FRANCHISE EXTENSION.

The measure to be proposed by Mr. Locke King on
this subject is as follows:
A Bill to make the franchise in counties in Eogland and
Wales the same as that in boroughs, by giving the
right of voting to all occupiers of tenements of the
annual value of ten pounds.
Whereas it is expedient to extend the elective fran-
chise to many of Her Majesty's subjects who have not
heretofore enjoyed the same : Be it therefore enacted
by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the
advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal,
and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled,
and by, the authority of the same,
1. That, from and after the passing of this Act,* every
male person of full age, and not subject to any legal iu-
capacity, who shall occupy, as owner or tenant, any
lands or tenements of the clear yearly value of not less
than ten pounds, or for which he shall be liable to a clear
yearly rent of not less than ten pounds, shall be entitled
to vote in the election of a knight or knights of the
shire to serve in any future Parliament for the county,
riding, parts, or division of the county in which such
lands or tenements shall be respectively situate. Pro-
vided always that such lands or tenements be not situate
within the limits of any city or borough now entitled to
return a burgess or burgesses to Parliament. Provided
also that such occupier shall not be entitled so to vote,
unless he be duly registered as such ♦oter, and shall not
be entitled to be so registered in any year unless he
shall have occupied lands or tenements of such value or
at such rent as aforesaid for one calendar month at least
next before the last day of July in such year.
2. That the Act passed in the second year of King
William the Fourth, to amend the representation of the
people in England and Wales, and an Act passed in the
sixth year of her present Majesty, to amend the law for
the registration of persons entitled to vote, and to define
certain rights of voting, and to regulate certain pro-
ceedings in the election of Members to serve in Parlia •
ment for England and Wales, and the present Act, shall
be construed as one Act.

* The words printed in Italics are proposed to be in-
serted in Committee.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.
The half-yearly statement of accounts shows that the
receipts on capital account have been 3,750,0001. and up-
wards, including preference shares and loans on deben-
tures. In addition to this, there has been received for
ti.ansfer fees, calls overpaid, interest on cash balance,
and tolls from Shrewsbury and Chester Company, some-
thing more then 19,000/, giving a capital reeeipt of up-
wards of 3,770,000/ This is augmented by about
51,0001., the balance of earnings previous to the com-
mencement of the revenue account. There are then ad-
vances on steam-boats, surplus lands, materials, &0.,
amounting to 100,000/, so that the gross receipts under
the head of capital are not far short of 3,930,0001.
The expenditure for the railway has been 3,240,0001.,
including 7,700/ for carrying stock. The steam-boats,
including alterations, have cost nearly 163,0001.; the in-
terest paid on calls from October, 1844, to December,
1848, amounts to nearly 200,0001.; the interest on loans
on debentures, to upwards of 100,000 L; and the divi-
dend on preference shares to June, 1849, to 40,000/.
The Mould Railway has cost 163,0001. The entire ex-
benditure has been nearly 3,914,000/, and leaves a
alance of about 16,0001.
The gross revenue receipts for thehalf-year amount to
between 77,0001. and 78,0001., and the working expanses
(including rates and taxes, &c.), to about 37,0001. or
38,000/. Thera has been a loss of upwards of 2,000/.
OD the working of the steam-boats. We believe the
balance in favour of the half-year will be about 37,0001.
Against the balance of 37,000/. are the following
claims, so far as the half-year's working is concerned:—
viz., six months' dividend on 629,635/.; preference capi-
tal at 5i per cent., 17,314/.; six months' dividend on loan
of 972,0321., at 4i per cent., 21,870/.; and also on the
loan of 112,3001., at 5 per cent., via., 2,8074, or in the
gross 41,9911.
The summary of outstanding balances in the traffic
and revenue accounts, with the charges of interest, &c.,
upon the same, show that the balance on traffic of the
half-year of December, 1849, the June half-year of 1850,
and the last half-year is 96,000/.
