[NEW TDIES.I
The South London Docks Bill was read a
second time last night in the House of Commons.
Among the numerous undertak.ing,s, which the
growing commerce of the Port of London has of
late prompted, these Docks hold a distinguished
place. The population in their vicinity has in-
creased with extraordinary rapidity ; in South-
wark, Brixton, &c. not less than 5,000 houses
save been built within the last two years ; ex-
tensive manufactories are established all along
the south *lde-of the River ; and the Docks will
afford facility of communication not only with
these but with the IVestern part of the 'Metro-
; for their site is not three quarters of a
mile distant from London Bridge. Neither must
We overlook the circumstance that, comprising,
as they do, St. Saviour's Dock., much of the
ground is already excavated, and many ware-
housed built, so -that, at a comparatively moderate
expence, the works may, within a year, or a year
and a half, he made ready for business. These,
and similar considerations, appear to have
weighed with the Committee, in recommending
this Bill to Parliament, and with the House last
might, in acceding to the second reading without
a dissentient voice.

[BRITI3II rn-Ess.]
When any rage for speculation is found ex-,
tending itself so far as to be fruitful of losses,
which the majority of those who engage in them
may not foresee, it is useful that the public Press
should raise its warning voice to put the unwary
on their guard against delusion. We felt it, there-
fore, incumbent ou us, when we found the mania
for mining shares spreading itself through all
telalses, to draw the attention of the public to the
prevailing folly, and more particularly to caution
ilers,ons of small capital from imprudently risk-
ing the savings of their industry in schemes which
rnitht strip them in a day of what it had cost them
-years of labour to accumulate. But, having done
this, we had discharged our duty, and we felt
that we could not, without injustice, go beyond
it ; and it is on this ground that we consider
the -attack made by an individual Member on.
Monday evening, on the Pasco Peruvian Min-
ing Company, when debating a question in
which the concerns of that Company were in no-,
wise before the House, as such a departure from
those rules of justice and propriety, as, we hope,
a ill never •pass into precedent. Mr. llobjiouse,
we are sure,cannot but regret, upon more mature
reflection, that he should have so far forgotten •
himself as to have made such an attack. We
should- -litilitt,; -that what is not .reconcilable with
the rules,of private and personal justice, is not
consistent 'with the forms of Parliament. With
the Pasco P-eruvian mine, or with any other, we
}lave no. concern. We have reason, however, to
believe,. that the imputation thrown upon it was
witiwnt,,the slightest foundation. When 'Air.
-11obhp,use„reflects that, as a -Member of Parlia-
ment, he may very deeply affect the property and
interests of individuals, by deliberate aspersions,
which ,as-stnne a serious character from the place
• in which they are made, we trust that his situa-
tion„and his sense of propriety will induce him
to express himself hereafter with better warrant
- and with more caution.

ETHE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
The chief topic of conversation yesterday in
.•
the City, was the financial statement of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer ; and, as far as our own
observation went, it actually gave very general
satisfaction. Cavillers there were of course ; but,
as. they weri- predetermined to blame, their sar-
casms passed for what they were worth—nothing ;
and what may surprise such as are not initiated
in-the secret, they belong for the most part to that
class of persons, who, from causes best known

to themselves, have an indescribable antipathy

to economy and retrenchment in the public ex.
pendiiure. Moreover, they-are known as. hold-

ing in the utmost horror the word innovation, by
which they _:ere in the hahit'of designating every
improvement ; and they were the first to raise
...cry of alarm, when it was proposed to modify
our Navigation Laws, and to remove some of the
restrictions that pressed most heavily upon the
trade and commerce of the country. With this
class of persons, the statement of the, Chalicellor
of the Exchequer found no favour; but, beyond
their narrow and selfish circle, it rstAl'hailed
with approbation. To this alrupsi
_universal ex,

.
pression of. feeling in its'favour, we shall add the
feeble testimony of our own praise.; and, what we
see most to commend in it, is the mode of reduc4
tion which he has adopted. In this trarticular, the
Right Hon. Gent. appears to us to have displayed
great judgment, and to have fully sustained the
reputation, he had before, of being an able finan.
cier. He might have obtained more popularity
Aid he made his reductions wholly out of the
Assessed Taxes ; but he would have merited it
less ; and the public would have soon found out,
,411ai:to plase them. -pot_ always the way to
serve them. Ali the reductions have been made
upon the princiole of extending trade, increasing
productive labour, adding to.the, comfort's of the
'labouring classes, and holding out a check, instead
of a bonus, to emigration. They will also secure •
a wholesome beverage, in_ fen of those. vile com-
pounds which are nowyetailed to the Public un-
der the name of Wine and spirits ; and the mid-
(mug cla4s.of our countrymen. will Once more be
able •to partake of luxuries, winch' have beetcal-.1
ways within the reach same class in every
' ather country. We should wish that. the prin.—
eiple. of reduction. had been carried further, pro-
•vided it could have been done so.conveniently
and'witfiout detriment to the public. seriice.; but
we tak:e- what, we have got vfitbpleasure, particu-
larly as there is no indisposition on the part
,of.
:Public in this the way, as.
111.inistera to, gratify
_f4oon as they can do tt_safely.
