They were afterwards read a first, and ordered
to be read a second, time on the sth of March.

Mr. BROCKLEHURST last night gave notice
that he should move, on the 25th of March,
for a Select Committee to inquire into the
constitution of the South Sea Company, with
a view to pay off, or to transfer, the
Funds of the said Company to the Consolidated
Fond, and to provide for the payment of the
dividends thereon by the Bank of England.

The French papers of Mondav have come to
hand, but they are de,titute of interest or im•
portance. The Spanish Ministry were busy
endeavouring to extricate the nation from
its financial embarrassments, for which
and other purposes the Cortes were to be
convoked. It is said that the Emperor
of RUSSIA affects to be very easy on the
score of politics, and devotes himself to gaiety
and feasiingtt he good people of St. Petersburgh,
thirty thousand of whom were invited to a
grand ball !

Brussels papers of the 10th instant have been
received. One of them states that the Govern-
ment will shortly present to the Chambers a
project of law for the purpose of declaring neu-
tral the territory of some entrepots in our mari-
time cities, in order that foreigners may there
import and export by their ships all kinds o'
merchandise, without being. subject to any for-
mality, duty, or superintendence, this liberty to
continue till they have sold their goods either
for consumption, transit, or re•exportation.
These papers contain no other news.

The following extracts, from German papers
received this morning, require no comment :

VIENNA, FEB. I.—The German Congress will probably last
several months, continuing, at the same time, to be sedulously
occupied. 'I here was another full sitting yesterday, under the
presidency of Prince Metternich, which lasted from half-past
eleven to half-past two. Now that the Eastern affairs are set-
tled, attention is devoted to those of Spain, which alone affect
our funds, our exchange following the impulse of that of Paris.
By the change of ministry in Spain the aspect of affairs is
changed, and the announced recognition of the actual Govern-
ment by the Northern Powers is again deferred. This will doubt-
less be carried into effect as soon as it is deemed the new admi.
nistration possesses sufficient power and confidence to put an end
to the civil war,without at the same time renouncing the moderate
system, founded on monarchical principles, hitherto observed.
Reform continues to advance in Servia. A journal in the
Servian language appears also in Kragujewatz ; it comprises
politics and literature, and is under the special direction of M.
Davidowich. The first number gives an account of the visit
of Prince Milosch to Belgrade. The Hessian Minister of State,
Meyssenberg, has arrived here.

Allgemeine Zeitung, Feb. 6.

So long since as the Btil of March, 1831,
we stated in The Sun, that some strong repre-
sentations had been made to the Government
by a Mr. BOYD, relative to the vast abuse of
patronage, and gross misappropriation of the
funds of the turnpike roads, under the existing
irresponsible domination ; and, from Lord
MELBOURNE'S communication to that gentle.
man, we were led to assume that the reign of
misgovernment in this wide field for peculation
and corruption would, ere long, be subjected to
some wholesome revision.

The facts elicited by a Committee of the
House of Lords last year, coupled with evi-
dences of delinquencies furnished even by the
participators themselves, left no doubt of the
p.opriety of substituting some more efficient and
responsible control ; his Majesty's Ministers
have therefore determined, as will be seen by
the announcement of Lord HOWICK in the
House of Commons, to bring in a Bill to
" consolidate the trusts, and place the turnpike
roads under a general plan of regulaion."
To the indefatigable exertion of Mr. BoYD
—his practical acquaintance with the deformities
of the systetn—the perspicuity with which he
has laid them naked, and the unwearied atten-
tion the Duke of RICHMOND has bestowed
upon the subject, we believe the public will be
indebted for the advantages that will doubtless
result from the proposed reformation of the
Turnpike Laws.
