THE opposition to the new metropolitan rail ways, after what has been allowed in past years, even up to last session, is very like trying to shut the door after the steed has been stolen. If it is bad to allow railways in and through the town, the Blackwell, the Eastern Counties, the South Eastern, the South Western, and other lines ought to have been kept farther off—to say nothing of the Metropolitan Railway and its ex tensions. We object as strongly as any one to the cutting up of the City proper ; we are diaguated with the prospect of a railway bridge across Lud gate-hill ;we hate the viaduct across the Borough even more than we detest the half-smothered church spire which sprouts out of the sewer at the Southwark foot of London-bridge ; we have very little sympathy with people who want a railway station at every street corner, and promise soon to lose the use of their legs ; but more than all these we hate privileged interests. The projected rail_ ways—some thirty or forty in number—have mostly a claim to their bills on the ground that they wish to place certain main lines on a fair level to compete with others already favoured with metropolitan juno tions and extensions. We have nothing to do with the questions as to whether they are wanted and will pay ; we presume that those who propose to build them are the best judges of their own inte rests. Some of these lines, while in program., will doubtless be as great nuisances as the Metro politan Railway was; but when finished and opened, they will largely benefit the public. If a park, a square, or a main thoroughfare is to be crossed or run through, the passage should be made underground ; and if the levels will not allow this, and a detour cannot be made, the Bill ought to be refused. A central Government Board, that dream of expectant officials and the advocates of admi nistrative meddling, is no more required, however, to do such parochial work as this than it is to sweep the craning'. Maps of London are plentiful enough. People, unlike Lord Denny, who know every inch of London, are plentiful enough ; and a vigilant Parliamentary Committee, capable of calling for and sifting evidence, ought to be quite equal to this task, without requiring more official machinery. The chief railways proposed are twenty-four in number. First comes the Albert Station and Mid-London—a line to run from Fulham to Leicester-square ; and We, like a similar line from Kew, Richmond, and Hammersmith to the same central point, is opposed by the Metropolitan Board of Works, who defend the present and future sewers of Piccadilly. The sewers are as important to the public as railways, and this opposition, therefore, is entitled to a patient hearing. The East London and Rotherhithe, and Northern and Southern City Junction, are both railways which propose to cross the Thames below London bridge, and no schemes are more deserving of liberal support. Anything which promises to re lieve London-bridge, and 'to connect the vast docks on the north side of the river with the railways on the south side, is the one thing needful at the present moment. Most of the other proposed rail ways are extensions of existing main lines to and from the remote suburbs, and their character is sufficiently indicated by their titles. There is the Barnes, Hammersmith, and' Kensington ; the Fulham and Hammersmith ; the Grand Surrey and Commercial Dock (a goods line); the Great Eastern Extensions from Shore ditch to Tottenham and the City ; the Greenwich and Woolwich; the Hammersmith and City Juno tion with the Great Western ; Kensington, Knightabridge, and Metropolitan Junction ; Ham mersmith, Kew, and Richmond ; South London, Tooting, and Sutton ; Metropolitan, Tottenham, and Hampstead ; Midland Extension to King's-cross; North London and Edmonton ; Pimlico and Pad dington ; Putney, Balham, and City Junction ; Rotherhithe ; King's-cross to Regent-circus ; South London, Woolwich, and Greenwich ; a small private line ; and one or two that are not worth mentioning. Some of these railway schemes may drop through, for the present, from a want of compliance with the standing orders, and others, like the Regent circus Bill, may be thrown out under the influence of prejudice; but most of them will crop up again in another year or two, and get their bills as surely as the sun will rile to-morrow.

Among other arrangements which they were en gaged in deciding was the allotment of mate to the different wards of the City. That no jealousy or ill-feeling might be mused by some being more in front than others, as it is of course necessary that some must occupy the back mats, they decided by ballot.

Some disowns took place as to how the 100 tickets for the seats is qua tion should be distributed. It was decided that the mem ben of the court who were also members of the corporal. tion should sot participate in the distribution of these tickets, and that they should be divided among the other members protein ; of these member 33 were present, and accordingly three tickets were allotted to each member. The members of the court who will take part is the promesion through the City will wear their official uniforms as lord lieutenants, and they will meet on Saturday morning at Guildhall. and afterwards will proceed in conjunction with the members of the corporation to the Bricklayers' Arms station. Along the whole line through which the procemion yip par every nook and corner is being turned to account by tke erection of meta, sad in many bantams houses have been completely divested of their windows in order to incresee the accommodates.

