REVIVAL OF lIINGERFORD MARKET.

A meeting of the Proprietors of Shares in the
above undertaking was held at the Company's
Office, on Thursday last,
WILLIAM COURTENAY, Dig., in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated to the meeting, that in
the spring of last year a great number of individuals
of the first respectability, desirous of establishing a
public market for the sale of flish, acid other articles of
general consumption in the western part of the me-
tropolis, had come to a resolution of purchasing the
freehold of the Hungerford Estate, with all its
market privileges, and a Committee was then ap-
pointed for the purpose of negotiating for the pur-
chase. They had entered into negociations with
the proprietor, and succeeded in obtaining the option
of purchasing it for a sum of 110,0001., Mr. Wise,
the present proprietor, being willing to take that
sum. In addition to this, 100,000/. would be re-
quired for the purpose of reconstructing the market,
and rebuilding the houses in Hungerford-street,
and the Strand, upon a large and improved scale,
which it was proposed to raise by a joint stock
company in shares of 100/. The Committee had
been encouraged in their proceedings by the ex-
pression of public opinion in favour of the project.
The proprietors must be satisfied in knowing that
when the purchase should have been completed,
they would secure to themselves a real estate of
intrinsic value, and which would yield a certain
revenue, whether applied to the purposes of a
market or not. The public had entertained a rea-
sonable dread of the objects of some companies
set on foot in a season of delusion, but to pre-
vent the supposition that there could be any job in
their transactions, the Committee had proceeded
with great caution, and the total amount of the ex-
penses incurred, the audited account he, would read
to the Meeting, which stated, that all the expenses
only amounted to the trifling sum of 86/. 2s. Bd.;
this included every charge of every kind : a f►ct
that would serve to show the temper and spirit with
which the measure had been advanced to thin point.
The office they were occupying had been lent them
by Government, rent free. The officers were gra-
tuitous, and had not run the Committee to any ex-
pence. If he had not had the best opinion of this un-
dertaking in a secure point of view, he would not
himself have risked his deposit on ten shares, and it
might be satisfactory to proprietors to know, that
their risk could not have exceeded the amount of
their deposit. He (Mr. Courtenay) had never en-
couraged fanciful notions of enormous profits, but
he was satisfied that this security was good; and it
was a question with him, whether it did not offer a
prospect of considerable interest ; and such an opi-
nion he understood Mr. Baring had expressed at the
last meeting of the Committee. To conclude, he
must confess he had a strong bias i❑ favour of the
proposed undertaking, and was willing to use his
exertions and money to promote it, and trusted that
other proprietors would concur in the same opinion,
and think as he did of theadvantages that were likely
to ensue.

The Hon. P. BOUVERIE said, that to bring the
business to a point it was necessary to raise the sum
of 210,0001., and as that sum at present had not
been subscribed, he conceived the Committee were
right in taking the sense of the proprietors before
they went to Parliament, for a Bill ; and if they
should, in the present stage of the subscription, re-
solve on going forward, had the satisfaction of
knowing that the measure would-receive the support
of his Majesty's Government, although, at the pre-
sent moment, there was no money at its disposal that
could be applied to this improvement.
Mr. WYATT:was strongly. inclined, to commie the
objectoind .was.very-sariguitie of-.its succes*,.. This
gentleman offered some important suggestions, and
strongly urged the propriety of calling a public meet-,
ing, which he was satisfied would have the effect
of carrying the measure forward with spirit.
Mr. POSTANS observed,,,that a market of this sort,
7and on this situation,, wits very desirable, he might
almost say requisite, for, the supply of the immense
population westward of ;Temple Bar ; and he was
quite satisfied, if the public for a moment reflected
upon its importance and its value, its situation, and
the respectability of the gentlemen who had under-
taken its management, they would have no hesitation
in coming forward with. their subscriptions.
Several other shareholders concurred in the senti•
ments that had been delivered, and it was unani-
mously resolved to petition Parliament for a Bill
forthwith. It was also resolved to hold a public
meeting on Friday next.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the
meeting dissolved.

A QUELQUE CHOSE MALHEUR EST BON.—
The recent conflagration which destroyed the English
Opera-house, also levelled with the ground four houses of
a certain description, which have long been among the
greatest nuisances of that quarter of the town. If these
mansions, and the other houses of the same description
in the same street, formed a part (as is generally be-
lieved) of the large estate of the Alarquis of Exyrzn,
he must be the greatest brothel-proprietor in the me-
tropolis. They would bare been removed long ago
but for the enormous revenue they produce, tile Noble
Marquis (like VusrastAN) thinking that the value of the
streams which feed his coffers is not et all affected by the
impurity of the source from which they flow. In private
life this Nobleman is considered to be strict, even to au.
sterity; but it is easier to frown at individual deviation
from virtue than to relinquish lucrative wholesale abomina-
tions. The lesson is instructive, because it gives us tile
measure of aristocratic morality.—Morning Paver.
As soon as the sentence of separation between
Lord ELLIENBOUOUCII and his Lady was pronounced in
the Consistorial Court, proceedings were immediately
adopted to carry the cause to the House of Lords, where
it is fully expected that the Divorce Bill will pass without
the least interruption from the learned civilians engaged
on behalf of her Ladyship. The document signed by Dr.
LUSIIINGTON fur the separation was, on the sentence being
given, forwarded to the proper Mficer at the House of
Lords. As the evidence on the part of the promoter of
the cause was not gone into, on account of assurance made
by the King's Advocate that no opposition would be
off,red, the details of the facts exhibited in the libel were
