Now Ready at all the Libraries, in 3 Vols.,
THE NEW NAVAL NOVEL,
THE PETREL.
"'The author of this interesting work is, we believe, Admiral
Fisher, who commanded at the blockade of Alexandria in 1840. By
his skill in depictinz life int the ocean, he will, we doubt not, simply
the place in nautical literature vacant by the death of the lamented
Captain Marrayat. His life of the ship is equally dashing, forcible,
and free. Fur a first offering we know of few other works of the
class, which in powerful description and refined humour could com-
pete with it. The whole cruise of The Petrel is a. narrative of vivid
interest."—Morning root.

Cerberus may be appeasei—the Ministerial hands that
throw those sops being little prepared for the real but
inevitable consequence of such agreeable and palate-
able concessions. Is it necessary to say what that
consequence is ? to say that the appetite for reduction
is only thereby whetted ? to say that the hunger and
thirst after retrenchment, so far from being dimi-
nished, becomes, as each additional sop is
swallowed, enormously and insatiably increased ?
We think not : we think it unnecessary to
detail these assertions—as unnecessary to do
so as to argue that the Government in acting as
they are doing are only laying up for themselves,
session after session, an accumulation of yet more im-
portunate difficulties.

Wonderful it is, but not the less true, that Cabinets
as well as individuals are incapable of profiting by ex-
perience. Not a reform has ever been refused by
Parliament, the refusal being accompanied by a con-
cession, but the demand from without has acquired
additional energy in consequence of that most absurd
kind of opposition. The refusal h,s been idh,
because accompanied by the concession : the
concession has been useless, because accompanied by
the refusal. Eappstite vient en mangeant. Bit by
bit these frivolous conces,ions have been consumed,
until, by one bold effort, the whole of the rest of the
reform has been gulped together. It was so with
the Corn-law question ; it will be so likewise with the
question of financial retrenchment. But will the
ruling Government, like that magnanimous Govern-
ment which preceded it, be open to the force of con-
viction, even though that conviction be opposed to
their own individual and political interests ? Is
Lord JOHN RUSSELL prepared at an emergency
to emulate that sublime moral courage evinced by
Sir ROBERT PEEL, by getting up in the House of
Commons, and in the presence of the country ac-
knowledging that his former views had proved erro-
neous ? Can we expect from the lips of the Noble
Premier, as from those of his Right Hon. predecessor,
a generous declaration that if any credit were due in
this matter it would he owing to " the unadorned
eloquence of RICHARD COBDEN ?" Time alone can
show whether the Whigs really possess this
magnanimity. Time alone can prove whether
as a body they are capable of this most honourable
and laudable kind of tergiversation.
Meanwhile we are steadily advancing with minute
steps towards the accomplishment by some party—be
it Whig, Radical, or Peelite, Tory, Agricultural, or
so-called Conservative —of all our brightest day-
dreams of financial reduction. Bluster as the aristo-
cratic faction may about their determination to with-
stand to the last the encroachments of the democratic
masses—they will prefer, as rational men,
to yield up some portion of their spoils,
rather than drive the people to that last
terrible extremity, in which, to use the power-
ful expression of Mr. CARLYLE, " the official
holy of holies is scandalously laid bare to dogs and
the profane." Rather than this, our good pampered
placemen will consent to forego some few of their
superfluous luxuries, a dozen or so of their golden
platters, an ell or so of their fine linen or their
purple. Fortunately the people can, by this moans,
be always secure of obtaining their reasonable wishes
for improvement ; they can always at the last push
obtain their heart's best desires by the Terror of the
Grand Alternative.