The inhabitants of Piccadilly are also busily en gaged in preparing for the proemial ; but Hyde-park. which has not yet been encroached upon by any of these temporary erections, will probably be left free for the evolutions of the large body of volunteers who are to assemble there, and for the enjoy meat of the public in general. The Edgeware•road pro. mines to present a very py appearances, and the road be tween Oxford and Cambridge terraces will be bounded on each side by a series of booths capable of seating an immense number of the inhabitants of Tyhmoia. There will not be much display at the station of the Great Western Railway —a few seats on the platform and • scanty collection of flags being the extent of the company's preparations. The Privetss Alexandra will, on alighting, pass through the " Queen's Boom," which is kept exclusively for the um of royalty, and then, by means of a temporary bridge, cross over to the second platform, where a special train will be ready to convey the royal party to Windsor. Her Majesty's gunboats Bullfrog, Carnation, Sepoy, and Spanker, belonging to the first division of the Sheerness steam reserve, will proceed to Gravesend to morrow, by order of the Admiralty, in charge of Lieut.

After the lauding the gunboat. will proceed to London with the volunteers, where they will disembark, and the gunboats will return to Sheerness. The gunboat Mastiff has been appointed to con vey the 13th Kent Volunteer Artillery from Sheerness to Gravesend an the 7th instant, where they are expected to line the streets on the landing of her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra. The 4th Kent Volunteer Artillery and 22nd Kent Volunteer Rifles will leave Sheerness by train for the same purpose. Arrangements have been made with Professor Pepper for illuminating the dome of St. Paul's on the occasion of the marriage of the Prince of Wales, sad in addition to this, ![errs. Cairns and Co., of St. Paul's churchyard, have also engaged Profenor Pepper to light up the western facade of the Cathedral with the electric light at their own expense. Ltrlcomes-unt.On the occasion of the marriage of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, on Tuesday, the' 10th of March, the Society of Lincoln's-inn will celebrate' the event by a dinner in the ball to all their members, and also by distributing among the poor in the neighbourhood 400 tickets, of 2s. 6cl. each, of which 200 will be given to the out-patienta of King's College Hospital, and 200 to out putients of the Carey-street Dispensary.

