TIIE HUNGERFORD SUSPENSION

BRIDGE.

PROPOSED RAILWAY TO RICHMOND.
Yesterday the Half-yearly General Meeting of the
Shareholders in the llungerford and Lambeth Sus-
pension-bridge was held at the Company's Office,
No. 9, Villiers-street, Strand, C. W. Christie, Esq.,
in the chair. The objects of the meeting were to re-
ceive the report of the Directors, and to consider the
propriety of effecting such alterations in the origi-
nally proposed plan for the construction of this bridge,
which was intended solely for the transit of foot pas-
sengers, but which it was now deemed advisable so to
alter, as to adapt it to the traffic of a railroad, in con-
sequence of the projected line of railway to Richmond,
the terminus of which was to be at Hungerford
market.
The CLuitic read the report, which stated that the
works of the bridge were rapidly progressing to-
wards completion. The iron-work and materials
had been supplied, the most difficult portion of the
operation, that of raising the cross-chains, had been
completed, and the-'-upper chains were now being
fixed. The schedule of the receipts and expen-
diture were stated to be :—Receipts arising from
calls, loan commission, rents, dividends, &c., 89,067/.
19s. Bd., while the total amount of expenditure under
the head of materials, wages, &c., was 88,7561. The
report then proceeded to dilate upon the advantages that
would be likely to accrue from the formation of the
Richmond line of railway, and concluded by stating
that such a railway terminus in Hungerford market
would be likely to attract most of the traffic of the
southern line of railway. He next proceeded to read
the report of the engineer, in which, after going mi
nutely into the details connected with the structure, it
was stated that no doubt now remained as to the com-
pletion of the bridge for foot passengers this autumn.
The CHAIRMAN, after congratulating the Proprie-
tors on the for ward state of the works of the bridge,
said that a new project had been started by a most
influential body of gentlemen, who had formed them-
selves into a Provisional Committee for the purpose
of constructing a line of railway from Richmond to
the Surrey end of the Suspension-bridge, and having
a line of rails across the bridge for the transit of car-
riages, thence into Hungerford-market, where they
proposed to have the grand terminus. The expense
and time consequent upon such an alteration of the
present structure of the bridge, so as to fit it for the
transit of railway carriages, would be trifling in com-
parison to the vast amount of profit to be derived from
it, because the bridge was built in the most substan-
tial manner. The Hungerford Suspension-bridge
Company was most anxious to do everything in their
power to forward the construction of a line of railway
to Richmond ; and he could also say the same thing
of the Hungerford-market Committee.
In reply to Mr. MILLER,
Mr. CUADWICK, the contractor for the works, said
the amount of expense for making the proposed line of
rails across the bridge, and necessary alterations,
would not be more than between 1,000 and 1,500/. ;
the time would occupy about three months.
Mr. STUTELY proposed a resolution, to the effect
that the Proprietors authorised the Directors to adopt
such means as they should deem most advisaMe for
forwarding negotiations between any company which
might be found for the construction of a railway to
Richmond, in order that the Suspension-bridge might
be made the medium of transit between the Surrey
shore and the terminus at Hungerford-market.

Carried unanimously.
On the motion of the same gentleman, seconded by
Mr. GRISSELL, it was resolved unanimously, that the
Directors be empowered to make such alterations in
the bridge as will adapt it to railway traffic.
After a brief discussion on some matters connected
with the finances of the Company, the meeting
separated.

THE NON-IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
The passing of such 4 remarkable Bill
Has furnished a subject for many a quill
some regard such an Act as a national boon,
Which is certain to bring about good, very soon;
And others are quite disappointed to learn,
'I hat'the statute for debtors has taken this turn.
With regard to ourselves, we shall never 'egret,
For, to tell you the truth, we are deeply in debt ;
Yes, yes, an amount most enormous we owe
And, but for thi I Act, we torlitison must go.
In fact, we can scarcely tell what would be done
With mighty insolvents like MOSES and SON.
The reader, no doubt, will be struck when he hears
That MOSES and St tisi are so much in arrears.
But let us explain. The amount that we owe
Has nothing to do with our capital no.
" gratitude's debt" which we thus have contracted,
Through the liberal manner the public have acted.
A vast " debt of thanks" is the " debt" that we owe,
For favours v hich millions of patrons bestow.
And this is a " debt" which we never can pay—
But mark ! We will do all we can to defy ty.
And if this is effected, what more can be done,
By honest insolvents like MOSES aod SON?
For the convenience of parties residing from town, oa application,
directions for self.measurement will be forwarded post free.

