TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.

We have just received the following from our
Parisian Correspondent :
" PARIS, Two o'CLocK, WEDNESDAY.

" A telegraphic dispatch has just been received
announcing the arrival of the Indian Mail yester-
day morning at Marseilles. The dispatch being
silent as to the contents, it is to be presumed that
there is no political news of importance.
" The Paris papers contain no news. The Madrid
mail had not arrived, owing to snow on the roads.
" The Speech of the QueQn of England had just
been received by Extraordinary Express, and was
considered most satisfactory."—Morning Paper.

HE WEEKLY CHRONICLE, during the
T •
ENSUING SESSION of PARLIAMENT, will spare neither
exertion nor expense to sustain and extend the character it has
hitherto obtained of Banishing to its readers, and with the greatest
minuteness of detail, the EARLIEST and MOST EXCLUSIVE
INTELLIGENCE of POLITICAL and PUBLIC MOVEMENTS,
from its own PECULIAR SOURCES of INFORMATION.
The many interesting questions which must shortly occupy the
attention of Parliament—as Free Trade, Ireland, the Church, Taxa-
tion, Tariff Reform, with many others, give great interest, by antici-
patio% to the doings of the coming Session ; and the importance of
a Journal which has proved, not only its intimate acquaintance with
the policy of its own friends but with the intentions of the Govern-
ment, whose movements it has repeatedly announced in anticipation
of the official organs, must be self-evident to all.
In other respects, while the " Weekly Chronicle?' is of larger size
than any one of its Contemporaries, it will be found to be the beet
Family Newspaper extant, as it contains more carefully selected
reading, as well in Genera Literature, Fashion, Science, and the
Drama, as in News, Politics, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, than
any other Weekly Journal.
An Edition for the Country, in time for the Friday Evening Mails,
er such country subscribers as prefer to receive their paper on a

On Tuesday evening the 6th annual meeting of the members and
friends of the Deverill.street Chapel, Dover-road, branch of the
Wesleyan Missionary Society, was held at the above chapel ;
Thomas Gurney, Esq., in the chair. From the report it appeared
that the subscriptions to the parent Society, during the pact year.
exceeded those of the preceding by 1,0001., and that the subscrip.
tions from the branch, for the past year, amounted to 1281. 12s. I Id.
The meeting was addressed by a deputation from the parent Society,
the Rev. Messrs. J. Methel, S. R. Hale, J. Freeman, missionary
from Fomah Bay, sc., and resolutions to uphold the missionary'
cause were adopted.
The scaffolding and hoarding surrounding the colossal pedestrian
figure of William the Fourth, recently erected in the mega
space of King William-street, London-bridge, was removed op
Tuesday, and the whole work thrown open to the full view of the
public.

At the Central Criminal Court one of the jurors became
seriously ill, and he would have fallen from his seat if he had not
been caught and supported by one of his fellow-jurors. He was
immediately removed from the box. A discussion ensued as to the
proper course for the Court to adept, and ultimately a fresh juror
was called, the whole panel re.sworn, and the trial recommenced.
William Onley, a letter-carrier, was fully committed from Bow.
street, for stealing a money letter.
At Clerkenwell Henry Webster, a young man, who descsibed
himself as the son of Sir Godfrey Webster, of Battle Abbey,
Sussex, was charged with having been drunk, and assaulting
police.constable 426 N. He was fined ten shillings, and in default
of payment locked up.
' "

George Gardner and Robert Brown, two shabby-genteel-
looking fellows, were committed from Queen-square. charged
with stealing seven billiard.balls and some articles of wearing ap.
parel, from the house of Mr. Evans, the Royal Clarence, West-
bourne-place, Pimlico.
Mr. John Morgan, a town traveller, of highly respectable con.
nexions, was placed at the bar at Marylebotie, charged with shop.
lifting, and fully committed for trial.
A lengthened investigation took place at Lambeth before Mr.
Henry on a charge of rape. Benjamin John Beams, a tall yr,ung
man, of fashionable appearance, who was described as a solicitor's
clerk, was charged with violating the person of Miss Amelia
F. Shepheard, who is not quite 15 years of age. After the
prosecutrix had given her evidence, Mr. Henry observed that, on
the showing of the prosecutrix herself the charge did not, in his
opinion, amount to one of rape. There could be no doubt that
the conduct of the prisoner was most scandalous and shameful,
and that he had by the most cunning artifice succeeded in seducing
the unfortunate young woman. Still, however, her conduct was,
to say the least of it, most incautious and indiscreet. The pri-
soner was discharged,

SCOTCH PRISONS.

