Ir. T. WIIITIIARSIfS BANKRUrTC V.

The bankrupt w:ls an hotel keeper, hariPg one esta,
blishment at Mackheath, and another in George-strvet,
Hanover- square. Ilis debts and liabilities are said to be
between 7,000/. and 8,000/., and his assets depend much
upon the realisation of furniture, &c.—the fitting up of
the hotels.

An inquiry was entered into relative to plate and fur-
niture, but nothing of importance was elicited ; but an
adjournment of his last examination for one week was
allowed to institute further investigation if it were
thought necessary.

COURT OF SEWERS.

Yesterday a Court of Sewers for the City and
Liberty of Westminster, and part of the County of
Middlesex, was held in the Sewers-office, Greek-
street, Soho-square, John Donaldson, Esq., in the
chair.

The Court was occupied during the day with
ordinary business, the receiving of collectors and
clerks' reports, and the ordering of payments to the
contractors, Messrs. Bennett, and to other parties.
The Court then sanctioned the building of addi-
tional lengths of sewer in Gloucester-road, Pad-
dington; in Mensal-town; and in Charlotte-street,
Bloomsbury; and, after some other uninteresting
business had been transacted, it adjourned.

INIENTS.

Conformably to the Law of the 11th June, 1842, the French Go-
vernment bave resolved on the formation of a railway from Paris to
necessary to slate that, by the terms of that law,
the land-will be purchased, and the earthworks, tunnels, bridges, sta-
tions, &c., will be executed by the Government, at their own ex-
pense and risk. A lease. of the line for working will be made to the
Company, whose investment will be limited to the ballasting of the
road, the supplying and laying down of the rails, and providing the
engines, carriages, &c. The ratification of this lease, the duration of
the grant, the conditions of working, and the tariff of rates will be the
matter of a special law.
COMPARATIVE ABSENCE OF RISK.
All the advantages of railway investment will thus he secured to
the Shareholders without those risks involved in the purchase of
land, and errors in the estimate of cost, which have so frequently oc-
curred in similar undertakings iu England. The only object of consi-
deration will be the conditions to be obtained from the French Go-
vernment for the working of the line, and there are sufficient data to
convince the Provisional Directors that favourable terms will be
granted to the proposed company.

SUPPLY.

'The Order of the Day for going into the Committee of
Supply having been again read,
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD said he would only de-
tain the genie far one moment, whilst he expressed his inten-
tion not further to persevere in his efforts to stop thegrant of
supplies until-the grievances. of the people had been redressed.
Hp had persevered as -far as he could; but in-ceasing. to pere-
*ere he wished it to he understood that he protested against the
competency of that House to make lavis sa /Ong-as the great
body of the people were. tutrepresented in it._ He admitted he
Was not backed bya•sufficient power of public opinion to make
it desirable for him to continue his efforts ; but he wished it to
be understood that:Whenever that power of opinion
.should, in
his judgment, be sufficient,. he should renew :his endeaiours.
With -this protest-he should not further attempt to hinder the
House goirig.on with -those supplies which the exigencies of the
public service *ere said to reqUire.—(Hearhear..) •• .
The House then went into the Committee of Supply.
• --ARMY ESTIMATES. . .

The first vote was for 158,2311. for defraying the charge of
the General and Staff'officers in Great Britain' and Ireland,
and foreign stations, except India, which was' agreed to with
out any discussion. • •
The next vote was for 90,308/. for charges of allowance of
officers of the several public military establishments of Great
Britain.

Mr. WILLIAMS complained of the charge for the Com-
mander-in-Chief and his Staff being increased upwards of
2,00 C/. for the present year: He wanted to know why the
present Commander-in-Chief was allowed so much more than
the last. Lord Hill, as Commander-in-Chief, received
9/. 9s. 3d. a-day, while the •present Commander-in-Chief re-
ceived 161. Bs. 9d. a-da.y.
Sir H. H ARDINGE said that the reasota.of the difference
was this, the one was a field-Marshal, while the other was
only a Lieutenant-General.
After some short discuE.sion the. vote was agreed to, as were
also the following votes : .
13,408/. to defray the charge of the Royal Military College,
and the Hibernian School.

