The Committee have to apprise the public that no further Applica-
tions for Shares can be received, except from parties locally interested
in the line. The Allotment of Shares is being proceeded with, with
as little delay as the numerous applications will admit, and, in the
meantime, the surveys are being completed, and, in fact, are in sucli
a state of forwardness as to leave no doubt as to this Company being
able to apply to Parliament and/proceed with their Bill during the
ensuing session. Preparations are also being made for the removal
of the offices of the Company to a more convenient house in the
City. WILLIAM OLEADAH, Secretary.

The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will commence at the several
points of Tirlemont and Landen towards the north, and Huy, Namur,
Gosselies, and Chatelinean (Charleroi) on the south, and will directly
connect the provinces of Brabant, Hainanit, Liege, Limburg, and
Namur with each other, and the Government lines of railway, as
also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hasselt,
Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and by the Great Luxem-
bourg.
The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the
census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551, and the dis-
tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and
comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Bel-
gian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles, and the in-
variable rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing
lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of
the country through which this line will pass.
This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of
Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rich in
ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume-
rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac-
tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot sugar, gunpowder, &c.
The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex-
tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply
all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate.
A considerable saving will be effected in the cost of iron, and of
the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac-
tured at the Corwin works ceded to this Company.

more terrible than diasolu cion, rashes upon his fate, and ex-

been confided to his keeping by its ALMIGHTY source. If
the ruined but high-born gamesters on the turf, the
once enormously rich and luxurious, but suddenly
broken, speculator can, to a very certainty, find in every
coroner's jury a sympa.thy for his last mental afflictions, and
a merciful straining of the law to rescue his insensible corpse
and his future mem)ry from superadded ignominy, how
happens it that the poor peasant, whose life has been passed
in the ever-toiling but unsuccessful attempt to secure the
necessaries of existence—not to accumulate only to abuse the
superfluities of its 'enjoyments—how h appens it, if he, maddened
by the breaking down of all his honest exertions to sustain
himself by the sweat of his own brow, rushes on the crime of
self-destruction, rather than eat the bread of parochial alms,
as it is now too commonly and too grudgingly bestowed ; that

It would appear that the inhabitants of England are
doomed ever to be the victims of the vested interest of the
clergy, for while the tithe-owning rector of the country
parish joins with the monopolist landowner in opposing the
opening of the ports for the free 'admission of the food of
the people, because he has a vested interest in famine;
his brother rector of the town claims an equal'y vested
interest in plague and pestilence, and as strenuously opposes
all plans for the establishment of cemeteries out of the City.
A letter from Dr. CRoNIN, the physician to the Strand Dis-
pensary for the Cure of Consumption, appears in our columns
to-day, descriptive of the present state of the Savoy
Churchyard, which is situated between the back of
the houses in the Strand and the river, in the
midst of a densely populated neighbourhood. " At all times"
says Dr. CRoNIN, " there is a most noxious effluvium from
this churchyard, and when (in a heavy dense state of atmos-
phere, as at the present time, and as has been for the last
five weeks) a grave is opened, the stench and emanations are
really intolerable, and truly deserving of public reprehension
and denunciation, as most fertile causes of producing and
spreading pestilential disease."
The Doctor thus describes the effects produced upon himself
by the noxious exhalations from this magazine of pestilence :
—" Several paves have been lately opened within the last
month. In one day there was in this small churchyard
less than three open at the same time, the noxious exhala-
tions from which were so overpowering as to produce on my-
self faintness, succeeded by violent retching."
The description is not overcharged, and so far is the Savoy
Churchyard from °sing an unfavourable specimen of the
burial-grounds in the metropolis, that we have no hesitation
in stating that we know of no burial-ground which is not
more crowded, more closed up, more pestilential. The
Savoy is, perhaps, the most favourable specimen of a
metropolitan burial-ground that the advocates of inter-
ment within the precincts of great towns could produce
Surely Sir J. GRAHAM will no longer hesitate to bring in some
measure to do away with this crying evil. He it is who is
responsible for its continuance, as but for his interference, ac-
companied by a promise that the Government would con-
sider the subject, Mr. MAcitoxox would have perse-
vered in the measure which he introduced, two ses-
sions ago, for prohibiting iqterments within the pre-
cincts of large towns. The Government did consider
the subject, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM announced that
they were not prepared with any measure, as they found it
impossible to reconcile conflicting interests. We hope, how-
ever, that the matter will now be taken up in right earnest
and that the safety and health of the community will be no
longer sacrificed to the grasping avarice of those who claim
a vested interest in " plague, pestilence, and famine."

