THE SOUTH LONDON FILTERED
WATER. COMPANY.

Capital 200,0001., in 20,000 Shares of 101. each.
Deposit 11. per share.
To be empowered by Act of Parliament, and the responsibility

limited,

Shareholders in South London iThave the option of receiving their
share .of the profits in cash, or in purified water, charged to them at
probably 50 per cent. less than they now pay for impure water ; the
pubW at large to be charged about two-thirds of the present prices.
As it is proposed to take...the water from the purest part of the
Thames near London' neither expensive. purchases nor determined
opposition can arise from the rights or claims of ' the mill;owners.
Arrangements will be made to secure the exclusive possession of a
system for filtering large bodies of water, which is the most econo-
mical as to space, time, And stoney ever known ; and which, being
patented, renders rivalry for 13 years impossible. The water sup-
plied will be that which the water of the three existing Companies
ought to be, in compliance with the clauses of their respective Act
of Parliament, viz. effectually purified by means of filtration.
The profits to thogeneraiShareholders of this Company will be at
least 10 per ceut„ on the most moderate calculations.
This` advertisetnent appears apparently prematurely, for two rea-
sons-,4irst, to .satisfy the impatient desire universally expressed
throughout the populous districts south of the, Thames, that a Self-
Suppfyiiig Wafer.COmpany should be formed.; and; secondly; that
the Direction should not be filled up until the largest of the intended
Shareholders should be ascertained, so that the interests of the Com-
pany might be protected by those who had the greatest stake in it.
The names of the Directors, Engineers, Bankers, and Solicitors
bewill advertised as soon as is filled up. - In the meantime,
applications for Shares, or further information, may be made to Al-
fred ylower; Secretary pro tern., nt the temporary offices of the Com-
pany, 27; Stamford-street, Blackfilars.

the recommendation made to them.—(Hear.)
The conversation then dropped.
The election of three trustees, eight new commit-
tee-men, and three auditors, were then proceeded
with, when the following gentlemen were declared by
the Governor to be duly elected :—Messrs. Williams,
Binning, and Franklin, for trustees; Messrs. Elt,
Avery, New, Hickman, Clench, Higgins, Berry, and
Lawrence, for Committee-men ; and Messrs. Butter-
field, Southall, and Perkin, for auditors.
The GOVERNOR having declared that the business
of the Court was concluded,

The inquiry having, lasted some hours,
The CORONER summed up, condemning the t on-
tradictory evidence of the Rev. C. J. Scratchley, but
which was done, no doubt, to get out of a difficulty.
She appeared affected in mind on the night of Sa-
turday, and certainly had not been kindly treated by
a man who, bad lived with her as her husband, which
she must have felt; for the separation . of five years
could not' have extinguished her feeling towards
him. No doubt she had. destroyed herself, and it
would be for the jury to say whether the conduct of
Mr. Scratchley had induced her to do so, and whe-
ther she was in a state of temporary in sanity.
The jury, after nearly an hour's deliberation, re- ,
turned the following verdict :—" We find the de;
ceased, Charlotte Griffin, committed suicide whilst
in a state of temporary insanity, induced by. the
cruel and heartless conduct of Mr. Charles James
Scratchley ; and we are compelled to express our
strong disapprobation of the flippant and unfeeling
manner in which Mr. Charles James Scratchley's
evidence was given on the night of Monday last."

QUEEN'S-SQUARE.

For some time past the churchwardens, and other autho-
rities, of St. Margaret's parish, have been endeavouring, by
every means in their power, to put a stop to Sunday trading,
and although their exertions in some instances have been
crowned, with success, gin-palaces, cigar-shops, confectioners,
&c., continue to supply the lieges with articles in their pe-
culiar line of business, in defiance of the wrath of the heads of
the parish, or of the commandment which saith, that they
shall labour six days and rest on the seventh day of the
week. However, many respectable shopkeepers have con •
ceded to the wishes expressed in a handbill, industriously
circulated throughout the parish, but persons carrying on the
above-mentioned businesses are by no means favourable to
the adoption of the new plan, which they declare will ma-
terially reduce their profits. The police, however, have been
instructed to use their utmost endeavours to put an end to
Sunday trading in this neighbourhood.
Ellen HaggerN, a poor Irishwoman, was brought before
Mr. Bond, charged with hawking a basket of ( ranges about
for sale whilst the congregation of St. Margaret's Church was
leaving that edifice.
60 B said that, a few minutes after one o'clock yesterday,
he saw the defendant with a basket of oranges opposite St.
Margaret's Church. She was moving slowly along, and on
desiring her to go away, she became very indignant, but did
not make use of any bad language, and would not go, but
kept moving along. She did not ask persons to buy, but
was evidently there for the sole purpose of disposing of them.
She said she was going to Millbank to serve some persons
there, who were in the habit of buying oranges of her.
The woman, in answer to th ‘, charge, said she had seven
children who were solely dependent upon her for support, and
that she was compelled to go .out to endeavour to get then►
some food, as she had taken. very little during the week.
She was not in the habit of selling oranges on the Sabbath.
Mr. BOND discharged the defendant, telling her that there
were six days for labour and one for rest; and that if she
was brought before him again charged with a similar offence,
she would not be so leniently dealt with.

