['HE CONTINENTAL MAILS.
T' he arrangements for carrying out the new Post-
uffici a !plans agreed upon by the British and French
Gov ernments are, we hear, definitely settled, and the
new service will come into operation on the Ist of
Jani Lary. The South-Eastern Railway Company is
ealle d upon to run their night mail from London to
bovi it at express speed, as also the early up mail
from Dover. This distance of 88 miles is to be ac-
comp fished in two hours and a half. The down mail
train 'will leave London-bridge at half-past 8 every
night, so reach Dover at 11 o'clock; the up mail
train is to start from Dover every morning at 2
o'clod k, and reach London-bridge at half-past 4.
A steamer with the mails will sail from Dover
Every night after the arrival of the down train. The
fixed hour of such steamer's departure is a quarter
past 1 1. These mails are to be conveyed via 13ou-
logne. The other mail will be dispatched from
Dove? • every afternoon at half-past 3 o'clock, and is
to be conveyed via Calais.
Frc the French side the mails are also to be
broug ht through two ports, as we announced some
time since. A steamer will sail from Boulogne for
Dove] • every morning at 4 o'clock ; if first class boats
are en Iployed, these mails will reach Dover in time
for the . 6 15 a.m. up train, which arrives in London
at abos It 10 o'clock in the morning, or under any
circurn stances are safe to arrive in good time for the
up enrress train, which sets out from Dover at 8
o'clock, and reaches London-bridge at half-past 10.
This latter train is, without doubt, the train estimated
upon by the Governments. A mail steamer will
leave Dover for Calais every afternoon at half-past 3,
as also from Calais for Dover every night at half-past
9. Tihis Calais service is, we believe, the service to
be pert ormed by the French Government boats ; that
betweet i Dover and Boulogne being appropriated to
the steal ners of the British Government.
Prom these arrangements it will be seen that the
Calais mail arriving at Dover every night will bring
the first mail. The Boulogne mail, arriving about 6
in the morning, will convey the Paris news of the
previous day up to the close of post, and which will
thus be in the hands of the public in London at an
early hour the following morning.

THE NEW METR OPOLITAN BOROUGII.—A meeting '
was held yesterday as the Kensington Institution, or
the purpose of adopting a petition to Parliament in
favour of incorporating the parishes of Kensington,
ChOtlsea, Hammersmith, and Fulham, into a borough.
J. R.. Cornwall, Esq., pre,iided, and in advocating the
objee is of the meeting, said "he was in favour of the
largest possible development of our constitution, for the
placing it in harmon with itself, and for infusing into
It that true spirit of Christiaiity that makes the humbler
Classes of equal value with te highest, and provides for
their welfare as well in this world as in the next," This
1141 cont ended would never be fully carried out till the
Rranchiste was equitably distributed according to popula-
tion, till the Church revenues were fairly divided, till
the law, especially the' Chancery and Ecclesiastical
branches. underwent a searching reform, and a just scale
of taxation adopted, in which incomes under 5001. a year
shciuld be exempted, and larg e ones pay rateably, in pro-
pm Lion to their amount. Th ere ought also to be a dis-
tinction between property and income. Lot the many
share with the titled and wealthy the representation of
the country. Do away with Parliamentary qualifica-
tiosts, and the condition of the poor will be ameliorated,
the Legislature become independent, and the country
pDwertttl in wisdom, freet.losn, and re,ligioa.—(Applause.)
The population, wealth, ai td influence .of the four parishes
entitled them to their demunl. Were they formed into
a borough they would be bk .hiltd none in respect of num-
bers and knowledge. The srestern suburb of the metro-
polis was the only portion unrepresented LI the c
founcild
s
of the nation. On all these, grounds they put orwar
their claims, which he conceived to be based .on
jua; ice,
and founded in truth. Stmibury having been .disfrae-
ehised, afforded Parliament .a good opportunity for bee
stowing the boon on the foil. united parishes, and ho
trusted,- ere long, other sinks of corruption and bribery
would be punished, like Sudbury, to make room for more
extended and honest cons tituencies. After speeches from
Messrs. Rischardson, Murray, Charteris, and Vincent,
the purpose of the meeting was agreed to. A vote of
thanks was then passeii to the Chairman, and the
meeting separitted.
