OVERSEERS IN CITIES AND BOROUGHS.

Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the
Overseers in Cities and Boroughs Bill. This measure
was mainly intended to remove certain doubts which had
arisen as to the construc.ion of the existing statute re-
gulating the duties of those officers.
The Bill was read a second time and ordered to be
committed on Moultiy.

The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from the
Vest Riding, in Savour of the Clergymen's Relief Bill ;
also a petition, praying for the introduction of a cum-
prehenEive Public Health Bill.

Their Lordships then adjourned.

,ime and passed.
CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS.

Society Bill was considered and agreed to.
UNIVERSAL RAILWAY COMPENSATION.

The House then went into a Committee of the whole
House to consider a resolution which was to be the
foundation cf a Bill to enable the Universal _Railway
Casualty Compensation Company (imposition of a per-
centage, duty) to effect a composition with the Stamp-
office.

Mr. litimE and Mr. HENLEY thought it requisite that
some information should be given to the House before
proceeding- further.
Mr. SPOON ER said that the object of the measure
was to pay a per-tentage on the amount of insurances
effected in lieu of the stamp duty on each scuarate in-
surance, ss hich there would be great difficulty in doing
unless through a measure like the present.
The ::,,PEAKER (upon being called upon) said it was
absolutely necessary that a Committee of the whole
House should consider the resolution. Ile had therefore
advised the adoption of the prevent course.
After a short di: cussion the resolution was agreed to,
and a Bill founded upon it was ordered to be brought in.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

(From the Yates and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)

THURSDAY, MARCH 15.
LOCAL TAXATION.

Order read, for resuming adjourned debate on amendment
propose! to be made to Question (Bth March)," That the
whole of the local taxation of the Country for national pur-
poses, falls mainly, if not exclusively, on real property, and
bears with undue severity on the occupiers of land, in a
manner injurious to the agricultural interests of the conntry,
and otherwise highly impolitic and unjust :
" That the hardship of this apportionment is greatly aggra-
vated by the fact, that more than one-third of the Wilo:e
revenue derived from the Excise, is levied upon agricultural
produce, exposed, by the recent changes in the law, to direct
competition with the untaxed produce of fortign countries;
the home producer being thus subjected to a burden of taxa-
tion which, by greatly enhancing the price, limits the-de-
mand for British produce; and to restrictions, which inju-
riously interfere with the conduct of his trade and industry :
" That this House will resolve itself into a Committee, to
take into its serious consideration such measures as may re-
move the grievances of which the owners and occupiers of
real property thus justly complain, and which may establish
a more equitable apportionment cf the public burdens:"
And which amendment was to leave out from the first word
" That" to the end of the Question, in order to add the words
"if the local taxation of the country presses unequally on
real property, or bears with undue severity on the occupiers
of land, such inequality and undue pressure ought to be re-
moved; but, with the view of granting speedy relief to the
agricultural and other interests of the country, without de-
triment to the claims of the national creditors, it is the
opinion of this House that the public expenditure, now ex-
cessive, ought to be forthwith reduced so as to enable Par-
liament to repeal total)y the Excise duties on malt and hops;
and to remove, as far as -practicable, other burdens which
impede the progress of agriculture and of commercial in-
dustry," instead thereof: Question again proposed, " That
the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MARCH 11.—A very numerous deputa-
tion, consisting of the members of the communal
council and the magistrates, had the honour of wait-
ing upon his Majesty, the Emperor, at Olmutz, and
of presenting an address in the name of the city, en-
treating his Majesty to visit and take up his residence
in the city of Vienna. His Majesty received the
deputation with much kindness, and addressed them
as follows :

The sentiments expressed by me in my proclama-
tion of the 4th of this month, were justified by the
confidence which it reposes in the fidelity and loyalty
of the people of Austria. May the Almighty endow
me with the strength to carry them out to a
happy issue, for that is the object and whole aim
of my life. I trust from the statements which you
have made of the feelings of the inhabitants of
Vienna, that I shall be able, as soon as'possible, to re-
pair to their midst.

The Wiener Zeitung of this day contains an offi-
cial notification from Count Chorinskij, Imperial
President of Lower Austria, that high mass will be
performed in the Metropolitan Church, and the " Te
Deum" performed, as a public thanksgiving for the
granting of the Constitution.

A It I A E.
M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
,:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
coroprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound snore sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

RUSSIA.

