BRANDES BURTON INCLOSURE.

The Brandes Burton Inclosure Bill was read a
third time.
MIDDLE LEVEL DRAINAGE BILL.

The Middlo Level Drainage Bill was read a second
time.

SWANSEA HARBOUR BILL.

The Swansea Harbour Bill was read a second time.
SOUTHAMPTON MARSH IMPROVEMENT BILL.
Mr. G. W. HOPE presented a petition in favour of the
Southampton Marsh Improvement Bill.
Lord PALMERSTON presented a petition against
the Bill.

Mr. G. W. HOPE, in moving the second reading of the
Bill, said that he was not aware that it was to be
opposed. The Bill was for the inclosure of a marsh
near the town of Southampton, and the profits to be
derived from the inclosure were to be appropriated to
the improvement of public walks in the neighbourhood
of the town. The only objection that he had heard to it
was that it interfered with a cricket-ground. Now the
supporters of the Bill had given up the intention of in-
terfering with the cricket-ground, and therefore he could
not understand what ground there could be for opposition
to the present Bill, which did not interfere with any
waste land used for the purpose of, recreation.
Lord PALMERSTON said that the parties who op-
posed the Bill were apprehensive lest the ground should
be built upon, and the inhabitants be thus deprived of
the advantages which a salubrious place of exercise now
afforded them.

Sir R. INGLIS said that the Bill proposed to take
away from the recreation and health of a great portion
of the inhabitants of Southampton between forty and
fifty acres, and they ought to obtain an assurance that
their place of exercise should not be interfered with.

Mr. HUME wished the Bill to be referred to a Com.
mittee.

Sir J. EA STHOPE presented two petitions again&
the Bill.

The Bill was read a second time without opposition.

SOUTH-SEA HOUSE.

On Thursday a Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of
South-Sea Stock was held at the Company's House, in
Threadneedle-street; Charles Franks, Esq., the Sub-Gover-
nor, in the Chair.
The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed.
The CIIAIRMAN said that the present was the Half-yearly
General Court, and that the only business before it was for
him to make the usual declaration of the amount of the
Company's bond debt, and which was 4,500/.
The CHAIRMAN then said it had been requested that he
would at each Court of Proprietors state what was the
amount of the guarantee fund—it was now 376,000/. Three
per Cent. stock. The Court was aware that a long time ago
some of the Proprietors had expressed their regret that the
Company did So little with the capital which it possessed,
and several objects had, at different times, been suggested,
to which that capital might be applied with advantage. He
could assure the Court that the Directors did not wish to be
idle ; on the contrary, it was their anxious wish to promote
the interests of the Proprietors by every means in their
power; but it did so happen that the facilities for so doing
were not equal to that desire on their parts. The Company
was originally established for trading purposes. Its capital
was subsequently advanced to Government, and its funds had
since been treated and looked upon the same as other Govern-
ment securities. The majority of the persons holding that
Stock were persons who looked only to the amount of their
dividends, and there was consequently a very great difficulty
on the part of the Directors in undertaking any fresh matter,
the holders of Stock not being persons who were willing to
run any risk or hazard, and the Directors, therefore, felt that
any plan they proposed for the employment of the capital of
the Company must be limited to a something which did not
involve any risk ; and on considering that the plan must be
one of that nature, it had occurred to them, and it had also
been frequently suggested by the Proprietors, that the Com-
pany might act as trustees of either public or private trusts.
They had taken that subject into their most serious consi-
deration and although business of that kind could not be
conducted under the power of the charter, they still thought
that the Proprietors as a body might make some arrange-
ment by deed by which the business to which he had alluded
might be conducted. He was not prepared at present to

Messrs. Bass and Co., state, under this head, that some of their
Beer had been sold at 68 rupees 8 annas. This. however, as it ap-
pears from the statement of Messrs. Haviside and Co., was for ale of
the present season to arrive; while, at the same period, Messrs. Hall

PROPOSED NEW BRANCHES.