THE NEW INSOLVENT ACT.
IMPORTANT INTIMATIONS.

In the Birmingham Bankruptcy Court. on Satur-
day last, Mr. Commissioner Balguy made the follow-
ing remarks on the above-named Act :
" It may be of some general importance that I
should take the opportunity of alluding to the pe-
titions of insolvents presented under the Act lately
passed for the amendment of the law of Insolvency
Bankruptcy, and Execution;' and I am particularly
led to do so from the circumstance of my being
obliged to return two petitions to the parties who
applied to file them, upon the ground that the sig-
natures to such petitions were not duly attested. The
38th section of the Act to which I have just referred,
expressly enacts, that the rules and orders made by
the Judges and Commissioners of the Court of Bank-
ruptcy under the said recited Act (the sth and 6th Vic.,
c. 116), shall extend and be applicable to this Act, ex-
cept as otherwise provided by this Act.' Now the 4th
order requires that each sheet of such petition and
schedule shall be signed by the petitioner in the pre-
sence of, and shall be attested by, his attorney.' lam
of opinion that this means an attorney-at-law—a
known and recognised officer ; and I think it very
material for the interests of the insolvents themselves
that it shouldlbe so. Assuming that a party may consti-
tute an unprofessional man his attorney or agent to act
for him in the matter of his petition (which, however, I
am not at this moment prepared to concede), I am
quite sure that it would not be to his advantage
to do so. In that case, the authority must be
given by power of attorney, which to be used in
this Court must be verified by affidavit; here, I sus-
pect, in the article of expense alone, the insolvent
would be damnified. Again, the petition, the sche-
dule, and the affidavit annexed to those documents,
are to be in a certain prescribed form, and if not in
that form, such petition shall be dismissed; for so
says the section of the late statute. Here, as it ap-
pears to me, the habits of a professional man are re-
quired, or it is to be feared that in too many instances
the parties will be delayed, if not altogether defeated,
in the protection they are seeking. An effective pro-
tection can be secured only by attending to the re-
quirements of the Act. One false step might render
it unavailing, and the unfortunate insolvent, after
some expense and anxiety, would ultimately find him-
self in the predicament in which he stood when he
first made his application to this Court. And I may
add that it is not altogether unimportant that these
proceedings are under the guidance of those over
whom this Court can exercise control, and whose
charges are subject to its taxation."— Worcestershire
Chronicle.

SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S PUPILS.

(From Punch.)
Mr. Punch,—l am one of the suspended letter-
carriers, about whom there has been such a fuss in
the newspapers; and I, with my brethren in afflic-
tion, knowing the impartiality of your judgment,
address you that fair-play may be done to all of us.
We are charged with opening letters addressed to
Lord Bentinck, Mr. Tattersall, and to other horse-
racing gentlemen. Well, we confess it : we broke
open their letters—every one that fell into our hands
—but we did it, as Sir James Graham broke the
letters of other people—all for the sake of public
peace and public morals. I should like to know what's
the use of high people, Queen's Ministers, and all
that, if we poor small folks ar'nt to copy and learn
from them.

Sir James said that what he did, he did for the
peace of the world and the well-doing of society. He
had heard or dreamed of cut-throat conspiracies, and
so he went to work and opened right and left. And
what's the consequence ? Why, all sorts of good.
They do say that the Italians who were all lately
shot in the back, were only found out by the news
that was sent of them from the Home-office—news
picked out of opened letters to Italians here in Lon-
don. Isn't this something comfortable to think of ?
Doesn't it do an Englishman's heart good to know
this ?
Well, Sir, I and my fellow-suspended took Sir
James—good pious man as he is—for our pattern ;
and knowing that there was such a deal of roguery,
and hedging, and hocussing, and all that going on
upon the turf—we opened all sporting letters that we
might know all about the wickedness, and, like Sir
James, make the most of it.
All we wanted, Sir, was to put honest folks upon
their guard as to what was going on ; just as good
Sir James broke seals only to let the Emperor of
Russia and King of Naples know the wickedness that
was being got up against 'em. I repeat it, we merely
wanted to find out roguery, to make the most of it.
Well, Sir, and for this, we are to have our charac-
ters taken away—to be suspended—to have our
mouths deprived of our honest bread, and to have all
sorts of bad names given us in the newspapers ; whilst
Sir James Graham keeps his seat and his salary, and
his character—or all that remains of it—to boot.
Well, this comes of being conceited, and copying
one's betters ! For the future, as I want to do right,
I shall just do the contrary of Sir James ; and, in
the meantime beg, Mr. Punch, that you will do all
you can for A SUSPENDED POSTMAN.

