road Bills to be brought before the Chamber in the, course of
the present session. These Bills are, first, those granting
concessions which were left last year under reports of Com-
mittees, viz., the Bordeaux and Cette, Mulhouse and Dijon,
and Paris and Rennes roads. Then come three new ones :
one, relating to the Caen road; the second, the continuation
to Limoges and Clermont of the Chemin du Centre; and the
third, the Vitry-le-Frainais and Gray road, instead of the
canal in this direction proposed last year. The Government
appears to have resolved not in future to grant any but direct
concessions (grants on the responsibility of the Minister, and
without tender); and according to all probability, the Caen,
Rennes, Limoges, and Clermont roads, will be given to the
Rouen, Versailles, and Orleans companies, as being prolon-
gations of those railroads.
The following are the railways which are to be opened to
the public in the course of 1846 :—The Northern.—The sec-
tion from Paris to Pontoise is to be open for circulation in a
few days ; that from Pontoise to Clermont, and from Cler-
mont to Amiens, in the month of May. The section from
Amiensto Lille will be given up to the Company en May 1,
and can be opened to the public in a month after. Orleans to
Tours.—The first section of the Bordeaux line will be opened
in the month of March. Nanterre to St. Germain.—This is
the atmospheric line, and it will be opened in the beginning
of May. Orleans to Vierzon.--The opening is fixed for the
month of August, but it depends on the works at the bridge
over the Loire, commune of St. Jean-le-Blanc. The section
of the Lyons line between Dijon and Chalons will be termi-
nated this year, but it will not be opened before 1847.
The Journal de Loiret states that the viaduct of the Vier-
zon line, at Orleans, appears destined to the same fate as that
of Barentin. One arch, it says, has given way, and others
are cracked.

Early on Wednesday evening Lyons was enveloped in a
fog so dense that even the gas-lights could not be seen until
one was so near as to be able to touch them. The coach-
men were obliged to leave their boxes, and lead their horses
by the head, and even this did not prevent some accidents.
In the Place Bellecour a thief snatched a lady's shawl from

The Grand Council of the Canton of Berne met on the
12th. The question of the revision of the constitution
was agitated in the first sitting. Three opinions were
expressed. One, of the Conservative party, rejects all
revision as dangerous at present, and as opposed to the
majority of the will of the people. The second opinion,
which aims at revising by a constituent, had for organs the
members of the Grand Council, who convoked the popular
assemblies, and amongst others, the President of the Court of
Appeal, M. Funk. The third, which, confining itself strictly
within the bounds of the constitution, calls for a revision only
by the Grand Council, was defended by four speakers, one of
whom was a Councillor of State. The Government appears
taking measures for eventualities in case of attack. It is
almost certain that if the Grand Council rejects the wishes
of the popular assemblies, Berne will be invested by the
populations of Seeland and Oberland. The other cantons,
apprehending a crisis which would affect the rest of Switzer-
land, have sent delegates to study the situation and follow
the discussion of the Grand Council.

THE SUN" EXPRESSES.
We have to acknowledge our obligations to the Messrs. John-
ston, of Dublin, for The Sun of Tuesday, containing the Funds'
Share and other news up to that evening. This number of
The Sun was expressed to Dublin by those enterprising
news agents, and reached that city at two o'clock, P.M., on
Wednesday.—Kerry Examiner, 16th January.
Through the kindness of Messrs. Johnston and Co., Eden-
quay, we have just received The Sun of Wednesday, by ex-
press, in twenty-four hours from London to Dublin. On
Wednesday, at Mark-lane, prices of grain were looking dowll'
and business very dull.—KiikennyJourna/, 17th January.
THE MESSRS. JOIINSToN AND CO., OF DUBLIN.—As an. in-
stance of the enterprising spirit of those gentlemen, we may
mention that we received yesterday morning a copy of the
London Sun of Wednesday evening, which they had conveyed
by present to Dublin, within twenty hours ! We have had
frequently to present our acknowledgments to Messrs. John-
ston for similar favours.—Kilkenny Moderator, 17th January.
We are indebted to Messrs. Johnston, the enterprising
news agents, Eden-quay, Dublin, for a second edition of The
Sun of the 13th instant, containing important documents
underneath, in reference to the annexation of Texas to the
United States.—Sligo Journal, Jan. 16.
We were this morning similarly favoured, through the
agency of the same firm, by a copy of the London Sun of
Tuesday evening, which they received at two o'clock r.m.
yesterday. It contains an account of the funds, share, and
other markets, as well as proceedings in the various courts of
law in London, which took place on Tuesday. The value of
early intelligence from London is of the utmost importance
to this country, more particularly in the present state of the
corn and other markets. The Messrs. Johnston are, there-
fore, doing the state good service by their independent and
energetic expresses.— Westmeath Guardian, Jan. 15.

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT..—SIR ROBERT PEEL'S

announce to the House of Commons, on Thursday evening,
that it is his intention to lay before the House of Commons,
on the ensuing Monday, a full statement of his financial and
other plans for the session, The country will, therefore, soon
be in possession of the nature of the changes which Govern-
ment contemplates with reference to the tariff; and great
practical convenience will undoubtedly arise out of so early
revelation.—Herald.
