This Company has been fored under extensive patronage for the
purpose of meeting the great and pressing demand of that large and
increasing class of Lomon "Diners-out," for a good dinner with
efficient attendance, and at moderate prices. The want of such an
establishment on a la• ge scale has for a long period been seriouily
*R.

The Directors have, therefore, secured the Hungerford Hall, which
is in immediate proximity to one of the central stations of the omni-
bus traffic of London. close to the Western nucleus of the steam-boat
traffic at Hungerford-pier, and otherwise favourably situa* ed. It is
proposed to fit it up as an ancient hall of chivalry, and care will be
taken to insure historical accuracy, so that visitors will be at-
tracted, not only by the peculiar advantages of a good dinner at a
moderate price, but by a desire to see what the Hall is intended to be
—one of the Sights of London.
It will be necesary to say a few words respecting the profits
which it is anticipated will accrue. It is well known that in a busi-
ness of this nature (a purely cash trade) the rate of interest re-
turned upon the money Invested is very high, and calculations in de-
tail, having been carefully made by competent persons, clearly show
the directors are right in stating the profits at 'at per cent. The ori-
ginal ow lay,comprising purchase of lease of premises. plate, linen,
&.c., WI I be considerably under 8,0001., including a carefully-selected
cellar of wine.
The amount of the shares themselves is small, and designedly so,
in order that all classes may participate in their proprieto•ship.
For detailed prospectuses and forms of, application for shares, ap-
ply to the secretary, at the offices of the Company, Hungerford
Hall, Strand.

THE COMING CABINET MEETINGS AND

CABEVET MEASURES.

The first of November draws near, and with it the
members of the cabinet, and the heads of the different
departments, will soon attend to the business of the
nation. Many will sigh at being obliged to return to
bard work ; but whilst Lord Palmerston remains Pre-
mier all must make up their minds to follow in his wake
in a determination to get througlebusiness. One of the
great causes why so many measures brought in by the
Government have hitherto bad to be abandoned is that
they have been prepared by the different departments at
so late a period that it is impossible to pass them the
same session. They are frequently brought in in a crude
and undigested state, and, with the exception of those who
have immediate charge of them, the other members of
the Government know as little about their details as the
opposition. This drawback to business was peculiarly
felt last session, when bill after bill was withdrawn, to
the delight of the operation and the annoyance of the
Government. Lord Palmerston, however, determined
to introduce a thorough reform in this respect, and it was
ordered that those departments which had any tells to
introduce next session, should he ready, by the Ist Nov.
next, to submit them to the cabinet, who will meet twice
or thrice a week until Parliament re-assembles. By this
course, it is hoped, that, instead of the months of Feb-
ruary, March, and April, being frittered away, bills will
be introduced as soon as Parliament meets, and that be-
fore Easter many important measures will be so advanced
as to pass in the month of May, instead of at the close
of the session in August, or perhaps not passed at all.
Last session the massacre of the innocents, as it is
called, was considerable, but many of these measures
will he again brought forward, and it is anticipated with
somea hat happier results. The General Board of Health
introduced four bills last session—namely, the Puhln
Health Amended Bill, the Burial Bill, the Vaccination
Bill, and the Medical Profession Bill, which, one after
the other, were rejected. It is, however, proposed to
re-introduce them with amendments next session. The
Public Health Bill was thrown out because the recom-
mendations of the select committee were not sufficiently
adhered to ; perhaps this time the omission will be recti-
fied. The Vaccination Bill was rejected on account of
its compulsory character, and of statements made by seve-
ral members,' that doubts were entertained by a certain
portion of the medical profession as to the efficiency of
vaccination. The bill next session will, as soon as it
is introduced, be referred to a select committee. It may
pass, but it is very doubttul. The Medical Profession
Bill will also be again brought forward, but, from the
difficulty of getting the members of the medical profes-
sion to agree among themselves, it stands a chance of
following the same fate as before. This will be about
the twelfth measure of the kind that has been brought
forward at least. The Burials Bill will probably pass if
the Public Health Btll is carried. The Board of Trade
will again bring forward those measures which were
shelved last session after having been referred to select
committees. The bill for obtaining agricultural statis-
tics will also be introduced at an early period of the ses-
sion, and will be referred to a select committee, with the
view of ascertaining the best means of obtaining accurate
information without having recourse to inquisitorial pro-
ceedings. Originally it was proposed that the collection
of facts should be obtained through the Poor Law Board,
and from the vast machinery which the board has at
their disposal throughout the country, this would be the
most natural course to pursue. It seems, however, that
the Pour Law Board is not very popular with the far-
mers, and several large landholders, among whom is the
Earl of Derby, recommend the statistical department
of the Board of Trade as the best medium to obtain the
information. It is feared, however, that the new ma-
chinery they would have to create would be of too costly
a character. There is another department which
might procure it with but little trouble and cost—
viz., the Registrar General's department. The whale
of the country is divided into districts and sub die-
tricts, with proper officials appointed, throneh whom
the last teems was tak<zu ; and, next to the P,.-or Law
Board, this, would anear to be the belly u,rst available.
Ore nf the great questions that will oct,upy the rttention
of the Cabinet before Parliament meets will be the sub-
ject of education ; already three eminent statesmen have
prepared and submitted plans to Pariatnerit, and it will
be the duty of Government to decide which of the three
methods they will adopt, if they adopt any. The vexed
question of Church rates will stand the chance of being
in the same position at the end of meet session as it was
at the end of the last, for the subject is not yet B"inel-
ently ripe fur the Government to introduce a measure.
The Metropolis Local Management Act will require to
be amended, difficulties having intervened as to raising
sufficient funds to meet the heavy amounts that will be
requited in a short time. The Lord Chancellor and the
law officers of the Crown, both in England and Ireland,
will have to be ready with measures early in the session,
founded on the voluminous evidence taken before the
select committee. The Home Secretary will once again
have to deal with the corporation of the City of London ;
and, it is expected, with more success than last year.
These are a few of the measures that are now in prepara-
tion, and will be ready for consideration when the
cabinet meets in November.— Observer.
