TOURNAY TO JURBISE AND LANDEN TO

HASSELT.

The report of the directors states that the negotiations
entered into with the Belgian Government and the Aix-
la-Chapelle and Maestricht Railway Company for the
construction of a branch line between Hasselt and
Maestricht have been brought to a satisfactory conclu-
sion. The Aix-la-Chapelle and Maestricht Company
engages to construct at its exclusive cost, and also to
work, the section from Hasselt to Maestricht. This will
have the effect of changing the Landen and Hasselt line
into a trunk line, and to double its receipts without im-
posing any burden on the shareholders. The Maestricht
company takes upon itself all the obligations of the
Belgian Government as regards the management, main-
tenance, and working of the Landen and Hasselt line.
They also undertake to construct any new works or
stations that may be required on the Landen and Hasselt
line, which has been constructed as a single line both as
regards the land and works. The contract with the
Government gives the company the guarantee that, in
the event of the failure of the Maestricht company, from
any cause whatsoever, the Belgian Government will re-
sume the working of the line on the same conditions as
hitherto. The net revenue from the Landen and
Hasselt line has heretofore been about 100,000 f. per
annum, but by the new arrangement it is estimated
that it will be more than doubled. The grass
receipts of the Tournay and Jurbise and Landen
and Hasselt lines during the first half-year of 1853
amounted to 417,882 f., of which 50 per cent., or
208,941 f. accrues to the company, being about 7 per
cent. more than the amount at the corresponding period
of 1852. There seems a probability of the continuance
of this increase, as the July receipts show an advance
of 25 per cent, on those of July, 1852. The sum re-
maining to distribute among the shareholders amounts
to 188,000 f., or 6s. per share. The dividend of the cor-
responding period of 1852 was but ss. 6d. The divi-
dend will be Ipaid early in October.

DEDICATION. —" The Author or this work is dead. The care of
putting it through the press is mine. And to the people of England
it is dedicated ; because it exhibits faction frustrating a great man's

Great Empire unwisely committed to their misgoveinment."—W. F.

Mr. W. COORS feels the greatest pleasire in announcing that the
Grand Mythological Burlesque Spectacle each Night increases in

nightly flock to the Amphitheatre with their younger branches to
witness the astounding and classical effects introduced in this un-
rivalled production. In order to keep up the uninterrupted chain
of novelty, an engagement has been entered into with Signor
CARLOTTI and Signor FRANCOIS, who will introduce their

the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in 1831-2, the
number of deaths was 197.

The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea, in Gateshead to the present date has been 306. During
the same period, viz., the first 19 days in 1831-2, the
deaths amounted to 131.
Nine more medical visitors have been requested by the
Medical Superintending Inspector of the General Board
of Health. They have been instructed by the Board to
leave town forthwith for the districts affected.

SANATORY IMPROVEMENTS IN LAMBETH..—The Com-
missioners of the Paving Board of the extensive and
densely-populated parish of Lambeth, have at length
commenced a most excellent mode of draining the various
side streets leading out of the principal thoroughfares.
Many of the side streets, leading especially out of the
Waterloo-road, and the neighbourhood of the New-cut
localities, where the cholera raged during the last visita-
tion ; although the drainage was good, yet the streets,
not being properly formed, allowed the surplus water,
after heavy showers, to remain in front of the inhabi-
tants' houses for several days. In hot weather, the
effluvia arising from the stagnant water was unpleasant
and dangerous, and the Commissioners have commenced
paving the streets in a novel way, forming a small con-
duit in the centre of the roadway, and the sides of the
road being slightly raised, the water is now effectually
carried off, which must prove a great boon to the whole
of the parishioners, especially at such a time as the pro-
sent, when we are threatened by another visitation of
cholera.

THE QUEEN'S YACHT.