As we had anticipated last week, the delegates
appinted by the different Railway Companies to de•
termine the proper measures to be adopted for addi-
tional legislation on the audit of accounts, and
other purposes, have approved of the draft of a
Bill, which wilt, it is hoped, provide for the great
object to be attained at least as efficiently as the Go-
vernment measure, and which will not be open to the
grave and serious objections that may fairly be urged
against the latter. The gentlemen upon whom the
arduous duty devolved have well discharged the trust
confided to their hands, and have collectively and
individually earned for themselves the thanks and
gratitude of the large and influential constituencies,
by whom they were chosen ; and they have
shown how utterly unwarranted was the asser-
tion so rashly put forward by the Noble Vice-
President of the Board of Trade when he assured
the assembled Peers, that " it was not likely that
any large number of railway proprietors would corn.
bine to bring in any Bill cf the kind during the
present session. At that very time Mrd GRANVILLE
might have known that persons elected at public
meetings, and representing capital to the extent of
120,000,0001. sterling, had decided on the principles,
and almost: '"settled the details of such a Bill—
a Bill which we unhesitatingly declare to be
far superior, in every particular, to that
brought forward on behalf of the Government,
and which, if carriad into effect, would ensure the
great desideratum—a scrutinizing, searching, and
continuous audit of accounts, and convince the
shareholders and the public that the sum about to
be divided had been honestly earned within the pre-
ceding half-year, and that every expense incurred in
producing that revenue, whether actually paid or
hanging as a liability over the company, had been
faithfully provided for.
It may with much truth be asserted, that any
legislation on the subject is rather tardy, that we are
practically "shutting the stable-door after the steed
has been stolen." The gravest errors were com-
mitted by the payment of dividend out of capital;
but that will no longer be possible when
the capital account has been virtually closed, which
is, or will be, the case in the great majority of com-
panies before any law can be brought into operation.
If then the shareholders, with the limited powers
which they at present possess, have been enabled to
defeat the former boards, to institute the most
stringent and searching investigations, and bring to
light every mistake or fraud that has. been committed,
there is surely but little reason why they should
now be subjected to most vexatious and un-
necessary interference on the part of Govern-
ment, and that they alone, among British
capitalists, should be considered incapable cf
managing their own affairs, and looking after
their own property. We have seen joint-stock banks
involved in serious difficulties through the errors
and culpable negligence of their directors, but
it has never been proposed that the proprietors
should be no longer permitted to control their own
Concerns, or that all their accounts should be sub-
jected to the inspection of a prying official, whose
secresy could not be relied on, and whose disclosures
to rivals in business might be extremely prejudicial
to the best interests of the companies But yet we
ask, if the principle of extraneous interference be once
affirmed, if the sharp point of the wedge be intro-
duced, who can say what may be the results or to
what lengths it may not pro-zeed ? whether, in fact,
it may not lead to the establishment of an inquisito-
rial system, from which no Englishman engaged in
any joint-stock partnership will henceforth be secured'

Lord STANLEY', last night, in a singularly able
speech, explained the serious objections to the Go.
vernment Bill, and also the nature of the measures
that had been prepared by the delegates ; although it
could no longer be pretended that a Bill would not
be brought forward on the part of the shareholders.
Lord GRANVILLE still pressed forward, and would
not agree to a single day's postponement. It
is, however, probable, that he will consent that
both Bills should be referred to a Select Committee
to report fully on their respective merits to the House,
The Noble Lord has taken a day to decide, and we
trust that he will not persist in obstinately forcing a
measure most distasteful to an everwhelmning ma-
jority of those interested in railway property, with-
out a full and searching inquiry, and mature and
attentive consideration.

