BRIGHTON AND CONTINENTAL

STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.

-----
A meeting of the proprietors was called for Saturday,
but there was not a sufficient number of members in at-
tendance to constitute a legal assembly.
The Hon. Captain HOTHAM, by whom the chair was
taken, having announced that fact to the proprietors in
attendance, intimated that, in consequence thereof, they
could not proceed with the business for which they were
convened. The board of directors wore prepared with
a report for the information of the proprietors, the sub-
stance of which he would briefly state. They had
been unable to induce the Brighton Railway Company

concerns of the company as speedily as possible. The
boats had been sold, and the directors hoped in a few
days to be in a position to clear off all claims upon the
company, and then they would divide the balance re-
maining amongst the proprietors.
After this statement from the chairman, it was further
intimated by a director, in reply to a question from a
proprietor, that no further call would be made on those
parties who had paid up 81. on the calls; but, on the
contrary, as already announced by the chairman, it was
hoped there would be a balance to be returned to them.

The meeting was then adjourned to Friday, the 10th
of August.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]
CHOLERA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—May we ask whether the College of Physicians
has been removed to Printing House-square? What
have doctors been about during the last twenty years
that they have come to no fixed treatment in cholera.
We see almost daily in the Times pretended specifics
against cholera. Is this done, pray, to throw as much
confusion as possible over the question, in order that the
guinea trade may thrive? Oh! oh! the guinea trade.
We have only further to say, that when brisk doses of
No. 2 Morison's Pills were given to (patients attacked
with cholera in 1832, the complaint did not reach the
second stage; this was proved not in one or two cases,
but in hundreds.

We are, Sir, your obedient servants,
The Members of the British College of Health,
New-road, London, July 24, 1849.

ALARMING OCCURRENCE.—Last evening, shortly
before eight o'clock, during the celebration of Vespers
at the Roman Catholic Chapel, formerly a coach factory,
Charles-street, Drury-lane, the chapel being excessively
crowded, and a great number of persons, principally
children, standing on the gallery stairs, unable to obtain
room in the body of the chapel, a very strong smell of
gas became perceptible, and almost simultaneously a
loud cracking, as if some portion of the building was
giving way, was heard. A cry of " fire" was raised by

gallery staircase gave way with a frightful crash—up-
wards of 200 individuals being upon it. The ministers
from the altar exhorted to calmness, and in some mea-
sure allayed the fears of those present. In the mean
time persons set to work to clear away the rubbish,
when 40 individuals were extricated, 10 of whom were
conveyed to King's College Hospital, and beyond hopes
of recovery. The remainder of the people were extri-
cated by ladders.
ARRIVAL 01' THE PRINCE DI CANINO AT BRIGHTON.
—Le Phenix, a French war steamer, arrived off Brighton
from Havre, on Saturday evening, and about nine o'clock
put off a boat, which landed a passenger at the pier head.
Mr. P. Black, the French Consul, being aware of the
fact of the vessel's arrival off the town, was on the pier,
and introduced himself to the passenger, who was a
gentleman of about 45 years of age, and who conversed
with him in a very lively and affable manner. In reply
to Mr. Black's inquiry if he (Mr. Black) could render
him any assistance, be replied no—that he was going on
immediately to London, and only wanted his luggage
passed by the Custom-house. The chief officer ot Cus.
toms now arrived, and it being necessary for the stranger
to give his name, he for the first time stated it to be
Charles Bonaparte, adding that if they wanted to see his
passport be bad plenty of them—as many as they liked.
The officer replied that he did not require to see it, and
the niece di Canino hereupon exclaimed with much
heartiness, " Thank God, 1 am in a country of real
liberty, where passports are not wanted." lie after-
wards exclaimed, in the course of conversation, that " the
present French Government was the most execrable that
could be conceived." Tho Prince's luggage was soon
examined and passed, and he left the pier for an hotel,
where he remained the night, and left early on Sunday
morning forLondon.—Brighton Herald.
The new writ for Reading was forwarded from
the Speaker's office last night to the returning officer of
the borough, and the election will take place on Thurs-
L day or Friday neat.—Weehly Chronicle.
