LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1841.

THE THAMES COAL and STEAM-
DOCK and RAILWAY COMPANY.
Capital, £500,000, in 5,000 Shares of £lOO each.
Deposit, £2 per Share.
To be Incorporated, and the responsibility limited by Act of

Parliament.
The object of this Company is to carry into effect that
which becomes every day mare and more necessary, vi:., to
clear the Pool and the narrow part of the Thames of colliers
and steam-vessels, by a will-digested plan of a Dock and Rail-
way, which will be beneficial to the commerce of London, to
all the consumers of coal, and proll'able beyond any other
scheme yet devised to the capitalists concerned in its accom-
plishment.
When it is considered that nearly three millions of tons of
coals are consumed in London annually, and that other goods
are brought by vessels which have to wait the turn of the tide,
and run all the risks, and encounter the delays of a crowded
Pool, to an extent of perhaps three millions of tons more,
there is consequently a larger and more lucrative field for the
judicious investment of capital, than any that has yet been
presented to the public.
The grand desideratum is to be as near London as possible,
to accomplish this object, so that the sin %Best outlay may
effect it; hence a sate nearly opposite Woolwich, on the north
bank of the Thames, has been fixed upon, as possessing every
natural advantage that can be desired for a dock or harbour
for colliers and other vessels, and which, being connected with
a level country all the way to London, presents advantages for
a railway or tram-road, not surpassed by any locality in the
kingdom.
The Dock will present conveniencit s for colliers and other
vessels to discharge their cargoes in any quantity, so as to save
the time and money now wasted; and as all the vessels will be
unloaded by machinery, the coals will be preserved whole, and
not converted into dust as they are by the existing process.
Immediately on .the cargoes being unloaded they will be
weighed and dispatched by railway to spacious warehouses
formed by its arches near the City terminus, and lot down by
machinery so as to preserve the whole from breakage or any
ether injury.
The rent of the warehouses under the arches will form an
additional source of income.

Further details, with the names of the Trustees, Directors,
&c., will shortly be published, and, in the meantime, all appli-
cations may be made to A. R. Steele, Esq. (late Harmer and
Steele), 87, Hatton-garden, London.