On the motion for the order of the day for readitg
the sessional orders, _

Mr. HUME asked the Right Hon. Baronet the
Secretary of State for the Home Department whether
he was prepared to institute an inquiry into the ope-
ration of the Scotch Prisons Act ?

Sir J. GRAHAM was understood to say that he
should institute such an inquiry.

MEDICAL REFORM.

Mr. WAKLEY reminded the Right Honourable
Baronet the Secretary of State that he, last evening,
promised to state to-night when he should be able to
ask leave of the House to introduce the Medical Re-
form Bill.

Sir J. GRAHAM said he intended to bring in the
Bill on Tuesday se'nnight.
Mr. WAKLEY asked if the Bill would be pre-
cisely the same as that of last session ?
SirJ.GRAEIANI said there would be some amend-
ments introduced into it, and on moving for leave to
bring it in, he should state precisely what those alte-
rations were.

SESSIONAL ORDERS.
Mr. WILLIAMS said, at this period of the last
session he had called the attention of the House to the
strange and anomalous state of the sessional orders of
the House. One of them he believed to be in
direct contradiction to the law of the land. He
was sorry that neither the Attorney-General nor
the Solicitor-General were in their places, or he
would have put the question to them ; and if he re-
ceived an assurance that the order was not contrary
to the law, he would not press his objection. The
order he objected to was this :—" That no Peer of
the realm, except such as may be Peers of Ireland for
Ole time being, who shall not have declined

Within these few days past a number of well-executed forged.

keepers in Regent-street, Oxford-street, and Crawford-street
and other parts of the metropolis by two fashionably-dressed
females, who made small purchases of goods. The plate and
note is supposed to have been executed in France. The only.
way of detecting the figures is by the paper, which is con-
siderably thinner tlum those of the genuine notes, and of a
more greasy nature. The small purchases made 1:y the for-

Accounts from Paris announce a great amount of business in
railroad shares on Monday, with an advaLce of prices on most lines.
The rage for this speculation is by no means confined to England.
Most favourable intelligence has been lately received at Paris
from Algeria. Tranquillity reigns throughout the French pos-
sysions, and the Arab tribes continue to frequent all the markets.
The procession of the Bceuf Gras took place at Paris on Sunday,
in the order announced, but, owing to the coldness of the day, the
crowd was not so great as usual, and there were very few masks.
We learn from Venice that the Duke de Bordeaux is now there
and in perfect health.
The Municipal Council of Paris has, it is said, come to a resolu-
tion to re-number all the houses in the capital, and render them as
nearly as possible regular. The figures are all to be uniformly
painted in white on a blue ground.
The New Zurich Gazette of the 30th ult. states that a meeting
of the Conservative party has been held at Zurich, at which a peti.
tion to the Grand Council against the admission of the Jesuits was
agreed upon►

IrALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS, a Sure Cure
IL for Bad Legs, Scurvy, &c.—Read the following wonderful
account of Halse's Scorbutic Drops. It must convince the most
sceptical of the safety and great value of this extraordinary com-
pound of Herbs. This important letter is sent to Mr. liaise by Mr.
W. Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of the parish of Brent,
Devon :—" Brent, March Ist, 1842. Dear Sir,—l consider it a duty
incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of
your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you,
that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit fur my poor
suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying
but every thing in order to give my child ease, but day by day she
continued to get worse, until at last all strength left her, and she was
no longer able to walk ; her betty and head were covered all over
with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite had vanished, the erup-
tions would itch in such a dreadful manner that she would roll
herself in agonies on the ground, and she could get no sleep what-
ever by night. Immediately you saw- her, you told me you were
certain your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken
one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, and
she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. By the time she had taken
the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person's, the use of her
limbs was restored to her, and, I thank God, her health is now as
good or better than it ever was.
" I remain, dear Sir, yours respectfully,
" WILLIAM MATTHEWS."

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birming-
ham, and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means
of access to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the
Northern and Eastern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and
the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passim to the north of Uxbridge, will
roceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley,vill terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addi I,n to the line above described. it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed tuckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a linefrom Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difilzulty
of importance presents itself. . _

The' undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
Of such as may be required for parties having local Interests,