88,076/. for the volunteer Corps.
L 6491. for the unprovided service of former years.
13,953/. to defray the nharges for the reward of distinguished
services.

27,000/. to defray the charge of general officers.
The next vote proposed was for a sum of 62,3001. for defray
ing the allowances of•retired officers.
. .

Colonel RAWDON wished to know whether there would be
any objection to permitting officers to retire on a superior rank,
with the allowances only.of the rank which they then held?
Sir HENRY HARDINGE thought there would be serious
objections to such a propoSal. For instance, an officer, with
the half-pay of a colonel, would have to support the rank of a
general officer.—,The vote was then agreed to.

The next vote proposed was for 450,3001. for half-pay
allowances.
Colonel RAWDON suggested that the sums retained for the
support of officers in hospitals, suffering from mental aberration,
should, when they were dismissed from hospital, be returned to
them with interest.

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM "A LARK."--Yesterday
an inquest was held at the Duke of Wellington, Tenter-
ground, Spitalfields, before Mr. Baker, respecting te death
of James Thomas -,'ousens, a fine lad, aged eight years, who
was killed under the following circumstances :—From the
evidence it appeared, that last I riday afternoon the deceased
left his parents' residence, No. 7, Flower-and-Dean-street,
to go to school, and on his way he proceeded to call one of
his schoolfellows, named James Riches, twelve years of age,
who lived in the parlour of the same house. He knocked
at the door, and, after waiting some time, and receiving
no answer, he looked through the key-hole of the
door, so as to en if any body was in the room, when at the
same moment Riches, from the inside, passed a long iron
skewer through the hole, penetrating with great force the
deceased's right eye. He was immediately conveyed to the
London Hospital, but left at his own request for his own
home. On the succeeding day he became delirious, owing
to the acute Vit) and in which state he expired on the same

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, March 8.

FEES TO CLERICS IN PETTY SESSIONS.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved for certain
returns relating to fees paid to clerks in petty sessions.
No grievance, he said, was more heavy upon the poorer
classes of the country than the demands made upon
them in the shape of fees. The result was, that there
was almost an absolute denial of justice to a great num-
ber of persons who happened to be in a state of poverty.
The returns were then ordered.
CORN-LAWS.

The Earl of HADDINGTON presented two petitions
from Haddington and other places, praying for protec-
tion to the agricultural interest ; in doing so, he said
that a meeting had been got up by about twenty persons
in favour of the Anti-Corn-law League movement ;
and from them a petition had emanated purporting to be
from the agriculturists of the country, and, in conse-
quence, several meetings were held of those, who were all
persons composed of landowners, farmers, and agricul-
tural servants, from which the petitions he had pre-
sented emanated.
The Marquis of NORMANBY moved for certain
returns with respect to the Charitable Donation Funds
in Ireland.

did not ,however, think that the proposal was as favour-
able to the public creditor as had been generally ex-
pected. He did not mean to Eay that the present plan
might not be carried out; he hoped it might, but there
would be great difficulties in working it. He would
ask the Right Hon. Gentleman how he proposed to levy
the income-tax on annuities for ten years, and on per-
manent annuities?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, of
course the income tax would be levied on all species of
incomes. lie could not sit down without expressing his
thanks to the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, the late
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in particular, and to Hon.
Members opposite, for the very kind manner in which
they had received his proposition. They had laid aside
party warfare, which was at times essential to the inte-
rests of the country, but the absence of it on a matter
like this must have a very beneficial effect in enlisting
public confidence in favour of the arrangements, and be
materially conducive to the public welfare.
Mr. BLEWITT inquired if there were any contract
between the Bank of England and the Government, to
the effect that the Bank should pay- off the dissentients.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Cer-
tainIy not.--The resolutions were then agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed
a resolution embodying the provisions of former Acts of
Parliament for paying off the dissentients.—Agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the House
resumed.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES.