it may be well to state briefly the nature of the
Bill brought forward by Lord STANLEY, on behalf of
the delegates, before we enter into an examination of
the relative merits of the different propositions. The
Bill, after declaring that " it is expedient that to
make further provision for the keeping and
making out of • the accounts of all com-
panies
' in a uniform manner ; conveying more
full and detailed information respecting the financial
condition of zilch companies, their receipts and dis-
bursements, profit and losF, and enforcing a strict
separation in such accounts between the capital out-
lair of such companies and their current income and
expenditure, and affording better security that no
dividend shall be made by which the capital or stock
may be in any way impaired," provides that "the
accounts of every railway company already incorpo••

rated, or which may hereafter be incorporated, shall
be kept under the several heads or divisions, and in
the form, and showing the particulars set forth
in the schedule annexed to the Act, or as
near thereto as the circumstances of each
case will permit." We may here remark that
the schedule was prepared after full consideration by
persons fully competent to the duty, and that it will
ensure to the shareholders perfect information on
every point of real importance, or which is essential
for their interests to be made public.
It then provides fur the appointment of an audit
committee, consisting of five shareholders duly qua-
lified to act as directors, who are to be chosen at the
first ordinary meeting in every year (and not more
than three of whom shall be eligible for re-election
in each successive year), who shall certify in writing
to the secretary fourteen days before the ensuing ordi-
nary half-yearly meeting the names of two or more
persons whom they recononend to the shareholders
for election_ as auditors fir the then ensuing year,
and the most stringent means are adopted to keep the
committee so chosen wholly independent cf the direc-
tors. It also provides that there shall be a constant
change in the auditors by declaring that no auditor
shall be capable of being re-appointed at the meeting
in which he goes out of office in rotation. The mode
of appointment of the auditors is then declared, who
are also kept wholly free from the influence of the
boards, and no director is entitled to vote either in his
own right or in right of any other person on the
nomination or selection of either the audit com-
mittee or the auditors, only one of whom shall neces-
sarily be a shareholder, thus affording perfect freedom
of choice to the shareholders. The various points on
which it shall be the duty of the auditors to examine
and report are then enumerated, and they may make
" a joint or several, or special report, upon the ac-
counts and balance-sheet and scheme of dividend, and
upon any other matter or thing whatsoever that they
may think fit."

The auditors are also 'directed to employ a known
public accountant, or some fit and proper person,
well acquainted with railway► affairs and wholly un-
connected with and independent of the directors, or of
any person employed by such company, to assist them
in the matter of such audit ; and such accountant shall
have " such and the same powers, and perform the
same duties, and be provided with the same means
and facilities for;that purpose, as are given to the
auditors." In addition to these precautions for an effi-
cient and searching examination of the accounts, any
twenty or greater number of shareholders, holding
in the aggregate not less than one -t wentieth of the then
called-up capital of the company, are enabled to ap-
point a special auditor to examine the accounts and
balance-sheet for the then last past half-year, which
shall be conducted at their own expense, unless some
general meeting of the company, after the publication
of the report of such special auditor, should
otherwise provide. The Bill also contains
important regulations unconnected with the subject of
audit, for the better and more efficient management
of the undertakings, giving the shareholders the
greatest security against any improper conduct on
the part of the directors. Such are the chief features
of the proposed measure, which will afford the ut-
most security to the public against any future mis-
takes, without violating the great principle of perfect
independence, or allowing any extraneous influence
to interfere in the control and management of affairs
that essentially belong exclusively to those who have
invested their capital in the undertaking.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The elections were proceeding, and Paris was
perfectly tranquil ; of course nothing was known
as to the state of the scrutiny at the time the
post left.
The Patric gives the following explanation of the
Socialist vote of the army:—
"Some persons have made themselves uneasy about
the votes of the army published by the Red journals. In
the first place, these partial results are without decisive
importance, and they are largely compensated by other
partial results. The general vote of the army will, we
are convinced, be good. Secondly, a very simple ex-
planation can be given of certain votes published by the
Red journals. These are the votes of soldiers born in
Paris, and voting either in the departments or in Paris.
In the first case, the families of these soldiers, Yearly all
of whom are doinieiliated in the faubourgs, and yielding
to a certain influence, have written or dic wed the votes;
in the exid case, family relations and those of the
public-house have been active."
The Journal des Di bats, the organ of the French
Royalists, has a long article on the note of Count
.NkSBI4I.RODE to 111. DE Ban Now, in which it all but
admits that the Royalists of France are intriguing with
Russia to bring about a restoration. It says that it
had always heretofore preferred an English to a Rm•
sian alliance ; but it adds that now " domestic policy
predominates over foreign policy," the meaning of
which is sufficiently evident.
M. MARC DUFRAISsE, Representative of the
People, has been tried before the Court of Assizes
of Haute Vienne on a charge of sedition, and
acquitted.
AL DE FALLOUX was at Lyons on the Bth, en route
from Nice for Paris.