The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution would refer
to the new branches of the line which it was proposed to
construct. In the Report of the Directors to the Pro-
prietors in September last, they stated that surveys were
then in progress for branches to Ashton, Bury, Bradford,
and Huddersfield; and since then they have given the
preliminary notice which will enable this Company to
apply for powers to make branches to Huddersfield,
Bradford, and Bury, and which will enable an indepen-
dent Company to make a branch from this Company's
line to Ashton and Stalybridge. Having stated the
general advantages that would arise from the formation
of these two branches, he w. nt into some of the details
respecting thorn. The Huddersfield branch is 31 miles
long. and the section exceedingly favourable•. The gra-
dients and the curves are good. The expenses of the
works and the station are estimated at 36,0001. to 38,0001.,
and the land and general expenditure at 22,0001.
to 24,0001., making the probable cost of that line
60,0001., or somewhere thereabouts. These sections
wilt be laid on the table for inspection by the Proprie-
tors, or, if the meeting desire it, they will be more
fully explained by Mr. Gouch. The Bradford line will
be lot miles long from the main line. With the excep-
tion of an incline in going over a hill which lies between
our line and Bradford, that branch will be also favour-
able as regards gradients. The incline will be about a
mile and a quarter long on each side of the hill, and the
gradients varying from lin24 to 1 in 33. It will be
worked by a stationary engine, and these gradients are
not now unusual, and there is no mechanical or prac-
tical difficulty in making a line or working it with such
gradients. The Bradford branch, as I have stated, is
101 miles long. The works and station and fixed engine
are estimated at 113,0001. The land and station and ge-
neral expenses, including a very central station at Brad-
ford, where the land is high, the lar.d will be 60,0001. ;
making a total of 173,0001. or 174,0001. the estimated
cost of the Bradford Branch. The estimated cost of the
two branches will be from 230,000/. to 240,0004 being
about 16,000/. a mile.

The resolution, authorising the construction of the
Huddersfield and Bradford Branch, was then put by the
Chairman, seconded by ➢lr. Pease, and carried unani-
mously.

It has been found impossible longer to contend with the

capital with unequalled resources of every kind requisite for the
proper production of a Directory of the metropolis. These ad-
vantages place that work on such an elevation, that further
competition with it would be as injurious to Bowtell and Co.,
as it would be unjust to their Subscribers.

THE BURY BRANCH.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the line resolved on for
this branch was one passing through Middh.ton. It will
be six and three quarter miles from Middleton, and
twelve miles from punt's Bank to Bury by that route.

The works generally are of a very favourable character.
The estimated expense of the works and station at Bury
is 76,000/., the land and general expenses come to about
29,0001. or 30,0004 making a total expense of from
106,0001. to 110,000/.
No decision was come to with respect to this branch.
THE ASHTON BRANCH.
The CHAIRMAN, with reference to this branch, said
that this line was calculated to connect Ashton and
Stalybridge with Liverpool ; and that that alone would
necessarily be a large and important source of traffic,
which would go far towards paying the expense of its
formation. In addition to that they had 750,000 passen-
gers a year between Oldham and
_Manchester, so the
proportion due to the population of Ashton and Staly-
bridge would be about 663,000 ; and if any considerable
portion of the passengers passed along their line, with
the economical mode in which we can work these short
lines, we can have no doubt at all that there will be a
reasonable prospect of profit. But he did not come for-
ward to ask them to enable them to make such a line,
but simply, that if other parties came forward, and wished
to snake such a branch, that they would give them every
facility in their power, and that they should even go so
far, if necessary, as to offer them a limited guarantee of
the profits to be realised from it. If the Proprietors did
not view it in this way, then, by not sanctioning this re-
solution. the matter will be left entirely in the hands of
the Ashton and Stalybridge gentlemen to take it up or
not, as they please.
After considerable discussion, the resolution sanc-
tioning the construction of the line was carried, with
only one dissentient.
The CHAIRMAN then moved the following resolution:
—" That the Directors be, and they are hereby autho-
rised to, adopt such measures, and make such arrange-
ments with the landowners and other parties as may
appear to them expedient, in order to obtain all or any
of the Parliamentary powers intended to be applied for,
or which may be expedient to be resorted to in antici-
pation of those powers, or which may tend to facilitate
the subsequent execution of the same."
It was seconded by Mr. HOULDSWORTH, and carried
unanimously.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by
their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they
can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresent*.
tations ; and numerous casts have shown how worthless may be
a policy obtained from the most influential office, which is un-
restrained by this equitable principle, which removes all anxiety
as to future dispute or litigation, and enhances immeasurably
the value of the policies as documents of security.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who give to the
assured on the mutual principle the whole of the mutual accu-
mulations, and also guarantee the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind them-
selves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for
which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the
claims arise.