Members of the Intl proposing to attend are limited to Friday next to send in their names to the steward. In the Paddington vestry yesterday, one of the notices oar the agenda paper was to appropriate seats in five carriages permitted by Sir Richard Mayne to take part in the royal procession. Mr. Roche introduced the motion, and said he thought the vestry of Paddington should be re p eeseuted in the premieres as the chief municipal body is that district, and that • sum of 15i. might be fittingly ex peaded in the hire of five carriages, to be trempied by 20 members of the =Wry, chosen by ballot. Captain Liveing supported, saying if the auditor disallowed the item, he would willingly contribute his share of the expose& Ser. jeant Gazelles strenuously objected to spending any public money, saying that the principle was decided at a former meeting, when • grant to be expended in illu minations and other demonstration wee rinsed. He was up rted in this view by several members, who propo s ed the 20 gentlemen selected should go at their own expense, but this course it was thought would not pro perly represent the vestry as a public body. Mr. Dicken son offered to pia*, • carriage at the disposal of the vestry, but for obvious reasons this proposal could not be enter. tamed, and after a long and amusing discussion, in the course of which it was suggested that the vestry should be mounted on the parish fire-engines with the beadles as drivers and footmen, and thus import • novel feature into a-royal cortege, it was resolved that Sir R. Mayne be in teemed that the parish authorities could not take part in the procession, there being no funds for such purposes. A large party of workmen yesterday commenced the necessary arrangements for illuminating the public seta , blishmenta at Woolwich on the night of the 10th iost. By direction of the War Department, the main entrance of the Royal Arend and other parts of its frontage will be deco rated with numerous appeopriate devices in gas, and exten sive preparations for the same purpose are sow in roams at the dockyard and other public buildings. The Emerald, .34, screw stram-vessel, Oaptrin A. Cumming, took up =fleeing' off Gravesend yeeterday, and the following vessels of the squadron ordered to escort the Primers Alexandra to England have also arrived at the Nore, via.: The Warrior, Defence, and Resistance. The Racoon, 22, screw corvette, Captain Count Victor F. G. Gleicken, is now moored off Greenbithe, and other vessels are expected to join the squadron to-day. On Saturday morning next the Naiad and other fastvessels of the Woolwich Steam packet Company, will lease Hungesford at 7.30, and Lon• don-badge Pier at 7.35, eoeveying passengers to Sea-reach, and returning to Gravesend with the royal squadron. After the disembarkation the vessels will proceed sewer to London, arriving in time to witress the royal preemie°. THE LADIES or MANCHA:NM AND THE PILINCIDaII ALEXANDIA.—On Monday • meth= of the ladies of the city of Member.= was held in she Mayor's Parlonr, in the Town-hall ; the Mayor (Abel Heywood, Faq4 in the chair. The object of the meeting was to select an ornament suit able for taboo to the Princeis Alexandra, on the occasion her marriage. Them was • large attendan ce. Some very splendid and costly articles of jewellery were displayed by Metres. Hunt and Haskell, of St. Ann'aequare, and Marrs. Hall and Co., of King-street. A magnificent opal bracelet, set with emeralds and diamonds, shown by Messrs. Hunt and Haskell, was unanimously selected. The bracelet consists of twenty large opals, which encircles the wrist, the centre stone being very large end rare, and the whole being studded with diamonds and emeralds. The value of the bracelet is upwards of 5001. The Poles have • superstition which attaches a peculiar significance to eery gem. The opal, they say, preserves its wearer from all dreases of the heart ; the diamond denotes parity and innocence ; while tbe emerald ensures continuous love. The Manchester gift to the Princess of Wake is, in ifs aspect, expressive, as well as costly and beautifuL Great difference of opinion has arisen in Liverpool in reference to the intended present to the Princess Alex andra. At a meeting of ladies, bald last week, a diamond atom was selected from the stock of Mr. Joseph Mayer, a local jeweller, valued at SOW. Since then it has been pointed out that the Princess has received several presents of so exactly similar description, and some of the subscribers now consider it advisable that the muss should be changed for some other article of equal value. The government, we understand, has given orders to the Custom-house officials in Liverpool, to illuminate the dome and Nodes of the Custom•houes. The Mersey Dock and Harbour board have decided upon illuminating portions of their property, and arranging for the life boats to be exer cised in the river, when prizes will be rowed for. Captain loglefield, It N., of the Majestic, has informed the mayor that at eight o'clock on the forenoon of the 10th his vessel will anchor off the north landing stage, and fire • royal salute. Between eight and nine p.m. the Majestic's yards will be manned, when a royal salute will be fired, accom panied by adisplay of fireworks, he.

