon the right of neutrals, violated by the
act of Commander Wilkes, will sanction the doctrine
always professed by the United States, and the
formal recognition of which by England has been
vainly sought on several occasions by the United
States."

ITALY.

The following is an extract from a Naples letter
of Dec. 17 :

"M. Vera, our new professor of history in the
University, has just pronounced his introductory
lecture, and greatly scandalised some of the audience
by a very open profession of pantheism. German
philosophy was only introduced into Naples by the
late revolution, and the youth in the schools take
to it very kindly. The peculiar aptitude of
the Neapolitans for metaphysical studies is re-
markable. The names of Campanella Vico and
others prove this. Just now, in spite of political
anxiety, there is a feverish thirst for specu'Oive
inquiries. We are inundated with volumes d /a
Hegel. I have one now on my table by a young
adept, M. Florian del Zio, on the Encyclopaedia
of Philosophic Sciences.' It is only within
the last year that people dared to mention
the name of Hegel iu Naples, and now, in spite of
the dislike of Germany, that great philosopher has
more disciples here than in Paris, or all France put
together. Such is the feeling generated amongst us
by the Pope's obstinacy. And, moreover, schismatic
propa3andism makes enormous progress with the
lower classes. Simple-minded people are becoming
protestants, and (allow me the expression) people
of complicated minds turn pantheists."

SARDINIA AND THE GERMANIC DIET.

The lf's etc-sebum Munitair states that the repro-
sentative of Sardinia at the Germanic Diet will
shortly notify the different annexations and the
formation of the Italian kingdom, and that,
thereupon, the Diet will refuse to recognise
any representative of that kingdom. The
same official journal adds, that Prussia
has made such preparations that in a few days she
could mobilise her whole army, and that her
military forces are so disposed along the Rhine and
in Westphalia, that a prompt change of position
would suffice to put the whole army in line. The
German Federal army is completely equipped, and
could present itself "to the enemy" with very
little delay, and the military commission of the
Diet is displaying the utmost activity. The Dfbats
of to-day, in noticing these observations, is curious
to know who is "the enemy " alluded to in such a
mysterious way by the Wurtemburg journal.

THE POLICE COURTS.

owtryncii.

Upoa Mr. Mande's taking his eras upon the bench be-
tween 300 and 400 shlirbodied men, principally engaged in
the southern main drainage works, bat who are at pressed
thrown out of employ by the severity of the weather, headed
the Bev. J. P. Courtesay, aouseeted with the Loudon
Home Mission, waited his worship with the
treed seeking 'MO relief for wee and their dis-
tfamilies. Frog an explanatios entered into by the
rev. gentleman it appeared that the whole el the men then
surrounding the court had been idle since the setting in of
the present frost, and consequently they and their wives
and families were suffering the greatest hardships. It was
therefore hoped that out of the funds of the poor-box some
relief might be afforded. The poor-law relieving officer bad
been communicated with, and the usual orders had been
offered the applicants, is able-bodied pawns, of work in the
union-house, but as the amount to be earned would not
exceed titl. per day, this would be wholly inadequate to
provide for their wanta. A converoation then took
place between Mr. Maude and the reverend gentleman, in
which his worship sympathised with the men in their pre-
empt position, but observed that the duty of relieving the
general distress existing In the district could not be under-
taken by the court. A few benevolent gentlemen bad,
however, interested themselves in the matter, and the list
of contnbutors to the fund being raised had been headed by
• donation of 101. 10• out of the limited funds plaoed at the
disposal of the magistrates of that cond. The Rev. Mr.
Courtthey having remarked that he would place himself In
communication with some of the committee of the
fund, thanked his worship and retired. It should
be here stated that the above body of men, since
the commencement end during the progress of the
southern main drainage works, have conducted them-
selves iu • remarkably sober and quiet manner, gaining
the respect of the residents of the locality, and regularly
attending various religious and social gathenngs which have
been originated in their behalf.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

Concerning the projected smith* at Gaeta, the
latest news of auy precision is that telegraphed
from London 941 being in the Daisy News of this
morning. The Pays says that, according to the
last information, "the negotiations are serious, and
in a fair wayof success;" and according to the Patric,
" they are actively going on." There is a rumour
that the French Emperor will be so very consider-
ate as to withdraw, on the 19th, only just far enough
to enable Admiral Persano to bombard the place,
but will still keep his fleet at hand to prevent
Russia or Austria from coming up, and to offer
Francis H. an asylum, whenever he likes to
take it.

The official origin of the pamphlet " The Pope
and the Bishops of France," is denied by the
evening journals, but in terms which prove
nothing. The Pays says that, "as usual," foreign
newspapers affect to refer this new anonymous
production to official regions, and that, "as it
always does," the Pays warns the public that
the production is altogether a personal
matter having no value beyond what may belong to
the private opinions of the author. This "as
always "of the Pays is rather too strong ; that
journal would not now deny that at least two
anonymous pamphlets published by M. Dentu
within the last two years were as official as could
possibly be. I expressed my belief on Sunday
that this one is not official in so high
a degree—for there are degrees and forms in these
things ; but I still have no doubt that it is promul-
gated with very high approbation. Of course that
does not imply that the French government means to
be bound by its very strong propositions against the
temporal power. The Union thinks the pam-
phlet so important that it devotes aix or seven
columns to criticism and extracts of it, and, although
it satirically repeats at the head of every paragraph
that it is " anonymous," in order to be the more
free to denounce its doctrines, this ultramontane
journal makes the not unimportant remark that the
facts contained in the pamphlet are not such as
private individuals can readily obtain sours to.
An attachti from the Minister of Foreign Affairs
left Paris this morning for London, with des-
patches for M. de Flahault, which are supposed
to be very important, as the private secretary of
the minister passed the greater part of the night
in drawing them up.
The fall at the Bourse goes on with scarcely a
check. The Rente fell 30c. both for cash and ac-
count, closing at G6fr. 90c. Moldier was 23fr. lower.
Railways fall from 2fr. 50c. to 6fr.