THIS IS ALMOST TIIE ONLY COMPANY who
grant in favour of creditors whole-world policies, whereby the
debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 29.—The King arrived at the Palace
at eleven o'clock this morning, and at noon gave audience
to several functionaries in the different branches of the
Administration, both of the capital and the province, as
well as to a great number of persons of distinction.
The Senate continued to-day the debate on the Ways
and Means, which, after some observations by different
Members, was agreed to by a majority of 23 to 3. The
Senate then agreed to the vote of credit, for the depart-
ment of public works ; to the law relative to the impor-
tation of barley and rye; and to that concerning the tolls
on the canals and rivers.
A deputation of six Members was then chosen al com-
pliment the King on the new year.

TRIESTE, DEC. 18.—The collections for the Germans
in Greece proceeds very satisfactory, and thu inhabitants
of Trieste show, on this occasion, their usual liberality.

We hear that the French steamers, from Marseilles to
Alexandria, are to go by way of Malta, mad not, as
hitherto, by way of Byra. By this change we should
be obliged to have our correspondence, to and from Alex-
andria, pass through Marseilles, which will not be indif-
ferent to our merchants.

Since the proclamation of June, 1642, a number of

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.—If the direct
written testimony in favour of the purity and perfection
of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, given, after analysis, by
three of the most eminent Chemists of the day, needed any con-
firmation, it will be found in the fact, that it is employed, in
preference to Foreign Brandy, under high medical direction, in
many of the principal Hospitals, Infirmaries, and other Public
Institutions in the Kingdom ; among which it may suffice to
name Guy's, St. George's, and the Westminster Hospitals in
the Metropolis ; and the Manchester, Bristol, and Brighton In-

It has been found impossible longer to contend with the
" POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY," a work combining large
capital with unequalled resources of every kind requisite for the
proper production of a Directory of the metropolis. These ad-

competition with it would be as injurious to Bowtell and Co.,
as it would be unjust to their Subscribers.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND

Vubltr Optittott.

" TVho runs may read."

FOREIGN.

The French mail brings the intelligence that the ex-
Queen Regent of Spain had accepted the invitation of
her daughter and the Council of Ministers to proceed to
Madrid. She was to set out as soon as domestic circum•
stances would permit.
The present-Cortes are to be dissolved as soon as the
Ministers have obtained their authority for the collec-
tion of the taxes.

Sir Charles Metcalfe, the Governor-General of Canada,
has prorogued the refractory Provincial Parliament.
Senor Olozago has taken refuge in Portugal, having
entered Castello Branco on the 19th ult. The autho-
rities immediately communicated with the Lisbon Go-
vernment, who dispatched orders fur his reception with
the attention due to his exalted rank.
The funeral of Louis Brune, of Rouen, whose death
we announced a few days ago, took place on Wednesday.
The hearse was followed by an immense concourse of
persons of all ranks, by detachments of the national
guards and of the line ; the deceased having been a
member of the Legion of Honour, by several deputations
of Freemasons, &c. On the same day was buried at
Rouen, one of its most distinguished citizens, M. Bouctot,
who has left by will 100,000 f. to the hospices, 100,000 f.
to bureaux de bienfaisance, and 100,000 f. to other public
establishments.