The Concordia has a letter from Petersburg of the
23d ult., asserting that the Russo-Austrian alliance
is based on the following stipulations :—A marriage
between the Emperor of Austria and the Grand
Princess Anne ; an offensive and defensive alliance ;
the reception of Turkey into this alliance; the main•
tenance of the treaties of 1815 ; a guarantee for the
claims of Russia on the duchies of Schleswig and

A SCENE ON THE LIVERPOOL EXCHANGE.—
Yesterday, the quietude which usually prevails, even
during business hours, on 'Change, at Liverpool, was dis-
turbed by a circumstance of somewhat rare occurrence.
An agent, extensively engaged, and whose place of business
is not 100 miles from John-street. was observed suddenly
to give a "gentleman" of questionable appearance " leg
bail." All eyes were at once directed to the pursuit
which soon commenced ; the agent ran round Nelson's
Monument, hotly pursued by the other. The chase
continued for some @ time, at last the gentleman
broke cover and darted across the flags, " dodged" for
some time round the pillars of the piazzas, but was at
last run down by the eager hound, who turned out to be
a limb of the law, in the shape of a sheriff's officer, and
who conducted his prey quietly to a sponging-house.—
Liverpool Mercury of Friday.
SERIOUS COLLISION AT SEA.—A collision, which
resulted in loss of life to one person, and serious injury
to others, took place on Saturday afternoon last off this
port. It appears that the pilot of the ship Eliza,
with five other persons, including two women, left
that vessel in a punt betonging to the steam-tug
Defiance, which was lying about six miles
outside the Bell-buoy, waiting to receive them.
Before they got on board, however, an American ship,
the Charles Carroll, approached the steamer to leeward,
under full sail, there being a fine breeze from the N. W.,
and sti uck her amidships, smashing tho boat to atoms,
killing one poor fellow, a rigger, and much injuring his
wife, who remained fully half an hour in the water,
clinging to the remains of the boat, before the steamer,
in its crippled state, could pick her up. She is now
lying ill the Northern livspitill.--Liverpoo/ Mercury.

lIANDEL.

In ono of my previous " Memoranda" I recorded a
little incident relating to Dr. Morel!, who, as I have
said, supplied Handel with the libretto of his oratorios.
Although they were the best of friends, the Doctor once
had very nearly offended the erascible German beyond
hope of forgiveness. It was thus on ono occasion the
former took the liberty to suggest to Handel in the most
deferential manner that the music he had set to some
lines was ill adapted thereto and quite opposite to their
meaning. Instead of accepting this friendly hint from
ono who, though no Pinder, was nevertheless a better
judge of poetry than the musician, in a like spirit,
Handel became highly indignant, looking upon the advice
as insulting to his talents, and finally cried out with all
the violence of affronted amour propre," Vaatl you teach
me moosik? Do moosik be good moosik! Dom your
words. 1 here (running his fingers over his harpsichord),
here be my idea, go you make vord to de.atl"

ADELPHI THEATRE.

After the successful drama of The Hop Pickers, a new
and original farce was produced under the title of
Who lives at No. 9? The story turns upon the prying
curiosity of Mr. Deeply Dive (Wright), an eccentric and
remarkably silly gentleman, who lodges, with his wife
(Miss Ellen Chaplin), at a certain No. 9, and happens to
overhear some details of a love story, which has evident
relation to a person residing in the same house. He
forthwith sets about a close examination of facts, with
the intention of finding out to which of his fellow-
lodgers the tale refers, cross-questioning the servant,
the lodgers themselves, and even the visitors, whom he
stops in the street, but without eliciting the desired
infermation. The real heroine of the mystery is his
own wife, which, had Mr. Deeply Dive been given
to dive less deeply, he could hardly fail to have dis-
covered at once. He is so thoroughly absorbed, how-
ever, with his profound research, that he overlooks facts
which at•e close under his eyes, and suspecting every
party but the right one, becomes the bearer of a billet
dour addressed to his wife by her former lover. The
audience, almost from the beginning, are acquainted
with the absolute state of the case, but Dive is
kept in darkness, until the fall of the curtain behind
him unexpectedly cuts short investigation, at a very
critical moment. Out of this arises the tag, an address
to the audience in which Mr. Wright complains of
so sudden an interruption to his inquiries, absolving
himself from all blame in the matter, when he is
again arrested by the descent of another cur-
tain, which bides him altogether from the spectators.
The acting of Wright was inimitably quiet and humour-
ous; Liston himself could not have been more stolidly
unsophisticated ; every point told, and the roars of
laughter were incessant. The main interest, of course,
rests with the mystification of Mr. Dive, but a lady in
the second floor, violently addicted to grouse, an an
cient dame in the parlours who has a quarrel every day
with the milkman (exceedingly well acted by Mrs.
Lawes), and a mysterious gentleman with a cloak and
mustachioes, are vastly amusing personages, and are
ingeniously mixed up with the anxieties of the hero.
The catastrophe is quite new, and as amusing as it is
unanticipated. The farce, which scarcely exceeds three
quarters of an hour in performance, was completely
successful, and Mr. Wright's brief request for leave to
present it every night until further notice was received
with unmingled approbation.