SPIRIi' of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—lreland still continues the difficulty and
the disgrace of Sir Robert Peel's administration. The
former it might have been without' reproach. The
latter is not merely its misfortune, but its fault.
It is with Ministers, as with ordinary men--
they cannot " command success ;" but, by a strict
adherence to principle, and an uncompromising
course of impartial administration of sound po-
licy, they may " deserve" to, succeed; and will even-
tually, if not at once, succetd. in silencing com-
plaints and establishing confidence in their rule.
From the day that Sir Robert Peel obtained the ob-
ject of his aim, and, as head of the Administration,
selected his instruments of government in Ireland,
down to the last appointment made by those who

govern in that country, one " untoward event." has
followed another in quick succession—all tending to
exhibit the unfitness of the Administration to restore

tranquillity, or to confer prosperity on that part of
the empire. Ignorance of the most essential and easily-
ascertained facts and circumstances, of which a Go-
vernment should be well informed to be safely guided
in its policy, have caused blunders as palpable as they
have been mischievous. Infatuation seems to have
rendered the executive blind to consequences.
Hence, the Ministry has been damaged in charac-
ter ; the country disturbed by agitation—vibrat-
ing between alternate fears for the preservation of
social order and hopes of restored peace. The
prosecution of O'Connell and his co-agitators was
to vindicate the majesty and assert the supremacy
of the Taws ; yet that very prosecution was marked,
from its commencement to its close, by violations of
the Constitution, and by open disregard to that im-
partiality of administration which gives to the laws
their efficiency, and preserves justice from de-
generating into tyranny. By this perversion of the
forms of law to the purposes of oppression—this
securing a pre-determined conviction by pre-
arranged violations of constitutional right, ,the Go-
vernment has rendered itself the criminal. Public
opinion directs its severest 'censures against the ad-
inokistratora of the law; while those who were con-

victed by stretching the law that itquight reach those
who Ifid rendered themselves obnoxious to the party
in office, are regarded as heroes. If punished in
virtue of the conviction thus obtained, they will .be
elevated into martyrs. The moral influence—from
which the administration of justice derives its real
power—has been thus neutralised, if not absolutely
enlisted with the convicted parties. No salutary
results could follow the' infliction upon them of
any sentence. A nominal punishment would be at-
tributed to fear—a severe one to vindictiveness. In

UNION-HALL.

Hannah Boyd, a girl in the service of a Mrs. Trindall, in
Bermondsey-street, was charged before Mr. Traill with steal-
ing a neck chain, and a variety of other articles, the propert3
of her mistress.

The prisoner, who is a young and well-looking female,
had been hi the service of . the complainant for the last six
months, during which period she was in the habit of attend-
ing in her mistress's shop. The prisoner, however, absconded
about a fortnight ago, and, when she was gone, a variety of
articles were missed, amongst which were those above 'de-
scribed. Upon subsequent inquiry it was found the prisoner
had formed most improper connexions, and, when taken
into custody, the stolen articles were found in her possession.
Mr. Truth', said that he should consult the feelings of the
complainant, and either commit the prisoner for trial, or deal
summarily with the charge, and at once commit her for a
limited period to gaol.
The complainant said, that with a view to sever the con-
nexion between the prisoner and her associates, she should
wish to prosecute.
The prisoner was, therefore, committed for trial.

MESSRS. ALLSOPP .and SONS regret the
necessity of again alluding to a statement put forth by
Messrs. Bats and Ce., purporting to be a correct representation of
the• current prices and shipments of Pale Ale to the East Indies.
The incorrectness of the returns alluded to has been hilly shown in
a former advertisement, notwithstanding which Messrs. Bass have
pertinaciously refused to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in-
cumbent upon Messrs. Allsopp to lay before the pnblic the following
detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by
themselves and Messrs. Bass respec' ivelv. In order to avoid the pos.
sibility of mistake, the most careful examination of the official re-
ports of the Indian markets, during- a period extending •over the
months of November, December, and January last, has been made,
and Messrs. Allsopp .confidently submit the result as a proof of the
superior estimation in which their Ale is held throughout the three
Presidencies.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 29.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert
did not land at Ostend the day before yesterday till nine
o'clock in the evening. He was received and conducted to
the Palace by General D'Hane. Yesterday morning, at
seven o'clock, the Prince left Ostend, and arrived at Moline
at half-past ten. His Majesty King Leopold received him at
the station, and set out with him, intending to accompany
him to the Prussian frontier, or at least to Verviers.
The Chamber of Representatives fixed its sitting to-mor-
row at ten o'clock, because it means to conclude the debate on
the examining jury in that sitting, and then adjourned till
after Easter.

