and the PORTE, the National strongly urges the French
Government to declare for the independence of the PACHA.
The reasons for this advice, upon which we abstain from
offering any comment, are thus summed up in a para-
graph :
" Mehemet Alli has detached at least two magnificent provinces
from the tottering monarchy of the Osrnanlis, or rather from the de-
vouring ambition of the Northern autocrat. Egypt and Syria, in which
the Vieetoy and Ibrahim may be said to have merely a life interest, will
be exposed to all the perils of anarchy after the death of those two pow-
erful personages, who will have no political descendants. But will
France allow this newly-created empire to be consumed in intestine
warfare, or again to fall under the dominion of the Porte, or, in other
terms, under the yoke of the Autocrat ? The neighbourhood of Tou-
lon, the possession of Corsica and Algiers, give to France, with regard
to Alexandria and Cairo, advantages nearly equal to those which Russia
possesses with respect to Constantinople. France, therefore, ought to
watch over Egypt, and the neighbouring regions, as over a succession
which Providence and the wishes of mankind may one day adjudge to her
civilizing genius."

The latest atlvices from Madrid are of the 27th, but they
bring no news of interest. General ALAIX, of whose more-
ments we have had no accounts for several months, de-
feated a Carlist column near Aois on the 21st ult., and
made four hundred of the rebels prisoners. General
PARDINAS has been ordered to-coperate with NAavarz
in La Mancha. The Carlists lost five hundred men at
Penacerrada, exclusive of one thousand made prisoners.
The Senate has adopted the Government Tithe Bill by a
majority of 59 against 29 votes.

Brussels and German Papers have been received this
morning, from which the following are extracts :
HIMBURGTI, JULY 2.—The Russian papers received by the steam-
boat from Petersburg, say nothing of the departure of the Emperor,
who seems not to have left Peterhoff. These papers contain nothing of
importance.

His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexander, who was ex.
pected here this evening, will not arrive as we hear before the sth or 6th.
BRUSSELS, JULY 3.—The average prices of Wheat and Rye, in the
week ending on Saturday, June 30, were—Wheat, '2lf. 26c.; Rye,
12f. 27c. per hectolitre. Wheat is therefore still exempt from import
duty; that on Rye remains at 21f. 50e. per 1,000 kilogrammes. His
Majesty will be back at Brussels by the breaking up of the first camp at
Beverloo.

VIEMNA, JuNa 26.—His Majesty's letters patent have just been pub-
lished, announcing that he has been graciously pleased, and, as a testi-
mony of his especial favour and regard, to signify to the worthy inhabi-
tants of Tyrol and Voralberg, that he has resolved to receive their
homage in person, on the 12th of August this year, at Inspruck, and
thereby to afford them a fresh opportunity of confirming the loyalty and
fidelity of which they have given such splendid proofs, amidst the
storms of the most disastrous tunes, and under the hardest trials. The
respective deputies of Tyrol and Voralberg are therefore summoned to
appear on that day, to take the oath of allegiance, for themselves and
their constituents.—Frankfort papers, July 1.
A Wirtemburg journal contains the following, under date of Tubin-
gen, June 15 :--" The arrival of H. Ewald, one of the seven professors
exiled from Gottingen, has caused great excitement in our University.
The burgher horse-guard proposed to meet and escort him into the town,
but the
_police forbade any public demonstrations. The day after his
arrival the students assembled in front of his hotel, and made the air
resound with their acclamations. Yesterday was fixed for the first lec-
ture of M. Ewald, but the University was in such commotion that the
hour was necessarily changed three times. At length the professor
took the chair, and was received with a thunder of applause which shook
the walla. He was deeply affected by this cordial welcotw."

LONDON AND GREENWICH RAH,-
WAY-NIEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS.
(THIS DAY.)

A special general meeting of the Shareholders of this
Company was held at the City of London Tavern, at one
o'clock this day, Mr. Money in the chair. The attendance
was very numerous and highly respectable.
The CHAIRMAN said he was glad to see so numerous a
meeting, although it would have been more gratifying
if it had been delayed until the completion of the
work, which would shortly take place. Some gentle-
men, however, were of a different opinion, and presented
the requisition in consequence of which the present meeting
had been called. If the Directors had been disposed to take
any advantage, they might have done so, because the requisi-
tion was not a legal one. It was desirable before the
business proceeded further, that the meeting should hear the
requisition read, together with the names of the gentlemen
who had signed it, and he therefore called upon the Secretary
to read it.

The SECRETARY accordingly proceeded to read the requi-
sition, desiring the Directors to call a meeting, in order to
consider the present position of the Company, and if necessary
to appoint from among the Proprietors, whether Directors or
not, a Committee for the purpose of giving the Directors such
instructions as might be expedient, in order that the objects of
the Company might be effected as rapidly and beneficially as
possible, and to paFs such resolutions as might be deemed
desirable to secure the success of the Company.
Some opposition was made to the reading of the names, on
the ground that it would be a waste of time ; but eventually
they were read.
The SECRETARY then, at the request of the Chairman, read
a report of the present state of the works.
The CHAIRMAN thought the report perfectly: satisfac-
tory, and then called on the Secretary to lay the accounts be-
fore the Meeting, which he considered equally satisfactory.
A SHAREHOLDER enquired if the statement was pre-
pared for the present Meeting, or if it was the balance in the
bank in June ?

The CHAIRMAN replied that it had been prepared for the
meeting.

The—account was then read, which entered considerably
into detail.

The CHAIRMAN said it appeared from the statement of
the accounts and the works together, that, with a small

would be in a prosperous and lucrative position.
Since_ the last meeting he had not pursued any...course
that proceeded from any other motive than to pro-
mote the interests of the Shareholders.—( Hear, bear.) He
hoped that all personalities would be avoided—( Hear)—and
that the meeting would unite to brinc, to a successful issue this
grand work. He would have all the funds in the hands of
the bankers. He would have no stock jobbing with this single
exception, that if there were any difficulty in disposing of the
property of the concern for the benefit of the work, and he should
then have no objection to give a small commisson for pro-
ducing money. Ile would not dispose of a farthing of the
Company's money in a way in which he would not dispose of
his own.—( Hear.) Now as to the specific mode of carry-
ing on the work. The work should be carried on by officers
who ought to be liberally remunerated, but who ought
to do the work.—( Hear.) That the Directors should generally
superintend the works, and if they had not been properly
done, have the power of dismissing the parties who had not
discharged their duty properly.—( Hear, hear.) Had that
course been taken, it would have been better for the concern.
( Hear, hear.) If the majority of this meeting were of
opinion that the principles which he had laid down were erro-
neous, he was no longer fit to be their Chairman.—( Hear,
hear.) If, however, they should be of a different opinion, he
would proceed in this course, so long as he had the honour to
fill the offlce.—( Hear, hear.)
We shall give the conclusion in our