FRANKFORT.

Advices from Frankfort have been received to the
25th. The ARCHDUKE had not succeeded in forming
a new Ministry.

HOLLAND.

On the 25th, the corps diplematique at the Hague
waited on the King of HOLLAND, when the Englisk
Ambassador, in their name, addressed their condo-
lence to his MAJESTY, and expressed a hope for
the prosperity and glory of his reign. The KING
replied—
" Gentlemen,--I see with gratitude the attention of
the corps diplematique in waiting on me, under circum-
stances doubly grave by the death of the King, my father,
and by my ascension to the throne. Your congratula-
tions are naturally modified by grief. I need not tell you
how much I share this grief and your just regrets; you
are witnesses of the sorrow of the country and the tears
of my family. You who know the love of the country
for the King, my father, can appreciate the regrets of
the country, and our consternation. The friendship of
the powers will be one of the best guarantees for the ac-
complishment of the wishes which you express for the
happiness of my reign. In treading in the steps of the
King, my father, and supported by the love of the people
of the Netherlands, Providence will, I hope, bless my ef-
forts for the welfare of my country. Gentlemen, I thank
you for your noble proceeding in the name of the coun-
try and in the name of my family."
A letter from the Hague of the 24th says:—
"About 2,000 citizens of this capital have resolved to
render the last honours to our late KING by accom-
panying his remains from Tilburg, where his MA-
JESTY died, to the royal tomb at Delft, in South
Ilollatid. WILLIAM 11. an-acted by his will that his
body should not be laid on a bed of state at the
Hague, as has been the usage for the Princes of the
Royal Family of Holland, but that it should be trans-
ferred without any pomp from Tilburg, by Rotter-
dam, to Delft."

BINSKI had taken Pesth by assault. GOBGEY, who
had previously taken possession with his army of the
heights of Raab, marches as his advanced guard on
Vienna, which DEMBINSKI proposes to occupy very
soon. In Bohemia they expect a formidable revolu-
tionary explosion every moment, particularly on the
part of the oppressed peasantry, who are anxious to
light up a civil war. Prague has just been declared
in a state of siege. This intelligence requires con-
firmation.

This intelligence is, we are afraid, too good to be true.
The intelligence from Transylvania (intelligence re-
ceived from Vienna and from Austrian sources) is
very cheering. BM& has again completely out-
manoeuvred his antagonists. After the battle of
Mediask PucnsEß imagining that BEM would at
tempt to invade the Bukowina, directed all his atten-
tion towards that district. BEat, however, cleverly
turned his flank, and at the head of 12,000 men and
with a large train of artillery, appeared before
Hamannstadt. He immediately assaulted the city, and
after a furious battle with the Russians, who were in
garrison there, be ornpletely defeated them, got
possession of HertatUuntadt, levied large contributions,
seized the magazines of 111111iranition and provisions,
and having dismantled the place, evacuated it before
PUCISNER could retrace his steps.
The bombardment of Comorn still continues, but
out of 200 bombs which have been directed against
the fortress only one has produced any effect.
VIENNA, MARCH 23.—The Archbishop of GRAN,
Prince Primate of Hungary, has placed the sum of
8,000 guilders at the disposal of Field-Marshal Prince
WINDISCIIGRATZ, to be appropriated to the good
cause of the restoration of legal order and of putting
down insurrection.

Prince \VINDIscuGRATz has now joined the army
which is besieging Comorn, where the operations are
being carried on with great activity.— Wiener Zeitung.
F AM, MARCH 9.—Letters from Hermann-
stadt and Cronstadt assert that the danger of a fresh
attack from Hungary upon these cities is happily over,
for BEM, on hearing of the victorious approach
of Field-Marshal Sc lILICY towards Transyl-
vania, found it necessary to fall back upon
Klansenburg. The danger of a hostile invasion
into Bukowina is, however, greater than ever. It
is strange that the faithful and valiant Romani, as
the youthful EMPEROR designates them, constitutes
the chief proportion of the population, and have
offered to send an army of 200,000 men into the field,
have not been armed, nor have their services been
accepted. The addresses of homage and the petition
of all the Romani of the Austrian empire, as well
as the very gracious reply of the EMPEROR, are
historical documents which prove the actual senti-
ments entertained by that portion of his MAJESTY'S
subjects.—A4esseine Zeitung, March 26.