SPAIN.

The Spanish Government is actively preparing
for sea the naval force that is to act on the coast of,
Mexico, in conjunction with the English and French
squadrons. The Spanish force will consist of four
screw frigates, the two newly-built ships of war—
the Lealdwl and the Concepcion, of two large
steamers, and six other vessels of lighter draught.
The squadron will be commanded by Vice. Admiral
Rubalcaba, as senior officer in the Antilles. The
number of troops to he disembarked in Mexico is
about 8,003, of whom 3,0J0 will be sent from Cuba.
The government has left to General Serrano the
nomination of the commander of the Cuban con-
tingent. The expedition is expected to sail from
the Spanish ports towards the end of the present
month.

MARCE 2.

The ease was resumed this morning, when
Mr. Mellor addressed the jury for the defence. He said
he had tint to remark upon the circumstances older which
Lieutenant Allen waiVaced in the custody of Captain
Boyle, for which ill detention he was said to be respon-
sible in damages. H. had been tried in India for the
crime of manthsughter by a court-martial, there
being no civil tribunal by which be would other-
wise have been tried. By the courtmartial to whose juris•
diction he was subject lie was convicted, and tin sentence
was duly confirmed by Lord Clyde, who ordered that his
place of imprisonment should take place at Agra, and who
afterwards ordered his removal to Calcutta fur the purpose
of being sent to England. It was true Lord Clyde men•
tioned no particular prison in England in which he should
be confined, but he and every other man of practical com-
mon sense knew that his duty simply wee to deliver him in
custody, and that it was the duty of the War•office or the
Comniander-in.Chief in England to appoint the prison, and
it was not until • very careful examination of the provi-
sions of a very difficult act of parliament, and after much
deliheration, that the Court of Queen's Bench C 2111.1 to the
conclusion that Mr. Allen was entitled to his discharge,
and that there wee no power vested in anybody in Eog•
land to direct any penal in which he should be con-
fined. It was therefore an omission, or rather a technical
difficulty arising out of the Mutiny Act, owing to which he
wee imprisoned, though he would be legally in custody in
India. But let them see the course of events in this case.
Captain Boyle received Mr. Allen as a primmer, with an
escort and a route, in the ordinary form, sad was autherieed
by the Secretary at War to receive him in custody. He
was from Weedoe conveyed to Newpte, bemuse there
were in that prison greater conveniences for the separation
of prisoner. But his learned friend Mr. Macaulay had
given a very partial and coloured account of the proceedings
in reference to that young gentleman, and he should nut
discharge his duty to the public, to the jury, and the de-
fendant for whom immediately he appeared, if he allowed
it to pass without some explanation. Mr. Allen was

BRENTPOILD Azo KEW BRIDGE.

On Saturday a public meeting of the inhabitants
at Brantford was held at the Town•hall, for the peeped' of
obtaining their santhem to the construction of a bridge pro-
posed by the Great Westeweand Brentford Railway Com-
pany to be thrown scram die Thema from their present
terminus at Brantford to Kew Garden. Mr. M. G. Dar
oscopied the chair, 'imported by Mr. J. Blake (Kiwis,-
house), Mr. Montgomery. Mr. Autos, Mr. Cumilmtoa,
Mr.ilyrei. Meyers, Mr. King, and most of the miasm-
al the neighboarb.
Mr. WTAIT (par1i41:131614117 agent) and Mr. MOSAAT (the
engineer) explained in detail the nature of the project, and
the principal features of the bill now before parlianwet for
parrying it into effect. It was anticirwied that the railway
would Wag as humane accession of visitor, to He, Gar-
diees'frosa the West, and it could Dot fail fobs dr great ail-
esithge to Breathed to hayed* ready mesas d ecammani-
cation with the opposite shoes whit* this kik* world
'fiord. The total cost would not exceed 8,0001., and it was
not proposed to ask the inhabitants of Brantford for a shil,
Hug of the money. The maximum toll permitted by the act
was one peony each person • but it wee more than probable
that the promoters would find it to their interest not to ex-
act more thee half that sum. -

l o having spoken strongly in favour of
th
_pr
Mr. di—n.g."—.lmerxi and Mr. ?too expressed some apprehen-
sion that the effect of the bill would be to destroy the
present halfpenny ferry, and to saddle the people with a toll
of double that amount.
ffatiefactory explanations were offered upon this bead,
and the assurance being given that the directors were most
anxious to consult the wishes of the town, a committee was
unanimously appointed to confer with them on the subject
of the tolls, no question being raised aa to the utility and
desirableness of the bridge.
A vote of thanks to the chairman brought the mood-
lags to a close. •