The Court was crowded with the victims of the pri-

Police-constable 136 G, who arrested the prisoner, de-

CHINA.

Sir R. PEEL brought up certain dispatches respecting
China, amongst which was one with respect to the treaty
lately entered into between this country and China.
Ordered to be laid on the table.

Mr. HUME was desirous that her Majesty's Govern-
ment would give the public a fac-simile of the Chinese
treaty, with an English translation.—(Laughter.) He
thought it would be very acceptable to the public as a
matter of curiosity—(A laugh)—and it would not be
very expensive.
Sir ROBERT PEEL begged to ask if the Hon. Mem-
ber made a motion ? and if so, was it seconded by a
gentleman who knew the Chinese language ?—(Laughter.)
Mr. HAS lE, whose observation was not distinctly
heard in the gallery, but excited much laughter in tha
House, was understood to say, that if a motion were
made, he would second it.
SIR HENRY POTTINGER.
Sir R. PEEL then said that he could not lay upon the
table the last paper from Sir H. Pottinger—(who, after
a service ofnearly halfacentury, hadnow retired, against
the wishes and representations of the Government)—with-
out bearing testimony to the singular ability, zeal, firmness,
and discretion, with which he had performed the duty
undertaken by him under critical and difficult circum-
stances, and performed by him in a manner which se-
cured to him the confidence and esteem of the Chinese
Government, equally with that of the Government
which he represented.—(Hear, hear.) He vas disposed
to say more upon the merits of that distinguished gen-
tleman, but he was aware that a panegyric was weak-
ened by being diluted.—(Hear.) He would only say,
that it was impossible to bear higher testimony than he
could to the merits of Sir Henry Pottinger.—(Hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON rose to bear testimony to the
truth of the handsome eulogy which the Right Hon.
Gentleman had passed upon that distinguished public
officer.—(Hear, hear-.)- He did not think that the eulogy
could be exaggerated; for those who witnessed his ser-
vices only regretted that he had not still greater oppor-
tunities of rendering services to his country. It was
only by his own merits the gallant and distinguished officer
obtained the opportunity of so well earning the thanks
of the Government and the country. When he (Lord
Palnierston) recommended to his colleagues the appoint-
ment of Sir Henry Pottinger, he did so without any
political consideration. Indeed, up to the present mo-
ment he did not know what Sir Henry's general
political sentiments might be. When he (Lord
Palmerston) asked his colleagues to request the
assistance of Sir Henry Pottinger, he had no per-
sonal acquaintance with him, and he was only led
to make choice of him in consequence of the ability
which he had displayed in India.—(Hear,-hear.) He
must also say that it was only justice to the present Go-
vernment to state that the successor of Sir Henry Pot-
tinger had been solected without any regard to political
considerations, and solely on account of his distinguished
merits.
London, England, 1844-04-02

MILL COOLIES.
Lord SANDON asked if Government had re-
ceived any' communication on the subject of the
emigration of labourers from the East to the West
Indies. _

Lord STANLEY had sent a dispatch to the
Governor-General of India on the subject—the re-
ceipt of the dispatch had been acknowledged, and the
Government of India would devote their .anxions
attention to the subject, but he could not fell when he
should be in a condition to .afford any information to
the House on the matter.

BUSINESS OE THE, HOUSE.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that, as the dlOourntnerit
of the- w
House for the Easter recess -etas to be moved
to-morrow, lie hoped that theitight Hon. Gentlemitn
would to-morrow state • what Bills the Government
intended to take immediately after Easter.
CONVOCATION.
Mr. BORTHWICK postponed until after Easter
the motion of which he had given notice, on the sub-
ject of the assembling the convocation of the clergy.
BANK CHARTER.
Mr. GISBORNE wished to ask whether the mea-
sure on the subject of the Bank Charter which the
Right lion. Gentleman proposed to introduce after
Easter, would affect the system of banking generally,
or whether it would, in its essence, be confined to the
renewal of the charter of the Bank of England; also,
whether the measure was intended to extend to the
whole bf the United Kingdom.
Sir R. PEEL complained that. the Right Hon.
Geritleman had not given notice of his question. He
proposed,to bring the subject before the House im-
mediately after the recess, but he must decline at
present entering into particulars, and in this course
he was following the precedent set by Lord Althorp.