DINNER TO JOSEPH BROTHER- I
TON, ESQ., M.P.
The electors of the borough of Salford, resident in
Broughton, having determined to avail themselve of the
return home of Mr. Brotherton, for the Eistcr recess,
to invite him to dine with them, and he having cordially
eccopted the invitation, a public dinner was given t 3
the respected representative of Salford, on Wednesday
1 Est, in the large room of .the Griffin Inn, Lower
Broughton. The room was very tastefully orosmented
for the occasion, with the choicest exotics, including
some rare and splendid specimens of cacti, &c.. from
the conservatories of Mr. Bow.
About 120 gentlemen sat down to a very excellent
dinner. David Ainsworth, Esq., boroughreeve of
Manchester, occupied the chair. At his right sat Mr.
Brotherton, Messrs. William Bow, John Sha,,:cross,
Samuel Pullein, Andrew Hall, Wm. Lockett, Michael
Satterthwaite, William Labrey, Edward Shawcross,
Alderman Burd, and other gentlemen. At his left,
Robert Hyde Greg, Esq., M.P. ; Sir Thomas Potter ;
C. J. S. Walker, E=q. ; Mr. Win. Harvey, Mr. Roht.
Macintyre, Mr. E. B. Holland, and other gentlemen.
The Vice-Presidents were Mr. J. J. Southern, and
Mr. John M‘Clure, one of the constables of Manches-
ter. Amongst other gentlemen present were Messrs.
G. E. Macintyre, Win. Ashworth, Robert Blackloek,
Robert Tinsley, Henry Warren, James Barge, James
Dawson, Wm. Jenkinson, John Harrison, John Pres-
ton, John Lancaster, William Andrew, &c., &c.
After the usual toasts,
The CHAIRMAN then, in giving " Her Maje.ty's
Ministers," said, though they might not have done as
much as could be wished, they had, he believed, done
as much As they.possibly could under the eircumstauces,
and they had had a lei eat deal to contend with.—( The
toast was received with loud and long-continued plau-
dits.)—The Chairman then, in giving the toast of the
evening, said, he felt incapable of doing the justice
it deserved to the toast of the health of Joseph
Brotherton, Es.q.--(The company rose and cheered
loud and long)—the independent Member for Salford.
Not a more independent Member was there in the
House of Commons. He (the Chairman) knew many
gentlemen in Manchester who, though opposed to M-.
Brotherton in politics, said that, if they wished •to ob-
tain assistance in any business, they bad only to apply
to Mr. Brotherton, who was always ready to do them a
service, no matter whether they were Whigs, Tories, or
Radicals.--(Applause.)--Without saying more on a
toast which would speak for itself to all their hearts,
he would give them " Joseph Brotherton, Esq., the
worthy representative of Salford." The toast was re-
ceived with all the honours of cheering, the company
again rising, and the plaudits continuing for some time,
and ceasing only to be resumed as Mr. Brotherton rose.
When they had subsided,—
Mr. BROTHERTON said—Mr. President, Messrs.
Vice-Presidents and Gentlemen,—l feel quite at a loss
how to thank you for the honour You have done me on
this occasion. No words that 1 can use can ade-
quately express my feelings of gratitude for the cordial
welcome which you have given en on this oc-
casion. It certainly is very gratifying to me to
find, that, on every succeeding occasion of meet-
ing my constituents, I am greeted with the
most hearty welcome. This is the ninth yerr
in which I have had the honour of being your repre-
sentative in Parliament.—(Hear.) I undertook the
duties with very great diffidence, and I have always felt
the greatest anxiety faithfully to discharge the duties of
the important trust which you confided to me, during
the time that I have had the great honour of being the
representative of this borough ; and I can assure you
that I seek no other reward than the consciousness of
being, in some degree, useful to my country, and to have
merited your approbation.--(Applause.) It has always
been my desire to act according to those principles that
should be for the benefit of the many, rather than of
the few.—(Applause.) I have always endeavoured
to promote those measures that would be for the
happiness of the greatest number. I conceive
that the object and the duty of a statesman is to
endeavour to promote those measures that are calcu-
lated to enlighten the minds, to improve the con-
dition, to promote the prosperity, and to exalt the po-
litical character of the whole people.—(Applause.) I
am well aware that the Tories would say that they wish,
the happiness of mankind ; that they desire to promote
the general interests of the country ; that these are
their aims as well as ours. What, then, is the differ-
ence between us ? The difference is in the means
which we adopt. The objects of the Tories are almays
to look to the interests of the few, rather than to the
interests of the many.—(Hear.) They consider the
institutions of the country as the institutions of the
aristocracy ; they consider our public schools and semi-
naries as belonging to that aristocracy exclusively, and
that they were designed for the teaching of the rich, in-
stead of the instruction of the poor. Upon this exclusive
principle, they consider these institutions as confined
only to a part of the community ; but my principle is,
that those institutions which are supported by all should
be for the benefit of all, and that we should esti-
mate the institutions of the country not according to
'their antiquity, but according to their usefulness. An-
other distinction between the Tories and the Reformers
is in 'their commercial policy. We have seen conti-
nually, that all our commercial legislation seems to
have been conducted for the benefit of a certain portion
of the community, regarding classes and monopolies
too favourably. The commercial policy of this country
has hitherto been for the benefit of the few, and to the
injury of the many : and, instead of looking at the ge-
neral interests of society, they have considered the West
India interest, the shipping interest, the agricultural
interest, the interests of the church, and other separate
interests that are and have been promoted-at the expense
of the general benefit of society. (Hear.) Now the
Reformers take a different stand ; they advocate prin-
ciples that aro for the benefit of the whole community ;
they wish for free trade, and that all should be par-
takers of the benefits resulting from it. (Hear.)
Again, not only do the Tories claim the institutions
of the country, and the right of legislating for
the interests of the few rather than for those of
the many ; but, in political points of view, they are as
or sesite to Reformers as darkness is to light. They
consider that the best means of promoting the interest;
of the people is to look exclusively to the interests and
the power of the aristocracy ; that the people have no-
thing to do with the laws but to obey them ; and that
none are fit to legislate but those who are horn legis-
lators—(Laughter)—or those who have money enough
to purchase the votes of their constituents.—(Hear,
and cheers.) But the Reformers, on the contrary, wish
and desire that the House of Commons may reflect the
mind, and speak the voice, of the people of England.
—(Hear.) These arc the important principles that
we advocate. True, these is not so much done as we
should desire ; and I find there are many persons who
can tell us what we did not do, and who cm show us
what we ought to do ; but unfortunately they did not
lend us that assistance which they coi;;ht and might
have done, to enable us to accomplish these things.—
(Hear, hear.) lam well aware that the Reform B.ii
has not accomplished all that has been expectsd from
it, and that many are dissatisfied ; but it should he re-
collected that the Reform Bill is merely a machine,
and that it is the duty of the people to work it.—
(Hear.) And if the people are only united in en-
deavouring to effect all the good that may be accom-
plished, I am fully persuaded that a great deal more
might be done. But it is in vain to talk of reform
or improvements as long as people sell their votes, as
long as they leek merely to a sum in head, though in
taking it they may sacrifice the great interests of their
country. If you consider those as the Tory principles,
and also the benefits which they derive from them, you
will see that they can easily afford to buy the votes of
their constituents, and then to put the value into their
own pockets an hundred fold. Much has been said,
that Ministers have not done all that might be required
of them, and that the Reform Bill has disappointed the
expectations of many ; but I would ask whether all the
blame is to be attributed either t'.) Ministers or to Par-
liament ? I must tell you very candidly that I think a
very great portion of flee blame is to be attributed to
the people themselves.—(Hear, hear.) Look even at
this county, the very hot-bed of reform ;it sends 13
Tories to Parliament to oppose 13 Reformers ; so that
the opinion of the whole county of Lancaster is, as it
were, neutralised. How, then, can the House of Peers
imagine that the people are in favour of reform, when
we find that parties aro so equally balanced even here !
These principles arc of the very highest importance ;
and I do think that the time is come when the peopls
of this county particularly should be impressed with
the importance of having a change of system, other-
wise they cannot expect to enjoy that prosperity which
is so desirable. The liberal spirit which the present
Government displays towards Ire land is certainly cal-
culated to promote the benefit of that country ;
acrd here, too, we Tilly see a striking distinction
between the conduct of the Tories and that of trie
Reformers.--(Hear, and applause.) Ire land is to be
governed in the spirit of canciliation.—(hear, bear.)
We are asked to do justice to Ireland ; but 1 regard I
the Bill of Lord Stanley as for the destruction of the
franchise, and that of Lord Morpeih as pioviding fur
the preservation and extension of the franchise.--
(Applause.) The spirit in which the Tories have lii•
ttlerto governed Ireland has bsen derogatory to Eng-
land, while it was deeply injurious t Ireland ; and we
may rest assured, that no advantage can he.derived to
either country when such a policy is pursued n 3 is cal-
culated to foster all those feelings which it is so de-
sirable to idiase—(Applause). We have now consi-
dered the general principles by which we are governed,
, and have taken a view of the measures necessary for
I the general benefit, and I would now draw your at-