The Paris Bourse was dull, and scarcely any
business was transacted. The Five per Cents.
opened at 93f. 90c., and closed, after some fluctua-
tions, at the same price. The Three per Cents. closed
at Ogf. 20e. _

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed
heavily, n d prices cf American were slightly in
favour of buyers. The sales were estimated
at 3,500 bales, of which 300 American were
taken for export. The sales comprised 2,500 American
at 58d. to 81., 200 Pernam and Maranhao: at 6P. to 61d.,
300 Bahia at qd. to 6acl.; 300 Egyptian, at 64d. to Bd.;
200 Surat, at 41d. to 5d.; and 50 Sea [bland, at Is. to
Is. 60. per lb.—ln Railway Shares but little business
was done itt lower prices.
In the Colonial produce-markets there is still a com-
paratively limited business doin4 the Budget of the
Chancellor of the Exchcquer bring rather anxiously
looked for.

Accounts from Lille afford no further information
concerning the destination of M. Desmoutiers, the
stockbroker, who has a`nconded, but new frauds are
being daily found cur, and it is fortunate that the bulk
of them fdls upon parties who are comparatively able to
bear the loss.

At the fair of Huy, a large quantity of French and
German merchandise, suited for the remounting of ca-
valry, artillery, Su.., was disposed of, the attendance of
buyers being nuuaerou•.
The Bank of Belgium statement of accounts has been
made up, and the profits, besides 'giving a dividend of
4 per cent., afford a small surplus to cover the defalcs-
tion of a late employe. From Amsterdam it is
advised that although the negotiations for a
loan to the cxecut,,rs of the late King had been
unsuccessful, the creditors need not entertain the slightest
doubt of payment in full.
The general tendency of public securities at Amster-
dam, on the 10th inst., was rather feeble. Dutch Two•
and-a-Half per Cents. were 55 13-16. Peruvian were
particularly depressed, owing to the decline in Londor.
At Frankfort, on the 9th inst., Austrian Metallics were
81-a, and the Three per Cents. 29k.
As the period approaches for the development of the
plans of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, there is more
indulgence of surmise as to the course intended. It is
still believed that an effort will be made to reduce some of
the permanent debt, but there are at the same time
one or two articles of consumption place i in such an
anomalous position, that relief is almost imperative. The
adulteration of Coffee, favoured more than ever by Vie
existing high prices, is an evil to the consumer and a
detriment to the revenue, but how it can be prevented
requires grave consideration. The imposition of a duty
npun chicory is suggested as one course, the reduction of
the tax upon coffee as another, but either alternatives are
doubtless open to objections, though on opposite grounds.
Perhaps an union of the two plans would be most th-
sirable.