The privileges of a SociCte Anonyme will be secured to the Com-
pany by a Royal Ordinance, which will limit the liabilities of the
proprietors to the amount of their subscription, as in the incorporated
railways of England, and the statutes of the Paris and Rouen, and
Rouen and Havre Railway, which have been proved to work well,
will be, as far as practicable, adopted in the constitution of the
Company.
MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY.
The executive management of the Company will be conducted by a
Board of Directors sitting in Paris, attended by an English resident
director, and their proceedings will be regularly communicated to the
English directors, who will have the privilege of voting by proxy.
An •filce will be established in London for the transfer of shares, the
payment of dividends, and the furnishing of information to the
Proprietors.
APPROPRIATION OF PROFITS.
After the opening of the line, the profits, at each declaration of
dividend, will he thus appropriated. An allowance of 5,0001. per
annum to be made to the Directors, including the remuneration of
the English resident Director, and after payment of a dividend to
the Shareholders of five per cent., one per cent. will be reserved as
a sinking fund ; or, instead of this allowance of 5,0001., the Directors
may, at their option, claim one-twentieth of the remainder, after
the above dividend and reservation. The surplus to be again di-
vided into twentieths ; eighteen twentieths to be apportioned to the
Shareholders. and the remaining two-twentieths to the projectors.
PROVISION IN CASE OF NON-CONSTITUTION OF THE
COMPANY. .

In the event of the Company not being constituted, the deposit
money will be returned to the Subscribers without deduction, but
without interest, the projectors, in that case, bearing all expenses.
POWER AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DIRECTORS.
It is obvious that in such an important undertaking as the present
full power should be given to the Directors, and it must be understood
that the Subscribers are bound by such terms as the Directors may
accept on their behalf, but the Subscribers may rest assured that in
all negotiations the Directors will have a strict regard for the general
interest of the body they represent.

ENGINEER.
An English Engineer of eminence will be appointed by the English
Directors as soon as they are in a position to require his services.

BABLE EXTENT OF TRAFFIC.

No doubt can exist as to the great extent of traffic to be anticipated
from the construction of this line. The report of M. Correard, an
eminent civil engineer, which will be deposited at the office of the
Company for reference, has been obtained, and in this it is announced
that the agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing resources
of the provinces bordering or within easy distance of the line, are
those of fifteen of the richest provinces in France—viz., Seine, Seine
et Oise, Seine et Marne, Aisne, Ardennes, Marne, Aube, Haute-Marne,
Meuse, Moselle, Meurthe, Vosges, Haute-Saone, Haut-Rhin, and Bas-
Rhin, abounding in forests, mines, collieries, Iron works, mills, and
factories, as well as in rich vineyards, and various agricultural pro-
ductions. All of these provinces import much of what they consume,
and have abundant surplus produce to export. The interme-
diate traffic on this route is considered to be greater than
in any other part of France, the total annual trade being estimated
at 100,000 French tons between Strasburg and Paris; while that
between and among the various localites enumerated embraces
double this amount. The total population is about six milliions and
a quarter, and the total land revenue 320,000,000 f., or 12,800,0001.,
double that of the whole kingdom of Belgium.
PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS OF INVESTMENT.

The amount of capital intended to be raised at present is
60,000,000 f., or 2,400,0001., in nearly equal parts, in England and
France. The deposit to be 50f. or 2/. ;on payment of which receipts
will be granted by the respective bankers of the Company, to be
exchanged for certificates of shares at the Company's Office in Lon-
don, when the contract shall be ratified. The remaining instalments
will only be called for at intervals of not less than three calendar
months, at the rate of 21. each ; the first instalment not to be called
for sooner than three months after the passing of the law constituting
the Company. After full payment of the amount due in respect of
his shares, each Shareholder will have the option of receiving cer-
tificates payable to bearer.

the passing of the law, until the Company shall be in Hill operation ;
and such Shareholders as may pay their calls in London will be en-
titled to any profit accruing from the assumed exchange at 25f. per 11.

GRIEVANCES OF THE PEOPLE.

On the question that the House do resolve itself into
a Committeee of Supply,

Mr. S. CRAWFORD rose for the purpose of pre-
senting several petitions, complaining that the House did
not fairly represent the opinions of the people, and that
they were not adequate to the voting away of the pub-
lic money. The Hon. Member presented retitions to
this effect from Aberdeen, and from the inhabitants of
Bridport, and other places.

physic, so agreeable as to be preferred to all others; moreover, as a

cannot be too seriously recommended to those who are subject to cos-
tiveness, bile, indigestion, spasms, and diseases of the liver, stomach,

may be required without the aid or .knowledge of any one!

