THAMES HAVEN AND DOCK

COMPANY.

An adjourned meeting of this company was held yesterday
at the Guildhall Coffee-house, at one o'clock; Mr. Esdaile
in the chair.
The advertisement convening the meeting having been
read, a report was made' to the meeting, the substance of
which is as follows :—The directors congratulated the share-
holders on the improved prospects of the concern since
the last meeting, and stated that there was every probability
that capitalists might now be induced to take an interest
in the undertaking. The ground for the dock has already
been purchased, and as it would be advisable to have a rail-
way from Orsett to Tilbury, a distance of five miles, the
directors had to state that the Eastern Counties Railway
Company have projected a line train Ilford to Tilbury, which
the shareholders were recommended to give a vigorous oppo-
sition to in Parliament. On the whole it was believed that
the concern was both prosperous and promising. The
amount of money received on deposits and calls, and from
other resources, is 30,4801. 19s. 7d. The money expended
has been—for preliminary expenses, 895/. Is. 7d.; for Par •
liamentary expenses,.l,B97/.lls. ; law expenses, 3,9141.95. 7d. ;
for purchase of land, 4,833/. 175.; excavation and expense of
contractors, 3,02(4. 4s. 7d.; snaking up with the other inci-
dental expenses and salaries of officers an outlay of 30,433/.
9s. 10d., leaving a balance of cash in hand of 444. 9s. 9d.
After some little discussion the report was unanimously
adopted.

It was then proposed that J. Barclay, Esq., Robert Ewart
Norman, Esq., and Benjamin hill, Esq., the directors re-
tiring by rotation, be re-elected,' but on an amendment being
put by Mr. Merritt, Louis Pocock, Andrew Inderwick, and
J. W. West, Esqs., were substituted for them.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution, that the scheme
of the Eastern Counties Railway Company for a line from
Ilford to Tilbury be strenuously opposed in Parliament.
This resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. AMSINCK objected to the legality of the meeting, as, ac-
cording to his view, it was necessary that the directors should
have the written consent of every one of the old shareholders
to render its proceedings legal. Besides, many of the shares
had been issued at a discount.

Mr. CHADWICK thought that this was no ground of objec-
tion, ibr It was a avanivuo fact that many- companies had
issued their shares at a discount, and, to announce no other,
he might allude to one of the Sheffield companies.
Mr. AMSINCK complained that his share had been sold with-
out his consent, and contended that none of their proceedings
could be legal, inasmuch as they never had had a sufficient
number of shareholders to, legalise any meeting.
After some further discussion, the new directors expressed
their willingness to accept the office to which they had been
appointed.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting was
dissolved.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

Dr. BOWRING wished to read a paper from Hong-
Kong, dated the 13th of January, which stated that the
system of corporal punishment on board ship had, they
were happy to state, been done away with, and that no
punishment would now take place without a trial, in
consequence of the discussion which had taken place in
the House of Commons. He wished to know whether
the Government had received any official assurance of
what was thus stated?

Mr. B. HAWES said that no official confirmation
had been received by the Government ; but he couli, at
the same time, say that he had great reason to believe
that there would shortly be a great amelioration of the
system of punishment in the commercial marine.

IRISH CHURCH.

Mr. S. O'BRIEN wished to ask the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government whether there was any
intention to bring in any measures during the present
session to appropriate the property of the Irish Church
to purposes its which both Protestants and Catholics
were interested?

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that there was no such
intention.

GAME-LAWS.

Mr. B. ESCOTT wished to remind the Hon. Member

for Durham that a Committee on the game-laws had sat
in 1845, before whom a considerable mass of evidence
had been given. He wished to ask whether it was the
Hon. Member's intention to act upon that evidence?
Mr. BRIGHT said that it was his intention to draw

the attention of the House to the evidence which had
been given at an early period, and he hoped to be

ENLISTMENT OF THE ARMY.

Sir H. DOUGLAS wished to ask the Noble Lord
at the head of the Government whether the system of
enlisment for a limited period had been adopted by the
advice and with the consent of the Duke of Wellington,
the Commander-in• Chief of the Army?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that there had been
several communications with the Horse• Guards, but
there had been no direct contravention of the plans
adopted by the Government. Further than this he
declined to answer.

To a further attempt by Sir Howard Douglas, the
Noble Lord returned the same answer.
GOVERNMENT SCHEME OF EDUCATION.
Mr. MATHESON presented a petition from a con-
gregation of Independents, at Ashburton, against the
Governor-nt plan of education.