H. 1.. Taylor, tie ciainama d the Iteeeptioe Cornmilsse, lomaght up a report in reference to the arrsogessak of EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova OW ooßsisroxpurr.) PARIS, TUISDAY EVINING. The budget committee, in a report signed by IL Segris, on the supplemental credits demanded for the year 1862, gives it clearly to be understood, although in very civil language, that the govern ment is in fact asking for a bill of indemnity in respect of the large sum of 25 millions of francs, appropriated without any legal warrant whatever for the prosecution of the war in Mexico. The fol lowing is the ministerial defence of this little "irregularity," as set forth in the report : The ministate told your committee that in the months of August and September, two months after the close of the legislative 'maim, the government found it necessary to augment the effective of the expeditionary corps in Mexico ; that this augmentation of course involved expenses beyond the estimates for pay, provisions, transports, Sc., but that this was one of those altogether exceptional cease of rut major which always supersede ordinary rules, and in presence of which a government would fail in its duty if it did not act upon its own responsibility. Three alternatives were open to the government. A decree of tiresome (trans fer of funds from some other bead), an adjournment, oven extraordinary convaostion of the chambers. A rim:sent was not possible, beanie there was no surplus available in any other department. Delay was out of the question, because the soldiers were suferiog for want of reinforcements, and rather than permit this it was better to act at ones and trust to a bill of indemnity. As to the last alternative — that of an extraordinary session of the Senate and Corps Legislatif —the government was guided by these swami derations : the ordinary session had only very re cently closed ; the money required wee not, strictly speak ing, a new expense, because the Corps Legislatif had already, by its patriotic votes, sanctioned the principle of subsidies for this war; and, moreover, an extraordinary convocetion of the legislature would not have failed to pro duce a painful emotion in the country, and imagination, exaggerating the truth, would have aggravated the unfortu nate state of things caused by the manufacturing crisis. The committee listened to these explanations with "great interest," but was not convinced by them ; and although it grants the bill of indemnity demanded, expresses a belief that means might have been found to get the necessary supplies in a manner conformable to the recent aenatua cosetatum, and M. Fould's emphatically expressed principles. It takes comfort, however, in the fact that minis ters agree with the committee in the interpretations of the senates consuitues, and admit that there is an "irregularity." The following is the pathetic history of the Budget of 1862, as set forth in the report : According to the original estim►ts the budget showed an excess of four millions. When it was voted as amended, with a special credit of 13 millions for the expedition to Mexico, the equilibrium seemed to be assured. The same hops were persistently encouraged so lately as October last, and DOW it turns out that there is a deficit of more than 34 millions. So much for the practical consequences of the Emperor's renunciation of the right to decree sup plemental credits which inaugurated M. Fould's assumption of the finance ministry. . . . Even the France does not think the ministerial excuses sufficient, and hazards the opinion that rather than break the law it would have been better to have told the country the worst at onoe, and convoked the chambers to sanction the credit required. All the papers say that the French army " intends" to capture and send to the Invalidee two guns now in Puebla which were taken by the Spaniards from Francis L at the battle of Pavia. These curious pieces of artillery were the other day in the fort of Perote, but the Mexicans suc ceeded in carrying them off when they evacuated that place. The Pays, in an article signed by the "secretary of redaction," and probably semi-official, com plains that the English government has given a very "cold" reception to the proposition of France to act together diplomatically in regard to Poland. I have heard in other quarters that the two govern ments are not exactly pulling together. THE FRENCH IN MEXICO. The Moniker of yesterday contains news of the French army in Mexico, which is of the usual cha racter. The intelligence is to the 25th of January, and it states that in consequenoe of the movement towards Puebla,Jalapa has been abandoned. " The occupation of this place," it adds, " uselessly iso lated forces intended for more active employment by the commander-in-chief." Several engage ments had taken place, which were not, however, of a nature to " inspire the enemy with confidence." The most serious of these took place on the 28th December, between Jalapa and Puerta Nationale, three companies of the 62nd having routed num berless guerillas, who left behind them 50 killed and a hags number of wounded. The Moniker, in conclusion, says :—" The material of the artillery and of the engineers has arrived at Orizaba from Vera Cruz ; General Forey is despatching convoys towards the upper plains. The siege train and all the batteries of the reserve have gone. Provisions are despatched in succession without delay upon the road which leads to Quec . holac. The sanitary con dition of the troops is satisfactory. Means of transport increase daily. In a word, everything is being prepared for the advance of the army." It is said that when Mieroelawaki left Paris he shaved off his beard, dyed his hair, sad amused the dia. meter of a commercial traveller in the wise trade. Be arrived on the 14th ult. at Berlin, and stopped there sane hours. On the 15th be WM at loowroclawo, aed spent the evening there with several Prussian officers, wham he treated to champs's,. Certain members of the &drawled party in Italy expressed their intention • short time slime of forming volunteer corps ostensibly to aid in repremieg the brigandage. By • circular dated the 10th February, which has just been published, the Minister of the Isterior announces that the formation of such corm oanoot be permitted except by th e direct authority of the government. The prefects are re quested to make this known to their subordisatee, and to take allneceseary measures for prevailing volunteer bodies from being orgatused.

