The CH MIT AIRA then said that the reportwf
been read was one of the most satisfactory i2e,hfi id

nature
been laid before the proprietors for some years. He congra-
tulated the meeting on the improved state of the finances of
the company, and looked forward with interest to the coiner
pletion of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway, which
would give an increased stimulus to the interests of the town-
ships, and the cultivation of the land of the company,
in immediate proximity with the line of the railway,
along which considerable quantities of Indian corn
and other agricultural produce would be carried.
He thought it would be highly improper to distribute the
small surplus of the company am.,rig the proprietors, and
that the better course would be to husband the money in
the hands of the directors, in order to advance the comple-
tion of the railway and other improvements in the hands of
the company.
Mr. GALT (the commissioner of the company) stated that
the whole of the line of railway alluded to in the report
would, he had no doubt, be completed very shortly. Within
the last twelve months, upwards of 150 miles of rail-
conliißtiiiisttohne,
which r
on t r will
o rail-
way had been placed under contract, leading in the
direction of the company's lards. A line was placed under
com-
municationf Caatlnbarddatlaiendintehaantsciotfy,andntactr fron
with
open a market for the produce of the tenants of the
company at all seasons of the year.
The report was then, after a few desultory remarks, unani-
mously agreed to.
Russell Ellice, Esq., E. W. Mills, Esq., Thomas Poynder,
t
Esq., Thomas H. Brooking, Esq., and George Pemberton,
Esq., were then unanimously elected as directors of the com-
pany for the ensuing year. W. Chapman, Esq., and Robert
Carter, Esq., were arvinted auditors to the company for the
ensuing year.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the chair-
man, and the meeting broke up.

SLAVE TRADE.

On the question being put that the order of the day
for going into Committee cn the Landed Property. (Ire-
land) Bill,
Mr. HUME said he wished to ask the Noble L(.rd
the S,•cretary for Foreign Affairs whether there was
any intention on the part of the Government to repeal the
Act passed in the year 1845 respecting Brazil, making
the slave trade piracy ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied, that until Brazil en-
tered into a treaty with this country for the suppression
of the slave trade, Government did not feel it to be
their duty to repeal the Act passed in 1845.
Mr. HUME said it would be remembered that a short
while ago an occurence took place where certain British
officers and men were murdered, by inhabitants of
Brazil, and when the murder( rs were brought to trial
here they escaped in consequence of some illegality. He
wished to know whether any measures had been tak, n
to prevent such an occurrence again?
Lord PALMERSTON said, not having received any
notice of the questior' he; was not prepared to answer it.
POOR-LAW AND LANDED PROPERTY BILLS

(IRELAND).
Mr. ROEBUCK said it was proposzed that they should
go into Committee on two Bills; one for the relief of the
por in Ireland, and the other relating to landed pro-
perty. Now he wished to know if the Noble Lord Lt
the head of the Government did not intend to propose
the continuation of the Poor-law Bill if these two passed,
or would the Noble Lord go on with the Poor-law Bill,
and not the Landed Property Bill?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that he was anxi,us
that the two Bills should go through Committee toge-
ther. But perhaps the Honourable Gentleman would
state his reasons for expecting the abandonment of one
of them.

Mr. ROEBUCK said he inferred as much from what
had fallen from the Noble Lord on a former evenirg.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL ssid what he statcd was,
that he intended to move that these Bills be proceeded
with pari passu, so that both the Landed Property
Bill and Poor Relief Bill might be read a third time at
the same time. He still intended to carry out that plan.
lie could not state when the Poor•law Bill would be
proceeded with.
GRANTS TO SCOTL \ ND.
An lIoN. MEMBER wished to know what sums of
money had been advanced by the Government for the
purpose of relieving the destitution in the highlands and
islands of Scotland ?

Sir G. GREY said the Government had intimated
that they would make grants equal in amount to the
local subscriptions raised with the view of mitigating the
distress in those parts. This had been stated to Sir
Edward Caffin, and the Government, in accordance with
his recommendations, had given grants to two places,
Tobermory and Fort William.
The HON. MENDER inquired the amount of the
grant ?
Sir G. GREY repeated that the amount was to be
equal to the amount raised by local subscriptions.
The subject then dropped.
POOR-LAW (IRELAND).
Mr. SHAW intimated that it was not his intention to
offer any unreasonable objection to the main provisions
of the Irish Poor-law Bill, but he certainly should op
pose that portion of it which proposed to give out door
relief.