PORTSMOUTH, TIIESDAY.—Her Majesty's yacht Vic-
toria and Albert is still being dismantled ; but it is now
discovered that, even if lengthened the 63 feet ordered,
the requisite accommodation will not be obtained. This
was arrived at on a consultation over the plans for altera-
tion (brought down yesterday from the Amiralty by
Captain Crispin), which were inspected this morning at
the master shipwright's-cffice by a committee of officers,
comprising Captain Crispin, Mr. Baker, inspector of
machinery and chief engineer of the Royal yacht ; Mr.
Murray, superintending engineer of this dockyard :
Mr. Abethell, the master shipwright, &c. So mattes
will remain in abeyance as to the actual cutting until the
final opinion of the Admiralty is issued.—Times.
The spoilation has commenced. The funnel and boilers
have been taken out of her, and she has this day hauled
over to the factory side to have her engines taken out,
after which she will haul into No. 9 dock for the final
tragedy. The blocks have been raised in the fore part
of the dock upwards of eight feet, to allow for her extra
length, which is purposed to be 265 feet. The gilt orna-
ments have been taken off, and the bowsprit got ashore
this afternoon. She now presents a sightless and tender
hull ; what she will be after having been " chloroformed"
to undergo her terrible operation we are not prepared to
say. We shall, at all events, watch the patient daily,
and see if she sinks under it. But we yet hope for a
change of treatment.—Morning Herald.

THE MOST CERTAIN PREVENTION OF CHOLI iRA EVER

DISCOVERED.
THE BEST and CHEAPEST DISIN-
FECTIN:i FLUID is CREW'S IMPROVED (IILORIDE
of ZINC, for the purification of Dwelling-houses. Stable e, Dog Ken -
nels, Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, water-closets, &c. ; the Disin-
fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the P revention of
Contagion.

Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifyil ig agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it hps
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal apnlication as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public orith concen-
trats d Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the "lowest price.
It Is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the I7nited King-
dom, in rmperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each ; in pin ts, is. ; half
pints, 6d. each ; and in larger vessels at 6s. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
end use. Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity of water.

that the question of Marshal Narvaez has been

rals which had formed part of the Moderate Oppo-

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.
The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's
mail packet Indiana, Capt. Lambert, arrived this
morning. Her dates are—Calcutta, July 15 ;
Mauritius, Aug. 7 ; Table Bay, 20 ; St. Helena,
29 ; Ascension, Sept. 2 ; St. Vincent's, 10 ; and
Vigo, 25.
At the Mauritius, sugars were making five dols.
per 1001bs. Freights, 3/. 3s. to England.
The Sydney emigrant ship was lost at Carmo-
niers Point, on the 12th of July ; crew and passen-
gers saved.
Affairs continue tranquil at the Cape. The
Gaikas and Kreli have fulfilled the stipulations im-
posed on them at the end of the war. Any sudden
diminution of the troops would, in the opinion of
the colonists, be followed by fresh outbreaks. The
commerce of the Cape is daily increasing, and the
constitution has given a full sense of security.
At the Cape—The Meander, Dart, and Hydra.
The Bosphorus, from England, was daily expected.

THE BIRMINGHAM GAOL CRUELTIES.

A meeting was held in the Town-hall of Birmingham,
on Tuesday, to protest against the justices appointing
another governor and surgeon to this gaol.
Such a hall has not been seen for years. From seven
until eleven every inch of space was occupied, and a
crowd surrounded the building.
Mr. George Edmonds, the clerk of the peace, presided.
Mr. Alderman Laroden, several town councillors, and
the leading clergy of the establishment were present.
Great excitement prevailed, and some degree of exas-
peration was caused by reason of the refusal of the
mayor to grant the use of the hall, which was subse-
quently obtained by other means.
Amongst the resolutions passed unanimously was one
to the effect, that the meeting viewed with feelings of
indignation 1 • the horrible system of cruelty and oppres-
sion which had been carried on at the gaol, with the
implied sanction of the visiting justices, and the meeting
expressed its strong disapprobation of such inhuman
treatment, also expressed a hope that the people of
England would acquit the people of Birmingham of any
participation of these barbarities.
Also a subsequent resolution, moved by Mr. Coun-
cillor Aliday, the visiting justices were declared to have
entirely forfeited the confidence of the people of Bir-
mingham, and the meeting solemnly protested against
these justices participating in the appointment of an-
other governor and other officers of the prison.
A gentleman, partner of one of the justices, attempted
to move a counter resolution. He made some remarks,
amidst a torrent of disapprobation, and finally gave way
with the simple expression of his dissent, he being the
only person who did dissent in the vast assembly.
The Rev. G. S. BULL moved a vote of thanks to Lord
Palmerston, which was carried by acclamation, as was
also the following resolution :—" That this meeting is
of opinion that the appointment of a stipendiary magis-
trate for the borough would greatly facilitate the proper,
orderly, and impartial discharge of magisterial business,
and would tend to inspire the inhabitants of this great
and important town with a confidence in the administra-
tion of the criminal and especially judicial decisions and
summary convictions, which the borough justices do not
at present possess."
The immense crowd departed quietly at 11 o'clock.

