One of the greatest improvements which is in progress
of adoption, and in which the shipping interests are
concerned, connected with the affairs of. Lloyd's, is that
of having a room entirely devoted to the reception and
inspection of authorised charts, delineating the bearings
of the coasts of the world. We find that a meeting was
held yesterday afternoon of the merchants connected
with Lloyd's, at which thanks were carried unanimously
to the King of Prussia for a present of a most valuable
set of charts, published by his order, from actual sur-
veys. The same well-deserved compliment was paid
to the East India Company for large number of similar
useful references for the chart-room. No doubt all foreign
governments having a seaboard will follow the example
of his Prussian Majesty, and of the Court of Directors
of the East India Company. Indeed there cannot be a
doubt but that this new and most excellent plan of the
Committee of Lloyd's will be adopted by every country
in civilised Europe, by which the correct and true bear-
ing of distant ports may be had easily by tie captains of
vessels who trade with foreigners. The records of the
Admiralty Court are loaded with instances in which
vessels arriving on our coasts have fallen into danger,
and too frequently become a total loss, by the masters
making a vague guess of the course they hare to take ;
and the same may be said in numberless instances with
respect to captains of our own mercantile fleet chartered to
foreign ports. All those who are connected with British
shipping ought, therefore, to aid the grand object of
Lloyd's Committee by forwarding authorised charts so
that the collection may be complete as near as can be.
No late arrivals from the Colonies have been an-
nounced this morning.
A new set of tables has just been issued by the Com-
missioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, for the
conversion of Stock into annuities for lives and for fixed
periods. The old set of tables did not take so high a
range as par for Consols, and hence the necessity of cal-
culations for annuities to be granted under such a
favourable state of circumstances. It may be useful to
mention that the new tables may be had upon applica-
tion, without fee, at the National Debt-office, in the Old
Jewry.
The market for the English securities is to- day on the
advance again, and in consequence of one or two pur-
chases only we have had Consols up..to 991 and 1001

}ASTARDT ARREARS.—We have already observed
that a woman cannot recover more than thirteen weeks'
arrears for her bastardy child, if she neglects to make
application to a justice bevound that period. When one
month is due she can proceed against the father, and it
will be advisible not to delay, after a month, making
the necessary application. This new law abounds with
blunders.

FRENCH RAILWAYS.
FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.)
The Minister of Public Works has not yet arrived
in Paris from his tour of inspection. He is expected
impatiently by the parties who have entered iut,°,
competition for the two lines of railway, which `Fill
be adjudicated on the sth of October ; viz. the line
from Orleans to Vierzon, and that from Orleans t°
Tours and Bordeaux. For the first line there are but
two competitors, and it is said that an arrangement
will probably be made between them, so as to cob„'"
from the Government the most advantageous tern*
Of the four competitors for the Orleans and Bor.
Meaux line, it said, that there is but one
company that of the Comte d'Anthouard, who are
legally constituted, and which offers to the commissil
charged with the examination of the pretensions °
each that requisite moral guarantee for the executifo
of the line. The companies formed separately 1
nte,
Messrs. Drouillard and Rothschild have prese
no list of subscribers. Mackenzie's line be''
few supporters in France. The shares lir:
distributed nearly all in England. There laid
strong opinion that this company, having
td,
its plans so mal-adroitly, that it will not even be, em
mitted into the competition. The company 01
Comte d'Anthouard have put in a list of 2,100 French
subscrihers, independent of the subscription I°''
warded from England.
Amongst the French Committee of this ConIPAnYi;
are some of the most practical as well as powerful rue,
in France. The opinion is in favour of its obtairuP°