Indian mail. Her dates of sailing were—Alexandria,
March 10; Malta, March 15; and Gibraltar, March 21.
The Ripon experienced strong north-easterly winds

valued at 35,000/., and a valuable cargo of merchandize,
consisting of 93 bales of silk, 34 cases tusks 30 cases
dates, 13 eases poppies, 25 boxes oranges, and 50 packages
of sundries.

Her Majesty's steam-ship Janus was at Gibraltar.
On the 20th March, 120 miles north of Gibraltar, took
from a Greek brig Captain nePhail and the crew (13
in number) of the British barque Town of Drogheda,
which vessel they had abandoned, having broken her
rudder. She was afloat with the Greek brig lying by
her, when the Ripon received her crew. It had been
blowing very strong from the westward for two days
previously.

One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
,opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
-once of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
-Ater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
f.o:nprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
cod social content. The dorw.-y should not be the only marriage set-
lement. Honour and justice demand tkat health sheuldform an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

REVOLUTION IN LIGHT-GOOD NEWS.
What Lights are these? Visions of by-gone times, but now
realities—The Diamond Lamp is perfect—lts equal is unknown.
The Diamond Light for India is tranquil amid the draught of the

—The Pearl Candle Lamp is worth a hundred other Candle Lamps—
All who desire the best of Lights can obtain them only here—The

TURKISH MUSICAL GOUT.

I remember reading in the work of some modern tra-
veller the following amusing anecdote:—The orchestra
of an English ambassador at Constantinople was per-
forming a grand concert for the entertainment—pity not
for the enlightenment—of the august Sultan and his
Court: at its conclusion the Kalif was requested to spe-
cify which of the pieces he preferred. " The first!" was
the reply, which was accordingly recommenced by the
band, but stopped incontinently, as not being the correct
one. Others were tried with as little success, till the
orchestra, having played the whole selection over again,
was almost in despair of finding the favourite air. In
this state of uncertainty, and while they awaited further
commands, the performers began tuning their instru-
ments, when his Highness exclaimed instantly, with every
manifestation of delight, "Inshallah ! Heaven be praised,
that is it!"

AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL
COMPANY.
INCORPORATED BY ROYAL CHARTER, A.D. 1824.

OFFICE,V 12,v KING'S -ARMS-YARD, MOOIIGATE-STREET,

LONDON.
J. S. BROWNRIGG, Esq., Governor, Ashford, Chertsey, Surrey.
A. W. BLANE, Esq. Deputy-Governor, Salt-hill, Berks.
The Australian Agricultural Company, after having for the last
20 years confined its operations to cultivating and grazing estates
(comprising 1,000,000 acres), which were selected with great care in
New South Wales, has determined in offering for sale or lease all that
portion containing 500,000 acres situated near the excellent harbour
of Port Stephne (100 miles from Sydney, and its 50,000 inhabitants).
This estate is bounded by the river Manning, intersected by other
streams, and provided with roads and bridges, which have been con-
structed by the Company at a cost of many thousand pounds. Also
churches and schools. A resident clergyman, schoolmaster, and
surgeon are paid by the Company, for the benefit of their servants.
Farms and Vineyards, which have been long in cultivation, with
excellent homesteads attached, will be offered for Sale at Twenty
Years' purchase on the estimated annual value. The uncultivated
land will be sold in lots of 50 acres and upwards, at 11. per acre ;
each 501. paid in England entitling the purchaser to a choice, and a
free passage, in one of the Company's ship', to Port Stephen. Each
lot will include a right of pasturage for stock on adjoining land at
a low poll tax. The company are willing to lease land for ten years.
with a right of purchase of £1 per acre during that term. They are
also able to offer cattle, horses, and fine weaned sheep, of the purest
breeds, on advantageous terms. Cuttings, plants, and seeds, may
be obtained from the Company's gardens, orchards, and vineyards.
Purchasers, immediately on landing at Port Stephen, will be re-
ceived by the agents of the Company—forwarded to the agricultural
district, about 20 miles—and allowed to occupy buildings belonging
to the Company at a trifling rent for a reasonable period.
Further information may be obtained on application to the secre-
tary, George Engstrom, Esq., 12, King's Arms-yard, London.
