CHELTENHAM AND OXFORD.

CHELTENHAM, SATURDAY.—To-day the half-3r63rly
meeting of the proprietors of this company was ap-
pointed to be held at the offices of the company, but a
sufficient number of members not being iu attendance,
the meeting was necessarily adjourned sine die.
PORTBURI AND PIER COMPANY.

BRISTOL, FEB. 24. The half-yearly meeting of
shareholders in this undertaking was held this day at
the White Lion Hotel, and was numerously attended.
After a good deal of rather angry discussion,
Mr. J. BROWN proposed, " That the best thanks of
the meeting be presented to the directors for their past
services, and that they be most earnestly requested to
avoid all further liabilities on account of the company,
and to take all the steps in their power to wind up its
affairs, and with this view they be authorised to take
such steps as they might deem necessary to recover the
arrears of calls."

Mr. GIBBS seconded the resolution, which, after con-
siderable debate, was adopted; and the retiring directors
having been re-elected, the meeting broke up.

CORNWALL.

The fifth half-yearly crdinary meeting of the proprie-
tors of this company was held, pursuant to advertise-
ment, at the Town Hall, Truro, on the 23d February, J.
T. TY:iffy, Esq., in the chair.
The seal of the company having been affixed to the
register of the shareholders, W. H. Bond, Esq., the
secretary, was directed to read the report, which stated
that during the past half-year the directors had Limited
the expenses to such as were unavoidably necessary for
preserving the property and conducting the business of
the company, and had suspended the payment of interest
on the deposit and call paid up; and they recommended
that all claims for such interest should be suspended until
the resumption of the works.
The report was adopted, and after the necessary formal
business the meeting broke up.

GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Tuesday in the Merchants' Hall, Glasgow; Mr. W.
11. Craufutd in the chair.

The report stated that the traffic on the Dumfries
and Gretna (twenty-four miles), which was opened on
the 231 of A:gust last, was worked by the Glasgow and
Ayr Company, and during the last five mouths 38,759
passengers have been carried. The traffic in minerals
and goods had commenced, and the cattle traffic pro-
mised to be large. An additional portion of line from
the vicinity of Dumfiies to Thornhill (twelve Julies in
length) is stated to be in a forward state, and will be
opened in four months, which will give a continuou,
line to Gretna of about thirty-six miles. In consequence
of the monetary difficulties of the country, the report
states no works have been carried on of any importance•
at the Drumlanrig tunnel. One contract at Sanquhar
of four miles, however, will soon be completed, and the
directors propose to let the remaining fourteen miles at
the earliest period.

ITALY.

Letters from Turin of the Isth inst. state that
the Chamber of Deputies had assembled in secret
committee to hear the explanation of the Ministry
relative to the peace concluded with Austria. The
IVlinister of the Interior had demanded the ap-
pointment of the secret committee, which was
declared by the Chamber to be urgent. The Minis-
ter declared that the treaty of peace contained
no secret cause. He then demanded of the Chamber
the funds necessary for the payment of the war in-
demnity fixed by the treaty at 75 millions of francs,
of which 40 are to be paid forthwith, and the re-
mainder within twenty months. The Chamber of
Deputies almost unanimously refused the supply
demanded. The Minister persevered in his demand,
adding that six days only were allowed for accepting
the treaty. The Chamber deferred its final decision
until the following day, when it was to meet in secret
committee.

a few partial grounds we may get 10 cwt. per acre.
Duty 65,0001.

WEST MALLING.—Some few grounds have im-
proved in appearance, where the burr has come into
hop and shows its€lf, while others look as black and
drooping as blight can make them, and not having
strength to force the burr. Mould is increasing. If
they are not much better at other places, we cannot
see how the present estimated duty is to be realised.
EAST MAILING.—We cannot report any percep-
tible improvement in the blighted grounds; but in
the more favoured gardens there is decidedly an im-
provement, No mould to notice.,
WROTHAAL—The hops present a very unfavourable
appearance in this parr, and there is not so much as
any appearance of burr on many of them.

BRENCHLEY.—Our hops continue very bad, with
the exception of a few favourite pieces. We shall not
average two pockets per acre.
YALDING.—Our hops are getting on favourably in
the good grounds, but the bad are past all recovery.
BIDDENDEN AND SMARDEN.—The hops are making
but slow progress. The bine is very short, and but
little burr. The hops come out slowly, the cold
nights being much against them. A bet has bean
made that Smarden will not average Li cwt. per
acre ; they have improved a little since the bet was
made.

EDENBRIDGE.—There is ft slight improvement
visible. The wind and cold nights are very much
against them, but still the burr i.T getting into hop.
nuasTaREEN.—We can quote no general impreve
ment in hops this week. Many seem to stand still
and not yet out into hop, while
.a few are improved,
and many get worse.

FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, AUG.
20.—The very best grounds are progressing pretty
favourably, but the hot days and cold nights do not
favour the blighted and backward plantations. Duty
for the district supposed to be over rated at 4,0001.;
last year it realised 12,9001.

says the duty is laid at 7,0001. to 8,0001.

TURKEY.

Advices from Constantinople state that the Russian
and Austrian Ministers are urging the Porte to de-
clare against Hungary, while the Ambassadors of
England and France endeavour to induce the Porte
to observe a strict neutrality. It is to be hoped that
England and France will assist the Porte by arms, if
necessary, in resisting these unjust demands of
Austria and Russia.