CAMP AT OLMUTZ.

BERLIN, SEPT. 24.--4.8 our military readers
may not be indifferent to the amount of men
which the Emperor of Austria has concentrated at
Olmutz for the field exercises that commenced yes-
terday, and will terminate on the 27th, the follow-.
ing details will not be without interest. These
troops consist of two corps d'armee, a reserve

General of Cavalry Count Sehlick—names that
bring the mind back to the days of Wallenstein,
and to those of the Bohemian struggles. In speak-
ing of armee corps, it • may be observed that the
Austrian military force is divided into four grand
armies, each composed of from 1 (Galicia and
Bukowina) to 4or 5 armee corps. The troops con-
centrated near Olmutz belong to the first army,
of which the head qaarters of corps are at Vienna,
Prague, Brunn, and Gratz ; whilst the second
army occupies Lombardy and Venice ; the third
Hungary and Transylvania • and the fourth
Galicia and the Bukowina ; forming altogether a
force of 416 battalions ; 318 k squadrons, and 135
battalions, with 1,140 field-pieces, including a
rocket division ; or a total of 592,845 men of all
descriptions. Of these, 457,498 are bayonets, of
which 32,534 are Jager, and .66,996 sabres and

A SAILOR'S GRATITUDE. —A seaman named Black was
last week discharged from the Leander, 50, W. V. King,
the lucky fellow having come into a fortune, it is said, of
60,0001. During the fitting of the ship, and since his
inmate
return to this port, Jack was frequently an of
the excellent establishment the Devonport Sailors'
Home, and, being not less wayward than others of his
class, Lieutenant Barnard, the master, had frequent oc-
casion to place the sailor under restrictions as to his
expenditure, and this saved him from the waste of his
hard earnings, for which, in his reasonable moments, he
was always thankful. On hearing of his good fortune,
Jack proceeded to his friend at the Home, announced
the fact, and solicited Lieutenant Barnard to become his
future guide, and protector of his money, offering him,
at the same time, command of a yacht, which it was his
determination to keep, with a salary of 500/. a-year.
The lieutenant hesitated, but, on Jack's earnestlyurging
his request, at last consented, stating, at the same time,
that he should be quite content with half the proffered
income if it were guaranteed for three years. A bargain
was at once struck, a lawyer brought, and a bond en-
tered into that the agreement might assume a legal form

but respected in every quarter of the globe. (Cheers.) At
the present moment we seem to be- somewhat in a ticklish
position in regard to our foreign relations, but of this I am
sure—that although the noble Lord is not now in that
exact situation of the Government in which I and many
others, I believe, in this country would wish to see him—
(much cheering)—his best services will not be wanting to
maintain, if possible, the peace, but certainly the honour
of this country in any arrang-ements which may be come
to. (Cheers.) The noble Lord has referred at some length
to a matter that has from a very early period received from
him great anxiety and attention—l mean the abolition of
the slave trade ; and I feel assured that, were there no
other trait in the character of the noble Lord than the
exertions he has made for the abolition of that hateful
trade, he would have received from the citizens of Glasgow
a cordial and hearty welcome. (Cheers.) I beg you will
join me in tendering to the Lord Provost, the Magistrates,
and Council, a cordial and united vote of thanks for the
great privilege which they have accorded to us in giving
us the opportunity of being present when such an honour
was paid to the Corporation and to the city by enrolling
Viscount Palmerston among our honorary burgesses.
The proposal of our honourable representative was hailed
by three distinct rounds of enthusiastic applause.
The LORD PROVOST—I thank you very sincerely in my
own name, and for the Magistrates and Council, for this
vote of thanks. I assure you I shall always look back to
this day as one of the proudest in my civic career--the day
, when Lord Palmerston not only visited this city, but did
us the great honour of accepting its freedom as an honorary
burgess. (Cheers.) It is a rare occurrence that we have
a man of his eminence among us j and we must all have
been gratified by this day's spectacle. (Loud cheers.)
Three cheers were then given for the Queen ; three for
the new Burgess ; three for Lady Palmerston ; three for
the Lord Provost and Magistrates, after which the im-
mense assemblage quietly separated.
Lord Palmerston then proceeded in the Lord Provost's
private carriage, accompanied by his lordship and the Hon.
Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., to visit the public works and
buildings.
The party shortly afterwards returned to the Council-
room, and partook of an elegant lunch.

