SPRING.—Registered 6 and 7 Vict., cap. 65.—PATRONISED by
H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT, the ROYAL FAMILY, his Grace the
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, the PRINCIPAL NOBILITY, and
OFFICERS of the GUARDS.
This gentlemanly garment, cut without seams on the shoulder,
so as to improve the figure, and which (owing to its elasticity) tts
equally well either as an over-coat or LIGHT SUMMER FROCK,
is made of a peculiar cloth, manufactured in the west of England,
expressly for this coat, of double twist warp and welt, and finest
Saxony wool. It is guaranteed to endure and maintain its primitive
appearance at least twice the film, of ordinary-Moth, however good
the quality, as it does net wear white or rough, and although re-
pellent, is perfectly porous. The sleeves arc lined with ar ich dura-
ble silk, so that the coat slips on and off easily, and, owing to its
softness, lightne,s, and elasticity, the wearer experiences perfect
ease and freedom when the coat is buttoned.
The WELLINGTON sURTOUT commends itself to all who desire
a quiet, elegant, gentlemanly appearance ; it is kept in every size and
leading colour, ready fur immediate wear, price Two Guineas and a
Half, net cash on delivery. Every genuine coat has a stamp bearing
the royal arms, with a number indicative of the size, and name and
address of the patentee, JAMES FOUGERE, 6, CONDUIT-

BOUR.

Mr. STRUTT moved that the Weymouth and Mel-
eombe Regis Harbour and Bridge Trusts Bill be term d
to the Commissiomrs of Railways ; and that the said
Bill be not considered in Committee until the Commis •
sinners shall hae reported upon the Bills promoted by
the Great Western Railway Company, in conformity
with the resolutions of that Home of the 23d day of
February.—Agreed to.
EDINIIURGH AND PERTH RAILWAY BILL.

General MORISON moved the second reading of
ti!is Bill.•
Mr. T. DUNCONIBE trusted that the second reading
would be postponed until after the holicla:,vs. No ob-
jection could be urged against this course, as the delay
would tot cause any embarra•.sinent to the parties in-
terests, while it would give an opportunity to the peti
tionera whom he represented to see the printed evidence
taken before the Select Committee.
Mr.
T.
delay.
Mr )CH opposed that there were circum-
stances connected with the reconstruction of this coin.
patty which ended for investigation. It was stated in
the report that the directors of the old company were
the directors of the new. Now the fact was, that only
three of these sat upon the new board. Then the plans
and specifications ot the old company were taken pos-
session of by the parties connected with the new, al-
though they themselves had not in the first instance
lodged them.
Mr. GREENE suggested that the Bill should be con-
sidered to, morrow.
Mr. DUNCOMBE--Why not say three weeks at
once?
Mr. ELLICE defended the report of the Committee.
That report had nothing to do with the petitioners, and
he did not see, therefore, wily a postponement till May
should be r,-quired.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought there was something
very unreasonable in this opposition. The Committee
upon the Bill would not, even if the Bill were read a '
second time that day, sit before the 17th of May. He
thought the whole of the circumstances in this case so
pNcultar that he would move that it be read a second
time that day three weelt4.
Sir W. HEAIHCOTE explained that, although there
were only three names of the registered directors ot the
oil c mpany upon the new, the reason was that these
geetlemet, had fr •m thee to time retired, and other
names had been sulstituted, so that in fact the direction
was altogether different at the period of the dissolution
of the old company to what it had been at the beginning.
Mr. GISBORNE 4prehended that the report of
the Standier. Ot,ters G.tutnittee. was presented to the
llotisc with the view of beii c..mtirtued, and he thought
it nothing but right that the evidenct) should be laid be-
fore them upon which that r port was founded. He

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

111ARLBOI?OUGH-STREET.
Richard Alexander, Henry Ght(l)tone, George Smith,
and Thomas Collier, four young boys, were• charged with
attempting to pick pockets in Berwick-street, on Satur-
iay night.

PoliCe-con.itahle Wills said he was in plain clothes on
the alert in Berwick •street, because of repeated rob-
beries having been reported from that neighbourhood
lately, and he saw the four prisoners attempt the pockets
or` different persons, and nearly succeed in their purpose
on a lady -who had just come out of a shop near St.
Luke's Chapel.
The father of one of the prisoners, seeminAly an
honest, hard-working man, stated that his boy was ap-
prenticed to a tradesman, in whose employ he had been
most attentive and regular, awl he could not but be sur-
prised at the charge.

Mr. litz-rartam said his experience for the last three
years at IV4wsliip-street, was consistent with all that
being true ; for he found young men well situated for
trades and every necessary, who spent their evenings on
the streets picking pockets. He therefore remanded the
prisont-rs for ,urcher inquiry.
EXTRA PAY TO POLICEMEN.—One of the constables
th:s district having applied to have his expenses at
the se-ssions allowed him, was informed by Mr. BINGHAM
that he had had a letter thr- morning from the Hume
secretary, reminding him of the rder of the 31st April,
1830, disallowing all extra payments to constables, which
the Hume Secretary requested might be henceforth
rictly ob served.