Madrid journals of the 21st state that, though no official
business is transacted on the Bourse, purchases to a consider-
able amount had lately been made, and a considerable rise in
the funds had taken place. A rich capitalist, according to
the Espanol, had invested large sums in the Three per Cents.
and continued to purchase all that is offered for sale. The
quotations, as given in private letters on the 21st, were :
Three per Cents., 34 cash, 34} for the Account. Five per
Cents., 234 cash. Coupons, 24it to 25 for the Account. Pas-
sive Debt, sb to si for cash. These prices show a rise of
nearly 2 per cent. since the last official quotations. The Edi-
tor of the Espectador had been tried for a libel on the Go-
vernment, but without a jury, and condemned to pay a fine
of 20,000 reals (2001.) One of the papers repeats the rumour
that ABD-EL-KADER had agents at Gibraltar and Lisbon to
engage European officers in his service ; and adds, " that a
committee for the same purpose had been established at
Madrid."

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the state of Al-
geria, and from the latest accounts it is anything but favour-
able. Several tribes that had made their submission to the
French had thrown off their allegiance, and thus, says the
Journal des Debats, "we have to fight our battles over again,
and renew our conquest over one half of the Algerian terri •
tory." The conclusion of the telegraphic dispatch from Per-
pignan gives rise to these remarks, and is as follows :
" General BOURJOLLY and Colonel ST. Amai) had effected
their,junction, and were awaiting reinforcements previous to
commencing operations. Boy MAGA, with 300 cavalry, had
attacked, on the 18th inst., a tribe under the very walls of
Mostaganem. Lieutenant-Colonel MELtasEr, with the troops
which were in that town, had repulsed him. During the
night of the 18th three tribes of the subdivision of Oran had
evoked. They are the first of that subdivision which have
failed in their allegiance. The 700 men embarked at !Port
Vendres, on board the Labrador, are the first troops which
have arrived at Oran from France. Their arrival has pro-
duced the best effect, and will contribute to main-
tain the fidelity :a the tribes which as yet have
not revolted." The intelligence conveyed in this dis-
patch is considered highly unsatisfactory. The French
troops, though said to amount to 80,000 men, and scattered
over a vast extent of territory; probably one-third of them
are invalided ; and numerous small divisions are thus exposed
to the sudden attacks of ABD-lI,EADER'S troops. Even the
Government paper, from which we have quoted, takes rather
a gloomy view of the present position of the army. " The
announced defection," it says, " of the three tribes in the
environs of Oran is, indeed, bad news. The minds of the
Arabs have been worked upon by assurances from the
agents of ABD-EL-KADER. that the reign of the infidels
was at an end. They have taken part in the general
movement, and reliance can be no longer placed on
the fidelity or even the neutrality of the tribes.
But we have now many advantages in our favour, which, at
the beginning were wanting to us, for we have roads, towns,
fortified camps, and points on the coast, where we can land
troops without interruption ; in fine, we have become ;per-
fectly acquainted with the topography of the whole country,
and the greater portion of our troops are well practised in the
species of warfare they have to carry on. We cannot fail in
the end to gain once more our object. As to the amount of
80,000 men, we may observe that this is the number of the
effective force, and there should be deducted from the active
force many non-combatants who are reckoned in the total;
that all the corps have a small depot in each of the towns of
Algeria; that the men in the hospitals are comprised in the
effective, and that the army is spread about in three wide
provinces, occupying a great many towns, fortified camps, and
posts stationed on the roads. It may, therefore, be easily-
conceived that the number of the moveable columns is ne-
cessarily restricted."
Accounts from Algiers announce that Marshal BUGEAUD
had commenced operations, and was on his way to put down
the rebellious tribes. The Moniteur Algerien states that on the
18th inst. the Governor-General, attended by his Aides-de-
Camp and orderly officers, left Algiers for Milianah to place
himself at the head of a column of 4,000 men collected
there for the purpose of acting to theeast of Oran. Colonel
EYNARD, the Marshal's first Aide-de-Camp, arrived at Algiers
on the 17th. M. GARNIER PAGES, the Deputy, arrived also
at Algiers on the same day. The .Akbar announces that it
had received intelligence that General CAVAIGNAC had made
a razzia on the tribe in which Commandant Bitzor. and
Lieutenant DE DOMBASLE, and their escort of Live hussars,
were so barbarously murdered. Before starting, however,
the eccentric Marshal had been busily engaged in issuing
proclamations and addresses. among others one to the Arabs
and Kabyles, in which we find these curious phrases:
" It appears that the demon of madness has possessed the minds
of some among you. Driven by the incessant instigations of a