THE DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM HETGATE, THE
CHAMBERLAIN OF THE CITY OF LONDON.—Yesterday,
between one and two o'clock, intelligence was received
at the Town Clerk's•office of the death of Sir William
Heygate, Bart., who was elected, about a year and a
half ago, to the office of Chamberlain, after a contest
with Sir John Pirie. Sir William Heygate had been in
a declining state of health for some tune. Indeed, about
six months after his appointment to the lucrative situa-
tion, fears were entertained by his friends that he would
not much lonpr survive the contest, which had evidently,
by the anxieties it had created, prostrated his bodily
strength. The intelligence, of course, caused a great
deal of excitement amongst the friends of the several
gentlemen who are expected to be candidates. We un-
derstand that the following are candidates :—Aldermen
Brown, Sir J. Key, Sir J. Pirie, and Humphrey, and Mr.
Daniel Whittle Harvey, the dommissionor of the City
Police.

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.
Mr. Chambers, the barrister, attended before the Lord
Mayor yesterday for the purpose of presenting petitions
from the inhabitants and householders of West Smith-
field, the licensed victuallers' and the cattle and sheep
salesmen, praying that his Lordship would grant full
encouragement to the holding of St. Bartholomew fair
now next ensuing, as established by the custom of cen-

turies.
The Learned Counsel stated, that the subject on which
he rose to address the Lord Mayor was one of great
public importance, connected as it was with the disuse of
a fair which had existed 700 years, and which involved
the interests of a great number of the citizens of London.
The petitions were signed by 250 inhabitants, sixty-one
licensed victuallers, and a number of cattle and sheep
salesmen. They represented that the suppression of the
fair (for it was at present merely a nominal fair) had in-
flicted a great injury upon the neighbourhood, many per-
tics having given large sums of money for tho interest
and advantages attendant upon the holding of such an-
cient customs ; that, as the fair was established upon
charter to the City, carrying with it most important pri-
vileges and revenues, its abolition could not be contem-
plated without alarm by the inhabitants having an in-
terest in it ; that if the Lord Mayor, as head of the
Corporation, would allow the fair to be holden as in the
year 1839, and so conducted, the peace of the neighbour-
hood would not be disturbed, the inconveniences to trade
would be of no moment, the interests of those having
a legitimate.claim, purchased at great cost, would be at-
tended to, and also the charters appreciated by those
whose duty it was to see that not one of these valuable
grants should be allowed to remain dormant or inactive,
but all carried out under such improvements, arrange-
ments, and superintendence as the times demanded.
The Learned Counsel especially called his Lordship's at-
tention to the petition of the licensed victuallers, show-
ing the consequences of the alteration to them. Their
leases cost them upwards of 30,5301. ; their rents, inde-
pendent of taxes, amounted to upwards of 4,880/. ; their
licenses annually cost them upwards of 1,067/. 10s. ;
their families consisted of 601 persons, and their losses
would, if the recommendation in the City Solicitor's
report was continued to be carried out, amount to up-
wards of 80,5201. That report, at the same time that it
showed that the very able person who drew it up ques-
tioned the discretion of interfering so strongly with the
charter as to suppress the fair altogether, advised its
gradual abolition by raising the price of the ground for
the shows, so that the advance, if his Lordship did not at
once interpose the authority of his recommendation, would
upon the ensuing occasion be so great as to prevent the
possibility of exhibiting those entertainments which were
the great means of assembling the crowds of the middle and
lower ranks, by which the neighbourhood was benefited,
and by which at a very cheap rate the visitors were harm-
lessly amused. Having with much ingenuity combatted
the strong arguments in the celebrated report alluded to,
the Learned Counsel referred to the determined opposi-