The Houston Telegraph (Texas) intimates that a large
majority of Members of both Houses of Congress are in
favour of the annexation of Texas to the United States.
That paper, in "speculating on this subject, says that
" notwithstanuing the indirect admissions that have been
made by the intimate friends of the executive, that he is
opposed to :►nnexation, we are still confident that he
really desires that the measure may be effected. He
may be restrained by some secret pledge to the British
Government, from openly advocating the measure, but
if a proposition were to be offered on the part of the
United States to renew the negotiations for annexation,
we consider it certain tha the would accede to it with joy."
A letter from Ragusa, Dee. 4, states that shocks of an
earthquake continue to be felt every day more and more
sensibly. On the above day a violent shock took place
at half-past four in the morning, and roused up all the
inhabitants. It was followed by a number of lesser shocks.
Accounts from Monte Video of October 18, state that
the town was still besieged-and blockaded, that Admiral
Brown had sent notice a day or two previously to the
different Consuls, and that it was his intention to enforce
the blockade. The Brazilian Admiral had received
orders to acknowledge the blockade, but the misunder-
sta.nding between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, had not been
het:Jed.

M.A.W AND POLICE.

At the Stafford Assizes on the 30th ult., Samuel Fel-
lows, aged 19, Robert Purslow, 21, John Perry, 18, and
Daniel Webb, who were acquitted at a late hour on
Thursday night of the murder of Mary Jane Wild, were
indicted for assaulting the unfortunate girl, with intent
to commit a rape upon her, and found guilty. The Judge
Mr. Baron Rolfe, sentenced them to 18 months' im-
prisonment with hard labour.
Joseph Parnell, a respectable-looking man, and by
trade a butcher, was indicted in the New Central
Criminal Court for marrying Mary Ann Maria Wood,
on the 16th of January, 1839, his wife being then and
now living. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, with
a recommendation to mercy. Mr. Commissioner Bullock
said that he would not, for the sake of his children and
his wife, to whom he had made some reparation, inflict
a long imprisonment. The sentence was imprisonment
for three calendar months.

At Queen-square police-court, James Strachan, a
well-dressed young man, was committed on a charge of
inducing children of a tender age to issue counterfeit
coin.

At Marylebone, George Patmore and Robert Jerran,
two canal boatmen, were charged with improper con-
duct towards a married woman between 50 and 60 years
of age, and afterwards committing a brutal assault upon
her when she remonstrated. The former was ordered
to pay a fine of 5/. and the latter 40s. Being unable to
pay they were locked up.
At Woolwich, a middle-aged man, named Hammond,
who has hitherto borne a most irreproachable character
in the town of Woobi ich, was charged with stealing pots
from licensed victuallers and others. The case excited
the greatest interest, from the respectability of the pri-
son?r's friends, and he being the last person to be sus-
pected of carrying on this systematic sort of plunder.
He was at the same time charged with attempting to
utter counterfeit coin. After several witnesses had
given evidence, the Magistrate said was it not from the
urgent solicitation of those present to deal leniently with
the case, he should decidedly commit him for trial, as it
looked like a regular system carried on by him, and
little expected as the party. He now should fine him
the highest penalty the law allowed, that was 51., in
default to be committed to Maidstone gaol. for one month
and held labour.

Mr. Broderip, after disposing of the night charges at
the Thames Police-office, remarked that the amendment
in the habits and manners of the people of the district
was very striking. A night of festivity—th going out
of the old year and the coming in of the new one—had
just taken place, and Sunday had also intervened, but
there were only four cases of drunkenness ; none of
them were attended w ith violence and disorder, and they
were of the ordinary description. It was a great amend-
ment indeed. The district to which the Magistrate re-
ferred comprises 'a population of 100,000 persons, in-
cluding Shadwell, Limehouse, Poplar, and St. George's-
in-the-East, where sailors most do congregate.

to relieve these who suffer from Diffic-itty of Breathing.