The Funds have been rather heavy again, owing to
the arrangements preparatory to the settlement of the
speculative account. Compared with yesterday, there is
a decline of about per cent. The foreign news
is of no importance, but the answers given
in Parliament last night by Lord Palmers-
ton are deemed satisfactory, and promise a pacific
termination to the Greek affair, despite the angry ful-
mination of the " leading " journal. The New Three
and-a- Quarter per Cents, have been 981 to 98k, and the
Three per Cents. 96i to a. Bank Stock is worth 2061
t0.207i, and India Stock 265. Exchequer-bills have been
marked 573. to 603., and India Bonds 84s premium.
The Foreign Investments have been rather depressed,
but there have been no large sales making. Peruvian
Active Bonds have been quoted 701 to 714, and the De-
ferred 29 to 294; Grenada Deferred have been 34 to 4;
Buenos Ayres, 51 to 52; Chilian, 1004; and Brazilian,
90. Mexican were dull at 29k, and Venezuela, 33. Spa-
nish Three per Cents. realised 36k, and Portuguese
Four per Cents. 34 to 35. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. were 55g.
Railway Shares are quiet, and the fortnightly account
is evidently still acting upon them, as they are at lower
rates in several instances.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the MASTER of the ROLLS.)
ORD V PARKIN.

The Master of the Roll this morning gave judg-
ment in this else which was part heard yesterday. It
will be remembered it was an applicaion to continue
until the hearing of the cruse, an injunction already ob-
tained exparte, to restrain the defendants, Joseph Par-
kin, R. Watterer, and John Bingley, from using or sell-
ing any flour, meal, or malt, at Wakefield, or the pa-
rishes within the manor thereof, not ground at the mills
of the plaintiff, and other millers, lessees of soke-mills
within the district, who claimed a monopoly of grinding
all corn and grain within the manor of Wakefield, under
a grant from the Dachy of Lancaster, in the sixth year
of the reign of James the First. It was contended by
by Mr. Turner, on the part of the plaintiffs, that
the custom within the soke district not only gave
them the exclusive privilege of grinding all
corn within the district, but precluded all the
freeholders, copyholders, tenants, inhabitaots' or
residents, within the privileged district, from
using, buying, or selling any flour, meal, or malt, not
ground at the soke-mills. It appeared that the
defendants, representing themselves agents of the
" Wakefield Free-trade and Economic Society," had
opened shops in the town of Wakefield, in which they
sold flour and meal procured from Leeds, and which
had not been ground at the soke-mills, which claimed
the monopoly ; and upon this prima facie infraction of
the privilege the injunction, which it was now sought
to have extended to the hearing, had been granted. The
extension of the injunction was now opposed by Mr. Lloyd,
on the part of the defendants, on the ground that the
custom did not extend the priviliges of the plaintiffs be-
yond the right of grinding all grindable corn within the
district, which they were bound to grind within
twenty-fonr hours af,er delivery, upon the payment of
the customary toll, or mulcture, which it was al-
leged, in consequence of the great increase of popu-
lation, they could not terform ; and that these mill-
owners sold flour and me il, which they procured from
foreigQ markets, not ground at the soke- mills. It
was further contended, that the Court had not jurisdic-
tion to continue the injunction until the plaintiffs had
established their right at common law, which it was
alleged had not been done in any case, t the extent of
excluding the inhabitants from buying, selling, or using
flour ground beyond the limits of the soke district, and
it was submitted that the course to be pursued was, that
the plaintiffs should be recoired to maintain the right
by an action at law, which would not only raise the
question as to the existence of the monopoly, to the ex-
tent claimed, hut also if found to exist, whether it was a
reasonable custom, and ought to be maintained.
The MASTER of the RoLns, in giving judgment this
morning, said—Let the injunction be continued. The
plaintiff, upon the coining in of the defendant's answer,
is to proceed to a trial at law, before the hearing of the
cause. But the terms of the order may be further
spoken to.
_ _

Mr. Turner and Mr. Bovil were counsel fir the plain-
tiff, and the defendants were represented by Mr. Lloyd
and Mr. Chapman Barber.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY).
A highly respectable-looking man, whose name did not
transpire, was charged with assaulting the police whilst
in the execution of their duty.
Police-con:table, 48 F, deposed that he was on duty
in the Strand this morning, about half-past one o'clock,
when his attention was drawn to the Lyceum Thcatre,
by hearing a loud noise proceeding from the box-
entrance. Upon his going thither to ascertain the cause
of the disturbance, he found the prisoner with a female
quarrelling. Having told them that they must not make
a noise at that hour in the morning, and that they must
also move on, ho went round his beat, thinking that by
leaving them for a few minutes they would take his
advice and go home quietly. On his return, however,
he still found them there, and having peremptorily
told the man that unless he went on his ‘s ay he would
remove him in custody, and he still refusing to do so, he
was forced to lock him up.