tion given by the City of London to the Parliamentary
attempt to establish a market to the prejudice of Smith-
field market, in which the charter was put forward as a
convincing argument against the innovation, and said,
that the Corporation ought to exercise great caution in
doing any act by which they might themselves invalidate
an authority upon which they bad successfully con-
tended against the attempts of others. The argument
that the fair was a public nuisance contained nothing in
it. It might be said, and had been said, that public-
houses, that gin-shops, that theatres, were public nui-
sances. They all had certain disadvantages attached to
them, but were not those disadvantages immensely and
beyond all proportion counterbalanced ? It was not
long since a well-intentioned individual endeavoured to
put a stop to railroad travelling on the Sabbath, and, by
way of amends, to oblige poor people to go to church
three or four times on that day; but the good sense of
Parliament decided that it was better for the interests of
society, and of religion too, that such an attempt to put
down the nuisance of steam should be crushed; and ac-
cordingly that formidable inroad upon the recreations of
the public was most powerfully and successfully resisted.
In fact, the time had gone by for abridging the amuse-
ments of the people. All over the town the shops were
seen to close, some at eight and some at seven o'clock,
for the purpose of enabling those who laboured in
the day to enjoy recreation at a reasonable period of
the night. Why the restriction which was rejected so
generally should be adhered to in the case of Bartho-
lomew fair he could not at all conceive. He could not
see why the poor should be prevented from witnessing
for a penny or twopence apiece in Bartholomew fair
feats of jugglery as well performed as they were in King-
street at the rate of half-a-crown a-head.—(A
He could not see why the titled and the wealthy should
pay 20 guineas for a box to witness the frivolous
manoeuvres of a dancer who could perhaps go round two
or three times oftener than her sister performer on the
temporary boards of Smithfield.—{Laughter.) What a
pity it was that those who enjoyed that sort of frivolity
should deny the more humble requirements of the
artisan, whose days were spent in toil, and who looked
once a year for the innocent pastime which Bartholomew
fair, with all its gay and lively wonders, afforded. If the
temptations were alluded to as an argument, it would be
found in all conditions and scenes of life that dangerous
spirit presented itself, and that all that philosophers
could say of it was, that the weakness of human nature
was manifested under all circumstances, and that the
power of resistance to the passions which constantly
solicited us was not more strongly exemplified at the
Opera than at those places of social mirth and hirality to
which the lower orders of society gained admission. The
Learned Counsel concluded a very impressive speech, of
which the foregoing is but a slight sketch, by urging the
magnitude of the interests involved, and appealing to the
justice and liberal feelings of the chief magistrate in de-
ciding upon the claims of the petitioners.
The LORD MAYOR said it was a pity that the peti-
tioners had not applied to the Court of Common Council
before the eleventh hour, if they expected that their ap-
peal would have produced any alteration in the senti-
ments of that body. The Markets Committee had, after
a great deal of deliberation, determined to adopt the
plan recommended in the report of the City Solicitor, as
the best qualified to abate a nuisance of which the citi-
zens of London generally had long and loudly com-
plained, and their recommendation had met with the
approbation of the representatives in the corporation.
He was aware, that in carrying into effect the plan some
injury would be inflicted, but be believed that the injury
in the case of Bartholomew fair had been considerably
overstated. He was not one of those who were desirous
of abridging the recreations of the people, and it might
be advisable to consider whether some modifications
might not be adopted consistently with the views of those
who recommended the gradual abolition of the festival.