BRITISH AMERICAN LAND
COMPANY. _ _

The annual general court of proprietors in this company
was yesterday held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street,
for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, and
for the purpose of electing four directors and one auditor, in
the room of those who retire by rotation, and to fill up the
vacancy in the direction occasioned by the death of the late
P. M. Stewart, Esq., M.P.
A. Gillespie, Esq., took the chair at two o'clock.
The CLERK having read the notice convening the meeting,
the minutes of the last meeting were confirmed.
The CLERK then read the report of the directors, from
which it appeared that a marked improvement in every
branch of the company's business had taken place. The
sales amounted to 17,350% acres, for 12,6391. 13s. Bd.
currency, being an average of 12s. Bd. per acre for unim- i
proved lands, and 141 J. 10s. for town lots in Sherbrooke.
And showing an increase above the sales of last year of 3,220
acres, and 2,850/. ss. 2d., and in average price of ls. 2d. per
acre ; notwithstanding every care had been exercised to avoid
sales to irresponsible parties. The subject to which the
directors adverted with most pleasure was the very im-
portant increase in the receipts of the company in Canada
within the past year. The total sum collected had been
7,574/. currency, being, as compared with last year, an in.
crease of 4,652/. Bs. 4d. as thus shown

THE TREATY OF VIENNA.

Mr. S. WORTLEY, seeing the Noble Lord the Fo-
reign Secretary in his place, wished to ask him a ques-
tion, which he hoped the Government would be able to
answer without detriment to the public service. It was
whether he could produce any document relative to the
Convention of 1831, in which words were shown to
have been introduced into the treaty of Vienna at the
instance of the Russian Ambassador?
Lord PALMERSTON answered that he would be
prepared to lay on the table of the House this evening
certain instructions of the two Russian Plenepotentiaries
in 1831, relative to this question. Also some extracts
from the dispatches of Lord Londonderry, bearing on
the same subject.

AMENDED DRAINAGE ACT.
Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, jun., seeing the Right
llon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment in his place, wished to ask when it was the in-
tention of the Government to proceed with the Drain2ge
Amendment Act. There had been many parties who
were pursuing at this crisis a certain course on the faith
of this Bill being passvd, and it would therefore be ex-
tremely satisfactory to them if they knew when the Go-
verment intended to bring it before Committee.
Sir G. GREY said that it was the intention of the
Government to proceed with the measure on Wednesday
next. He had received several communications from
gentlemen in the west of Scotland, urging the Gove.rn-
ment to proceed with the measure as speedily as possible.

the end of the Question, in order to add the words " any
plans of relief for the distress of the Irish Poor, by means of
loans to the owners of property in Ireland, would be unjust

London, England, 1847-01-04

regret our inability to present more tLan the preceding
outline, amid great applause.
Various other appropriate toasts were afterwards
giv,n and responded to ; and the company separated at
a late hour, gratified at the proceedings of the day.

The London and North-Western intend placing under
contract their Rugby and Stamford and Rugby and Lea-
mington lines.
The passenger station of the Leeds and Bradford at
the former town now about to be built will cover an area
of 500 feet long and 180 wido.
Sir Culling Smith, one of the chief representatives of
the Dissenters, speaking of the prohibition of Sunday
trains, says—" I will at once say, that while I possess
a carriage, and consider myself entitled to make use of
it on the Sabbath, I do not think it improper that a
poor man should make use of a railway carriage on that
day."
The Belfast and County Down meditate commencing
with the new year the works on their line from Queen's-
bridge, Belfast, to Newtownards, including the branch
to llolywood, 16 miles.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN, PARIESIDE BRANCH.
—The London and North-Western open their Parkside
branch to-day, accompanying it with changes in the
working of the Preston and Parkside section of their line,
whereby detentions, at the latter point, of trains pro-
ceeding north and south will be entirely avoided.
LEVEL CROSSINGS ON THE RICHMOND LINE.—At a
magistrates' meeting at Richmond,-on Saturday, Cap-
tain Page and Mr. W. Gilpin reported that they had
viewed several footpaths proposed to be crossed on a
level ; that they offered no opinion on the subject of
Mortlake Church footpath, since it had been taken out
of the jurisdiction of the magistrates. In respect to the
other footpaths, viz,—Forty, Wright's Passage, and the
path leading into Mortlake, through Tinderbox-alley,
they (the magistrates) after the moat mature delibera-
tion, are of opinion that the company may be permitted
to cross them on a level, on condition that they make a
paved path across each footway, five feet wide, with
gates o❑ each side, and a proper person to attend to such
gates at each crossing, which appointment they consider
indispensable, in order to protect the public from injury
to life or limb, and the justices from the serious charge
of having sanctioned the same through neglect of the
requisite precautions. An instance of the evil of leaving
level crossings unguarded was alluded to, being that of
a girl being killed on the Eastern Counties line, whilst
crossing the level which had hitherto been left un-
watched, but at which, in consequence of the calamity,
the directors of the Eastern Counties forthwith deter-
mined to have gates erected and a man to watch them.
An order was directed to be made, and served upon the
company immediately.

BRITANNIA, Nov. 21,1846.

