ANOTHER BRIDGE OVER THE THAMES.—Wednes-
day notice was given to the public, that application is
intended to be made to Parliament in the ensuing
session for leave to bring in a Bill for making and construct-
ing a bridge over or across the river Thames, at from, or
near Essex-street, Strand, to the opposite shore, at or
near to Dowsen's wharf, in the Marsh and Wall liberty.
Also for making and maintaining a market at or near
the south-end of the proposed bridge ; and also to ob-
tain powers for the compulsory purchase of lands and
houses, and to levy tolls, rates, or duties in respect of
the said bridge and market.
PRIVY COUNCIL.—On Wednesday summonses were
issued for a Privy Council to be holden at Windsor Castle,
at half-past two to-morrow. A special train, ordered
for half-past one o'clock, is to convey the several Mini-
sters to Slough.
THE DAGENHAM MIIRDER.—The three police-con-
stables, named Butfoy, Fearns, and Stevens, who have
been under surveillance in consequence of the contra-
dictory evidence they gave relative to the murder of the
policeman Clark, at Dagenham, have been dismissed
from the force, of which notice was Wednesday given.
The Attorney and Solicitor-General were of opinion that.
as the policemen were not sworn at the time they gave
false evidence, they could not be indicted for perjury.
SLOP-WORK AND DESTITUTION.—Wednesday Mr.
Baker held an inquest at the Duke of Wellington, Lime-
house-fields, on the body of Julia Fitzgerald, aged 16
years. The body lay in a small back room at /slo. 17,
George-street. The room presented bare walls, no fur._
niture but a single chair, and a few broken articesiot!
'crockery. It appeared, by the evidence
.of severaln_ wtwo
neSses;that the mother of deceased, a widow, d
and were in great
other children, of w.hom.doepcewaasiest woaatsst,he eldest, obtaineda
their living by making slop

otlof2o;sk. on which occasion
a row took place, and the son and two married daughters
of the landlord beat the deceased, saying, "You
take that." She subsequently fainted. Mr. Horton,
surgeon, said he had attended deceased. She died from
pleurisy, which might have been accelerated by violence.
The Coroner said the case assumed a serious aspect, and
adjourned the inquiry.
REPRESENTATION OF CAMBRIDGE.—Judging,' frein
present appearances, we are disposed to believe that in the
event of a vacancy for this county the Marquis of Granby
is likely to be returned.—Cambridge Advertiser.
An extra Gazette was published on Wednesday
night, extending to xt en sheets, cottAining announce,
inents of Railway and oticr Bill,, which will be applied
. for in the next session of Parliament.

The treaties concluded with the United States, France,
and Holland, have for their object the consolidation and
extension of our commercial relations. The discussion
of these treaties, the law of general responsibility, the
laws upon depots and upon sugars, have rendered your
last session happily remarkable.
The manufacture and the trade in sugars resume their
ancient importance, and the Exchequer retains the pro-
fits which you have wished to secure it.
Among the propositions which it remains for you to
consider, I would point out especially the law respecting
secondary instruction. This project, which has received
some new developments, will complete our system of
public education. My Government recommends this
great question of social government to your enlightened
consideration. It expects with confidence its solution

in the piesent session:
The prosperity of the principal branches of commer-
cial wealth is generally maintained and developed. The
next national exposition will enable us to appreciate the
success of our manufacturers. Unfortunately, in spite
of our progress and our hopes for the future, other in-
terests, to which I have devoted all my sympathy, are
suffering in a portion of our country under a crisis of
which it is impossible to misunderstand the importance.
The state of the population which is employed in the
linen manufacture requires immediate measures of relief.
To encourage and to render effective labour, with a view
to the increase of wages, to organize industry, so as to
render the products more in harmony with the necessi-
ties of commerce, to increase the exports—such are the
principal cares of my Government. The means for an
active intervention on the part of the State in these re-
spects will be proposed to you.