The prisoner, i❑ a most suppliant voice said, "Year
Worship, may I never stir out of this deck if it isn't
all a lie he has been telling you. I was in a good
humour last night, and I treated some girls to some
bread and cheese and stout, and when the police came
up to me at the Lyceum I was merely retuning t give
her a shilling to take her home in a cab.
Police-constable here said that he had not finisheJ.
As he was taking the prisoner to the st ition he became
very furious, and threw witness to the ground with
much force, and when he got him down the prisoner
kicked him several times. Had it not been fur the as-
sistance of another police-constable he would never have
been able to have taken him to the station-house, and
his hand was severely cut, as was also the prisoner's
head, by a spike upon which they both fell.
The prisoner az,ain denied that he had assaulted the
police. He had been ill from his birth, and was it likely
he would attack a policeman? _

Mr. JARDINE remarked that had he been sober, in-
stead of drunk, then he might have taken some trouble
with the case, but as the prisone7 was intoxicated when
the assault took place he must believe the police-con-
stable, and fine him for that assault 40s. or fourteen days
imprisonment. The fine was paid.

A quantity of green peas from Portugal, consigned
to Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, of Monument-yard, were
purchased by Mr. J. H. Tuck, purveyor to her Majesty,
of 13, Lowndes-street, Belgrave-square. Some of these
peas will appear this evening on the royal dinner table.
SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday
the gales of cotton at the Havre market amounted to
about GOO bales, at late quotations. The packet Egalia
arrived at that port yesterday from New York with cot-
ton. Business at Havre generally dull.
BURNING OF THE TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD
STEAM SAW-MlLLS.—Between five and six this morning,
there was an outbreak of a dreadful fire in the steam saw-
mills of Mr. Gabriel in Milford-place, London-street.
The police discovered the flames breaking through the
roof of the mills, which, though but one story in height,
extended a considerable depth and length. A range of
cow-houses belonging to Mr. Howe, in Princes-street,
Tottenhara•court-read, flanked one side of the building,
As soon as the police could arouse the family of Mr.
Gabriel, they exerted themselves in the rescue of the cows
out of the adjoining premiies. By that time the premises
were on fire in every part, throwing so great a light in
the atmosphere es to be seen from all quarters of the
metropolis. The brigade and West of England engines
were soon on the spot, but the destructive element could
not be mastered until the whole of the saw-mills were
burnt down. There were ills° many of the adjoining
premises more or less injured. Not the slightest infor-
mation could be elicited as to the cause of the fire or
whether the property was insured. The total loss wai
said to exceed 2,000/.
Toe Antwerp papers notice the default of NI.
Desmontiers, a stockbroker and mom y agent at Lille,
who ha.., it appears, absconded, leaving large liabilities
unprovided for. Not only has he defrauded his cus-
tomers of considerable sums with which he was intrusted
to pay calls on shares, but he has also, it is alleged, made
away with the securities themselves. Adding the crime
of forgery to his other d,linquencie-, it has been disco-
vered that hills are in circulation, negotiated through
his instrumentality, with the signatures of nearly 20 of
the leading firms of Lille attached, all of which are
proved to be fictitious. No accurate account of the
gross amount of his responsibilities has yet been ascer-
tained, but it is believed they will turn out to be heavy.
One house, it is stated, loses 80,0001., another 30,000 t.,
and a manufacturing company nearly 180,000 f. It is
presumed that the fugitive has proceeded to Batnburgh,
where it is asserted he will be safe from surrender to the
French authorities. _ . .