The Minister of the Finances, HUSSEIN EFFENDI,
has suddenly died from apoplexy, and Nem PASHA
has succeeded him in his post.
A number of Italian fugitives, most of whom played
a conspicuous part in the Italian, insurrections, have
arrived at Constantinople. These frequent arrivals
have alarmed the Porte, and the Turkish agents in
foreign parts have been instructed to refuse the grant-
ing of passports- to persons whose political character
is open to reproach.

jUti LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
.141 Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar,

York,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.

"Sm.—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2e. 9d. per box.

It USSi A.

The Emperors of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA are en-
deavouring to induce the reactionary Governments of
France and Prussia to unite with them in a league
against English influence.
The last news from Odessa is of great importance
to the commercial world. The term of thirty years,
during which Odessa was to be a free port, expired
on the lit inst., but the CZAR has been pleased to
prolong the franchise for another term of five years.
But the duties on imports, which formerly were fixed
at one fifth, have been raised to three-fifths on wine,
tea, and sugar, and to two-fifths on all other goods.
This measure hag caused the greatest excitement
among the merchants of Odessa. An alteration has
likewise taken place in the quarantine laws of the
port of Odessa. The quarantine, with free papers, is
to continue four days, and in case of a death on board,
six. Vessels from Anatolia are to be eight days in
quarantine ; and vessels from Egypt, unless they have
passed their quarantine at Constantinople, are to pass
it at Odessa during the number of days which is
quoted in former decrees.

tier; that she would acknowledg3 . a Southern
Germany with Bavaria at its head (that is,
a Southern Germany, consisting of Bavaria,
Wurtemberg, Baden, Hesse Darmstadt, Leichtenstein,
and the two Hohenzollerns, now Prussian) ; and, lastly,
that she would not object to a supreme directery over
the northern and southern divisions, with Austria as
its president. It must now be asked," continues the
Constitutional Correspondence, " whether Lord Palmer-
stun places more confidence in the conjectural policy of
the llesifian Lieutenant-General, or in the decided de-
claration of the Prussian Ministerial Address, upon the
opening of the Chambers. Should the Prince, in his
note, have added that, after the defeat of the Hungarians
a corps of 50,000 Russians will remain in the south, and
that Austria will then assume a menacing attitude to
wards Prussia, we will not refuse its belief ; but should
that be the case, there is no great motive, in this project
fur patriotic Prussians to hail with satisfaction the defeat
of the Hungarians."

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 28.—A ukase of the 9th
commands the construction of a new road to the
Prussian frontiers, by which means smuggling
through a large, woody, and unfrequented country
will be put a stop to. The present boundary
line lies along the very, verge of the frontier,
but the new road is to run at some
distance from it, not, however, more than
four everts inland, and no village is to be built
between the road and the line of demarcation. The
cordon buildings and peasants' huts are to be built
along the side of this road, and are to be assigned to
the soldiers who form a sort of reserve for reinforcing
the frontiers. Minor regulations commanded by the
EMPEROR will be carried out by a commission.

Our journals contain an official notification, "that
in order again to make up the capital of silver coin
in the Exchequer, which had been rather diminished
in 1848, the sum of 3,000,000 silver rubles was on the
25th of January received from the reserve store in
the vaults of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul.
That reserve fund, after deducting the above
3,000,000 rubles, amounts to 106,588,595 silver
rubles." _ _

WARSAW, JAN. 31.—The EMPEROR has issued
command to all charitable and benevolent institutions

mission of the Admiralty to settle at the Falkland
Islands, and has proceeded thither with his family from
Falmouth, in the Australia, Harrison. Ho has taken
with him farm stock and other requisites suitable for
comfort and convenience as a settler. He has laid before

to be allowed to emigrate to the Falkland Islands. Cap-
tain Sullivan surveyed the Falkland Islands in the Phi-
lomel, a few years since, and afterwards proceeded to
Monte Video, and bore a prominent share in the Points
Obligado affair in the Parana, but was not fortunate
enough to obtain any share of those honours which a
more lucky officer, not half so much exposed on that
occasion, so profusely received.

"On the 27th January, at the Pasteral d'Ames, an ac-
tion took place between a column of the Queen's troops,
under Colonel Solano, and a band of Carlists, which
was commanded by Cabrera in person, in which the
latter was severely wounded. On the 31st, Cabrera,
hotly pursued by the troops of her Majesty up to the
French frontier, entered France, through the village of
Madrid that

The following details of the murder of RECALDE
throw some light on the character of that pet of the
English Tories, General NARVAEZ :
" M. RECALDE was a man beloved and highly
esteemed throughout the whole of the province. He
was turf:stet:l at his own hope, at VillAneuva, solely

because he was known to be a friend of AZURA ; and
although there was not the slightest evidence that he
was in any way connected with the insurrecticn, he
was carried to Pampeluna and thrown into prison.
On its being known that he was a prisoner,
his friends flocked around him with offers of service.
Among others, M. INAZZA, the deputy for the
province, ,proposed to him to address a petition to
the QUEEN, demanding justice, and offered to be
himself the bearer of it to Madrid. This was ac-
cordingly done, and M. INAZZA started post for Ma-
drid, with the petition, after having obtained from the
authorities a promise that M. RECALDE should not be
executed (as had been threatened) till his return. On
his arrival at Madrid, M. INAZZA, on representing the
true state of affairs, had no difficulty in obtaining an
order for the immediate release of M. RECALDE, and
without losing a minute he posted back to Pampe-
luna with the order of release signed by the QUEEN
herself. But, horrible to relate, while this devoted
friend was hastening to the relief of the unhappy
man, General NARVAEZ had sent a telegraphic dispatch
with the order for the execution of the prisoner with-
out a moment's delay. The consequence is, that we
have seen at Pampeluna what was never seen in
Spain before—a man executed on a fete day, and at
eleven o'clock at night."