The French people have done themselves credit by their Industrial
expositions. But It must he acknowledged that, though ingenims
and pretty, they appear quite inslgnificaot compared with the Indus-
trial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keep.
ing pace with the advancing trade and population of London, It still
increases In be lk ; and, keeping pace with the movement of society
In a more Impc rtnut particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity
of Improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete
classitic 'lion. We find In this volume many instances of superiority
to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the In-
telligence and care exercised over every department. It may be men-
tioned that by the employment of private agents, the changes of re-
sidence are now brought down to a later period thin formerly, and
the value of the " Directory" Is consequently enhanced. We hate
before spoken of it as indispensable to the proper management of
Wiliness. Its authority is now so universally established, both at the
Post-office and throughout the metropolis, that any further recom-
mendation of it is superfluous.

lIERIPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.
The" Post-office Directory" for 1847 appears with additions and
Improvements upon Its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge-
ment in the price. The continued enterprisit.g spirit with Is hich this
Important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national
work Is conducted, merits the highest commendation, We know not
whether the same illiberal sad unjustifiable attempt will be made In
the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest ft from the
hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might
over right in the hands of Government ; but, should it be attempted,
surely the following statement of its conductors will go home to the
consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down
the grasping interference of Government :—" It can only be neces-
sary to refer to a copy of the work published before the purchase of
the copyright by its present proprietor, to ha convinced that the mere
connexion of the Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all,
contributed to its present high character. That the improvements
(the result of many years of unwearied toll and application on the
part of Those engaged in the compilation of the work) are duly appre.
dated is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the ' Directory'
passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully
with this—they have disappeared."

RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 91, 1841.

The new volume of the Post Office Directory for 1447 Is already
in oar hands, and a e can only express our wonder that a, Work' so
laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved.
It would have been a outlicient merit to have maintained its former
reputation, it is a great merit to have surpassed Itself. The produc..
Lion of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness km placed in
the hands of the commercial public a meet valuable and indispensable
aid in carrying on the business of this vast metropolis, which would
indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense it it
were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will
have the opportunity of judging for themselves on purchasing the new
volume, whether our anCcipatorynotice is In any degree exaggerated.

The past week's arrivals of slaughtered Meat for these
markets have been on the increase, but by no means large,
the time of year considered. With meat killed in the me-
tropolis we were fairly supplied this morning, while the
primest Beef, Mutton, and Veal commanded a ready sale, at
fully last week's prices. In all other kinds of meat only a
moderate business was transacted, yet previous rates were
readily supported. There were about 800 carcases of foreign
Beasts and Sheep on offer, and which were mostly disposed
of at late rates.

THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL.

Among the numerous contributions to the People's
Journal the most interesting are first some admirable
lines from the pen of the poet-artizan, John Critchley
Prince, styled " Rhymes for the Times," and secondly
a spirited memoir of William Charles Macready,
" the eminent tragedian," by Mr. Fox. The likeness
of Macready is no likeness whatever though copied
from an inimitable portrait. In all essential para..
culars the Journal is equal to its preceding numbers.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Since our last report. about 200 tons of Potatoes have
reached us in good condition from France; but, coastwise,
the receipts have been very trifling. Selected qualities are
in good request, at a trifle more money ; but all other kinds
are a slow inquiry.
BOROUGH HOP MATCHET.

On the whole our market continues to be well supplied
with most kinds of Hops, the best of which, both in pockets
and bags, command a ready sale, at full prices. Otherwise,
however, the trade is dull, at barely late rates. From New
York 300 bales have been received in the past week..—Sus-
sex pockets, 31 12s to 41 6s; Weald of Kent pockets, 41
to 41 12s; Mid and East Kent pockets, 415 s to 6165.

Wool.

Since this day se'ennight the imports of Wool have con-
sisted of 38 bales from Antwerp, 445 ditto from Port Phillip,
582 ditto from Sydney, and 269 ditto from Odessa. There is
a better feeling in the demand for English Wools, at full
prices; but Foreign and Colonial qualities are a dull iuquiry.
Holders, however, are very firm.

THE WEEKLY CATHOLIC MAGAZINE.
_ __ _

In this periodical, we have an attempt to supply
the Roman Catholics with a hebdomedal organ at
what Ting would call " the rediculous small
amount of three-halfpence." It a digest of the
weekly Catholic intelligence, varied by editorial
comments upon passing events, reviews, sketches, and
miscellaneous paragraphs. It cannot well interfere
with the Tablet newspaper from the talent and supe-
riority of that publication ; but may probably be
acceptable to the poorer members of the Roman
Catholic religion.

THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE.
Upon the same admirable course as heretofore this
journal "proceeds, with unabated industry and un-
stinted talent. Now, when the national agriculture
has excited immeasurably greater interest in the
popular mind than previously to the abolition of the
protective duties, any monthly organ displaying the
excellence of this Journal of Agriculture cannot fail
of meeting with every success.