Mr. ALDAM presented a petition from Leeds to
,he same effect.
LIMITATION OF ENLISTMENT BILL.

Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, assuming that the
opinion of the. Duke of Wellington was not favourable
to this measure, begged to give notice that it was
his intention, when the question was put for going into
Committee on the Bill, to move that it be committed
that day six months.
HARBOUR OF REFUGE OF HOLYHEAD.

Viscount SANDON moved for a copy of a letter
from the Secretary of the Admiralty, dated the 27th
day of March, 1846, stating that the Lords of the Ad-
miralty approve of Mr. Rendel's plans fbr a refuge har-
bour and packet harbour at Holyhead; and of the con-
ditions upon which the contribution of 200,0001., by the
Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, had been ten-
dered for the same, as referred to in the Treasury minute
of the 3d day of April, 1846. Also, copies of any report
from Captain Beechey, RN, or others, on the nature
of the sea ground proposed by Mr. Rendel to be inclosed
as a harbour of refuge at Holyhead, and made subse-
quently to Ju1y,1846, together with a plan, showing the
msult of such examination; together with a copy of the
plan of such harbour of refuge and packet harbour at
Holyhead, as has been approved of and prepared under
the direction of her Majesty's Government, or of the
Admiralty, and the cost of such approved harbours.

LOSS Or THE AMERICAN BARQUE KENNEBECK,
AND FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF TILE CARVV.—On Tuesday the
American ship Yumchi, B. Canfield, master, arrived with a
cargo of Indian corn and meal for the Victualling-office at
this port. The Yumchi left Norfolk, Virginia, on the 22d of
February last, and has experienced a succession of bad wea-
ther. She brought to this port Captain H. B. Davis and the
crew of the barque Kennebeck, of New York, who were com-
pelled to abandon their ship and cargo at sea. The barque
had experienced most severe weather, and sprung a danger.
ous leak. On the 27th of February she was thrown on her
beam ends, and the cargo became shifted, when, in order to
right her, the fore and mainsail were both cut away, and
part of the cargo thrown overboard. In this perilous situa-
tion they remained until Sunday, the 7th inst., when the
Yumchi bore in sight, and seeing a signal of distress,
bore down upon the wreck, and nobly took all hands on
board; but owing to the strong gale and high sea then run-
ning, the crew were unable to save anything bat a few
clothes. The poor men must have endured great hardship,
and when fallen in with they were much exhausted from
their incessant labour at the pumps. It is supposed that the
barque must slimly' afterwards have sank.—Plymouth

AMICABLE ASSEMBLIES.

The last for the season of these brilliant reunions took
place in the large room of the London Tavern last
evening, when about three hundred of the elite were
assembled. The present is the eleventh season of the
society, which is connected with the Literary Institu-
tion, Aldersgate-street, and is one of its most attractive
branches. The arrangements for the supper were
liberal. The greatest praise is due to the stewards,
Messrs. Britten, jun., Harris, Fryer, Singer, and Bar-
nard. For everything appertaining to the due regula
tion of such a select society the Amicable Assembly is
decidedly a model. Mr. Adams' band was in attendance,
and dancing was kept up to a late, or rather early, hour
in the morning.

" My dear Senor President,—With extreme pleasure
I have to announce to your Excellency that the horde of
the incendiary Fructuoso Rivera, consisting of about
400 men, has been completely routed at about five
o'clock this afternoon, 50 killed being left on the battle-
field, including two chiefs, lSoboredo and Espinosa, some
other officers, upwards of 100 prisoners, with a similar
number of arms, about 1,000 horses, and 2,000 head of
cattle.
" It is now only half.paat five, and I have not yet re-
ceived the particulars from some part of the forces under
my orders which have defeated this anarchist, in conse-
quence of their being occupied in the pursuit, and
knowing that Rivera's flight was very precipitate; it is
possible I may yet overtake him and his followers.
" Commandant° Olid and Captain Aparico pursue
hitn closely, so that the number of killed and prisoners
will uo doubt be considerably augmented. Until to-
morrow I shall not be able to give your Excellency the
details of this battlo for the reasons already expressed,
meantime I have pleasure in congratulating you on such
an important result on behalf of the brave soldiersunder
my command, who have shown the greatest rivalry on
the present and many other occasions, to meet the fero-
cious Unitario protegii of the sanguinary Ministers
Ouseley and Deffaudis.

consequence of the discussion which had taken place in

what was thus stated?
Mr. B. HAWES said that no official confirmation
had been received by the Government ; but he could, at

that there would shortly be a great amelioration of the
system of punishment in the commercial marine.