ARRIVAL from SOUTH AMERICA.
PORTSMOUTH, JAN. I.—Her Majesty's ship Daphne,
Captain Onslow, has arrived at Spithead. She came up
about nine o'clock, after twelve days tedious passage,
from Vigo, into which port she had been compelled to
put to obtain water and provisions. The Daphne has on
board a freight in gold, bars of silver, and dollars,
amounting in value to about one million and a half
sterling, which will be sent to London by the South-
Western Railway. The Daphne quitted Valparaiso in
August, having taken in all the merchants' money which
had been collected from the intermediate ports, and
brought thither by her Majesty's ship Talbot. The
Daphne arrived at Rio Janeiro in October, and left for
England on the 20th of that month. The Curacoa and
Griffin were the only men-of-war there. The Raleigh
had not arrived. The Daphne did not touch at any
place except Vigo. She has brought home Commander
Barrie, promoted ; Lieutenants Aldridge and Jackson,
from the Sampson, invalided ; Dr. Slight, promoted ;
and Lieutenant •Pennington, R.M., with a few invalids
from the Brazils. The Daphne was fitted out at
Chatham, and will prob'ibly be sent there to be paid off.
She encountered several heavy gales of wind in the Bay.
of Biscay, and has lost some sails and spars.

LEEDS, DECEMBER 31.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—We have had but three clear busi-
ness-days this week and one meeting this morning, and as
operations have not been very extensive, it is difficult to
estimate the probabilities of future movements. Upon the
whole, however, appearances favour expectations of im-
provement, and in same instances better prices are realised.
No doubt this feeling would have extended, but for the en-
hanced price of corn, and the heavy calls for money now
making to carry on the railway works in progress Great
Westerns are decidedly better, and inquired for, and Manches-
ter and Leeds stock is in demand, but Midland, Dovers, and
Brightons do not rally. Dewsburys are higher, ard Hud-
dersfield and Manchesters firm at a small advance. West

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

TWELVE O'CLOCIL—Since the above report was written
several outbreaks have taken place, and the house be-
tween the Irongate-wharf and the Marquis of Granby
tavern bas sustained serious injury. About eight o'clock
a large piece of wall, about twenty feet in length, fell
with great force into the street, to the imminent danger
of three or four firemen who were stationed near the
spot directing the hose towards the burning building.
Some other persons, who had made their way amongst
the firemen, notwithstanding the exertions of the police
to keep the place perfectly clear, narrowly escaped with
their lives.

_ -
It appears that the vessels which have been injured
are a Scotch schooner, a brig, and a cutter. They were
loading at the time with goods from the wharf which is
now destroyed.
The warehouses destroyed, although called Irongate-
wharf, consist of St. Katharine's-wharf, St. Andrew's-
wharf, and buildings connected with the principal range.
Not a vestige of property has been saved, with the
exception of two or three bales of leather, but these are
so scorched that they are rendered almost useless. So
fiercely did the fire rage immediately after its commence •
ment, that it was found to be impossible to rescue any
portion of the property from the flames.
It is a most providential circumstance that this great
calamity did not occur at night, or at an hour when the
persons employed in St. Katharine Docks had left the
establishment. Had it not happened that when the walls
of that extensive building became charred the goods were
removed, it is impossible to anticipate what might have
been the result of the conflagration.
The damage, it is feared, is much larger than was first
expected ; 200,0001., it is said, will not corer the damage.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
Throughout the whole night the engines have been
playing on the ruins, which, by the morning, enabled
some of them to be sent back to their station., but as to
its being entirely subdued, that cannot be possible till
yesterday. The walls have bean falling throughout the
night, and the firemen have had many narrow escapgs,
bnt not the h ast accident has been heard of. The river
front is considered quite safe, and the consequence has
been the removal of the two London Establishment
floating engines to their moorings.
At the outbreak of the fire, as is usual on such occa-
sions, the exertions of every person near was called into
requisition for the engines ; and, our informant was told
yesterday morningb that great fears are ent(r.ained that
some are yet under the ruins, but as no inquiries had
been made, it is hoped that these fears are without foun-
dation.

THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION.

The Evening Mail states that Mr. John Young, the
Member for Cavan, "hi his capacity of ex-Secretary of
the Treasury, had addressed to the followers of Sir
Robert Peel (be the same more or less) the ordinary
circular, requesting, ' their attendance on the first night
of the session, as it is probable that business of import-
ance,' and so forth, in the usual terms of such docu-
ments."

It is decided that Walter Gay is to be dispatched
to Barbadoes as a junior clerk. The passages relating
to Mr. Carker the junior but really the senior, and
Mr. Carker the manager but really the junior, are
cleverly and touchingly written. Nothing about Miss
Tox, or Major Bagstock, or Captain Cuttle in this
number. We miss them.

The Builder states that the practical utility of
chalk as an article of fuel has been tested within the
last fortnight, according to a Salisbury paper, and with
the most satisfactory results. Surrounded with coal, it
gives a strong heat, and a clear fire, at half the usual
expense ; so that to the poor in the chalk districts it
must be an invaluable boon.