- The measures taken to secure the alimentation of the
country, the numerous works of general utility, public
and private succour have powerfully assisted the neces-
sitous classes in supporting the privations resulting from
the defective crop of potatoes in 1845. This year the
crop of potatoes has been satisfactory ; but the high
price of provisions, and particularly the failure of the
rye harvest, demand the serious attention of the Cham-
bers and the Government. The prorogation of the law
relative to subsistence,—the allocation of the necessary
subsidies for public works and exceptional aids, which
circumstances may require,— will, no doubt, produce
fortunate results.

The canalization of the Campine advances with entire
success. The irrigation, which may henceforth be con-
tinued and extended, the construction of roads, and
other measures which will be proposed to you, will
insure in a few years the clearance of this part of our
territory.
The projects of law relative to agricultural and vete-
rinary instruction will be immediately submitted to your
examination.

The operations of the census proceed with regularity.
The returns already collected, although incomplete,
establish a remarkable increase of population. As the
political situation of the country is calm, I am now en-
abled to announce to you the presentation of a project of
law for the augmenting of the number of members in
the two Chambers. This law will have, with respect to
its operation, an urgency referable to the period of the
approaching elections.
In conformity with the aim of the constitution, deli-
berations having for their object the revision of different
portions of the legislation have been continued. Projects
respecting the tribunals of commerce, personal arrest,
delays, bankruptcies, have been transmitted for the opi-
nion of the judicial body and the universities. I hope
that they may be presented to you in the course of the
present session. The modifications projected in the
code of criminal instruction, as also in the new discipli-
nary code for the merchant sea service, will shortly be
laii before you.
The attention of the Government has also been directed

to the regulation of the lunatic establishments, of the
Monts de Pike, and to the creation of agricultural co-
lonies. Propositions will be submitted to you for the
realisation of those ameliorations which humanity and
the state of society require.
I desire the prompt discussion of the project of law

relative to the penitentiary system.
The state railway traffic has received, in 1846, a fresh
and remarkable extension. The completion of the double
lines now in course of execution, and of the railways
conceded, the works of which are begun at several points,
will likewise react in a favourable manner on a state of
things already very prosperous.
It has become possible to endow with a legislative
organization this grand national enterprise, and propo-
sitions will be submitted to you for determining the
bases of the charges, and for the regulation of the rail-

_
way system.
Tha most important public measures remaining for
examination relate to the management of navigable
waterways. Various projects are under consideration,
and the means of execution will be asked of you suc-
cessively as the condition of the Treasury will permit.
In order to increase the resources of the working
classes, my Government will give a powerful impulse to
the construction of the roads already decreed, and to the
amelioration of the cross-roads.

The army, one of the firm supports of the indepen-
dence of the country, and of its institutions, continues
to render itself worthy of my entire confidence and of
tha interest which you manliest for it. The efforts of
my Government are directed to maintain in its ranks a
useful emulation, and the sentiment of its duty towards
its country. All the measures calculated to advance it
and to secure its well-being will, I doubt not, obtain
your hearty concurrence. The modifications of the law
respecting the militia, the reforms proposed with re-
spect to the system of penalties, and the law relative to
the service de sante, will powerfully contribute to effect
this end.
In spite of exceptional circumstances, affecting the
produce of dertain sources of public revenue, the equili-
brium between the receipt and the expenditure of the
State can be maintained without imposing fresh sacri-
fices on the taxpayers.
The greater part of the budget of expenditure for the
year 1847 has already been presented to you : the
budget of receipt and the completion of the budget of
expenditure for that year will be immediately laid before
you. In the course of the session, and as soon as esti-
mates can be formed, you will have communicated to you
the budgets of expenditure and of ways and means for
the year 1848.
Gentlemen,—Belgium, in the bosom of peace, has de-
veloped the germs of a fruitful activity. In reflecting on
the results already obtained, we are enabled to contem-
plate the future with confidence. The accord of the

-great powers of the State,—the support which you have
given to my Government, and on which I continue to
depend, will enable us to preserve and consolidate our
institutions. Th., aspiration breathed by our country
for ages, that she might have an existence for herself,
and the disposal of her numerous resources, is realised
in our days. It will always be a source of great happi-
ness to me to reflect that my efforts have contributed to
insure to Belgium the precious advantages of free and in-
dependent existence.