LAW AND POLICE.

At the Bodmin Assizes, a woman, rTiimed Elizabeth Moore,
was indicted for killing her son, a boy twelve years of age, by
striking him on the head with a stone. She had flung it at
the child in a moment of passion ; it did not appear she had
any intention of hurting it. The jury returned a verdict of
guilty ; but the Learned Judge said she was more an object
of compassion than of punishment, and sentenced her to one
day's imprisonment only.
The assizes of the Midland Circuit was opened at Coventry,
on Thursday, by Lord Chief Justice Tindal and Mr. Baron
Gurney. There were sixty-eight prisoners for trial, but the
offences charged were, for the most part, of an extremely
light character. One man stood charged with stealing an
egg, value a penny, and another with stealing an osier, value
a halfpenny. The former was sentenced to imprisonment for
fourteen days, and the latter was acquitted. In the former
case the Learned Judge strongly censured the prosecution,
and disallowed the expenses
At the Liverpool assizes, William Bethell was indicted for
uttering a forged acceptance for 1711. 75., with intent to de-
fraud William Maddock. In a second count, the uttering was
alleged to be with intent to defraud Messrs. John and Thomas
Johnson. The prisoner was found guilty, and transported for 15
years. At the same assizes, Thomas Stanley Sudlow was sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment for forging a cheque for 55/.,
with the-intention of defrauding Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and
Co., 'bankers. Ann Jones, at the same assizes, was trans-
ported for seven years for procuring a false entry to be made
in the Registry of Deaths.
At the Oxford Assizes, a Miss E. Harbert brought an
action of breach of promise of marriage, against a respectable
farmer named Edginton. Everything had been arranged for
the wedding, when the defendant received an anonymous
letter, charging the complainant with being addicted to
drinking—in consequence of which the defendant broke off
the match. The attempt to prove the charge by evidence,
failed, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff,—
damages 2001.
At the Assizes at Norwich, two young men named Samuel
Howlett and Thomas Williamson, were indicted for adminis-
tering a poisonous drug to a woman named Ellen Jarvis,
with the intent of procuring abortion, from the effects of
which she died. The evidence not being sufficient to sup-
port the charge they were acquitted.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
1310 Ur Opinion.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

The Paris SiMe in reference to the visit of Prince Albert
to his native country says :—" It is generally believed that
his Royal Highness will convey to Berlin the apologies of her
.Britannic Majesty, who will not be able to return; as she had
promised, the gracious visit paid her by the King of Prussia.
It is an opinion prevailing in certain politiCal drawing-rooms
that Prince Albert will negotiate a meeting in England be-
tween the King of Prussia, the Emperor Nicholas, and the
Mug of the French. It is even Said that the Czar will pass
through France, and even Paris, on his return to his domi-
nion's. None of these rumours will, perhaps, prove true, but
we must notice them, because they circulate with a certain
authority "
-oa.Satiirday, the King of the French, accompanied by
Colonel de Cbablinnes and the Marquis de Strada, left the
Tuilleries for Versailles, and, on his wayyemained abput an
hour at Saint Cloud. After visiting several of the galleries at
Versailles he yeturned at seven o'clock. In the evening,
their Majesties received a very large party.
The Siecle states that a bill is shortly to be introduced for
a-rallwaV from Paris to Strasburgh, on terms similar to those
proposed for the Bordeaux and the Lyons' lines. •
The Journal of the raw Sicities confirms the statement of
the insurrection at Cosenza, in Calabria, and states that it was
'speedily suppressed. The bands of robbers who uttered poli-
tical cries were dispersed by the gendarmes, and several of
them.were shot. • . • •

The eminent
_academician, Luigi Caxionica, has just died at
Milan, at the age `of 77. Ile was the architect of the Royal
palaces at Milan and Monza, as well as of numerous superb
buildings in the northern- Italian cities. Monza is situated
eight -miles west ,hi Milan, and is celebrated for its treasures
of Catholic relieS, and was for many centuries the resting-
place of the iron crown of Lombardy. Charlemagne was
ermined there with it in. 774, as were the Emperors of Ger-
many in subsequent ages, and ROnaparte followed ,this ex-
ample in 1805. • • _ .

The Pontifical. Academy of Fine Arts of .St. Luke's, at
Rome, has recently, elected the .Prolessor of Architecture at
the Royal Acadejny (C. R. Cockerell, Esq.) a ."Member of
Merit" of their body, in the place of the Cavalier FerdinandO
Bousigriore, chief architect of the King of Sardinia, lately
deeeased. The Pontifical Academy associates honorary
members ad /ibiiian., but"the "Members of Merit" are limited
to twenty'.