INFLUENZA, COUGHS, AND COLDS.

QTAICO'S ESSENCE of tINSEEIi is the most
-y efficacious remedy ever discovered for the relief of persons suffer—
ing from Influenza ; the two first doses generally arrest the progress
of this distressing complaint and a little pers verance completely
removes it. Children's Coughs, as well as recent ones in adults, will
be removed by a few doses (frequently by the first), and asthmatic
persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in bed, have
received the utmost benefit from the use of

tions from different parts of Sussex.

MANCHESTER RAILWAY.

Mr. WILSON PATTEN moved the second reading
of this Bill.

Mr. ESTCOURT would just mention that there
were two Bills before the House, and that an application
had been made to the Committee of Selection to appoint
the Committee on one of those Bills. Upon that appli-
cation being made he immediately sent to the agent
for the other Bill, to know if he was ready. His reply
was, that he should not be ready for some time—the
consequence was, that a great hardship was inflicted upon
the parties who were ready at once to go before the
Committee.

Mr. GLADSTONE said, that if parties, for the pur-
pose of creating delay, should be found to take advan-
tage of the rule of that House, which provided that
Bills for competing railway lines should be referred to
the same Committee, he thought some measure ought
to be adopted to prevent such a course being taken.
After a short discussion, the Bill was read a second
time.

NEWPORT DOCKS BILL.
Mr. BLEWITT brought in the Newport Docks Bill,
which was read a first time.
COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY BILLS.
_ _ _

Mr. lIINDLEY rose to move the following resolu-
tion:—" That any Member, whose constituents are locally
interested in any competing lines of railway, maybe
permitted to sit upon the Committee appointed to decide
upon their respective merits, though without being
allowed to vote upon any question arising thereon."
The House, by the resolution to which they had come
the other evening, on the subject of the constitution
of Committees on Railway Bills, had, in fact, given up the
representation of their constituents altogether. Be ad-
mitted that it was perfectly right that the Members who
bad a personal interest in private Bills should be ex-
cluded from the Committees ; but with regard to the
representatives of local interests, their case rested upon
a very different footing. To whom would the country
look for the defence of their local interests, ex-
cept to their respective representatives ? The House
had stultified itself by the resolutions it had come to
on that subject. Did they mean to say that a Member
who represented local interests, had not sufficient know-

IMPORTANCE OF THE LINE,

It will be perceived that the line now proposed, from Paris to Stras-
burg, passing through Meaux, Chalons, and Nancy, must establish-
an
international communication, traversing the richest and most
Industrious provinces of France, and commercially uniting England,
by the port of Havre and the French metropolis, with Austria, Ba-
varia, the manufacturing province of Alsace, Switzerland. and the
Rhine ; bringing into readier and closer intercourse, not only France
and Germany, but Great Britain and the whole Continent, the city
of Strasburg being already the point of departure for travellers fl'om
and to the Germanic Provinces, and the point to which the national
railways of Germany are intended to converge.

did not, however, think that the proposal was as favour-
able to the public creditor as had been generally ex-
pected. He d►d not mean to say that the present plan
might not be carried out; he hoped it might, but there
would be great difficulties in working it. He would
ask the Right Hon. Gentleman how he proposed to levy
the income-tax on annuities for ten years, and on per-
manent annuities?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, of
course the income-tax would be levied on all species of
incomes. -He could not sit down without expressing his
thanks to the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, the late
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in particular, and to lion.
Members opposite, for the very kind manner in which
they had received his proposition. They had laid aside
party warfare, which was at times essential
.-to the inte-
rests of the country, but the absence of it on a matter
like this must have a very beneficial effect in enlisting
public confidence in favour of the arrangements, and be
materially conducive to the public welfare.
Mr. BLEWITT inquired if there were any contract
between the Bank of England and the Government, to
the effect that the Bank should pay off the dissentients.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Cer-
tainIy not.—The resolutions were then agreed to. •
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed
a resolution embodying the provisions of former Acts of
Parliament for paying off the aissentients.—Agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the House
resumed.