It was quite impossible, however, that anything could
be done in the present year. At the proper time next
year the subject might be taken up and represented to
the Markets Committee, for whose experience and judg
ment the Corporation had a high respect; and he should
take occasion to mention the nature of the claims of the
petitioners and the arguments of their Learned Counsel.
Mr.
.SWAN, the solicitor to the petitioners, thanked his
Lordship upon the part of his clients, and said that they
would be perfectly satisfied if the regulations of 1839
were acted upon, under the direction of the Lord Mayor;
but the course pursued to destroy the fair was excessively
rapid and ruinous. Fora piece of ground for a show
for which 251. was charged three years ago, the sum of
501. was charged the year immediately following, and
the enormous price of 751. was charged the year after
that. Probably 901. or 1001. would be the present de-
mand. Now the same ground, if purchased for stalls
for gingerbread or toys, would cost about 151. So that
it was plain the object was to remove all the elements of
amusement.
The LORD MAYOR—There is no doubt that the sup-
pression of the fair altogether would be most gratifying
to the great mass of the citizens of London. Nev er •
theless, I shall consider it ,to be my duty to represent
what you have stated, and what has been so ably ar-
gued by Mr. Chambers, to the Markets Committee.

Our representative, accompanied by hiliule";\l4r- . ,414
rived at Cunninghamehead on Monday, whh6. it IS'
on a visit to Mr. Pattison, of Glasgow. There was
sonic intention, we believe, of the Hon. Member wait-
ing personally on each of the constituency, before
calling a public meeting ; but it appears that, before
fully accomplishing his object in this respect, a public
meeting was resolved upon, which was called last
night by tuck of drum, to be held at the Town-hall
to-day, at twelve o'clock. •
At the hour of meeting but a very few appeared,
and when the proceedings commenced there were only
119 present, including the Member himself, among
whom were a few Conservatives and several non-elec-
tors. The meeting was certainly the snallest ever
assembled in the same hall to hear a representative
deliver his opinions to the constituency. Oa the mo •
tion of Bailie Wilson, the Provost was called to the
chair.

The PROVOST observed, that 1\1:-. Bouverie had
come among them to give an ace. mit of his doings in
Parliament; and in doing so, he hoped the Hon.
Gentleman would receive a patient hearing, and that
no factious questions would be put to him on either
side, and no ill-feeling displayed on the occasion.
Mr. BouvERIE was received with some demon-
strations of applause. He said during the short time
he had been away, he had set himself to do his duty
honestly and fearlessly, and to carry out the leading
principles he professed when he came amongst them,
and, so far as lay in his power, to assert those great
principles which he considered tended to the prosperity
of the country. He referred to the co.nposition of the
present House of Commons as a reason for not having
been able to do much good, a large portion of
which was of a different way of thinking from him
and those with whom he generally acted ; but hoped
he and his friends, although they had not been able to
obtain much good, by modifying certain measures,
had secured some benefit, and relieved, in some de-
gree, the evils that afflicted the nation, and the wants
which a large portion of the people felt. In regard
to those moral and physical evils that afflicted so large
a portion of humanity, he was sorry that the conduct
of. Parliament was not such as every one could wish.
To those measures that encumbered and fettered trade,
and affected the physical comforts of the people, little
had, indeed, been done, except in one or two changes—
changes happily in the right direction—the conduct of
the House of Commons had not been what he would
have wished to see in relation to the benefit of the
country. In one particular, in which the Ministry, he
thought, had been going in the right direction, he had
given them his support—upon one of the divisions on
the sugar duties. He would explain how that he had
assisted, on that occasion, in maintaining the Minis-
try in office at a time when, to their discredit, they
were obliged to a section of their ultra opponents
for keeping them in power ; but this wao a course
which he would still follow though it were to occur
again—following out his principle of acting with-
out reference to mere party politics.—(Cheers.) Mr.
Bouverie went on to explain the differential duties,
and how they operated on the profits of the sugar
growers, both foreign and colonial, and what led
the Government to propose a modification in the face
of the opposition of the West India interest. When
Mr, Ewart proposed the duty should be equalised,
he supported him, but this proposition was out-
voted, and the Ministry gained. Then there was
the other proposition to lower the colonial duty
from 245. to 205., which, as being a lowering of
duty, had attracted great support, thinking that this
would also lower the price, but it would really only
have put 14s. instead of 103. into the pockets of the
planters, mid the revenue would have suffered the
loss of 800,0001. So, although he thought the Go-
vernment proposition of maintaining the colonial
duty at its original standard not giving full justice,
yet it was a shade better than that of benefiting the
planters. Although he had, on this occasion, voted
with Sir Robert Peel, yet he had shown no gratitude
to him (Mr. Bouvrie) by proposing any place or pen-
sion ; but he would follow the same course again, and
with the same hope that it would meet their
approbation.—(Cheers.) On the corn-laws, he
could give them no hopes, from the composi-
tion of the present House, that an immediate repeal
would be carried, but pointed to the circumstance,
that the majority for maintaining them on the statute-
book this year was 100 less than two years ago, which
had been caused partly by the operation of public
opinion, and partly by constituencies brought to bear
on their representatives. By such efforts continued,
he hoped they might be favoured with ultimate suc-
cess. He hoped that next session a liberal band of
Members would assemble, not to fight for considera-
tions of party, but for the good of the people, as it
would always be his endeavour to do for the interests of
the people he represented. He hoped that next ses-
sion success would attend the General Education Bill.
But these things were not got in a day, and they
ought to have faith, and hope to see those principles it
embraced carried into effect. In conclusion, he of-
fered to answer any questions ; and he hoped the
friends that had put faith in him had seen no reason
from the past to distrust him for the future.
Mr. Wm. WILSON moved a vote of thanks to Mr.
Bouverie for his attention to his duties, which was
seconded and agreed to.
Mr. Bou VERSE returned thanks.
Mr. D. H. ANDREWS moved a vote of thanks to the
Provost, which was likewise agreed to.
The meeting then broke up about one o'clock.