CAMP AT OLMUTZ.

BERLIN, SEPT. 24.—As our military readers
may not be indifferent to the amount of men
which the -Emperor of Austria has concentrated at
Olmutz for the field exercises that commenced yes-
terday, and will terminate on the 27th, the follow-
ing details will not be without interest. These
troops consist of two corps d'armee, a reserve
corps, an d a division of cavalry, forming
altogether 8 divisions and 16 brigades—and
giving a total of 63 battalions, 74 squadrons,
126 field-pieces, and 4 sanitats (health or hospital)
companies:, or a general total of 40,500 men and.
12,800 horses. The whole are under the com-
mand of General of Cavalry Count Wratislaw, who
has under him, as commandants of corps, Lieut.-
Generals Count Glam-Gallas, Princes Edward and
Frederick Liechtenstein, Count Schaafgotsch, and
General o:f Cavalry Count Sehlick—names that
bring the mind back to the days of Wallenstein,
and to tho se of the Bohemian struggles. In speak-
ing of arir tee corps, it may be observed that the
Austrian r ailitary force is divided into four grand
armies, e 1 Loh composed of from 1 (Galicia and
Bukowina )to4 or 5 armee corps. The troops con-
centrated near Olmutz belong to the first army,
of which he head qaarters of corps are at Vienna,
Prague, ] 3runn, and Gratz • whilst the second
army occupies Lombardy and Venice • the third
Hungary and Transylvania • and the fourth
Galicia toad the Bukowina ; forming altogether a
force of 416 battalions ; 318 k squadrons, and 135
battalion s, with 1,140 field-pieces, including a
rocket di vision ; or a total of 592,845 men of
descripti( ms. Of these, 457,498 are bayonets, of
which 3: 3,534 are jager, and 66,996 sabres and
lances,

sition could suggest. The loss endured by the squadron
fortunately did not exceed 7 killed and 35 wounded;
yet some idea of the operations may be formed when it
is asserted that during the 23 days they lasted the ham-
mocks of the men were down but for two nights. The
issue, indeed, of the enterprise was stated by Sir Alex.
Cochrane to have surpassed his most sanguine expecta-
tions. Captain Gordon afterwards accompanied the ex-
pedition against New Orleans, and throughout all its de.
tails afforded, as officially recorded, his unwearied and
cheerful assistance to Rear Admiral Poulteney Malcolm.
The importance of his services met a just reward, on
Jan. 2, 1815, by the conferrence upon him of the K.C.B.
His after appointments were—Nov. 7, 1815, and Oct.
24, 1816, to the Madagascar and Meander frigates, the
latter of which was all but lost off Orfordness, in Dec.,
1816 ; Jan. 11, 1819, to the Active, 46, employed on
the Halifax and Mediterranean stations ; and in July,
1832, to the superintendentship of Chatham Dockyard,
where he remained with his name part of the time on the
books of the Chatham yacht, until his promotion to flag.
rank, Jan. 10, 1837. He has been lieutenant governor
since July 1, 1840, of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich.
Sir James Alexander Gordon was presented by the
Board of Admiralty, in 1812, with a gold medal, de-
scriptive of the action off Lissa, to be worn with his
uniform in the usual manner; and he has been in the
receipt, since July 31 in that year, of a pension of 2001.
In 1817 he was presented with the freedom of Aber.
deen. He married, Aug. 27, 1812, the youngest daugk.
ter of John Ward, Esq., of Marlborough, Wiltshire,
by whom he had issue a son, the late Commander J. A..
Gordon, R.N."