They amount in all to 1,490,887 E, which is an increase of 17,2621. as compared with the previous year. The chief in crease is in the votes for the Foreign-offices, the Houses of Parliament, and the " Postage of Public Departments." The Bishop of Hereford writes to the Times : " I am sorry to Had that my name is not inserted in the list of archbishops and bishops signing the addres to Bishop Coleus° in your impression of this morning, and would request the favour of you to have it added, though the address is not as condemnatory as I could have wished it to have been." Mr. Collier will move on Friday, ae an amend ment to the resolution of Mr. Braley-Moore, "That this house, while it expremee its regret at the late tempo. racy interruption of our amicable relations with Brazil, 4 the same time recognises the duty of her Majesty's govern. meat to exteod its protection to British subject. in all parte of the world." It was rumoured yesterday at Woolwich that the superintendence of the rayal gun factories, rendered smut by the resignation of Sir William Armstrong, has been con. (erred on Mr. Anderson, the assistant superintendent, who is promoted to the chief grade, but without any increase; emolument. His pay is to remain at I,ooo'. as heretofore. The West London Extension Railway was opened for public traffic yesterday. This line is a cootimuitiao of the old West London Railway from Kensington across the Thames to the point on the South-Western end Brighton lines at Battersea known se Falcon-lane Junction (where the Richmood Branch joins the South• Western main line, and the West-End Mach of the Brighton Railway runs akeomide the latter), haring communications with both systems. It is of considerable importance am forming the first metropolitan junction between the great lines north and smith of the Thames on the west side of London, and was 000atructed under peculiar circumstances—then being no shareholders, and the capital being found in certain pro. portions by the Loodoo and North Western, the Great Western, the Brighton, and the South-Western Companies, who use the line to common. Rl2/1181NTATION OF COLCHZIFIXIL—IIe liberals of Colchester have had a meeting to consider the premed state of parties in the borough, and the prospect of an early dissolution of parliament. Mr. J. Gordon Itshow has beat cordially accepted as a liberal candidate.

COLMBO.—The committee of the Atha same Club bare, it is well known, the power of Meeting mutually a certain Dumber ^f distinguished persons as members, without subjecting them to a ballot, and we understand that Bishop Colons° has just been elected a member of the club in that way. COURT or ALDERMEN.—A special court was held yesterday at the Guildhall, to receive a report from the general purposes committee, in reference to the police regu lations for the 7th instant, on the 000uios of th e entry of her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra of Deumark into London.

Mr. De Jersey prodding, Dr. Letbeby, the me dical officer, reported on the state of 213 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 74 places for sanitary improvement., and also a fiat of visor requiring further proceedings on account of ordersalrrody issued, but not complied with. The markets and slaughter houses had bean duly inspected, and the alone had seized and condemned 3,480113 a. of meat as unfit for human food.

The sp. plication was at once granted. A ROMAN-Ct-THOLIC BISHOP ON CRINOLINE.—• Dr. Cullen has issued one of his long, rambling, and illogical letters called pastorals. After a denunciation of model schools and the seductions of protestant orphanages, be descants as follows on crinoline :—•• There is another matter which deserves notice —I mean that excessive vanity which now prevails in female attire. Though the country is poor, sod distress meets us on every side, yet the expenditure on dross has been daily increasing, an d it is now carried to unjustifiable stomas not only by the rich, but by many who are not affluent—by the families of an d by servants, and by teachers in the national schools, who often give very had examples to their pupils. Even children are now trained in a love for vanity, and their tender minds filled with a love for the foolish and excessive pampa and &Amos of the world. To support iclle pomp and mere vanity, as much is expended as would relieve vast multitudes of the poor suffering members of Jeans Christ." INCORPORATED SOCIETY OF Lit:Morn VIiTUALe ERRic—ELECTION OF GOVERNOR. Yesterday a general meeting of the committee was held at the school.houee, Kennington-lace, for the purpose of electing the governor for the ensuing year. The gentlemen eligible for that im port.tot office were the three trustees who had served for the two years immediately preceding. namely, Mr. Henry Janaway, of Drummond-street. Easton-square; Mr. John Resat, of the City-road, and Mr. W. S. Richardson, St. John-street, ClerkeiewelL Previous to the election, Mr. Read declined being a candidate, therefore the contest wee limited to Mr. Janaway and Mr. W. S. Richardson. A ballot was taken, as required by the 10th section of the bye-laws ; the result of which wee that the votes for Mr. Janaway and Mr. Richardson were equal, and con win.* the go vernor, Mr. Copus, wee called upon for the casting vote. Mr. Copus addressed the member+, raying how reluctant he felt in having to give the casting vote on the present occasion. but his pommel friendship for Mr, Janaway,extendieg over many years, was of greater duration than that with Mr. itichaelson ; he therefore felt bound to ive his suffrage is favour of Mr. Janaway. Not th.t M r . • wee lees qualified than Mr. Janaway, but his vote was iufluenced by the reason be had just &rived. Mr. Jasaway was then declared Governor of - the Incorporated So il ety for the mum* year, and wee warmly oongratulakd by his colleagues and the members of the society on his election.
